"You brought Lylla home with you, is this a good idea." Jupiter asked.
"Yep, it'll be good for Rocket to have a pal to hang arouhd with, while she recovers." Herbert replied grinhed seeing Rocket excitedly grinning at this because he and Lylla were becoming friends seeing a sleepy Lylla begin to stir groggily from sleeping, a while after the vet had given her meds which Rocket had watched.
"Wherecam I, Rockie." she asked groggy makijg Rocket understand, explaining that she was at their apartment noticing his mom who looked like him and her dad who was the King of Wondergore makijg him grin making her furry cheeks go pink at him like at the vet's.
"Don't worry Lyllie, you're safe here, my mommy and daddy are gery nice, trust me." he told her seeing her relax at this and held his paw surprising Jupiter and Herbert at this, knowing this was a good thing giving them snacks and juice which were delicious hearing happy noises from both toddlers, impressing Jupiter and Herbert seeing Rocket helping Lylla by giving her juice because it hurt her to reach for her cup, which Herbert found sweet that he was helping her.
"Atta boy, helping her out because she's struggling because she's still recovering from her cybernetic surgery, you kno what that's like." he told Rocket ruffling his furry head hearing him giggle noticing Lylla smiling which was good knowing she'd have to sleep on the couch but would explain to Rocket at bedtime.
"I think just being around you is makijg her happy." Herbert told him seeing an expression of curiousity on his furry face like he was asking how he was helping Lylla besides her takingmeds and having to rest, trying to find a way to explain in a way he could understand explaining that like him, Lylla didn't have many friends but now she was with him, it was helping her feel better making Rocket smile at his dad's words seeing Jupiter agreeing with Herbert because Rocket didn't have any friends but hadn't started daycare or school yet, only he wasn't walking or talking yer.
"I'm a good helper then, like daddy said." he thought hopingLylla could stay with them, after she recovered seeing the female-otter sleeping lookig gery cute making his brown-furred cheeks go pink making Herbert chuckle guessing he had feelings for her besides them being young which Herbert found sweet, so would let Lylla stay after she recovered, plus it was almost dinnertime making Rocket wonder, if Lylla was eating withher.
"Maybe honey, as you guys are cute together like Herbie and me." she told him.
"Yeah we're awesome and we're this many." Rocket thought grinning to himself with pride ashe was loving being around Lylla but wanted to protect her no matter what getting excited making Herbert grin, at his son being cute and hoped he might talk sooner or later stunning Rocket at this and Lylla noticed a quiet expression on his furry face, at this.
"Why does daddy and mommy want these thijgs to happen so much." he thought sighing.
"Don't worry about it, just take your tije, you'll get there." Lylla reassured him.
"Thanks toots." he replied making her giggle as Herbert was curious, wondering what was so funny that it made the female-otter laugh hearing from Herbert that Rocket had made her laugh.
That night, in his room Rocket was lying awake in his crib thinking about Lylla wondering if she was sleeping on the couch but was feeling sleepy zoning-out into sleep just as Herbert came in to check on him, kissing his furry head knowing he was concerned for Lylla assuring him that she was okay leaving his room joining Jupiter in their bed assuring her Rocket was sleeping hearing Lylla whimpering, going to check her out seeing her awake.
"Ssshhhh, it's alright sweetie plus your boy's sleeping which he needs his sleep to grow." he told her giving her meds along with juice relieving her that her boy was okay, but that next morning, Rocket surprised them by walking making Herbert proud of him surprising Jupiter.
"I knew you could do it, you just needed to take your time." Herbert said
