"I'll tell you when you've over stayed. You haven't." Mick informed the kid as he took a seat on the beat up old couch in the corner and bounced Teddy lazily on his knee. Teddy watched Hartley, hand in mouth, babbling happily around it as he watched his new favourite person in awe. "Teddy likes you. If he didn't like you, I'd have kicked you out."

He looked at his boy and smiled. Teddy was an accident, he never meant to have him, he never even knew about him until he turned up outside of his apartment one day. He had no idea how to be a dad, he didn't want to be a dad but after a week of trying to get someone to take him, he ended up falling in love with the stupid kid. Now he'd so anything for him. And since then, he found himself oddly caring a little more. Seeing a kid like Hartley, homeless, cold and alone? He kinda felt bad. "Eat with us then decide how you feel. You wanna go? You can go. You wanna crash on my couch? Whatever. I don't mind. Free babysitting is all I see."
