It has been a few weeks since Corbyn's arrival in the box and everyone was starting to grow fond of the little bundle of joy. Newt had taken it upon himself to take care of Corbyn and attending his every little need. He looked after Corbyn as if he was his own little brother.. or, more fittingly, son.
"Morning, Mama Newt." Frypan greeted the blond british boy one day.
Newt rolled his eyes and groaned. "Not you, too." He grumbled, taking a seat and letting Corbyn sit on the table. Corbyn, however old he was when he was sent to the glade, could now sit and make random baby noises.
"Well, it fits you, shank! You're more of a mother than a track-hoe now!" Frypan chuckled. It seemed as if everyone in glade was starting to call Newt 'Mama Newt'. It had been funny at first but now it was just old to Newt, But, guess the rest of the gladers aren't bored with it yet.
"Blah.. goo..blagh..baabaa..." Corbyn babbled, facing Newt as he clapped his pudgy baby hands.
Newt turned his attention to the clapping baby and lifted an eyebrow. "Hmm? What is it?" He asked the baby, a slight smile on his face. He knew the baby couldn't understand him yet but he loved talking to him.
"Baabaa..! Baabaa..!" Corbyn cried out, his hands turning into a fist.
While Frypan looked at the baby in confusion, Newt had spent enough time with the baby to understand what he meant. "You want your baabaa?" Newt asked, teasingly.
"Baabaa! Baabaa!" Corbyn cried out, sounding a bit more frusterated.
"Pass me his milk, will you?" Newt asked Frypan, his eyes remained on the baby. A small part of Newt was afraid that Corbyn would start crying. But fortunately, Frypan was quick and made the milk in no time, pouring it into a baby bottle and tossing it to Newt.
Newt caught the bottle and shook it in front of Corbyn, who immediately stopped his loud chantings of 'baabaa'. Corbyn reached out his hands for the baby bottle in Newt's hand, feeling hungrier as he saw it.
Newt let the baby take the bottle and Corbyn immediately put the nub in his mouth and started to drink. Newt smiled and shook his head. Corbyn had a huge appetite for a baby. Or were all babies like this? Newt didn't know. He only knew one baby.
After eating breakfast, Newt decided to take Corbyn around the glade and tried to do some work. He wanted to help the others. But the moment Newt was out of Corbyn's eyesight, Corbyn would cry until Newt came back. He sighed and decided that he'd just do some supervising that day.
Soon, the day passed and everyone was sat down eating their dinner. Corbyn sat comfortably on Newt's lap, one of Newt's arm across his pudgy baby body.
"Ey, let me hold him." Minho said with a cocky smirk on his face. Newt raised an eyebrow as if to say 'are you bloody serious?'.
Newt shook his head, already knowing where this will lead. But, he gave the bubbling baby to Minho. Minho's smirk grew wider when Corbyn didn't cry right away. Corbyn's attention was focused on the wooden toy Newt had made for him.
"I guess he's warmed up to you." Newt chuckled. At the sound of Newt's voice, Corbyn looked at him. It was then Corbyn realized that Newt wasn't the one holding him anymore. They toy still in his chubby hands, he made grabby hands at Newt. Newt only waved at Corbyn, making goofy faces.
"Aw, C'mon! I want some baby love, too!" Minho pouted while holding the baby up closer to him.
Corbyn started to whine and look back at Newt. Newt smiled at Corbyn, making silly faces at him again.
"Noot! Noot!" Corbyn's cute little baby voice said, trying to reach out for Newt. Hearing this, both Minho and Newt froze.
"D-did he just-..?" Newt asked, still shocked.
"Noot! Noot!" Corbyn cried our louder. Minho looked at the baby in his hands then at Newt.
"He said your name!" Minho said in astonishment.
A big grin made its way on Newt's face. Newt reached for the baby and laughed. Corbyn smiled when Newt held him, even wrapping his pudgy baby arms around Newt's neck.
"He said my name! He said my name!" Newt announced happily like a proud dad.
He's never felt so happy before. For the rest of the night, Newt had a proud smile on his face.
How can one little human make him feel so proud?
