A Secret

Smg4 slowly began to feel his eyes open when he felt the brush of the sunrise on his face. The first thing he opened his eyes to this morning was to see none other than Beeg Smg4 who looked like he was watching over him which was sweet but Smg4 didn't know whether to feel threatened or not.

"Oh...Beeg..." He rubbed his eyes awake, "Morning."

Beeg Smg4 only smiled in return as a means to say it back, if only he could say it back. Smg4 felt the baggage of last night start to settle in, it was the longest night that 4 ever had to endure but that's what he gets for letting his ego get in the way. Smg4 took quick notice of his surroundings and once his eyes started to get into focus, he noticed that Smg3 was no longer in his bed or even in the room for that matter.

"Oh, I guess 3 left then..." Smg4 sighed, "Oh well, guess that just leaves you and me and the ki-"

Smg4 felt his heart drop when he realized he didn't have the baby in his arms anymore. He jolted up from his chair and started to look all around the room in search of her but she was nowhere to be found; she wasn't even in her basket.

"Oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. Smg3 is going to kill me or worse." Smg4 bit his fingernails, a bad habit of his whenever he was agitated. "Wait here Beeg, I'll be right back!"

Beeg Smg4 was upset to see his father figure run out of the room to leave him all alone like that but he knew he had good intentions for doing so.

Smg4 nearly kicked down the kitchen door in a fit of being filled with an unknown source of adrenaline but he soon felt it all come crashing down on him when he saw that the kid was in the safety of Smg3. 

Smg3 stopped what he was doing and looked at 4 as if he were crazy, "Um...good morning?"

"You...her...good..." Smg4 chest heaved, "Oh man...I..I think I need a minute..."

"Okay weirdo...you do you..." Smg3 resumed back to what he was doing so he could try to feed the kid some sort of pathetic-looking breakfast; The kid had some sense because she wouldn't eat after countless tries, "Oh come on kid, you're not making this any easier you know?"

"You're...you're feeding her?" 

"I'm trying to, this kid is so picky." The child in 3's hands almost threw the spoon across the room, "See what I mean?"

"I don't blame her, If you were trying to feed me...that," Smg4 grimaced at the sight, "I would lose my appetite too."

"Well, I can't just not feed her."

"Hold on, I have an idea."

Smg4 went straight into the refrigerator in hopes of better food while Smg3 tried to keep the kid still in his arms. It was like she was asking for something with her countless babbles but Smg3 didn't have a clue as to what; 3 might be a good dad but even this was too much for him to handle.

"Hey, can you maybe hurry up?" Smg3 tried to calm his nerves, "I'm afraid this kid will fall out of my arms or something"

Smg4 poked his head out of the fridge, "Chill out, this will only take me a second." 

"Oh, that's rich coming from you." 

 "Shut up will you?" Smg4 then walked out of the fridge and in his hand was a simple banana. He then went to work on trying to make it edible for a baby but look pleasing to the eye at the same time.

"Smg4..."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm getting there." Smg4 slowly walked up and sat down across the two with the mashed banana in a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other, "Think you try to keep her still while I do this?"

"I'll put the emphasis on try," Smg3 started to lightly bounce the kid on his leg, and that kept the kid laughing for the most part.

Smg4 had to take another breath to prepare himself for this one, "Okay kid...open wide." Smg4 started to do an airplane as a means of feeding her which was a better attempt than what Smg3 was doing, "See? This is much better." 

"Whatever..." Smg3 snickered to himself as he watched Smg4 feed the kid. It was priceless to see Smg4 like this but at the same time, Smg3 felt a part of himself feel proud of him but he wasn't going to tell Smg4 that. 

Smg4 raised his eyebrow at 3, "What?"

Smg3 tried to hide his smirk, "Oh, nothing."

Seeing a smirk out of Smg3 couldn't help but bring one of Smg4 as well but the mood suddenly churned when there were slams out the castle doors and a familiar-sounding squid along with a fat Italian. 

Meggy's voice echoed across the castle, "Hello? Smg4?"

"4!" Smg3's voice became dangerous now, "Why the hell are they here?" 

"I don't remember!" Smg4 shouted, "Aw shit! We can't let Meggy see the kid, We have to keep her a secret! Maybe we can hide her somewhere."

"Um, hello? Where are we supposed to hide her? The ceiling?"

"Well, we gotta do something!" Smg4 started to bite on his nails that was until he saw that Beeg Smg4 just stepped right into the kitchen and that was when a light bulb clicked in Smg4's head, "I think I got an idea."

"Heh?"

"Smg4?" Meggy shouted again, "We're here for...uh...why are we here?"

"For second breakfast!" Mario happily exclaimed, "Or should I say 5th breakfast?"

"Er- right, red"

Meggy was about to walk into the kitchen but before she could even open the door, Beeg Smg4 walked out of it first looking oddly suspicious than usual.

"Oh, Hey there Beeg!" Meggy smiled wide, "Is 4 in there? We're kind of looking for him."

Meggy wide smile slowly shattered when she saw Beeg Smg4 bring out two guns from behind his back with the look of kill written in his eyes, a look that scared both the crap out of Meggy and Mario.

"H-hey, no need to get violent here." Mario slowly backed away with Meggy. 

"Y-yeah!" Meggy gulped, "So how about you...put down the gun...and we'll be on our...merry way!"

"I'm so sorry for this," Smg4 muttered to himself through the door, "Okay Beeg now!"

Once the signal was out, the shots were fired left and right, up and down, and all around the castle walls. Meggy and Mario ran all over the place trying to avoid Beeg Smg4's reign of terror but while they were distracted, Smg4 and Smg3 made their move and started to book it to Smg4's room once again to hide away.

Smg4 locked the room as tight as he could while he struggled to carry the kid in his arms, "Okay, we need to get her out of here and fast!"

"Okay here's the plan! You watch over her and I'll-" Before Smg3 could think of finishing that sentence, there was a sudden ringtone.

"Hey, that must be from mine." Smg4 struggled to get his phone out of his pocket and his eyes widened when he saw the caller ID, "It's 1 and 2...what could they want?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know?"

Smg4 answered the call, "Hey there 1, 2 what's-"

"Smg4! Smg3! No time to spare! Get to the forest and fast!"

"The forest?" Smg3 took the phone away from Smg4's hands, "Why?"

 "There's no time to explain!" Smg1 earnestly replied, "We think we just found Smg5!"
