Undoubtedly, the conception of a child was something that, while Amelie had witnessed before, still managed to make her stare with unprepared awe. It was just that... every situation was different, every birth its own universe. On this particular occasion, there was a father to take care of most of the child's necessities, and that was good.
The brunette felt that Carlos, Dio and she were just mere spectators of the miracle of life; yet that enough was a reward on its own. Making sure to give the slightly distraught father and the newborn enough space so they could get acquainted with each other, the teenager just stared dreamily at the first interaction between Syre and her father, clicking into her that the Doctor would (or at least try to) do an amazing work.
Heeding to the Mikemon's words, but finding herself outran by Dio's diligence, she was relegated to watch the unfolding scene. And to smile to the newborn; the least she could do was making her feel comfortable, right?
"She's beautiful, Doctor. I'm sure that K would be proud if she could see her daughter." Maybe that wasn't the most fitting comment, given that it was kinda bittersweet. Yet... "Maybe I'm repeating myself but, if you need anything, you know I'm here for both of you."
Something that probably applied to the whole club as well, but she wasn't going to talk on behalf of people who weren't present at the moment! And maybe that could be Carlos' opportunity to snap outta it.

Honestly, Mikemon was at a complete loss for words right now. He gave a thankful nod to Dio as he sat down, carefully cradling around the YukimiBotamon. Right here, this moment would be one that the cat would both never forget, nor never really be able to explain.
His mind was both flooded with new responsibilities and schedules, racing at a mile a minute, but also calm and tranquil, focused on the crying child in his arms. It took a few moments, but Syre soon started to calm down, carefully nuzzling up right in Dr. Mikemon's arms. Those black, beady eyes met with Mikemon's own amber ones: held in that warm, comforting and gentle grip, Mikemon had already started to imprint on Syre.
"That's it... daddy's here." Repeating those words once more, Mikemon's ear gave a twitch at Amy's own: right, he wasn't the only person in the room! Giving a small chuckle, bringing himself 'back' to the conversation, the doctor returned a nod to the spirit wielder. "I do wish she could have been here... but you had to surprise us by being a little early, didn't ya?" Hearing Syre chuckle in response, he gave a smile - and nodded towards Amelie.
"Right, I know... ah, actually, I need to set up the crib, and... ah..." Just so much! The slime was already looking over in her direction, and with that, the cat gave a nod. "Could you take her for a minute or so, alright?" Should Syre cross hands, Mikemon would turn his attention towards Carlos and Dio:
"Sorry, now there's just so much to do! Just... help me make her bed?" The crib was already together, it was just a matter of getting the sheets in place. Mikemon could have done it himself, of course, but he was still trying to level himself out!

Despite his previous shock over the sudden wave of found feelings the duo was experiencing, Carlos found himself nodding in agreement with Amelie once again. For once, the prospect of having to baby sit a child didn't felt like something to be dreaded, he almost seemed to look forward to the idea.
"Yes, exactly. If you ever need help for anything at all Doc, we'll be there. I know we sound like a broken record but it bears repeating." He tried to avoid the fact the mother was not around to see her own daughter be born, even if he was sure K would be very happy to meet her hopefully soon.
He didn't have time to linger on that thought or the heartwarming scene between the Doctor and her daughter however, as Mikemon would soon ask for them to help out some, leaving the newborn under Amelie's care while they were tasked with preparing her crib.
"O-on it!" Dio perked up, going right for the small crib without really thinking. Carlos quickly did so as well, and soon both human and imp reached into the baby sized bed and grabed the neatly folded sheets on top of it.
To say Dio didn't have much of an idea of how one was supposed to tidy a crib (or a bed for that matter) would be an understatement, but following Carlos' lead proved to be easy enough, and a minute later the small crib would be all set, the soft tiny matress ready to receive the small white cat.
"There we go, all set for the cutest girl in the world." Carlos said with a frankly goofy looking smile. He had never done something like this before but for his first time. Still, there was probably more to be done!
"Does she need anything else? Food? Milk?" Surprisingly, it was Dio who asked this, his expression making it very clear he meant it and was taking this surprisingly seriously.

