A/N: OK, so, haven't been on fanfiction in a while ^^' Heh, oops. Anyways, I want to give a shout out to Toothianafairy (She did the cover for this fanfic!), Nami-Kim, Daynadoodles, VickoRano, and Freakxwannaxbe for inspiring me to write this fanfiction about Markiplier babysitting the Game Grumps! (Oops, did I give away the plot? Oh well. Enjoy… :D )
Arin Hanson had texted me early this morning, asking if I wanted to do a collab video for YouTube with him for the Game Grumps' Channel. I sleepily replied 'yes' and got up, getting ready soon after he texted me. I slipped my favorite black Markiplier logo T-shirt on and a pair of jeans. I poured myself a bowl of cereal and began to scroll through twitter and tumblr, laughing and commenting on a few fans' comments. I felt my phone buzz and saw Arin's name pop up again. I clicked on his name and looked at his message.
Arin: Dude! Where are you?!
Me: At home still. I'm eating breakfast. :P
Arin: Please hurry up and finish. We need you here now!
Me: What's the big hurry man? You're acting strange. I'm about finished, so give me 20 minutes to brush my teeth and drive over ok?
Arin: Ok… Just please hurry.
I put my bowl in the sink and ran to the bathroom, brushing my teeth and hair quickly. I grabbed my car keys and ran out the door, locked my apartment up in the process. I drove as quick as I could, hoping that Arin wasn't trying to be a dick about all this and make it into something it shouldn't. I pulled up to the building complex and ran inside. I listened for Arin or Suzy, or someone at the least I was praying would be there. "Guys! Where are you?" I called out, searching the complex until I came upon the sight of six, unattended children in the Game Grumps' gaming area. I knelt down to the little girl and a little boy, about the age of four and six, both of which were drawing on a piece of paper on the floor.
"Little girl? Can you tell me your name? Who's supposed to be watching you?"
"My name is Suzy and his name is Ross… there were no grown-ups in here before we were here."
I looked at the kids and picked up the crying baby, awkwardly rocking him. I saw one kid, a little boy, climbing up a potted plant, only to tip it over and spilling the dirt inside. I winced and sighed. I looked around some more and saw two boys, one kid picking his nose and the other kid drawing a beard on with a marker. "Alright kids, um, Uncle Markie has to um call someone. Can you guys play the Quiet Mouse, Still Mouse game? The quietest kid gets a gummy bear as the grand prize." They all nodded in unison as I pulled out my phone and typed in Arin's number. It rang a couple of times until I heard his ringtone. I looked at the kids and saw the kid who was picking his nose, play with the phone that was ringing. So these kids are… Oh boy. I pulled out the bag out gummy bears and handed each child, except Kevin, a bear.
I rounded the kids up and looked at each of their features. Of course, Suzy and Kevin were the easiest to pick out, being that Suzy was the only girl in the group and Kevin was the youngest of all the Game Grumps. I looked at the boys. Arin was easy to point out, because his hair still had the blonde highlight in it, the black haired boy with the dirt all over him must be Danny, the kid drawing on his face must be Barry, and the last boy, as pointed out by Suzy, was Ross. I scooped all the kids up and carried them to my car. I could faintly smell something coming from one of the kids. I grimaced slightly and buckled all the kids in, except Kevin. I crawled in the driver's seat and lightly laid Kevin on my lap, propping his head up. That's when the smell hit me.
"Oh my God…" I gagged. I need someone to pick up baby supplies, but who? I weighed my options around with the thought of my friends, but I finally sighed in defeat. I couldn't ask my friends to go and buy baby items for me, at least not without getting awkwardly questioned about how I obtained six kids. I drove to the nearest Wal-Mart™ and carried the Grumps inside. I knew I was getting strange looks, but I didn't care. I walked around the store, picking up a few items like bottles, pacifiers, blankets, formula, and stuff like that. I walked up the aisle and looked at the baby diapers. "Crap… I don't know if any of them will need diapers except Kevin."
I looked around, picking up some diapers for Kevin and finally decided on pull ups for the rest of the Grumps. If none of them are potty-trained yet, then the pull-ups will at least help me. I grabbed some wipes and powder along with some toys and clean clothes to put them in when I get home. I picked up some break apart beds (with rails on the sides) for them to sleep on, which was big enough to hold all five kids. I looked at little cradles and decided on a bassinet-looking cradle. I looked around at the car seats and got the age limit recommended seats for each Grump. God, this is going to be expensive, but it will be worth it in the end I guess. I walked towards the front, Kevin in my arms, Suzy sitting on my shoulders, Arin and Danny hanging onto my legs, Barry sitting in the shopping cart, and Ross walking beside me.
I approached the checkout counter and slowly began to put my items on the conveyor belt. The cashier lady smiled at me and walked around. "My, you certainly have your hands full. Let me get the bigger items and then we'll get the smaller items last." I nodded at her as she rang up the beds and car seats. She was quick with each as she walked back around to the register as she began ringing up the smaller items. "Are they yours?"
I blushed at what she was trying to hint at. I cleared my throat and shook my head. "No ma'am. Just some of my, um, nephews and niece in town for a little while. Their parents are having a date night and asked if I could watch them. Heh, they didn't leave me the necessary supplies to handle them all so we had to come shopping."
She giggled at me as she swiped a teddy bear across the scanner. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I wasn't prepared for my first baby either. The first couple of diapers are the pretty bad at first honestly. You'll get used to it though. I honestly couldn't live without my son. He's all I have…"
My heart broke when she said that. I paid for my items and as she handed me my change, I slipped her a generous tip. "Sir, I can't possibly-"
"Keep it. It's a gift from me to you." I smiled at her as I walked out of the store, each Grump squealing and laughing as we left.
TBC….
