A Dad's Responsibility

[hidgerknight]

Celebrating Bdubs' newborn baby, Ariana! Yeah! I decided to write a little fic based upon what a father will do if his child is hurt and in discomfort, hope this changes your perspectives on bdubs and his lack of uploads as of now. Anyways, to the Story!

 

“Daddy, I’m scared...” Ariana silently said to his dad, Bdubs. “Don’t worry, do you want daddy to tell you a story?” Bdubs asked. He was not used to this at all, the “keeping up with a kid” thing, but he tries just to make Ariana happy and knew that her dad is the best in her own world. Bdubs smiled to Ariana, pulled the blanket over her, and starts to tell a story of a land called “Minecraftia” where everything is possible. From building anything you want and slaying mobs and tackling dungeons. Bdubs hoped that his story is perfect and friendly to her, so she does not feel uncomfortable. “...And that’s when Mister Bubbles found out that he was a talented builder.” Bdubs cut off as Ariana’s eyes squint and then close. He smiled and kissed Ariana on the forehead. “Good night, sweetheart.” Bdubs then closed the door to Ariana’s room. As Bdubs walked to his computer, trying to record another episode of Mindcrack, someone called him on the phone, and it was Guude.

Bdubs sighed and took the phone call. It is annoying for him to take calls from Guude. It was the fourth time Guude has called him to do a group collab on a CTM map he found. Bdubs instantly said “Guude, please don’t call me, I’m currently with Ariana now, and i don’t want her to wake up so i don’t need Nicole to calm her down again.” Bdubs then closed his phone call, and walked to his computer. He opened minecraft, and started Fraps, but his feeling does not let him to. He felt “Uncaring.” As he would explain it himself. He just wanted to be with his new child, and getting used to keeping up with his new child. He shrugged the feeling and continued recording

For the few days, Bdubs haven’t posted any videos because he is focused with playing and teaching Ariana what he knew, about his living and about his hopes and dreams, and Ariana always listened intently about what Bdubs explained to him. It made Bdubs’ heart soften, seeing his first child getting inspired.

Bdubs felt happy about his child’s education, but he does feel a little concerned about Guude and his Channel. So after serving Ariana her favorite food, Bdubs quickly snipped around and went to his computer, logging into his account, and quickly updated his Description, so it says : “Sorry for lack of videos, it has just got to me that taking care of a child is not quite easy, and people should understand this by the time i made an announcement in Twitter, so stop spamming my channel, Everyone, and cope with this for a little while. I will upload some more videos in about a few days or so, so you guys can still have entertainment from me.” Bdubs then pressed Enter. He took a breather and got back to Ariana, who asked for more of her favorite meal, and ofcourse, a great dad Bdubs is, he gave her another bowl of her favorite snack.

This Cycle went for a few days until Nicole went back to town, and Bdubs can do more videos freely without getting questions from Ariana. But he heard some words from his daughter himself, talking with her mother. “Please, Mommy, i want to play with daddy!” “Don’t, Ariana, Daddy has to entertain people so we can still eat and live here, so let’s just play with Mommy, okay?” “Aw, Mom, please, I don’t want to be scared at night...”. That sentence jabbed Bdubs in the heart. His daughter that he loved so much still wanted to play with him... He still had to do work too though. It’s a hard decision for Bdubs’ life for awhile, but he managed to make a schedule with Ariana, counting when she will be with Bdubs and when she will be with Mommy, and Ariana agreed with it. One night though, Bdubs got carried away with hs schedule, and as he tried to wait for his video to finish uploading, he fell asleep.

A few hours near the morning, he woke up in his bed, following with screams and gunshots inside his house. He jolted awake from it and panicked. One thing that crossed his mind is Ariana in danger. So he ran into Ariana’s room to find her, with a bullet wound at the leg. “Dad... It hurts... why is people hurting me?”

Ariana asked, voice low and filled with sadness. Bdubs gasped and ran to her shelf, taking a bandage from the box that he took. He put a bandage and alcohol to a table and started pouring down the liquid to the bandage. “Ariana, if it hurts, hold your blanket.” Bdubs urgently asked Ariana to. She nodded and held her pillow tightly, waiting for Bdubs to wrap her wound in bandages. Bdubs then slowly wrap the alcohol covered bandage to her wound, carefully so she does not feel afraid. Ariana shed a tear and squeezed her pillow. “Dad.. wh-Aaaaaaah!” Ariana cried out as Bdubs pressed the wound with the bandage, and pinned it. He instantly hugged Ariana and carried her, caressing her hair. “It’s okay, sweetie, it won’t hurt for long.” Bdubs tried to calm her down. “But daddy... I’m scared...” Ariana writhed. Bdubs was hurt that his daughter was hurt, but atleast he was still there to keep her from dying. “Don’t be scared... Daddy is here... Here, let daddy put you down.” Bdubs put Ariana down to her feet, but she winced when her wound was throbbing, making her cry once again. She fell to her knees, and almost fainted, but Bdubs won’t let her.

