The paper wailed as it was created, Mephone groaned. "Are you guys gonna always cry when I create you?" He rocked the paper calming them down a little, the phone spawned in a pillow and placed the flat fella on, he moved onto the glass cup and after a little while it was alive.


But


It wasn't crying...



"Huh that's new..." Maybe they all don't cry? He looked the child, it's eyes were closed and wasn't moving, he listened in closer, he heard little breaths but were raspy, the phone frowned, he spawned in a bottle.

"Maybe your hungry!" He tried to feed them but he wasn't taking the milk, it just laid next to it's mouth, Mephone went a bit pale, this doesn't seem to be a good sign, he picked up his baby book and looked through the pages.


Baby fact 72: 'If your child is born not crying or lack of breathing seek medical attention straight away.'


Mephone's eyes widened, he didn't want to go to a doctor, mainly because he has no idea where one would be, he flipped through the pages, hoping he would find an answer.


Baby fact 345: 'Some children like glasses and bags need something in them, otherwise they will get very sick.'


That's it! He needs a liquid for the glass! He unscrewed the milk bottle but then thought. 'If I give them this milk, will the other kids try to drink him?' The phone wasn't sure but he'd rather be safe then sorry, he spawned in a container of orange juice and poured it in the cup carefully, once at a reasonable level he stopped and waited.


A few minutes passed and no sign of waking, he sighed and put them dow-


"WAHHHHHH"


The juice cup wailed, Mephone beamed. "Oh thank god your alive!" He rocked the crying child and picked up the paper as well, soothing them both, he had to wait until they open their eyes before he could tell their genders. He went over to where Lightbulb was, she was still asleep and spawned in two more pillow beds and laid the newborns down, they wiggled on their beds, Mephone spawned in some milk and fed them both, calming them down.


He'll wait for tomorrow to make some more he thought, because taking care of 3 will be the easiest for him he sighed.
