After Lotus first word, she didn't say anything else for the next few days. It was normal for babies her age. They'll say something one day and the next few, the will not speak at all. They will speak when they were ready. Or that's what Drax said.

So Peter decided to wait. And wait. And wait. A week, damn! She hasn't said one word. She just sucked on her fist like there was no tomorrow. That was the only thing she did with her mouth aside from eating. If she wanted to.

"Come on, Lotus. One bite!" Peter was sitting on the kitchen table, holding a spoon towards Lotus' mouth, who was in her dining chair, courtesy of Drax, thank you very much. "Do it for daddy."

Lotus turned away as the spoon approached her face. "Say 'dada'. Dada- shit, I'm Star-Lord. I'm not supposed to say all this. This is embarrassing."

"But cute."

Peter turned around and saw Gamora walking towards the fridge, grabbing a candy bar.

"You're not telling Rocket, are you?"

"No promises." She took a bite of her candy bar while approaching Peter and Lotus. "Any luck?"

"Nope. She doesn't give a shit about her food."

Gamora handed him what was left of her candy bar. "Let me try." She took the spoon from his hands. Correction: snatched the spoon. Peter just took a bite of what was left from the candy bar.

"Do you want to eat this, Lotus?"

The baby looked at her and then at the spoon. She turned away again. Peter, who finished the bar, grabbed the spoon from Gamora's hand. "You are doing something wrong. Let me try." He approached the spoon at Lotus' face. "Here comes the plane!"

Lotus gave an annoyed sound. Gamora snatched back the spoon. "You are doing something wrong."

"Excuse me, I'm her dad."

"Excuse me, but you only had her for one month and a half."

"Still!"

Lotus looked at the two adults. What were they doing? She was having so much fun neglecting her food. Why were they fighting over a spoon?

"Peter…" Gamora growled.

"Hey, I got an idea it's gross, but I think it will work." Peter turned to Lotus. "Look at me, Lotus. This food looks delicious. In fact, I'm going to try it." He grabbed an adult spoon with baby food and shove it to his mouth. He made a disgusted face and closed his eyes. He gulped the stuff down. "Puaj!"Gamora started laughing and Lotus started giggling.

"This stuff takes like shit! Why do babies have to eat this? Why they don't get intoxicated? I'm pretty sure that if you give this to Thanos, he'll agree with me! Bullshit! Yuck!" he made a mad dash towards the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water and started to gulp it down. Gamora diminished her laughing to slight giggles, but it was Lotus who had a hard time stopping her laughter. Peter finished his bottle of water and sighed. "What are you girls laughing at?" he threw away the empty bottle. "I'm making you eat that 'stuff', Gamora. I'll promise you that you'll eat shit." He grabbed the spoon and fill it with baby food.

"Don't even dare, Quill. I know twenty ways to kill you from this distance and I'll use them all if you dare to try and feed me that stuff."

Peter smirked. "I guess its better that eating this shit." He approached with the spoon in hand.

"Peter! Don't you dare!" Gamora said, as she got up and took a few steps back. A small smirk on her lips.

Peter advanced with the spoon, trying to make Gamora eat it. She ran around the kitchen with Peter hot on her heals. Neither of them noticed Drax entering the kitchen, sitting down in front of Lotus and started to feed her. Amazingly, she ate the 'stuff' as Peter just called the baby food.

Peter stopped chasing Gamora to look at Drax feeding his daughter. Gamora stood beside Peter, both staring at them in amazement. Drax finished feeding the baby and Lotus let out a loud yawn. Drax turned his head to look at Peter and Gamora. "Trick them into thinking its candy. It always works." He stood up and walked to the kitchen's entrance. "By the way, Quill? Gamora? Will you stop behaving like children and act like adults?" And the strong man left.

"Well… He thinks we are kids now." Peter said.

"I guess that happen when someone spends too much time in this ship." Gamora said. "Specially your ship."

Peter rolled his eyes and picked his daughter up. "I'll take his words of baby wisdom next time."

"You should. Guess we both learned something new today."

"Yep. I can't believe I ate that stuff. I was stupid in doing so."

"Yes, you were. But it was fun to watch you choke on her food."
