Chiro and Gibson watched the kids as they played.

Gibson watched as he sat and worked on something on his device while Chiro kept an eye on them standing up. He felt it was better to stand in case they pulled him into playing with them, which happened to be the case a majority of the time. That was if Diamond, Magma, or Jasper didn't cause any trouble anyways.

Emerald walked up to Gibson and reached for him. Gibson lowered his device to look at her. Her hands were doing a grabby motion. Everyone knew that was her way of asking to be picked up without actually saying it. The way her tail wagged and her eyes pleaded made Chiro smile, he couldn't help it.

"Papa!" Emerald cried out.

Gibson merely chuckled.

"I'm afraid I can't really pick you up right now, I'm working on something important," Gibson then patted next to him, "but you can sit next to me."

She didn't waste a moment climbing onto the seat and sitting on his lap. Gibson moved his arms so she could get on without a problem. Chiro loved watching little moments like this. He could watch all day if he was able to.

It was until he felt one of the kids climb up his body. He looked down to see Jasper who was climbing on him. It took him by surprise. She climbed to his shoulder within a minute. Jasper patted his arm multiple times quickly.

"Up! Up!"

Chiro took a moment to realize what she meant. Like she requested, he lifted his arm and tensed it. She went to his arm and started swinging on it. Soon afterwards, Dactyle joined in, going up to his hand without disrupting Jasper's swings, then Astral joined in by going to Chiro's head. He rested at the top, laying on him like he was a fluffy pillow.

Chiro smiled real wide and laughed. He looked at Gibson.

"Hey, Gibson, look!"

Gibson looked his way. He raised an eyebrow at the sight.

"…What are you doing?"

"I'm a monkey tower!" Chiro enthusiastically replied like an excited child.

"A monkey tower." Gibson sounded unimpressed. "If any of them get hurt, don't cry to me about how you thought it was safe for them to climb on you like a cat tower."

"Oh come on, you can't tell me this isn't cool!" Chiro turned around and flexed both his arms. "Or are you jealous you can't do this?"

Gibson sighed. "Absolutely not."

Chiro chuckled. Dactyle jumped from one arm to the other. He nearly slipped off but he caught himself. That had Chiro nervous for a moment, that he wouldn't lie. Hermo climbed up to his hand and rested his face into his palm. His tail wrapped around Chiro's arm. Chiro felt his heart melt just looking at it.

How did he not think of doing this before?

While Chiro was having fun with them, Gibson took a picture and sent it to the others. It didn't take long for them to answer.

"Aww! That's cute!"

"Glad they're having fun."

"I gotta try that myself sometime! That looks like fun!"

"Can't blame them, his muscles are fun to touch ;)"

Otto then sent a picture with Nova smacking Sprx with her tail. Gibson snorted at the sight. Emerald looked up at him. He ruffled her hair a little.

"Don't worry about it, dear." Gibson said.

He looked back at Chiro. Chiro played around, making it seem like his arms were giving out before shooting them upwards without them falling off. The kids were laughing and smiling. The kids who weren't on him or next to Gibson stared in awe, like they were wondering if they should join in.

Chiro looked at Gibson and smiled. He could see that small smirk on his face. Whether he wanted to admit it or not, he was happy they were having fun doing that and Chiro could tell.

When they had Kaminari, Chiro did the same thing with her for a couple years.
