I haven't put up a story about Poof yet so here you go
Their New Baby
Cosmo and Wanda came into their castle one night feeling happier than they'd ever felt in their lives. Wanda held their new born baby in her arms. Previously, it had been against Fairy Law to have babies since Cosmo was born. But six months ago (fairy pregnancies only lasted six months) Timmy had wished she would have a baby. And just that morning, she had given birth to their baby boy Poof. Now they were probably the happiest couple in the universe. They had wanted a baby for so long and they thought they would never have one, but now they were parents.
Wanda flew over to the couch and sat down still admiring Poof. Cosmo sat down next to her with his arm around her also looking at their baby who stared up at them with wide eyes. "It's been a crazy day," he said.
Wanda nodded in agreement. "Tell me about it. We couldn't just have a baby like normal fairies could we?" So much had happened that day after Poof's birth. The pixies, anti-fairies, and Jorgen had come in only a few minutes after she'd given birth and were trying to take Poof away and use his magic for their own purposes. She and her husband weren't going to have that. They went through everything to get Poof back. When anti-Cosmo and the head pixie captured him and she saw what they were going to do to him, it seemed like they would never get him back and she broke down in tears. All her life she had wanted to raise a child and then when she finally had one, he was taken away from her. But they did get him back thanks to Timmy and she would be forever grateful to him for that.
Cosmo ran his finger across Poofs cheek and he held it. "He looks like you Wanda."
"He looks like you too hon."
Cosmo played with Poof's tiny fingers making baby noises and it made him laugh. He looked at his wife who was looking down at their giggling baby with a content look on her face. "Wanda?"
"Yeah Cosmo?"
"Do you think I'll be a good father?" he asked.
She looked at him. "Oh Cosmo, I know you'll be a good father."
"How do you know? I've made so many mistakes in the past. If I can't get things right as a god father how can I be a good father to Poof? And if I was a good father, I would have kept him away from the pixies and anti-fairies…"
Wanda put her finger on his lips to stop him. He was freaking out right now. She had been freaking out too; she just wasn't as open about it. "Shh Cosmo. So what if you've made mistakes in the past? You've always kept our god children happy. And you're the kindest most caring man I know. Look at how he's holding your finger right now. He loves you. You'll be a good father."
"Are you sure?" Cosmo asked still feeling unsure.
Wanda smiled. "I'm positive." Poof started to whimper and she rocked him. "Shh, no tears little one." He started to relax after a moment then cuddled up into her and went to sleep.
Cosmo looked at his little family. The fact that he was now a father both scared him and excited him. Back when he and Wanda had been just hoping for a baby before Timmy wished for it, he had no worries. All he wanted back then was a baby to hold. He ran his finger over his sleeping baby's soft little hand again. Despite what Wanda said, he was still worried. Poof's upbringing was half his responsibility too. What if he did something wrong?
Wanda looked at Cosmo. "You want to come with me to put him to bed?"
"Of course."
They flew upstairs and she gently placed Poof in his crib. They hovered there looking at him for a moment. He was so cute when he slept. After a few minutes they flew to their bedroom to get ready for bed themselves. Cosmo sat on their big bed in his green pajamas and Wanda sat at her vanity combing her hair. She glanced at Cosmo and noticed that he still looked uneasy. She flew over to him and held his hand. "Don't worry, everything will be fine. Okay?"
Cosmo gave her a small smile. "Okay."
She kissed him. "Come on, where's that happy Cosmo that I know?" she started tickling him.
He started laughing and trying to push her off. "Wanda, hahaha, stop!" He fell back on the bed and she continued tickling him. Then he gained the upper hand and started tickling her too. They rolled around until they fell off the bed and when they were on the floor they continued rolling around laughing. They got back on the bed and Cosmo grabbed a pillow and hit her over the head with it. She got one too and they got into an all out pillow fight. Suddenly Wanda realized how loud they were being. She stopped hitting him. "Cosmo…"
He hit her and she fell backwards. "Hey, you don't want to play anymore?"
Wanda sat up and put the pillow back. "We're going to wake him up." Cosmo put his pillow back too. Wanda lay back on the pillows and got under the covers. "I'm exhausted anyway."
Cosmo lay down next to her and rested his head in his hand looking down at her. "Why are you so tired?"
"Because giving birth to him was a long painful process and I didn't get to rest afterwards."
They settled for laying in the dark talking about their day and Wanda soon fell asleep. After spending a bit more time worrying, Cosmo fell asleep too. Much later, around 3 in the morning, Wanda was laying on his chest and they were both sleeping. Suddenly they were woken up by Poof crying. "What the hell?" Cosmo said sleepily.
"Babies cry at night honey," Wanda reminded him.
"Oh yeah," Cosmo said. He closed his eyes and started snoring again. He was woken up by Wanda shaking him.
"Go get him."
"Why me?"
She turned over so her back was to him. "Because I'm sleeping."
