We were driving down to my parents to pick Spencer up but I looked at stacey. "Stace what if he doesn't what to. What if he doesn't like it." "Baby. He will. I promise." "Stace we have only known each other a month. We've just had that massive argument. He only knows me for being a dancer." "And his dad. Kev. So what it's early doors. But there's no one better to be Spencer's dad. I trust you with him. If I died I'd want you to look after him. Because he adores you. And because I do. And he trusts you." "You mean that?" She nodded and I relaxed a little bit. "You're adorable Kev." I smiled and she leant across and placed a kiss on my cheek. "Just relax." We got to my mum and dads and I knocked and my mum smiled. "Hiya you two. Everything ok? You look a bit pale Kev?" "What paler than usual?" "Yeah." "Stace can I tell them?" She nodded and I smiled. "Mum. Stacey. Stacey got me a late present." "What is it?" I passed her the envelope and she looked at it and looked at me. "And this is real. This has been signed off. By the council." I nodded and she smiled. "Well. He's been asking where you were all day." We heard some people running to the door and joanne was following Spencer. "Daddy! Mummy!" He gave us both hugs in turn before wanting me to pick him up. "Daddy no icky anymore?" "Nope. All better." "Mummy and daddy story tonight?" "If it's ok with mummy yeah." "Guess what. Guess what." "What?" "Keith and Judy show me a char chal. Chalrtin." "A Charleston?" "Yeah. And showed me pictures of you and JoJo." "Really." Stacey was enjoying this too much. I looked at mum and she smiled. "He found them." "Andddd daddy?" "Yeah?" "You already have a baby?" "Nope. You're my little baby simba." I threw him up and caught him and he laughed and wrapped his arms round my neck. "My daddy." I nodded and Stacey was smiling and I grabbed her hand. "Kev you wanted to come in?" She looked at me and I nodded. "Yeah. If you don't mind." They let us in and Spencer sat on Staceys knee. "Mummy what that." "This. Well you open it and try and read." He opened it and looked over it. "Bir birth. Cert. Ificate. Birth cercifirace." "Nearly mate. This is your birth certificate. So I tells people when you were born how old you were where you were born and your name. You know what else it says." "What?" "Tells you who mummy and daddy is." He looked at found my name. "Mummy name. And-." He looked at it and then looked at stacey. Looked at it then me. "And Kev my real daddy!" He dropped the certificate and jumped on me knocking me back on the sofa. "You my real daddy now?!" I nodded and he smiled and hugged me really tight. My mum dad and stacey were all just smiling. I frowned and Spencer just cuddled into me. "That means that Keith grandad and Judy nana?" I stayed quiet. "If it's ok with Keith and Judy then yeah." I looked at stacey and she smiled. We stayed for maybe half an hour before Spencer started falling asleep so stacey took him to the car but my mum and dad wanted to talk to me. "Kev. You're a dad. Officially." "I know but I don't want to screw it up dad." "You won't." "I don't want to lose them." "Kevin. Believe in yourself. You and Stace need to be there for each other. To fall back on each other. Parenting is tough so you need each other kev. You can do this. You know you can." I smiled and they gave me a hug and i went out to the car. Stacey was sat in the front on her phone so I got in the passengers side and grabbed her thigh. "Who's place. Mine or yours?" "Either. If Spencer has some of his clothes at yours then we can go there. It's closer but if not then lets go home." "Yeah I'm pretty sure he has some clothes at mine. I dont think you do though. You can wear one of my shirts to bed and ill wash your clothes if you want. Just so that we aren't driving too far. It's already half eleven now and we have to be up at eight." She nodded and i smiled and rubbed an affectionate thumb over her thigh. I drove us to my flat and hen we pulled up I gently lifted Spencer out of his car seat. "Daddy? Mummy?" "Yeah its ok simba. Les get you to bed yeah?" He nodded and I locked the car unlocked the front door and got him changed into his pyjamas before laying him gently on the bed in the spare room pulling the covers over him and closing the door behind me. Stacey was sat on the sofa and i smiled and wrapped my arms round her. "I know it wasnt much but-." "Baby that is the best present i ever received. Even beats that bmx i got when i was six." She giggled and i kissed her temple. "I know ll never be his biological dad and theres nothing we can do about that but. I'm gonna be the best dad i ca.  I promise." "I dont doubt that."
