Pt.3 Little!Robby Cg!Jack (4k words)
Jack tried his absolute best to see if Robby was regressing, it was almost impossible to tell because they havenât had a day off together in a few weeks.
Both men had to cover peoples shift the past few weeks since everyone was getting sick.
Jack has barely even spoken to Robby , it wasnât intentional but they only saw each other at hand off or if they had to pull a double.
They were finally home together a few days later and were lucky to have the next five days off.
Jack had worked a double, the ER needed an extra set of hands. He couldnât wait to go home with Robby, he can only imagine how much Robby has been beating himself up.
Finally their shifts were over , they both did hand off walking to the locker room to get their stuff.
âWe will have dinner together tonight? I was thinking we could order dinner ? Does that sound ok?â Jack asks Robby as he put his jacket on and Robby tied his shoes.
âYeah thatâs fine , you can pick . I donât mind what we haveâ Robby replied standing up and grabbing his bag. He waited for Jack to be ready , not wanting to walk out alone.
Jack had reached out his hand , offering it for Robby to hold. Robby gently grabbed it and held jacks hand. They both walked out to their cars before separating into their separate vehicles.
Jack had left before Robby , Robby sat in his car mentally preparing himself for what awaits him at home. This is the first time since the night Jack found out.
Robby feared he would regress the second he parked the car.
Robby took a quick breath before leaving the hospital.
Pulling into the driveway, Robby parked the car and hoped he would be able to hold off until he had at least showered.
That didnât happen, he felt the fuzziness and cloudiness start once he shut the vehicles door.
Robby opened the door with shaky hands, he felt just as small as he did last time.
He took off his outer wear and his shoes, not seeing how Jack was watching him from the kitchen. Robby hung up his backpack and slowly made his way to the kitchen where his husband was sat.
âHey baby , come sit with meâ Jack said with a soft smile. Robby made his way over and sat down on the stool next to Jack.
âDo you have any ideas for dinner?â Jack started, continuing to watch how Robby was acting. âN-noâ Robby hushed out quietly.
This is when Jack was able to tell 100% that Robby had regressed. Robby would not make eye contact and Jack could see the way Robbyâs eyes were bigger and starting to get glassy.
Robby felt so ashamed of himself, his little heart breaking, he didnât like being seen in this state.
âRobby love ?â Jack said softly, gently placing his hand on Robbyâs shoulder , turning him to face him.
Robby looked up at Jack for this first time since being home. Robby had tears running down his face , shaking a little bit in his seat.
âM so sorryâ Robby said so very quietly, his words felt raw and full of pain.
âOh sweet boy. Why donât we go and take a shower together? When we are all done we can pick out food to orderâ Jack offered, he could tell Robby was having trouble. He did not want Robby showering alone after watching him walk to the kitchen.
âLetâs go down the hall,babyâJack stood up gently grabbing Robbyâs hand. Robby complied, not having the energy to protest that he could do it alone, that there was no need to help him and that he has it.
Robby held onto jacks hand and followed him down the hall to the bedroom.
Jack had let go of Robbyâs hand and went for the closet. Little Robbyâs heart dropped, he was being told to get out.
He was going to lose his Jackie , he was going to go bye bye.
Robby started sobbing from where he stood , heart broken that Jack hated him. âI go bye-bye Jackie?â Robby said between sobs.
Jack spun around quickly, instantly moving to go and comfort the little.
âNo no baby, Jackie is just getting you some clothes to get into after our showerâ Jack said , pressing soft kisses to Robbyâs face.
Robby kept crying, he held a tight grip on Jack . âPeanut? Letâs go to the bathroom. We can get all nice and cleanâ Jack said softly , gently grabbing Robbyâs hand that gripped his shirt.
Jack guided Robby to the bathroom, sitting him down on the toilet. âIâm just going to start the showerâ Jack said letting go of Robbyâs hand.
Robby watched Jack with wide curious eyes. His crying had subsided but he was still sniffling.
Jack got the shower started , turning back to Robby. He was going to see if he could ease Robby into accepting help.
âPeanut, letâs get undressedâ Jack said, paying close attention to how Robby is reacting.
He watched as more tears fell but Robby stayed silent , he just nodded his head. Robby started to undress himself but struggled greatly, he could barely get his arms out of his shirt.
Jack realized that this was why Robby spent over an hour in the bathroom.
âItâs ok baby, Jackie will help you. You did such a good jobâ Jack gently reached to help pull Robbyâs shirt off.
âM so sorry Jackie, not goodâ Robby was sobbing again.
Jack continued to undress Robby, being gentle and calm , giving Robby soft reassurance, telling him he was a good boy, that it was ok that he needed help.
Once Robby was undressed, Jack eased Robby into the shower and got him to sit down on the shower chair.
