"Are you kidding me Koltor?!" Zarkon growled as Koltor kicked him in the face as he tried to change his diaper.

"You aren't even in the womb anymore and you're still kicking me?" Zarkon whined.

He was struggling to hold in the last drop of patience he had. Elara never struggled with baby boy, he was an angel for his mother, but a little devil for his father. Elara and Cressida were good friends now, they were taking a little break in the mess hall, Elara made Zarkon watch Koltor, yes he protested but then Elara threatened him with no alone time yet again and it shut him up instantly, she had the turtle wrapped around her finger.

"How is that with your mother you're the sweetest child in the universe but with me, your father, the one who also to part in your own damn conception, you are a little, teeny, tiny terror." Zarkon questioned, he was talking to a four and a half month old who can't talk yet, wow. Koltor just stared at him and started bawling after he was changed and in the Space turtle's arms.

"Don't throw the child Zarkon, don't throw the child..." he thought to himself.

"Hey, hey, if you stop crying I will get you a bigger bassinet, I have to anyway so shhhh." Zarkon said. Koltor got silent.

"Thanks the gods..." Zarkon huffed.

But... Koltor started wailing.

"Mother fu-"

Mess hall-

"Your brother is one of a kind." Cressida giggled.

"Ugh, I know... thank god you're keeping on a mental leash..." Elara sighed.

The two ladies laughed about stupid things Sendak has done. Just then, Elara's ears were twitching.

"My mother senses are tingling..." Elara sighed.

"He's struggling isn't he?" Cressida asked.

"Yes, yes he is, let me go see which baby is crying now... it's either Koltor or the baby... it's late anyway, I'm getting tired." Elara said as she left the hall.

Space turtle and baby space turtle-

Zarkon heard the door open and his heart stopped. He slowly turned to see Elara standing near the doors, arms crossed, and a 😑 look.

"Hey there..." he said awkwardly.

"Give me my son..." Elara said.

Without hesitation, he handed her the bawling child who got silent the moment he realized he was in his mother's arms. Zarkon's jaw dropped.

"What's wrong? Was daddy being mean to you?" Elara baby talked Koltor who nodded, yes the four month old nodded, making Zarkon scowl.

"What the hell..." Zarkon sighed.

"Did you feed him?" Elara asked.

"Yes."

"Burp him?"

"Yes."

"Change him?"

"Yes?"

"Bathe him?" She already knew the answer.

"No."

"Ok then do that." Elara said, handing him the child.

"But-"

"No buts, just do it, it's not that hard." Elara said. Zarkon groaned in annoyance as he took Koltor into the connected bathroom.

"It's not that hard she says... bullshit, so much bullshit." Zarkon scoffed.

The moment Koltor was put into the tinier bath tub with running water, he started SCREAMING.

"DAMN IT!"

Mommy to the rescue of the vocal chord health and Zarkon's sanity. She knew this would happen, so she changed into a purple tank top and leggings, not trying to get her uniform wet.

"Move, I didn't realize it was amateur hour..." Elara scoffed.

"It's not that hard Elara, keep that in mind." Zarkon scoffed.

He was mortified when he saw Elara giving their son a bath with any trouble at all, no screaming, no crying, no angry splashing, nothing, he was laughing instead. He looked in the water and saw bubbles.

"I. Give. Up." Zarkon sighed and turned to walk out.

"Weren't you the one who said 'one more wouldn't be so bad' before he was born?" Elara asked, grinning evilly.

"Yes... I was wrong." Zarkon sighed.

"Congrats to you, I got my uterus removed... no more babies." Elara said as she swaddled Koltor into a towel.

"YOU WHAT? YOU'VE LOST YOUR MIND!"

"I'm kidding, I never did anything." Elara laughed.

"I can play that game. I don't have balls anymore." Zarkon said.

"You never did." Elara said, she already dried and put Koltor in a diaper, she sat in bed as he was now just nursing before bedtime .

"Ouch..." Zarkon mumbled.

"You played yourself by starting that..." Elara sighed.

"Yes, well, Cressida has better hair." Zarkon scoffed.

Elara gave a look that said 'bitch please.'

"Thace has better hair then you." Elara said.

"I don't have hair..." Zarkon said.

"Process of elimination bud." Elara said.

"I hate you." Zarkon scoffed.

"No you don't." Elara snickered.

"I hate that you're always right...."
