Just A Number..

Zac sighed as he began packing. He packed some clothes, all his piercings, his sketch pad and a few other random things.
He hated that he was still crying. He kept having to wipe his eyes as he told his mother he was done packin...

Kevin put the bag in his lap as Biddy stepped into the room with Rick Jr.
Kevin took the small baby from him. Kevin had been crying since the fight. He hadn't stopped yet but this time he sobbed as he kissed his baby's forehead, cradling him gently to him chest.
"B-Biddy take Zac's bag for me please...." Biddy took the bag and jogged down stairs.
"I-Imma miss you baby."

Zac kissed his mother's cheek.
"Momma... take Rick. I'll stay... he's yours. I'll deal."

Kevin shook his head furiously.
"N-No! Your mine to damnit! Your my baby just as much as Rick Jr is." Kevin pulled Zac too him and sobbed into his belly.
"I-I need you, I won't be able to l-live without you or your daddy to keep me together...I-I need you...."

"I love you momma." Zac sobbed. "D-damnit quit making me cry." He hiccupped. He never cried.

Kevin shook his head as it was buried into his sons abdomen.
"I-I love you....I need you baby....I need my baby with me.." Kevin got Rick Jr too sleep before kissing his cheek softly and tucking him into his cradle before wapping his arms around Zac.
"M-My baby....I-I need my b-baby b-boy..."

"I need you too momma." Zac sniffled as he hugged his mother to his chest.

"C'mon baby....L-Lets go...." He reached over to the bed and snagged Rick's pillow and two of his shirts before rolling himself into the living room.

Zac nodded as he followed his mother.
"Wh-where are we goin?"

"Uncle Biddy's place. Higgy aint there so its just us and Biddy....Well he said he would be back and forth. He was going to be here to make sure your daddy is okay for me." Kevin sobbed as he passed his ring and his note as he rolled out the door and all the way to Biddy's.

Zac followed, tears still trailing down his face, leaving warm, wet streaks.

The house was nice. Three bed rooms, a kitchen, a living room and a dinning room.
"Okay so you two can share a room or have separate ones. Zac you wanna sleep with your momma or you want a room of your own?" Biddy still had his suitcase.

"Um I want my own if that's alright." He rubbed at his eyes. A room of his own would be nice evn though he did like sleeping with his mother sometimes.

Kevin sighed as Biddy showed Zac his room and handed his suit case before going to kneel beside his brother just to have Kevin pounce into his arms and sob into his neck.

Zac bent down and hugged his mother tightly.
"Momma....its okay..."

"N-No its not!"
He wanted his fian-....his....he just wanted Rick.
He sobed some more before looking at Zac.
"G-Go unpack...."
He looked at Biddy.
"C-Come lay with me Biddy Bird..."
Biddy gently picked Kevin up, he laid him in the made up bed and laid with him.

Zac sighed and went to unpack. Once he was finished he glanced at the clock. Past one... he thought about going. Quincy was the only thing that might make him smile. But he didn't want Quincy seeing him bawling like this..

Quincy was there though. He waited until five in the morning before going home. Biddy made sure Kevin knew where everything was before going back to Mikes.
Kevin shut his door and cried his heart out....

Zac felt bad for not showing up but he couldn't get a bit of sleep. He stayed up all night either bawling, drawing or both...

Biddy sighed as he stepped back through the door. He looked at Kevin's blood. All over the floor and table... His ring and a note on the clean side of the table....
He walked through the living room, upo the stairs. Stoping to make sure Rick Jr was okay.
The room looked almost empty without Zac and Kevin...

For once Zac had drawn a picture that wasn't him and Quincy. Or just Quincy himself. It was his parents. Kevin and Rick, simply hugging with the words True Love written at the top. He stared at it a moment before screaming and tearing it into threads.

Kevin rolled himself to the room and opened the door.
"Z-Zac baby....W-Will you p-please come lay with m-me.......?"

Zac nodded as he crumpled up the remains and slammed them in the trash can before following his mother.

Kevin laid himself down, pulling Zac into his arms. He held his baby and cried into his chest.

Biddy was in the living room. He was waiting around for Rick to make sure he was okay.

Zac sighed as he hugged his mother tightly.

Rick stormed in the door. He had spent the night outside.
