Damian woke up. He looks around his room, he likes having his own room. He gets to put all sky space things in it! He has his own bed and toys and… he misses mama.
He used to share his room with mama! His mama! Soft mama! Mama is giving him a new baby to play with! He.. he’s not sure if he should yell for mama. Mama says sleep is important for the baby in his tummy. But he really wants mama.
“Maaamaaaa.”
He waits for a few seconds.
“Maamaaaa miss youuuu.”
He hears footsteps!! Mama!! He did it!!
Dami sits up and waits. But dada comes in the room instead!! He gasps. Old papa never used to come see him when he yelled. Dada grins at him and Damian reaches up. He knows he’s not supposed to… papa used to yell at him for that…
Dada picks him up though! Dami tucks his head under dada’s chin before he can be put down. He tangled his hands into dada’s white hair.
Papa never picked him up when he yelled. He’d yell at mama! He was mean to mama. Didn’t ever buy Damien stuffies like dada does.
Mama always says Damian is just a baby! And he is!
“I’m a baby!”
Dada shakes with laughter and kisses his head. “That’s right, Dami. You’re just a baby aren’t you. A little baby.”
Dami smiles. “Mama? Want mama.” Dada kisses his head again and starts walking. “Mama should be asleep but he probably felt me get up and stayed awake. He needs to sleep more.”
Damian isn’t sure what all that means. He’s sleepy! But he needs mama. Mama and dada. Together “sleepy with mama?”
Another gentle laugh, “I’m sure mama will let you sleep with us, yes baby.” They turn again and suddenly Damian can see mama!!
He wiggles until dada sets him down on the adult bed. He crawls up the bed to mama’s face. Mama smiled at him! “Mama!!”
“Hey babydoll, isn't it sleepy time?” Damian smiles a little and yawns. “Needed mama… DADA-”
“Woah little one. I’m right here no need to yell in mama’s ears.” Damian twists around to see dada laying behind him. He has a hand on mama’s tummy. Dami gasps. “Baby?”
Mama laughs a little. “Yeah baby there’s a baby remember? You wanna feel?” Damian nods. He forgets why mama has a baby but a baby means Damian’s baby too mama says he gets to be a big brother. Dami wants to be big!!
Dada takes Damian’s hand and puts it on mama’s tummy. He doesn’t feel anything until suddenly there is a thud on his hand. He jerks away- “AH! Kicked me!”
Mama laughs a little and brings his hand back to the spot, “didn’t kick you, she was saying hello to you.” Dada leans over Damian and kisses mama. Damian likes watching dada kiss mama. Papa never did that. Mama looks happy. Like when Damian is allowed to have more bath time!
Damian crawls back up so he’s in the middle. He’s extra sleepy now. Mama rolls over onto his side and pulls him closer. Dada presses a kiss onto his head before he puts an arm over Dami and mama. Damian feels safe. It’s so warm and mama and dada smell so good. He can’t help but slowly slip into sleep while thinking about how much he loves his mama and dada.
