"Mama, Mama, Dada." Darcy heard Linda say making her and Howard wide-eyed.
"Linda sweetie, did you just talk honey. Because if you did, we're so happy." Darcy said.
"Mama, Dada, Quacker." Linda said making Darcy and Howard excited, their lil birdie was talking.
"Awwww we knew you could. Shocket's gonna be surprised when she hears." Howard her feathered head making Darcy smirk, recording this. It was just a typical night in the Duck apartment and Linda had been swimming in the tub, one of her favourite things to do besides being with her parents and playing with Shocket until she'd started talking which made her parents proud hugging her.
"Howard, no teaching her bad words, and we should tell Rocket this, when we get over to their house." Darcy said to her husband making Howard blush. "Alright, I'm not gonna teach our sweet lil birdie bad words." Howard told her helping dry Linda off seeing her hug him.
"Come on honey let's get ready for bed. Mommy and I need rest too." Howard said.
Linda nodded as she was in pyjamas and a clean pair of pull ups since they would start potty training her when it was right for Linda not them giving her a cup of milk with a straw as they were weaning her off bottles and at first, Darcy had been anxious about this until Rocket had told her and Howard how they'd did it with Emily and Shocket making it like they were drinking mocktails and had put tiny umbrellas on the straws to add to it.
"Atta girl, drink up as you need it to grow big and strong." Darcy told Linda making her giggle.
"At least her powers haven't done anything crazy today." Howard whispered to Darcy.
"Well, she sleep-hovered above her bed, Howard." Darcy whispered to him. They heard Linda yawning meaning she was ready to go to bed so following her parents to her room. She was climbing in, cuddling her raccoon stuffie which reminded her of Shocket as her parents were telling her a story which was calming her down into sleep kissing her goodnight before leaving her room.
"Let's hope she sleeps through the night, Howard." Darcy told him.
"She will, as she was swimming in the tub." Howard told her.
"She's still sleeping, which is good and she's glowing. Oh geez…" Howard said as he was up. It was the next morning and he was letting Darcy sleep in plus was checking on Linda in her room stunned she was still sleeping hearing his phone buzz as it was a message from hisparents saying they were sending Linda gifts and proud of him for getting married and becoming a father making him sigh knowing they were surprised he'd married a human happy their grand-daughter was a duck like them making Howard scowl replying sitting on the couch in the living room havibg the TV on low so it wouldn't wake Darcy or Linda.
"At least they accept Linda and she's not even from Duckworld, even though Darcy's curious about them." he muttered.
After a bit and some coffee, Darcy and Linda were up, only Darcy noticed her husband was a lil sad until he told her making her get it hugging him. "Ohhhh honey what matters what they think. matters is Linda and me." Darcy told him.
"Yeah I know, honey." Howard said seeing Linda hug him. "Dada better." Linda asked making Howard smile.
"Yeah my lil slugger I think so thanks to you and mommy." he told her. They were then entering the kitchen to have breakfast, only Howard thought eggs should be off the menu making pop tarts which Linda was excited about even though she didn't know what they were, being new to the world along with still figuring oht how to be a lifeform, a life form with powers as Howard saw the pop tarts levitated onto plates amusing Howard at Linda's powers knowing these things would happen more and more as she grew up.
