Chapter Four

Dirk is tired, oh so tired. Taking care of Dave was a struggle enough being a single guardian, add a grumpy, fussy troll grub into it and you're absolutely knackered before noon.

Dave has started walking so chasing him around was energy wasted, along with both infants arguing and fighting over something silly as toy or just the fact that they really just don't get along in general. Karkat's gotten a few teeth through, so now he can bite back, not that he gets the chance to since Dave usually loses balance when he's standing and ends up body slamming or sits on the red wriggler.

Now that he thought about it, he hasn't taken the kids out for a stroll in a while. Maybe he just needs some fresh air and get out of the house for a while. Yeah, that sounds pretty good right now. With a bit of effort, Dirk pulled himself up from his seat in the kitchen and walked towards the closet that he kept the double stroller in and rolled it into the lounge room. First he grabbed some supplies (sunscreen, bottles filled with milk and water, toys) then he buckled in Dave since he didn't have the biggest problem with the sun, Karkat on the other hand has to be wrapped up tightly in a blanket and have a baby beanie (with holes cut out for his nubby little horns) so he didn't get too much sun exposure. It's kinda sad having to wrap him up like it's the middle of winter when it's still very sunny and hot outside. Once he had them both strapped into the stroller, they set out into the outside world.

The sun was certainly out, guessing around 37 degrees celcius. Karkat let out a whine of discomfort, can't blame him, the poor little guy must be roasting in his blanket. The streets were pretty busy, filled with people and trolls of various sizes (though most were taller than Dirk, but that's normal as they grow to ridiculous sizes). After walking around for about half an hour there was a loud panting noise coming from Karkat, Dirk thought that it would be a good time for a break so he kept going till he found a familiar café. It was a major relief when he opened the door he was blasted by the cool rush of the air conditioner. Dirk searched around the place till he found one of the comfy couches that was unoccupied, he walked over and flopped onto the cool leather seat, sighing as his hot skin made contact with the cool leather. Pulling the stroller closer, he unbuckled Dave and sat him on his left as he unwrapped Karkat from his blanket.

Little Karkat was still panting heavily, desperate for a cool drink. Dirk reached to the bottom of the stroller and grabbed a baby bottle filled with milk which he brought it up to the grub's lips which he latched onto the end and gulped down the white liquid greedily.

This was pretty relaxing. Getting out of the apartment and going for a walk in the sun was a great idea, finally getting some fresh air and a different surrounding, it feels good.

"Dirk Strider? Ohmigawd Dirk!"

Dirk looked up and saw a bosomy blond with a very familiar cat graphic on her shirt and had a baby sitting in a carrier strapped to her torso.

"Heh, sup Rolal?"

"Dirk, where the hell have you been?! You haven't been on Pesterchum in 3 months!" The girl threw her arms in the air before sitting on the couch, facing Dirk.

"Look, I've been busy an-...Roxy, are you sober?"

Roxy giggled as she unstrapped the baby from her carrier and nursed the little girl on her knee. "Yeah, the 'rents are out and like, I've gotta look after little Rose so they've hidden the booze on me."

"I never thought I'd see the day where you're sober and being responsible."

"HEY! I can be responsible 'n…what is that?" Roxy pointed at the little grub that was still drinking his milk in Dirks arms. "Ohmigawd, He's so cute! Are you babysitting or something?"

Dirk sighed, "Lalonde, you really think that I have the time to babysit when I already have enough trouble with Dave?" Speaking of the devil, Dave had begun climbing over Dirk's legs towards Rose, almost losing his glasses in the process. Dirk placed Karkat in one arm so he could scoot his little brother over towards the other baby. "Look, I found one of those Troll guardian things dead outside the apartment, found this little dude with it and I brought him in, so I guess I adopted him"

"Naw~ not only are you a big brother but also an adoptive daddy."

"No, Karkat will call me Bro just like Dave."

"Whatever you say, Papa Dirk." Roxy teased which only made Dirk frown as the name. "Can I hold him?"

"Go for it, just keep your fingers away from his mouth, little fucker's only got 4 teeth but it hurts like a bitch." Dirk warned as he removed the now empty bottle and handed him over the woman. Rose flopped off Roxy's knee and landed next to Dave, who began talking to the little girl with baby babbling.

"Awwwww, so ca-ute!" Roxy gushed as she gave Karkat a tight hug, causing the red wiggler to groan and spit out a small amount of milk that dribbled down his tiny chin.

Dirk had to reach for a napkin in front of the couch to wipe the milk off his face. "Careful Lalonde, he's a bit fragile."

Roxy sighed, giving him another squeeze before placing him onto the couch with the two babies as she began badgering Dirk about not being on Pesterchum.

Karkat glared at the two human infants, Dave glared back from behind his shades while Rose looked at the grub in curiosity. The grub growled at them both, bearing his nubby teeth when Dave challenged him by raising his chubby little arm in the air, ready to slap the wiggler. Rose stopped him when she babbled something; Dave dropped his arm and looked at the other blond who just stared at Karkat intently.

Karkat frowned at the new kid, already deciding he didn't like her, mainly on the fact that she was associated with the jerk with the sunglasses. He growled at the girl who didn't seem fazed at the threat and kept staring at him. The longer she stared, the more uncomfortable he felt and soon found himself skuttling away from the two human offspring's and retreated behind one of Dirks legs. Peering over slightly from the adult's leg to still find Rose staring at him, Karkat quickly ducked back and curled up between the gap of his guardians leg. Maybe if he stayed there, the creepy human girl wouldn't find him.

I'm not sure if I'm happy with this one or not :\ I think school stress is finally catching up, it's cool though since I've only got 24 school days left then I'm done for good!

God I wish it was 37 degrees Celcius (roughly 98-99 Farenheight), I'm sick of the cold! well, anywhere between 25-37 would be perfect~

Also, sorry bout Roxy being sober, I'm pretty sure that there will be a fair bit of drunk Roxy to come, I only did this as an introduction =P

okay, I'm off

Hope you guys enjoy
