Chapter 7:

Devon looked over at Karr when the front door clicked shut. The eldest came back after switching Kitt's shirt out for a soft blanket instead. The tiny infant cooed happily as the soft blanket was wrapped comfortably around him.

"Why don't you go get cleaned up, Karr? I'll watch him for you." Devon offered.

"You sure? This little guy proved to me in a few hours how much of a handful he can be."

Devon only chuckled. "Trust me, my boy. I've been around infants before. They are no problem to me."

Karr shrugged with an inward smile before getting up again and handing over the little bundle. Kitt cooing loudly as he was moved. Devon gently took the bundle in his arms, keeping it close to his chest.

"He should be ok for now. I won't be long." Karr said.

"Alright."

Karr nodded before walking up to his room to go take a shower. Once he was out of the room, Devon turned his attention to baby Kitt. the infant was quiet as he stared aimlessly up at his once former boss. His fine, sky blue eyes seemed to sparkle with curiosity.

Devon smiled down at the tiny infant. "Were you giving your brother trouble earlier?" He cooed.

A smile broke out on Kitt's face at the question. He began to giggle loudly, as if understanding what was asked of him, and finding it amusing that he gave his big brother a hard time. Devon couldn't help but mirror his amusement. Kitt did use to always find it funny whenever he irritated his brother, only because Karr could be so easily irritated. Though their banter was always for fun.

He heard the faint sound of a car outside and knew that it was the others. Sure enough, he heard Michael a moment later telling Bonnie that he would grab this and that while she got the lighter stuff. Kitt began to fuss suddenly when the attention wasn't on him.

Huh, Devon thought. That's new. You've never really been that type. Your brother maybe, but not you.

However, both of them snapped their attention to the door when both Michael and Bonnie came in. Baby supplies in hand.

"That was quick." Devon remarked as he stood up, gently rocking the baby in his arms.

Bonnie snorted. "Oh please. I know what I'm looking for. It's this," she pointed at Michael. "guy that doesn't know what he's doing." Bonnie stated as she turned her attention to Michael flatly.

The taller man gawked. "Um excuse me, I was trying to do my best."

"Mhm. Sure you were."

The duo narrowed their eyes half heartedly at each other. Devon, not really wanting to take chances here, quickly shushed the two before they made it worse. It was at that time that Karr came back down in a simple T-shirt and sweat pants.

"Hey guys. That was quick." Karr said, glancing at the bags and boxes in hand.

"Thanks." Michael piped in. "Could you give me a hand with some of the bigger stuff?"

"Yeah, sure." Karr stated as he readily went outside with Michael after the taller man set the bags down.