Jack quickly got undressed and removed his prosthetic and left it leaning against the wall.
Jack joined Robby on the shower chair, pulling the 200 pound boy into his lap.
âHey peanut, is the water warm enough?â Robby just nodded, looking at jack with big eyes. Jack placed kisses on Robbyâs face.
Jack grabbed the scrub puff and lathered it with soap , starting to clean Robbyâs upper half. Robby sobbed during the shower, nothing Jack said or did helped Robby calm down. âI know baby , itâs ok. Itâs ok to need help, Jackie doesnât mind helping his babyâ Jack said while gently washing. âBaby, do you think you can stand up for one minute? We just have to wash your lower halfâ Robby complied , letting Jack guide him to his feet. â Mikey can you hold onto the rail? The shower is slippery and we canât have you falling.â Robby held the bar , following jacks requests with no hesitation.
âIâm going to wash your lower half now , ok baby? Iâll be quickâ Jack said , gently scrubbing Robby. âCan you turn baby ? I need to wash your other sideâ Robby slowly turned and complied.
âYouâre being such a good boyâ Jack praised Robby , seeing that the boy was still crying.
Robby hated himself, he canât believe Jack is stuck helping him. Especially after a long shift and they both havenât stopped in over two weeks. He felt nothing but guilt and shame as he let Jack wash him.
âPeanut, come sit back down in the chairâ Jack said gently , seeing how Robby was zoning out. âIâm going to wash myself up and then we can get out , ok baby?â Jack said , Robby nodded in response and they swapped spots.
Robby couldnât stop crying , he just couldnât stop. All the emotions big Robby had and never expressed went to little him. The sensitive boy felt all the big emotions and had no idea how to express them besides crying. Robby just sat crying in the shower chair waiting for Jack to finish up.
âok pumpkin , letâs get out nowâ Jack got out of the shower first , quickly drying himself off and then tending to Robby. âBaby, come here , letâs get you all dryâ Jack reached one arm out for the boy to grab as he held onto the grab bar.
As Robby sat down on the toilet again , letting Jack help dry him and get him dressed he pleaded for forgiveness. âM so sorry Jackie, too muchâ Robby sobbed as Jack helped him into soft sweat pants. âPeanut, thereâs nothing to be sorry about. This isnât too much for me , Iâll do anything to help you. Needing a little help is not a big deal baby. You will never be too much for meâ Jack said softly, kissing Robbyâs cheek as he stud up. âLetâs get your shirt on babyâ Jack grabbed Robbyâs shirt off the counter. âCan you lift your arms up?â Jack asked and Robby obeyed. âPeanut, did you want to wear a sweater ? I grab you a hoodie from the closetâ Jack asked. âP-pleaseâ Robby whispered.
Once Jack finished getting Robby dressed , he got himself dressed and hung up their towels. Robby was still crying, he just looked so sad sitting on the toilet. âBaby , is there anything Jackie can do to help make you feel better? I hate seeing you like thisâ Jack said.
Robby just shook his head, thereâs nothing Jack can do to help. Robbyâs self hatred was so hard to suppress . Little him is struggling with Jack helping him. His little self promised to never burden anyone and look what he is doing. He knows Jack is exhausted, he worked a double, thereâs no way Jack has any extra energy for this.
Jack sighed , he hated watching Robby cry this much.
âM so sorry , no more helpâ Robby said , trying to get away from Jack. âNo baby , itâs ok. Thereâs no need to be sorry , I will always help you if I canâ Jack told him , holding onto Robby so we wouldnât get up and run. âLetâs go to the living room baby , we can pick something out to order for dinnerâ jack gently grabbed Robbyâs hand, he held onto a crutch while he left his other hand available for Robby.
They were sat on the couch together, Jack pulling Robby closer to him , basically having Robby on top of him. Jacks arms reached around Robby , gently rubbing his arm. Robby had his head against jacks shoulder and his legs over jacks lap.
Jack held the phone and looked through the food delivery app and offered suggestions to Robby. He had finally calmed down enough to where he wasnât sobbing but still had tears falling and sniffles. Jack occasionally placing kisses on Robby head.
âDo you have any ideas peanut?â Jack asked. Robby shook his head, he really didnât care what they ate , he wasnât even sure if heâd be able stomach it.
âWhy donât I order us Italian from down the street, you want the usual?â Jack suggested, he thought it would be a safe choice for the little. Robby nodded , Jack would order him pesto and garlic bread. He was content with that.
âOk baby , I ordered our food. Come snuggle with me until the food gets hereâ jack rotated them into laying. They had an L shape couch and laid in one spot, Jack brought Robby onto his chest. Robby instantly shoved his face into jacks neck and held onto him tightly. Jack rubbed Robbyâs back gently pressing kisses to his cheek.
