Dante woke up to the sound of crying and a young child screaming "Turn me back!" He bolted out of bed and ran to where he heard the crying and screaming. He ran into Nero's room and saw a baby with white hair in one of Nero's shirts screaming at Trish.
"What the hell is going on?" Dante asked.
"That little bastard destroyed all my clothes, so I turned him into a baby to teach him a lesson," Trish said and walked out the door. Dante called after but she didn't come back. Dante sighed and looked down at Nero, who had his head down and was obviously trying to hide his tear stained face. He picked up the baby cambion and said: "Come on, we need to get you some clothes and some other stuff to make your room appropriate."
"My room is staying the way it is!" Nero snapped,
"No, it's getting changed into a nursery, you can't stay in this room with how you are now," Dante said.
"Don't change my room!" Nero snapped again. Without thinking, Dante shouted, "I'm changing your room and that's that!" Nero winced and started crying, which made Dante feel bad.

Dante bounced Nero in his arms and said: "Don't cry, I'm sorry for yelling." As he tried to get the baby cambion to stop crying, Dante was thinking of how he should get pacifiers for Nero. Dante patted the baby's back and bounced him until he had fallen asleep. The elder cambion sighed in relief and wrapped the shirt around Nero in a way so it looked like he was wrapped in a blanket. Dante quickly left the apartment and got in his car, keeping Nero in his lap. 

When the baby cambion woke up, he was in a bed, but not his. He looked around and saw he was in Dante's room. He looked over the edge and saw it was a long way down. Well, to the Nero's it's long. He gripped the blanket and started to slowly climb down, taking a full 2 minutes to get close enough to the floor. He let go and landed on his bottom.
"What the hell? Is there a carpet under me?" Nero said and felt the floor, confused when he felt the hard tiled floor. He looked down at himself and was angry at what he saw.

"Dante!" Dante jumped in surprise when he heard Nero angrily shout his name. He looked towards the doorway when he heard the baby's tiny feet running on the floor and into the room.
"Why the hell am I in a diaper? And what the hell did you do to my room?! Change it back, now!" Nero screamed in anger. Dante smirked, Nero always tried to intimidate Dante and he was trying to do it now, but he was just looking cute. Dante stayed in his kneeling position but put the screwdriver he was holding down. He looked at the baby and said "The room is staying the way it is, and you're in a diaper because you're a baby and babies wear diapers. Plus you wet yourself while you slept."

Nero was silent for a second before his face went red in anger and he shouted "I did not! You lying bastard!" Now Dante was starting to get annoyed.
"Calm down and stop swearing, babies shouldn't swear." Dante said sternly, which Nero retaliated with "Listen to me, you old man, I'm not gonna stop swearing and I sure as hell will not calm down! You put me in a diaper and ruined my room!" Now Dante was angry, being called 'Old man' always annoyed him but with Nero swearing and yelling it annoyed him even more. He stood up, stormed over and shouted: "I said calm down!" He then swatted Nero's bottom with so much force the baby fell forward and smack the floor.

Nero stayed on the floor and started crying, upset because Dante shouted at him and because he got swatted really hard. Dante realized what he did was wrong so he picked up the baby and cradled him in his arms. He grabbed a pacifier out of a little cubby in the changing table and put it in Nero's mouth. Nero just spit it out and kept crying, so Dante put it back in his mouth and held it there. Nero wanted to spit it out but couldn't so he started suckling and found the pacifier to be quite soothing. He eventually calmed down and felt tired, he didn't want to sleep again so he spit the pacifier out again. Dante didn't put it back in, he was satisfied with Nero being calm, so he set him in a playpen and went back to assembling the crib. The cradle was set up, so was the jolly jumper, changing table, highchair, and obviously the playpen.
