Hey everyone long time no see! I apologize for not having this up last week, we had a wave of winter storm pass through so of course everyone was scrambling to prepare for that leaving me tired upon coming home from work. Either way hope you enjoy this chapter!
After having their lunch, the babies all were taken back to the living room to prepare for their afternoon nap. Samayah was already asleep in Ebony's arms as Ebony sat on the couch nearby, slowly rocking the newborn while humming. The babies were gathered in a napping circle with their pillows and blankets as one by one they all slowly fell asleep until it was only Savannah and Dil left awake. Letting out a yawn, Savannah turned over to look at Dil.
"Oh yeah, you still didn't get to shows Mayah something yet, Dil." Savannah reminded
"I still don't really knows what to show her." Dil sighed
"Hmm...well since everyone else showed her stuffs in the house then maybe you can show her all the stuffs to do to be a good baby baby?" Savannah suggested
"I don't know...I wasn't a good baby baby even Tommy said sos." Dil shrugged
"So? You're a big baby nows and you're betterer. Asides you can show her the betterer way to do things instead of the things you did as a baby baby." Savannah replied
"Yeah..I guess you're right. Thanks Savannah." Dil smiled, thankful of the reassurance from his friend
"Aw it was nothing." Savannah said before letting out another yawn. "I think we should takes our nappy now." Savannah suggested following with Dil, who nodded in agreement, as the two finally rested their heads as both slowly drifted asleep to take their nap.
A little while later, everyone had woken up from their naps as Samayah was placed into her chair in the playpen again.
"Okay now Dil can show Samayah stuffs." Savannah said getting up onto her feet
Dil, still a little hesitant, let out a sigh as he also got up as he went over next to Savannah
"Okay Mayah I guess I'm going to show you how to be a good baby baby. Um...Oh I gots it!" Dil said, thinking for a moment before spying Savannah's rattle lying on the floor. "Okay, Mayah, pretends I'm playing with your rattle and you wants it back. If you want the rattle you have to say peas first." Dil explained holding out the rattle to let Samayah see it
"Attle!" Samayah squealed, reaching out for it
"You have to say peas first, Mayah." Savannah replied
Samayah just tilted her head, slightly confused about the situation as she frowned, babbling while continuing to reach for the rattle. After a few moments of trying to grab the rattle from Dil, Samayah just frowned as she picked up the nearest thing she could reach which happened to be a block as she tossed it at Dil's head
"My attle! Mine!" Samayah yelled angrily
"Ow!" Dil cried out in pain as he rubbed where the block had hit his forehead
Samayah, however, wasn't finished as she went into a full blown tantrum grabbing anything around her that she could reach and tossing them at the group.
"Just give her the rattle you guys!" Chuckie said, peeking out from behind the toy box where he had run to take cover from the assortment of toys flying across the playpen
Hesitant, Dil gave in, handing the newborn back the rattle, instantly stopping the tantrum from the infant. Samayah just cooed happily as she shook the rattle.
"Well that didn't work." Lil commented
"Yeah, face it Savannah, your sister is gonna be a bad baby baby just like Dil was." Phil butted in.
Savannah just frowned while Dil kind of slumped in response.
"She's not bad! She's just a baby that doesn't know any betterer!" Savannah stamped her foot
"Yeah huh!" Phil retorted
"Nuh uh!" Savannah replied
While Phil and Savannah argued back and forth, Dil went over to his brother, now feeling the resentment for what he had done back when he was only a few months old (or what he could remember at least).
"Hey Tommy, I'm sorry that I was such a bad baby baby that hit you and stuffs and for all the times I tookeded your bottes and brokeded your toys cause I didn't want to share them with yous." Dil began apologizing, rambling on about the various things he had done to his brother and his friends.
"Dil..." Tommy tried to cut in, only for Dil to keep rambling on
"Dil!" Tommy exclaimed, finally getting his brother to pay attention, "It's okays, I know you're sorry asides you don't really do that stuffs no more, well except that time you brokeded my Reptar dolly but I kinda brokeded your Goober firstest." Tommy reassured his brother
"Really, you means it?" Dil asked
"Uh huh, even when you cried lots you still did better than when we got losteded in the forest." Tommy nodded
"Oh yeah I member that...well kind of." Dil said, recalling what he remembered of the events not long after his birth. That's when it clicked in him, there was one point where he stopped trying to take everything, stopped saying everything was his, and actually shared stuff with his brother. He didn't quite remember everything, but he did remember it being dark and rainy and his brother was going to let him stay with the monkeys that were there. He didn't want to go with them, he wanted to stay with Tommy.
"Wait, I gots an idea!" Dil suddenly shouted, stopping Phil and Savannah's arguing
"What's the idea?" Savannah asked
"Well when Tommy and I were alone in the forest, he was gonna give me away to the monkeys and go away. I didn't want Tommy to go away those so I started to be nicerer. Maybe if we leave Samayah by herself for a little bit she'll start to be a betterer baby baby and ask nicely for her toys." Dil explained
"Hmm, we could tries it." Savannah said
"Well then lets go plays in the backyard then." Tommy said, pulling out his screwdriver from his pocket, unlocking the playpen
The group then made their way outside to the backyard, leaving the newborn on her own in the playpen. After a little while had passed, Samayah had finally noticed that her sister and her friends were no longer in the playpen.
"Bannanah?" Samyah babbled, trying to look around frantically from her chair to locate her sister
Not being able to locate her sister, Samayah whimpered sadly, slumping back into her chair. Maybe they went away cause she wouldn't share her rattle? Maybe it was forever! She didn't want that, she liked her sister and the other kids too! Fussing, Samayah whimpered, throwing down her rattle as it bounced across the carpeted floor, as she began to tear up. Fortunately for her, the group was herded back in due to their parents' short trip before their arrival to pick them up.
Making their way back to the playpen, Dil noticed the newborn looking upset as he tapped Savannah's shoulder as he gestured to her younger sibling.
"We can tries again now." Dil said, picking up the rattle once he spotted it on the floor nearby
"Yeah lets dos it." Savannah nodded
Both toddlers walked over to the newborn's chair as Dil offered the rattle once again.
"Mayah, would you likes this back?" Dil asked softly
Samayah immediately perked up seeing Dil and Savannah once again as she cooed and giggled happily. Spying the rattle she reached out for it, only to stop and retract her hand remembering what happened not long ago.
"No attle..." Samayah babbled
"Come on Mayah all you have to say is peas and Dil will gives you the rattle." Savannah encouraged her younger sibling
"Attle...peas?" Samayah babbled out finally
"Yeah that's it!" Dil cheered handing the rattle over to Samayah
Samayah giggled happily, shaking the rattle once it was in her hands.
"See, she can be a good baby!" Savannah cheered
"Yeah!" Dil also cheered, happy that he found something to teach Samayah in the end of it all.
