Today is the day where the brothers will be facing the ultimate challenge of the month, the battle will soon begin for them as each one of the brothers seem to be preparing themself for a long, dramatic, and exhausting day ahead of them.

And what is that ultimate challenge you all may wonder? Oh dear readers, all of you already know from the title. The ultimate challenge for the brothers is the fact that they will be bringing their one year old brothers for their monthly routine check up!

But author, that should be easy! You just need to bring the baby to the doctor, a little check here and there, maybe a sprinkle of wail and cry before the needle come by and then you are all done right?

Okay, now bring one little ball of energy are already abit handfull when they wail and cry, let me tell you that. But its not as easy as it seem, well except if you got a cooperating baby but that beside the point.

One baby are enough to keep you busy all day, but in the oldest trio case, they need to bring four little munchkin to the doctor! Each one of them have their own personality and are most definitely different from one another.

Where their parent? Where their Mom and dad? Well the two are currently in America to take care of their work and leaving the house along with the babies to halilintar and his twins brother, Taufan and gempa.

So it was very safe for the triplet to say that there will be chaos happening for sure, especially when it involve their little troublemaker, who that might be?

Oh its obviously their little fireball name blaze, even as an one year old who can barely walk for now, he sure love to give you a headache or a mini heart attack at every chance he get.

Ehem, anyways!

In the nursery room where gempa currently are, he was humming a simple lullaby while getting his brothers ready for their oppointment but seem like one of the little babies are not going to give him a easy time.

"And... You are done now thornie" gempa chuckle as he buttoning the last one of thorns clothes before the little ball of energy squeel in delight.

The third oldest lean in and give the little baby a quick kiss on his forehead before he gently carried him and put him in on the ground where it was cover with a soft matress and surrounded by a playpen where both ice and solar are.

Ice stir slightly upon feeling the shift in the matress before he fall asleep once again, solar on the other hand peak for a short moment before he continue to play with his toy block.

Where Halilintar and Taufan? Well halilintar left them a minute ago as he need to answer a phone call while Taufan are in the same room with him as he continue to pack everything they might need in a large bag while occasionally looking over to see what their little brothers doing.

"Your turn now aze" gempa turn his head toward him before blaze squeel loudly as gempa gently pick him up from his attempt to walk on the matress.

Blaze giggle as he was laid on the soft matress with gempa playfully tickle him on his belly before he stop and smile.

"Stay still now alright?" Gempa said as his hand move to change blaze's clothes and diaper, he was doing a great job for a moment before blaze decided that he have enough cooperating.

"Oh, wiggle you go" gempa shake his head as he gently hold his brother down while trying to continue changing his diaper before they can finally leave.

But blaze obviously have another plan as the little troublemaker refused to stay still.

Gempa smile upon seeing blaze who trying to run away but fail to do so when he gently pick him up again and boop his little nose which also manage to gain his attention and giggle at the playfull gesture from his older brother.

"Alright aze" Gempa cooed before gently pressing the wriggling baby back onto the mattress.

"Stay still please, Big brother is trying to get you ready here" but Blaze was having none of it, the fiery little troublemaker flailed his chubby arms and legs while letting out a high pitched giggle as he twisted to the side, attempting yet another great escape.

"Blaze, stop that" Gempa pleaded, but his tone was filled with patient amusement.

"You are not making this easy for me buddy" across the room, Thorn had taken notice of the commotion.

Standing unsteadily in the playpen, he gripped the rails tightly with his wide eyes sparkling with curiosity before he let out a stream of excited babbles, bouncing slightly as if cheering Blaze on.

"Thornie, don’t you start too" Gempa called over with a chuckle.

"I am already dealing with one wiggly worm" thorn responded with a delighted squeal, his chubby cheeks puffing up in a big grin.

Solar who had been quietly stacking blocks beside him glanced up briefly, his expression one of mild disapproval, with a small sigh of an almost comically mature gesture for a one year old before he returned to carefully balancing another block on his growing tower.

From the corner of the playpen, Ice stirred and start to rubbing his sleepy eyes with his tiny fists, he sat up slowly with his hair adorably mussed and let out a soft whine before reaching toward Gempa.

