(mini-chapter)
The Ortiz family had visited Keith's grave.
"This is your older brother Keith." Duchess Frida said to Nolen who was being quiet.
"He's being awfully quiet today." Kai said.
"That's because he knows what's going on." Abela says.
They all stayed silent.
Til' Vincent sprinted to the Archduke.
"Master!!" He whispered something.
Making the Archduke's eyes widen in surprise.
"We have to go." Archduke Edward told the Duchess.
"But the baby.." Duchess Frida replied
"Leave him to the kids." The Archduke says rushing out.
Duchess Frida hands Nolen to Kai who made Nolen sit in his arm.
Duchess Frida waved goodbye, and followed the Archduke.
"How do I hold a child?" Kai was flustered.
"Uh, just don't drop him." Abela said.
They leave the place, and head back home.
Kai sits Nolen down on the table, not knowing what to feed him.
"Isn't he breastfed?" Abela asked.
They panicked.
"Wahh!" Nolen started crying.
Abela sprinted to the Kitchen and grabbed a banana. She mushed it using a fork, and grabbed a small spoon.
She returned, with Kai saying "peek-a-boo?" Making Nolen cry more.
"Stop that, you're asking yourself to peek a boo." Abela said placing the plate with the mashed banana.
She scooped a small amount and hesitantly placed it on Nolen's mouth.
Nolen kept crying at first, but when he tasted the banana, he grabbed the spoon, and licked the banana off.
"Wah!" He made a sound.
Abela shoved the plate near him, and Nolen messily scooped the mashed banana and barely getting a taste.
Abela and Kai sighed, as they figured out how to feed him.
They turn around just a moments, and they smell something terrible.
Nolen bursted into crying, and when they turned around, the mashed banana was all over him, and it seemed like he poo-ed himself.
They rush to him panicking.
"You do it." Abela said.
"Why me?!" Kai panicked.
"I fed him." She sprinted away, leaving Kai alone with Nolen.
Kai groaned and grabbed Nolen by the armpit and rushed to the bathroom.
He quickly removed himself, with some dirt on his shorts.
"Ack!" Kai panicked.
Kai carried naked Nolen to the bathtub.
Kai was kneeling on the side, as he washed Nolen's bottom.
He saw some soap that none of them use, and it was titled "Baby" on it.
So he washed Nolen with it.
He sat Nolen down the counter, and patted a towel on him.
He carried Nolen, with a towel wrapped on the baby.
He went to the baby's bedroom, and Abela was there setting his clothes.
Kai entered, "Done." He was panting.
Abela chuckled, as he dressed Nolen.
After awhile, Abela and Kai sat on the floor, and Nolen was too playing with his toys.
They were exhausted.
"Wah~" Nolen made a sound, making the two siblings jolt up.
It was just Nolen, handing them a wooden block.
Abela sighed, as she went closer "What do you want me to do with this?"
Nolen just started laughing.
They played the whole day.
...
"I'm worried." Duchess Frida said, looking for the kids.
"They must be at the baby's bedroom." The Archduke says.
They enter the room, and the moonlight shined on them.
Abela, Kai, and Nolen were sleeping on the floor.
Nolen was laying face down on Kai's chest, and Abela was leaning on the bed.
"Awe, they must have been so tired." Duchess Frida says.
But then she paused, and smelled something.
She went to Nolen, and sniffed his clothes.
"He smells like you." Duchess Frida says to the Archduke.
"I don't have a scent. Unless..." The Archduke thought.
Duchess Frida chuckled "They must have used your soap."
"It's not my fault the scent was baby." The Archduke sulked.
