Chapter 4

"You gotta jump!" States Tim, the boy's hands reaching towards the laughing baby "Come on, it's a piece of cake."

The baby laughs once more, clapping his hands together in excitement for the game "No, no patty cake, get down!"

The baby cries at the boy's sudden turn to anger, moving farther away from the outstretched hands.

"Don't cry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please don't cry!" Begs Tim, hands covering his shaky mouth in fear.

The baby ignores the boy and lowers even more into the rocket. Tim looks frantically around the area, desperate to find some way of getting the infant into his arms as the rocket prepares for launch, debris beginning to fly all around.

Biting his bottom lip and hands fidgeting Tim looks towards his little brother as one plan comes to his mind, with hope the boy began the one thing the two enjoyed.

"Black birds singing in the dead of night"

The baby stops crying, eyes now watching Tim, said elder brother hesitantly continues to sing "Take these broken wings and learn to fly."

Tim takes a few steps closer, hands slowly reaching out as the baby wipes away his tears "All your life" The baby tentatively begins crawling toward the now motioning hands "You were only waiting for this moment to arise."

Tim continues motioning for the baby to jump, the now happy baby doing exactly as asked "Gotcha!"

Tim runs as fast as he can to the next open room, his hands tightly protecting the baby from the fire and flying debris as the rocket takes off.

"Yeah!" Cheers Tim as the mission is complete, the boy's attention turns to the infant currently in his arms "Hey, are you still in there?"

The baby chuckles and turns towards the baby formula, his hands reaching outwards. "Aha!" Tim gets the hint and runs over, lowering the baby just enough for his tongue to catch a leaking drop.

"What happened? Did we win?" Asks Boss Baby as he takes in the new surroundings.

Tim smiles "We won!"

"We won?" Questions Boss Baby, he needed the confirmation the mission was in fact complete.

"We won!" Repeats Tim, the boy now moving around in a circle, spinning while holding Boss Baby in triumph. "We won, we won, we won!"

Boss Baby suddenly goes limp and begins to snore, causing Tim to stop and freeze "Victory nap, wahoo!"

Boss Baby and Tim rub foreheads when a loud cry is heard from the large container, super colossal big fat boss baby emerging. "You've ruined everything!"

"Woah" states Tim as he begins backing away "Ew!" Declares Boss Baby in disgust

Colossal baby falls to his back on the ground, the fat infant wildly kicking his legs and thrashing his arms "It's not fair!"

"That's not right" whispers Tim

Colossal baby moves to stand, staring down the two boys' and readjusting his large diaper "Now you're really going to pay!"

Boss Baby quickly jumps from Tim's arms in defense, rolling up his sleeves as he approaches "Oh yeah? It's time you pick on someone your own size."

The two babies yell and begin to run at one another, but before either can reach, Eugene lifts his baby brother off the ground and into his arms.

"Eugene! Put me down, you hear me? I am the boss of you!" The infant is silenced by the man holding his binky inside his mouth, long enough for the child to calm down and fall asleep.

Eugene turns towards the boys, clears his throat and speaks in a low, smooth, velvet tone "This time, we'll raise him right."

"I'm sure that's gonna turn out fine." States Boss Baby as the two men begin walking away.

"How are we going to get back? Mom and dad must be freaking out!" Says Tim

"Relax, I got us two tickets home. Our flight leaves in half an hour." Speaks Boss Baby as he pulls out two first class plane tickets

"How did you get those?" Asks Tim

"Uh, doesn't matter what does is getting you back home." Declares Boss Baby, his small hand grasping Tim's to pull him along.

...

"Ladies and gentleman and those in coach, please buckle your seat belts for take off."

Boss Baby reads the paper as Tim watches the window tentatively, his small body shaking, eyes clenching closed repeatedly "What's wrong Templeton?"

Tim continues to shake, his eyes darting from Boss Baby to the ground "Um, my parents always hold my hand during take off."

Boss Baby's eyes widen in understanding.

Tim's eyes clench closed once more as the plane begins to move, fingers digging into his arm rests ... Suddenly all his fear is taken away at the familiar feeling of a hand.

Tim looks down in shock to see Boss Baby's infant hand grasping his own "Thanks"

"Don't mention it" responds Boss Baby

Tim bites his bottom lip "Hey, Boss Baby?"

The baby forces his focus away from the paper, Tim scratches the back of his neck "I wanted to thank you for rescuing me ... You saved my life."

"Well, I did get you into that mess to begin with." Berates Boss Baby

Tim shakes his head "Still, you came for me after everything I've done to try and get rid of you."

"Well you offered to help me after I threatened to kick you out of your own family."

"Not to mention you and the baby patrol chasing me down in my own backyard." Laughs Tim

The Boss now smiles, this kid really was something else. Minutes pass before the awkward silence is ended once again

"So, what happens now? Are you ... Are you going to leave?" Asks Tim tentatively

At this the Boss halts, he himself didn't know where to go from here. The mission was complete, so he should get his promotion "I don't know"

Tim looks away "What if ... What if I don't want you to go anymore?"

The Boss had to strain his ears to hear the boy's whisper, his heart fluttered a bit at the thought of staying with his new family.

Tim's head snaps to attention, his body jumping up as a smile graces his face "I know what to do!"

Tim turns to the baby, eyes a light with hope "Boss Baby, I would like to offer you a job."

"A job, that's your big idea Templeton?" The Boss tilts his head in confusion, but listens none the less.

"It will be hard work and there will be no pay." continues Tim

A job with no pay? Who in their right mind would take that? Where is Templeton going with this?

"But the good news is that you can never be fired. And I promise you this." Tim smiles at the look he was receiving

"Every morning when you wake up, I will be there. Every night at dinner, I will be there. Every birthday party, every Christmas morning. I will be there."

Fireworks began going off in the boss's mind, his heart filling as he now hugs his big brother.

"Year, after year, after year. We will grow old together and you and I will always be brothers, always."

Boss Baby was overjoyed at this turn of events, however, one little thing stopped his inner celebration, there wasn't enough beads for the two of them.

Tim, as though reading his mind states one last thing "Even though I never went to business school, I did learn to share in kindergarten and if there isn't enough love for the two of us, then I want to give you all of mine."

The brothers hug tightens as the final decision is made, Boss Baby wasn't going back to Baby Corp, he was staying.

A glance at his briefcase suddenly jolted his memory "Oh, I almost forgot!"

Tim and Boss Baby separated as the case is opened, the boss playfully handing over a recovered old toy

"No way!" Tim's eyes widen as his mouth drops open "Lam Lam!" The boy takes the toy into his hands, the left eye now sporting a blue button, black tie hiding the neck stitches "You fixed her!"

"Yep, good as new! She's a tough one." Beams Boss Baby

Tim takes Lam Lam into his right hand, left hugging his baby brother once more "Thank you, little brother"

The Boss pats his hand on Tim's back, his head burrows into his brothers shoulder, happy tears stinging his eyes. "Anytime, big brother"

The Templeton brothers fell into a graceful sleep in each other's arms, smiles adorning their young faces as they continued their plane ride home.

And there you have it! I had to keep certain scenes from the movie in the story, I just had too! Still not as heartfelt as the actual ending, so you've all gotta watch this movie! The boys' are saved and the mission is complete.