Robby was a lot calmer now compared to earlier, he was so thankful Jack has not reacted badly to how he is acting. When he regresses he never interacts with people , he typically goes and lays in bed in the dark and quietly talks to himself.
âMikey? Baby the food is almost here , Iâm going to have to move you. Can you sit on the couch for me when the delivery driver comesâ Jack said gently, he hopes this doesnât upset Michael. After seeing how Robby reacted before their shower, he can only imagine the thoughts going through his head.
âOkâ Robby said quietly, Jack almost missed it.
The car pulled into the driveway, Jack gently moving Robby into a sitting position and grabbing his crutch to make his way to the door.
Jack saw the way Robbyâs face crumbled and a new set of tears made its way down his face. Jack did not know what to do. All he could do was be there for the little.
Jack opened the door when he heard and knock , holding onto to his crutch. It was a little hard for Jack to grab everything, leading the guy at the door to comment about Robby sitting on the couch. âCan that guy not help you? He is just sitting thereâ the delivery guy said. Fuck Jack thought , Robby is 100% going to berate himself over this.
Robby got up instantly after hearing what the guy said. He wiped his tears and ran over to grab everything. He avoided looking at everyone and disappeared into the kitchen with the bags.
Robby couldnât hear what was being said anymore once he was in the kitchen. He felt even worse than before , he left Jack to get all of the food when he didnât have his prosthetic on. Robby was being so selfish, he canât do this to Jack. This is was too big of a burden and that he had to do this on his own. He had to stay hidden from everyone when he was in the state, this canât be a cause of jacks stress.
âPeanut?â Jack said coming into the kitchen , he knew what he was going to find in there. Robby was crying hard again , sitting in a stool gripping onto his sweatpants. âOh babyâ Jack pulled Robby into his chest, Robby sobbed.
âRobby baby , itâs ok . The guy was just rude and shouldnât have said anything. Itâs not your fault baby , you didnât know we were going to have more than one bag . Youâre just small right nowâ Jack said , rubbing circles on Robbyâs back placing kisses on his head. âSo bad Jackie, m so badâ Robby said between hiccups . âNo baby , you are not bad. You have been such a good boy for me tonightâ Jack tried his best to reassure the boy. Robby could do nothing but shake his head.
âBaby , letâs have something to eat. Letâs go sit in the living room with our foodâ Jack offered as a distraction. âI helpâ Robby said quietly grabbing the bags and walking to the living room, Jack following behind.
Robby was sitting down in the middle of the couch and Jack sat right against him. âThat was so nice of you to helpâ Jack said placing a kiss to Robbyâs cheek.
Robby was a little calmer , still crying and sniffling , he watched Jack open the bags of food. He fiddled with his sweatpants anxiously.
âOk baby, hereâs your pesto and garlic bread. Why donât you sit down on the floor? It might easier to reach the table that way.â Jack suggested. Robby just did what he was asked , he would never put up a fight, he would never disrespect Jack.
Robby was second guessing himself, was he messy? He has never let anyone watch him eat while little. He has to be very careful, he canât spill anything, especially since thereâs carpet on the ground.
Jack places Robby food container down , with the plastic cutlery. They had glasses of water on the table from after their shower. Robby went to open his container, it was hard for him , he struggled to grasp the side to grab the lid. He tried once more and ended up hitting his glass of water with his elbow causing it to knock over and fall onto the carpet.
âOh noâ Robby hushed out , Jack could already see the tears forming in the boys eyes. âM so sorry Jackieâ Robby sobbed.
The little felt so bad , he made a mess . He ruined dinner and the carpet now. Jackie is really going to hate him now , Jackie is going to yell at him. âI go cleanâ Robby stud up quickly before Jack could even say anything.
Jack could hear Robbyâs footsteps to the kitchen, he could hear the boys whimpers and apologies from the kitchen.
Jack was not expecting to hear a loud bang come from the kitchen , he rushed up and grabbed his crutches and made his way over to Robby.
He saw his baby crying sitting on the floor with a goose egg on his forehead. Fuck , Robby must have slipped on something. âBaby, are you ok?â Jack asked approaching Robby. Robby just nodded, not saying anything.
Robby was sobbing , from pain and embarrassment. He just needs to clean up the mess he made and leave Jack alone so he can relax.
Robby was scared that Jack hated him now, that Jack doesnât want anything to do with him.
âHey baby , letâs get the paper towel? Once we get that we can clean up the water and we can eat dinner. It was just an accident, Iâm not upset at all baby. I promise I am not upsetâ jack offered calmly.
Jack doesnât know what to do , Robby is so sensitive and itâs so upsetting to see him beat himself up about everything. He just wants Robby to feel safe with him , he doesnât want him feeling like he is a burden and an extra nuisance to take care of.
