Chapter 18:

Two weeks have passed since Kitt was finally allowed to leave the hospital and everyone was all safe and sound back at the mansion. All anxiously restless to have their youngest member of the team back. They were all very happy and quite relieved that Kitt would be ok now. But the doctor still said to keep an eye on him, just in case.

However, not everyone was as happy and go lucky as the rest. In the time that the baby has been home, Karr hasn't done so much as to even step foot in the infant's room. Nobody really knew why, but they all held their own suspicion of it.

Currently, the man in question was sitting on the couch, watching TV with a disinterested look on his face. A certain baby's crying could be heard in the back ground, followed by dainty, swift foot steps. Karr didn't bother to look and see who it was that answered Kitt's call. He already had a pretty good idea anyway, for she had been the one to take care of him for the past couple of weeks. Along with the other's help, of course.

A few minutes later the crying stopped and quieted down to tiny whiny coos. Again, he heard foot steps, only this time entering the living room where Karr was at. The owner of them coming to a stop beside where he sat on the comfy, dark leather couch.

"He wants you, Karr." She said calmly to the young man, being mindful of the infant in her arms.

"I can't." He responded automatically, scrolling through channels when the credits showed for the movie he was previously watching.

Bonnie frowned. "When are you gonna stop blaming yourself?"

Karr stopped then. He swallowed thickly in his throat before meeting the brunette's gaze.

"I don't blame myself," he replied somewhat testily. "I-"

"No. You do. I can see it, Karr. Don't lie to me. Besides, by the way you've been acting with him lately is all the confirmation I need."

Karr didn't say anything for a few moments. Kitt started to fuss again during that time, squirming around in Bonnie's arms. She tried to shush him, but it all went to no avail. The infant wouldn't have any of it.

"Take him." The woman whispered the offer.

"No."

Bonnie rolled her eyes and gently thrusted Kitt into his big brother's arms. Instinct kicked in and Karr instantly cradled the baby against his chest right as Bonnie handed him off. He shot her a glare.

"Bonnie! I said-"

But he could never finish his protest for when the brother's met gazes, the eldest felt his eyes sting. The little sky blue eyes were so bright and full of life. Just like how he remembered them to be. His baby brother giggled, waving his hands about in happiness. The adorable action brought a small smile to Karr's face as he went to go take one of Kitt's hands in his.

"Hey, kiddo," His older brother said softly, his eyes still slightly teary.

Kitt only gave a small coo for a response before falling quiet in Karr's arms. Snuggled up to his broad chest, easily slipping into a deep sleep. The eldest held him closer as he watched over him. Promising to never let his baby go again.