"Hold on Ice" Gempa said while sparing his little brother a warm smile.

"Let me deal with Blaze first and then it’s cuddle time for you, okay?" Blaze however was still determined to thwart every attempt at a clean diaper change.

With a sudden burst of energy, he kicked his legs and rolled onto his belly, giggling like it was the funniest thing in the world.

"Blaze! You are going to give me gray hair before i even in my twenty!" Gempa exclaimed while laughing at his little brother attic, he then gently flipped the baby back over and tickle him once again with blaze shrieked with laughter while his arms flailing wildly.

The little troublemaker kicked his chubby legs and squealed in protest at the sudden attack, his giggles filling the room like music.

Each time Gempa thought he had secured him, Blaze would twist or squirm which make the process feel more like a wrestling match rather than a diaper change.

At that moment, Halilintar walked back into the room as his phone call are finally over, his usual stern expression softened slightly as he took in the scene.

Thorn bouncing excitedly in the crib, Solar quietly building his tower, Ice blinking sleepily at Gempa, and Blaze giggling uncontrollably on the mattress.

"What taking so long?" Halilintar asked, though he already know the answer as he look at gempa who strunggle to hold blaze down without hurting the little gremlin.

"Ask him," Gempa replied while nodding toward Blaze who had just grabbed onto Gempa’s shirt and was pulling with all his might.

"This little fireball decided that today was a great day to test my patience." Halilintar walked over while crossing his arms as he observed Blaze’s antics.

"You are letting him win gem" he said but there was a faint hint of amusement in his voice.

"Not everyone can be as strict as you, Hali" Gempa teased, sticking his tongue out at his older brother.

"Some of us prefer the soft approach" Halilintar rolled his eyes but leaned down to scoop up Thorn who was now reaching toward him with grabby hands.

"At least Thorn knows how to behave," he muttered, thorn immediately nestled into Halilintar’s chest and letting out a happy coo as he played with the buttons on his shirt.

"See? Even Thornie agrees," Gempa said with a grin as he finally managing to secure Blaze’s clean diaper, he quickly buttoned up the baby’s onesie and lifted him into his arms before pressing a kiss to his forehead.

"There we go, all done!" Blaze responded with a loud babble before reaching out toward Solar, who was still focused on his blocks.

Seeing his brother’s outstretched arms, Solar hesitated for a moment before holding up one of his blocks as an offering, blaze’s face lit up before begging his brother to put him next to the youngest, Solar on the other hand gave a tiny satisfied nod before returning to his work.

"Aw, look at that," Gempa said, his heart melting at the sweet exchange.

"Cute" Halilintar thought internally, with the corners of his mouth twitched upward in a small smile.

Meanwhile ice had grown impatient and letting out a soft whine as he reached for Gempa again with his eyes pleading.

"Alright ice, come here" Gempa said before he setting Blaze down and scooping Ice into his arms.

"You been so patient haven’t you?" He nuzzled Ice’s cheek, earning a sleepy giggle from the baby, Halilintar adjusted Thorn in his arms while glancing at the clock.

"We need to leave soon if we don’t want to be late."

"Almost ready," Gempa replied while bouncing Ice gently, he glanced over at Solar, who had just toppled his block tower and was now staring at the scattered pieces with wide eyes.

"Uh oh, did the tower fall down?" Solar looked up at Gempa with his lips quivering slightly, Gempa quickly knelt down beside him

"It’s okay Solar" he said soothingly.

"We can build it again later, I promise" He handed Solar a block which seemed to cheer him up as he clutched it tightly in his tiny hands.

At that moment Taufan walked in while carrying an overstuffed bag slung over his shoulder.

"Alright I think I got everything" he announced with his usual cheerful energy.

"Diapers, bottles, snacks...oh! and toys because we all know someone going to need a distraction" Blaze immediately perked up at the mention of toys and letting out an excited squeal before reaching toward Taufan with grabby hands.

"Whoa slow down buddy," Taufan laughed before crouching down to give Blaze a quick tickle.

