Chapter 2
"that probably wasn't the best idea to bring in here. lot of stuff to pop it in here." Ratch said, pointing to the ball. Katy laughed.
"hey, you wanna try and take it away from him, be my guest." Katy smirked. Ratch stepped back.
"nope I'm good." Ratch said. "get everything he needs?" Ratch ask. Katy nodded.
"as much as I could." Katy replied. Kevin walked in, having been in the bathroom.
"hey, where's Ben?" Kevin ask. Katy looked down, the child had slipped off Kevin's desk.
"he was right here a second a go." Katy muttered, looking around.
"hey! get out of those!" Nick hissed. they looked over and Ben was leaned over a stack of un-mounted tires. Kevin raised and eye brow and walked over as Nick grabbed Ben, who cried. "now what's wrong with him?" Nick huffed as Kevin took Ben.
"I'd cry too if my face was that close to your breath." Kevin muttered. he bent down and pulled Bens ball from the tires, handing it back to Ben. Ben hugged the ball tearfully glaring at Nick.
"alright, it's time you take him back to your place Kevin." Ratch said.
*Kevin's apartment*
he tossed the bags of baby items to the floor and sat Ben down. Ben yawned and rubbed his eye's looking around. Kevin put Bens stuff where in the kitchen on his table, leaving the toys on the ground in the living room. Kevin paused, nearly stepping on Ben when he sat down at his feet.
"Ben, what the hell are you doing?" Kevin grunted. Ben yawned against, reaching up for Kevin, who sighed and picked him up. Ben cuddled up to him and Kevin plopped on to the couch. he looked over at his clock. five hours at work, that wasn't bad though he normally got about eight. he laid back and kicked off his shoe's laying on the couch. Ben curled up on his chest, tiredly watching Kevin flip through the tv channels looking for something to watch. Kevin held him in place with his free arm, not wanting the him to slip off and get hurt. "you know something Ben? couple years ago and I would have just left you at the garage or with Gwen or something, but you really grow on a guy you know that?" Kevin ask. he got a soft snore in reply. he played with Bens hair gently watching a random tv program. "would you believe, how hard it is to keep up the tough guy crap? I know I don't need to be tough around you guys, but I am even if I have a few relaxed moments. it's all an act around you two, just to try and keep you guys away from me, but when I come back from the lake or a mission or even Mr. Slushie, I get... I dunno, lonely I guess. I shouldn't be, I've been alone most of my live, but I am." Kevin sighed. he paused hearing a knock on his door. "s'open Gwen." Kevin called. Ben stirred on his chest, but didn't wake. Gwen walked in.
"awe! cuddling with Ben?" Gwen giggled.
"no, he was tired and this is how I watch tv at my place." Kevin replied. "and keep your voice down, you wake him up you're dealing with him." Kevin added.
"oh, Ben's not that bad." Gwen laughed sitting in one of Kevin's chairs.
"he screamed when Katy held him, he screamed when someone took a wrench or something from him, he screamed when Katy tried to put him in a car seat. he screams and screams. do not wake him up." Kevin glared at her. "what are you doing here anyway?" Kevin ask.
"oh! I was on my lunch break and decided to stop by." Gwen replied. Ben squirmed slightly at her loud exclamation and Kevin glared at her.
"either talk quietly or shut the hell up." Kevin glared.
"sorry." Gwen replied quietly. "have you fed him?" Gwen ask. Kevin gave her a blank look.
"no Gwen, I didn't know babies needed to eat." Kevin said sarcastically. "yes I fed him." Kevin huffed. Gwen rolled her eye's.
"well you don't have the experience with kids I do, I was just checking." Gwen muttered.
"doesn't make me an idiot." Kevin replied. "are you going to come back and get him tonight, so you know, I can go work tomorrow?" Kevin ask.
"oh, no. I was gonna go see a movie with some friends...." Gwen replied. Kevin turned to her.
"oh hell no. I didn't change him into a baby, you did, I baby sat today, you're taking him with you tonight and working on fixing him." Kevin glared.
"make me Kevin. I can leave right now." Gwen hissed, jumping to her feet. the loud thump scared Ben awake and he cried loudly. Kevin glared at her, dropping Ben into her arms.
"you wake him, you deal with him." Kevin said. Ben screamed and cried. Gwen stared in shock when Kevin headed outside to work on his car.
"Kevin wait!" Gwen said.
"bottles in the fridge." Kevin smirked closing his front door. he turned on his radio, just loud enough to drown Ben out and got to work on his car. he layed on his back, pushing himself under his car and mumbles the words to the music playing. Gwen rocked her screaming cousin, trying to sooth him, but to no avail. after almost an hour of trying to sooth him, she headed outside.
"Kevin please help. I've tried everything I can think of and he won't go back to sleep." Gwen begged. Kevin pushed himself out from under the car.
"if I help you have to take him tonight so I can go to work tomorrow." Kevin said.
"I can't. I can't just skip classes tomorrow. besides I have work tomorrow, I work three times a week, you work all week, therefore, I'll take him on the days I don't work and you take him on the days I do work." Gwen said. Kevin paused a moment to think.
"fine but you get to take him tonight, you can bring him back in the morning but I need some time to work on something to disable the omnitrix so we don't have any baby alien running around." Kevin said.
"fine deal. deal. just make him stop!" Gwen said handing him over. Kevin cleaned his hands and took Ben, leading Gwen back inside.
"someone didn't listen." Kevin chuckled grabbing the bottle out of the fridge and giving it to Ben. Ben got quiet hiccupping around it.
"that's it?" Gwen ask shocked. Ben watched Kevin as he sucked down whatever he'd put in the bottle.
"I told you the bottle was in the fridge." Kevin shrugged.
"how was I supposed to know that meant 'if he screams, just shove a bottle in his mouth and he gets distracted'?" Gwen huffed. Kevin simply smirked at her and handed Ben over. "I'm not taking him right now. I'll come get him in a few hours. I still have two more classes today." Gwen said.
"fine, but if you lie to me Gwen, you'll be missing school and work until he's back to normal." Kevin threatened.
"fine." Gwen muttered, leaving quickly.
"so much for you have more experience then I do. you may know normal babies, but I know Ben." Kevin smirked. Ben continued to suck down the liquid in the bottle and played with his foot happily. Kevin laid Ben on the couch and went to make himself something to eat. Ben watched him go, knocking the bottle off the pillow Kevin had used to prop it up. he looked at the bottle and rolled over, getting up onto his hands and knee's curiously. he pulled himself into a standing position to watch Kevin in the kitchen. Ben squealed curiously, catching Kevin's attention. he looked over at Ben. "hey, don't fall off the couch." Kevin warned. Ben watched him and cooed beating his hand on the couch. Kevin chuckled softly turning back making his sandwich. Ben wobbled and fell backwards, falling off the couch. Kevin looked up at the thump. "Ben?" Kevin ask, putting his sandwich down and heading over to the couch. he looked at Ben, who layed on his back looking around confusedly. his lip quivered and he looked over at Kevin. Kevin rolled his eye's and put him on his feet. Ben wobbled and clung to Kevin's pants leg, whimpering. he reached up, clinging to Kevin's pants with his other hand. Kevin sighed and scooped him up. Ben hugged his neck and cooed happily. Kevin looked down at him. he groaned hearing a knock on the door. he walked over answering the door.
