Baby Keith

5

'Keith's even younger?! And he's sick! Ah quiznak!'

3rd person

Everyone awoke to the sound of a baby crying. This caused everyone to jump out of bed & rush to Keith's room banging into walls. Lance made it first, Hunk & Shiro right behind him, and Pidge takes up the rear. Lance peers into the crib gasping softly.
"H-he's a baby." Lance looks shocked. Keith went from a two year old to not much more than a 6 month old. Hunk peers into the crib picking the tiny baby up.
"We need new clothes & diapers. He's way to small to fit in what we have." Hunk explains.
"I'll check the room full of baby clothes Allura has." Pidge says before running off to get the stuff. Keith continues to cry.
"What's wrong with him?" Shiro asks taking his brother into his arms gently laying him on the changing table checking the diaper.
"Oh-kay, that's a job for mama Hunk." Shiro says moving away.
Hunk takes over cooing, "My poor baby. No wonder you're so upset your diaper is full. Is my baby feeling icky?" Keith sniffles reaching up to grab Hunk's bandana. Hunk unties the bandana giving it to Keith to appease the little boy. Keith squeaks hugging the bandana as Pidge comes back holding a pile of clothes in their arms looking as if they might crushed under the weight of them.
"I got clothes & diapers for him." Pidge states carrying the bundle over.
"Thank you Pidge." Hunk looks relieved grabbing a diaper & some stuff to clean the sniffling baby.
Keith whines as Hunk cleans his bottom. Keith flails his arms tears pooling in his indigo eyes.
"Shh, I know you don't like it. It's okay. I'm cleaning you so it doesn't hurt anymore." Hunk soothes the now crying baby. Keith huffs sneezing causing his Galra ears to come out making him whine.
Everyone chuckles softly smiling fondly at the sweet boy. Lance puts a pacifier in Keith's mouth to keep him calm. Keith instantly becomes calm & a little sleepy. Which allowed Hunk to quickly change the diaper.
All of them know Keith will begin to over heat if he wears pajamas while he's sick so they decide to leave Keith in the diaper and put a thin blanket on him.
"I'll get a wet cloth to put on his forehead." Lance offers leaving to the room.
"I'll grab a humidifier." Shiro also offers leaving to room to get the object.
"I'll make him a bottle." Pidge states leaving the room to get the bottle.
This leaves Hunk to hold the sick baby (Not that he minds). Hunk rocks him gently wrapping him in his little red blanket giving him his new and improved Eepo. Keith takes the hippo happily a little gurgle coming out of his throat. Hunk smiles & kisses Keith's forehead.
"It'll be okay, baby. Mommy, Bubba, Lance & Pidge will make it all better." Hunk sits in the rocking chair in the corner.
Lance comes back with the cloth. Shiro's right behind him setting up the humidifier up near the crib. Pidge comes in last holding a bottle of milk.
"Now that I think about it. Getting Cultinecker was a good idea." Pidge remarks giving Hunk the bottle.
"He came with the game we bought from the space mall." Lance replies with a huff. Hunk puts the bottle to Keith's lips and begins feeding him.
"We had baby formula?" Shiro questions confused by how Pidge made the bottle.
"I have a lot of stuff from Earth. Because, well, you never know." Pidge replies with a shrug. Everyone nods glad Pidge was prepared for this predicament or something simular.
Hunk lays Keith in his bed when he is mostly asleep. Lance then puts the wet cloth in Keith's forehead. Keith sneezes with a little whine following it. His pale chubby cheeks being flushed red due to his fever.
"Night night, Keith." Lance whispers. He looks at everyone else.
"I'll watch Keith tonight." He states wanting to be there for Keith since he still feels terrible for abandoning Keith a few days ago in favor of Kosmo. Everyone nods filing out. This time Pidge takes up the front & Hunk in the rear.
Lance sits in the rocking chair Hunk was sitting in a few minutes prior.
"Good night Keith..." Lance mumbles starting to nod off.

~Time Skip~

A loud wail sounded from the baby's room causing the Cuban teen to shoot up & help the Korean baby.
Lance picks Keith up carrying him to the changing table to see what's wrong with him. Keith continues to wail his tummy hurting really bad.
Lance checks Keith's diaper seeing that isn't the cause of the poor baby being miserable. Lance tries feeding him only for Keith to spit out the bottle. Lance's sits in the rocking chair with Keith stumped.
"I don't get it Keith. Why are you crying?" Lance asks the sobbing baby. Keith puts his hands on his tummy whimpering.
"Your tummy hurts?" Lance asks getting a sniffle & a whine from Keith. Lance nods grabbing a cloth & starts to burp Keith.
After Keith burps & spits up some he coughs softly. Lance smiles bouncing Keith softly.
"Such a cutie~" Lance cooes rubbing Keith's back gently. Keith giggles softly liking the warmth he gets from Lance snuggling into him.
Lance looks at the clock seeing it's 3:30 am. "Keith you sure like to wake up early huh?" Lance asks Keith staring at him blankly. Lance sighs softly, tickling Keith causing giggles to erupt from the boy.
Hunk comes in wearing an apron, "Come on Lance. Breakfast is ready." Lance nods deciding against commenting on the apron. Not wanting to be hit with wooden spoon in Hunk's hand.
"Aw my little baby. Is he feeling sick still?" Hunk asks taking Keith from Lance. Keith huffs clearly not okay with being sick. Lance chuckles softly nodding.
Keith whimpers having went potty. (He also wanted attention but Lance & Hunk don't need to know that.) Hunk smiles laying Keith on the changing table to dress him in a new diaper & some pajama pants.
Shiro came in looking like utter shit. Keith noticed this first & decided to make it publicly made it known he was not okay with his brother looking so upset
"Ah!" Keith cries reaching for Shiro from his place in Hunk's arms. Shiro takes the squirming boy placing a little kiss on his head.
"Hey there, Keith." Shiro whispers bouncing Keith gently since it was widely known in the castle Keith's stomach hurts. Keith holds onto Shiro buring his face in Shiro's neck falling asleep again.
