"Po!" Mr. Ping shouted while he knock on the door of his son's room. "Wake up! Just because you're leaving later doesn't mean you can't work now!"
But Mr. Ping heard Po talking to someone. He put his ear hole to the thin door to listen.
"-But how will Shifu act when he sees you? Or the Five?"
Mr. Ping opened the door slightly and looked in. What he saw shocked him. Po was holding a little snow leopard cub, who was giggling at Po's panic like it was a game.
"Po?"
Po jumped and almost dropped the baby.
"Oh! M-Morning dad! I'll be down in a minute!" He said.
Mr. Ping didn't really hear what Po said. He was still staring at the little cub that was reach out for him. Po noticed and laughed nervously.
"Um, how to explain this?...Dad, meet your new grandson, Hélándòu." He said as calm as possible.
Po flinched little and closed his eyes, waiting for his 'dad's' reaction. He felt Hélándòu being taken out of his hands, then the sounds of cooing and laughing. Po opened his eyes and saw Mr. Ping talking baby-talk to Hélándòu.
"Well, I was wondering when you were going to bless me with grandchildren." Mr. Ping said in a kind, yet stern tone.
This made Po happy, but confused. Po would have thought that his 'dad' would be mad at him for having something or someone in the house without his knowing.
"But we did he come from?" Mr. Ping asked as he give the cub back to Po.
"I don't know." Po said as they walked down the stairs to the shop. "I found him outside in a basket last night. No note or anything. I actually thought that you'd freak out about it."
Mr. Ping looked at Po while getting out the vegetables.
"What? You know what I always say, 'There's always room for one more at Mr. Ping's!'" He said. "Plus, when he's older, he could could be pass down the family business, unlike his father."
Po chuckled when he remembered that his 'dad' does say that a lot, and pouted a little about the family business thing. While Po was preparing Hélándòu's bottle, Mr. Ping continued speaking.
"But one can wonder what that master of yours and your friends will react." He said.
"*sigh* I know, I was thinking about it this morning." Po said as he started to feed Hélándòu. "Who knows what Shifu would say about it. The five would probably be in and out about it, but I'm not sure."
"You...could probably keep him here and I could take him off your hands. Or you could stay here and raise him." Mr. Ping suggested slyly.
Po chuckled.
"Nice try dad." He said." But I have my duties at the Jade Palace and what kind of father would I be to leave my new son in the care of his grandfather his whole life?"
Mr. Ping smiled sadly.
"Didn't hurt to try." He said. "Just come to visit more otfen so I can see my grandson. But right know, while you are still here, finish feeding Hélándòu and start feeding the customers."
Po smiled as he walked upstairs to find his old high-chair to place Hélándòu in it.
