Remember When...?

Ben

I sat on the couch beside Ally, watching her feed Liam. He was dressed down in a black Jordan onesie with the matching booties.

"My son has more drip than me. I don't know how to feel." I exclaim.

"Yup. The gold bracelet and all." Ally chuckled.

Over the course of the week, I had gotten a customized golden bracelet for him. It's a perfect fit for his little wrist.

"He really has my whole face." I say.

"Not the lips. He has my lips." She said.

"Your lips are perfect by the way, so it fits him." I grin.

"Aww, thanks." She giggles.

"I hope our future daughter has your lips too." I say.

"She'll probably have yours." She said.

"Yours are better." I shrug.

She smiles, shaking her head. I pull her into me, kissing her temple. We sit there talking for a few minutes, before the doorbell rings. I get up to answer it, Bane right behind me.

"Go with mama." I say.

He does as told, going back into the living room with Ally. I open the door to see Kendall standing there.

"Hi." She says.

"Uh, hi." I respond. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." She beamed.

"How do you know where I live?" I ask.

"Are you kidding?" She said. "You have to be kidding."

"No, I'm not." I say. "We weren't together when I moved here."

She pulls her shades down a bit. "Seriously?"

I roll my eyes. "You can't be here."

"Why not?" She asks.

"I'm busy." I say.

"With what?"

I'm about to respond, but her attention shifts to whatever is behind me. Ally soon graces us with her presence.

Kendall looks back up at me. "You're a father?"

I nod with pursed lips.

"To the equipment managers child?" She asks.

I nod again. She folds her arm.

"So throughout the course of our relationship-"

"I was sleeping with the equipment manager. That's right." I cut her off.

She blinks. "Why?"

"So you two have been talking about me quite a lot, huh?" Ally asks.

Kendall looks at her. "I didn't understand what was so special about you that he had to talk about you so much. Now I see why."

"The disrespect that just left your mouth is astronomical." I defend Ally.

"Come on Ben, really?" Kendall says. "The equipment manager of all people? The sex must've been that good if you just kept going back."

"It was damn good actually." Ally piped up. "He taught me a lot. And not once did he mention anything about your whack ass."

She gasped. "Did you just insult me?"
