"Awwww, somebody loves the bubbles and splashing with Lyllie." Rocket said.
It was early-evening and Rocket was giving both Lylliecand Rockey a bath to help them soothe for bedtime, as he'd made Rockey pyjamas that matched his special blanket but Lyllie was splashing making Rockey giggle softly impressing him and Lyllie as Lyllie was beginning to talk, which made Lylla happy despite what her first words were.
"Okay, it's tije to get out, get dried off, get in pyjamas and have fun." Rocket told them, as he helped them out but drying them off putting Rockey in his new pyjamas making him in awe hugging him as his way of thanking him noticing he was standing but wobbling a little making him and Lyllie impressed.
"Atta boy, I'm so proud but we have to baby-proof the house so you and Lyllie don't get hurt." he told him seeing him grin following him out of the bathroom making everybody surprised that he was walking wearing his blanket around him like a cloak but had his furry heas up high like the prince he was making Lylla and Jupiter exchanging a grin alomg with Herbert making Rockey whimper seeing him.
"It's okay buddy, we'll work on that." Rocket whispered to him.
"Yeah, me help too." Lyllie said to him making Rocket smile.
"See, Lyllie wants to help you too." he said to him as he was making their bedtime snacks as Herbert was trying to bond with Rockey but the infant male kept moving away from him as Rocketvwalked in with tea and scones seeing him hiding putting the tray on the table sitting on the floor near his infant-self comforting him and singing softly which Lylla found sweet but saw him calmer noticing Herbert sad, so was seeing Jupiter and Casey understanding, seeing RJ hug his grandpa's leg.
After snacks, Rockey was on Rocket's lap in their room, telling him a story which was relaxing him, kissing him goodnight afterwards putting him in his crib along with the nightlight leaving him be, seeing his dad drinking tea joining him.
"Don't be so bummed about Rockey's reactions to you, he was traumatized by his you so we'll work on that but he's walking now so we have to baby-proof the house so he doesn't hurt himself." he told him.
"I know that, but Lyllie too, I wanna be part of his life like with you." he told him.
"Awwww, not bad." they heard Lyllie say surprising them, that she was up taking her to her and Lylla's room surprising her that Lyllie had wscaped but relieved the infant-female realised Herbert here was nice hoping Rockey would learn this checking on him hearing him asleep but yawning getting into bed himself cuddling his Lylla and Nebula stuffies zoning out into sleep which Herbert noticed tucking him in, kissing his furry head.
"Sweet dreams boy, we'll talk in the morning." he whispered leaving his room
He was unaware that his young self's ship was in the garage but needed fixing up, and was leading Herbert to the garage showing him makijg Herbert smirk knowing this was amazing and had an idea, that they could bomd using this.
"Yep, let's try in the morning, as we've had this ship for a long time." he told him.
"Yep, but things turned out alright in the end." Herbert said to him.
The next morning after breakfast, Rockey was excited seeing his ship in the garage making Rocket chuckle as he had seen his younger self putting on safety-goggles making Herbert grin, only he noticed Rockey not noticing him guessing he wasfocused on fixing his ship making excited noises, making Rocket chuckle knowing this was working hearing giggling seeing his infant self grabbingva minibblowtorch making him worry.
"I know you made it before, but let me help okay." Rocket told him seeing Rockey hand it to him.
"Good boy, as we care about you, and don't want you hurt okay." he told him patting his furry head.
