--------------------------------HERC'S POV
"Come on (Y/n), you can do it. Come on."
She just looked up at me and sneezed, confusing herself before she started giggling.
"Come on, (Y/n), I know you can."
She looked at me again, "B-bear!"
"Not what I was expecting, but still. You said your first word! I'm so proud of you!" I smiled widely and gave her a hug, "You are just the best thing in the world, aren't you? Yes you are. Oh, I'm gonna show my friends."
I put her down on the sofa and took my phone out of my pocket, getting the group chat up with the whole Hamilsquad (meaning everyone, not just Herc, Laf, John and Alex).
TEXTS:
TailorBoy: GUYS!
NeverStopsWriting: Herc, what is it?
America'sFavouriteFightingFrenchman: Herc, Mon ami, what happened?
TurtleBoi: Yeah, tell us!
TailorBoy: (Y/n) said her first word!
StillHelpless: Yay!
NeverSatisfied: What was it?
Tailorboy: Bear. Her first word was bear.
AndPeggy!: Any reason why?
TailorBoy: I don't know. I was just sitting on the floor with her trying to get her to speak and she just blurts it out.
StillHelpless: Can you do a video call so we can hear her?!
TurtleBoi: YES! I wanna see this!
America'sFavouriteFightingFrenchman: Oui, I want to see it for myself to, Mon ami.
TailorBoy: Okay, give me a sec.
I started a video chat and turned back to where (Y/n) was on the sofa, making the camera face her, "(Y/n), say it again. Come on." She looked at my phone and then to me, staying silent.
"Are you sure you're not just messing with us, Herc?"
I sighed and ignored John's question, "(Y/n), please."
"Bear!" she squeaked making grabby hands towards me. There was a chorus of 'aw' and 'so cute!' from my friends.
"Alex?"
"Yeah, John?"
"Has Philip started talking yet?"
I heard Alex sigh before he shook his head, "No not yet."
"That's surprising, seeing as he's your son, Alex."
"Shut it, John. Right, I'm going back to writing, bye to all of you."
