Toddle (Creature)

Baby Jamie's POV

I stare at Mom like he's crazy.

"Come on, peanut, walk to mommy," he says.

Why should I do this again? I already know how to crawl and you guys can just carry me everywhere, right? I look up at Dad who's holding my hands. Don't look bored, you short motherfucker.

Dad looks down at me. "Go ahead," he says.

I let go of Dad's hands and crawl instead, just to spite him. Dad sighs and Mom just looks disappointed.

Dad picks me back up, "No, not like that Jamie," he says.

I frown at him. No, Dad, I wanna crawl.

I try to worm back out of his hands and whine. Mom sighs this time. "Alright, put him down," Mom says.

Dad puts me back down so I crawl over to Mom to thank him. "Hey baby," he says, picking me up.

I smile sweetly and hug him. Mom chuckles and carries me over so he can sit at the table.

Dad runs a hand through his hair. "Both the twins were walking by now," He says.

Mom shrugs and plays with my tail while I grab at my furry feet. "We have to let him go at his own pace."

Dad rolls his eyes. "You coddle him too much."

Mom sticks his tongue out at Dad. "He's my baby, I can coddle him all I want."

"Our baby, thank you."

I look around the room while they continue talking. My teddy is on my floor mat in the corner.

I reach for him but Mom and Dad aren't watching me. Bastards.

I squirm so Mom sets me on the floor. Thinking those two aren't watching, I toddle toward the corner instead of crawling.

Once I get to my teddy, I pick him up and start toddling back.

Mom and Dad are both staring at me with their mouths open.

I walk up to Mom and hold up my free arm. "Up," I say, one of like five words I like saying out loud.

Mom grins as he picks me up and kissed my forehead. I smile, I love when Mommy kisses me.

I look at Dad, who is just shaking his head. "Brat," he mutters, walking away.

Mom giggles and kisses the top of my head. "That's my boy."
