Max's POV

I was sitting on the couch with my phone when I heard a knock from the door in my right ear. I look at dad who was sitting across from me having a confused look walking towards the door. As he opened it, nobody was there.
"It's a ghost!" I said in a joking matter.
"Yeah probably." He said quickly.
Why did he say that so fast? I decided to leave the situation be.

While I was in the backyard with Chica, I heard the same knock. I peek around the house to see just some kids running away laughing their asses off. I walk in front of the house and they saw me.
"What are doing?" I say.
"Who are you? Why are you at Markiplier's house?" The boys responded.
"First of all, you didn't answer my question. Second of all, I'm his daughter."
"We're just pranking people. And Mark doesn't have a daughter! Lire!"
It was only 10 am so he wasn't going to upload the video we had made yesterday until a bit later.
"I'm not lying. He should be posting a video at noon ish, talking about me."
"First can we have proof? Can you bring him out here?"
"He's recording right now, you'll see the video at 12 ok?"
"Fine."

I went back to the yard to see Chica sun bathing. All I could do was laugh and rub her belly. My dad walked outside and scared Chica with the crunch of the grass.
"The knock on the door was just some other kids. They asked why I was at your house and they wouldn't believe me when I said you were my dad."
"Well the video is going up at 12 so they can watch it later."

Marks POV

I watched as Max started to play with Chica again. Taking in how lucky I am. How lucky I am to have a child, be able to take care of them, and relieve them from a life that could have killed them. Max and Chica were the perfect family that I needed. My own family. I can't wait to take her to Vidcon next month. She's gonna be in the panel, meet a bunch of people, and see my friends in person. I wonder how she will react when she knows that she will see Jack?

Time Skip To 2 Weeks Before Vidcon

"Max! I want to tell you something!"
She walked into my bedroom wearing her pj pants and my flannel.
"Is that my flannel?"
"Yeah you said I could wear it whenever it's not on you."
"Anyway, I have some big news for you. So who is your favorite person in the world?"
"You." I was touched that she said me but also felt like an idiot because I think that was kinda obvious.
"No, beside me."
"Jack?"
"Your going to be coming to vid con with me. Your gonna meet Bob, Wade, and Jack."

Her face was priceless. She ran over to me and gave me a huge hug. I had never felt my flannel like this before. It was on someone much smaller than me, it was warm, and filled with joy. I hugged Max as tight as I could without hurting her. She broke the hug and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you so much!" She said.
I was in shock. I felt the tears forming in my eyes. She kissed me. I have gotten kissed before, but this was so different.

I was sitting on my floor just thinking of what had happened for 20 minutes. I heard footsteps walk in my room. Slipper socks that held the body of my child appeared in front of me.
"Dad? Are you ok?" She said sitting crisscrossed in front of me.
"Are you crying?"
"Maybe..."
"Why?"
"When you kissed me I was thinking. I had never gotten a kiss like that before." My face got red from the embarrassment.

She brought me into a hug that I will remember forever. I release the hug and gave her a big kiss on her forehead. She looked down as her face was going red.
"See?! Now you know how I felt!" I said
"Uggghhh, lets have peanut butter on some gram crackers before we both turn your room into an ocean of tears." She said with a giggle.

She gets up with no problem but then looks down at me still sitting on the floor. I reach out my hand. All Max could do was sigh, roll her eyes, and pull me up from the floor smiling with joy.

Max's POV

I had my head propped against his leg. He was sitting on the couch while I was on the floor. His knee was not my first choice for a pillow at 10:30 at night, but it would do for now. We were just watching a movie. My eyes could barley stay open and sleeping on his leg would not work. I crawl onto the couch and use his arm as a pillow instead.

Marks POV

I grabbed my phone and took a picture for Instagram. 'This is the happiest I have been in a long time. I love you so much Max❤️😘'. I posted the photo then looked at it a few minutes later.

I went to knock on her door the next morning but saw a note.

'I'm in the front of the house with the kids that were knocking on the door. I thought I could try and make some friends before I start school. ~Maximoo'

A small smile spread on my face seeing that she used the nickname I gave her. I hop down stairs and walk outside to see her, another girl, and 4 boys talking and laughing. I felt a rush go past my legs as I see Chica running across to them. Good thing my street is never busy. The boys went inside while the girls walked Chica back to the house.
"So who's your friend."
"This is Cameron"
"Hello!" She said with joy.
I do a polite wave but she got a text.
"Hey Max, I got to head home. I'll talk to you tomorrow though!"
"Ok, bye Cam!"
"See ya!"
They gave a friendly embrace and Cameron started her walk home.

"Seems like it's easy for you to make friends?"
"I'd say so."
"Well I'm glad. Do you want to record a video with me? I was thinking we could play prop hunt with the guys?" She had a big smile on her face and nodded quickly. We took turns playing the game. She was pretty good for her first time playing. After she left the room and the recording stoped, Jack asked shyly,
"Please tell me she's gonna be at Vidcon?!"
"Uhh, duh! Why would I not bring her!?"
It took Jack a little bit to reply.
"I'm just excited... I'm proud of you for doing this Mark. That takes some serious balls."
"Thanks Jack, she's exited to see you too." I said
"Ok, cool. I'll talk to yeah later man."
"Okay wuv you" I said jokingly
"Wuv you too!"
With that, the call ended. I feel like I've gotten so much closer to Jack. I don't know how I feel about myself anymore. Do I like him? More than just a friend?
