Part Two.

Severn, Maryland:
Bowie State University

Toni and Ken looked in each other's eyes. She was in a daze and she kisses him again. Ken caressed Toni's bottom lip then her cheek. Toni was playing with Ken's earlobe and smiled.

"I would like to meet your son, one day. He must really look like his mother, very cute." Ken said while playing with pinky ring. She blushed and smiled.

"You're in luck, you can meet him today, right now to be exact. I'm picking him up from my cousins house. Let's go." Toni pulled Ken's arm leading to her car.

"I have my own car, so I'll drive behind you." Ken laughed. Toni playfully hit Ken's chest and her hand was mesmerized by his chiseled body covered by his shirt.

"Alright then, it's not that far. Twenty to twenty five minutes away." Toni said while entering her car, smiling. Ken nods his head and he enters his car. Twenty three minutes later, they arrived at Tara's house. Ken stayed in the car meanwhile Toni went to get Evan. Tara opened the door with a bouncy Evan in her arms.

"Thanks Tara, how was he?" Toni asked while taking Evan out Tara's arms.

"He was great, cried for you for five minutes straight, but other than that he was good." Tara smiles. Toni leaves and enters her car, meanwhile driving to her house. Ken opens the door for Toni and helps her out.

"Such a gentleman, thank you." Toni smiled. Ken gave a kiss on Toni's forehead, unexpectedly. She blushes and opens the front door to her house. Toni takes off her coat and takes Evan out the car seat.

"There's someone I would like you to meet, this is Evan. Say hi." Toni said to Ken while finding her nursing blanket.

"Hi, daddy." Evan smiled. Toni's smile faded and her heart was breaking a little. She started tearing up, and Ken sat next to her.

"I know it's tough, but I'm here. You and Evan will be okay. I don't mind him calling me 'daddy'." Ken said. He rubbed Toni's back in circular motions.

"What do you know about raising a child?" Toni asked with an attitude. Ken intertwined his hands together and sighed.

"I had a little sister, Kennedi. Our parents died in a plane crashed on their way to Puerto Rico, for their 20th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, my little sister died from suicide on her 17th birthday and so I was all alone. I raised her for eight and a half years, all by myself.

"God I'm really sorry but look on the bright side, you have Evan and I." Toni said while feeding her son.

"It's fine, I'm about to leave. I'm going home and cook dinner for me, myself, and IZ." Ken said while putting on his jacket on.

"I would like for you stay for dinner. I'm making lemon garlic shrimp pasta with garlic bread." Toni said to a blushing Ken. He pulled her into a hug and kissed her nose.

"Can you bathe Evan for me, while I prepare dinner?" Toni asked while giving him Evan.

"Sure. All of his products are in the nursery?" Ken asked. Toni nods her head and smiles. Ken brings Evan upstairs and takes off his clothes, and places Evan in his personal bathtub. He wets Evan's body with warm water and soaps up his body. Evan splashes the water and giggles.

"Daddy." Evan said to Kenny. He didn't want to respond, but Evan kept calling for Ken.

"DADDY!" Evan yelled with anger. Ken sighed and looked at Evan.

"Yes?" Ken said. It was silent for two minutes until Evan asked a question.

"Do you love Mommy?" Evan asked.
I wanted to tell him how I felt about his mother, but yet again... what little boy knows about love?

"I'm falling in love with her. She's smart, she's very beautiful, she take cares of you, and she's independent." Ken smiled. Toni was near the bathroom door and overheard their little conversation.

"Ok, Daddy." Evan smiled. Toni's heart melted when she hears what Evan said. She knocked on the door and told them dinner was ready. Ken picked up Evan and went into his room, and placed him on the changing table. He quickly oiled up his body and put on a diaper, then just a onesie with shorts on.

"He's ready now, we can go eat." Ken smiled with carrying Evan. They enter the dining room and Ken put on Evan's bib and placed him in his high chair.

"Ready to eat, baby?" Toni asked. Evan nodded his head and smiled. Ken pulled out Toni's chair and she smiled.

"Thank you, you're so kind." Toni said. Ken kissed the top of her head and he sat down in front of her and held her hand to say grace.

Heavenly Father, thank you for this food that you have provided us with. Bless the hands that prepared the food and let it nourish our bodies. In Jesus name, Amen.

"Ken, I have a question." Toni said.

"Go ahead and ask away." Ken said while taking a bit into his garlic bread.

"Can you stay the night with me? We have no class tomorrow and I have nothing to do, so how about its just us three tomorrow." Toni said. Ken's eyes lit up and smiled.

"Of course. I'd have to get my clothes though, but I'll be right back after this wonderful dinner you made. Who taught you how to cook?" Ken asked. Toni blushed and covered her mouth.

"Thank you, but the cooking channel taught me." Toni smiled. She covered her mouth once again.

"Why do you always cover up your beautiful smile?" Ken asked while Toni was eating.

"It's because I don't think I'm the prettiest person in the world. " Toni said. Ken's face tensed up and he frowned.

"Well Toni, you're beyond beautiful and you have a beautiful million dollar smile. You can be comfortable with me and not cover up your gorgeous smile." Ken said making Toni constantly blush.

"You're really sweet, Ken." Toni smiled. Ken caressed her hand and she got chills.

"Thank you, but I'll be right back in twenty minutes to get my clothes." Ken said while leaving the table and kissing Toni's lips. She bit her bottom lip and kissed him again.

"I'll be right back." Ken said while rubbing his head. Toni nodded her head and smiled, brightly.