"I see you are as energetic as ever huh?" He chuckle as he look at blaze who begin to give them a wide smile.

"What kind of trouble have you been causing this time?"

"All the trouble" Gempa said with a dramatic sigh, though the fondness in his voice was unmistakable.

"He been squirming and wiggling like a little eel the whole time" Taufan grinned and plopping the bag onto the floor.

"That’s Blaze for you, you can’t keep him still for more than two seconds" As if to prove his brother’s point, Blaze immediately toddled over to the bag, plopping down beside it and rummaging through its contents with impressive determination.

"Blaze no!" Taufan said, though he couldn’t keep the amusement out of his voice as he gently scooped the baby up.

"You are going to make a mess before we even leave the house" Thorn who had been watching from Halilintar’s arms, let out a delighted squeal and reached toward Taufan, clearly wanting in on the action.

"Looks like Thorn wants you now" Halilintar remarked, handing the baby over to Taufan.

"Alright come here, little guy" Taufan said before taking Thorn and spinning him gently in a playful circle, thorn giggled loudly with his laugh infectious enough to make Blaze and Solar join in with their own happy noises, gempa smiled at the scene before shifting Ice in his arms and glanced at Halilintar.

"See? Not a disaster yet" Taufan chuckle after he decided it's enough to spin around and look at his twins.

"Give it five minutes" Halilintar replied dryly but the corners of his mouth quirked up in a faint smile.

"Ehem, Okay boys," Taufan said while holding Thorn securely with Blaze who tried to climb his shoulder like a monkey from his arms.

"We got this, Four babies, three brothers, one doctor’s appointment, it’s practically a walk in the park, right?" Gempa snorted at his word before he shake his head.

"Doubting that" halilintar nod in agreement, with four babies, they very sure that there will be chaos happening soon.

.

.

.

.

The moment the trio stepped out of the house, it was as if the babies could sense something big was happening. Thorn was happily babbling nonsense while Solar clung tightly to his favorite block, Blaze was already squirming in Taufan’s arms and Ice rubbed his sleepy eyes, clearly unimpressed with being moved from the cozy nursery.

"Gempa, you are in the back with Thorn and Solar and Taufan you take care of Blaze and Ice in the middle" he pause as he gaze at his brothers who mostly seem happy for now.

"I am driving" he continue before he put a few bag in the car and started the engine.

"Okie dokie" taufan teased, balancing a squirming blaze on his hip before they opened the car doors and the chaos began immediately.

"Okay Thornie, let’s get you buckled up" Gempa cooed as he tried to place Thorn into his car seat in the back row but Thorn had other plans.

As soon as his little bottom touched the seat, Thorn stiffened like a board while throwing his head back and letting out a loud indignant wail.

"Thorn buddy, We are not doing this right now," Gempa pleaded, trying to bend Thorn’s rigid little body enough to buckle him in.

"What happen?" Halilintar called from the driver’s seat, glancing back through the rearview mirror.

"He’s doing his ‘I’m a stick’ routine!" Gempa answer as he tried to wrangle Thorn into submission.

Meanwhile on the middle row, Taufan was wrestling with Blaze who had somehow managed to unclip one of the straps on his car seat while Taufan was distracted by Ice.

"Blaze, how did you even-" Taufan groaned before grabbing the strap and trying to re buckle it while Blaze giggled mischievously and kicking his little legs.

"Stay still Aze!" Taufan begged but Blaze had no intention of cooperating, instead he twisted to the side and making a grab for the bag of snacks Gempa had set down on the floor earlier.

"Snacks are not for now!" Taufan said before pulling the bag away just in time, blaze in respond let out a high pitched shriek of protest that made Taufan wince.

While Blaze was causing a scene, Ice sat quietly in his car seat next to Taufan, At first glance, he seemed like the model baby until Taufan noticed that Ice was methodically undoing the straps with his tiny, determined fingers.

"Ice no!" Taufan exclaimed before scrambling to tighten the straps again, Ice blinked up at him innocently with his tiny hands already working on the buckle again the moment Taufan let go.

"You are sneakier than you look, you know that?" Taufan muttered, narrowing his eyes at the baby, who just gave him a sly little grin.

