Forgiveness

Hunk's POV

I went to my room. After I was completely sure everyone was asleep I snuck to Keith's room opening the door quietly then closing it. My heart broke seeing Keith look broken while tossing a turning. Tears making new tracks down his chubby cheeks. I move to his crib picking him up. He starts to squirm in my arms. I cuddle him close to my chest shushing him softly watching his eyes slowly flutter open.
"Mama?" (Keith called Hunk mama once and now it's a joke and Keith still does it) Keith's usually (but also very unusual because it's Keith) bubbly voice sounded so broken. It made my heart hurt.
'We did this to him... And I didn't say anything... How can he still call me mama if I helped break him? My poor baby.'
I give him a kind smile and whisper softly, "Yeah baby. It's me." I lay him on his changing table. He has got to be wet and probably starting to get a rash.
"Mama I wet..." Keith whimpers squirming in clear discomfort.
"I bet baby. I'll make it better." I smile at him unbuttoning his onesie taking it off him.
"Jammies or no jammies?" I ask him politely. Sometimes when Keith is upset he wants to sleep in just his diaper. I dunno it's cute though.
"No jammies, mama." He whines I can tell he's starting to get sick. My poor baby no wonder he was so upset.
"Okay baby." I smile making quick work of changing his diaper. He hates having to be on the changing table longer than he has to be. I pick him up grabbing his blanket and yellow lion plush as well as a pacifier carrying it all to my room. Confusion written all over his adorable face. I put my finger to my lips going into my room closing the door locking it from the inside.
"Mama?" Keith questions cuddling his plush of my lion.
"Yes baby?" I question back laying on my bed taking my pajama shirt off laying Keith on my chest so we are laying chest to chest.
"Why in mama woom? Keef no goo boy no mowe." Keith asks then explains why he's confused. My heart shatters hearing him say he isn't a good boy anymore.
"No baby. You are a very good boy. Mama will protect his baby. No matter what." I kiss Keith's head covering him and myself kinda with Keith's blanket.
"Nigh nigh mama..." Keith yawns cuddling into my chest falling asleep.
"Good night, baby." I reply softly falling asleep myself.

Narrator's POV

Hunk stood in the kitchen cooking breakfast holding Keith in one of those baby carrying thingies.*
Keith was still asleep in the carrier so Hunk was doing his best to be quiet it was really calm and peaceful... that was quickly changed when the other people living in the castle walked in. "Morning Hunk. I see you got Keith up." Shiro comments grabbing coffee. Hunk nods his head with a hum. "Yeah. He's still tired so it's best to let him sleep." Hunk explains pointing his spatula at anyone who dare come close to him and his baby. Everyone put their hands up in surrender sitting at the table.

~Tiny Time Skip~

Keith finally woke up and is sitting in Hunk's lap playing with one of Hunk's hands happily ignoring everyone's guilty face oblivious to them looking at them. Just before they all sat down Hunk explained everything he did from the previous night. Including everything Keith had said. This made everyone extremely guilty and angry at themselves for letting it happen. And siding with a dog rather than a fragile little boy. Lance coughs awkwardly Keith looks up at the sound of the noise.
"Wha?" Keith asks thinking he needed to pay attention to something. Lance didn't expect Keith to respond.
"Uh Keith. I'm restuffing and sewing Eepo back up. How do you feel about that?" Lance asks hoping to somewhat fix the now broken relationship between him and the tot.
"Tank oo" Keith replies simply not seeming to care. To the surprise of everyone even Hunk.
"I thought you wanted Eepo fixed baby." Hunk gives his "son" a confused look
"Me do... bu Ance, Ashi, Idge an Llura was meanie to Keef. Dey feew ba an tink fis Eepo gonna fis weashonship wif Keef. No twue. Weashonship wif dem and Keef nevew be same." Keith explains in his own way. Everyone who was "meanie to Keef" hung there head in shame for hurting such an innocent little child.
"I told you guys that. Fixing Eepo isn't the only thing you are going to have to do to fix you relationship with Keith." Hunk tells them all matter of factly. Hunk noticing Keith tucked himself back in the baby carrier meaning he wanted to leave. And so Hunk left with Keith.
Hunk walked back to Keith's room to change the little boy.
"Let's get you changed shall we?" Hunk asks tickling Keith causing a fit of giggles to erupt from the boy. Hunk smiles proudly going to Keith's dresser seeing some black shorts and a hoodie with the Red Lion's face on the front pocket.*
"Mama!" Keith squeals happily has Hunk changes him into his outfit after changing the baby's diaper.
"I know. You look so cute. How about we brush that hair, yeah?" Hunk cooes at his baby. Keith give Hunk a determined nod with a huff added. Hunk grabs the hair brush and starts brushing Keith's hair.
