"Are you sure he's ready, for a toddler-bed." Herbert asked Jupiter.
"Uh-huh, with Casey on the way, he needs to have a toddler-bed." she replied to him.
It was a few momths after Jupiter had revealed she was pregnant with a female-cub, she and Herbert had made the nursery but needed a crib, and Rocket was becoming a toddler so he needed an actual bed only Herbert knew Rocket wouldn't like this and freak out or get upset sighing but maybe he could prepare him for this new change so he wouldn't freak out.
"What's going on, what's daddy and mommy talking about." Rocket thought confused while eating a snack being a toddler-cub he was eating solid foods and still drinking milk, only picky which Jupiter and Herbert were working on so the bed thing would add to this, so Rocket was wondering what was going on.
"Don't worry buddy, we'll talk about it in a bit." Herbert told him burping him making him chuckle.
"We should tell him about the bed thing, he might be okay with it." Jupiter whispered seeing Rocket confused but they were hanging out in Rocket's room which was cosy and inviting seeing the crib sighing.
"Buddy we have to talk, so you know your brother or dister's coming, and they need the crib, you're getting a big-cub bed." he told him hearing whimpers knowing this might happen, if he knew so was comforting him telling him a story about a brave cub that was a prince who went on adventures which was making him happy, getting sleepy so Herbert was kissing him goodnight leaving him be, after turning on his nightlight seeing Jupiter there asking how thijgs were.
"He got a little upset but I reassured him it would be okay." he told her relieving her
"That's good buddy, as you're a good daddy to him and our new cub." she told him.
He saw Sacha and Simone with her and he was doing his daily rounds of Wondergore, hoping Rocket wouldn't wake up from his nap yet or try to find him, seeing them happy seeing them asking about the new cub so he was answering their questions but returning to their penthouse apartment fixing Rocket a snack hearing him begin to stir scampering into the kitchen rubbing sleep from his eyes, enjoying said snack only he was letting him play, while he and Jupiter set up his new bed noticing he was curious making Herbert sigh.
"Tonight's gonna geca long one." he muttered as Jupiter understood hoping he was wrong.
"Have you dealt with him, when he's going throughout a big change." Herbert told her seeing said toddler raccoon come in, he was curious about what was happening guessing it was his hew bed and it was big, surprising him knowing that tonight would be the first night in this new bed feeling scared already which Herbert sensed stroking behind his furry ear which was helping him calm down, but then stroked Jupiter's big bump.
"Ssshhhh, lil one, sorry if we woke you, we're making your big brother's new bed." he said soothingly impressing Rocket
"Wow, daddy is really good with that, maybe he'll help me with my new ged." he thought to himself unaware Jupiter noticed this, she was hoping he'd talk soon since he was walking now, only Herbert had told her to be patient with that seeing he heard Lylla so was allowed to go play so he'd be out of their fur so they could finish setting up his bed but heading to the playground, seeing her hug him giggling.
"Ohhhhh, they got you a big-cub bed huh, it'll be okay." she told him.
"What do you mean by that, Lylla." he asked her as she told him.
"Rocket, it's time to get ready for bed, and the first night in your new bed, plus Groot's all tucked in waiting for you." Jupiter said to him making the male-cub anxious because Lylla had told him monsters lived under the bed gulping but heading to the bathroom to get started on his bedtime routine only Herbert sensed his prince's anxiety, so knew tonight would be a rough night for them, but also for Rocket.
"Maybe daddy can help me, with this problem." Rocket thought while having his bedtime snack, only they were heading to his room and was tucking him in, telling him stories until he was starting to ger sleepy unaware there were glow in the dark stars above the bed seeing the nightlight on, feeling him kissing his furry head seeing him snugglijg his Groot stuffie and even though the nightlight was on, with the glow in the dark stars shining, he couldn't get what Lylla had said out of his mind whimpering unaware Herbert could hear him guessing somebody had told him something involving monsters.
He then went to his room, but lying on the huge toddler-bed which was making Rocket relax lying beside his dad, but the cosy aura was helping them both relax, falling asleep as Hupiter went tomfind her husband, she couldn't help but smile finding him sleeping with Rocket taking a picture.
