The reborn primordial...

Parenting 101

The morning sun came and fell upon flowerfruit mountain as the waking monkeys began their morning chirps, Hopping their way over to one of the buildings the pilgrims stayed in for the night
Peeking in and seeing the active baby rolling monkey king's staff back and forth like a rolling pin, This sent the monkeys into panic as they hopped in and moved the baby away from the staff

The sudden sounds of distress produced by the monkeys caused the pilgrims to be woken up with annoyed groans, Sun Wukong sitting up and looking over with confusion as he scratched the back of his head with heavy eyelids
"What's the matter..?"

He asked tiredly before squinting at one of the monkeys grabbing his face and practically yelling, The news made the king shoot his eyes open with an expression of shock and disbelief
"It what?!"
He exclaimed in question and looked over to see one of his other subjects holding the baby far away from the staff, Wukong questioning how the hell the staff got out in the first place...

The monk sat up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, opening one of them as his vision cleared to see the baby squirming in a monkey's arms
Cleary losing the battle of strength
"Oh...Do you need help..?"

The monk asked as he blinked a few times to wake up, Wukong stepping forward and picking up the restless infant
"Don't worry Master, I'll take care of this..."
Wukong reassured with a yawn, He tensed up when he felt the baby suddenly stick it's tiny paw in his mouth

He responded after by hold the baby arms length away as he quickly spits out some blue hair
The baby simply smiled and giggled at Wukong's facial expressions, Making grabby gestures towards him and he tilted his head in confusion

One of his subjects chirped at him and he looked down, Listening
"Oh..! They wanna play..?
But... What do babies play? How do they play..?"
He asked and the monkeys began to move outside the building, Wukong following behind as the baby wiggled around

He watched the monkeys place 5 different objects on the floor and asked the king to sit down
"...Tummy time?"
He began to be guided along as he sat crisscross, The baby placed against his inner thigh as the objects caught their attention, a leaf, a fruit, a rock, a stick, and a bug

The baby seemed so focused on the bug that it started to stop moving so much, gnawing on their little paw as the end of their tail wags
"...this does... what exactly..?"
The sage asked as he looked over at the momma monkeys explaining, Unknowingly that he started to get more interested in the subject

"That's...Wow, A way to learn visual skill at such an early age..?
That's awesome!"
He exclaimed before remembering how much of a chore being a parent would be, bringing down his spirits a bit
"Any chance you guys can do all the hard stuff..?"

He just received a scolding of chirps and screeches as he put his paws up in defense
"O-okay! Okay!
Sheesh, Women are mean..."
He told as he sighed in defeat, one of the monkeys bouncing off his head as he squint his eyes in pain and even flinched... surprisingly
"Ow! I said I got it!"

He reminded as he rubbed the top of his head, Feeling the baby shift in his lap and saw it trying to chew his pants
"Don't eat that!"
He exclaimed in panic as he picked up the baby, Looking into it's doll eyes with a sigh of relief
"It's dirty, I don't want ya getting sick on me!"
