Part Time Star Full Time Dad - Chapter 39
[First Pov Theodore]
After seeing Mom and Dad leave I went to wake up Rose.
I quietly climbed the stair and approached the white door covered in stickers.
I slowly grasp and turn the door handle before unhurriedly pushing it open. Unlike our old home Rose’s room was full of personality.
In our old house, the only thing we could afford was pink paint, some furniture and children books.
So when it came to the new house I went out of my way to make a room that she would love to sleep in. The walls were painted to look like the most enchanting and mystical forest’s with fairy’s and other magical creatures to inhabit it.
A large board filled with pictures of her and me. A little purple wardrobe, with a dresser and large standing mirror.
On the ceiling was a set of small star-like lights that doubled as a night light.
I also got Rose a nice big dollhouse which we put together and had a Hotwheels track going through the windows and scaled a portion of the wall.
A child-sized table and chair that had a colourful tea set on top and a bunch of stuffed animals which sat nicely on the chairs.
A pink toy pram with a toy baby that frankly freaks me out. A small pirate ship with a large treasure chest filled up to the brim with toys. I scrapped the old baby cot and decided it was time to upgrade to a bed.
Her bed was something I asked David to make. Why did I need a mechanic to make a bed? Well, because I wanted the bed to be a bit of metal and wood, which he had experience in both.
What I had him made was a polished white horse-drawn carriage that came from the Cinderella story which I had previously told Rose. I then did some detail work with a thin brush to give it that fairy tale vibe.
Instead of seats, it was a comfortable bed with wheels for legs and a rocking horse with the saddle opening up for more storage. When Lily first saw the room she cried to Sam(Samantha) and David for the same bed.
The size of the bed was just big enough for me to lie next to her and tell her stories and I would sometime just sleep with her.
While walking in I saw that Icy had already woken up and was sat next to her bed with his tail wagging side to side excitedly waiting for his friend, Rose to also wake up.
Rose was tucked in nicely with a small teddy bear in her arms, her short blond hair stood up like typical bed hair. Her small nose was poking just over the blanket and her eyes were closed peaceful.
‘So precious, well it’s time to ruin it’
I walk up to Icy and rub little guys head before saying “tell her what time it is, boy”
Icy gave an excited bark “Woof” and jumped on the bed and rubbed his snout into the sleeping Princess face.
Rose began to turn her head away desperately before she pulled the blanket over her head and said “Bad Icy, Bad daddy”
I then lift the blanket at her feet and Icy runs in under it to continue his routine wake up method.
Things go oddly quiet as I hear Rose whisper lightly “Shhh Icy”
I didn’t have to wait long to see what she was up to as she springs up on her feet with a blanket over her head. She then threw it at it me to which I caught in my hand earning an unhappy pout from Rose “Bad daddy”
I give a light chuckle before grabbing her by the armpits and throwing her in the air.
“Ahhh! Hehe, stop no tickling” Shouted Rose before I tickled her.
I then kiss her on the head and ask while smiling “Good, morning Sleeping Beauty”
Rose kissed me on the cheek and shouts “GOOD MORNING!”
“Okay, let’s go enjoy another day,” I said with a fist pump to the sky.
Rose replied with her own fist pump while saying “Fun Day!”
Not wanting to be left out Icy jumped happily up off the bed into my direction “Woof, Woof”
I quickly move Rose to one arm and catch Icy in the other and said “Gotchya, now let’s get going”
Sadly Rose had taken a number 2 in the diaper so I lost my senses of smell for the next few minutes. I say sadly because I’ve thought that it’s about time we started potty training.
‘I’ll just put diapers on for her naps and for her bedtime. Its gonna be difficult getting her to get used to panties’
After giving Rose a quick face wash, I made breakfast for her which was just a bowl Weetabix with fruits and a cup of lemonade. While Icy had a nice bowl of Dog food and water.
Then came brushing Rose’s and Icy’s teeth. After that, we sat down watched some morning cartoons and just chilled for a good hour.
