Chapter 42: The Naming And The Shaming


It was finally time for Sierra to have her baby back. As 18-Volt was carrying her back, she went "dah!", as she tried to reach for his glasses. 18-Volt chuckled as he said to her,

18-Volt: "Nah uh, we're giving you back to mommy now".

Selvian and I had our attention drawn by Harry and Joseph's chattering but also 18-Volt's loud footsteps.

Selvian: "You giving her back to Sierra yeah?",

Selvian asked Harry and Joseph. They both nodded.

Harry: "It's about time that the mum and baby get to have some bonding time together".

Sierra thanked 18-Volt for his initial care as he passed the baby onto her.

The baby now went "dah!" to her mum as she tried to smack her paw on her mum's nose. Sierra giggled but then also made a face at the baby, indicating that she was being naughty. As Selvian, Harry, Lester, 9-Volt, 18-Volt and myself were conversing with each other, Joseph went over to Sierra. Joseph asked her,

Sierra: "Hey, got a name for the little bubs yet?".

Sierra nodded,

Sierra: "I think I'd like to call her Cindy".

Sierra caught my attention. I turned my head to her direction and called out,

Karla: "Did I just hear a name!?".

Sierra: "Yes you did! It's Cindy!".

The group gasped in amazement. 18-Volt took it a step further by walking over to the stretcher and exclaiming

18-Volt: "Cindy!",

as he tickled her on the chin.

Then 18-Volt turned to the rest of the group,

18-Volt: "So, what are we gonna do now guys?".

I actually wasn't the leader of this project and so I turned to Selvian to see what his opinion was;

Selvian; "Sierra needs to be taken to her bedroom and she just needs to rest for a couple of days"

Joseph: "Yeah, that childbirth must have really exhausted her". Harry then thought, 

Harry: Say, I think I saw Todd with a female bear, brown hair, pink dress, white shirt... Uh, but it was quick".

Karla: "Ah, Todd was with Flo".

Selvian reassured that they were going to get Todd back now and he would also be spending time with his new sister.

Selvian: "You go mistress",

commanded Selvian,

Selvian: "And take 9-Volt with you, he hasn't had much to do here lately".

I gave Selvian a look, asking if 18-Volt was going to join us as well. Selvian paused and hesitated but then he decided,

Selvian: "We might need 18-Volt to calm Cindy when we're moving her and Sierra to their room".

18-Volt looked over at 9-Volt, devastated that they were were being separated but then he turned back to the teddies and grinned at Cindy. I find it quite odd how 18-Volt suddenly had the knack for babies, especially with this one.

I looked over at 9-Volt and gestured at him with my finger to come over to me. 9-Volt looked devastated that he had to leave 18-Volt for a while but he remembered the times he went solo in the Warioware games and then it wasn't so hard for him.

9-Volt: "So, what are we up to?",

asked 9-Volt, trying to engage in friendly conversation.

Karla: "Did you know that Cindy has a big brother".

9-Volt: "I heard something about that a while ago. Is it the kid that 18-Volt said likes bacon".

I nodded with a chuckle.

Karla: "Yep! That's the one! And I think you'll be seeing him for the first time

9-Volt told me that he was actually excited to meet Todd.

Florence's room was somewhere on the second floor.

Karla: "I haven't actually been here much but I think it's room 211",

I said to 9-Volt. He looked at me confused as to why I didn't claim to be at my own building much.

Karla: "I seem to practically be living with 18-Volt for most of my stay... Although I will be going soon".

9-Volt's face turned from a look of curiosity and amazement to yet another look of devastation.

9-Volt: "Y-y-y-you're going?",

he said with disbelief. My reply to 9-Volt,

Karla: "Well, you will be starting school again soon won't you? 32 and a half hours per week over there takes a lot of time away and so there's nothing much for me to do anymore. Anyway, I've served my purpose and I what originally set out to do".

We now seemed to be in a standstill when talking and 9-Volt's face had gone all weirdly trembly. He sighed,

9-Volt: "We're all gonna miss you, even mom"

Karla: "I will definitely miss this community too"

9-Volt: "So when are you guys going?"

Karla: "in a couple of days, today is Wednesday, we will be going on Friday, with all the planes we brought here of course, although I'll be going back via the airport".

9-Volt sighed again,

9-Volt: "Just don't say anything to 18-Volt, man, he's gonna be upset when someone tells him".

Karla: "I guess you'll tell him then?".

9-Volt nodded and we shook hands in agreement.

Karla: "You could always invite him over for games tomorrow. I actually want to come here for a good part of the day and help my guards pack"

9-Volt: "You know, you're a good leader",

9-Volt said to me,

9-Volt: "You don't speak much but that means you're not bossy. And whenever you get a phone call, you're always there straight away. When we catch up, 18-Volt always tells me about your newest emergencies and all the drama that happens in them; I'm amazed you've been so calm".

9-Volt, being the little figure he is, went in and hugged me on the hip bone.

We then continued to room 211 and heard a big burp through the door, the sound making 9-Volt feel slightly uncomfortable.

Karla: "You know who that is, right?"

9-Volt: "Uh, Todd?",

he guessed. I nodded my head, he was correct.

Karla: "I bet he's had too much bacon. I swear, he's going to become a Horace in years to come"

9-Volt: "Uh, who's Horace?".

I hesitated,

Karla: "On second though, you may not want to know. He actually eats furniture".

9-Volt gasped and put his hands over his mouth.

Karla: "Just be thankful he's not in Diamond City. May have consumed a good portion of 18-Volt's stereo or your fancy looking Nintendo 64 console, or you could even have a brand new, cleverly invented, three-legged bed!".

I gave the door a knock only to be answered with a very obnoxious sounding,

Florence: "What is it!?".

I decided to remain quiet as this was a usual tactic when my guards were rude to me on some occasions. It seemed as though for as long as I was quiet, Florence wasn't getting up to answer the door and rather, Todd just kept burping. So I called out,

Karla: "Florence! What on Earth is going down in there!?".

The door was opened straight away and Florence looked startled;

Florence: "Oh I'm so sorry I didn't notice it was you, this kid it driving me nuts!".

I looked at 9-Volt and then at Florence,

Karla: "It's okay, we'll take him now".

9-Volt: "That's Todd? He looks so adorable"

remarked 9-Volt as he then went over to Todd was lying on the couch and still burping. Unfortunately, Todd decided to left his head up and take a peck at 9-Volt's finger biting it;

9-Volt: "Ow!",

as he pulled it away. Both Florence and I looked shocked. I went over to tell Todd off while Florence apologised to 9-Volt and asked if there was anything we could do for him.

9-Volt: "No, it's okay, I understand he still might be hungry",

said 9-Volt to Florence.

Karla (thinking): "He's full and yet he wants to eat more?",

I thought,

Karla (thinking): "Absurd".
