“Noel…Noel?”

Noel kissed my forehead which made me notice that he was okay just being silent. After a while, the smoke dispersed out of the room and into the base. Noel and I moved from our positions on the floor, cramped and in pain from the tiny glass shards that pierced our skin. I turned my head throughout the dark and noticed Marathon shaking and crying. I wanted to comfort her but I just couldn’t, I wasn’t up for it. Suddenly I was pulled down to the ground and was about to scream but I knew it was Noel because of the cologne he had on.  

“Look over there.”

He moved my head towards the right of the room. When my eyes finally caught up with my head, I noticed a small thing out in the corner. It was glowing and crying. It resembled a little baby. I moved Noel’s hand from my face before standing up. I shushed Noel when he tried to stop me because if anything, I’d rather get harmed before Noel gets harmed trying to save me. As I made slow movements towards the creature, the crying got louder. When I was close enough, the creature must’ve heard me because it turned around and stared at me. The tiny thing had a paper bag over its head that had huge circles cut out to make big eye holes. When I looked at the huge circles I noticed a set of white tears. I couldn’t see any eyes because it was so dark within the room and I’m guessing the little creature had fully black eyes or their eyes were closed. Just as I was convinced that the creature had only black eyes, I noticed slanted eyes that had sparkles in them, the eyes were slanted upwards and looked as if they had stars in them.

I stuck out my hands towards the creature before picking it up which caused the creature to hug me with its tiny body. The tiny thing gripped my shirt tightly which caused my mother's instincts to kick in. I gently hugged the creature back which caused the little thing to spark up. I panicked a bit but the sparks shot out towards the fuse box, which caused the power within our base to turn back on. That’s when I fully got a view of the little thing. Short dark blue fading to purple hair that had stars within it as a form of pattern, two shades of green skin, light and dark, a fluffy tail, long sharp bunny ears, cat-like paws for feet, and no clothes on. From that I knew the tiny thing was a girl. I turned around towards Noel who was staring at the little creature. Marathon was just as shocked as Noel as she walked on over.  I let out a small nervous chuckle before looking at the creature.

“Well I guess now we don’t have to worry about having a baby now…hehe…”

Noel walked over towards me along with Marathon. As they got closer the tiny creature looked up at them.

“Um Cupcake, why does that thing have  a paper bag over its head?”

“Look Noel, we all have a lot of questions but we have to at least get the little thing dressed, and the little thing is a girl, so we need to at least care for her before she causes a blackout that’ll take out the nation,” I said as I walked past Noel, who was soon following me.

As we walked over towards the elevator to led towards our underground housing, I was stopped by two rollerskating troublemakers, the bomber twins. The bombs on our team and the only chaotic part of our team besides this little creature. Both girls and both filled with enough energy to make the sun look bad. Natil and Natilia. Brunettes, with caramel skin, emerald eyes, and matching black camo clothing. The only way to tell the two apart is that Natil has shorter hair than Natilia. 

“So, whatcha go there? A bomb? A gun? A new weapon? A baby-? Huh is that a baby? Since when was she pregnant, Natil?”

“I don’t know Natilia, maybe Noel and her fucked a while back that the baby was created but are you sure that’s Noel’s baby? That thing looks fucking corupted. Reminds me of a fucked up lollipop.”

The twins glanced at each other before grinning wickedly. I chose to ignore their stupid words, those two loved drama more than the most problematic person in the whole world. Soon enough the twins began to pull against the paper bag. I slapped their hands away from the bag causing them to latch back on again and pull harder. Noel finally decided to step in. He grabbed the twins hands and began to crush them which led to the two to release their grips on the paper bag.

“Next time you step out of line, you’ll be cleaning up Bertha’s and Lunai’s dog shit..for the rest of the prime year.”

The twins shrieked before skating away, the one thing they were scared of were dogs, well not dogs in general, just Bertha and Lunai, our team's dobermans.  I chuckled before finally getting towards the elevator with no problem. Noel got in and somehow Marathon slipped in as well. As the elevator went down, the little creature curled up in my arms and nuzzled against me. I did a small smile before turning back to my expressionless self. As the elevator doors opened towards our housing area, Noel and I waved goodbye to Marathon who was going home to enjoy time with her wife and kid. Noel parted ways with me because he was going to stop by the store to pick up diapers and all for this little creature. I finally made it towards Noel’s and I’s house. I unlocked the door and stepped inside, locking the door behind me once I walked in. I took off my shoes before walking up towards the bathroom. I never noticed the scent of the little creature until now. It kind of burst out of an egg so it’s understandable as to why she smells this way. I placed her in the sink and quickly grabbed some baby soap that I had for Marathon’s daughter when she was a baby. I gently lathered up the soap onto the little creature’s body. She gurgled and made happy noises. I held her body gently and rinsed her when I was done soaping her up. As the bubble trickled off along with the soap the little thing began to put her fingers in her mouth. I turned off the water and picked up her wet body. Getting a towel from the closet I wrapped her body up and walked into my bedroom. JUst as I did, I heard Noel coming into the house. As I was drying the little baby along my bed, Noel came into the room and placed down diapers, wipes, pacifiers, bibs, baby soap and shampoo, baby bottles, baby clothes, baby food, and formula.

“Well someone has been studying on what to buy~”

Noel landed a firm slap against my ass which caused me to look at him with widened eyes. He landed a gentle kiss along my lips before taking over for me, preparing to get the baby dressed. As I walked out the room and headed down the stairs to get to the living room, I crashed onto the couch.

“Leave it to Noel to magically get a baby that is not mentally attached to us…What a fucking day..”