In the back row, Gempa finally managed to strap Thorn in, though not without a lot of dramatic crying and flailing, he turned to Solar who was sitting quietly and holding his block.

"Okay Solar, your turn" Gempa said, relieved that at least one of his brothers seemed cooperative.

But as soon as Gempa tried to take the block from Solar to buckle him in properly, the baby’s lips quivered and he let out a heart wrenching betrayed sob.

"Okay okay you can keep it!" Gempa said quickly before handing the block back, solar calmed immediately while clutching his toy with both hands like it was the most important thing in the world, Gempa sigh in relief before finally securing Solar’s straps.

After what felt like an eternity, all four babies were buckled in, though the car was now filled with a cacophony of wails, giggles, and babbling.

Halilintar let out a long sigh and gripping the steering wheel tightly as he muttered under his breath.

"I don’t know how Mom and Dad do this every day"

"Neither do I" Taufan admitted, leaning back against the seat with Blaze still wriggling beside him, gempa slumping in his seat between Thorn and Solar as the two were now tugging at his shirt from either side.

As Halilintar started the car, Blaze suddenly shrieked while kicking his legs excitedly.

"Why is he so happy now?" Halilintar asked, glancing in the rearview mirror to see a happy baby.

"Probably because he knows this is only the beginning," Taufan said grimly which cause gempa to chuckled.

And with that, they drove off, their car filled with noise, laughter, and the undeniable chaos that came with being the older brothers to four little babies

For a brief glorious moment, everything was calm, halilintar drove the car with focus while occasionally glance at the rearview.

In the middle row, Taufan sat with Blaze and Ice, carefully keeping Blaze entertained with silly faces while Ice was already dozing off.

In the back, Gempa held a toy aloft while making airplane noises for Thorn and occasionally checking on Solar who stared contentedly out the window with his block.

"See? This isn’t so bad, We are actually-"taufan said, his voice almost smug.

"Don’t jinx it!" both halilintar and gempa hissed, cutting him off.

.

.

.

.

It started with Blaze, Of course, it started with Blaze.

Blaze shifted in his car seat, pouting dramatically as he kicked his little legs, the straps were too tight for his liking and his patience of what little he has ran out, he let out a sharp, piercing wail that startled everyone in the car.

“What happened?!” Halilintar ask in suprise before glancing at the rearview mirror.

“I don’t know, he just- wait no, Blaze don’t-!” Taufan tried to stop him, but Blaze had already squirmed halfway out of his seatbelt, arms flailing wildly as he screamed at the top of his lungs.

Almost as if on cue, Thorn in the backseat decided he didn’t like the noise. His lower lip wobbled and a tiny whimper escaped before he joined Blaze in a full on crying duet.

“Oh, come on!” Gempa groaned, trying to calm Thorn down, He quickly pulled a brightly colored toy from the emergency baby bag they packed earlier.

Thorn’s tear streaked face lit up the moment he saw the spinning lights and funny sounds before he grabbed the toy with both hands, completely distracted.

“Okay, one down” Gempa sighed in relief. He glanced at Blaze and winced, blaze was not so easily swayed.

“Out! Out!" Blaze screamed, his voice reaching an impressive volume for such a small child, he kicked his feet, narrowly missing Taufan’s stomach and wriggled like a tiny tornado.

“Blaze, listen to me,” Taufan said, trying to reason with the little baby.

“We are almost there, just sit for a little longer, okay?” but Blaze was having none of it, he threw himself backward, hitting Taufan’s arm and then lunged forward, reaching for the snacks tucked under Taufan’s seat.

“Snacks!” Blaze demanded through his sobs.

“No snacks until we get there!” Taufan said firmly, shoving the bag further out of Blaze’s reach which only cause blaze’s wails to grew louder.

"Gempa help me!" Taufan begged while struggling to keep the toddler contained. Gempa look at him with a dumbfolded expression while still holding Thorn’s toy with one hand.

"What do you want me to do? I’m stuck between Thorn and Solar at the back" meanwhile solar continued to sit quietly and watching the chaos with wide eyes, finding the situation interesting.

