...Is More Than Enough (Something More (JSE) Sequel)

Chapter 20: Game Grumps Plus 1

Your POV:

Today's the big day! My first Grump session! Sure, people have been through here all through these last two weeks, but today's my first time filming with Dan and Arin. I was so excited, I woke up before the baby, and cleaned up every room to the best of my ability. I had to make sure I had everything put out and ready to go so Sam wouldn't interrupt us while we were shooting. A little later, I ordered Dunkin' Doughnuts for everybody and set it all up in the bigger kitchen from the old office. Dan and Barry were the first to arrive, just as I expected.

"Good morning, Princess" Danny said, greeting me with our usual hug.

"Good morning, guys!"

"You nervous for your first video with them?" Barry asked, trying to ignore what Dan and I just exchanged.

"A little, but it can't be that bad, it's just playing games with my buddies, the worst that can happen is that Sam starts screaming in the middle of it. I'm more excited than anything." I said with a smile.

"What smells so good?" Danny asked me, sniffing the air.

"I got Dunkin for everyone, it's all set up and ready to go, feel free to take whatever you want!"

"Thanks!" Barry said, making his way over.

"That was very nice of you," Danny said, pulling close, kissing my forehead. "Just eight more months," He said so quietly that I think it wasn't meant to be heard. I smiled awkwardly. In one aspect, I was excited, and my heart fluttered, but in another aspect, I felt sick to my stomach. Not because I hate Dan and would never want to date him, but I am married, and Jack's the father of my child, I don't want to wish that he won't get better so I can date one of my best friends. I pushed the thoughts aside. Today's a happy day, you can think it out later. As I looked up to say something to Dan, Arin and Suzy got here, followed by Ross, Matt and Ryan, and even later Brian and Brent. Once everyone got here, they attacked the doughnuts, and everyone went off to their desks to go to work. I gave Sam his final touches before Dan came in and told me whenever I was ready we could go. I put the baby down, hoping he'd take a nap with all these people here. I followed Dan and Arin into the Grump Room and sat down on that infamous couch between the two guys. I can't believe I'm actually here. And to think, if Sean hadn't been going to Mark's that week, Bf/n and I would still be living in that little apartment together, probably still single, I certainly wouldn't be a mother. Right before we started recording, Arin taped the new intro on his phone from Barry's computer.

"You ready?" Arin asked us. We shook our heads eagerly. He pressed play.

"Hey, I'm Grump (Arin), I'm not so grump! (Danny) And we're the Game Grumps!" then after a second, "Plus one! (Y/n)"

"I love it!" Danny said smiling.

"It's perfect!" I said, trying to stop my eyes from welling up. Arin pressed the recording button.

"Hello, and welcome back to Game Grumps!"

"Heellloooouuu!" Both saying their famous intros.

"We have a new special guest,"

"I'll say," Dan added.

"Who I guess be a new regular for this series, we have our friend, Y/n."

"Hey guys! This is the first video I've been in since, oh probably before the weddings, so forgive me if I'm a little rusty."

"Oh, c'mon, Y/n, you'll be fine." Arin said.

"Yeah." Danny said, both encouraging me.

"Thanks guys!"

"Anyway, what are we playing today, Arin?" Dan asked, trying to keep the video going.

"Oh, right. We're playing the mini games on the New Super Mario Bros! And I'll have you know that you guys are going down!"

"Oh yeah?" I asked

"We'll see about that!" Danny said, laughing.

"Listen you two, both your asses goin' down tonight!"

"Fight me!" I said, selecting the Wanted game.

"Aw, dude, this game is wonderfully easy." (ahh, references XD) Danny was saying, as he gained the first three points.

"Oh, trust me, I know." I said, sneaking the next point from out from under him.

"Dammit!" Danny laughed, throwing his head back.

A Few Minutes Later

The score was an even tie at 50 for the three of us. We're now on level 151, and we're trying to find Wario.

"C'mon, where is the little booger?" I mumbled.

"I don't know, I can't see him anywhere!" the time was ticking down, we had 10 seconds left.

"Where the FUCK is Wario?!?!" Arin yelled, getting antsy.

"Got 'em!!" I yelled happily, waving my 3DS in the air. "Ha HA!"

"Ah man! Next time on Game Grumps!"

"Next time on Game Grumps, we're playing something that doesn't require me scanning the screen up and down for that creepy-ass Wario face!" The episode was ending, and Arin was softly saying "Fuck you, Wario". We were laughing as we picked the next game to play. We had 14 more episodes to film, and they were going to be awesome.

Mark's POV:

After having dinner with Y/n and Jack last night really broke the ice between Bf/n and I. And I'm thankful. I really hate having her mad at me, especially since she didn't even know the whole situation. I know that what she's going through is really tough, and I'm doing my best to pull us through it. I promised her we'd have a child, and we will. Though, I will admit, my current actions between Amy and Jack haven't supported the vows I made to Bf/n. I love Bf/n, I married her, bound myself to her, because I love her. And of course, I loved Amy as well, but that was a different part of my life. And with Jack? Ah man, Jack, I don't know, he's my best friend, and he doesn't even know who he is. And as much as I love my wife, my best friend needs my love and support as well. He needs to figure things out with himself, right now he has no recollection of his past, other than very vague things, and if he has a crush on me, and wants to be with me, let him. Let him do whatever he needs. I have to think, I used to, well, sometimes still have that same nightmare that ends with him kissing me, so that makes me wonder. It's not just him wanting it, maybe sometimes, I think if I wasn't married, Jack and I could be a possibility. Okay, maybe I think that a lot. And now we have the perfect circumstances, but I do have a wife, but I also have a buddy who can't understand how he used to live. In the end, all I hope for is for Bf/n and I to be happy, with or without a kid, and Jack to be his old self again, he can reunite with his wife and meet his child for the first time. Jack has to become himself again, he just has too. In the midst of my thoughts, my wife came up and sat across from me. Man, she's more beautiful every day.

"So, uh, I'm sorry about the other day, I over reacted,"

"No, you didn't. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Amy, she literally texted me that day, and there was nothing going on, I don't know what compelled me to not tell you, Bf/n."

"Mark, you have to promise me if you are going to be friends with her, tell me at least if you want to hang out and catch up. I love you so much, Mark. I don't want to lose you, the last thing I want is for you to end up like Jack..." she wasnt holding back her tears anymore. I scoped her up so she was crying into my shirt. I rubbed her back and kissed her head.

"Shhh, it's ok Bf/n, Amy's not going to do to me what Signe has done to Jack, I promise. This is nothing more than two old friends catching up, ok?" She tried calming herself down.

"Ok." She laid her head on my chest, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. I could tell she has forgiven me and come to peace with this matter. "I love you, dork." She said, looking up at me.

"I love you too, precious."
