Getting the girls to sleep while Gru was out again,Kevin put the covers on and try to leave quietly without waking them. He always successful on that from his work on the field.
Making his way to his house he saw the light on as he opened the door, he was a bit worried but he didn't want to show it, he walked slow in and saw Bob sitting on the couch watching TV.
"Bob?" Kevin was confused as Bob had gotten his own place and was grown up a little these days but he still had that childlike charm to him.
"I couldn't sleep." he followed Kevin to the bed and beat him to his spot. The feeling of annoyance left when Bob held out a book. "Can you read me a bedtime story?"
He took it and saw it was that three kittens book that Gru tossed out for he hated it, but Kevin knew Bob loved it. He motioned him to scoot over and he open it up. He missed this, he missed taking care of Bob like this. It had been hard on him to let him go. He watched as Bob giggled and laughed with the funny voices he would do the mom cat.
"Your mother loves you with all her heart." he said and closed the book and looked at a sleepy Bob. "and I love you with all my heart…" he hugged the little butterball and Bob hugged back. They both missed each other, Bob made little sniffles as he buried his face into Kevin's chest. He didn't want to go to sleep, he missed being with Kevin. But he knew he had to.
Kevin gave that smile he did those many years ago when he came upon little Bob in that cave. That smile, it was comforting. "Hey Bob, did you want to stay the night at my place?" he offered. With a nod they cuddled together like they used to and said their goodnights.
Then Bob spoke up. "Kevin, will you be here in the morning?" he'd been asking that since the explosion in London.
"yes, I will always be here for you Bob."
With a smile on his face Bob snuggled in and pulled out a dirty old bear from his overalls. Kevin couldn't help but to tear up at them. Just like the old days. He wished they didn't have to end.
