She's so nice, he's so nice
Y/N's POV

I had been in this apartment building for three months... three months.
I was still unemployed- but after some bickering with Mark we decided that two months in to my stay me and Collin would move in with him- as he had a bigger apartment.

I know, crazy.
I got to learn his crazy schedule.
He was a youtuber? Well hey... I mean it's not like I could afford internet so I would have never guessed. He's just so charming and funny...

He seemed to record a lot more of his "quietest lets plays ever" whenever I was home because it allowed him to produce content and Collin to nap- which was good for me too.
I got to relax a lot more. Especially with Mark around. He had no complaints with changing diapers when I needed the help- and he loved spoon feeding Collin which was a plus. He obviously kept it quiet about me and Collin staying with him, as I told him too. I didn't want his fans to freak- and I definitely did not want my ex to find me just incase he has a 'change of heart'.

Mark was currently making us dinner, after volunteering to feed Collin. I was quite happy- no way was I rejecting dinner. He made spaghetti, simple yet satisfying. I, of course volunteered to do dishes. I'd at least clean up after myself... it was his apartment after all.

We were sitting at the table, eating.
"How's filming going?" I asked quietly, making small talk.

"Really well actually! Obviously get a bit sleepy cause I'm so quiet when I film these kinds of videos, it puts you at a peaceful state of mind." He chuckled. I couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Weirdo"
"Hey!" He chuckled,
"How's the job hunting going?"

I nodded, quickly swallowing my mouthful, tilting my head to make eye contact.
"I got a trial week next week as a waitress! They said I can take Collin if I have to... but I was wondering if you could babysit, considering your pretty good at taking care of him?"

Mark instantly nodded. He loved the little guy as if he was his own...

Monday
Monday was tough. Collin said "buhbye" to momma and pouted as she went to work. Mark had kept him busy with food, toys and cartoons. Collin liked Mark, but he cried a lot- missing his mom more than anything.
It got to the stage where Mark couldn't calm him down, and had to call Y/N.
She rushed home and held her baby close, sighing.
"It's okay baby, mommas got you..."

Tuesday
Tuesday wasn't much different- the only difference is Collin let mark sit beside him and watch tv. He still cried- not as much. Instead of Y/N coming home from work, he got to video call her for a few minutes before he decided it was nap time. Mark picked the sleeping child off of the couch and gently tucked him into the crib. He stayed by the toddler for the first hour, before falling asleep in the chair by the crib himself. He lightly snored- which thankfully did not wake Collin.
Y/N came home, letting out a soft sigh of relief. She took a photo of her favourite, sleepy boys before gently shaking mark awake- letting him go to his own room to rest.

Wednesday
Mark actually managed to connect with Collin a bit more. They ate lunch together and played with some toy blocks for a bit. Mark eventually turned on the tv, sitting on the couch.
He almost didn't notice Collin waddling up to him,
"Cubble an I wak too?" The boy spoke in broken English. Mark instantly smiled wide, lifting the boy into his lap and turning his attention back to the tv, holding Collin to his chest.
Y/N arrived home, giggling.
"Having fun boys?"
Collin squealed.
"Mamma!" He grinned, climbing off of Mark- accidentally kneeing him in the groin.
Mark groaned, laughing softly.
"Dear god-"
Y/N just chuckled, hugging her boy close.
"Sorry Mark." She smirked.

Thursday
Collin woke up first- after having a nightmare, and was the one to wake up Mark. He waddled all the way into marks bedroom, pushing the door open and climbing up into bed with him.
Mark stirred awake,
"Hey cub... what's got you up so early?"
Collin sniffles softly and hugged mark as tight as he possibly could- gripping onto the fabric of his sleep shirt.
"Scawy monster ate you and Mommy" he mumbled.
"It's okay Cub. Look, I'm alive and mommy is at work. Nothings happened to Dad- Mark. Mark is okay"

'This isn't my child...' he sighed heavily.
Collin refused to let go of Mark all day. Mark ended up potty training Collin, along with playing more word games to expand his vocabulary. When Collin settled for a nap, that's when Mark filmed a quick video, before relaxing himself.
Y/N came home with a big smile on her face.

"I got the job. I get paid for what I've done this week- obviously still have work tomorrow, but, I got it!"
She hugged Mark so damn tightly, he felt his heart beat out of his chest.

Hers beat too.

Friday
Friday was a fun day- Mark decided to take Collin to the park for the first time. Collin had a blast, deciding the slide was his favourite and the swings were his least favourite. He even made a friend who lived near by.
Mark was so excited to see Y/N and tell her the amazing news. He went to text her- before hearing a deafening scream.

Collin had tripped over and grazed his knee, and considering this boy had lived the past two years as if he was wrapped in bubble wrap- he had never been injured.

Mark took no second to swoop up the child and carry him home- cleaning and patching up the small graze on the boys knee. Kissing it better and everything.
Collin sniffled, the burning on his knee making him block out everything else. He didn't even hear his mom come home.
He hugged Mark tightly.
"Thanks for scawing da monsters away daddy"

Mark smiled sweetly, hugging the boy tightly.
"It's okay Cub."

Y/n knelt down beside the two, smiling softly.
"What did you two get up to today?"

"Daddy took me to the park! I hurted myself but Daddy didn't let the monsters get me any more"

She hugged Mark tightly.
"Thank you."

Mark blushed, hugging back.
"It's okay"