In desperation, Taufan rummaged through the emergency bag and pulled out a candy specially made for babies.

"Okay Blaze, look! Candy!” Blaze paused mid wail with his tear streaked face lighting up as he reached for the treat.

“Only if you sit down,” Taufan said, holding the snack just out of reach, blaze sniffled before glaring at Taufan for a long moment. And then surprisingly plopped back into his seat and let Taufan buckle him in.

“Finally” Taufan muttered, handing over the candy which blaze soon stuck it in his mouth, immediately went quiet and content.

.

.

.

.

The waiting room was a picture of organized chaos, tauufan was bouncing Thorn gently on his lap, trying to distract him with silly faces.

Gempa was occupied soothing Solar who had started squirming with boredom while halilintar sitting closest to Ice’s stroller had his gaze locked on the sleeping baby, making sure he didn’t stir.

For a moment, everything seemed peacefull, but then in the corner of Halilintar’s vision, something moved, his heart sank when he notice Blaze who had been sitting peacefully just moments ago, was now nowhere to be found.

"What the?! Where is he?!" Halilintar whipped his head around in attempt to try to find him, his sudden burst cause taufan to looked up from Thorn, completely startled.

Before he could ask a question, halilintar sigh while his Ruby red eyes gaze at one direction, his eyes follow halilintar gaze where the two spotted him, blaze who was already halfway to the brightly colored kid play area, crawling at a speed that would impress even an Olympic sprinter.

“for galaxy sake” Halilintar stood and started to chase after him while forcing himself to stay calm, better to have Blaze stay entertained with the toys there than start wailing in the middle of the waiting room but he couldn’t just let the toddler roam free.

Upon arriving, halilintar crouched beside Blaze who was sitting on the cushioned floor of the play area, poking at a stackable ring toy with an innocent look that Halilintar didn’t trust for a second.

“Alright aze” Halilintar said quietly, scooping Blaze up and setting him on his lap.

“Let’s stay here for a bit, No crawling off" for a brief blessed moment, Blaze stayed put as he tinkering with the toy, Halilintar allowed himself to relax slightly before glancing back at the others to ensure everything was still under control.

Gempa was busy wiping Solar’s face, and Taufan had finally managed to calm Thorn down while Ice thankfully was still fast asleep.

But then as Halilintar’s eyes flicked back to blaze, his blood ran cold, The toddler’s cheeks were puffed out and his mouth was working in that unmistakable chewing motion.

“Blaze” Halilintar said, his voice sharp with alarm.

“What’s in your mouth?” Blaze froze for a moment while staring at Halilintar with wide mischievous eyes, he clamped his lips shut as if determined to keep whatever it was a secret.

“Don’t you dare,” Halilintar muttered, his pulse spiking.

“Spit it out, now" blaze naturally did the exact opposite, he gave a delighted giggle and turned his head away, refusing to comply.

Halilintar’s calm expression cracked as he gently but firmly grabbed Blaze’s chin and trying to pry his mouth open.

"Whats in the name of cinnamon are you eating?” halilintar muttered, being mindfull to not say any bad word infront of him.

Blaze squirmed in his grasp while letting out a muffled squeal, Halilintar could feel his panic rising as he had no idea what Blaze could have grabbed from the floor, a stray crumb? A toy piece? or something worse.

but the thought of it being a choking hazard was enough to send his heart racing.

“Blaze, I mean it!” Halilintar hissed, trying not to cause a scene as he maneuvered the squirming toddler onto his lap, he held Blaze securely while using one hand to gently open his mouth.

Blaze let out a defiant squeal with his tiny hands batting at Halilintar’s as he wriggled like a fish out of water, finally with a bit of effort, Halilintar managed to tilt Blaze’s head and peer inside his mouth.

A small, soggy piece of crayon sat nestled against Blaze’s gums, halilintar groaned in exasperation.

“A crayon? Seriously? You are not even supposed to have... ugh!” with one smooth motion, he swept the crayon piece out with his pinky finger which blaze immediately let out a wail of protest before arching his back in indignation.

