Baby Brother

19- Park Play

*Nate's Perspective*
I immediately ran to the play set, happy no one was here, that was what I thought anyway. "Nate! Come back here!" Josh yelled, knowing he didn't like me running off. "I got him!" Marcus said as he ran after me with Moose and Lefty following him. I giggled as I went down the big slide, stopping when I saw water at the bottom. I began crying. I'm stuck. I really didn't want my butt to get wet! "Nate baby, what's wrong?" Marcus asked as he stopped at the bottom of the slide, Moose drinking some of the water. "Wet!" I whined as I pointed to the puddle at the bottom. He sighed. "Okay baby," he cooed as he lifted me over the puddle. "Up and over we go!" He said as he did. I immediately ran off again right after I was put down. This is fun! I begin to giggle as Lefty happily followed me, her purple bandana now a bit crooked around her neck. "Nana! Wait!" Marcus said as he chased me, I could tell he was starting to slow down. I giggled more as I looked back. I was suddenly snatched up by, what I hope was, one of my bubba. "Stop running," Joshua said as he bounced me in his arms. "Let me go!" I whined, as I begin to squirm, causing Lefty starting to bark. "Promise to stop?" He asked, tears forming. "Josh stop, he's just playing," Timothy defended me, which I felt greatful for. "I know, but I don't want him hurt," Josh kissed my head. "I Sowwy..." I sniffled. Josh sighed and let me down, causing Lefty to attack me with kisses, wiping away my tears. I giggled. "Stop it!" I scratched behind her ears. I suddenly hear a whistle, causing the dog to stop and run off. I look up to see Marcus, praising her. He loves that dog, not as much as me, but he loves her. Everyone loves me most! Right?

*Josh's Perspective*
It had been a while since we all got some fresh air, it was a nice feeling that I had missed being stuck in bed for the past week. I was a bit confused as of why our baby boy doesn't like Dillon. Did they have a rough relationship? Did he hurt him? What was the problem? I guess I'll have to ask later. For now, I'm going to have a bit of fun playing with my younger brothers. I was supposed to be their older brother, their role model, after all. I loved them all, even if they messed up, even if they got on my nerves at times, I would never leave them. "Yoshi!" I hear Nate whine out, I can tell he's crying but have no idea why. I quickly rush over to him. "What's wrong baby?" I asked as I picked him up. He then pointed to a boy who was about his age, maybe a bit older glaring at him. "Are you alright? What did he do?" I asked as I rubbed his back. "H-he push me!" He sobbed. This got me all angry. I gave him to Marcus before marching over to the boy. "Sweetie, where's you're caregiver?" I asked sternly. The boy looked to me as if I had just threatened him, not that I didn't. He hesitantly points over to a quite muscular guy who was on his phones. "Oh? And what do you think he'd say about your behavior?" I asked, getting all dad-like on him. The boy said nothing as he looked to the ground. I then marched over to the guy. "Excuse me," I said as I tapped his shoulder. "Can I help you?" He asked as he looked up to me. "Yes, I can't help but notice your son is being a bully," I said. "My little Bram?" The man asked as if in disbelief. I nodded. "Yes, your son in the blue shirt," I said as I pointed him out. The man gasped and stormed over to the boy who looked like he could now use a diaper change. Looks like my work here is done. I walked back over to my baby and kiss his head. "I love you," I said as I stroked his beautiful brown hair. The boy giggled a little as he hugged me. I took him from Marcus. "How about we go home," I sighed as I bounced him a little. Nate nodded. "Otay Bubba," he said as he laid against my shoulder. I told the others to get into the car and we drove home while listening to my Paramore cd, but it wasn't on a high volume so that Nate can sleep. He's such a cutie. I hope that kid gets what he deserves. No one messes with my brother.
