Chapter 7
Dante woke up early to Vergil's whimpering, 'Oh no.' Dante sat up and rubbed Vergil's back, asking "Are you okay?" Vergil opened his mouth and it looked like he was talking but Dante couldn't hear anything. After that, Vergil immediately beckoned Dante to bring his head closer. As soon as Dante did as told, Vergil put his lips to his older brother's ear and said as loud as he could "I'm sick." Dante pulled his head away and said "Oh no." He picked up the young half breed and carried him to his room while thinking of how to take care of a sick baby.
The elder hybrid set Vergil in his crib and said "Stay here, I'm gonna look up how to take care of a sick baby." He rushed off and Vergil tried to protest but he couldn't make a sound. Vergil stood up and gripped the bars of his crib and whimpered, though it wasn't heard.
"Come back." Vergil said voiceless. He sat down and started to cry. Why would Dante just leave him here while he was sick and unable to see. He looked around even though he can't see. He heard Dante rush out of the room but now he can't see hear him at all.
Vergil stopped crying, instead he got angry.
"Damn you, Dante." Vergil said soundlessly. He wiped away his tears and laid down, deciding he doesn't want anything to do with his brother. Bad time, Vergil just noticed he was in a wet diaper. He tried to ignore it and huffed, upset. Why would Dante leave him here? He's sick and blind, plus so small and feeble. 'Bastard.' Vergil thought.
Dante came into the room and picked up his little brother, bouncing him gently and saying "Lucky you, you get to eat jello, pudding, watermelon, and fruit pops till you are better." Vergil just kept an angry face and his eyes closed, no point in having them open if he can't see. Dante frowned slightly, not knowing why Vergil is like this. Dante didn't tell him the other things he can have while sick, maybe if he told him then he would feel better. 'No, I'll surprise him with them.' Dante thought.
Dante settled his little brother on his hip and said "You also get to stay in pajamas till you are better." Vergil just sighed, it barely being heard. He felt that Dante was wearing a shirt now, he must have gotten dressed while looking up how to take care of him. Dante put his boots on and headed down the stairs and out the door. He got on his motorcycle and set Vergil in front of him before driving off.
Vergil whimpered for multiple reasons, he can't see the new environment, he doesn't know where they are going, and his wet diaper is starting to give him a rash. Dante rode to Market basket quickly, parking and getting off while picking up his little brother. He quickly strode inside the store, grabbing a cart and setting Vergil in the child's seat. Vergil whimpered and squirmed a bit, the pain growing. Dante noticed this and decided to embarrass Vergil a bit.
"Aw, do you need your diapy changed?" Vergil found Dante's hand and bit it roughly. Dante smirked and said "Naughty baby." Vergil ceased his squirming, tired of Dante's bullshit.
Dante started pushing the cart through Market Basket, grabbing some boxes of pudding mix and pudding cups. He also grabbed some whipped cream, boxes of jello mix, fruit pops, and some ice cream. As Dante walked past aisles, Vergil started to silently cry, tears pouring down his cheeks. The pain was intense. He wanted to scream and cry out, he already tried, but he can't. He has no voice. He needed something to grip, the first thing he thought to grab was Dante's shirt.
Dante noticed the young hybrid grabbing his shirt and twisting it in his hands, he looked down and saw that Vergil's shirt was wet from all his tears falling. Dante immediately started pushing the cart around the store until he found a mother with her baby and more importantly, a diaper bag. Dante patted his little brother's back and said "It's okay, I'll get you changed." He rushed over and said to the young lady "Sorry to bother you, but my little brother is having a terrible day. He's sick, he lost his voice, and now he's in a wet diaper with a rash and I can't change him because I forgot the diaper bag. Do you have a diaper, baby wipes, and some rash cream I can use?" The young lady immediately nodded and said "Of course!" She handed Dante the diaper bag and said "You take care of your little brother, I'll watch your cart." Dante thanked the lady and rushed off with Vergil and the diaper bag.
Once in the bathroom, Dante put the down the changing table and set Vergil on it, he removed his pajama pants and soiled diaper and started to wipe him clean. He then started to apply a generous amount of cream to the rash. Dante finished up and put the clean diaper on Vergil, saying "I know this is bad to do but I'll take the diaper off when we get home so the rash can breathe." Vergil just put his head down, defeated. He wants nothing to do with his brother but he needs him. Dante picked up the little half breed and held him close, resting the baby's tiny head on his broad shoulder.
Vergil was about to sigh but instead started coughing and gripped Dante's shirt to let him know it hurt. Dante rubbed Vergil's back and said "It's okay, let's finish shopping and we can go home, you'll take some medicine, and you get to eat as much sweets as you want." Vergil knew Dante said that to make him feel better, he also knew he was serious, too. Vergil weakly clapped his hands to show he is happy. Dante put the pajama pants back on Vergil and grabbed the diaper bag, heading out of the bathroom and back to the lady.
The young mother was cooing to her baby when Dante returned, she smiled at him and took her diaper bag back before saying "I took the liberty to put some medicine in your cart. I had a coupon so two of the four bottles of medicines will be free." Dante thanked the lady and went back to shopping. Vergil was wondering what the medicine was, he thought none of it would be bad, but there is one he definitely won't like, Dante didn't plan to use it unless necessary, knowing Vergil would hate him for using it. Though he did plan to scare him with it. The dreaded medicine, enemas, a babies worst nightmare.
Dante grabbed the rest of what he needed and quickly paid for it all, rushing outside and setting the groceries in the container attached to his hog. He got on and settled Vergil in front of him, peeling out of the parking lot and heading home. Vergil yawned and leaned into Dante, he was so tired. He faintly heard Dante say something, it took him a bit to register what it was he said, but it was "Don't fall asleep." Vergil silently whined and tugged on Dante's shirt to show he was unhappy. He didn't know that Dante didn't want him to fall asleep because they were close to home.
Dante parked his motorcycle and got all the groceries and Vergil and carried them inside. Once inside and upstairs, Dante set Vergil in his crib and said "I'll be right back." Vergil yawned and laid down, closing his eyes. He heard Dante putting the groceries away and then heading off into a different room. Vergil fell asleep for a bit and when he woke up, he wasn't wearing his pajama pants or diaper and he was laying on a towel. Vergil knew why Dante did this and he can't say he is angry, miffed, yes, but not angry. Now his rash is able to breathe and it doesn't hurt at the moment.
Dante sat Vergil up and held a spoonful of medicine in front of the baby's mouth and said "Open up, you need to take your medicine." Vergil just pursed his lips shut and turned his head away. Dante sighed but smirked, saying "Take your medicine, you know what happens to naughty babies who don't take their medicine." Vergil gave him the one finger salute and turned his head away some more. Dante lifted Vergil and swatted his bottom. But it was bare and he did it harder than he meant to, causing Vergil to take a sharp breath and start crying.
Dante set the spoon down and picked up his little brother, bouncing him gently and saying "Shh, it's okay, calm down and take your medicine and you'll get a treat." Vergil whimpered and buried his face in Dante's chest. The elder hybrid stroked Vergil's hair and said "It's okay." He started to rock him and it helped to calm him down. Dante gave him the medicine, which didn't taste as bad because Dante had chilled it.
The baby half breed was set in his crib on the towel and Dante had left to get his treat. He grabbed a little plastic cup of strawberry flavored pudding and a small baby spoon. When he went back into Vergil's room, the baby was sleeping soundly. The elder cambion went into the kitchen and put the pudding away and started making some lime Jello for when Vergil woke up.
A/N: Cambion is the proper term for half human and half demon. And it is not from Supernatural.
