I'm in the kitchen making supper for mine and Bens anniversary when I feel arms wrap around me and a kiss to my neck. I turn around and kiss him back

"Hi baby" he says pulling back

"Hi. Wheres Billy?" I say looking around as he holds up his finger and then I hear small feet

"Hi mom" he says coming in as I bend down to pick him up as he hugs me

"Hi what have you guys been doing?" I ask

"Weve been practicing my powers" Billy says excited

"Hes getting good too" Ben says with a smile. I smile and kiss his cheek when there is a knock at the door. Ben goes to answer it and its Butcher and Becca

"Uncle Butcher!" Billy yells as they come in. he runs to them as Butcher picks him up

"Hows my boy doing?" he says

"Good, ive been practicing my new powers" Billy says as Butcher smiles

"Want to show me what you learned?" he asks as Billy smiles and nods. They go outside with Ben as Becca comes over to me.

"So, any news?" I ask looking at her and she smiles and nods

"I knew it! Have you told Butcher yet?" I ask and she shakes her head

"I'm gonna tell him tonight" she says sitting down

"So, what are Billys powers?" she asks and I smile

"He can read peoples emotions and move things with his mind" I say proudly as she smiles. The boys come back in. Billy goes over to hug Becca and her not thinking about it hugs him back as he gasps

"Auntie Becca, why are you so happy?" he asks and I drop my spoon

"Oh, uh, no reason" she stutters out

"Becca, whats going on?" Butcher asks sitting by her. She smiles a little and looks at me

"You might as well tell him" I say picking up my spoon and going back to what I was doing. She sighs and turns towards him

"I'm pregnant" she says as he just sits there stunned

"Butcher, you ok?" I ask and he shakes his head a little. He gets a huge smile and hugs her tight

"Are you sure?" he asks and she nods.

"I just found out, I was gonna tell you tonight."

"Oh, im sorry, I didn't mean to ruin the surprise" Billy says a little upset

"Oh no baby its ok, I was going to tell him anyway" Becca says with a smile hugging him as he smiles at her and nods. There is another knock at the door as Ben goes to answer it

"Hey Mallory" he says as she comes in

"How are you?" she asks

"Good" he says as Billy peaks around the corner

"Auntie Grace" he yells going to hug her.

"Are you ready to go?" she asks and he smiles and nods

"Wait, where are you going?" I ask coming from the kitchen. Ben looks over at Butcher and nods as him and Becca get up to leave as Ben comes to me

"Billy is spending the night with uncle Butcher tonight" he says as his eyes darken. My breath hitches a bit but I nod as I stare at him

"Ok, have fun Billy" I say still watching Ben

"Bye mom, bye dad!" he yells and they leave. They no more than shut the door and Bens lips are on mine faster than I can blink, but I'm there, I'm so there and I kiss back hard. He grabs my waist and puts me against the counter and starts kissing down my neck
