The Transylvanian Affair: Part Three

chapter 5

On Transsexual, it was about morning time. Frank was woken up by baby Joey's cries and went to her crib which looked a lot like Rocky's old tank from the lab in his former castle. "Let's join Mummy for breakfast, yes?" Frank said, still a little tired since he woke up without Nation. 

Joey continued to cry until Frank picked her up. She opened her eyes which were filled with tears from before.

Nation was still asleep, she'd have plenty of mornings where she would wake up first. She slowly woke up, sensing Joey was needing something but still pretty tired from the birth.

"Nation?" Frank called gently. "Cosmo, where's your sister?"

Cosmo shrugged. "Last I saw her she went to the bathroom at 5:00..."

"She must've fallen asleep in there, she had a rough night."

"I should say so." 

Joey blew a bubble at her father.

Frank cooed, clapping excitedly and lightly, "That was very good, Joey!" he smiled delightfully. 

Joey gave a smile.

Frank smiled back, then took out apple sauce to feed her. He dipped the spoon in and held it to her mouth. "Eat up, Joey, it's good for you." 

Nation came in and watched, leaning on the door-frame.

Joey had a little taste of the apple sauce. She then wrinkled her face up, it didn't taste good to her.

"Oh, come on, Joey, it's not bad," Frank stirred up the apple sauce and took a sample of himself. "See? Daddy likes it!" he then tasted it and spit it right out, disgusted as well. "Okay, maybe not..." 

Nation giggled behind her hand. "She should be drinking milk, dear."

Joey smiled at Frank's reaction she then made an excited noise as she heard Nation speak.

"I knew that." Frank rolled his eyes laughing. He then smiled at Joey once she was happy again. "You want your milk, deary?" 

"Where is her milk?" Frank asked, putting away the 'wretched' apple sauce. 

"Frankie," Nation chuckled, not wanting to embarrass her husband. "Just pass her here."

Joey giggled slightly.

"Fine, fine..." Frank sighed, picking Joey up and handing her to Nation as told. "Maybe she won't give you any trouble."

Joey made an excited noise as she was handed to her mother. She kind of sensed food time.

Nation grabbed a towel and then fed the way most babies were fed.

Frank laid back and glanced outside to see another enchanting night like day in Transsexual. "So, what do you wanna do today? The girls should contact us by now..."

Nation looked at him. "Well, I think I need a day of relaxing with you, after all I gave birth last night..."

"You rest," Frank kissed her forehead, coming toward her. "I'm sure I can settle Joey for a few hours or so..."

Nation handed him Joey, who had finished and fell asleep.

Joey settled in Frank's arms.

Frank smiled and held Joey. "We're gonna have fun, right honey?" he asked delicately.

Joey shifted closer to Frank, sleeping off her feed.

"Do I need to know anything?" Frank asked in whisper so he wouldn't wake Joey.
