"We're almost home," I told Amy as we walked down the street knowing that she was getting hungry. As soon as we arrived at the apartment I went straight to the fridge to grab our leftovers only to find that the box was empty. "The hell?" I said under my breath. I searched the cabinets for something else tp give her before settling on another bowl of cereal.
"I hope this is okay," I said placing another bowl of fruit loops down in front of her.
Without any argument she began eating it even though it was the same thing she had for breakfast. "I got to do some schoolwork on my computer," I explained "so, when you are finished just place your bowl on the counter and you can put on some cartoons or something."
She nodded and went back to eating her lunch, I sat down across from her and pulled out my laptop and was just about to log into my computer when I felt s tiny tap on my shoulder.
"What's up?" I asked turning to face her.
"Can you come watch with me?" she asked in a soft whispered.
I smiled at her; she had just said her first words to me.
"Please uncle," she pleaded gently tugging softly on my sleeve.
At first, I told her I had finish my work but the sad look she gave me made me change my mind and in the end I found myself sitting on the couch next to her watching cartoons. It was at that moment when Cartman came walking through the door and noticed right away what we were watching.
"Oh, my fucking God," he smirked as he stopped in front of us completely blocking our view of the tv "are you seriously watching My Little Pony?"
I ignored him as my niece looked up at me before moving a bit closer
"I always knew you were a fag," he laughed shaking his head finally moving out of our way.
"Okay Amy," I said slowly standing up "now I really do have to get some school work done."
"Alright," she said just loud enough for me to hear.
"Maybe later we can watch a movie together," I replied giving her a small smile.
She went back to watching her cartoons allowing me to start school project. "I heard your ass got dumped again," Cartman said happily as he joined me at the kitchen table.
I chose to not answer him because nothing made him happier than to see me upset over my break ups. "You know she was hooking up with some other guy because you were not man enough to satisfy her.
"I don't care!" I snapped balling my hands into fists giving in to Cartman what he wanted. He smiled as he continued "Yeah apparently she wanted to be with a real man and not just a dirty dish boy."
"Shut up!" I warned feeling a mix of hurt and anger coming over me.
"Hey Dudes," Kenny greeted walking out of his room at just the right time.
"My niece is right on the couch!" I said pointing out that he was only in his boxers.
"Shit, I forgot!" he gasped rushing back to his room to find a pair of pants...
I glanced over to the living-room only to see that my niece was way more focused on her cartoon then what was happening in the kitchen. A knock on the door loud knock on the door took me by surprise "Who the hell is that?" I asked under my breath as I got up walked over to answer it because heaven forbit Cartman would ever get up to do so. I felt my heart stop when I looked out of the little peep hole and saw who was standing there, I swallowed hard as I opened the door.
"Mrs. Stevens!" I greeted "What a surprise."
"Save it Mr. Marsh," she said pushing her way into our apartment without being invited in.
"Please come in," I said under my breath as I closed the door behind her "What brings you here?"
"I'm doing a home check to see what kind of place Amy will be living in," she replied turning to me "that's not a problem is it?"
"What?" I asked shaking my head "No, please make yourself at home."
"Just give a tour," she said coldly pulling out a note pad and pen.
"Okay," I sighed showing her to the kitchen...Where she was met with a pile of dirty dishes..."I see you don't believe in cleanliness here," she said with a raised eyebrow
"Oh no I do," I replied "it's just that we just got home not too long ago."
"Mr. Marsh!" she snapped "this place should always be clean or else I will make sure that Amy is taken far away from here."
"I know but…." I tried to explain but she cut me off "Now show me where the child is sleeping."
As I walked past Cartman I saw him smirk and to get back at him I quickly shot up my middle finger at him. Mrs. Stevens turned back at me and narrowed her eyes..."Well Mr. Marsh?" I showed her the way to my room where she looked around "And where are you sleeping?" she asked glaring at me.
"Right now the couch," I replied
"I see," she said writing something down on her pad of paper...
"Yes... well am I planning on looking at places for rent with two bedrooms," I said bravely "I mean everything happen so suddenly I wasn't at all prepared for any of this."
She marked something down on her paper before walking to the door..."You have twenty-four hours to clean up this mess or else Amy comes with me; do I make myself clear."
"Perfectly," I replied giving her a fake smile.
The moment she left Cartman started laughing like an asshole..."You are so fucked."
"Shut up!" I hissed "most of that mess out there is yours and you know it."
His smile faded as he replied, "Well don't expect me to clean any of it...I mean no one told you to go off and bring home a stupid kid. Besides you are the one that is a professional dish boy, so cleaning this dump should be easy for you."
"So, what'd I miss?" Kenny asked with a smile as he rejoined us wearing a pair of jeans and tee shirt.
"Dish boy here has to clean up this entire apartment or else he's going lose his niece," Cartman smirked walking over and adding a new plate to the already large pile of dishes.
