Smiling Critters x Mother Figure Reader

Shopping!

"Yeah!"

DogDay yelled a little too loud, causing Hoppy to throw him a pillow. He grunts as he gets hit by the pillow behind the head. You giggle softly as he gets back up, confused.

"You should really watch your surroundings, Sugar."

You smile gently at him, helping him get back up. He shakes his head and looks up at you, smiling again. CatNap just observes, his tail swaying slightly. You carry DogDay in one arm and CatNap in the other.

"Okay, let's let your siblings sleep."

You say as you began walking out of your room, closing the door gently. Not exactly closing it, but enough to look like it was closed. Just in case if any of them got up and wanted to watch tv.

As you secured both DogDay and CatNap in a duffle bag, you placed it over your shoulder. You didn't want people questioning you while you shopped. It wasn't everyday that you saw some woman carrying around two plushy animals who could talk. In fact, you were pretty sure someone would freak out. DogDay frowned slightly, not liking being in the bag.

"Momma, why do we have to be in here?"

He asked you, with a sad tone. You sighed softly.

"Because, Darlin', I can't have you showing yourselves out in the open. It will...concern some folks."

You say as you walked out of your apartment, locking it before leaving. As you walked down the streets, you greeted some of your neighbors. DogDay continued.

"Concern? Why concern? We wouldn't do anything to anyone!"

He said while plopping back down in the bag, crossing his arms. You sighed softly, not knowing how to explain it to him.

"Oh, c'mon, Sugar. It's for the best."

You said as you made your way to the nearest grocery shop. After a little while of bantering back and forth with DogDay, he finally gave in. Making your way into the store, you grabbed a cart. You place the duffle bag in where usually your child would sit. DogDays head pops out slightly, looking around curiously. You remind him not to stick his head out too much, fearing someone might see him. Before entering the store, you went over a rule with them. If someone were to spot them, they would pretend to be stuffed animals. Considering they already fit the look, it wouldn't be surprising.

   CatNap joined DogDay, both of them looking around now. CatNap, however, wasn't as intrigued as DogDay. He soon sat back down, not caring enough.

   As you walked around the aisle, DogDay would pop out rather loudly, pointing at something he wanted. This caused you to shove him back in the bag, hoping no one saw you. You'd apologize for it later, but he didn't seem to mind much.

"Momma! Look over there! Can we get that?!"

   He yells rather loudly again. You sigh softly, reminding him again to hush down.

"Settle down, baby. Let me do my shopping first, then we can choose some items you and your siblings would like."

   You said to him, rather quietly. You didn't want other folks passing by thinking you were crazy talking to your bag. You would die of embarrassment just thinking about it. After a little while of replacing the foods you had to throw away, you finally let DogDay choose what he wanted.

"Now, you only get to pick two things each, okay?"

   You say reminding them both. Mainly DogDay.

"Okay!"