After chilling, I applied some suntan lotion on Rose and myself before putting on our shoes and taking Icy for a nice walk around the neighbourhood.
We went back home had a nice swim and played shark. Yes, I had taught Rose and Icy to swim in the first week and after a few fun lessons, they can both freestyle, Doggy paddle and float.
We played around some more before having lunch and putting Rose down for her nap.
I called Sophie and invited her family over for dinner and told her that my parents wanted to catch up. I also said that they can stay over if things get late. I then did a quick clean of all five spare rooms.
While cleaning I had my clones begin prepping the food for later. I was then forced to send a clone grocery shopping as I had essentially used up most of the meat I had.
While one clone was out grocery shopping me and my other two clones got to working on the logic science that Batman likes to spout, every now and then.
So I had two of my clones get familiar with this world scientific breakthrough while I looked over the military science, like their progress in an exoskeleton’s or some sort of nimble body armour.
Luckily, body armour is still relatively still clunky and exoskeletons are still under research. Science in this world is understandable leaps ahead with renewable energy being the main form of energy.
Although what happened with the subconscious V.R was a sad result it stills stands to be something that will go down in history as incredible step for neuroscience.
So with that knowledge, I did nothing with it as Batman’s intelligence isn’t shown through how technologically advanced he is but how he can adapt to the situation and prepare the right weapon or tactics to take down the villain.
I quickly started drawing Batman’s origin story. It was only ten minutes into drawing my phone went off telling me to wake up Rose again.
I did just that and entertained her for a good hour before hearing a set of footsteps come through the backdoor and shout “Uncle Theo, Rose, Icy, let’s play”
Instantly I recognised that voice belonging to Lily. It was round about the time that Lily finished school so it was normal for her to come over.
It might seem strange that she somehow cane through the backdoor with having to stop at the gate that connected to an 8ft bush wall surrounding my house.
Well, actually David and I made an archway entrance on the bush wall in the backyard. This way Rose and Lily could go back and forth between houses safely without having to wait at the gate.
Lily, Rose and Icy quickly ran upstairs to play in the bedroom. I left a clone to sit in my room in case they call for me.
While they were playing, I got to cooking everything I knew how to cook and some other dishes that I searched up.
Mom got off work early and joined me in cooking before getting herself changed.
David and Sam were the first to appear with a tray of lasagna which was a call back to the first time I visited them.
*Ding, Dong, Ding, Dong*
I hear someone use the gates bell and run to the front door to check the mirror that displayed the front door camera and the gate camera. I open the gate and wait outside my door waving at the car pulling up to my driveway.
Stepping out from the was Sophie, Uncle Mark, Aunt Amy with baby Chloe looking to have a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Everyone appeared to be wearing some fairly casual clothes.
After seeing Sophie I couldn’t help think ‘It had only been what, like? Like two days since I saw last her but I think I might have short term memory because her legs and ass are thicker than what I remember’
Surprisingly Sophie is not wearing something revealing like a crop top or booty shorts, nope just a pair of skinny dark blue jeans and a mustard yellow hoodie with her long green ombre hair braided and draped over shoulder.
‘Noice’ was what my caveman’s brain commented with a mental image of me flexing.
However, those skinny blue jeans are really boasting her thiccc assets.
“New style,” I said while gesturing to the braid
“Yeah what you think, I was going for a vicious Viking arrr” Said Sophie while snarling
“Less Viking more Princess but it’s cool nonetheless,” I said
Sophie gave me a friendly punch to my shoulder and said “Aww thanks bud you’re pretty cool too”
“No worries pal,” I said also giving her punch but very lightly
“I like the place, how’s about a tour,” Asked Sophie before closing in and continuing to whisper “you can show me where the magic happens”
“Hahaha, I’ve already done my performance for today,” I said shrugging her off
“Tsk Your no fun,” Said Sophie while bumping me with shoulder
“Come on let me introduce you guys to my friends David and Sam. Oh, moms upstairs she just getting her cleaned up” I said dragging them into the living room.
