"Wait, Uncle Ranger's now Moonpie's daddy." Luba asked Nebula and Rocket making them and her sibs surprised by her outburst. It was dinnertimeand while the kits had t9ld their parents aboht their day, Nebula and Rocket had told them aboht Moonpie getting a checkup but also that the quiet female kit had imprinted with Ranger which stunned Luba making Moonpie confused which Ranger got.
"Guys, do you remember when we talked about adoption when Grabdpa Marshmallow adopted Smore." Nebula began seeing them nodding. "Well Moonie imprinted with uncle Ranger so he adopted her, however she's still living here, and part of ohr family. She'll still be sleeping in yohr room with you, Luba." Rocket told her which made the dark-blue furred female-kit relieved eating seeing Moonpie eating up impressing them.
"Atta girl as yoy need meat on those bones." Ranger said makibg her grin stunning Luba.
After dinner, they were playing but Moonpie was playing with Lego blocks but Herbie noticed her building without using her paws stunning Rocket seeing this realising Moonpie must be a telepath of sorts impressibg Luba and their sibs majibg Ranger chuckle as he already knew this from earlier. "It's one of her powers guys right Moonie." he said seeing her nodding making Rocket think of his sis, Casey seeing Moonpie on Ranger's furry back hugging him. Ranger then explained to them how the Inhuman scientists gave her a lot of terragen mist but she'd foubd her way to the surface of the moon where Rocket had found her. "It's okay Moonie, as I think you're awesome and love you." Ranger told her using paw talk impressing Rocket that he knew how to still do that.
"I do Tocket, and she seems to respind to it." Ranger told him seeing Moonpie on his back. "Come on honey, let's go get ready for bed." he said seeing her nod sensing she could read lips which impressed Rocket and Nebula along with Nebula and their kits seeing Rocket playing with Herbie and Sputnik while Luba was colouring with Elroy making Nebula relieved.
After a bit, Ranger came out with Moonpie cleaned up wearing pyjamas meaning it was now time for Elroy, Herbie, Luba and Sputnik to have their baths as the kits put things away which they'd taught them seeibg Moonpie cuddling with Ranger which Nebula found adorable as he was getting used to being a dad even though he'd been anxious about this.
"It's been actually fun, Nebs and Moonpie loves me." he told her seeing her nodding.
"That's how I felt, when Rocket and I became parents and at first, we were anxious but after kinda figuring things out, we got used to being parents." Nebula told him.
"Yeah but thanks Nebula as I didn't have a good start in life so was wondering how I could be a dad myself. If Rocket can domit, I guess Incan." he said seeing Moonpie nodding as she loved him.
"Mmmmm, coffee is pretty good this morning, and we're getting some peace and quiet before ohr lil ones wake up." Rocket told Nebula seeing her agreeing. "Rocket we love them but understand what you mean." Nebula said smirking. It was the next morning at their den and the kits were still asleep which meant they could have some peace and quiet seeing Moonpie hover in waving hi. "Good morning kiddo and guess the others aren't up yet huh." Rocket said to her seeing her watching his lips so she could understand what her family was saying seeing Ranger there relieved seeing Moonpie hug hij making him chuckle
"Good Morning honey, and see your cousibs aren't up yet, despite it being almost the weekend." he said seeing Nebula nodding seeing her and Rocket's kits up and dressed sensing it was one of those mornings which Rocket understood knowing sometimes, they weren't morning raccoons either but he and Nebula used coffee to get them out of that mood only their kits were too lil to have coffee seeing them eating toast and drinking juice seeing Moonpie eating happiky only Elroy wondered why she couldn't go to school with them.
"It's complicated buddy but when she's ready, she'll go." Rocket told them as they put their stuff in the sink before getting their backpacks abs leaving the house with Nebula and Rocket but Ranger was staying to look after the house and was hanging oht with Moonpie. He knew this was a good thing seeing Moonpie quiet guessing she missed her cousins so was distracting her making Rocket cover his mouth so Ranger wouldn't notice he was there.
"Rocket, I know hou're there, abd doing this to keep her calm, you know." Ranger said surprising him.