"Really?" Kenny asked turning to me
"Yeah," I sighed
"Don't worry dude I'll help you," he said patting me on the shoulder and glancing over to the young girl sitting on the couch.
Cartman laughed again as he to walked off leaving the two of us standing there wondering where to even begin. Amy slowly got off her spot on the couch and came over to me and placed her hand into mine. I looked down at her and she smiled up at me making me feel just a little better. "Well," Kenny said walking over the sink "I think we should start here but first we need to get some tunes on." I watched as Amy's face lit up when he offered her a clean towel "You get the most important job of all," he said to her giving her a quick wink.
"Here," I said pulling a chair over so she could reach "just be careful."
"I will," she replied.
Two and half hours later it took to clean the kitchen and living room, after helping 'Uncle' Kenny with the dishes Amy helped me wipe things down. Once we were finished all three of us plopped down on the couch and put feet up on the coffee table. "Dude," Kenny breathed "it looks awesome in here."
"Thanks for helping," I said, "I really appreciate it."
"I mean it's my apartment too," he shrugged "besides now I can bring classier chicks back here."
I shook my head "Oh and Stan," he said, "Amy and you are welcomed to stay if you want."
"Thanks," I replied, "but I think that it's best that I find a different place to live."
He nodded "I understand."
"Uncle Stan," Amy whispered tapping my arm "I'm getting hungry."
"Okay," I replied getting up from my spot "I just have to grab my wallet and we can go."
"Are you going to come with us Uncle Kenny?" she asked sweetly turning to face him.
"Yeah sure," he replied quickly getting up.
"Go get your shoes and put them on," I told her.
She nodded quickly rushing off to put her shoes on, when I returned I noticed that she had them on the wrong feet... I smiled before saying "I think you need to switch feet."
"Oops," she replied looking down at her feet.
"Here let me to help you," I said sitting down on the couch and calling her over to me. She placed her feet on my legs as I switch the shoes and tied them for her. "There you go," I said giving her a small smile.
I got my own shoes on and waited for Kenny to join us so we could be on our way. "So, what are we thinking about going to eat?" Kenny asked as he rejoined us.
"I don't know," I replied, "maybe just fast food."
"Fast food?" he repeated "I'm not really in the mood for fast food."
"Then what are in the mood for?" I asked
"Dumplings," he quickly replied, "Chinese dumplings."
After we ordered our food Kenny leaned back in his seat "If you ever need any help with Amy you should know that will I always got your back."
"Thanks," I replied happy that he was being so supportive about my niece. In fact, he even offered to watch her after I told him about my shift change at work. "No really dude," I said, "I could never ask you to do that with the hours you work."
"It's cool," he said waving it off "I'll just sleep for a few hours before you go to work and then a few more once you get home."
"I really don't know how to pay you back," I said feeling like some weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
Before heading home after dinner we stopped at the store to pick up some snacks other things that Amy would eat. Only walking in for a couple of things but coming out with a few bags full. With my hands full Amy somehow managed to convince Kenny to let her ride on his shoulders all the way home. I quickly put away Amy's snacks in a spot I knew Cartman would never look which was good because no sooner had I finished Cartman came walking in with some half naked red head.
"Aww!" she shrieked when she saw Amy sitting at the table coloring in her new coloring book that Kenny bought her..."You didn't tell me you had kids!"
"He doesn't," I said firmly stepping out of the kitchen "she's with me."
"You need take your niece to your room right now," he demanded "or you could just leave."
"Let's go," I said turning to my niece and helping her gather her coloring book and crayons to take to my room.
"Here," I sighed handing her a pair of headphones "I want you to listen to music."
She looked up at me as if to ask why but I shook my head "Trust me okay." She nodded as taking my headphones and placing into her ears. I breathed a sigh of relief because I knew just how thin these walls were and how loud girls like that were.
No sooner had I settled with my laptop to study did Ms. Red Head start shouting "YES...HARDER...FUCK ME HARDER!"
"Taffy likes it rough," I heard Cartman laugh.
After awhile it grew quiet and I was thankful for that, I looked over to see that Amy had fallen asleep. I got up from my desk and walked over very carefully removing her coloring book from underneath her. "Amy," I whispered as I gently picked her up and placed her on my bed "time for bed."
"Please don't leave me," she whispered grabbing ahold of my shirt.
"I'm not going anywhere" I said softly sitting down beside her on the bed where she quickly snuggled up so close me. My plan was to wait until she had fallen asleep before I would leave but I ended resting my eyes for what I thought was only a few minutes but when I opened them I realized I had been asleep for hours. "Shit," I mumbled under my breath as I tried to sit up, but she was pressed so tightly against me that I could not want move without waking her up. So, I did the next best thing, I somehow managed to scoot myself down until my head was on one of my pillows and fell back to sleep...
