An angry Noodle, lay on her bed, blasting Flyleaf on her stereo, sobbing in her pillow. "Poor Emily". Noodle whispered to herself. She then dimmed the lanterns hanging on the ceiling, and decided to meditate for a while, hopefully without any distractions. She sat on a pillow, sighed, and then…. "Baby girl, can I and D come in" asked a familiar voice. "It figures, as soon as I…. yes, you may enter, replied Noodle. Russel crept in with 2-D following behind like a lost puppy.
"Hey, Noods, are you alright luv?" asked the concerned 2-D. "Yeah, what happened today?" Russel added. "Well, to be honest with the two of you, I am not okay, and soon Emily will not be either." stated a shaken Noodle. "What? If I find out Murdoc isn't taken his responsibility, I'll…." yelled Russel, but was rudely interrupted by his Baby girl. "It's not that Russel-san, Murdoc is a loving caring father…..some of the time, and then he's not." replied Noodle. "What do ya mean Noodle….I'm lost……hey! Where am I……who are you?…….etc." 2-D then started to trail off around the room, for being severely confused, and a little brain damaged. Noodle continued the conversation with Russel.
"What I mean is, when he is alone with Emily, he…" then Noodle was rudely interrupted. "Oh, My God, he better not be abuse'n that baby, I'll rebreak that fucked up nose of his again!" roared Russel. "No,No,No…. It's not what you think Russel-san, you didn't let me finish." replied a scared Noodle. Russel then suddenly stopped roaring at the gods, and flexing his muscles, and said. "Well, why didn't ya say something, damn girl, got me riled up for nothing…?" Russel then trailed off to himself, but quickly came back when he realized that Noodle started to weep a little.
"Alright, I'm sorry, Noodle, please tell Me." said Russel. "Well, Murdoc….he really does love Emily, he cares for her, but when me..or you (she points to Russel), or 2-D enters the area he and Em are in, for some reason, he tries to act like the baby is a real burden, and ignores her needs for attention and love……. My heart hurts for her" Noodle then bust into tears. Noodles cries had awoken 2-D from his trance and he came rushing over to aid his little luv.
"It will be alright, Noodle girl" said Russel as he hugged her tightly in his big bear arms, " Ya wanna know why?... Me, you and D are gonna have a large discussion with Muds at dinner, we'll sort this out." 2-D felt a little lonely and jumped at the two of them yelling "GROUP HUGGG!!!" and he knocked them all down onto the floor, and then all rolled around, grabbing pillows, and had a war with them. 2-D and Russel would do anything to cheer up the youngest member of the band.
It was dark in the carpark, oddly dark, on the way to Emily's room. Her room was ajar, and Murdoc crept in to check on her. He didn't bother to turn on the light, he wasn't in the mood, to see the cheery colors that brightened up the room. He leaded over her crib, and was at awe. All you could hear was Emily suckling on her pacifier, and her heavy breathing she made through her nose. From Murdoc's tear stained face, a slight smile appeared, he leaded down and stroked her chubby belly, her shirt was a little too small for her belly and rose up over it, and he felt her warm skin, as it moved uo and down with every breath. He leaded in closer and gave her belly a gentle kiss. " I'm soo sorry, baby. I owe you an apology." He then paused for a moment, as if Em was going to respond, but of coarse he knew she couldn't, not to mention she was in a deep sleep. "I should have treated you better in front of the gang...I don't know whats wrong with meh" Murdoc then went over and sat in the rocking chair in the dark to collect his thoughts. Moments later, Emily started to stirr, and then cry. " Uh Oh.. Alright baby, Daddy's here". Murdoc then picked his daughter up and tried to sooth her. "Shhh, alright sweetheart, I'm here...I'm here" Murdoc tried to reasure. Then when he gave her a kiss on the cheek, the tears stopped flowing, and she feel asleep, resting her head in the nook between his neck and his shoulder. Murdoc's face became red, and he couldn't help but grin widely. " What are ya doing to meh little girl". stated Murdoc in a slight embarassed chuckle. " Me...Murdoc Niccals...bass player satanist of Gorillaz, softens up and melts like butter, from a sleeping baby...who'd a thunk?" he chuckled again
