"Gawrsh Mickey! I'll be right over!" The baby reached as far as he could to bring Goofy's yellow car closer to the clubhouse.
The baby lifted his head momentarily at the sound of his mommy's high-pitched gasp for air, followed by a low groan that could only be the man's. The baby hoped his mommy was okay. It sounded like her friend could be hurting her. Why else would his mommy be so loud without words?
He shook his head and went back to his cars. In his world, Mickey was running around the clubhouse grounds placing tablecloths on the tables. Goofy was just arriving and happy to help Donald Duck hang the twinkle lights around the tea party area. Everything was looking so good, and they would be ready for Minnie soon!
There was another groan coming from out of the room, but the baby didn't pay any attention to it as he started to very slowly move Minnie's pink car with the white polka dots towards Daisy's house to pick her up. The wheels made a little squeak as they rolled against the mat. Silly Daisy, she needed Minnie's help choosing which purple dress she wanted to wear to the clubhouse today. Daisy was in on the birthday surprise and wanted to give the boys more time to set up and make things perfect for her best friend.
Pete arrived at the clubhouse last with a bunch of scones and small finger sandwiches. He was so proud of them, having worked all morning to get them just right. He didn't think he should have to help the other boys set up the tea party decorations. The baby rolled his eyes. Pete was always his least favorite character.
"Uh! UHHH!!! ALMOST THERE!!!" the baby heard his mommy's voice but didn't bother to stop playing. She said she was almost there, right? That must mean he is almost going to be allowed out of his nursery. He needed to get this tea party going as the last thing he wanted was for Mommy to burst in and say it was bedtime before the day at the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was over!
Daisy and Minnie finally were ready to go over to the clubhouse. The baby zoomed the car to the clubhouse grounds and parked it, pretending that there were big bushes blocking their view from the tea party the boys had set up. He moved Minnie closer to her surprise just as he heard something slam into the outside of his nursery's wall. A big sigh and groan came from the other side of the wall again.
"SURPRISE MINNIE!" the Clubhouse gang all cried out. Minnie was so excited by all the decorations and the fact that all her friends were there, that the baby didn't realize he was being watched by Mommy and her friend through the open doorway.
"Wow babe... That's your husband? He's wearing a diaper playing with cars..." Mommy's friend kept his voice low, almost so low that the baby didn't register it at all. The friend didn't seem to like him very much.
"That's why you're here... a woman has needs!"
