It was now night and Allison had just left and Stiles was about to leave too. Stiles was taking him for tonight. Lydia and Stiles had come up with a plan. Stiles was going to have Benny every Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Wednesday's after school on the week days. And Lydia had him every week days while Stiles was at school. They hadn't figured out what they would do with him and who would look after him when Lydia starts going to school too. Lydia's mom has to teach at the school, Stiles' dad has to work at the police station, Mellissa had to work at the hospital. And Stiles, Lydia, Scott, Allison and Jackson would have school. So they didn't know what to do about that but that hadn't come yet so they were focusing on the present right now. 

'ok Benny' Lydia said as she was holding him in her arms. 'you tell me if daddy doesn't look after you right, ok?' 

Stiles rolled his eyes. 'ok a) Lydia he can't understand English yet and b) I would never not look after him.' Stiles said, crossing his arms across his chest. Lydia gave him a look, 'you can get distracted.' Stiles' mouth opened wide, 'well yeah. But I've looked after him bef-' he started to say. 'I know Stiles. I was just joking.' Lydia interrupted him, smiling at him. Stiles sighed and glared at her playfully. Lydia laughed then put Benny in Stiles' arms. 

'he is getting sleepy so you need to give him his milk and-' Lydia started to say. 'I know Lydia, I will.' As he was saying that, he felt someone lean their head against his shoulder. He looked down and smiled to see that it was Benny, falling asleep. Stiles looked back at Lydia and they both smiled at each other. 'ok then...I will get going then.' Stiles said. Lydia nodded, 'bye Stiles...' 

Stiles gave her one last smile and walked out the bedroom. 

Lydia sighed as she watched Stiles walk out. yep. Still have feelings for him. Lydia thought as she fell on her bed on her back, groaning. 

===================================

Stiles had just got Benny ready for bed and he just put him down in the crib that is in his room for when Benny stays over. Stiles sighed as he sat on his bed, looking at the crib. 'you alright Stiles?' 

Stiles looked to the side and saw his dad. Stiles smiled tiredly, 'I'm great dad. Just tired.' he said the last words as a yawn. Noah nodded, 'the little guy asleep?' he asked. Stiles nodded, 'yep.' Noah nodded again, 'you get some sleep then Stiles, ok? You need it.' he said. 'yeah' Stiles said, 'night dad.' he rubbed his hands across his face. 'night Stiles.' Noah said giving him a smile then walked out and closed the door. 

===================================

It was about 4am or so, the next day. Monday. And Stiles was sleeping then suddenly he heard a wail of a cry. 

He murmured thinking he was dreaming then another cry broke out into the air. Stiles groaned and sat up, rubbing his eyes. He looked to the side to look at the crib to see Benny standing up in the crib with tears in his eyes and his face tear stained. He was holding the top of the crib bars for support. Stiles groaned and looked at the time. '4:05am great...thanks Benny' Stiles muttered sarcastically. 

He stood up and went to the crib. 'Ben, what's wrong?' he asked tiredly as he picked him up. Benny just cried even louder. 

Stiles groaned and walked to the chair in his room and sat down in it, placing Benny in his lap. He started to rub his back, trying to calm him down. He didn't calm down. Stiles sighed and started bouncing him up and down in his arms, 'calm down buddy...' Stiles whispered. 'please...I have school tomorrow and I have Mr Harris and I-' he stopped speaking as the crying started to come to a stop. He sighed with relief. He picked him up again and put him back down into his crib. He got back into bed with relief. 

Then suddenly another cry. 

'UGHHH' Stiles groaned as he got up again. He walked over to the crib and picked up a crying Benny again. He started bouncing him up and down again, 'what's wrong...? You had your bottle, I changed your diaper, what could possibly be wrong?' Stiles muttered as he was thinking. 

It has been 6 minuets and Benny still hasn't stopped crying. Stiles was starting to get worried then he got an idea. He put Benny back into his crib. He grabbed his laptop off his desk. 

He sat back in his chair and opened up his laptop, trying to ignore the crying of Benny. He went onto google. 

why is my 4 month old crying so much?  

He typed that in and searched. Loads of links came up. 

'stiles!' 

Stiles looked back and saw his dad. 

'its 4: 17 in the morning! Haven't you tried to calm him down?' 

'no dad I haven't, I have just let him cry for 11 minuets and haven't tried to calm him down AT ALL.' he said sarcastically and rolled his eyes, looking back at the screen. He clicked on a link. 

Noah sighed, 'just try and-' 

'yep dad.' Stiles said firmly, 'night.' he started reading once he heard his dad walk out. 

'anxiety...?' 

'attachment issues...'  

'teething...'

'teething!' he yelled quietly. He went back onto the search bar. 

how do you know when your child is teething?

he typed in and searched it up. 

During the teething period there are symptoms that include irritability, disrupted sleep, swelling or inflammation of the gums, drooling, loss of appetite, rash around the mouth, mild temperature, diarrhea, increased biting and gum-rubbing and even ear-rubbing.

Stiles sighed and looked over at Benny, he was still crying and he was rubbing his cheek, probably where it hurt. Stiles stood up and picked him up again and put him on his hip. 'shhh bud, I know it hurts, but I need to look.' he said as he opened his mouth and looked inside. 

yep swollen. Stiles thought as he sighed, looking at Benny. 'why did you have to start teething when you stay with me?' Stiles muttered as he laughed slightly. 

'what are we gonna do with you?' Stiles said looking at Benny who was starting to stop crying. Stiles smiled sadly at him, 'I know it hurts...we need to call mommy tomorrow and we can get some stuff to help the pain ok?' he said to him even though he knew Benny could not understand a thing he was saying but he learned that when you speak to your child, it is how they learn how to speak in the first place so that is what he was going to do. 

Benny had stopped crying and was just staring at Stiles, like he heard and understood what Stiles just said. 

Stiles watched as Benny began to get sleepy again. 

After about 2 minuets of a few hugs from his dad, Benny fell asleep, leaned against Stiles' shoulder. Stiles sighed with relief and put him back down into his crib.
