"m-mom? what are you doing here?" Kevin ask. Jessica Levin smiled at her son.

"you haven't stopped by in a few months, not since your twentieth birthday about six months ago." Jessica said. she paused walking in. "Kevin, did you have a baby?" Jessica ask confused.

"no. you remember Ben right?" Kevin ask. she nodded and Kevin quickly explained to his mother what was going on. "and I'm stuck with him until she's done with school today." Kevin said. Ben cooed curiously, looking at the women.

"awe, he's adorable." Jessica smiled.

"yeah, when he's not screaming." Kevin muttered heading back to the kitchen. "hungry? I don't have much until I go food shopping later, but I can order a pizza or make you a sandwich." Kevin offered.

"no hon I'm fine." Jessica smiled looking around her son's small apartment. "you have a beautiful apartment Kevin." Jessica added.

"thanks mom." Kevin replied, carrying Ben back to the living room with his sandwich. he sat Ben down on the floor. Ben crawled off after his ball giggling.

"so he's not yours?" Jessica asks again.

"no he's not." Kevin replied. "I don't even like small children. I don't want any." Kevin added.

"so no grandkids?" Jessica ask.

"no mom. just no." Kevin replied. she laughed lightly. Ben pushes his ball over to Kevin giggling. Kevin kicked it away and Ben laughed.

"so did you take him to the garage?" Jessica ask. Kevin nodded.

"yeah, he had a big time, beating Nick with a wrench." Kevin snickered.

"oh really?" Jessica laughed softly. Kevin nodded with a soft smirk.

"yeah, I kinda agreed with Katy when she said she liked him better this way because he didn't put up with Nicks crap." Kevin chuckled.

"does he normally?" Jessica ask.

"for a little while. he puts up with it for an hour or two at most before telling Nick to shut the hell up and then he leaves." Kevin replied. "Ben get away from that." Kevin warned. Ben looked over from where he was about to grab Kevin's lighter.

"why do you keep that there?" Jessica ask.

"for my grill on the back porch. sometimes it needs a little help lighting." Kevin replied, snatching the lighter from Ben. Ben pouted at him, rubbing his eye's slightly. he was still tired from only sleeping about five minutes earlier.

"has he napped?" Jessica ask.

"he tried to, Gwen woke him up. he slept about five maybe ten minutes." Kevin replied. he reached down. "c'mer Ben." Kevin said. Ben didn't even argue just crawled over to him. Kevin pulled him up onto the couch and Ben curled up on his lap. he stretched before falling asleep. Kevin played with his hair gently.

"ever get the chance to tell him how you felt about him?" Jessica teased.

"that he's an annoying little brat?" Kevin ask. his mother rolled her eye's a she stood.

"you'll admit it to yourself one day, how you truly feel. mothers instinct tells me so, but for now, I have to go." Jessica said. she got up and left. Kevin stared after her confused, but with Ben sleeping on his lap contently, he didn't want to get up. he texted Gwen, asking her to pick up a smoothie for him. he looked down at the child and sighed.

"I hate you." Kevin muttered. Ben cooed in his sleep, cuddling closer to him. Kevin shifted him gently as he layed down on the couch and laid the child on the couch beside him, between him and the back of the couch so he wouldn't roll off. Ben cuddled to his side cooing softly. Kevin briefly noticed Ben huffing his side as he fell asleep.

*a few hours later*

"Kev." a voice said. Kevin groaned opening his eye's.

"Gwen? what the hell?" Kevin muttered. Gwen held his smoothie out.

"here. have a smoothie." Gwen said. Kevin nodded sitting up and took the smoothie. Ben yawned rubbing his eye's. "decide to take a nap together?" Gwen ask. Kevin shrugged.

"must've fell asleep after my mom left." Kevin muttered. Ben looked around and hugged Kevin's arm seeing Gwen. Kevin looked at him while sipping his smoothie. Ben cooed excitedly, making grabby motions at the smoothie. "no way you little asshole. you cost me my eight hours today, a pay check, and  I have to watch you tomorrow." Kevin glared. Ben teared up and started crying.

