He Will Be Loved

Rick smiled but nodded as he kept a firm hold on the bottle, letting Austin drink.

Austin was quick at drinking the bottle, and sure enough, when he was done his little face was scrunched up with discomfort as his little tummy ached.

Rick pecked his baby's cheek, gently caressing it's tiny tummy with his thumb.
"Don't ya puke on me baby..." He smiled.

Biddy snickered.
"Rick he might, if he is sick enough he will spit up on you."
The baby's face screwed up. Biddy grinned,.
"Burp him?"

Rick smiled and nodded.
"Kev always burped Jr so tell me if I do somethin wrong...." He gently turned the small child so its head was on his shoulder. He lightly patted his back a few tiems.

Biddy watched with a smile as Austin gave a small burp but he still frowned and wiggled around a bit.
"Rick you might wann-." It was to late, Austin gave a start and spit up all over his father.

"Awwwww." Rick wrinkled his nose but he couldn't help but bust out laughing.

Austin wrinkled his nose, let out another, louder burp and then he giggled.

Rick laughed again.
"Biddy take the puke machine." He grinned

Biddy giggled.
"C'mon before your father puts you in the garbage with the rest of the trash." He rolled his eyes as the baby whined, reaching back for his father.

Rick frowned.
"I love him Biddy... I do. Lemme clean up and I'll be back baby." He cooed

Biddy hadn't meant it like that...
Austin frowned as his father left, crying lightly.

Rick changed shirts and cleaned himself up before walking back in to Austin.

Austin grabbed for his father, still throwing a small tantrum.

Rick smiled as he cradled the baby to his chest.
"Love you baby..." He cooed.

Austin instantly stopped crying, giving his father a toothless grin, flashing his pink gums.

Rick chuckled and rocked his baby back and forth slowly.

Biddy watched with a grin.
"If you sing he will sing with you..."
It was adorable, the child would make these little noises, trying to join in with his babble.

"Kay, sing with me..." Rick grinned. "Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up.."

Biddy grinned.
"Awww."
And just as he though, Austin was babbling along, trying to sing with his father. His chubby face puffing up when he got fussy because he couldnt say anything, he just babbled.

Rick giggled at his son, caressing his cheek and cooing softly to him.

Austin put his tiny fist in his mouth, chewing on it, gumming it softly.

Rick laughed, handing the child back to Biddy.
"Imma go to bed Biddy bird. Love ya." He pecked his cheek, then the babies.

Austin grinned, reaching back for his father. It was rare he got held by his daddy and he was going to milk it for all it was worth.

Rick sighed. He was tired as hell but he could not say no to that face. He sat down in a chair and cradled Austin to his chest.
