IDIC- A New World Order

Part 20 Shopping For A Baby Vulcan

Amanda, Adrianna, Heather Jamie and T' Mara all were shopping together.

T' Mar watched as the human women all seemed entranced by the various baby things. They were debating the merits of something called One's over a simple t'shirt and nappies. She could not believe the variety of clothing that Terran's seemed to need for their young. While she was no expert she could not understand why so many items would be needed.

"T'Sia Amanda why would you require so many differing clothing items. Surely the baby will out grow most before you he can ever wear them?"

Jamie chuckled as did Adrianna.

"Honey they baby will likely need all of these and more. If he is anything like Rordan. I swear I changed that boy's cloths half a dozen times a day and the nappies even more." Adrianna said smiling.

"Half a dozen times? Was he a sickly child?" T' Mara asked clearly concerned.

"No just a typical boy. He wet his nappies and sometimes me a lot." Adrianna said laughing.

"Not just you. " Said Heather.

Amanda to was laughing as was Jamie. "I know he christened me a time or two as well."

"I do not understand?" T' Mara saic clearly confused.

"Well human babies especially males don't have a lot of control. So when you change them. Put a clean nappy on the cooler air can trigger a response. Sometimes they hit you with their urine." Adrianna said trying to keep a straight face.

"Sometime?" Jamie said laughing "I tell you I was never so happy as when Sam was toliet trained." Jamie was pleased to recall a happy memory of her lost son.

The three human women grinned.

"I see. T'Sia I do not think that will be a problem with your son. He will be Vulcan. Sarek will simply explain it is not proper to christen his caregivers."

"T'Mara it is not a voluntary response. Humans do not have control so young." Amanda said softly" However if he does have control I won't complain much."

She strolled over to a small display. "Oh look at this. "I think this is adorable. We need to purchase it. It will go with the colors of the nursery. " She picked up a small stuffed bear that was a light sandy color. "Perfect for cuddling."

"He is cute." Heather said "look there are sheets to match. I like these. What do you think Amanda?"

"They are adorable." She said

"Where is the logic in having these bears on the sheet?" T'Mara asked.

"Why they are cute." Adrianna said "I had my nursery in the Winnie the Pooh theme."

"Winnie the Pooh?" T'Mara asked

"Oh boy we need to educate you. I mean you really need to know this stuff for when you and Daniel have children." Adrianna teased.

T'Mara looked confused. "Why?"

"Because. Amanda? Help me out here?"

Amanda grinned. "There is a logical reason T' Mara. I know it does not seem like it. However the reason is simple. Human babies do not see well at first. They are far more tactile. Soft fuzzy animals and soft bedding comfort them. Remember humans are not telepathically bonded to their children in most cases. They see only indistinct outlines and colors. The bright primary colors help them see and the shapes help them focus. A devices like this mobile keeps them entertained but also helps them focus and gain depth perception. We use whimsical creatures to develop the imagination."

"Logical and intriguing. Perhaps I should o research on this Winnie the Pooh." T'Mara said

"And Tigger too." Heather said teasingly.

"What is a Tigger? Do you not mean Tiger? Are the not extinct on Terra?"

Amanda sighed. "I think we need to have an old fashioned movie night. What do you say ladies?"

"Oh I am in. Garak needs to learn to. I mean he will have to know for the baby. Sarek too." Adrianna said

"I would love to. It has been years since I watched those movie classic." Jamie said smiling. "Heather what do you say?"

"Oh I am in. If for no other reason then to see how the men react."

Amanda rolled her eyes but smiled it would be fun to see Sarek's reactions. Maybe they could invite Felix and Farnia and the children as well. It would be fun to see their non-human friends reactions.
