Bath Time

Nebula was already home with her son while waiting for her husband with Raven to come home. She was concerned about Neptune's nightmare and what it was that he dreamed about. She'll have to wait for tomorrow to ask her friend Silver to see what the nightmare was about with his powers.

Right now she took her son to his bedroom to change his diaper. She removes the soiled one and cleaned Neptune's bottom, then using baby powder and finally putting on a new diaper. Nebula couldn't help but smile at how cute Neptune looked when he was looking at her.

"Can any eyes get bigger?" Nebula chuckled and picked him up. Neptune nuzzled against Nebula's chest and cooed lowly. Then the front door opened and Shadow and Raven arrived.

"Oh hi Shadow and...Raven what's wrong?" Nebula noted Raven's sad face.

"Nothing Mommy" Raven muttered sadly.

"We'll talk about it later after dinner" Shadow said.

-

During dinner, Raven barely ate her food due to being at the principal today.

"Raven, please eat your food" Nebula said to her.

"I'm not hungry" Raven said a bit sad.

"Raven. You did the right thing. You defended your school from the Babylon gang" Shadow said.

"The Babylon gang?" Nebula's eyes widen.

"Yes, these annoying birds bully a lot of kids at that school, but Raven scared them away using her powers" Shadow said.

"Wow, that was very brave of you, Raven" Nebula said, "But they didn't try to hurt you, did they?"

"Not even once" Raven said.

Nebula smiled softly at her daughter and pats her shoulder, "You are becoming more like me and your father even at a young age"

Neptune was playing with Midnight the non-mobian cat in the living room. Midnight was told by her owner Nebula to be nice to him and to make sure he doesn't scratch him.

"Bwehehehehehehehehe" Neptune giggled, nuzzling on Midnight's soft fur.

"Meow" Midnight meowed happily and nuzzled his cheek on the baby hedgehog.

"So what did Rouge say, hon?" Nebula asked her husband.

"That it would be difficult to make a spacecraft to travel so far into space using my ship's technology" Shadow said.

"Yeah, it's been 5 years that it hasn't been repaired. As much as I wanna travel in outer-space but I'm a little nervous. Never in my life have I ever been to outer-space" Nebula said.

"We'll try. Also we need to find out more about Mephiles and even banish him" Shadow said.

"Yes, but he can return again if we try" Nebula said.

"I know it's tricky but we have to try. I don't want to lose you again" Shadow said.

"Me either. I don't wanna lose you or our children. They can't live without us" Nebula said, hugging her husband.

Shadow pets Nebula's ponytail quill and sighs, "We'll try our best"

"Bwa...ga" Neptune crawled up to his daddy, reaching his arms out that he wants to be picked up.

"Come here buddy" Shadow picks him up, allowing Neptune to play a bit on his chest fur. Neptune also bit the fur too, but he has not gotten teeth yet.

"He really does look a bit like me with the fur color" Nebula smiled.

"Yup. And he's got my quills shape I see. And he sure likes to play with me" Shadow cradles Neptune.

"Ga ba ba" Neptune gurgled.

"But I'm a little concerned with what he dreamed about at the daycare. Cream told me he had a nightmare" Nebula said.

"It's just an ordinary nightmare. Everyone has it. It's no big deal" Shadow said reassuring.

"But still, babies that have nightmares can get very scared that they don't wanna go to sleep" Nebula said.

"We better let Neptune sleep with us so he gets more comfort. Right son?" Shadow said and asked Neptune who only nodded, "I take it as a yes. But anyway, same thing happened to Raven when she was a baby, she wailed for nearly half hours when she got nightmares" Shadow said.

"I did not, daddy" Raven crossed her arms.

"Did you? Hmmm. Well that's different" Shadow said, handing Neptune over to Nebula.

"Aww mommy's boy wanna play with mom?" Nebula said to Neptune sweetly and goes in the living room, laying on her back and lifts him up and down from herself in front of her, making the hoglet giggle.

"Up and down and up and down Neptune" the mother said.

"Bwahahahahahahahaha!" Neptune laughed at his mother lifting him up and down repeatedly. Raven goes up to them and couldn't help but say 'aw' at this.

"Mom, do you think I can take a bath with him?" Raven asked.

"I have to be there if he needs a bath. He's so young" Nebula said.

"Okay!" Raven cheered and ran to the bathroom.

-

Moments later, Raven was in the bathtub filled with soap bubbles. Neptune was lowered into the water with a floating ring around his waist and floating pads on his arms. Nebula was watching the two leaning on the edge of the tub.

"Wabba wa wa!" Neptune squirmed in the floating ring.

"Hehehehe... Neptune. This is Mr. Ducky" Raven held out a rubber ducky to Neptune.

"Wa? Hehehehehe" Neptune examines it and drops it into the water, making him giggle a bit.

"Neptune, this is the Spaceship toy. Watch this. VRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHH POW!" Raven showed Neptune a toy spaceship, spinning it in the air and makes it crash in the water.

"Hehehehehe....." the baby hedgehog giggled and clapped his hands cutely.

"Enjoying the bath?" Nebula asked Raven and Neptune.

"Yeah mom, Neptune seems to like the water" Raven said, "Except for Navy that can't swim. He's just like his dad"

"Comes in the family" Nebula said.

"Bwaa!" Neptune splashed water at Nebula's face.

"Neptune!" Nebula chuckled and dries her face with a towel.

"Ehehehehehehehe" Neptune giggled cutely.

"You silly boy" Shadow chuckled at his son.

"He enjoys the bath" Nebula said. Raven then swam to Neptune and held out a toy boat to amuse him.

"Hooonk hooonk!" Raven imitates the sound of a boat horn.

"So tomorrow is Saturday. Which means no school and no work. And I hope that Mephiles won't think of anything to escape. He's growing weaker for a few days by now" Shadow said.

"I hope so too. Also that Neptune won't get any nightmares again. I'm really worried" Nebula said.

-

After the bath, Shadow dried Raven and Nebula dried Neptune with towels. Neptune was moving too much because he wanted to take a bath again.

"Don't worry, sweetie. You'll get another bath next time" Nebula said.

Neptune huffs in defeat and folds his chubby arms. Once he was dry, Nebula puts a new diaper on him and she picked him up.

"I guess you loved the first bath you had. But now its feed time" Nebula said, about to give Neptune his milk in privacy. Raven was getting dressed into her pajamas since its bedtime soon.

"Mommy, how come everything floats in outer-space?" Raven asked.

"That's simple, sweetie. There's no gravity in space" Nebula said.

"Oh okay. Where did daddy come from?" Raven asked again.

"Ummm, I'll tell you when the moment has come. You don't wanna know how it was there" Nebula said.

"Okay. Was it a meanie place?" she asked.

"Sort of. But Daddy will always be good. Now it's time for bed, I'm gonna give Neptune his milk" Nebula said, giving Raven a kiss on her forehead.

"Okay. Goodnight mommy" Raven ran to her room.
