SUMMARY: KARL INTRODUCES EVERYONE TO HIS MOST FAVORITE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, BESIDES YOU OF COURSE.
While you were downstairs peacefully napping, Karl had managed to sneak both himself, and your newborn son, away from where they'd been cuddled up on the couch watching Survivor, and quietly made his way upstairs, and into his stream room. For once, your son wasn't being as clingy to you as usual, and Karl wanted to take advantage of this, to both introduce his friends, as well as his community to your sweet boy Callum.
Karl announced on Twitter that he had something very special planned, along with that of there being an all new special guest joining his stream. Most people, knowing Karl, assumed the variant of the 'special guest' would be either Quackity or Dream, but these allegations were shut down quickly, as he specified with a retweet who exactly would be joining him.

Instead of his usual chaotic mix of loud and quirky songs he introduced his streams with, for the majority of the duration his "starting soon!" screen had been prominently displayed across his monitor, he played mostly chill, and lofi-music, while he got everything prepared for the nerve wracking event. He hoped that if he chilled out the surroundings Callum wouldn't be as fussy as he normally was, and maybe he'd even be awake to see the entire thing unfold.
He was anxious to see how everyone would react, since he'd mainly been keeping your son away from the public eye ever since he'd been born, for both his safety and yours. You were both the most precious things in his life, and he made it his ultimate quest to protect the two of you no matter what. But with the positivity and love Chris had received from showing off Tucker, Karl had faith in his community that it'd all blow over fine.
Karl held Callum carefully with his left forearm, doing his best to place his little body in a comfortable position for the two of them, one where he could hold him and navigate his mouse at the same time. He unplugged his headphones, so that the two of them could hear all the seemingly quiet commotion coming from his monitor. He directed his attention towards chat, before speaking softly into his microphone. "Chat! You are NOT gonna believe who I've got right now."
His chat filled with a mix of speculations and arguments from those who hadn't seen his tweet, as well as those who poked fun at him for speaking so quietly into his microphone. He switched his display over, as his purple twitch overlay swiftly slid across the screen. He slowly raised his arms up, holding your son close to his camera, before pushing a finger to his lips and making a shhhh sound, even though he was the only one talking. "Look chat!"
Callum had finally woken up, and he was strangely calm. He rubbed his eyes and swiveled his body, twisting himself to face Karl. Karl kissed his cheek and smiled, as his chat exploded with excitement. Several donations flooded in with questions about your baby, questions about you, and overall a sensation of wholesomeness had been washed over the viewers and chat. A particular donation caught his eye, which he gladly answered. In a monotone voice, the donation read off as:
"Hello Karl! Your baby is adorable but where's Y/n!! I miss her!!! I love u have a good day :DD"
He laughed and said, "She's downstairs sleeping, which means I get the little man all to myself!" He blew bubbles at Callum, and continued. "And don't worry I miss her too." After answering a few more questions regarding you, he opened discord and searched through his list of vc's to join, looking for one that would be interesting. He sought his eye on a vc in his server, which had Tommy, Alex, and Tubbo all in one call.
He clicked on the call, as the three were on the tails end of a screaming fit. Tommy yelled above them all, "I AINT DONE NOTHIN BITCH!" Karl quickly turned down his volume, shielding Callum's ears from their ignorance. "Tommy dont swear!@ Tubbo ended the long winded argument, and acknowledged Karl with a friendly, "Hello Karl!" Karl quietly replied to him, hoping they'd get the memo and stop screaming. "Okay- you guys realllyyy need to be quiet," Your son squirmed in his arms, trying to sit and see what lay in front of him.
Karl quickly clicked his mouse from beside the deafen button, and slid it next to the video icon, where he turned his camera on for the rest of his friends to see what he'd been dying to show them. Tubbo audibly awed, while Alex and Tommy cackled like gremlins, weirdly in unison, before Tommy questioned Karl. "Karl is that- is that your child?" Karl nodded, and continued playing with Callum. "Yes Tommy he is 100% my child." Tommy clapped his hands while laughing, and responded to Karl's snarky remark with, "Ay ay ay, just making sure big man, don't know if we need to get Maury up in 'ere."
The four boys continued to make silly jokes for the next few hours, and before Karl had realized it, the clock had promptly struck midnight, and if he wasn't careful he was going to keep your son up way past his bedtime. He glanced at the time on his phone, before having a mini heart attack, and quickly preparing to end his stream and send a raid to Alex's. "Ohhhhhhh crap It's 1 am Y/n's gonna kill me," He used his free hand to ruffle his hair, wondering how he'd explain the situation to you later.
By this late of an hour on any other night, you'd be fast asleep in Karl's arms, or in the event of him streaming later than usual- you'd cuddle up with Callum on the couch and sleep there until Karl was done. But tonight had no doubt been different, and after he closed down his streak and said farewell to all his viewers, he quickly snuck back downstairs to greet you, where you'd still been asleep, with Callum in his arms, who'd been half asleep as well.
He sat with your son on the opposite end of the couch, and much to his surprise, the slight movement of the cushions was enough to wake you up. He apologized, before propping Callum up against his shoulder, letting him fall fast asleep. You yawned, and sat up to face Karl. "Ah geez- What time is it?" Karl avoided the question, and thankfully as you finally woke up properly, seeing Karl hold your son so close to him sent butterflies in your stomach. You smiled, and kissed Karl's cheek. "Aww, my sweet boy,"
Then you leaned your face closer to Karl's shoulder, lightly kissing the top of Callums head, "And my baby boy," Karl smiled and intertwined your fingers. "I love you both, so so so much."
