Setting up the camera, the jittery feeling of going live on your youtube channel after a few days of absence always feels the same. And since he had been away from every channel he could be found on for a few days, Laff did believe he'd owed the fans an explanation.

-Whew, going live never gets any easier…-

Grabbing his mask, he strapped it on over his nose and mouth before clicking the blinking red 'go live' button.

The screen changed to show the go pro recording screen as Laff's eyes widened slightly from surprise.

"Hello there mates!" He waved as he noticed his chat blowing up. -Woah i did not notice this many realized i was gone..- He smiled under his mask and kept going "Yeah Yeah, I have been gone for a while; my bad mates." He scratched his head.

"Yes I am aware it has been a few months since my last video. I have recorded a few videos to release but well.." He laughed nervously "Something has well, came up while editing-"

A sob followed by loud fussing interrupted Laff as he chuckled, getting up "and that something has woken up; I'll be back lads." He moved out of the camera's sight and over to the bassinet in the corner of his room. He smiled warmly and bent down, taking the small bundle in his arms and standing up straight, cradling the bab- no, his son in his arms.

"Oh good morning lad." He spoke softly as the fussing softened, but not ceased. "Oh I know lad, you're hungry, it's breakfast time" he cooed as he started walking back to the computer "I am five steps ahead son."

Laff did heat up a bottle prior to him going live because he was sure his son was going to wake up soon. He left it on his computer base since it does tend to heat up once he plays modded Minecraft or does something that nearly makes it explode.

But with it heating up and cooling off at random, it was a perfect heating pad to keep the bottle warm.

He walked back into frame and grabbed the bottle from the base monitor, looking at his son and smiled softly. "Here you are lad, eat up" he chuckled softly as he held the bottle for his son. Laff glanced up at the computer as he saw what he had expected; a huge stream of comments asking him "YOU HAVE A BABY NOW!?" in a variety of phrases.

He chuckled and smiled "That's right mates, I'm officially a father. Well erh, I will be next week once this tykes birth certificate is finalized." He glanced down "Speaking of, mates, meet my son." He moved his hand slightly to brush back his hair.

"Nadwe"

As he had expected, there were a mix of comments asking where Nadwe came from, if Laff was actually married because of this, and a large portion of people saying how adorable he was.

"Well mates, uh, I see a lot of yous is asking where Nadwe came from. So um, I'll explain." He changed how he was holding Nadwe so the bottle would still be upright for him to drink as Laff used his now free hand to point towards the window "I actually found him outside my apartment complex in a box. No really no joke about it mates, he was left alone in the trash outside while it was pouring outside with no one to hear him...well, except myself of course." He held Nadwe in a tight embrace as he went back to holding the bottle with his hand, "I was throwin' out some trash in the dumpster and well, found 'em"

A lot of comments then came forward for sympathy for Nadwe as Laff chuckled softly "Mates if he could read or respond I'm sure he would thank each and everyone of yous."

Nadwe started fussing quietly and tried to nudge the bottle away. Laff quickly noticed and took the bottle away, checking how much he drank "mnn, two ounces. I-I think that's enough, right?" He looked down at Nadwe as if expecting an answer.

Nadwe hiccupped and waved his arms a bit as Laff let out a small giggle.

Laff set down the bottle and looked back at the computer "I do want to apologize for my absence as of late..and of course inform yous I'm most likely not going to be able to record on my own channel for a long while."

He let out a laugh when he saw the comment that said "Because you won't be able to take your eyes off your son?" jokingly.

"Ah yes mate, that is right. Since Nad here is just a baby I cannot take my eyes off him for a second. Well," he chuckled softly "not like I would want to with how cute he is."

Nadwe let out a soft coo as Laff offered him his free hand. Nadwe grasped onto his hand and pulled it close into a hug as he looked up at Laff with those big dark pink eyes.

Laff felt his heart instantly melt as he smiled happily under his mask "Oh mate-!" He chuckled happily "How could anyone look at you and not fawn over you??" He giggled softly as a comment brought him back to the live session.

"How long do you think you're gonna be gone, gas man?🤔"

Laff tilted his head in thought "Hm, Well mate that really depends. I could return in a few weeks after me and Nadwe here work out a good sleep schedule, could be a month; there really isn't any way of knowing mate. But you lads can still find me on Sock's reaction channel; SocksReact on and off. I suppose I could might as well show up on Memegods channel if it doesn't have to involve me playin' any games."

While Laff continued to ramble, Nadwe gripped onto two of Laff's fingers as he puffed out his cheeks, cooing.

