Take my hand...

Hide and Seek

Mark's POV~

I hear giggles throughout the castle. I smirk as I float around.

"Jaaaaaaaaaaack!" I call in a song.

I hear more giggles.
I peek around the corner and see Tim under the sofa, Sam above the fireplace, and I can see Jack's green hair poking out from under a blanket.

"Hey. Hey is that my Jacky?" I ask, walking over.

He gasps, slightly scared.

"I can smell your fear." I joke before I scoop him up and hold him like a father would his child.

He giggles loudly as I hold him.

"I win!" I smirk.
"What about Sam and Tim?" Jack asks.
"My goal was to find you. Besides, Tim's under the couch and Sam's over the fireplace."

He giggles and cuddles into my chest.

"Silly Markimoo." He says happily.

I smile and kiss his head.

"Do you want some lunch?"
"Sure." He says as I hear his stomach growl.
"Bea must be hungry." I chuckle as I carry him to the kitchen and sit him on the island.
"Well, I am only 2 months away from giving birth. Maybe she wants out. I could give birth any time if she moves a bunch."
"Please don't give me a heart attack." I gulp at the though of him going into labour at any moment.
"A heart attack? Why would you have a heart attack? Don't you want our Coffee Bean?" He asks, tearing up.
"I do Jack. I really do but just the thought of you having her at any moment freaks me out. It frightens me even."
"Why?"
"I don't know what to do in that situation. My biggest fear is I won't be able to help you when you need me to."
"Mark. It's okay to be nervous." He smiles sympathetically.
"It is?"
"For an expecting father it's very natural. You're excited but feel like you're drowning when it comes to the end of the pregnancy."
"How do you know this?"
"The books I read are all on pregnancy." He shrugs.
"Fair enough." I say as I sigh and start to make him lunch.

~Le Time Skipé~

Jack is on my lap asleep. I put on a movie and he went right to sleep. He's so cute.
He stirs but doesn't wake. His hands are on his stomach.
I can hear our heart beats. His, Coffee Bean's, and mine. I smile, my heart swelling with pride.
They both are my world and I couldn't ask for anything more. They're both the most perfect gifts I could ever ask for. They are my pride and joy. They are mine. And I could never want anything else.

~TimeSkipl~

Jack giggles as he comes into my study as I read.
I smile at him and he gives me a box.

"Me and the baby got you something." He smiles.

I'm hit with sudden dread.

"Marky what's wrong?"
"Get behind me." I say, getting up quickly.

He hides behind me and I look around the room.
A spear comes flying out of the vents and impaled me.
Jack gasps and grips the back of my shirt.

"M-Mark." He whimpers.

I rip the spear out of my chest and turn to him. There's a bloody wound on his chest. Right where his heart is.
He collapses into my arms and I hold him close.

"Jack!"

His eyes slowly close.
I teleport us to our bedroom and lay him down.

"Please Jack, stay with me!"

*Welp. Please don't kill me. I'll fix it I swear! After my week hiatus. See all you lovely masturbation nekos in the next chapter!*
