CHAPTER 2: NEVER DROP YOUR KID
With their love song, Jack and Maddie were soon in love and were immediately wed, becoming husband and wife. Many months later after their wedding, Jack cuts his mullet which was now short, still wearing the same jumpsuit but without a coat. As for Maddie, her hair isn't curly but tied up in a ponytail. She was now wearing a turquoise blue hazmat suit just like Jack's, but had a hood with red goggles. Maddie was holding something as she and Jack saw it with pure joy. It was their newborn baby boy. The baby had crystal blue eyes with pupils almost like Maddie's and raven black hair like Jack's.
"Jack?" Maddie asked giving the baby to Jack, "You got him sugar?"
"Yeah," Jack said wrapping a blanket around the baby and holds him, "Oh yeah. He's safe and warm."
"Hold him tight now." Maddie spoke softly.
"Whoa, I think I felt a move in him." Jack said as the baby cooed and wiggled.
"So what are we gonna name him?" Maddie asked.
"I don't know yet," Jack said, "I know! Jazmine! Wait, that's for a girl. How about Jack Jr.?"
"I don't know," Maddie said.
"Well, we'll think about it when you come back," Jack said to Maddie. They hold each other's hands tightly and let go gently. Maddie was starting to leave her husband with all the women leaving most of the men who were holding their babies also.
And in the usual way, the moms left for the hunting season while the dads stayed home to do baby time.
"You gonna be okay, Daddy?" Maddie asked Jack, still leaving.
"Oh, sure, honey," Jack called out, "We'll be waiting for you right here on Lonely Street."
Maddie smiles and turns to the crowd of women, joining them in song.
Maddie: I love you more and more, tell me why
"Bye-bye, now." Maddie called to Jack, sweetly with a smile.
"Goodbye, Maddie," Jack called out happily, still holding the baby, "Don't you worry about a thing."
Maddie: Don't wanna let you go
I never can say goodbye, boy
Jack and the men wave goodbye to the girls leaving, as Jack and the boys took care of the kids.
It was winter and a blizzard in Nicktoonia. All the dads, clutching and holding tightly to their babies, were coming to form a crowd. From up top on a hill were the elders with Squidward as the head elder and leader. Squidward calls to the crowd and commands them what to do, like some kind of ritual.
"When all others leave…" Squidward called to them.
"…We remain!" All the elders and dads called to him.
"When the sun vanishes…"
"…We remain!"
As the dads coming, Jack was singing his Heart Song to calm himself, still holding the baby.
Jack: I'm feeling so lonely
I'm feeling so lonely
"Heed the wisdoms, brothers!" Squidward commanded, "Make a huddle!"
The dads and Jack huddled them selves, still holding their kids.
"Warm thy baby!" All the elders chanted.
"Make a huddle!" Squidward called again.
"Share the cold!" the dads cried huddling together.
"Share the cold," Jack repeated.
"Each must take his turn against the icy blast," Squidward called, "If we are to share the endless night."
The dads followed orders as Jack are nearly in his own little mindless world.
"Raise your voices, brothers!" Squidward commanded, "Give praise to the Great One, who put songs in our hearts, and food in our bellies!"
All the elders chanted and the dads huddled up. Jack was in his own world, almost losing grip of the baby. He hears Maddie's sweet and wonderful voice.
Ain't no particular song
I'm more compatible with
"Oh, baby," Jack cried, "I think I wanna dance now." He dances. Suddenly, he lets go of the baby and Jack see this.
"Ahh!" Jack cried coming to the baby, "No, no, no." The baby drops on the snowy hard ground, all covered the snow. Jack comes to get him.
There is a wisdom, brothers and sisters, that stands above all others. Never ever no matter what, drop your kid.
Jack, with worry, comes to the baby and digs him up. He wipes the snow off him and covers the baby with a blanket.
"It's okay," Jack said to himself, holding the baby, "No harm done. See?"
He looks at the baby, but wasn't crying. The baby was motionless. Jack clutches the baby to his ear, to hear that the baby was still breathing. For now. Jack holds the baby tightly and comes back to the crowd.
The crowd sings and chants, but Jack sings and chants even louder, hoping the baby was okay and all right. Still, unknown to Jack, dropping the baby was the biggest mistake of his and the baby's life.
