Listen To The Thunder

"Daddy stop that, you keep it up and imma forgive you." Kevin smiled softly to his father.

"Now, we wouldn't want that." Alex chuckled sarcastically.

"Well I dont want to. You'll never know what you did, ask Rick, he watched, he dont know how bad it really was but I guarantee it wasn't funny..."

Alex sighed.
"Baby, I'm sorry, but I do want you to forgive me eventually."

"I know daddy...."
But did he really understand how bad it was? No one but Mike had said anything to him about Kevin, no one else seemed to care enough to tell Alex about what he did.

Rick kissed Kevin's cheek as they arrived at his and Mike's home.

Mike ran to the door and glared at him, Jessica hugging him around the waist.
"You two left and told me NOTHING! I WAS WORRIED SICK!"

"I'm sorry baby. We had to go." Alex smiled softly. "It was important."

Mike huffed and then stared at Rick.
"Why are you carrying him? Is he okay? " Mike pulled Kevin away from Rick and started making sure he was not bad hurt.
"Who hit him?" Mike guested to the busted lip and bruised cheek, glaring at Rick as if he had done it.
"Rick did he piss you off again?"

Rick shook his head furiously.
"No. Sydney hit him..."

"Why in the fuck did she hit him? " Mike glared at Rick still.

"What are you glaring at me for?" Rick sighed. "Mike, Sydney hit him because I left her. For him. I'm in love with your son."

Mike then glared at Kevin.
"You used words on him didn't you? STOP TALKING TO PEOPLE SEE WHAT YOU DO!" Kevin flinched. It was not like his mother do act like this...something was wrong. Mike turned to Rick. "You can't be with him! You can't leave Sydney!"
"But momma!"
"Kevin shut up! Im warning you." Mike pushed Rick. "Go!"
Kevin took his mothers hand. "Momma dont you p-"
Mike had turned and smacked him across the face.
Kevin was knocked backwards, clutching his jaw.

Rick thought nothing of who that was. All he knew was that someone had just hit his lover. He pushed Mike backwards onto the floor.
"He is fucking pregnant! Don't touch him!"
It was a chain reaction now.
Mike hit Kevin.
Rick hit Mike.
Alex hit Rick.
Alex punched Rick square in the jaw as he ran to check on his husband.

Mike sat there in shock for a moment before he realized what he had done, he had hit his baby. Mike tripped is over hos own two feet as he scurried over to Kevin. Mike took Kevin's face in hands and carefully caressed the forming bruise. "Oh baby im so sorry! You know I didn't mean that, I was just out of my head, I dont know what I was doing I was just upset and...." Mike went on before Kevin gently pushed him and to check on his lover. He pulled Rick into his arms. "Baby are you okay?" Mike didnt even think of what Rich had said.

"I'm fine." Rick rubbed his jaw as he glared at Mike. "Are YOU okay?" He asked.

Mike put his head down, he hadn't meant to.....
Kevin smiled at him and kissed where Alex had struck him.
If anything he felt worse.

Rick shook his head.
"Does he not care? I just told him that his son is pregnant..." Rick asked incredulously.

Mike's head snapped up and he stared.
"Come again?"
Kevin cralwed to his mother.
"I cannot believe you hit me momma."
"I know baby im so sorry..."
"Why did you?"
"I was panicking, Quincy was just here, he was trying to get in here to me and Jessie and I was just so frayed....."
Kevin cursed and looked around the house nervously.
"Im pregnant."
Mike shook his head.
"Your a virgin!"
"Momma no, I lost my virginity a week or so ago."
"And you didnt tell me!"
"Momma stop yelling...."

"Mike, yes, he lost his virginity. To me." Rick said softly as he walked over and held Kevin, not wanting Mike to hurt him again.

Mike carded his hand through his hair.
"Your fucking kidding me. What about Sydney? KEVIN GODDAMNIT!" Kevin flinched, his mother was never so...harsh, Quincy had to do something to shake him up.

Rick held onto Kevin tighter.
"Mike, please calm down." He reasoned. "Calm down and I'll explain."

"Daddy, calm him down, only you know how...." Kevin whimpered when his mother only continued to curse at him.

Alex nodded as he walked over to Mike.
He picked him up and sat him in his lap on the bed.
"Baby, what did Quincy do to you? You're never this harsh. Especially not to Kevin. Baby, calm down." He kissed Mike sweetly.

Mike took a deep breath and rested against Alex.
"Rick, tell me what happened to my baby....Why is he pregnant?"
