After I had straightened my dress for the hundredth time, Amy wrapped her hands around my waist.
"Hey, it'll be fine."
I didn't really wanna see my brother's ex and I did not want to tell her I have her baby. But Amy convinced me to go to the funeral.
"Hey guys, you might wanna see this."
Mark called out for us.
We walked out of the bathroom and into the living room to be greeted with the news about my brother's demise.
"Well, now we know he killed himself."
"That's rough."
It really was.
"Do you think your older sister is going to be there?"
Amelia and I had gotten close after we got older and her wife was the best thing that happened to our family.
"She might be. She did hate him, but they were related. I really don't want to think about that right now, we'll just  have to see."
Amy nodded and hugged me. "It'll be fine, at least I'll get to meet your parents."
"That'll actually be quite nice, they like me for me."
"I'm glad, baby"
Amy took the keys to our car and drove to the small cemetery where all of my relatives were. Amelia immediately ran to me and hugged me while whispering: "You got the kid? John really despised Chrissy, huh?"
She let me go and lead me to my parents but not before meeting Amy. My parents looked tired and absolutely terrified of what happened to their only grandchild. "Oh my god Y/N! I'm so glad you have him!" My mother shouted. She noticed Amy Ana greeted her and smiled at me. "That's one wonderful surprise at this exhausting moment."
Amy smiled sadly and went to meet me dad while I was hit by the reality of seeing Chrissy.
She walked over, said nothing and hugged me. "I'm glad you got my baby. I'm not stable, Y/N. He ruined my life."
My shocked look made her laugh and all of the relatives there looked at her.
"Chrissy, what the fuck are you talking about? You're his mother, how could I get the baby? Why are you unstable and how was your life ruined?"
"Your brother was an awful man and I knew that from the start but being me I needed to fix him. I tried and tried but he stopped loving me and our baby. He didn't want to even look at him and I started getting drunk. I'm just out of rehab for this but I am not going to be able to take care of him in this state. I don't love that child, Y/N. I hate him. I don't want to but I do."
"Oh my god. Don't worry, I will take care of him and I will make that my life's purpose."
She picked up her bag and exited. I was left there stunned and on the verge of tears comprehending what had happened. Amy saw me and ran to see what had taken place to leave me like this. "Baby? Are you okay? Do you want to leave." I nodded and went to say goodbye to my parents. My mom then spoke. "Y/N, I love you and I wish John had turned out more like you. I understand why you have to leave. I understand what John did to you is awful and I haven't forgiven him either but he's still my son. And Amy, you are wonderful. I hope you stay and I would love to call you my daughter in law at some point." My dad agreed and we left. I cried the whole way home and couldn't stop. Amy tried calming me down but I just couldn't stop. All of our friends except Mark had left to go to LA so they wouldn't make me even more stressed.
After I stopped crying the only thing I could say was: "This vacation sucks, you guys."
Mark immediately laughed and hugged me while Amy was changing our baby Mark.
"I know, but we're gonna be alright, don't worry."
Those words seemed to calm me down but the only thing I needed was to sleep, a lot. I went straight to bed not even bothering to change. It had never been so quiet in this neighborhood. Every person in this damned neighborhood knew. The media knew too. There were headlines about what we're going through and it got so bad that Mark had to upload.

"Hello everybody, my name is Markiplier and we have to discuss something very important. I understand that when you're a popular YouTuber, you make some sacrifices like your privacy but at this time, please respect mine, Y/N's and Amy's privacy. A lot has happened in these past weeks and already media has made money over it! I find that absolutely disgusting because we are human and we need to deal with things without media making it their new front page article! You guys have been incredibly supportive and I love you for it but please respect us. I will be taking a break to help my friends take care of their god child and I will see you in the next video!

(End)

I guess some fans went crazy but I think we'll be fine. I know how much my friends and now my girlfriend and baby mean to me.
Maybe I can forgive him one day.
