(Orginal chapter 5 written by xXgabystarXx)
Having arrived at his home, he saw Gilbert's car and smiled. It was a beat-up pick up truck, and Matthew remembered how many times they had fled from the cops together. Ah, the good times.
Getting the stroller out from the trunk, Matthew popped it open with some struggle, and carefully picked up the three-year-old and placed him inside.
Closing the trunk, Matthew opened his front door, and saw Gilbert on the couch, watching old reruns of fear factor.
"Gilbert, you hoser, I'm home." Matthew set the carrier down on the couch and went to get the rest of the stuff.
"Guten Tag to you too birdie. Lemme take a look at the little guy...or girl. Or both?" Gilbert rubbed his head and cocked an eyebrow.
"It's a guy, don't worry." Matthew sat down on the couch with a sigh. "But what the fuck am I supposed to do with a kid? I can barely manage myself!"
"I could definitely help. I raised west didn't I? He turned out great!" Gilbert said with a big thumbs up. "Also don't swear! The kids staring at you from his carrier."
"D-daddy?" Alfred was holding onto the rabbit tight as he stared at Matthew.
"Do I look like-" The Canadian sighed. "Ya know what, sure, I'm your dad kiddo."
"Matthew, I think you need to be less of a smart alec and pick up the kid. Humans need affection, hold him, sing him a song, feed him. Just do something!" Gilbert stood up and stretched for a moment. "Now if you excuse me, I'm headed to the kitchen to get more beer. Bond with the kiddo."
The moment Gilbert left for the kitchen Matthew sat tbere staring at the kid. Alfred stared back, now chewing on the ear of the worn rabbit. Sighing to himself, he unbuckled the carrier and picked up the little guy.
"Heya there, welcome to the house, you'll be living here from now on, and you'll be coming with me to meetings and stuff. Any questions?" immediately after he said that, Matthew felt like an idiot.
"Hungwy." Alfred took the slobbered on ear out of his mouth and then kept repeating the word. "Daddy I'm hungwy."
Matthew paused before screaming loud enough for Gilbert to hear. "BRO WHAT DO TODDLERS EAT?"
"SOFT FOODS!" Gilbert shouted back and headed over to the couch.
"Thank dude." Matthew carried Alfredo to the kitchen and looked around. "Uhhh....applesauce? How's that sound."
"Hungwy." Alfred's eyes just stared into the adults soul.
Matthew shivered, setting the kiddo onto the table and pulling out the giant jar of applesauce he had. Putting some in a bowl and setting it in front of Alfredo, he watched as the kid poked at the sauce before shoveling globs of it into his mouth.
'Kids are weird as hell.' He thought and sighed. Matthew was in for a hell of a ride.
