Daddy Doitsu II : Pookie pie

●Day 2 - What's Your Taste??●

Charlotte rubs her eyes as she sluggishly makes her way out of bed. She peeks into her parents room with slightly open eyes, then attempts to climb into their bed. Managing Gilbert's bed, conquering this one will be a new challenger. She advances to the surface but slips as the covers move. Grabbing Ludwig's leg in a panic but losses her grip with her tiny hands.

• Thump •

Ludwig jolts up as his leg is pulled slightly. He looks over to the direction in which his leg was pulled to see a small body on the floor. Fully becoming awaken as faint sobs become louder.

° sniffle ° ° Baby sobs intensify°

He shakes the last lingering daise of sleep away "Char!!" And settles at her side on the floor "Vhat happened??"

"My head" Charlotte squeaks as she holds her head crouching over. Ludwig picks her up in his arms. "Let vatti see" he feels around her little head to find a small lump in the back to which she winced when his hand brushed past. "Ja, let's go get jou an ice pack, liebe" he consoles her as he makes his was down the stairs.

He sits her in the new high chair and searches for an ice pack in the freezer. He wraps the pack in a cloth and rests in on the back of her head. "Now, how did zhis happen?? Or better, vhat did jou do??" He stares into her blue watery orbs.

"I sowwy papa" she pouts.
He sighs in empathy "Did jou fall climbing onto mein bed??"

"Y-yis.." She began to sob again.
He couldn't be mad at her. Shaking his head, he places both her hands in place to hold the ice pack.

"Vell, are jou hungry??" Char nods her head.
"Do jou have a taste for anyzhing??" Char tilts her head to his question. "Vhat vould jou like to eat, char??"
"I don know, papa"
Ludwig tries to think of what she might like. He grabs a napkin and a pen out of one of the draws.

*scribble scribble*

He sits back next to Char and shows her the napkin.
"Here, point at vhat looks like somezhing jou might want."
Charlotte stares at the 3 pictures curiously. A round thing, square thingys, and mushy looking something. "what is dis??" She points at the right one.
"Zhose are eggs und zhat is a wurst" he says gently as he points to the two foods.
"And dat one??" She pointed at the left picture.
"Zhat is cereal, Gilbert said he gave jou some yesterday. Und
zhe middle one is pancakes"
"Pankays??" She points at the middle image.
"Ja, zhey're tasty"
"Pankays~~" she happily repeats.
Ludwig smiles warmly and nods "Alright, pancakes it is"

Feli and Gil wake up to the smell of pancakes and rush downstairs. Making it to the kitchen to Ludwig in his apron and Charlotte with syrup all over her face and hands.
Charlotte bounces with glee at the sight of them and reaches outwards for a hug. "Mama~ Gil~~" she giggles. Ludwig goes to make their plates.

"Veh~~ Ciao Pookie pie~"
"Looks like someone is enjoying zheir pancakes" Gilbert chuckles and ruffles her hair .
"Owch Gil!!" She winces as his hand brushes past her tender head a bit too quickly.
"Careful bruder, she fell und hit her head a little vhile ago"

"Poor bambino" Feli places the ice pack back on her head and wipes her mouth and hands with a napkin.
"Sorry Fräulein" Gilbert kisses her cheek then grabs his plate.

They all sit to eat breakfast and watch as Charlotte makes a mess as she finishes her pancakes. Feliciano helps clean up with Ludwig while Gilbert lays out pet food. He then takes Charlotte out of her high chair, only to notice her change in weight.

"Have jou gotten heavier Char... Und... Smellier.....
Oh.. " he stars at her in realisation.
"Let's go get jou changed, ja??" He awkwardly smiles.
