A/N: Hello again, folks! It's nice to see you all again! XD I hope I can continue on with this scene, and make this a decent chapter. Honestly, I wanted to keep going last night, but I had to stop, because I needed enough time to proofread. Anyway, enough of me babbling… Let's go! :D

Chapter 49: A Visitor II

Kate's PoV:

We're all looking up at Kevin, who's standing at the top of the stairs, looking down at us. After being held in a seemingly secluded place, Kevin doesn't appear to be afraid or shy to spill his feelings of returning home to us tonight.

That's when I hear Marv ask, "Kevin, what do you mean?"

I look back at the man, and I believe he's hurt with hearing this news. Though, he's had Kevin for four years. I'm sure Marv loves him, but he kept my little boy from me for so long, I could hardly bear it.

Also, when Marv came here, he said he was thinking of how a split custody could work. Though, once he hears what Kevin says, he seems to be hurt with the idea that he may not be able to see Kevin, at all. It serves him right, because he hurt me so bad.

"I want to stay here," Kevin answers again, trotting his way down the stairs.

As for Peter, he seems overjoyed at the idea of Kevin staying here with us. I know Peter was fearful with the idea of him disappearing again, but let's hope Kevin is able to keep his decision with staying here.

"But, Kevin," Marv starts. "On the way out of town, before I stopped at the Arby's and saw Harry, I was thinking of maybe having a shared custody. You know, I take you for a few days, and then your Mom and Peter can take you for a few days…"

"Dad," Kevin still refers to him as "Dad". "I love you, and I know you wouldn't hurt me, but I can't guarantee that you'll return me here after a few days." Considering how secluded from people Kevin was, he's certainly sounding more mature than I've ever experienced.

"Kevin," If I didn't know any better, I'd swear Marv is almost pleading. "No matter what's happened, I'm still your Father."

"And, no matter what's happened, you still kidnapped my son," I intercept.

"Our son," Marv points to himself.

"Look, Marv, I think it's time you go now,"

I know Peter can't handle this conversation, anymore. He's usually cool as a cucumber, but I know he's pissed at all Marv's done. Peter isn't a violent person, but I'm sure he's wanting to smack Marv one!

"Yes, I agree," I become firm, as I narrow my eyes at the man. After what I've been through with him, and after all he's put me through, I know it's time for him to leave. "Thank you for warning us about Harry, but, trust us, we'll be fine."

"That's if he didn't meet up with Harry at the Arby's…" I hear Peter mutter, under his breath.

"Peter!" I hiss back at him. I don't want Marv in my presence right now, either, but he needs to keep his mouth shut.

"If you don't believe me, fine. I don't care. I'm just letting you know, I don't trust the presence of that man in this town. If he did get out of jail, I'm sure he's out for blood—our son's blood. So, I'd be making sure Kevin is safe, if I were you, but I'd appreciate it, if no cops were called, OK?" I glance back at Peter, as I sense him perk up at the word "police". I could've easily called the police now, but I didn't.

"Yeah, sure. I know you wouldn't want your partner in trouble…" Once again, Peter mutters.

"Peter!" I hiss again. Each one of my kids are looking at each of us, as was Kevin, but now, he's glaring at Peter.

"Again, goodbye,"

Marv seems to have run out of things to say, because he turns around and travels down the stairs, away from the house. I know he's pissed that we weren't all over him, and thanking him profusely for his warning, but he has to realize, he's hurt us for a heck of a long time.

I close the door, then turn to look at Peter. "You didn't have to be so rude!" I still speak in a low voice, despite how the man is now gone.

"Well, what do you want me to do, Kate?" Peter becomes arrogant, as if he's believing he's done nothing wrong. "Let him take away our son again?"

"Well, I'm glad you still think of Kevin as your son,"

"Well, he has been for nine years, before he disappeared!" Peter raises his voice, which is something he rarely does.

"Yes! Before he was taken away by his real Father, a criminal, I know!"

"Well, aren't you going to call the police on him?! If we call now, they'll easily be able to track him!"

"No!"

"Why not?!"

"Because!"

This is when I believe it isn't necessary to continue raising my voice. After all, all of our kids are looking at us, in awe; whereas Kevin, is just resting his face in his hands. It's hard to tell what's going through his mind.

"Because, why?!" Whereas Peter, believes he should still.

"Because, he's my boy's Father…"

There's a dead silence in the room. The awkwardness of my kids, except Kevin, staring at us, doesn't help the situation. Peter, on the other hand, is gaping at me, endlessly. I almost feel like I said the wrong thing to him…

To be Continued…

A/N: Thanks again, folks! :D Wow. What a chapter, eh? :o Peter and Kate were arguing, Peter doesn't trust Marv, and what's going through Kevin's head? Well, there's only one way to find out: by continuing to read! I'm going passed my computer time (again) to do this, but I got behind! I was also working on proofreading GIJoeFan985's chapter for one of his Home Alone side stories! Don't be afraid to check it out! Well, I guess I've said all that needs to be said! For now, I bid you adieu! XD
