Josh POV. 
                          
5 years later
                          
"Kevin!!! " I screamed from the kitchen while I stirred the veggies on the pan. Shoot... We are so late. 
                          
I turned off the flame and rushed towards the bedroom. I sighed with a smile. 
                          
I went up to the edge of the bed, sat beside and started tickling his nose, going to his neck as he giggled. I traced my fingers towards his sides, tickling him more. He laughed hard, thrashing around on the bed. I laughed at his laugh. God, I love him so much. 
                          
"Okay! Okay! I am up!!" He begged as he stopped my hands, I stopped.
                          
"Good morning Papa...." He said laughing as he hugged me tight, laying a kiss on my cheek. 
                          
"Good morning hun. Comon.. Time for school.. We are so late Kev!" I said while kissing him all over the face, loving him. 
                          
I smiled picking him up, I tossed him around my hip, carrying him to the bathroom. 
                          
I brushed his teeth while playing with him. I gave him a bubble bath... Swirling the soap all around him as he laughed, I smiled with content. He played as usual with foam on his hair and hands.. 
                          
"Comon.. That's enough.. Let's go. " I washed his soft hair with warm water as he coughed cutely. I washed his soft body and wiped him gently. 
                          
I rushed him on the bed, he was hyper as usual, jumped on the bed. I dressed him up, combing his hair gently. I looked at him through the mirror. 
                          
"Do I look good, Papa? " He asked with a smile. 
                          
"The most handsome and charming 5 year old in the world. " I said while I kissed him hard on his right cheek. 
                          
I carried him on my hip, rushing against time. I placed him on the chair, serving him cereal. 
                          
"Comon. Eat. I'll pack your food. " I said while I saw him eating slowly. He was always so picky in food. 
                          
"That's your favorite.. Hun. Comon eat up.. " I said with a smile as I packed his lunch box. 
                          
He was almost done, when he pushed his bowl ahead, I understood he was done. I sighed, taking him in my arms and his lunch box in another hand. 
                          
I rushed to the elevator with him in my arms, "Kev, I will be there at 4. Okay? Do not let anyone take you from school. Even if they offer your favorite things, Okay? You know right, bad touch.. Good touch?" I asked him kissing his chubby cheeks and combing his soft hair with my fingers. 
                          
"Hm I know Pa.. Can we meet Ian today?" He asked softly, His arms around my neck. 
                          
"After school, we have to go to your practice.. Then probably Ian will home soon... Miss him? " I asked him while the elevator door opened. He nodded playing with his lunch box. 
                          
I jogged towards the school bus and put him in. I kissed him one last time and he ran inside to sit with his friends. He waved goodbye and I waved him back with a smile. 
                          
I sighed, mornings were always tiresome. I walked back to my apartment and opened my front door with my keys. The phone rang, sending it into voice mail. I continued to eat the leftover cereal of Kevin and wash the dishes as I checked the clock. 
                          
Damn, I am late. 
                          
"Josh, I will be late. Please don't be mad. But I have a surprise for you and Kevin. So... Be ready! " Ian spoke on the voice mail. 
                          
Ian did well in his job for these years and was promoted to vice in his department. Ian loved him but he didn't have much of the time to spend with him.