Cosmo was about to point out that he was sleeping too but there was no arguing with Wanda in the middle of the night when she was tired. He got up and flew to Poof's room. He picked up his baby and held him the way Wanda had taught him to. "Hey Poof, what's the matter?" He rocked him while he continued to cry. "Shh, don't cry. Daddy's here."
Poof stopped crying and gave him a sleepy smile. Cosmo sat down in the rocking chair and rocked him back to sleep. This was easy, peaceful. Maybe he was overreacting for nothing. Maybe, he really could do this.
The next morning Wanda woke up and found that Cosmo wasn't next to her. Maybe Poof woke up again and he took him downstairs. She put on her robe and started to go down there but passed Poof's room and saw Cosmo in there sleeping in the rocking chair with Poof in his arms. She laughed softly at the sight then went downstairs to go make both of her boys some breakfast. Before that though she came out of the fishbowl to check on Timmy. Sure enough he was still sleeping. She went back inside and made pancakes for Cosmo and herself.
Upstairs, Cosmo was woken up as he felt Poof starting to fidget in his arms. He yawned and rocked him. "Hey Poof, don't start crying again." Then Cosmo realized he must have to change his diaper. He sighed. Parenthood was going to take some getting used to.
After that he carried Poof downstairs. He couldn't fly yet, fairy babies couldn't fly for at least six months. He found Wanda in the kitchen making breakfast. She didn't notice him though so he tried to sneak up on her. "Hi Cosmo," she said when he was right behind her.
His face fell. "How did you know it was me?"
"I heard Poof yawn," she said. She kissed him and her baby. "Breakfast is ready if you're hungry."
He kissed her. "Thanks Wanda." He put Poof in the high chair and they sat down for breakfast.
After breakfast Poof was hungry so Wanda took him into the living room to sit on the couch and feed him and Cosmo washed the breakfast dishes. Wanda heard some noise in there. "Cosmo, are you okay?"
He poked his head into the room. "I'm fine honey. Don't worry about anything." Little did she know the sink kind of got out of control and water was all over the kitchen. He tried to clean it up with his wand but ended up making more of a mess. Eventually he managed to get it all cleaned up then went into the living room with his little family. "That's so cool," he said sitting next to them.
"What is?"
"How you can feed him like that. I wanna do it."
"You don't have boobs."
"Breast implants."
She laughed. "Don't get those! You can't breast feed with beast implants anyway."
"Then why do all the women in Fairy Wood have them?" he asked confused. If they ever ended up having babies wouldn't they want to keep the kid from starving?
Wanda shrugged. "I guess the pressures of being famous and they're insecure about themselves."
"Don't ever get plastic surgery Wanda. You're beautiful the way you are."
She smiled. "Thanks baby." She kissed him. Poof was finished and she picked him up to burp him.
"Can I do it?" Cosmo asked.
"Sure." She handed their baby to him and he put him on his shoulder.
"Like this?"
Wanda nodded. "Yup, that's right. Just like that." Afterwards she rested her head against Cosmo's shoulder playing with Poof while he held him. "I think we should stay home today dear."
"Why?"
"Because I'm still tired and I just feel like Poof will be a little more comfortable with it for right now."
He nodded in agreement. "But what about Timmy? What if he needs a wish?"
Wanda thought about that for a moment. Then she poofed up a fairy pager. "He can use this to contact us if he needs anything."
Cosmo kissed her. "You think of everything."
Wanda looked at the clock. "Timmy's probably awake by now." They left the fishbowl with Poof and Wanda held him now. Timmy had just come into the room from eating breakfast.
"Hi you guys. Hey Poof," he said.
"You don't mind if we stay here for the day, do you Timmy?" Cosmo asked.
Timmy frowned. "All day?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"We need to take care of Poof sweetie," Wanda said.
"And Wanda's still tired," Cosmo added.
Wanda handed Timmy the pager. "Don't worry sport. If you need us today, just press that button and one of us will be there to help you."
"Well, okay," Timmy said still a little disappointed but he understood that they had a baby to take care of now and couldn't devote every moment of their time to him.
"Have fun at school," Cosmo said.
Timmy picked up his bag. "Okay. Have fun here."
Once Timmy was gone Cosmo and Wanda looked at each other then down at their baby. This was their first full day as parents, out of the hospital, with no drama from anti-fairies or pixies. They were excited and also very nervous, especially when Poof started crying.
Wanda started rocking him. "Shh, don't cry sweetie."
Cosmo made a face. "Hey, look at the funny face. Funny right?"
That made Poof stop and laugh for a moment but then he started crying again.
Cosmo sighed. "What's wrong?"
Wanda shrugged. "I don't know." Then something occurred to her. "Maybe he needs to be changed." They went back into the fishbowl and sure enough he needed his diaper changed.
"Wanda?" Cosmo said when they were finished.
"Hmm?"
"What happens if he's crying and we can't figure out what's wrong? Does that make us bad parents?"
