Sleepless Nights

Twenty Six

   "Jack." I whispered down the hall, not wanting Mark to know yet. He peeked his head around the corner, curiosity spread across his face.
"Come here." I whispered. He walked down the hall and I pulled him into the bathroom and shut the door.
"Well this isn't suspicious." Jack said sarcastically.
"Look." I pointed to the test and his eyes widened.
"Are you going to tell him?"
"I want to do it in a really cool way."
"I saw like a spin off of the whisper challenge. Make him wear headphones and he has to keep guessing until he gets it right."
"That could work." A smile was spread across my face, my heart was beating out of my chest.
"Hey Mark. Anna just came up with a really cool video idea."
"Okay, I'll be there in a second."
We walked into the studio and I shoved the test in my sweatpants pocket, my excitement was starting to become unbearable by the seconds that passed.
"Okay, what's your idea?"
"It's just like the whisper challenge, except you'll just be the one guessing."
He nodded and Jack turned on the camera.
"Hello everybody my name is Markiplier and I'm here with Anna and Jack, and we're doing this challenge that Anna came up with literally thirty seconds ago." Jack laughed and Mark started playing music, bobbing his head to the beat.
"Mark Edward Fischbach."
He raised an eyebrow and asked me to repeat myself, it made me and Jack chuckle and I said it again.
"Oh you said my name." I nodded and scrolled through Twitter, looking for something to say to Mark.
"Don't touch the merchandise please."
He nodded and smiled.
"Don't jizz on my puppies please." He said snorting. I laughed so hard my stomach started to ache.
"Now?" I asked Jack, who nodded. He turned to the camera and started whispering.
"Anna, has a special surprise for Mark." He said raising his eyebrows.
"You are going to be a father."
Mark raises an eyebrow in confusion.
"I'm going a little bit farther?"
I shook my head and repeated myself.
"I'm going to be a father?" He asked and I nodded. His mouth dropped and he tore off the headphones.
"Really?" I nodded and he pulled me into a tight hug, he quietly sobbed into my ear. Jack turned off the camera and Mark wiped his eyes and smiled at me, placing a long and passionate kiss on my lips.

  "I think we should go visit your mom." I said as we sat on the plane. Mark rubbed his heavy eyes and agreed.
"She has to meet you sometime I suppose." I playfully pushed him and he laughed.
"First I want to spend a couple days in LA. All I'm thinking about is our bed."
I agreed and put my headphones in, tapping my fingers along to the beat of the song. The week we stayed with Jack seemed to fly by, dozens of videos filled our phones. I was excited to upload the baby reveal one when I got home. Mark squeezed my hand and looked at me and smiled ear to ear.

Unknown number; Still going to the same coffee place huh?
My eyes scanned through the coffee shop, everyone was on some kind of device, making it impossible to know if this person was in this shop. I sat down in front of Joey and talked about being in one of his videos.
"I think we could do some kind of challenge maybe?"
I nodded and he looked at me with confusion.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing. I'm just still jet lagged I guess."
"For two days?"
"It's just been hard adjusting to LA time."
He nodded and took a drink of his coffee, talking about the video when my phone buzzed again.
Unknown number; I know that guy. I can't put my finger on who he is, but I definitely recognize him.
I looked up and my phone vibrated again.
Unknown number; You can't see me, but I can see you. I'm everywhere.