Maybe that had been something not called for? It was true that K wasn't here to witness her daughter's birth, but that was something that wasn't important at the moment. Better to focus on Syre's birth and make sure that it was happy as it could be. But it wasn't like she needed a lot of encouragement! After she had stopped crying, she seemed to be a pretty happy YukimiBotamon.
That... needed a crib, as Mikemon would soon notice. Suddenly, Amelie found herself on the receiving of the newborn; thrown off for a second, she quickly extended her hands, nodding at the Doctor while Syre found her way towards her.
Her cupped hands, drawn near her face, her eyes widened a bit as she watched the newborn with amazement. Gingerly, she shifted the baby's wight to one of her hands, a lone finger gently rubbing Syre's head with affection.
"Hey." The brunette cooed, a smile slowly growing in her face. "I'm your auntie. You're really lucky, you know? Daddy is a super nice guy. And mommy too."
Like that, she gently kept talking to Syre, making sure to keep her entertained while Carlos, Dio and Mikemon finished setting everything up. Considering how efficient they tended to be, that'd take no time.

A happy YukimiBotamon, who needed a lot of attention! Passed over to her auntie's care, Mikemon gave a nod over to Carlos and Dio, to quickly 'put together the bed'. It wasn't just a matter of smoothing out the sheets, either, but setting up the sheets for the first time! Honestly, Carlos would likely sort out most of the sheets himself, his comment earning a slight chuckle from the Mikemon.
"Heh. She's quite adorable, yes." Sheesh, he was completely lost on that wave of giddiness, and who could blame him? Placing that last pillow on the crib, he gave a blank blink in the Impmon's direction, the cat taking a moment to catch up on his comment. Food? Oh, right, formula! "I, um... well, at some point, yes." Better composing himself halfway through that response, he gave a more confident nod. Dio's serious tone had managed to snap the cat back to the present moment, the cat taking a moment to simply shake out his head.
"Don't worry too much about that - I haven't done it myself, but I have advised others on the topic. I just need to..." He took a breath, "Calm down, level out, keep my head here." He was still happy, of course, but just rushing around, stuttering, and speaking about how beautiful she was, wasn't going to do much for her good in the long run.
As for Syre herself? Hearing Amelie's calm tone, the baby digimon returned a smile of her own, giggling at a few of her words as the others worked in the background. Just like with Mikemon, Syre's eyes locked with Amelie's - know it or not, Syre had already started to imprint on the human, even this early moment building a strong connection between the two. It was enough for her to even settle down a bit in her arms, completely comfortable in the human's grip.
"But, seriously, thank you. I... won't try and ask much," the cat spoke to all three of them, "but I will need help, and she will need, well, 'role models'. Can't control everything, but I trust you all to help bring her up alright. Though..."
He chuckled, again. "This club's gonna spoil poor Syre..."

Finally the initial rush of giddiness seemed to be receding, the man finally returning to his senses. Right, the Doctor was on the right track as usual, they had to calm down some. Granted as they finished up setting up the cage the small imp couldn't help but look at Amelie and feel...the smallest hint of jealousy over the girl already getting to bond with the little kid. Why he cared so much? He wasn't quite sure, but it wasn't like he wouldn't get to do so himself during the following days, so he didn't complain.
"Don't mention it Doc, it's why we're here for."
The man said with a smile, his small partner simply giving a nod in silent agreement as well. They found themselves nodding some more as the cat said what kind of help he expected from them.
"Well I did work as a nanny for a couple months once, I know one or two things about taking care of kids. Not so much being a role model, though." He commented, glancing at Dio who simply shrugged.
"And I'll...try to keep the swearing to a minimun, if that's what worries you." The imp scoffed. Why was it so important to protect kids from having a "bad language"? They were going to learn those words eventually! Still, he couldn't help but care for the small child in some fashion, so even if he wouldn't say so out loud it was clear the Dark Lord would too look after the small cat.
But spoil Syre, he said? To that all Carlos could do was chuckle in response.
"Guilty as charged."

Of course that Amelie returned Syre's smile in kind; she wasn't sure on if she was doing well or not, but that didn't matter at all in the face of such reward. As a lone finger continued to gently caress the small SnowBotamon's head.
"That's ri~ght." She kept talking. "You're being a good, good girl. Daddy, uncle Carlos, and uncle Dio are gonna have your crib ready in no time~. Just wait a little more, and let aunt Amy take good care of you~."
It was a bit of an intimate moment, and even then, the brunette knew that this would be a relationship that would last for more than this short exchange. The foundations of something way stronger were being built, even if unwittingly.
The teenager barely caught the words that left Mikemon's mouth, too busy pampering her new niece to really pay a lot of attention to them, even though she caught the gist of it."You don't have to thank us, Doc. We're friends for a reason, you know? I'm happy that you've chosen us to participate in something as special as raising your first daughter. I'll try my best to not let you down."
Regarding being a good role model or not... well. That was something that only time could tell! But, for some reason, Amelie thought of the good doctor as somebody a little too uptight. Maybe she'd have to help the newborn get a good dose of freedom down the line.
When she became mature enough to have it, of course.

