My Missing Piece (A Mavin Fan Fiction)

The Big Bear

Gavin and I got woken up around three in the morning by Lily's cries. I went to go see what was wrong, but my mom walked past the room of the door of the room and stopped me, "Go to bed sweetie. I got this." I just yawned and went back to bed. Gavin pulled me close to him as we both went back to bed. When we actually woke up six hours later, we got dressed quickly and my mom called us out to eat breakfast. She had made eggs, bacon, and sausage. "You boys eat and go out to an arcade," She smiled and slipped me two one-hundred dollar bills. I pushed it back at her, "We aren't taking your money. We have enough." Gavin nodded to back me up. My mom just pushed it back at us, "Michael, I know how hard to us to raise a kid. I know how much money it takes. Would you take it if I said it was an early birthday gift?" If I said no she'd probably sigh and walk away with the old 'I never get listened to' excuse. I sighed, "Alright, fine. You got me." I handed my plate to Gavin who cleaned them off and stuck them in the dishwasher. "Let me go put this in my wallet and get my phone and then we can leave," I patted Gavin on his back, grabbed the money, and headed towards the bedroom.

I took my wallet off the nightstand and stuck the money in it. I walked into the bathroom and put in my contacts after stuffing my wallet, and phone, in my back pocket. I heard Gavin talking to my mom out in the kitchen so I snuck into Lily's room to say goodbye. She was awake and had a big, cute grin on her face. "Hey baby, aw look how cute you are," I pick her up and held her above my head for a second before bringing her down to cradle her in my arms. "Daddy's gonna go out with your other Daddy and possibly some friends. You stay here and be good to grandma, alright?" She went to hold my thumb with her tiny hand and I swear it was the cutest thing ever until she said her first word. I almost dropped her, but I didn't. Her cute little baby voice that was just started to put letters together said "dada". A smile grew on my face and I heard a gawking noise and turned to the door. Gavin was standing there with his phone out. "Micoo she called you Dada! She actually said something!" Gavin walked over and kissed my cheek before kissing Lily's forehead. Lily yawned so I kissed her forehead too and set her back in her crib. Gavin walked out of the room with me in tow.

We said our goodbyes to my mom before hopping in my car. We waited in the driveway for a minute though, so I could check something on my phone. "I can't believe you used baby talk and I caught it on camera," Gavin chuckled. I shushed him, "You've done it too! Now hush so I can call Ray." "Wot are you calling him for?" I flailed my hand out at him and held my phone up to my ear, "Hey Ray." "Hey dude! What's up?" "Not much. Gav and I were about to head out to the arcade. Do you and Tina wanna tag along?" "Hell yeah! The one by the mall?" "Yep." "We'll meet you there in like an hour dude." "See ya," I said and hung up. "Aw yes! Bloody Ray's coming?" Gavin cheered. I nodded and started to drive to the arcade. Gavin was reading something pretty intensely on his phone. "Whatcha reading there, buddy?" I asked as I pulled up to a red stop light. "Did you know people write stories about us?" He looked over at me and looked on the verge of laughter. "Yeah, they do it for like every freaking person on the internet basically. It's called fan fiction dude," I chuckled. That hit Gavin's 'button' and he broke out in laughter. I had to focus on driving again as the light turned green.

"OH god, Micoo. There's one and it's just ace! It's so detailed, but so hilarious. Apparently we've got a dog and we moved to a two-story house," Gavin exclaimed. I smirked, "That actually sounds ideal. Just wait till you get to the fucking like - the ones where they start shipping themselves with us it's great. I read this one and it got up to like fifty-five chapters and my god. It was about how this girl's character was your little sister and she and I got married and had a kid and it was so well written that I couldn't stop laughing." Gavin chuckled, "OH! Take a right turn up here!" I switched lanes and pulled into a strip mall parking lot. I saw the giant red sign for the arcade and pulled up to it, finding the best spot. Gavin and I got out and I locked the car before we waited at the entrance of the building for Ray and Tina. Ray ran up to us while Tina walked behind him shaking her head and grinning. Gavin hugged Ray and I jumped into it. "It's a lads reunion!" Gavin shouted. Ray chuckled, "Man I missed you guys. We haven't talked in months. What's new?" I shrugged, "We had a baby." Ray looked flabbergasted, "How did- What?"

After we explained the whole baby story, we greeted Tina before barging into the building and buying a shit ton of tokens. We hit all the games we could and got as many tickets as possible.
"Hey love, lookie what I got," Gavin smirked at me, holding an armful of tickets. "Damn, Gav. Where'd you win all of those?" I turned to him. He just shrugged and I picked up all my tickets. "Let's go cash all this in and get stuff," Gavin led me over to the front desk where we cashed everything in. I got a lot of candy and bunch of silly string to mess with Gavin. Gavin got one of the biggest stuffed bear for Lily which was adorable. He kissed my cheek before putting our stuff in the car. Ray and Tina came back over to us, Ray holding eight stuffed animals and Tina walking around with a mystery box. "Hey guys, wanna hit some laser tag?" They nodded and Tina spoke up, "We're going to put this stuff in the car and meet you there!" I nodded and watched them walk out the door. Gavin came back a second later and pulled me into a hug, picking me off the ground. I gave him a funny look, but kissed his forehead before he put me down, "What was that about?" Gavin pointed to Ray standing at the door with a camera and twenty bucks in his hand, "He bet me I couldn't lift you up."