“Please, please, please, don’t die on dad, Ariana, don’t!” Bdubs whispered to Ariana, who is in verge of fainting because of the wound. Bdubs wanted to cry, but he just can’t. He does not want Ariana to cry. Not like this. “Dad... why am i feeling tired...?” Ariana asked Bdubs. Hey eyes started to close up and her body giving up. But Bdubs ran, he just ran, through the neighborhood, to the nearest hospital. As he ran through the doors he ignores the reception, and charged to the doctor’s room. “Doctor, this is urgent, please get the bullet out of her body.” Bdubs pleaded. “Okay, but this will take a long time, so you sure that you want to do this operation?” the doctor asked. Bdubs nodded urgently, handing Ariana over to the Doctor. “Dad...” Ariana whispered as she was taken to the operation room. Bdubs’ hope was almost broken, her daughter getting shot and no one to help him. He had to do it though, so Ariana will be cured.

Five hours later, the doctor got out from the operation room, and informed Bdubs about the Bullet removal. “Mister John BdoubleO, the operation is successful, the bullet is out from her leg, but she needs to have rest for an extended time, so it is probably fne if you want to visit your daughter.” The doctor told Bdubs. “Thank you, Doctor...” Bdubs trailed off, before the doctor said “Doctor Jeff Sano.”. Bdubs was surprised Jeff worked in his nearest hospital, so he cried on his own palms, and pulled back.”Jeff! Thank you, Jeff! What can i do to repay you?” Bdubs asked. “Not much, just three stacks of Stained Clay in Mindrack.” Jeff smiled.

“’Kay, I’ll probably repay you later, when i can get on the server.” Bdubs said. “Well, better visit your daughter now, or else she’ll be mising you.” Jeff motioned Bdubs to follow him. Jeff took Bdubs to a clinic room, where Ariana is sitting on her reserved bed, reading a book. “There she is, but you need to take good care with her movements, because she isn’t allowed to move her legs yet.” Jeff told Bdubs. “Okay” was the only word Bdubs can say before walking to Ariana. As he approaches the bed, Ariana greeted him with a big smile. “Daddy!” She exclaimed. She was with Generik, feeding Ariana her bowl of favorite snack.

“Heya, Bdubs! Ain’t expect’n to c’ya here.” Generik greeted Bdubs. “Daddy, Uncle Judson gave me a book!” It’s your pictures with him!” Ariana looked so happy at telling Bdubs about the B-Team Gallery. “Hey hey now sweetheart, its the B-Team Gallery! Uncle Genny owns it, so you probably should give it back to ‘em before you head home tomorrow.” Bdubs laughed. “Ey Bdubs, it ain’t no problem, ‘cause it’s just a copy of it! I still have the real one in my safe!” Generik laughed too. “Daddy, what is B-Team?” Ariana asked. “B-Team is a team of me and Daddy, flim-flammin’ fools along the way and we love Emeralds!” Generik explained to Ariana with a funny voice, he even made her smile. “Y’Know, Generik, if i had another kid, i’ll probably give ‘em to ya.” Bdubs joked. “I Ain’t gonna not accept that offer, it if ain’t for the B-Team Hermit, Baby!” Generik seemed so happy about Bdubs’ words.

“Remember though, i’ll flimflam you some time later, partner.” Bdubs chuckled, while Generik followed suit. “Daddy, if i grow up, can i be in the B-Team?” Ariana asked. “Maybe you can ask Uncle Genny about that.” Bdubs pointed to Generik. “Ofcourse y’do, just remember to Flim Flam!” Generik emphasized the word Flim Flam, even motioned his hand when mentioning that. After a few minutes of chatting with Generik, Ariana asked something that made Bdubs heart shatter. “Daddy... will this happen again to me or no?” Ariana suddenly asked Bdubs that.

“Daddy won’t let it happen again, Ariana. Dad could not afford to lose your mother and you.”
