A few moments later, Nick got back home and went inside the house. When he went to the backyard, he noticed that Chase wasn't there. He looked around but no sight of him, so he asked the pups.

Nick: Hey, where's Chase? Wasn't he playing with you pups?
Marshall: Well... (touched his finger together) Um...

Zuma then answered for Marshall

Zuma: Mawshall got mad at Chase weally bad and wan to his woom cwying
Nick: (to Marshall) Marshall, what did you do?
Marshall: (sobs a little) Its not my fault... I just got annoyed from his childish behavior every time...
Nick: Childish behavior?
Marshall: (nods)

Nick then got the needed information and went to Chase's room. He knocked on the door very gently.

Nick: (calmly asks) Chase? You okay in there?

Chase didn't answer, but Nick could hear him whining.

Nick: I'm coming in Chase

When Nick went inside Chase's room, he sees him lying on his bed hugging his officer bear plush tightly. Nick sat down on the side of the bed near Chase.

Nick: (looks at Chase) Hey, you doing okay?

Chase then sat up and hugged Nick tightly, whining.

Nick: (pats Chase in the head gently) It's okay, Chase. I'm here
Chase: (whines, hugs)

After some time, Chase said:

Chase: D-dad?
Nick: Yes Chase?
Chase: Can I tell you something? If you don't mind
Nick: Go on

Nick answered in a soothing voice

Chase: Did Marshall or the others told you about my childish behavior?
Nick: Yeah, why?

Nick answered with curiosity

Chase: Well... I...

Chase started to tear up and eventually sob, plus, he had no strength to tell Nick.

Nick: Don't worry Chase. I'm here to listen. Go on

Nick said trying to give Chase some strength to tell what Chase is feeling,

Chase: I... I wanna be treated like a baby... (burries his head on Nicks chest from embarrassment)
Nick: (surprised) What do you mean?
Chase: Well... I just wanna be like a little pup again, you know, sleeping in a crib, hugging a plushie, wearing a diaper, drinking milk from a bottle and stuff...

Chase told Nick and cried like a baby on Nick's chest

Nick: Was that why you were having your childish behavior?
Chase: (nods) Pwease dun't bwe mwad... (sobs)
Nick: Awhhhhh (pats Chase on the head) Don't worry. I'm not mad

Nick thought of something to make Chase calm down. He grabbed Chase's officer bear plushie and showed it to him.

Nick: Look Chase! (shows the plushie to Chase). (imitates a friendly voice to make the plushie look like its talking) I'm here for you Chase. No need to cry.
Chase: (stops sobbing)
Nick (imitating a friendly voice): Wanna hug with me? :3
Chase: (giggles)
Nick: (gives the plushie to Chase)
Chase: (grabs the plushie and hugs it tight)
Nick: Hehe. Aren't you just cure when you giggle (boops Chase)
Chase: Nyaaaa! x3

Nick chuckled and placed Chase on his bed

Nick: Be right back Chasey. Daddy just need a run to the store
Chase: Okie dada :3

Nick then left Chase's room and went downstairs. The pups then walked to Nick and asked:

Rubble: Is Chase okay?
Nick: Yeah, and by the way, you pups are gonna have a baby brother
Marshall: Who?
Nick: You already know who (chuckles). I'm just gonna go to the store and buy some stuff for your new baby brother. Be good around him okay?
The pups: Okay

After that, Nick went out the front door and went to the store to buy some baby stuff for Chase. As for the pups, they went to Chase's room to see what he's doing.

Zuma: (peeks in) Chase?

When the pups went in, they could just see Chase sleeping peacefully on his bed. The pups came closer, when Chase eventually wakes up. He took a big yawn and sat up. The first thing that Chase saw was Marshall, so he covered himself with his blankie and started whining.

Chase: (whines)
Marshall: No no no, Chase... Please don't be scared
Chase: Why would I not be?! Chu wewe weally scawy eawliew... (whines louder)
Marshall: I know, and it was mean of me to yell at you... I'm sorry

Chase uncovered himself

Chase: Chu pwomise not tu yeww at me? 🥺
Marshall: Promise (hugs Chase)
Chase: (hugs back)
Marshall: So, you wanna play with us? :)
Chase: Yeeesssshhhh! x3 (giggles)
