Third Person's POV

*The Next Day*

 Ken woke up to the rays of the sun, he looked to his left and noticed that his parents are still sleeping at their own bed, he looked at his right and found that the ball of white was still where he was, just beside him,

Not really beside him beside him, just there probably an arm’s length distance, a baby's arm length distance.

'What are you staring at?' effectively catching Ken of guard, he finds it hard to find his words.

'I uhh... I'm... Uh... good morning! I was just wondering whether you are awake or not.' that little startle subsiding down as Ken’s heart calmed.

'Good morning to you too Ken, as for your question, I have been awake for a long time, because I do not take a rest.' replied the ball.

'Why is that so?' Ken asks curiously.

'That's because I do not have a body that gets tired, as you can see, I am a ball of white.' Ken nodded as it does seem reasonable.

While deep in a conversation with the ball of white, he didn't notice his parents waking up and walking to his side, he heard a gasp and turn to its source, and looked that it was just his parents, looking at him worriedly but his mom's face quickly turned to that of a pout, his father looking at his wife with raised eyebrows.

"Awwww, our baby woke up before us, I mean honey look at him, he's wide awake, I bet he must have been waiting for us to wake up too, awww poor Kenny, where you waiting for a long time?

Here let me cradle you and give you your milk for this morning." Just as she had said, she reached out with both of her arms, to which Ken reciprocated with both arms reaching out for his mother as well, making those grabby features.

He notice at the corner of his eye that his dad was getting busy, wondering what his father could be busying himself for?

 "Me and your mother will be taking you out to meet our friend at their house just by the fields, I'm sure you will be delighted to be there because our friend also has a kid, and they’re the same age as you, aren't you excited?"  said Ken’s father excitedly, that Ken could not help as well but to laugh and squeal in delight while breastfeeding.

The thought of having a new friend was very exciting.

"Now now sweetie, we can't have you going to our friend’s house without having your fill or you won't have the energy to play with your soon to be new friend, so let's go back to drinking shall we?" said Ken’s mother, caressing her child.

The family dressed up with plain clothing and had went out on their way, recalling that this was not Ken’s first time outside, remembering that time when he had his first birthday and his parents had invited every people on their village.

They may not have been many but their night was filled with cheers and joy nonetheless. Ken giggling all night long.

"Kenny did you remember that time when you turned a year old? Our friends where there, and the people that we are visiting today were also there, although we didn't get to introduce you to them though they had also brought their son with them,

because I kind of got lost in the moment and didn't get to introduce you to them and to their son, I know you will not be able to remember our friends names, but I'm sure you will become familiar with them because they're a very lovely couple, and today you will be getting to meet them and their son." said the father, to which Ken squealed and nodding vigorously.

On the way he kept smooching his son with cuddles and kisses, when Ken got a bit annoyed he pushed his father’s face back and showed an annoyed face, his father just laughed and explained to him that now that he was holding him, he just can't get enough giving him love and kisses,

Like when he can't get enough of giving cuddles and kisses to his wife whenever he hugs her, Ken showed him an unimpressed face, what happened next shocked him, his father gave him puppy dog eyes!!!...

‘Who does that?! Apparently my father does’ that sulky face unyielding with its assault on the poor little boy, eventually giving up and letting himself go with what his father wants, happily cuddling again with his son, showering kisses all over.

By the time they had arrived at the house of their friend, Ken could feel that his face was wet from all that smooching, him frowning at his father.

Of course the parent was at a loss, and looked at his son confusion clear on his face, his wife noticed that he wasn't knocking at the door and gazed lovingly at this father and son duo.

Noticing the distress signals of her son, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped Ken’s wet cheeks gently.

Delighted with the treatment, Ken made grabby hands at his mother, she leaned closer to her son getting caught off guard as her son touched her face with those soft cute hands and gave her a soft kiss on her cheeks,

But later regretted his actions when the action was reciprocated ten-folds unto him, smothering him with more cuddles, but this time without the wetness on her cheeks.

When she retracted from her son, she looked at his frozen state and laughed but wiped the excess wetness on her son’s cheek.

Noticing the commotion from outside, the tenants of the small house opened the door to find them in front of a family of three. A man looking to be on his early 20’s  with that young but masculine face and physique.

The man looking to be almost the same age as Ken’s parents, beside him was a woman cradling a boy, only the boy was facing the inside of the house and not on their three guests. The man smiled at Ken’s father and the woman exclaimed.

"Alfred, glad you and you're family are here, come inside, please be at home" Alfred obliged and went inside still holding Ken, followed by his partner, the couple led their guests to the living room and offered to take a sit.

"Thank you for welcoming and inviting us here to your home Lorna and Erick." Alfred said.

"No please, you guys are very much welcome here at our house, especially your son." The woman, named Lorna, replied.

The adults went into deep conversation, catching up and making small talks, Ken’s mind drifting in and out of thought.

" en... Ken... KEN..." a loud voice pulled him out of his thoughts, Ken looked up and was met with his father's face directly above him showing a concerned face.

"We've been calling you for 5 times, are you okay buddy? Does it hurt somewhere?" He ask, concern lacing on his words, Ken shook my head to show that he disapproved of his statement and gave him a smile to reassure him that his son was alright.

"Are you sure you're okay? Okay, so now it's time to meet your Aunt and Uncles son, Wilbert Talon." Alfred exclaimed, Ken looked around and rested his gaze at the boy his aunt Lorna was currently holding, not budging on the slightest.

Ken tilted his head to the side, looking intrigued and anticipating the boy to at least move, or do something, the other just sleeping soundly.

"Will, wake up now, we're introducing you to our friends son." The boy named Wilbert stirred awake and gently and slowly looked around and him and once he get to look at another kid, he rested his eyes at the new face.

In that spur of the moment, Ken noticed a slight glow on the figure of the baby in front of him, the more he observed the more he noticed that the radiance was growing brighter.

'It means, you have found the main and first hero of this story.'

‘Oh, okay…Wait what?! Really?! I found the first Hero?!’
