Just A Number..

"But he knew Biddy would be able tot ake care of you Rick, he knew you would be okay....Momma didnt leave without thinking."

"Still Kevin..." He sighed, shaking his head.

"Rick....You didnt give Alex all this shit when he cheated so you get offa my momma. He does everything for us."

"Exactly.. I admit he does. And that is why he can't just leave like that..."

"Baby....I know but now you see? We cant really get along without him....I know none of us ever tell him thanks you, at least not much and with daddy...."

"I tell him thank you." Rick frowned. "A lot...."

"Rick im always with you, I never hear you tell him thank you but he never asks for it...."

"I tell him thank you every time he gives me chemo...." Rick frowned.

"I dont hear it and Rick....He is your doctor then. What about when he washes our clothes and folds them? Cooks for us all everynight and helps us with Zac? Gives us a home and makes sure we are doing good. When he makes sure everything you need is here before you get up so you wont have to bother with it after chemo? When he makes me come and love you when im mad at you? He keeps this whole family together...."

"I know he does Kevin and that is exactly why I'm pissed." Rick shook his head. Kevin just wasnt' going to get it. "He holds us together and he knows that. So why leave?!"

"No...He does not know how much we NEED him, he knows he does all that because he loves us but thats all he knows....And with you pissed at him? What is going through his head?"

"But I'm pised because I love him goddamnit! He's like my fucking mother and he left me!"

Kevin smiled.
"See? He thinks of you as his baby but as far as he and anyone but me sees you as thinking of him as just my mother. I know how you were raised, I heard about it and I know better but momma dont, he just knows how to be a momma."

"He's teh best momma I've had and I love him to death..." Rick muttered.

Kevin grinned and kissed his cheek.
"I know you do Rick but...Think, you dont call him momma lot and usually when you two fight you hit each other. He comes home and your pissed at him. He is not inside your head like I am baby, he thinks you hate him now....And I know better but he is momma, one of his babies is mad it breaks his heart and all you have done is yell at him."

"Because I'm pissed." He sighed. "He left our baby alone, pregnant...." He pouted

"Rick, once again, he knew I would keep him taken care of and he knew I had Davids number, he is my brothers boyfriend.

"Still. I only trust Mike with something that big...." He drug a hand through his hair.

"Hey, and momma knew, momma came back and momma delivered those babies didnt he?" Kevin nodded. "Yes he did."

"Yes but I was scared as fuck he wouldn't come back....."

Kevin sighed but smiled.
"You wouldnt know what to do if he never came back, you need momma just as much as I do."

"Yes, yes I do damnit." He sighed softly.

"Awwwwww thats sweet baby." Kevin grinned and nuzzled his neck.
"How long are you going to stay pissed?"

"AS long as I feel like." Rick grumbled. But he could never hold a grudge very long...

"But he is your momma, your going to make him cry." Kevin didnt like his mother crying at all.
