Baby Smurf's Arrival (Hero Stories)/Part 1

It was a calm evening in the Smurf Village, and in Smurfette's house, both Hero and Smurfette were ready to put Miracle to bed. Smurfette placed the infant Smurf into a cradle, tucked her in and began to slowly swing it, while singing a little song.

"Rock-a-bye little Miracle, sleep for a spell, when you wake up, you'll smurf all well" Smurfette sang. Hero came over and put his hand on her shoulder.

"That was beautiful" Hero said.

"Thank you" Smurfette answered, as they both looked down on their bundle of joy.

"She's just so precious" Smurfette said.

"She sure is!" Hero said.

"You know, when I look at her, she reminds me of the time when Baby Smurf first smurfed into the village" Smurfette said.

Hero chuckled, "I remember! You and Wonder used to compete against each other over who gets to be with him".

"What happened when he did smurf into the village, Papa Smurf?" Saviour asked.

"Well, it was many years ago, me and your Mama Smurf were only dating back then" Hero said, "But I believe it went somewhat like this..." he said as began to tell the story.

...

It was night time over the forest, but this night is different than the others, the moon is blue and a stork was busy carrying a bundle on it's beak and was flying towards the village. The stork soon arrived at the village and dropped off the bundle at a Smurfs house, knocked on the door several times before flying off.

"Who's the smurf of a Smurf smurfing on my door at this hour? I'm going to smurf him with my foot in his smurf..." Fergus fumed, as he opened his door and noticed that no one was there, "Well, what? Anybody there?" he asked, before he closed the door and headed back to bed, "It's another one of Jokey's tricks! If I smurf him. I'll..." he said before there was the sound of some one crying.

He re-opened his door, noticed the sound was coming from the basket that was left of his doorstep, he pulled back the blanket and seen a baby Smurf.

"Why...why it's a baby?!" he said, he grabbed the basket and tried to find another Smurf to give him to, "There's some mistake! This baby isn't mine!" he said in surprisement. He placed the basket onto Jokey's doorstep, knocked on the door and ran off.

Jokey answered the door and seen the basket, "Eh, What's...is this a joke?!" he asked, before taking hold of the basket and taking it to Hawkeye's house, he knocked on the door and Hawkeye answered.

"Here, Hawkeye! Here's a gift for you!" Jokey said.

Hawkeye looked in the basket and seen the baby Smurf, "There must be some mistake! That baby is not mine!" he said.

"Well who's can it be?" Jokey asked. Soon they both looked at each other and immediately realised that the baby could be for two certain Smurfs.

"That it! Hero and Wonder! They are the only Smurfs in a relationship! This baby has to be their's!" Hawkeye said, as he took the baby to Hero and Wonder's house, knocked on the door and ran off.

"Who's smurfing on our door at this time?" Hero yawned.

"I don't know! I'll go check" Wonder said, as she got out her bed and headed downstairs, opened the door and noticed nobody was there.

"It's no Smurf!" Wonder said, before she heard the sound of crying, she checked the basket that was left at the doorstep and seen the baby Smurf.

"Oh! A BABY!" Wonder said excitedly.

"Arhoo..." the baby Smurf said.

Wonder picked up the baby Smurf and began to snuggle it, "HERO! COME SEE THE BABY SMURF!" she shouted.

"A baby Smurf?" Hero asked, as he came downstairs and seen Wonder holding the baby Smurf.

"Well I'll be!" Hero said, "Hello, little one".

"Beleb!" the baby Smurf said, as he grabbed Hero's nose and started pulling it.

"He's got some grip!" Hero said in a funny voice, causing the baby Smurf to laugh.

"Come on, we'll show him to every Smurf tomorrow" Wonder said happily, as she and Hero took the baby Smurf inside and went back to bed.

The next morning, Hero and Wonder introduced the baby Smurf to the other Smurfs, they were curious as to who the baby belonged to.

"He's adorable, isn't he?" Wonder asked her fellow Smurfs.

"He sure is" Hero said.

"A baby Smurf! Well, my goodness!" Papa said excitedly.

"Oh! He's so smurf!" Smurfette said.

"Where'd he come from?" Dempsey asked.

"I don't know!" Nikolai answered.

"And he isn;t yours?" Edward asked Takeo.

"Have you gone smurfy?" Takeo answered.

Grouchy stood nearby, sulking, "I hate Baby Smurfs!" he muttered. Soon the baby Smurf started crying, "I really hate Baby Smurfs!" he muttered again.

"What's wrong?" Dempsey asked nervously.

"Is he sick?" Smurfette asked.

"No! He's just hungry! Go smurf him a bowl of milk!" Papa answered.

"Milk! I know a goat not far from here!" Clumsy said, before running off.

"You don't want me to smurf him a big jelly cake?" Greedy asked.

"No, thanks Greedy, he's too little!" Wonder said.

"Yeah! That wouldn't be good for his diet!" Smurfette added.

"They're right Greedy" Hero said.

"Oh, I understand" Greedy said, sounding rather disappointed.

Later, inside Hero and Wonder's house, most of the Smurfs couldn't take their eyes off the baby Smurf.

"Come on! Fess up, you two! That's your baby isn't it?" Brainy said.

Wonder felt offended, "Hero, would you mind holding him?" she asked.

"Sure!" Hero said, as he took the baby Smurf. Wonder soon started chasing after Brainy, hurling objects at him, "How dare you, Brainy Smurf!" Wonder shouted.

"Okay! Okay! I didn't say a word!" Brainy said, as he ran out the house.

Later, Handy called Papa Smurf to his workshop to show him his latest invention.

"It's very nice, but what does that machine smurf?" Papa asked.

"Well, powered by a desmurfed axle, it creates a helismurfal movement which starts the rocking of the cradle...!" Handy said, as he showed Papa how it worked.

"Maybe it would be easier to rock by hand..." Papa suggested.

"Uh, yes... you may be right!" Handy said.

Later that day, Hero and Wonder were strolling through the village with the baby Smurf in a pram.

"Doobee deeboo..." the baby Smurf said, while shaking his rattle.

"Isn't it time for his bath?" Smurfette asked.

"Be careful he dosen't smurf cold!" Takeo said.

"Did the wee lad get burped?" Fergus asked.

"Yes to being burped, and his bath isn't until later on!" Hero said.

"And don't worry, the little one is nice and warm!" Wonder said.

Nikolai saw Hefty standing with a halberd in his hand.

"Hey! Comrade! What are are you doing there?" he asked.

"Well, keeping watch! In case Gargamel smurf up on the horizon..." Hefty said.
