Spoot: Lets pump this out while I have time.

Revy: That sounded so dirty…

Spoot: *Blush* Shaddap!

Project Parenthood.

"BREAKFAST YOU BRAT!" Revy bellowed. She was standing in the kitchen holding a spatula, trying to balance a burnt pancake on the end. Rock looked up at her from his paper and cringed. She wasn't much of a cook, he knew that, but Something in his tender heart just couldn't let that little boy suffer through whatever the hell she had made. "I'll take another." He said softly. She looked to him then slapped the burnt carcass on his plate. "Fine by me." She hissed just as the blonde came into view. He looked…ashamed as he looked up with his big blue eyes. Revy had to tilt her head to look at him properly. Rock was the one that caught the whiff. He curled up his nose at the smell of urine.

Keegan caught his facial expression and stood upright. "I'm sorry! I was bad! I'm sorry!" He cried out. Rock looked utterly confused. Revy smirked and went back to the stove. "What'd you do…piss yourself?" She said with a laugh. Rock scowled. "Rev, come on…don't treat him like that." He looked to the little one, ignoring Revy's scoffs. "Come here." He said. Keegan lowered his head and walked over to the man. "Just….not 'da face…" he said with a light sob. Rock was taken aback. "I-I'm not gunna hit you!"

"I might."

"REVY!"

The little boy began to shiver and cry. "I peed…I sorry! I clean it!" Rock looked up at Revy when he heard the light gasp. She looked…pained as she gazed at the little one. "Fuck that." She said, making the boy sob pathetically. "Make Rock do it." She said. "ME!" He snapped. She turned to him and put her hands on her hips. "Yeah Mister Mom! Get that shit cleaned up and feed this brat." She snapped as she slammed the dishtowel on the table. With that, she stormed out. Rock blinked after her then turned to Keegan. "Sorry…She's just…"

The little boy was wiping furiously at his eyes and face, fighting the urge to break down. Rock watched him, feeling something dreadful in his gut. Something happened to this boy before they got him. "Shit." He said as he leaned back in the chair, wiping at his chin and mouth. "Ok. Go take a bath. I'll take care of the mess." The little boy looked up at him with red eyes. "I can't…"

"Why not?"

"Because I was bad…you give me bath…you do. I don't do it…" Rock watched him under a furrowed brow. He let out a sigh and sat up, leaning over. "Why did you wet the bed?" he asked. Keegan looked away from him and began to dig at himself. "Sometimes I has a bad dream…and the pee pee comes out when it hurts…"

"Stop that." Rock demanded as he made the boy stop touching his groin. "Listen, I'm not sure what you mean, but I know you need a bath, and you need to eat…" Keegan looked up with a huge smile. "You gunna feed me!" He cried out cheerfully. Rock's jaw dropped.

"I'm telling you, something happened to him!" Rock whispered out as he changed some sheets. Revy was leaning on the doorway, one leg up, arms crossed. She shook her head. "Sometimes kids lie." Her tone was dark, like her eyes. Rock knew that look, and he knew what followed it. One of two things; a killing spree, or a drinking binge. He sighed and stood upright. "Rev, don't do this."

"Oh do what!" She snapped, pulling away from his advances. "This!" he snapped back at her, grabbing her arms and jerking her to him. She didn't fight him off. That was all Rock needed to know that this was serious. Something happened to that boy, and Revy could feel it. She could see it and it took her back to some dark moment in her life that crippled her internally. She fell into his arms, putting her face into his neck. He held her tight as he sat on the bed with her.

"Take off your pants." She said in a hollow voice.

"No."

"No?"

"No…"

She jumped up, shoving him back. "FUCK YOU THEN!" She bellowed as she stood fast. Sure enough, the fit erupted. She began to tear the room apart. Rock just stood, taking his leave, letting her have her moment. Keegan was waiting, right outside the door. Rock closed it and looked down, jumping a bit. Keegan giggled. "BOO!" He cried out. "You got me." Rock said with a light giggle. "How long were you there?" He asked. Keegan shook his head. "Not long…Oh, but I took a bath! See!" He dropped the towel he had bawled in a clutch. Rock covered his eyes. "I see that…cover up." Keegan did as he was told. "Now I'm all clean for you. You 'da daddy right? So you gotta take care of me…" Rocked looked to him and smiled. "I'm gunna do my best." Keegan nodded.

Keegan tilted his head when a crash erupted from the room he was stationed to. "Was'sat?" He asked. "Revy…she's mad today, so she's throwing a fit." Rock said, looking down. "Hers get mad too?" Keegan asked; his tone surprised. Rock nodded. "Awwww, I make her feel better." Keegan reached for the door. "NO DON'T!" Rock snapped. He tried to stop it but Keegan got the door open just as something crashed to the wall, shattering right by his head. His little eyes went wide as he gaped up at Revy. She stood before him in an aggressive state. She was breathing heavy as she let out little growls and curses. Rock hit his knees and grabbed Keegan up. "Are you hurt?" Keegan just shook his head as he gazed up in amazement at Revy.

"You like 'da Hulk." He sweetly said. Her brow furrowed as her upper lip quivered up into a snarl. "WHAT?!" She snapped. "Keegan, don't set her off…" Rock said as he began to clean up the glass. "Hulk. He a super hero, but he gets mad and turns into a mon'ser!" Revy was twitching about with anger. Her head twitched to the side a bit. "What…what did you just call me?" She hissed out. "A super hero." Keegan said mater of factly. "Duh." He finished. "DON'T 'DUH' ME! NEVER 'DUH' ME!" She bellowed. Keegan just…giggled. Rock looked to him in sheer amazement. He didn't fear her, he didn't even blink when she yelled. She marched up to him, knocking Rock back when he tried to stop her. She looked down as Keegan looked up. She leaned down, grabbing him by his shoulders, giving a death grip on his little arms as she picked him up to get eye level with her. Her expression was pure rage as she stared into his eyes. Keegan, just smiled as he gazed at her. "Mommy." He said, reaching out and stroking her cheek. She jerked her head away from him, snarling at him. "I ain't'cha mamma." She snapped. Keegan just smiled, blinking at her in a condescending way. The child was patronizing her. Revy's face void itself of any emotion and she just glared at the little boy. She put him down and walked out.

Rock looked to Keegan with one brow raised. "D-did you just…intimidate her?" Keegan looked to him "Was'sat mean?" Rock let the other brow rise and he stared at Keegan in shock. "I have a feeling…you know." Keegan just smiled and let out a giggle, taking off, dropping the towel. Rock sat back, against the bed. "W-what just happened?" He asked himself as he ran a hand through his hair. What had he gotten himself into…

Revy: You…yeah you…little brat…if you ever look at me like that, I will remove your eyes…

Spoot: You leave Keegan alone!

Rock: *Sigh* Please look out for number four… *Bows* Thank you for coming…
