A/N
I saw What If this morning and oh my Groot, I've been waiting to see either Itsy-Betsy Parker, Linda Duck or Shocket Raccoon and we got Linda and she's so adorable plus Darcy and Howard are great parents so I couldn't help but wrire something imagining Baby Linda and Baby Shocket being friends, growing up together. In this first one, Darcy, Howard, Nebula and Rocket are having a playdate at Nebula and Rocket's house and Baby Linda meets Shocket sparking a special bond pkus Linda is unaware of her being special, magical and Darcy and Howard might wait until she's older to tell her that story which she'd be stunned by.
I was made for loving you, baby. "Howard, what're you singing to your lil birdie as that don't sound like stuff normal Terran parents sing to their kits. Nebula's getting Emily and Shocket ready but it's great they can get together maybe be friends." Rocket told Howard as they were drinking coffee instead of what they normally drank.
"It's I Was Made For Loving You by Kiss, Rocket. It calms Linda when she cries or can't sleep, Rocket and bet you and Nebula sing to Emily and Shocket when they need it." Darcy said feeding Linda a bottle which made Rocket smile as he was Linda's godfather. It was a few months after Darcy and Howard's egg had hatched and Linda-Lewis Duckman was here, unaware of how special she was even when in her egg only Darcy and Howard had decided to wait, until she was much older to tell their lil birdie that story.
"Rocket, Emmy's ready but Shocket… she's being stubborn. Can you help." Nebula said to him.
"Yep oh Groot, Shocket's crawling without a diaper on. Shocket honey let's get a diaper on, then you can meet Linda okay." Rocket told her seeing her crawl towards Darcy seeing Linda look at her in awe like she was doing with her.
"I think somebody made a friend which is good. Ewww Shocket now you need a diaper." Rocket told her scooping up the mohawked female infant putting her on the changing table hearing Linda crying guessing she wanted Shocket smirking. "You made an impression on Linda you know." he said kissing her head after a clean diaper was on her.
"Now we can play hehe." Shocket mumbled. She knew her daddy couldn't understand her or Emily but they loved making him think they could talk wanting to teach Linda that game. Linda felt better seeing Shocket in the playpen seeing Shocket hug her making the infant duckling smile and Emily surprised. "Hey Emmy let's play the Talking Game and show Linda." Shocket said to her twin-sister making Emily smirk.
"Dada, dada." Emily said making Rocket's eyes widen and Emily and Shocket giggle along with Linda
"Darcy, Howard, Nebula, Emmy talked, I heard her this time." Rocket told them.
"Rocket, we talked about this, they're just babies, you're just hearing noises." Nebula said.
"Hehe it never gets old, Linda. I know one day we will talk for realises, so we gotta make the most of it." Shocket told her making Linda impressed making Emily stunned they were becoming friends as she did go to playgroup only Shocket had gotten kicked out of playgroup so Linda becoming her pal was a good thing.
"Here we go, juice boxes." Linda said smiling at Shocket making her and Emily nod.
They were toasting to friendship and their blossoming relationship making Darcy, Howard, Nebula andRocket agreeing knowing those two had a great future ahead of them only when it was time to go, Linda and Shocket weren't happy even though Howard and Rocket promised they'd see each other soon.
"She'll feel better after her nap, Nebula." Rocket told Nebula as he was cleaning up the mess from the antics that had happened plus he and Nebula had arranged a playdate with Darcy and Howard hoping things were okay at Darcy and Howard’s.
"That play date was a success, and Linda made quite a friend in Shocket. She's calming down after her bottle and is singing her a certain song. I hope Nebula and Rocket calmed Shocket down." Darcy told Howard.
They were back in their apartment home and had just put Linda down for an nap, after her first playdate with Shocket and making quite an impression in the mohawked raccoon infant but right now, she was asleep in her crib so they could relax for a bit only they loved being parents hoping the Ravagers, the Grandmaster and all the others had forgotten about their lil birdie being magical hoping she wouldn't display any of that growing up.
"She'll be okay, Darcy, she's got us and now she's got Shocket." Howard told her kissing her.
