"Hehe no spkashing daddy, as he just got cleaned up after coming back from a mission and proud, that you behaved for Mama Bula which dada appreciates." Rocjet told the kits as right now, he was giving them a bath as it was part of their calming-down routine before bedtime, including bottles as Nebula had been downstairs cleaning up toys the toddler raccoons had been , seeing RJ pointing to his paw whichbhad a bandage on it.

"Dada owie." he said to him which melted Rocket's heart at this, as he and Nebula were teaching them that hurts happened even when playing but he knew they got curious when he got back from missions which he turned into bedtime stories even though Nebula worried they might get riled up, yet the toddler-raccoons were calmed by his stories smirking seeing him drying them off.

"Somebody's havibg fun after an intense mission, from what Phylla told me." Nebula said smirking.

"Yeah I missed our sweeties, so giving them some time, but hope they weren'tva handful." Rocket said hearing giggling from his room seeing the kits jumping on the bed making him and Nebula exchange a worried look in case somebody got hurt hearing them giggling.

"Daddy's bed ain'tva trampoline we sleep and snuggle on it, please sit down as daddy doesn't want anybody hurt." he told them, trying to conceal the worried tone in his voice making Nebula understand as they listened.

"Thank you for using yohr listening ears, as that is a good thing." he told them getting onto the huge bed with them, which made Nebula grin leaving them be so Rocket could calm them down with stories even though she did want to join them on the bed but sensed a calming aura hearing soft laughter seeing Lylla there, astounding her she knew she visited Rocket and the kits.

Nebula, thank you for looking out for Rocket and the kits knowihg that you wanna sleep with them on the big bed but something stops you, why is that as you can be honest with me.

"I feel that if I do, it'll make him forget you, he loves you still and talks about you always you know." Nebula revealed making her understand hugging her leg in reassurance

Ohhhh Nebula that's okay with me, all I want is for my boy to be happy knowing the kits also make him happy as I know you make him laugh and took care of him during the Blip.

"Okay then and guess it's okay if I have your blessing." she told her seeing Lylla leaving going back upstairs hearing yawning seeing Rocket lying down on the huge bed with their kits resting their furry lil heads on his stmach sharing their gentle, innocent energy with him as Nebula came into the room impressing him seeing her getting on the bed snuggling beside him.

"What made you change your mind, Nebs." Rocket asked softly

"Lylla, she gave me her blessing." Nebula whispered to him.

"Thanks Lylla." Rocket said softly falling asleep.

"Maybe we should put the kits in daycare, you know as they're the perfect age for it and we're about helping them grow, but no pressure Rocket, only when you're ready or the kits are." Rocket heard Nebula say the next morning while they and the kits were having breakfast and Rocket was wiping the kits's chins as they'd gotten messy eating pancakes with their paws so was cleaning them up sighing knowing Nebula might be right, but would take his time involving the kits and school.

"Yeah, I'll think about it, but know the baby Flerkens are coming forca playdate." he told her seeing the kits excited about this making Nebula excited about this, so guessed maybe they'd be in daycare too, so Rocket would ask Carol when she and Chewie showed up with the baby Flerkens going upstairs to get ready for this like clean diapers and shirts which Nebula fouhd adorable hearing Rocket going over grouhd rules for the playdate, knowing they had their listening ears on relieving which was a good thing making snacks for them and the baby Flerkens

"Good thinking, as the kits and Flerken kits will need them, while playing." she told him.