Oh, Carlos already had some experience? "Really? That'll be a great help - you've probably guessed, but there's quite a bit of difference between being a doctor and a caretaker." Returning a small chuckle, he gave a blink towards Dio.
The doctor was silent for a moment, blinking at that scoff - before he let out a laugh! "Dio, c'mon. I'm a sailor compared to you. I mean, I appreciate it, but that's something I have to watch out for way more than you!" Still, if Dio wanted to add himself to the 'swear jar' ring, he wasn't going to complain about that much.
As for Syre herself? Oh, she couldn't help but smile and giggle at the girl's words, nuzzling gently back at that caressing hand. Indeed, this was an intimate moment - the first few hours of a Digimon's life were definitely the most impressionable, and for a Yukimibotamon, the most curious. As Amelie came to talk to the doctor, the snowy slime-cat had already caught eyes of the other two, looking curiously towards the Impmon.
"Well, I'm going to thank you two anyway." Smiling towards Amelie, he'd reach out - carefully taking Syre, to offer Dio to hold her. "That's who you're looking at, Syre?" He chuckled, and gave a small step back.
Well, the cat couldn't get rid of all of the giddiness, at the moment. Though, he did perk up to Amy: "She took to you quite well, didn't she? Not all newborns do well with humans like that..."

"To be fair, I doubt taking care of human kids translates all that well into taking care of baby digimon." Carlos said sounding somewhat bashful, not wanting to oversell his skills for looking after children. Truth be told he had only been a baby sitter about three or four times in his entire life, once as a favour for a friend, the others because he really needed the money. In his defense, he had done a relatively good job during them, or at least he liked to think so.
"Hmph, yeah right, I haven't seen you swear a single time so far. I however, did it three times before I got here." Dio scoffed with a smirk, almost sounding proud of the fact. His attempt at boasting didn't last much longer as he'd notice Syre of all people was staring at him, and furthermore the Doctor saw this as the perfect moment to offer the imp a chance at holding her as well.
"C-can I? Really?" He'd reach out for the small cat, holding the baby betwen his arms, looking at her intently, eyes wides as plates with an expression not to dissimilar from a deer blinded by headlights.
Great, he got what he wanted and was now holding Syre...but now what?
Amusingly enough, the imp seemed rather unsure on how to deal with the little infant, the expression on his face one of meek awkwardness. It was honestly hard for Carlos to not laugh: the great Dark Lord, completely defenseless and rendered mute in front of a baby, now wasn't that some irony.
After a good moment or two of complete awkward silence however, the imp finally mustered up the courage to talk again.
"H-hey there, little one...I guess you can call me your uncle." He said with a tiny smile, as he gently patted the smaller cat's head with his free hand, doing so in an incredibly careful fashion, as if afraid the little girl would burst out into tears if he wasn't careful. "Uncle Dio, if at all possible." He added, his smile growing ever so slightly at his own words.
Yeah, uncle Dio. That had a rather nice ring to it, didn't it?
Regardless of how sucessful his close encounter with Syre had been, he'd eventually hand her back to the Doctor, just as slowly and carefully. "She's uhm...really sweet indeed."

I was funny how much the two digimon could talk about swearing and about how that was a pretty bad thing to do in the face of an impressionable child. Amelie herself didn't look too concerned about it, and truth was that taking care of Syre probably entailed prioritizing other things, but could she blame a parent for trying? The alternative wasn't very exciting, so probably not!
Even if unneeded, Mikemon thanking them was appreciated, and... after a nod, the brunette realized like all the good things in life, she had to let go at some point. As such, she proceeded to hand young Syre to Mikemon, who then passed her to Dio. Predictable, the 'Dark Lord' just stood there, watching the baby with a dumbfounded expression.
A small smile began to make its way towards the brunette's face as she leaned to the Doctor's ear and began whispering. "He's gonna be a great uncle for sure. I can already see it." That much she could say. This was probably the beginning of a beautiful relationship, despite the Impmon's apparent standoffish attitude.
Regarding the question that had been aimed her way, however? That smile became a little bit bigger! "That she did." Her tone was dreamy, and after a brief sigh, she added. "I'm super relieved for that; she's such a sweetheart that it'd have been a shame if she was afraid of me or something of the like."
Truthfully, she hoped this would be the beginning of a beautiful relationship. However... "She'll probably want to rest soon. Newborns tend to get tired fairly easily, and this probably has been an exhausting day for her already."

