Newsies Short Stories

Kids and Dora

Modern Au.

Jack finally managed to convince Davey to leave their 1 year old son with newsies. They took Alvin, their son, round to the newsboy lodging. Davey was clearly on edge. He was so worried that the newsies wouldn't know how to take care of a child if they could barley take care of themselves.

He had spent the whole morning pacing their apartment being stopped by Jack giving him quick kisses or his son giving his legs a hug.

The three of them went into the newsboy lodging. Davey made Jack five them a listen of the instructions. He then gave Alvin to Jack so he could say goodbye.

When Davey took Alvin back to say goodbye the little boy wrapped his arms around Davey's neck which got a group of 'awwws' from the newsies. Davey kissed his sons head.

"I'll be back soon, little one." He said handing him over to Elmer who had been stood next to Alvin since he walked in.

Elmer was sat on the floor playing blocks with Alvin who was babbling to Elmer. Elmer happily babbled back.

"What are we suppose to do with a kid." Race whispered into Alberts ear.

"He's quite happy with El, at the moment." Albert replied.

"Youse will go crazy when he tantrums." Spot said before moving Races hair out of his face.

A few moments later Alvin was crying and screaming because JoJo had accidentally knocked his tower over. JoJo was getting a hug of Elmer who was trying to reassure him it was an accident.

Race, Albert stared at Spot who was carrying the kid around the room letting him kick him.

"Never knew he was good with kids." Albert said.

"Guess we can have some then." Race replied.

About an hour or two later the boys had manage to calm down Alvin by putting on Dora the Explorer.

Davey and Jack came back to the newsboy lodging a few hours after dropping off Alvin. They could hear the boys shouting so they popped their heads around the door. There was fully grown men next to a sleeping child watching Dora. Did I mention the child was asleep?

"SWIPER NO SWIPING! SWIPER NO SWIPING!" The newsies all shouted while staring at the screen.

Jack and Davey walked in laughing.

"What's going on?" Jack asked.

"He has a tantrum, this calmed him down." Spot said still watching Dora.

"He...had...a tantrum?" Davey said a little confused and scared.

"You've never had that?" JoJo asked to which Davey shook his head. "Ise accidentally knocked his tower over and he wouldn't calm for an hour or two."

Jack and Davey looked at each other and laughed. Alvin had woken up at this point.

"Takes after me." Jack said picking up his boy who had a massive smiled on his face.