Halilintar stood up while cradling Blaze in his arms as he grabbed a tissue from his pocket to wipe the toddler’s mouth, blaze was still crying but at least the danger had passed.

“Alright, alright. You are fine,” Halilintar murmured, bouncing him gently to soothe him.

“No more snacks from the floor” by the time he returned to the others, Blaze’s cries had dwindled to pitiful sniffles.

“What happened?” Gempa asked, his face filled with concern upon seeing blaze who still sniffling.

“He ate a piece of crayon” Halilintar replied with a flat yet tired expression.

“where did he even get that?” Taufan sighed while shaking his head, halilintar slumped into a chair while keeping a firm hold on Blaze.

“Remind me to never leave him unsupervised for even three seconds again” Blaze now calm gave Halilintar a toothy grin, as if proud of his action which cause halilintar to groaned.

"You are going to be the death of me"

.

.

.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the nurse called out to them.

"Next!" Halilintar and Gempa exchanged triumphant looks as they marched into the waiting room with their troop of babies while Taufan trailing behind with a sleeping ice and their bag.

But the moment they stepped inside, it became clear their victory would be short lived, the room was cozy, filled with colorful chairs and walls plastered with cartoon animals but it was also echoey... too echoey for what was about to happen.

The second they sat down with four tickling time bomb, Blaze decided it was time for chaos.

"WAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Blaze wailed as he throwing his head back dramatically, his cries were loud enough to rattle the ceiling tiles, echoing off every wall like a concert gone wrong.

"what is it this time?" halilintar groaned and trying to calm him down but blaze’s only response was to cry louder, his little fists pounding the air.

As if on cue, Ice who had been peacefully snoozing in his stroller twitched, his face scrunched in irritation and he let out a tiny angry sob.

"Oh sh*t" Halilintar thought internally as he tried to get Ice back to sleep but the baby was not happy with the noise and before any of them know it, Ice’s annoyed sob turned into a full on wail.

"Great, We have two criers" Halilintar sighed, his shoulders slumping as he watch two of his brothers who cry.

Gempa who was keeping Thorn from launching himself at his shirt buttons, glanced over.

"Uh… actually make that three" he said while wincing.

"What?! Where’s the third-" Halilintar whipped his head around and saw Taufan across the room, frantically trying to calm Solar who was on the verge of a meltdown.

Solar’s face was red with his lip trembling as he clutched the air in despair, his favorite block toy wasn’t in his hand, It was gone.

"we will find it soon, don't cry!" Taufan begged, looking like he was pleading with a tiny time bomb but it was too late.

"WAAAAAAAAAAH!" Solar joined Blaze and Ice in their impromptu baby choir, his cries piercingly high pitched, halilintar groaned loudly and gestured at the chaos.

"I swear mom and dad have a patient of a steel" Gempa sighed and pried Thorn’s chubby fingers off his shirt button.

"That i agree" Blaze screeched louder as if to assert dominance and Ice not to be outdone, hiccupped and wailed even louder. Meanwhile solar’s cries sounded like a squeaky car alarm on repeat, halilintar buried his face in his hand.

"This room has an echo, Why does this room have an echo?! Who designed this place?!" Halilintar patient run out as he holding himself back from screaming himself.

"Forget the echo" Gempa groaned while dodging Thorn little hand who had now decided that Gempa’s tie was more interesting than the buttons.

"I think the universe just hates us" Taufan comment as he is so close of joining the crying session as well.

On the other side of the wall, some of the other patients were either confused or laughing quietly at the scene with a little boy whispered to his mother.

"Mom, are those babies okay, or are they practicing for a concert?"

"Quiet" his mom shushed, holding back a giggle.

Just when Halilintar thought his head was going to explode, the door creaked open and the doctor finally stepped in, he froze mid step with a clipboard in hand, staring at the chaos.

Blaze paused mid sob to peek at the doctor, ice’s cries turned into confused hiccups and solar sniffled before buried his face in Taufan’s shirt, going completely silent, even Thorn mid button grab, froze in place.

The room went dead silent.

"Uh... Shall we get started then?"

"Yes" the three of them answer immedietly, in the name of god just get this over with.