"really Kevin?" Gwen glared. Kevin huffed.

"fine here." Kevin muttered, offering him a sip. Ben squealed happily and took a slurp. "hey, a sip not the entire smoothie!" Kevin huffed. Ben hugged the cup happily. "fine keep it asshole. I'll get a new one." Kevin muttered. Ben giggled and Gwen snickered.

"well, anything I should know before I take him home?" Gwen ask.

"yeah, he's got diaper rash and screams when he doesn't get his way." Kevin replied bitterly, passing Ben over to Gwen. Ben giggled hugging the cup.

"awe big bad Kevy giving into little Benny." Gwen giggled softly. Kevin glared at her and huffed.

"just get the asshole out of here and bring him back by eight tomorrow or I'm going into work." Kevin glared. Gwen nodded and carried her cousin back to her place. Kevin went for another smoothie, then went for a shower. once his shower was done he crashed on his bed.

*next morning*

Kevin groaned, waking up to giggling. he opened his eye's and muttered, as he caught sight of Ben in a playpen, playing with toys.

"guess Gwen was here." Kevin muttered. Ben looked over at him and giggled waiving his ball around excitedly. Kevin stretched and yawned. "what time did you get here?" Kevin ask. Ben coo's reaching for him. "she better have changed you before she brought you over." Kevin added, picking him up.

"ba!" Ben shouted reaching for his ball. Kevin sighed and picked the ball up handing it to him. "ba! ba!" Ben giggled, up at Kevin. Kevin gave a small smile but shook his head and glared at the child, taking him downstairs.

"I still don't like you." Kevin muttered. Ben laughed as he dropped his ball and watched it roll down the stairs. he hugged Kevin's side cooing happily. Kevin muttered ruffling Bens hair gently.

"bin!" Ben giggled.

"yeah. that's you." Kevin replied.

"bin! bin!" Ben giggles hugging his side again.

"oh am I bin? but your name is Ben." Kevin muttered confusedly. "oh wait! vin! you're saying vin! aren't you?" Kevin ask.

"bin! bin!" Ben giggled. Kevin nods slightly and sets him down. Ben laughed going after his ball. Kevin tossed a stuffed bright green rabbit at him.

"here Katy bought this for you." Kevin said. Ben giggled and hugged the rabbit then went back to his ball. Kevin smiled slightly as he made himself some breakfast.

"ba!" Ben laughed. Kevin looked down as the ball rolled over and hit his feet. he looked over at Ben. "ba?" Ben ask. Kevin kicked the ball back over to him and poured some milk into his cereal. he carried his bowl over to the couch and sat down. Ben crawled over and babbled something at him, trying to climb up onto the couch with him. he whined when he kept sliding down. Kevin rolled his eye's, grabbing him by the back of his shirt and pulling him up onto the couch. Ben used Kevin's shirt to pull himself up and stood, leaning over Kevin to peer in the bowl. Kevin held a spoonful out to him. Ben opened his mouth and took the bite. he spit it out, crying at the cold. Kevin burst into laughter. Ben looked at him tearfully.

"sorry Ben, but that was hilarious." Kevin snickered. Bens chin quivered as he looked at Kevin. "alright Ben don't cry. it's alright. just cold." Kevin chuckled softly. he offered Ben another spoonful but Ben shoved it away.

"no!" Ben glared. Kevin chuckled and ate his cereal while Ben played. Kevin smiled at him slightly and gets up to put his dishes up. Ben played with the his ball.

"how about I take you outside while I work on my car?" Kevin ask. Ben squealed giggling. Kevin smirked and carried him outside, taking him to the back yard with him. there was a new, secret car in the back Kevin hadn't told anyone about. he sat Ben down in his fenced yard, only fenced because the apartment came that way. Ben giggled and took off playing with his ball. "stay outta that mud Ben." Kevin warned, then got to work on the car. Ben crawled over watching him curiously. "can I tell you something Ben?" Kevin ask as he worked. Ben cooed as he watched.