Wanda shook her head but the thought had never occurred to her. "No, we wouldn't be bad parents." She put a comforting hand on his. "I'm sure we'll be able to figure out what he needs Cosmo. Don't worry."
The rest of the day was surprisingly easy. An hour later Poof was sleeping again and Cosmo and Wanda sat in the living room playing Scrabble. He woke up a couple hours later hungry and Wanda fed him. Then afterwards he sat in the swing while Cosmo played with him and Wanda made sandwiches for them for lunch.
After lunch Cosmo continued to play with Poof and Wanda lay on the couch near them relaxing and watching her family. It made her smile to see Poof laughing and Cosmo tickling him and making funny faces and playing with toys with him. She remembered last night when Cosmo worried that he wouldn't be a good father but she knew that was far from true. She knew he would always make Poof happy.
When Timmy came home Poof was taking a nap. He only needed Cosmo and Wanda twice that day, each time Cosmo came to help him. Later that night when they put Poof to bed they went to bed themselves still feeling very happy.
The next morning when similarly except Cosmo woke up next to Wanda instead of in a rocking chair. The came out to say good bye to Timmy before he went to school.
"You're staying here again?" Timmy asked.
"Yes Timmy," Wanda said. "We'll be staying here more than usual for a while. You can still contact us if you need us, okay?"
The next couple of days went pretty similar to the last. One afternoon though Poof was crying a lot and Cosmo and Wanda were at their wits end. Nothing they tried helped. Cosmo was pacing back and forth across the room rocking him and Wanda was reading through one of the baby books she'd bought before he was born trying to find something that would help them.
"Let's see, he's not hungry, we changed him already, he's not sick…"
"Maybe he's cold," Cosmo suggested.
"We've got him wrapped up and the heat is on," Wanda pointed out.
"Hot?"
Wanda took that into consideration. She poofed the blanket off him and turned the heat down. Even still he continued to cry. She tried to give him his pacifier again but he didn't want it. She was getting frustrated now. He'd been crying for over an hour and they couldn't figure out what was wrong. "Oh Cosmo, I don't know!"
Cosmo ran his hand tiredly through his hair. "It's got to be something honey. He can't just be crying for no reason…" Suddenly Poof stopped crying and they looked down and saw him sleeping in Cosmo's arms. They looked down at him in disbelief.
"So…what, he was tired?" Wanda said.
"I guess so…" Cosmo said. They put him in his crib upstairs then went to their own bed and lay across it together. "I want a nap too now," Cosmo said.
"Me too," Wanda said. "Who would have thought this would be so tiring?" They ended up falling asleep. Hours later Wanda woke up hearing a beeping sound. She rubbed her eyes and realized it was the pager. Cosmo was still fast asleep so she poofed to Timmy's school and found him sitting outside by a tree. "What do you need sweetie?"
"I needed you an hour ago! Where were you?"
Wanda felt so guilty now. She'd practically ignored her god child. "I'm so sorry sweetie. Poof was crying all afternoon and Cosmo and I got tired and fell asleep. Why are you still here? Shouldn't you be home by now?"
"Francis is looking for me. I accidently hit him with my locker and now he wants to beat me up," Timmy said. "I wish Francis was held up to the flag pole by his underwear."
Wanda waved her wand and Francis appeared at the top of the flag pole screaming. Kids gathered around and laughed. "I'm sure you're not going to just leave him there right?"
Timmy shook his head. "Of course I am. He can figure out how to get down on his own. I wish we were at home."
They appeared back in Timmy's room and Cosmo came out of the fishbowl with Poof who was now awake but no longer crying and looked pretty happy to see them. "Poof and I were looking all over for you. We thought a werewolf came and took you away."
Wanda laughed. "I'm sorry. Timmy needed us and I didn't want to wake you up." She kissed her husband and then her baby.
The weekend had finally arrived. Taking care of a baby was proving to be a lot more work than Cosmo and Wanda thought. He was also crying a lot the day before and that morning but luckily it didn't last as long.
Timmy however was feeling a little neglected. He would have preferred to have them with him during the day as they always were. And when he was home, they spent all their time with Poof. It was always Poof this, and Poof that, and he always came first. At times he felt selfish for feeling this way. Poof was their baby after all and he had wished for him.
Cosmo and Wanda came out of the fishbowl with Poof one afternoon and found Timmy outside bouncing a basketball. "Hi Timmy!" they said.
"Hey guys," Timmy said.
"What do you say we do something fun today sport?" Wanda asked.
Timmy's face lit up. "Really?"
"Yeah, maybe go to the park, get some ice cream, make a few reckless wishes. You know, the usual," Cosmo said.
"We don't want you to feel neglected now that we have Poof Timmy," Wanda said. "We still love you just as much as we always have."
Timmy was very happy and also felt a little bad that he'd been so jealous. His god parents still love him just as they always had and nothing would change that.
Okay so as you can see, i changed Fairly Odd Baby around. The writers were obviously on drugs when they wrote that episode. So Wanda had Poof as nature intended her to.