"Of course none would be any horror games; I don't think Nadwe would enjoy it if i woke him up from a jumpscare in the middle of the day or night." He laughed nervously. "Plus it wouldn't be fair to Meme if I had to pop in and out of playing any games if I have to feed Nadwe, change him, hold him or clean him if he-"

Nadwe spit up all over Laffs hand and his own hands as he let out a squeaky burp shortly after.

Laff involuntarily froze up before letting out a soft, defeated sigh.

"...spits up on himself.." -Thank god I'm wearing my gloves, at least..-

"Ah well chat I think that is my cue to close off this video." He laughed softly and gave a small wave with the hand underneath Nadwe before quickly pressing "end live session" with the one covered in throw up.

He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh "Ohhhh Nadwe Nadwe Nadwe…" He looked down at the mentioned baby "Could your timing not be more on point?"

Nadwe didn't answer as he stared back.

Laff let out a small chuckle as he walked over to the bed "You are very lucky I love you son, if oompa threw up on me after one of his benders I would have gone off." He laughed quietly as he laid Nadwe on the bed to take off his soiled glove.

This was the third time Nadwe has spat up so far, once yesterday and another the day before when the gang was still at his place to make sure he was prepared for anything.

He wouldn't forget that moment, it was a hell of a memory.

-

It was 9 in the morning as everyone was getting ready to leave as Oof held Nadwe, patting his back to show Laff how to burp him properly. Well, much to his knowledge.

"See you want to make sure his head is supported while you hold him like this, it does help he is leaning against your chest." He chuckled softly as Laff watched.

Dino was going through the baby book one more time as he scratched his head "I feel like you're missing something.."

Oof shook his head "No I'm doing this right, one of my lacrosse team mates has a baby sibling and this is how I saw their mother doing it!"

"Why were you looking at somebody's mom?" Tbh asked with a smirk as Oof jumped "HEY NO I WAS ON THE SIDELINES AND I HAPPENED TO SEE HER!"

Socks scratched his chin with a grin "So does that mean you like Tbvg?"

Oof and Tbvg both blushed deeply "NO!"

Meme giggled as he covered his mouth. Oompa shook his head and laughed "You two are terrible at hiding it."

Tbvg looked away rubbing his arms as Oof heard Nadwe burp in his arms. He smiled triumphantly and held Nadwe back in a cradle "See? It's super easy!-" Nadwe started making a face as Joocie noticed "Uh is he okay?"

Oof looked down at him "Huh? Does he need another burp?-"

Nadwe let out a squeak as he spits up on Oof's chest.

"WHAT THE FUCK-?!" Oof screamed as Laff quickly took Nadwe back so he wouldn't be dropped. Tbh started laughing in a taunting manner as he held his side "DUDE HE THREW UP ON YOU!" he kept laughing as Woolfster quickly ran to the kitchen to grab a dish towel.

Dino made it to the spot of the book he needed to read and looked defeated "oh, uh...it says here you should have a towel handy in case the baby spits up.."

Tbh kept laughing as Oof looked absolutely disgusted.

Laff couldn't help but let out some soft laughs as he looked down at Nadwe "not even one and you humiliated Oof in front of us mate. Learning quickly for someone your age."

-

Laff chuckled softly at the memory as he grabbed a small towel and gently wiped off Nadwes hands.

"Three days in my house and you are learning the ropes quickly lad." He chuckled and smiled as he picked Nadwe back up. Nadwe cooed and waved his hands as Laff grabbed one gently. "You'll live an interesting life, that's for sure."

Nadwe cooed and babbled quietly as he gripped onto Laffs finger, earning a chuckle from his father.

Sure, now having a baby is going to limit Laffs time on his channel, limit how often he is going to play with the friends he has grown so close to, and definitely limit how much Laff is going to spend. -Mental note, gotta ask for a promotion before he goes to school..-

Shit that is right, with him now having a son to feed and take care of he needs to find a sitter to watch him while he works.

Well maybe not since he knows any one of his friends would jump to the task if asked; hell maybe even fight over it. -like we need more fighting in this group..- then again, maybe Nadwe would bring those who have a strained relationship closer if he is watched by the two.

Any parent or single parent who is fed up more times with their kids than they would like to admit would look at Laff as if he was an insane man.

Laff wouldn't care; no matter how hard it gets, no matter how late he has to stay up or how early he has to get up, how many times Nadwe gets in trouble or does something stupid.

He would know in his heart; it will be all worth it.

Because he is giving Nadwe a chance to live just like a normal child.
