"It's the eigth night of Hannukah and s9mebody's crankulah" Herbert whispered to Rocket Senior.
"I know, I know but I'll sleep soon… no stay awake as once Hannukah's over tonight then you can hibernate." Rocket Senior replied yawning drinking coffee which bothered Herbert, Nebula and Rocket understanding why he was keeping him awake but noticed he was zoning out seeing RJ poje his grandpa's furry arm with his fork making Nebula smirk, at his mischief waking his grandpa up making Herbert make up his mind, Rocket Senior needed his sleep no matter what.
"Come on my marshmallow, let's go to bed, you're exhausted and cranky nothing's going on right now." Herbert told Rocket Senior seeing him sighing but felt Nebula and Rocket hug him saying he'd made it through most of the holiday which made the chunky, elder raccoon-male feel better following Herbert into his downstairs room seeing him fluffing up his pillows and making Rocket Senior's bed into one comfy den so he could hibernate well seeing the fluffy male getting in, yawning making Herbert remember when putting Rocket to bed, when he was lil which made him smile at that thought.
He was then telling his big, furry marshmallow stories which was relaxing him noticing he was getting sleepy kissing his furry forehead seeing him out like a light leaving his room closing the door softly joining Nebula and Rocket in the kitchen sighing, telling them that Papa Marshmallow had went into hibernation-mode making them relieved because the last few days, Rocket Senior had been cranky along with drinking coffee to stay up so Rocket was curious about how he'd did it, when he and the others hadn't been able to convince him to sleep making Herbert grin.
"I made his bed comfy for him and told him some stories about you growing up but you know the reason why you don't hibernate is because of the cybernetics but once you getvas old as he does you'll start hibernating." Herbert told him impressing Nebula hearing that, imagining that smirking makijg RJ look confused asking her what was so funny.
"Ohhhh nothing bubbelah, let's go have fun." she told him as they went to join the others.
The next morning, the family were up late because they'd been enjoying the eighth night of Hannukah, but Rocket was making breakfast for them, along with coffee for him, Herbert and Nebula but hot cocoa for RJ while making his famohs Groot Morning pancakes which Herbert and Nebula could smell coming into the kitchen sitting at the table.
"Groot Morning, and still recovering from the fun of last night, eh." Rocket heard Herbert ask.
"Yep, but is Poppa Marshmallow still hibernating, dad." Rocket replied to him sipping coffee.
"Yes Rocket he's still hibernating, but adorable sounding when I checked on him after waking up." Herbert replied to him making Rocket and RJ grin at that but saw Nebula drinking coffee too, knowing that RJ might need an nap later which Rocket agreed with seeing RJ frown, he had slept okay squirting chocolate syrup over his pancakes adding sprinkles and whipped cream amusing Herbert, because it reminded him of Rocket at that age.
"It's okay buddy, your dad was like this with naps too." he told him.
