Junior huffs as you two have to cuddle around the baby, his non-broken wing wrapped around the unlikely trio. Your arm was wrapped around him, as you had to take care of this bundle of joy.

You, were elated. He wanted to fly into glass until his brain turned to mush. As he felt you lean against him, his feathers bristled up, and he felt himself become warm at the feeling. He shook it off of his feathers, allowing his bill to face away from you and the baby.

The next morning, he wakes up to his feathers suddenly preened and he sat up. He rubbed his eyes and looked forward into the field, watching you run around to amuse the baby, before sitting down beside her.

He was.. confused, to say the least. He didn’t know why you were so happy about this little.. gremlin. He hated babies. Right? Yes. Absolutely. He’s going to be boss and all of this is going to be swept under the rug. He doesn’t care about that.. thing.

He got up and walked over to you both, his wing still in the cast, not wanting to talk about the night before or ask why his feathers were preened. He sighed.

“ Hey, come on, we have to go. Being the boss of Corner Store is closer and I can feel it! “

He said proudly trying to hurry the both of you up, but only upsetting the baby and causing you to have to make silly faces at her to keep her calm.
