Chapter 10 : GETTING KNOWING HIM
RECAP
" Fine. Zim accept your ridiculous challenge. " Zim said in annoyance and let me in his base to see around. This place changed a little since the last time I am here. There's probably more room in the base especially when there's Dab in Zim's life. Then I spotted a pair of antenna behind the couch and a pair of eyes sneakily peaking on the situation but immediately hide when saw me staring at him.

- DIB POV -
If someone asked me what is the most difficult situation you have faced. I bet the past me will say ' exposing Zim'. And if I can meet the past me who said such thing. I would laughed at them. Because the most difficult situation I have faced right now is at this moment. That is getting along with my own son. The past me probably gonna be laughing like a maniac and think I am an imposter or Zim controlling me or something like that.

It's funny of how I plan to expose this ... son of mine and Zim. But now those plan have all gone disappear because I have a son now. The least I could do is be a good parent.

But Dab is currently hiding behind Zim. Probably because he already see what I could have done. We have our little fight at the supermarket as our first encounter, not a good memory nor impression to have. Got tricked and hand cuffed on the end of the table. Maybe got him irritated of me.

But fighting with his mom? He probably angry or fear or dislike me? I am not certain yet.

Staring at how Zim comfort the little alien by patting his head somehow makes me smile? I have become weird ever since I know that Dab is my son. Is this what parenting does to you? It's weird...

" Dabourus, this is your father. Dib-stink. " Zim said with his half lid eyes while looking at the little Irken and me.

" Correction. It's Dib not Dib-stink. " I said and hopefully the son of mine didn't really think Dib-stink is my name. That would be bad. The little Irken take a few step forward so he can see me more clearly. " Dad. " he said, okay not so formal and casual sounding. Maybe getting along with Dab is easy after all. I mean he is just a child- " I don't like you . You hurt mom . " the little alien said in casual as if it's a yes or no situation. I take it back. I need a little more effort if I want this kid to trust me.

" Well, look at that. Dab doesn't like you. So bye bye Dib-stink!! " Zim said in a jolly mood. And was about to open his door to send me out. But I stopped him from doing that by standing in front of the door. " The deal is a month Zim. I can stay here for a month. And the last decision will be Dab's choice not yours. " I said reminding the deal we have not long ago. I smirked when Zim groaned as if, I could be the death of him if I stay here. Which probably is. And then I walk to the little one and hoping that I can fix our relationship.

" Dab, I am sorry. Can you give me another chance? " I asked. Hoping that he would say yes. While staring at him with hopeful eyes. The little one stare at me with their wide eyes, Dab then put on his glasses properly and put a hand on his chin in a thinking posture. " Hmm... what do I get if I say yes? " The little one said in curious tone.

I chuckled at this little guy here. Most child probably say yes or no. Or just state their prize. But the son of mine ask me instead about his reward. " tons of honey, and I will teach you about human culture " I said. The little one is amazed and immediately said yes. Making the smile on my face wider.

" Okay. What should we do first? It's the first time that I have a Dad. Let's make a pillow mountain!! I'll be the cool, strong Invader and Dad can be the victim. " The small Irken shouted in joy. With a cute evil look on his face. " Don't worry Dad I won't hurt you. " Dab said.

" Oh and mom can be the tallest!! " Dab said excitedly. Surprisingly Zim agreed.

So we spend an hour to make a big hill of pillow, a pillow throne, a big cardboard box that was cut to look like a computer or more like tv, a big box as a space ship, and many cereal box on the floor as buildings. We make them all in Dab room or chamber that's how the two Irken prefer to call it. And our roleplay has started. It's like a drama theatre that every parents will watch when their kid perform so it does make me proud to be a part of Dab life. To be something in his life.

Dab walk to the big box that look like a tv and saluted Zim that is standing across him. They are only separated by the cardboard box. " My tallest, Invader Dabourus is reporting for duty!! " Dab said proudly. And I can't help but record a video of him being a proud little Irken. Zim stand straight, " Invader Dabourus due to your greatness you're assigned to conquer planet earth. In that planet you will conquer many difficulties such as rain, water, beans, meat and many more. So this spaceship is yours " Zim said dramatically and point at the other big box. His face is stiff but his shoulder is shaking, I bet he is trying not to laugh at our son seriousness . Dab then saluted again and said " I won't fail you!! " before childishly run to a big cardboard box and make some silly sounds of a working spaceship.

After a few minutes of making silly sounds. Dab get out of the box and softly kick a few cereal box. " Fear me!! Fear me!! I, Dabourus the Great will conquer this filthy planet of yours!! " and that's my cue.

I kneeled one knee in front of Dab " Oh great invader Dab!! Show mercy!! " I said dramatically while trying to not laugh. Dab then sit on the pillow throne and smirked " My tallest has sent me to rule this filthy planet. How could I not?! " Dab said proudly.

Zim then laughed, I smiled at Zim and then look at Dab. " Great Invader Dabourus!! What if I offer peace to the Irken with honey? Will you ask the tallest to reconsider their decision? " Dib said dramatically and show Dab a small jar of honey in his coat. Dab turned wide eyes and look at the honey jar in Dib hand. " Ah, yes!! I will ask my tallest!! " Dab said excitedly making Zim and I laugh so hard that we cried. Oh my, my son is too adorable. I don't think he can be an Invader if he can be bribed with honey jar. But he can always be a scientist or Investigator!!

TO BE CONTINUED...
Happy news for y'all!! The next chapter will have a bonus of Zim flashbacks of when he is taking care of Dab. And Dib looking at Dab photo album. And I will draw the flashback scene and baby smeet Dab!! So can this chapter get 26 votes for baby Dab?
