Our Boys

Chapter 10~ Spreading Their Wings

Mark's POV

"Hello everybody! My name is Markiplier and welcome to Five Nights at Freddy's!" I said to my rapidly growing fanbase. I had expected to have to crawl my way to any sort of success, but my YouTube channel had been growing rapidly. And as I grew, I began adding alter egos to my channel. First was Darkiplier, after my favorite edgelord, Demi. A few months later was Wilford who quickly became the symbol of my channel. The King of the Squirrels, The Author and The Host, Dr. Ipler and Googleplier followed them. There were numerous others, but those were the ones that had a special place in my heart. They were based on the women who raised me, after all.

To celebrate my success, I made my way to my mother and aunt's home. I knew they'd be excited to see me; they had been so upset when Jack and I'd moved out and truth be told, I had been nervous to leave them. Visiting them seemed like a good idea. I just hoped they wouldn't be insulted with the characters I'd created and based off of them.

Jack's POV

"Top of the mornin' to ya laddies I'm Jacksepticeye and this is HAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPYYYYYYYYYY WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS," I yelled loudly, while I grinned widely to the camera. I was ecstatic to finally play this game for my Youtube channel.

"Yeah! I finally got around to playing it. I have never played Happy Wheels before in my life," I told the camera, well, the audience.

I played the game for a while, ending the video with an outro before I cut the recording. Being ecstatic about it to get it uploaded to Youtube, I started to edit it right away. I posted it after a good while editing it. When I posted it I couldn't imagine how well that would have been received. This was the start of my career. It was something I was passionate about and well good at.

Through the time on my channel, I started to add on alter egos for myself, taking inspiration from my family. It seemed that people liked the alter egos quite a bit. First, there was Anti, an alter ego based off of Andrea. Later, I added on Jackieboyman, Schneep, and Marvin. I was stunned to see how well my fans liked them. After some time I added on Chase Brody and finally Jameson. I have yet to figure out how to put an ego-based on Racheal but it seemed that my fans have already made one, much to my surprise.

I'm impressed at how well my career choice turned out, the videos, the alter egos, the collaborations, just everything that has blossomed from just starting my Youtube channel back in 2012. Yet I couldn't wait to see my family again, this time back at the mansion. Hopefully, they didn't take offense to the alter egos I made.

Heaven's POV

I had known the boys were going to visit before Mark's car came down the driveway. I had known well before the knock on the door. Call it a blind woman's intuition, or call it a mother's love for her children, but whatever you call it, I had known. And I had said nothing.

I opened the door with a smile.

"Heaven!" Mark said and I could hear the grin in his voice.

"I was wondering when you boys would show up," I said with a sly smile. "You can't enter until you hug me." I felt both boys wrap their loving arms around me and I reciprocated, holding my nephews close. Even though I thought of the boys as my nephews, I had a hand in raising them. Thus making them both my sons and my nephews. And the others felt the same. All but Dil and Carly who solely saw Mark and Jack as their children. But no matter how I saw them, despite my blindness, I was happy they had come home.

Audrey's POV

"Audrey is in the living room," Heaven's voice said as it got louder, indicating she was getting closer.

"Heaven? Who are you talking too?" I called to my twin.

"Heaven is speaking with Mark and Jack. Heaven thought Audrey may have wished to see them."

"Of course I want to see them," I said, as they came into view. "So I see you boys have made parodies of us." Jack rubbed his arm awkwardly and Mark rubbed his neck.

"Are you mad?" Mark asked, his voice low.

"Why would I be mad? You boys are being creative. You're simply taking inspiration from what you know. I of all people understand that. It's interesting to see all of us as men though. Well done."

"You're really not mad?" Jack asked.

"Of course I'm not mad. Rachel is a little upset she doesn't really have a character yet though. You may want to fix that."

"I'll get right on that," He smiled softly.

"Good boy."

JackieGirl-Woman's POV

When I heard the front door open in the living room, I had assumed it was one of the others getting back home. Curiosity bubbled up as I walked out of my room and down the stairs towards the living room. When I saw my two nephews, I couldn't help but feel my smile grow more. I practically lunged and pulled the two into a tight hug.

"I didn't know you two were coming here!" I said quite excited to see my two little nephews again, well they weren't little anymore.

"But look at you two!" I added on as I playfully ruffled their hair a bit, which got a laugh out of Jack and a smile from Mark.

"We thought it would be nice to stop by for a visit," Mark spoke up.

"So we both decided to drop by together," Jack finished up the sentence. I was quite happy that they both dropped by the house. Well, I might as well get the others and have family time together, seeing as the boys are visiting. Let us hope that Andrea or Demi don't start to rub it in that they were the first to be parodied. Not like that was a bit annoying to hear for quite a bit of time.

Jamie's POV

It has been a long journey, from then to now. I never expected when the two boys entered our life that it would have this much of an impact. Yet watching our boys grow up, from those small fragile kids to strong adults that have left the nest.

I think I can speak for all of the others when I say that we are all proud of the two. When the boys had to spread their wings and left, it did impact us a bit, but we did support the two in their career choice. It was funny to watch their videos that parodied us, I don't think anyone will ever know. We are still proud of our boys and what they accomplished.

I smiled as I watched the boys leave after the visit. Despite all the things they went through as toddlers, they are still kind and caring individuals. They may have left to make a name for themselves, but they will still be those tiny kids to us. They will still be our boys.
