Leviathan Emeritus. (Papa Emeritus 3's son)

Family meets the new member.

*Papa iii's point of view*
I got a text from my brother saying he, Papa i, Dad, Copia, and mom are coming over. I do fear how father will react though. He doesn't often love children. That never meant he didn't love me and my older brothers. I just hope he behaves around Leviathan. Don't worry, son, I wont let anyone hurt you. Ever. My Ghuleh is sleeping so beautifully, I wouldn't dare disturb her to notify that family are coming to see my only son. I check to see Leviathan all swaddled up in his own little hospital crib right next to his mother where they can see each other. I move my chair to the other end of the room so I can be next to my son too. He is now between both mama and papa. I sit down and watch my little one sleep and just simply look like a small breathing burrito. My wife stirs.
"Papa?"
"I'm right here. I just moved so Leviathan has both his parents by his side."
Ghuleh weakly smiles.
"How is my little burrito?"
"Sleeping, breathing, all is good. You alright? You still sound weakened."
Ghuleh stretches.
"I am still weak but a bit better than last night."
"Good."
I give her a comforting smile.
"Brother? Sister in law?"
"Jered! please do be quiet, all of you, Leviathan still sleeps."
Jered nods.
"Ghuleh..." Sister imperator comes in, speaking quietly.
"Sister." Ghuleh struggles to sit up so I help her a bit.
Sister creeps over to Leviathans crib and lets out a small gasp.
"He's so small."
"I know. He's a good boy. He drank right up as soon as he was cleaned."
"Aww, that's good. I'm glad to be called a nana."
Ghuleh Smiles. "Uncle and grandpa Emeritus?"
Nihil wobbles in with his cane and oxygen tank while Jered guides him into the room. (My brother's name btw.)
Nihil and Jered already just wanna see the baby.
"Welcome, nephew." Jered Bows slightly to the baby like as if this was some royal baby ceremony.
"What ever you do, do not bring a damn kazoo on stage like your father."
"Oh, shut up." I laugh. I don't know what other instrument would've went nicely with my dear wife's theme song.
"Alright. let me see my grandson. I didn't waddle my wrinkled ass here for nothing."
"Um... tmi?" Ghuleh cringed.
One glance and Father looks weakened, like he was struck by my son's lightening of cuteness. He looks like he saw the most expensive most beautiful piece of jewelery ever.
"What a handsome little guy. How come none of y'all looked this cute?"
James and I glared.
"Dad." We both said at the same time.
"What? y'all were ugly when you two were born!"
"What? Fuck you-"
"SHHHHH." Ghuleh and sister snapped at Nihil.
"Sorry Seester, and I'm joking, you two. geez."
"Suuuure you were." I rolled my eyes.
Ghuleh checked to see Leviathan starting to cry.
"Really, Nihil?" Ghuleh glared at him.
"You couldn't have kept quiet?"
"Sorry.." Nihil quietly and awkwardly replied.
"Hey, can you bring him closer to me dear?" I push the crib a bit closer to him.
Ghuleh picks up the swaddled burrito and rocks him to calm him down. She then sings to him.
"We're standing here by the abyss.
and the world is in flames.
Two starcrossed lovers reaching out
to the beast with many names."
Leviathan stops crying. He gave an expression like he recognized the song.
Ghuleh rocks and holds him for a while.
"Hey. where's George (papa i) and Copia?"
"Late, dammit." Jered mumbles under his breath, angrily and marches out into the hall seeing a tired Protege and papa i.
"Did you get lost? And how did you smuggle that damn rodent into the hospital-"
"Shhhh. Ralph wanted to see the baby." The cardinal explained.
Jered raised and eyebrow and growled.
"Really?"
"Honest! I am a rat whisperer after all!"
James covered his mouth with his hand.
"Shut up. Leviathan was already disturbed by Nihil and you better not get my nephew an allergic reaction to that damn thing. We don't even know if he is safe around that pile of diseases or not."
"He's healthy. Besides, he's domestic."
Jered crosses his arms.
He sighs in defeat.
"Fine, if my nephew dies from the plague, you won't die quick. Got me?"
Copia nervously nods. His pet does the same after.
"Good. Keep quiet and keep the little sickness away from Leviathan."
Copia quickly comes into the room and sees Ghuleh rocking little Leviathan.
His stupid rat, Ralph, sniffs him from 6 feet away from him on the cardinals shoulder.
"Awee." Copia reacted like a little kid sees it's baby sibling for the first time.
"I know. Isn't he cute?"
"Yeah." He is so damn childish.
Ralph jumps off his shoulder to take a better look at my son.
"Hello." Ghuleh smiles at the thing and pets him.
I roll my eyes. I look at my brother and see he looks like he's already ready to strangle the awkward rat-man.
I stomped my foot to get his attention.
I motioned my hand downward to warn him to calm down.
He shrugs it off and keeps glaring.
Ralph just carefully crawls on leviathans swaddle and slowly approaches, sniffing him, getting closer and closer to his face. Leviathan makes a face likes he's ready to sneeze and Ralph scurries off him hiding behind Ghuleh.
"It's ok. He's just yawning."
Ralph made sure he wasn't doing any harm to Leviathan. He looks at Copia for a minute. He goes back to carefully explore him. He sniffs his nose and licks it and scurries off again to Copia.
"Awe. He kissed him." Ghuleh giggled.
Leviathan made a weird face and wiped his little nose with his hand.
I chuckle. It was too cute.
"Gift time!" Nihil suddenly got excited.
Nihil brought Him a gift. It was a little blanket that had a big "IV" on it.
"Welcome, Grandson."
Jared steps towards leviathan and gives him a Ghost Staff that He used to have when he was papa. He places it, leaning it against Ghulehs bedside on the wall.
"If anyone doesn't listen to you, you slam the end of it on the ground and startle them for attention." He steps away.
George, also known as papa i, brings him the thurible he used to temporarily use on stage during con clavi con dio.
"Use this to make the black mass smell better. I used it bc all I ever smelled was the damn weed that the teens smoked at our shows."
He steps away and Copia comes forth.
"We got you a stuffed rat, buddy. Now you got a pet too." He baby talked as Ralph carried the life sized rat toy to the swaddled boy and placed it right by his face. He scurries his way back up to Copias shoulder. His rat starts to boggle.
Sister Imperator brought Him Homemade clothes and little booties with big grucifixes on them.
"I thought maybe you'd look better in these than in your swaddle, you little peanut." She boops his nose and smiles.
My Ghuleh just holds him, adoring everything about her freshly new son.
She kisses him on the head. All the sudden, a little smile creeps up on his face.
Everyone awes at him.
"He has a big life ahead of him." Copia cooed.
