"Woah, did you j-just say you're my dad, my actual dad." Rocket said surprised lookijg at the older, chunky, fluffy looking male-raccoon in front of him seeing him nodding, knowing his search was finally over.

It was late-night into early morning in their house on Knowhere and Nebula and Rocket had been sleeping soundly including their kits until hearing sounds had woken Rocket up thinking it was an intruder had gotten up and had his blaster just in case but had dropped it seeing the elder armoured male raccoon seeing a smirk on his face at his kit's reaction seeing Nebula there, surprised hearing Rocket explaining as she got the DNA kit but their eyes widened realising this guy spoje the truth seeing tears in her furboy's eyes hugging his long lost dad tight enjoying it, which Rocket Senior understood as this was a big deal so was letting him process this.

"Ssshhhh it's okay buddy, after your so-called mom kicked you out, I started looking for you but now I've foubd you and see you have grown up well, and have a soulmate, but kits." Rocket Senior said hearing the baby-raccoons up seeing Nebula going to calm them making Rocket chuckle explaining, impressing his dad hugging him saying he was proud of hij making Rocket's furry cheeks go pink asking him, what he was doing here or planning to do here hearing he just wanted to be a part of his life astounding him and exciting him.

"Of course you can stay, you're family after all." he told him as they were heading to the kitchen as Rocket Senior was making tea impressing Rocket and Nebula, guessing he'd been across the Galaxy hearing something vibrate as Rocket Senior pulled out something that looked like a brick phone from the nineties astounding Rocket seeing him texting, unaware he was texting Shocket putting it away astounding Nebula and Rocket, seeingva grin on the elder raccoon-male's face guessing they'd never seen tech like that making him chuckle softly which made Rocket grin, his dad's laugh was warm and deep.

"I know it's not a phone or a comm phone but it gets the job done, I gave one to Shocket, in case she needed my advice, as I made her the new Rocket when that lil Mocket brat showed up trying to ruin things for Schism and my grand-kit." he told him astounding Rocket as he listened to the story, even though he knew this, when he'd visited Shocket for Halloween hoping her and Itsy's mission was going well.

"Maybe you should rest, as you must've came a lomg way, sir." Nebula told Rocket Senior hearing him yawn seeing him lie down on the couch seeing Nebula grab one of the blankets that she'd knitted and wrapped it arouhd his body hearing him sighing in calmness, putting a pillow gently under Rocket Senior's furry head hearing gentle snores as she and Rocket kissed his furry head.

"We should get back to bed, but this is a good thing for us, especially you." Nebula said softly to him as they went upstairs going back to their room, climbing back into bed falling asleep despite sunrise happening right now and the baby-raccoons snuck in to snuggle with them, like every morning sighing but letting them be, unaware RJ was awake but had discovered Rocket Senior on the couch but curious instead of frightened as his dad was helping him with his social skills lying on the floor watching Go-Bots on TV which he always did while waiting for his folks to wake up along with his sibs getting excited hearing his dad's giggling from upstairs sighing, knowing his sibs were having fun, getting to cuddle with his dad ignoring it, focusing on his show which helped him forget that bad feeling, of being left out of the cuddle-time.

"RJ, Groot Morning, I can explain about the guy on the couch, that's yohr grandpa." Nebula said.

"Whoa, really he's related to daddy, does daddy know, does he have to meet my sibs." RJ asked excited.

Nebula giggled at this, explaining to him that it had been a big surprise for her and Rocket earlier that morning and that he was still sleeping which RJ understood and was following her into the kitchen, sitting at the table on his booster seat but sighed seeing his dad enter with the baby-raccoons on him which Nebula found amusing when this happened every morning as she helped them into their high chairs seeing RJ frowning, as they were eating messily but his dad and Nebula giggled cleaning them up but Rocket Senior noticed RJ was annoyed finishing, putting his dishes in the sink but going to get dressed for pre-school so was drinking coffee, to wake himself up after sleeping so much, wanting to freshen up which made Nebula and Rocket nervous, going upstairs hoping that he wouldn't fall in the bath.

"I'm not going to fall, I had a bath in the Milano and never fell, don't worry." Rocket Senior reassured them.

"Just in case, we'll put the non-slip mat in the tub and the mat on the floor." Rocket told him.

"Okay, I know you gugs are being caring, which I appreciate." Rocket Senior replied to them.

"We'll leave youto freshen up." Nebula told him as they left the bathroom.

"Don't fall, don't fall." Rocketsoftly mumured getting towels seeing RJ dressed and ready for school, wondering what was going on hearing Nebula explain his grandpa was taking a bath, to freshen up after getting up from sleep and she and his dad were worried he might slip which the male-kit understood as they used the non-slip mats for when he or his sibs had baths hearing him done getting out, with a towel around his big furry body with his tail sticking out which they fouhd adorable but handed him a shirt hearing him thanking them.

"Naw your family plus you just have your armour." Rocket told him hugging him., seeing him playing with the baby-raccoons blowing on their furry lil bellies gently, hearing them giggling as he was playing on the floor with them lying on his big, furry belly feeling them cuddle around him, like they did with Rocket impressing him and Nebula at how good he was with kits.

"Yeah, I used to do this with you after Roxy gave birth to you." Rocket Senior told them.

"Awww, tell me more adorable baby him stuff." Nebula said seeing Rocket Senior chuckle at Rocket's facial expression but would tell her later, and had holo photos of baby Rocket seeing Nebula's eyes widen at how adorable her fiancé looked as a baby seeing Rocket surprised by the photos and frowned seeing Roxy in sone which his dad understood.

"That's his birth-mom, my ex-wife, the one who kicked my sweet boy out of the tree into the snow." Rocket Senior told her making Nebula understanding as she had grown up with Thanos for a father so understood this stroking behind Rocket's furry ear making him relax hoping RJ was having a good day at pre-school even though the teacher was retiring getting an idea as his dad had been really good with the baby-raccoons so guessed he'd be great at teaching RJ's class.


"How was school today, RJ" Nebula asked RJ as he, his dad and Nebula alomg with Rocket Senior and the baby-raccoons were sitting around the table at dinner time as they were eating meatballs but RJ was wearing an napkin as he knew kt helped making Rocket Senior grin, hearing the male-kit saying it was his teacher's last day of teaching.

"I have an idea, as your grandpa is really good with kits." Rocket told him, making RJ excited at his dad's suggestion as it was summer break plus Nebula and Rocket had set up a room for Rocket Senior so he'd feel at home and part of the family which they hadn't told him yet seeing RJ excited they were having ice-cream for dessert making Rocket Senior chuckle, eating some himself making Nebula and Rocket grin at how cute this was.

"Well, I haven't had ice-cream in a while." he told them surprising RJ by this.

"How lomg have you been alive, Grandpa." heasked surprising Rocket hearing his dad laugh.

"A lomg, lomg time buddy, trust me." he replied to him relieved them making Nebula and Rocket exchange a look guessing Rocket Senior needed a chedk up seeing Rocket agreeing seeing his dadeating another bowl of ice-cream which was cute.

Later that night, Rocket Senior was surprised that Nebula and Rocket had made him a room of his own making Rocket grin as he and Nebula was tucking him in but kissing his furry head saying the hall light wason, in case he needed to pee seeing him smile yawning as they left him be.

"You think he's gonna be okay, you know." Nebula asked Rocket while they were in bed.

"He'll be okay Nebs trust me." Rocket told her kissing her goodnight.
