Godly Struggles

To The Town We Go

Chapter: 2

It was around six am when Wilbur burst into Techno's room to give him Tommy. While Techno was grateful that he was able to get a little bit of sleep he was still upset that he had to wake up before the sun came out. Why should anyone have to wake up before the sun even rises? But duty calls.

Techno took the small child from Wilbur's arms and carefully got out of bed and to the kitchen. Thankfully Techno had not stepped on any creaky floorboards and Tommy was still sound asleep in his arms by the time they reached the kitchen.

Sitting at the table was a sleep-deprived Philza who traded his usual tea for coffee. The smell of coffee beans wafted throughout the room and soon enough Techno gave in and made himself a glass. The drink was bitter but always did its job so Techno tolerated it.

"When are we going to the town?" Techno asked after taking a sip of his drink

"I was thinking in about an hour," Phil responded as he started desperately into his now empty coffee mug

"You okay there?" Techno asked as a smirk found its way onto his face

"I'm fine just well stressed and tired. Very tired."

"Aren't we all," Techno agreed with a nod of his head and then looking down at the tiny child in his arms, "Phil, what do babies eat again?"

"Oh, I looked this up last night in our library!" Phil said finally looking up at Techno, "Tommy looks to be around five months so he can only eat baby food and soft stuff. Though he should still be drinking formula so we should try to find that first."

"Do we have any food that we can feed him in the fridge before we leave?"

"Yea I think we have leftover mashed potatoes that we can feed him once he wakes up."

After around ten minutes Tommy started to wake up. His big blue eyes continuously fluttered open and shut until he finally decided to stay awake. Tommy then looked up at Techno with the angriest face he had ever seen on a child. It was as if he blamed Techno for having to wake up which he had to admit was a bit amusing.

Techno took the time where Tommy was just waking up to give Tommy to Phil and prepare both of their food. Then by the time Tommy was fully awake Techno was able to go feed him some mashed potatoes.

Feeding Tommy was harder than it looked. Every time Techno offered a spoonful of potatoes he was either turn his head away or spit it out immediately. All Techno could do was look desperately back and forth between Phil and Tommy who had begun to giggle at Techno's distress.

"I'm glad you think it's funny," Techno remarked and in response, Tommy gave him a cheeky grin that Techno couldn't help but smile back at

"Wait I remember reading about this!" Phil said excitedly as he pulled a whole notebook out of his pocket. After skimming through the pages he finally said, "It says right here the best tactic you can use to get your baby to eat is the airplane method."

"What the heck is the airplane method?"

"Well you just make airplane noises and tell Tommy that the airplane is coming and then he will probably eat"

"That sounds stupid"

"Well do you have any better ideas?"

"Fine."

Techno took a spoonful of mashed potatoes and then faced Tommy. Tommy by the way at this point was determined not to eat any potatoes.

"Tommy hear comes the plain" Techno said sarcastically as he moved the spoon towards Tommy's mouth.

Techno was left speechless when Tommy actually ate the spoonful of potatoes and actually swallowed it. What kind of sorcery is this!
