Part II

August 29th, 2024

Caro woke up crying and Liu was the first to notice. I was groggy, but I'd managed to make breakfast, ie a bottle of milk for Caro and heating up his puree meal, while we had tea and coffee respectively and I'd a choc muffin with Liu's bagel. After he was fed, Caro was a happy camper playing with his fellow dragons on the playmat. Liu actually bought him a playpen, but since it was big, it had to be put in the living room; it's actually close to his potty.

Caro cuddled and cooed with us while he was playing with his friends, and Liu wanted to postpone his vet appointment for him till tomorrow. When it was close to 1:30, he got fussy and hungry again; he had another pureed meal and went, then he played jovially once more.

By 4:38, Liu suggested to give Caro his first ever bath; I was skeptical since he may not like it and be feisty like a cat or dog. We got the bath ready, and I washed him with the soapy sponge. Thankfully, Caro actually liked his warm bath, and it was a lil tricky on the face avoiding the eyes. Fortunately, he understood to keep his eyes closed as I washed his face then rinsed and repeated. Liu soon dried him off with a towel after a few minutes playing with his new bath toys. It was time for dinner and Caro ate in his highchair for the first time.

I actually had an idea on pureeing our food, as we wished someday Caro'd grow his fangs so he can eat rice, albeit in a different form; I suggested to get a puree machine which almost works the same as a blender. Although it'd be a bit expensive, and my work often uses one. Finally, dinner was over, and Liu had a surprise for Caro, several large soft blocks in which I played a game on rebuilding them and have the dragon knock them down! Then he kept hiding himself and emerging from the pile, it was so adorable! Then, I made a castle for him and his dragons, and Liu made up a new game, on how Caro'd be kissed! He kept him away until he accidentally lowered him, then I kissed him and gave him a few raspberries; he was full of life! Then I held and rocked him to try and relieve the overstimulation.

Liu praised him for being a good boy, and before he went to bed, I actually shown him an early song I'd known, Puff the Magic Dragon. He liked it, and 2I thought it was a good lullaby before he went to sleep around 10pm. Liu planned to take Caro to the vet tomorrow while I'm at work; I hope it won't be too anxious and scary for him.

Caro woke up and I'd decided to give him his food before making our breakfast and he'd make a fuss. Liu fed him on the highchair, and he loved it. I played with his dragons for a while after breakfast, but he appeared very sad, anxious on me leaving for work. He even started to cry, and I promised that Liu'd take good care of him; I handed over his dragon plushie and even my heart gem. He cried more with his arms up, then I used my cardiokinesis which made the gem ignite, I was hoping it'd emit endorphins to calm him. It soon did, and upon Liu remembering me, he actually saw me thru the gem, from me smiling, to going on dates, to having our wedding and honeymoon, to playing with Caro. He began to feel a lil better before she left at 11...

By 7, I was home again, and Caro was excited, as was Liu who was affectionate. He had the usual puree before we played although he wouldn't stop licking and nuzzling me, and even letting out some cute coos.

Liu said he took him out to the vet with Caro in his stroller holding a dragon plush and a heart gem. The doc said he was very healthy although he should eat more veggies and would be able to walk more soon. He didn't feel the shot, not even any side effects nor after pain; I guess dragons have tough skin to not feel needles and have excellent immune systems. Liu even said he'd noticed Caro grew a little, but he hasn't changed much.

Sure enough, he was improving on walking and his parents adored his cute sounds as he played with his dragons. I demonstrated on how he can fly as I rose a plushie and flapped his wings which made him excited and curious, even shaking his tail. Then he got sleepy, and we wished him goodnight and love him very much.

Caro woke up groggy but hungry, Liu fed him as I too was drowsy. I was still able to make breakfast, though. He figured he might find a park with dragons playing for Caro; I was still surprised there was a vet from Earthrealm specializing in dragons, at least baby ones. The little dragon was very affectionate to his parents, just as lovable as his father. But he still looked sad that I'd to leave for work and I suggested Liu should take him out and introduce him to Geras and the Shaolin; Liu said he gave the Time Keeper a photo and adored the pet dragon.

By the time I got back from work, Liu and Caro were excited to see me! To show my love, Liu recommended me to give Caro some red kisses; I applied some lipstick, and I was surprised a baby dragon can already tolerate makeup! I gave him a mark on his head and soon another one, he wouldn't stop licking and nuzzling us. Heck, he even blushes the same way as Liu does; I complimented he's as affectionate as his dad. While we were playing with him, I suggested that maybe tomorrow night we can watch something dedicated to dragons, ie a show or film; I reiterated tomorrow night since Liu thought to go on while I'm at work. I hoped Caro'd learn something about it and see more of his own kind despite being fantastical rather than being based in Earthrealm.

Then...I suddenly felt emotional, happy to be with my two loves, but also anxious and a bit upset if I should lose them... Liu and Caro are the only loves I have... We held each other, even Caro snuggled into us.

What I didn't know was he already had a pacifier and pjs! Very cute!

Not much has happened, just the usual breakfast, the playing, Caro's dread on me heading to work & Liu looking after him until I came back around 7pm, then having dinner, playing again, and Liu putting him to bed with his pacifier. Although he was as affectionate as ever, even when he knew how to blush, just like his father. I adored his purring, sticking out his tongue, cooing and nuzzling his parents. I still tried to teach him how to move his wings to fly and he was curious, and I figured he'd need to breathe fire to help him land and relieve the gas as it'd lift the dragon... It might be different this time around, but I retained that info from the film, the Flight of Dragons. Also, during dinner, I'd noticed the sky was pink and blue with those gorgeous clouds; even Caro seemed to love them so beautiful. He and I were disappointed when it got dark, and the colors dissipated. I can't wait for him to fly thru them!
