"I wonder where Po is." Viper said.
The five walked around talking about random things. The subject that was brought up was was about Po being late...again.
"He should have been done at home by now." Crane pointed out.
"If so, then I doubt he'll be able to spend time home to spend the night anytime soon." Monkey said with a little chuckle until someone ran into him.
"O-Oh, I apologize masters." the pig servant said. "Please excuse me, I must get to the Dragon Warrior's room."
"Why, is he here?" Tigress asked.
"Yes, but he is doing chores. I am to take care of his child until he is done."
"Oh, okay then." Mantis said before they seperated from the servant.
But after a few seconds, they ran back to the servant once they realized what he said.
"On second thought, we'll take care of it." Mantis said before they speed to Po's room.
The servant was spooked when they just ran to him, but left it alone and walked away.
They walked into Po's room and saw the little cub in the bed squirming and trying to crawl on the bed.
Hélándòu looked up at them in bewilderment, having not seen such animals before. Then again, the only animals he's offically seen in his whole four days of life was a panda, goose, snow leopard, and a red panda.
Well, the proof was there. Po has a child now. It was silent.
"Well." Crane said. "Somebody say something."
"Hi there!" Viper said about to slither onto the bed.
"Wait Viper!" Mantis said. "You might scare the little guy. Let me try."
Mantis hopped onto the bed, in front of the cub.
"Hi there little guy." Mantis said (even though Hélándòu was alot bigger) walking to him.
But little Hélándòu didn't see Mantis as a...well...mantis. He saw him as a walking snow pea plant on the count of his arms almost looked like snow peas. He made a baby noise with a smile and grabbed Mantis' arm.
"Hey little guy likes me. He actually-"
Mantis couldn't finish before he was stuffed into the cub's mouth and started being 'gummed', only to leave his legs out to kick at the air. You could still hear his mumbled voice screaming for help.
Tigress reacted quickly and snatched Mantis out of the cub's mouth.
"You ok?" She asked.
"I-I-I'm fine..." Mantis said twitching.
Hélándòu looked the big-striped kitty with teary eyes. Why did she take his plant away? The plant wanted to be eaten by him, didn't it? So, why did she take it? It wasn't fair!
"Uh Tigress?" Monkey said pointing at the cub.
Tigress looked at the cub and saw that he was about to started crying.
"Oh no..." Tigress whispered in horror as she was about to hear her most hated sound.
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
They all covered their ears. Hélándòu sat there crying his head off about his 'plant' being taken away.
"Maybe we should've let the servant come too!" Crane said.
-With Po-
Po's ears perked up to the sound of very near crying and made him stop dusting the weapons.
"Hélándòu?"
Po set down the duster and ran to his room to see what that servant is doing to his son.
-With Shifu-
Shifu was meditating on the fact that Po wanted to raised a cub, no less a snow leopard. As you guessed, he lost trust in all snow leopards in general, cub and adult. Though he missed Tai Lung's innocence, he wanted nothing to do with those cats after the incident ever again. But somehow, he now has no choice because Po brought one to the Palace.
'Don't worry, Shifu.' A voice in his head said. 'Po can't take care of a newborn for long. It's only a matter of time.'
Shifu smirked at the thought, but snarled when his ears perked at the sound of that thing crying.
"Please let that time be soon..." Shifu growled.
-Po's room-
Po opened the door only to see Tigress running around the room holding Hélándòu while said infant was screaming angrily and hitting her in the head with Mantis, holding his abdemen. Eveyone else was chasing her.
"SLOW DOWN LITTLE GUY! I NEED THAT!" Mantis yelled.
Po found this whole thing amusing, but it had to stop so Hélándòu could be fed. He cleared his throat loudly, causing everyone in the room to stop what they're doing, expect Hélándòu. He was still hitting Tigress with Mantis.
"Hélándòu please." Po said.
Tigress figured he meant the cub and handed it to him. Hélándòu still tried to reach and hit Tigress.
"Hélándòu, Tigress is a friend." Po said. "You don't hit friends."
Hélándòu looked up at his father with a tilted head, not knowing what a 'friend' was. Po took Mantis out of Hélándòu's hand and set him down.
"Thanks~ Po..." He said dizzily.
Hélándòu was about to cry about it again. The five covering their ears. Po put a bottle he got before coming in into Hélándòu's mouth. The cub smiled around his bottle and giggled.
"What happened?" Po said.
After a brief explanation, Po laughed.
"So, you guys really think it was unbelievable for me to have a kid?" He asked.
"No, just not all that likely." Monkey said.
"Po, you're not the most attractive guy around, nor the lightest." Mantis said with a nevrous smile.
"Jeez, thanks guys, it's good to know I'm so loved here." Po said sarcatically.
Hélándòu giggled and reached up for Po. Po chuckled.
"He should be a lot friendlier now." Po said. "If you guys still want to take care of him some more-"
"NO!" All five of them said in unison.
Po and Hélándòu jumped at that.
"W-We mean maybe a servant is better to do it then us, Po." Crane said.
Po smiled smugly as they walked out of the room. Po seperated from them to find someone to take care of Hélándòu while he finished his chores.
-Shifu-
Shifu opened one of this eyes and perked his ears to hear no more crying.
'Finally!' Shifu thought before going back into meditation.
