"Daddy, how're you feeling since you started taking meds." RJ asked the next morning as his dad was tending to his infant sibs as he and his das had just woken up, plus Rocket was drinkijg coffee to wake up plus RJ would be startingvat Knowhere Elementary which had been Nebula's suggestion and he'd filled in the transfer paperwork so was making the male-kit hot milk as the kit couldn't have coffee yet putting on the TV somRJ could watch his shows, kissing his furry lil head making him tiredky smile saying he could help with his sibs making Rocket tiredly grin at his sweetness, noticing his dad was trying to be brave whichhe got.
"Naw buddy I don't mind you helping, but you're a kit, Mama Bula and me are the parents, it's our job to take care of you." he told him yawning sitting on the couch beside him, resting his eyes but asleep as RJ snuggled in close to him along with the other kits as Nebula walked in smiling seeing this, knowing both her boys needed their test hearing her comm go off hearing the HE had tried escaping his cage again, deciding not to tell Rocket as it would just add to his stress which she didn't want to add to, afraid of what might happen takihg this intoher own hands, she was the mayor of Knowhere now.
"Don't worry I'm coming, Rockie's indisposed right now." she whispered but kissed both her furboys's heads before leaving the house annoyed the HE had tried escaping, knowing he'd go after her furboy and the kits tazihg the HE hearing him annoyed.
"It's your fault fir escaping or trying to, Rocket's going through enough without you adding to it." she growled throwing him back in the cage slamming and lockibg the door tight stomping off back to the house taking deep-breaths as she couldn't get mad at her furry loved ones entering seeing Rocket doing dishes while the kits were scampering and rolling arouhd on the floor, which was cute guessing they'd just awoken hoping RJ was alright not seeing him there guessing he was in his room
"Rockie you alright, if you want I can take over." she told him seeing him shaking his furry head.
"I got this, I gotta keep myself busy plus Carol and I set up a playdate for our sweet kits and Chewie's baby Flerkens which will be fun, RJ's tajing a nap." he replied to her seeing her relieved, knowing RJ would be starting an new school too knowing he needed to rest, catching him before he faceplanted on the floor.
"Oooh boy, things are gonna get easier." she softly sang which was relaxing him carrying him to his bed tuckibg him into his bed and kissed his furry head leaving him be checking on RJ seeing him asleep.
"Let's calm down, your daddy and big bro need to rest." she told the kits.
"Somebody feels a little better, after sleeping for a bit plus I kept the kits calm for you, but they're sleeping right now plus lunch will get RJ to wake up, he looked tired earlier snuggling with you." Nebula told Rocket later around lunchtime relieving Nebula as she cared about them and saw a sleepy RJ there which made them awww as he needed more sleep only his eyes widened seeingva branch in a bag knowing where that had came from, feeling shaky making Rocket sigh.
"You can't make a baby him, what if he becomes bad when he's bigger." RJ said hugging himself
"That won't happen, we kicked that bad guy's tail who did that to uncle Groit, everybody deserves a second chance." Rocket told him seeing Nebula agreeing with this as she reassured him it would be okay.
