Regarding Stuie

"Ooooohhhh," Tommy murmured as he pulled out the book off the shelf, flipping through it. He thought it might be a new picture book that his daddy could read for his nap but instead it was filled with photos. Tommy liked photos… there were a lot of them of him in the house… but these were of a baby he didn't recognize. He frowned, tilting his head, touching the photo of the purple haired baby then rubbing his own head.

"Did I have hair and forgets about it?" he asked himself.

"Hey champ!" Stu said, walking over and lifting him up. "What did you get into… oh! Hey! This is the old photo album!" He carried Tommy over to his chair; he'd just got done installing the Quack-O-matic (and nearly gotten bonked in the head which served him right for trying to put it up on the roof without someone helping him!) and was ready for a break. Opening the album back up he smiled as Tommy pointed at a photo and then himself. "No, that isn't you. That's me!"

"Huh?" Tommy gasped.

"Yup! That's me when I was your age!"

Tommy stared at the photo, yawning. His daddy had been a baby once? He wondered what he was like…

"Hey!" Tommy called out, toddling through the living room when he spotted a new baby sitting there. He was about Tommy's height and was wearing just a diaper and a shirt like Tommy but his was gray and he had thick purple hair, unlike Tommy who was bald. "Hi! I'm Tommy! Who are you?"

"I'm Stuie!" the other baby said.

"That's my daddy's name!"

Stuie giggled. "I'm gonna be your daddy when I grow up."

"Really!?" Tommy asked, amazed.

"Uh huh. But now I'm a baby… wanna play?"

"Sure Stuie!" Tommy said and the two giggled, running off to find toys to play with. Tommy was delighted… Stuie was so much fun to play with, just like playing with daddy! And Stuie promised that when they got done he'd go back to being daddy so it was like having a friend AND a daddy at the same time! "This is Reptar! He's my favor toy ever!"

"Neat!" Stuie said, grabbing a teddy bear and wiggling its legs. "I like playing with you Tommy!"

"I like playing with you, Stuie! You're almost as fun as playing with my daddy! I wish you could meet him… he's the best daddy ever!"

"Why's that?"

"Well… he makes me toys just for me and tucks me in at night and reads me stories…" Tommy hugged Reptar. "I love my daddy!"

"Really?" Stuie said… before spinning around, becoming bigger and bigger until-

"DADDY!" Tommy exclaimed, hugging him.

Stu looked down at Tommy, curled in his lap, murmuring to himself in his sleep. "Wonder what you're dreaming about…" Stu said with a smile, rubbing Tommy's back, causing the baby to gurgle and smile in his sleep. "Bet you are having fun with a friend…"
