Tommy Pickles: The Terrible Twos (Series; Pt 1)

Waterworks Pt 2

Hello again everyone! Hope you're having a good weekend and I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Didi quickly dressed Dil once again, putting him in his pjs and letting him down onto the floor so he could go back to playing. Once that was finished, Didi made her way back to the bathroom as she helped Tommy finish getting cleaned up for his bath. Dil just found himself crawling over to hug his Goober plushie that he had left on the floor right before their bath time as he hugged it tightly. At least if Goober were to come alive, he wouldn't be scary like those other toys.

A few minutes later Didi returned to the bedroom with Tommy in her arms, wrapped in a bath towel.

"There we go all nice and clean. Now let's get you dressed for night night." Didi said with a smile

"Me do it!" Tommy exclaimed, running over to the dresser near the bedroom door wanting to dress himself for once

"Oh, alright sweetie I'll be right here if you need mommy's help." Didi said, partially in surprise as she watched Tommy manage to get everything he needed out of the two bottom drawers. Even she still couldn't believe how her sons were growing up so fast already.

Tommy managed to get everything on okay, with the exception of needing help getting his shirt over his head, as Didi helped him with that before he finished getting his arms through his shirt sleeves.

"Good job, Tommy! You got dressed all by yourself. Now how about you go ahead and get in bed while I get your brother ready for bed." Didi praised the two year old

"Uh huh!" Tommy nodded, beaming in delight that he, for the most part, was able to dress himself on his own for bedtime.

Making his way over to his bed, Tommy climbed in as he watched his mom place Dil inside his crib and give him a kiss goodnight.

"Night night Dil, mommy will see you in the morning." Didi cooed, placing a kiss on Dil's forehead before moving away from the crib.

After getting Dil settled, Didi then made her way over to Tommy's bed, tucking Tommy in, as she also gave him a goodnight kiss on the forehead.

"Good night to you too, Tommy." Didi said

"Night night." Tommy managed to reply back

With a smile, Didi quietly made her way out of the room as she turned off the light, closing the door behind her but leaving just a crack in the door for Tommy if he needed to get up in the middle of the night. Upon their mothers departure from the room, Tommy then sat up in his bed eyeing his brother's crib as Dil laid facing the other way with his back towards Tommy.

"Dilly are you sleeping yets?" Tommy asked in a low whisper

Dil, still holding onto his Goober plushie, rolled over to look at his brother. "Nuh uh, is something wrongs?" Dil replied, questioning what his brother wanted

Scooting his way out of his bed, Tommy made his way over to Dil's crib as he held onto the bars of the crib.

"Well I was just wondering...Why do you hate bathys so much?" Tommy asked

Dil opened his mouth to answer before immediately stopping himself. He didn't want Tommy to think he was some scardey baby because of some toys. Frowning, Dil shook his head before finally answering.

"I just dos." Dil replied

"Dilly, you can tells me if you're ascared of something. I used to be ascared of bathys too." Tommy assured his brother

"Really? You were ascared of bathys? But you're not ascared of nothing..." Dil questioned, looking at Tommy with a puzzled look

"Uh huh, it was a long time ago afore you came home from the hopcicle. I had one of my toys go down the drain and that ascareded me so much that I thoughts I was going to go down the drain." Tommy explained, recalling back over a year ago when he pulled the bathtub drain out of curiosity only to have his toy soldier end up getting sucked down the drain

"You can get sucked down the drain?!" Dil exclaimed in a panic

"No Dil, listen to mes! Chuckie and I thoughts we'd get sucked down the drain especially after Angelica's Cynthia dolly got sucked down the potty drain. But when we had our bathy that night I cided that I wasn't going to be scared no more and pulled that thingy that keeps all the water from getting sucked down the drain. We finally knew that we couldn't gets sucked down the drain and that it was going to be okays." Tommy explained the entire ordeal to his brother

"Wow, well at least I knows that you can't gets sucked down the drain neither." Dil replied

"Do you wants to tells me why you're ascared of bathys now?" Tommy questioned, hoping his brother would open up after hearing his own brother's bathtime fears

"Okay..." Dil sighed before taking a deep breath. "I'm ascared of bathys acause those bathy toys mommy puts into the bath are alive and going to eats us." Dil finally answered

Hearing his brother's fear finally, Tommy reached through the crib bars as he placed a hand on Dil's shoulder.

"Don't worry Dil, I'm going to show yous that the bathy toys aren't going to hurt neither of us. Then you can finally enjoy having bathys." Tommy replied, now determined to help his brother

"If you says sos Tommy...I think i'm going to go night night nows." Dil whispered, letting out a yawn as he was starting to fall asleep

"Okay, night night Dilly." Tommy whispered, stepping back from the crib to allow his brother to sleep

Making his way back into his own bed, Tommy lied back down as he slowly started growing sleepy as well, finally drifting off to sleep not long after his brother. Now he had a new goal in mind: Help Dil get over his fears so he could finally maybe enjoy baths just like he did.

Will Tommy be able to get Dil to overcome his fear? Find out next time!
