147 Budekdek's First Day in Room 7

After the brief gathering among family members, Edward, Baldur and Albrecht have left, while Magee led Damian to room number 7. Excitingly, the boy was trying to tame Budekdek on his palm. On the other hand, the couple met in their bedroom at room number 3 after George locked the door outside.

" Albrecht seemed in disagreement with Damian's stay. What do you think." Magee sheepishly said.

" He had reasons too, but he's a soldier who could trim down everything that imbibes his enemy. Hmm...but Dad and I agreed for Damian's stay with us and he whispered that he'd just talk to Albrecht to explain some things. We'll pray then...that he'll gonna accept this boy, soon." George whispered while smilingly looked at her and arranged on sides her messy strands of hair.

" Its a bit colder around tonight." He whispered.

" Yeah...its true." She smiled while her eyes caught drooping to sleep.

" I'll put socks on your feet, so that you can sleep better and I'll pile up another blanket for your comfort, may I?" He winked an eye on her.

" Sure, thank you." Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep after feeling a little warmer.

When George was left quietly watching at her, something beamed in his mind.

" She must be very tired and had absorbed the toxins of this war. Hmm...I'll try to fall asleep while looking at her start to dream. Dreams like it isn't wartime, we'll gonna have our baby, no sound of guns and grenades and those enemies must have vacated out of our grounds above. She isn't fine I know. I hope Damian can help her recover from losing our baby, hope so." Then George closed his eyes.

It's a sunny morning shining from the east when Damian knocked on their door and they let him in.

" Mama, Papa...Budekdek just woke up and I guess she wants to eat now. Can I feed her something tasty? Its her first day here, she must be very hungry right now." Damian smirked.

" Haha! oh boy! just tell us you're really hungry and its not just Budekdek, right? C'mon, bring your pet and Mama still wants to sleep, okay? Here, faster!" Then George was heading towards the kitchen.

" When I passed by here a while ago I thought this place have a special storage, I finally found one today." The boy smiled.

" Ah! haha....yes, absolutely! these are just green beans but if we boil them, your hunger will be answered. Let's just add up a little amount of sugar at it to make it tastier. Will you try just a mug of it?" George smiled

" I will try some. I'm just...yes, really hungry Papa." Damian bit his lip while George carried him to sit down on top of the table. In a while, Damian placed Budekdek on the surface.

" We should not fry her."

" Who?" George asked and pretended that he never knew who that was.

Boom! boom!

Damian immediately went down and embraced George shaking in fear, pressing George's hands.

" Paaaa.,..I'm...afraid. Don't fight against them. They have so many weapons." Damian cried while Budekdek was also chilling.

" Shh...sit back, c'mon, whenever you hear similar sound, you and Budekdek must hide and cover your ears. Don't run nor shout. Just keep your composure and stay calm, okay?"

" Papa...Mama kissed your shoulder, why aren't you wondering that she just did it while you talked to me."

" We liked each other very much while I see no one but her. That's why I don't turn my head the moment someone kisses me, I know its her doing it. Mama kisses Papa and vise versa because we want to assure one another that life is here and everywhere and there's someone that cares. Although that's the case but you can't do that to Budekdek, you can only carefully play with her since she has a lot of physical injuries. Look at her left knee, it bends when the other walks. So you must take her well, feed and nourish her.." George explained while Magee started to sit down on the chair and was smilingly listening at them

" Ah, I see. Yes, it seems I feel what she had been through. Hmm...but she can be a great friend. Just promise me and Mama on not to fry her when she grows up. Back at the bunk houses, they made all chicken as great viands." Damian seriously ended.

" Ah! haha! but not to Budekdek. Of course, we'll treat her well around as long as she's tidy.

" Alright Papa and Mama, I'll do everything as long as you won't fry her when she gets older.

Boom! boom!

Another blast unfolds the silence and back to its shaky ambiance. The little boy slid out of the table and embraced George's jeans and rolled his arms around the lieutenant. Out of pity and although felt the same fear but Magee immediately covered Damian's ears as George's held them tight while staring to nowhere, wanting to go down and had to fight face-to-face with the enemies.

" Shh...everything will be alright. They can't reach here, you know, Budekdek is here." George's said while Damian looked up on George's face and smiled.

" You're kidding Papa."

" Hmm...it can become true if we think Budekdek that way, who knows." George funnily uttered.

However, Magee secretly smiled and pinched his husband's hand.

" Ouch! see...Mama pinched me." George's trickery acted like collapsing and that he's hurt so Damian rescued him by listening to his heartbeat while the lieutenant put his back on the chair.

" Mama! Papa's heartbeats were so fast! come on here!" Then the little boy got down and ran to the next room where the medical tools were stored and tried to look something. While the couple was left, Magee was silently laughing and the lieutenant has just risen; grabbed her hand and had a stolen kiss but Damian's footsteps were getting back so the combatant husband acted to be unconscious again but Magee was left breathlessly laughing.