âBaby , letâs go eat. Letâs not worry about the water. Itâs just water baby nothing to worry aboutâ Jack tried to ease Robby back to relaxing and coming to eat.
Jack opened Robbyâs container, and told him to eat. Jack had turned on a history channel, he wasnât sure what Robby watched when he was little. âPeanut, did you have any show youâd like to watch? â Jack asked , Robby shook his head. Robby didnât watch anything while little. He was terrified someone would see, he knows little him would love to watch a kid show. He would love to ask Jack to play a show from the toddler section but he could never in a million years ever suggest that.
Jack was sure Robby probably wanted to watch something more suitable for his headspace but he wasnât ready to share what interested him.
Jack figured he could play a show for Robby , he went onto a streaming service and put on Bluey.
Jack heard Robby make a quiet sound, eyes widening. âNo have to watchâ Robby said looking at Jack, he fiddled with his sweatpants, unsure of how to tell the man that this wasnât necessary and they really didnât have to watch this.
âItâs ok baby , letâs just try this outâ Jack gave a soft smile , placing a kiss on Robbyâs head.
Jack could tell how unsure Robby was , like he was anticipating for something to happen , he was waiting to see if Jack would make fun of him.
Robby sat there eating his food, he felt so guilty that Jack felt the need to put this on for him. He doesnât deserve this , he doesnât even do this when he is small.
It took almost the whole episode for Robby to finally feel ok to watch it , Jack got to see Robby smile at the tv and see how wide and innocent Robbyâs eyes got.
Robby hadnât really touched his food , he had a few bites and held onto his garlic bread while watching the show. Jack made no comment about it , he was happy Robby was able to distract himself enough to where he finally stopped crying. Jack could see that Robby had a rash from his tears , Robbyâs cheeks probably burned and he knows that that goose egg probably caused a headache.
âRobby baby? You all done?â Jack asked , Robby froze. He felt so bad he barely ate any dinner and he wasnât paying attention to anything.
âM sorry Jackieâ Robby hushed out starting to cry again. âOh baby itâs ok , we can save it for tomorrow. Are you enjoying the show?â Jack smiled, running his fingers through Robbyâs hair. Robby looked guilty , his eyes were sad and his face looks distraught.
Robby shouldnât be enjoying this show , he knows jack probably hates this show and itâs probably over his childish antics. Robby cried even more , he just felt shame , how could be do this.
âPumpkin , itâs ok that you like it. Why donât we go brush our teeth and go potty? After that we can snuggle in bed and watch a showâ jack suggested, his poor peanut is so upset.
Robby complied , like he always does when he feels small like this. He followed behind Jack to their bathroom, waiting for the next instruction from Jack.
âOk peanut , letâs brush your teethâ Jack said to Robby holding his tooth brush. He got it all ready, offering to brush Robbyâs teeth without verbally asking. âOpen up letâs brush your teethâ Robby opened up his mouth, letting Jack brush his teeth.
âThank Jackieâ Robby said quietly after they finished , Jack smiled and placed a kiss on Robbyâs cheek.
âOk peanut, can you use the potty while I brush my teeth?â Jack asked , Robby nodded and moved to the toilet.
Little Robby sat to pee, he struggled to pull his pants down but managed after his second attempt.
Jack brushed his teeth and watched Robby in the mirror. Robby looked so sweet , his movements were slow and cautious. âAll done pumpkin?â Jack asked. Robby nodded and stud up , pulling up his underwear and sweatpants. Robby flushed the toilet and walked towards Jack. âLetâs watch your hands, when you are all done can you sit on the bed and wait for me?â âYes Jackieâ Robby whispered, he walked off the their bedroom. Jack could hear Robby from the ensuit bathroom.
Jack quickly used the bathroom and washed his hands making his way back to Robby.
âBaby, letâs get under the coversâ Jack said gently grabbing Robbyâs hand. Jack placed his crutches on his side of the bed and got under the covers waiting for Robby.
âCome baby, I want to snuggle with my little peanutâ. Robby made his way into he bed , he was on his side of the bed until Jack pulled him into his chest. Jack turned this tv on and played bluey again for Robby.
Jack heard Robby gasp quietly and saw how his eyes held excitement. Jack thought it was cute to see how something so little made Robby so happy.
They laid together in bed , Robby was watching bluey but jack was watching Robby with a smile on his face. He was so happy Robby finally stopped sobbing and was content with snuggling with Jack.
Jack placed kisses on Robbyâs head , trying to ease Robby into sleep. He gently rubbed circles on Robby stomach. He watched as Robbyâs eyes started drooping and his breathing evened out.
Once he knew for sure Robby was out cold he turned the tv off and held Robby even closer.
This was the first time that when Robby was little that he didnât cry himself to sleep. It was the first time little Robby was content going to bed.
Robby went to bed without the pit in his stomach.
