I slam my hand over my alarm clock...why am I up before twelve on a Saturday again? ...oh yeah, breakfast. I roll onto the floor with a whine before finally pushing myself up and out of my room, a quick shower wouldn't hurt, should it? After standing in the hot stream for a few minutes, I finally decide to wash, taking my time while thinking about what we could make. I wonder if we have any batter left?
Maybe pancakes? But what are we gonna make with pancakes? I'll have to see what's in the fridge. I hop out of the shower after rinsing off the suds and blindly find my way to a towel to dry off with in the now steamy bathroom. Throwing on a baggy t-shirt and a pair of shorts, I lazily clamber down the stairs, but when I turn the corner into the kitchen, I find a hot and ready breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and waffles with orange juice and milk already prepared.
And on top of it all, both Eraser and Marvul are leaning over the counter sipping on hot hugs of coffee quietly.
"Guys! You did all this?!" I mused, admiring the well prepared food.
"Yeah." Marvul yawned.
"Yep." Eraser hummed. Both of them glancing at me before returning to their mugs of coffee.
"When?! How?! Why?!" I grip my scalp, completely overwhelmed. Not only are they getting along, but clearly well enough to make an entire meal. Where was all this yesterday?!
"one, this morning, two, we cooked it, and three, because you told us too." Eraser snickered, I glare at him. Marvel rolls his eyes, taking over for the now laughing Eraser.
"When I got up and dressed, I noticed you were still asleep, so I thought I'd get a head start. After about an hour, Eraser joined me in the kitchen after hearing all of the noise." Marvul goes back to sipping his mug as Eraser relaxes enough to speak.
"I saw he was having some trouble, so I help him out a bit and got it all done in less than an hour. We...talked and worked some things out, and now we're cool. Your welcome." I hum, starting my own cup with the coffee maker.
"I'm proud of you two, you were able to make breakfast despite your differences and even work a few of your problems out. That really makes me smile." Their faces glow with multi colored embarrassed blushes and I laugh.
"We've got an hour or so before anyone wakes up, care to check on the baby with me?" I ask, pouring the hot drink into a clean mug out of the cabinet. They finish off their cups and place them in the sink. I might have to teach them to wash their own dishes if this keeps up.
"Yeah, sure, we've got nothing better to do." Eraser shoves his hands in his pockets, taking up on my offer. Marvul thinks for a few seconds before nodding as well.
"Cool, common boys, we don't have all morning." We all make our way back up the stairs and to the baby's room without trouble. Of course, all of us moving quietly, to avoid waking up anyone else. I pick up Stella and give her a quick whiff. Her diaper is still clean, that's good.
But she's probably hungry. Well...if I'm not facing the other two, it should be to much of a problem...right? Eh, whatever. I pull down my shirt and start to feed her, ignoring the surprised and embarrassed gasps and other noises behind me. As she finishes, I hand her over to Eraser who cradles the baby with surprising ease.
"...earlier...you said you were...pregnant?" Eraser hands the baby to Marvul, but stays near him, monitoring him as her gently holds the baby within his grasp. Shifting his eyes between Me and Eraser.
"Did I miss something?" Marvul asks slowly.
"Nah, nothing much, anyway." Eraser doesn't break eye contact with me, prying answers from me with his questioning stare. It takes mere milliseconds to get me to cave.
"Alright! Alright! ...I'll talk..." I wave my hands wildly in the air in submission.
"Okay, I only found out literally right before meet you guys, so I'm what you want me to tell you." I stretch while watching them interact with Stella. Unlike the other two, their not trying to make her laugh, their holding her close and making sure she's comfortable. Their so gentle with her, much like her...father's usually hold her. They'd be good parents...what am I saying?!
Keep it together, you don't need more lovers.
"When will the next one be here?" This question came from Marvul.
"Not sure, I know monsters don't take as long as humans, but I don't know if that will counter the normal incubation period." I'll have to ask the guys later, I'm sure they know more about this kind of thing than I do. Oh! It's nearly 7, we better get down stars before someone devours all that food.
"We might want to get down stars...the boys will be up at any moment, so..." I reach for the baby, but Marvul dodges me. I'm about to scold him...or punch him, whatever works, when he lays Stella back in her crib. Both me and Eraser stand there in shock as Marvul tends to the baby, I never knew he could be so gentle. He turns back around.
"What?! We've got some people to feed, let's go!" He shoves through the two of us, failing to hide the slowly blooming blush on his face. leaving the room completely, he heads down stairs.
"Should we follow him?" I ask Eraser, looking up at him. He shrugs.
"I don't see why not, besides, it will be fun to watch him...'apoligize'." Eraser chuckles to himself, following Marvuls foot steps out the door and back to the kitchen. Why do I have a bad feeling about this? Wish us good luck Stella. With a sigh, I trudge out of the room behind the two monsters, shutting the door behind me.
