Benny's Pov:

My pretty wife had given birth to my beautiful, young daughter just ten months ago. Y/n was out for grocery shopping which means I was on baby duty.

Honestly, baby duty was the only thing I looked forward to since y/d/n was adorable and I loved spending time with her. Me and my wife would usually fight over baby duty since she hated grocery shopping but I guess I always win.

So here I was, trying to calm down my hyperactive daughter who was right now, putting chess pieces in her mouth.

'No! Eww, that's mine. Don't eat it sweetie!' I exclaimed, trying to get the chess piece out of her closed palm.

Trust me, opening those baby palms sometimes makes me question my own strength.

Being careful not to hurt her, I took the piece out of her hand and turned her to me.

Her mouth was open and a little drool was dripping down the side of her lips which I wiped with my thumb. Then I saw her eyes and frowned when her filled with water and she started crying cutely.

No matter how adorable it was, I can't let her cry. But trust me, baby duty can be awful sometimes.

'Oh sweetheart you cannot play with that, let's go get you your boo boo.' I said.

Y/d/n wouldn't stop crying so I quickly carried her to the bedroom and got her boo boo which was a strawberry shaped baby teether.

'Boo boo!' y/d/n squealed and took it from my hands the moment she saw it.

My daughter was a quick learner and she had started saying a few words like daddy and momma. But y/n's very particular about teaching her to speak and according to the rules, no cussing around the baby.

So while my daughter was distracted, I took her to the living room and placed her on the air mattress for sometime. The telephone bell echoed in my apartment and I rushed to my table to receive the call.

'Hello Benny.' Beth spoke.

'What do you want now?' I asked rolling my eyes at my friend.

'I've got two thousand dollars in my bank account, but it would be more but I've been keeping up the house. It's gonna take a thousand more dollars to go to Russia. I was wondering-'

'I don't have it.' I said annoyedly.

'What do you mean? You got money.' she said.

'I don't have it.' I repeated.

'Did you gamble it all away?' she asked.

'What difference does it make? You can call a federation or a state department.' I said.

'The federation doesn't like me. Benny come on I don't want to go to Russia by myself. Benny?' she said.

'Are you kidding me?'

'What?' she said, sounding confused.

'First you don't come back to New York and then you basically tell me that you'd rather be a drunk that be with me. And now you're pulling this crap! No you can fucking well go alone.'

'Benny!'

'Don't call me anymore.' I said, ending the call.

I had my family to look after, I cannot give away my money to her. I thought.
