Now...here's the daunting task Arizona has to take on...changing Jacob's diaper.
Chapter 7: Diaper Change
At Arizona and Sierra's room, Arizona was the only one in the house tending with little Jacob, in which he's grown a little spiky mohawk like his father and he started grooming the cub's fur and said, "You're gonna look really good-looking when you get older."
During the time that Arizona's grooming his son's fur, Jacob started fussing a little bit and Arizona was still grooming him entirely and he said, "Come on, son...just a little more."
Jacob continued to be fussy and Arizona was trying his best to keep grooming him, but it was kinda evident that Jacob doesn't like to be groomed and started moving away from his father and Arizona said, "Come on, Jake. I gotta groom you. Besides, mommy doesn't want you to have a messy fur."
He picked Jacob up and the cub started fussing his head off, but just after he picked him up, Arizona smelled something completely foul and he checked Jacob to see what it is and from the minute he smelled him, he covered his nose because the smell was so strong and said, "Someone's getting a diaper change."
Arizona lets out a deep sigh and just decided to skip the fur groom and change his diaper as he set him down on the table, gathered some baby wipes and fresh set of diapers to prepare himself for the most enduring tasks he could ever endure.
Suddenly, he sees a white mask thrown at the door and Arizona walks over to see where did this come from and soon enough, Mako pops his head over and said, "Comes in handy."
After Mako left, Arizona set the mask down and proceeded to remove Jacob's diaper and once he removed it, the stinky stench overpowered him and Arizona just groaned and gagged in disgust, almost like he was ready to throw up because the baby stink was so horrible, but never thought it's be this strong and he started coughing.
"Oh man..." Arizona said, covering his nose.
Arizona felt like he couldn't breathe with that stench all over the room and decided it was best to put on that white mask to protect his sense of smell and as he put it on, he went forward with the diaper change and placed the dirty diaper onto the trash, grabbed the baby wipes and just wiped Jacob's butt several times and after that, he puts on a fresh new diaper for him.
Once he got that out of the way, he held him and said, "Good as new. Now...let's groom your fur, buddy."
Several minutes after that, Arizona walked downstairs with Jacob in arm and gives the mask back to Mako and he asked, "How'd you know?"
Mako chuckled softly after that question and he replied, "It helped me get through my first 9 kids and also with my newborn baby cubs as well. Changing a baby's diaper is not the most easiest task when you're a parent. The smell could be unbearable. But...at the same time, you have to do it in order to keep your baby clean and clothed."
Arizona chuckled softly at that and he said, "That's an issue I have with Jake. This little guy does not like clothes because he's used to walking around with his diaper on."
"Believe it or not, Cody, Samurai and Phoenix wanted to just run around naked when they were babies." Mako said, chuckling.
Suddenly, Arizona was surprised to hear that his half-cousins used to not like clothes when they were babies and asked, "Really?"
"Oh, really. Them and Tsunami. Some of my daughters were not tolerant of the boys running around naked when they were kids. Often times, I think Samurai and Phoenix used to wet themselves on purpose as an excuse to run around naked in the house." Mako added.
"I didn't know that. Jacob's no different either from those guys, right?" asked Arizona.
"Of course. You just have to be very patient with them and just teach him what's right and what's not and that way, he'll learn to listen to you and that whatever you say goes and I know you're very capable of handling this situation." Mako said.
"Thanks. I think those advices about being a dad will help me become a better father." Arizona added.
"There will be some bumpy roads along the way, but you gotta keep going forward. That changing diaper is just the first of many times to handle Jake." Mako added.
"First? You mean...there's gonna be more?" asked Arizona.
Mako nodded his head at that and Arizona could tell that Jacob's gonna be a handful, but he's gonna take any advice from Mako to be the best father he can be and he said, "At least I can make sure that he's gonna be the best person he can be and have a great family life for him. One way or another, I'm gonna give Jacob a life I never had when I was a cub."
"Very wise man. You're turning into the young man I know you have become, son." Mako said, happily.
After Arizona went back upstairs, Samurai came downstairs with this embarrassed look on his face and said, "You weren't supposed to mention that."
"Just giving Arizona a few examples." Mako added.
"But that's still embarrassing." Samurai said, blushing.
"Do I have to show you the picture of just you and your butt cheeks when you were a baby cub?" asked Mako.
"No! Please don't show that picture! It's just too embarrassing enough as it is." Samurai pleaded.
Now was that hilarious or what? Stay tuned for more!