"Hey, its still better than nothing, isn't it?" Returning a slight chuckle to Carlos, and with a half-shrug given to that point, the doctor's ear flickered a bit at Dio's comment. To that, he just rolled his eyes - Mikemon knew that Dio was loose with language, but compared to how the cat was, that was nothing. Actually, Stingmon's annoying suggestion for a swear jar had done wonders for the cat already, so much that he might not have noticed that he was past the worst part of the habit.
Well. That was neither here nor there - not when Dio was holding Syre. The doctor gave a smile towards the stunned imp, as the YukimiBotamon was gently placed into her arms. For those first few moments, however, Syre seemed 'unsure' Perhaps she could feel that Dio was uncomfortable or 'lost', and the girl already found herself squirming, a discontent groan given from the cat. However, Mikemon simply brought an arm around Dio's shoulders:
"No need to be so tense, alright?" Just giving him those words, past those awkward moments, Dio started to speak. As he fell to a more natural pace, even 'petting' the slime, Syre managed to return a smile - and even a small chuckle, to the words 'Uncle Dio'! It took longer than with Amelie, but Syre had at least warmed up to him - though it was all too soon when Mikemon took Syre back.
"Mm, definitely a sweetheart." Cradling Syre for a moment, her ear twitched at Amelie's last point: the baby needed rest. Indeed, between crying and 'saying hi', she already seemed a bit winded, even giving a small yawn out at Amelie's comment. "Right. Um, Carlos, Amelie... in a bit, I'll get you two hooked up to the 'baby monitor' for the room. Just, um, don't go passing around the codes out willy-nilly, alright?" He gave a nod: "I don't want anyone else having them until Syre's used to them, is all."
With a nod, the doctor would move over to that crib, and carefully settle Syre in - the cat giving a confused noise as she was set down. "Boh?"
"Don't worry, daddy's right here." Smiling, and starting to hum to her, the doctor gave a brief turn, nodding to the other three in the room.

Truth be told, Mikemon's words of advice couldn't have come at a better time, as Dio was this close to panicking once he saw how uncomfortable Syre seemed to be. Luckily his confidence came back and manage to turn things around somewhat, the little baby even letting out a little laugh that made the imp's face lit up with joy. Why something so small was making him feel this giddy? He didn't know, but frankly he didn't care much either.
The little moment was over all too soon sadly, as the imp quickly handed the tiny blob back to the Doctor, sighing a bit. Ah well, he'd have plenty of other moments like that in the future no doubt. He returned back to Carlos' side, noticing the human seemed rather amused, or at least that's the impression he got by the man's smile.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing, nothing." Carlos innocently replied, still amused and moved by Dio's awkwardness-turned into-tenderness moment he had with Syre. Amelie was right, he was going to be a great uncle alright.
At any rate, their first meeting with the Doctor's daughter was nearing to its close, and soon the little cat would surely be sound asleep. As such the duo simply waited paitently for Mikemon to be finished, Carlos a bit taken by surprise by the mention of "baby monitors". If that was the case they would have to stay closer to the Library than usual, in case anything came up.
It was a big responsability, but it was one they were somewhat proud of having. Being called uncle was worth it.
"You can trust us Doc, we won't let you down." He reassured one more time, this time his voice barely louder than a whisper so as to not upset the baby.

Considering that she had just woken up, this day had been an interesting trip, if anything. Witnessing how a newborn got out of her egg was always a touching experience, and said newborn actually taking a liking to her that quickly was a really pleasant surprise! Amelie was elated.
However, the words had been hers, hadn't been? She had some experience regarding this, and knew that babies got tired really easily; Syre was just a newborn, so resting and building up energy so she could evolve was important.
What she hadn't expected, however, was for Mikemon to trust her that much; for some reason, the brunette's mind had assumed that the brown cat got along better with the more 'sciency' types, like Ayumi. But it wasn't like she would complain.
"Don't worry, Doc." One thing was for sure. She wasn't going to betray that trust. "I'm sure the others will understand if I just tell 'em to ask you if they want a code. You're the parent in here, after all."
Better to give the newly minted parent and her kid some breathing room. Making sure to make as a little noise as possible in the face if a sleeping baby, Amy waved at everyone present before making her exit from the room. Funny how she had witnessed all those events and interacted with everyone while still wearing her pajamas.
Maybe it was time to complete her nap? It sounded like a really~ enticing proposal at the moment.
