"You have about Two hours before Amy comes home" Benji stated as he watched Jagger follow his Footsteps out of the Bathroom, "Watch a Movie" The Pajama clad four year old said, and started his way down the steps, "Fine with me" Benji said standing at the bottom of the stairs as Jagger walked past him and went over to where his Movies were.
"What do you wanna watch?" Benji asked standing in front of the VCR as Jagger carried a Tape over to him, "Pee Wee's Great Adventure" He read as Jagger shook his head wildly. "All right, Go sit on the couch" He replied placing the tape in the VCR and backtracking to the couch, sitting next to Jagger.
About a Half hour into the movie Jagger laid his head down on Benji's lap, "Benji" He whispered. "Yea Jagg" Benji replied looking down at the Small Boy, "Are you my Dad" Jagger stated before yawning, "Why would you ask that?" Benji asked a little overtaken by his sudden announcement. "Cause everyone else has a Dad, and I want you to be mine." He said yawning again and closing his eyes, "I am sorry Jagger, I cant be that" Benji replied not really knowing what to say. He felt Jagger's breath even out and soon fall into a steady beat, Benji lowered the volume on the Television and looked over to the Clock. "8:30, Better luck Next Time Jagg" He smiled.
"45 Minutes Later"
The front door of the House creeked open and Amy stepped inside the warm house, She looked over to the living room where the Television was still on, There she saw a Bare Chested Benji and the Small Body of Jagger wrapped in Benji's long sleeve black shirt, Amy reached onto the couch and took the remote in hand and shut the Television off.
Benji awoke and shook his head, Amy laughed from behind him, "Hey Benji" Amy replied rather cheerfully walking in front of the Couch, "Ames" Benji said standing up and holding Jagger in his arms, "How have you been?" He asked following her as she walked into the Kitchen to grab a Drink from the Refrigerator. "Pretty Good, glad to be home, and what about you?" She replied taking a sip from the Bottle of Water she clutched in her Right Hand.
"Ok I guess" Benji said shifting Jagger in his arms, "What did you do to his hair?" Amy laughed, looking at the Spiked hair her son now sported, "Oh that" Benji said sheepishly, "He wanted to look like me" Benji replied, "Well that's a Good thing isn't it Benji" Amy asked putting down the Bottle of water.
"Amy, he asked me again" Benji replied his voice very somber and cold, Amy knew that Benji could never straight answer Jagger when he asked that questions, "What did you tell him?" Amy asked stepping closer to him, "I couldn't lie to him Amy, Told him I couldn't be his father" Benji replied looking down onto the Sleeping Body of the Four year old. "Im sorry he asked you" Amy said trying to comfort him, "Deryck never did want him to go through life searching for a Father" Benji replied. "He won't have to Benji, We'll tell him" Amy replied receiving a hug from Benji.
"Come on, lets put him back into his Bed" Amy announced walking out of the Kitchen and up the stairs into Jagger's room, She turned on his Night Light, and stood in the corner as Benji walked over to the bed placing the sleeping boy inside the Bed, He kissed his forehead lightly. "Night Jagg" Benji replied as he turned towards Amy, Who herself was caught up in the moment.
Amy did at times sit back and watch Benji with her Son, Putting Deryck's voice onto Benji's. She tired many times to imagine that Benji was Deryck. She wanted Deryck back and to her Benji was the closest link she had to Deryck. As far as she was concern that night when Benji would put Jagger to bed, Amy saw in her own eyes Deryck kissing his son instead of Benji.
"Well Im going to and lay in my room for a little while, I'll see you tomorrow" Benji said kissing Amy's forehead and walking out of the room, He always did that, kiss her forehead trying to Comfort her, He had done it since Deryck's funeral, He used to not think anything of it, But know he was careful to only kiss her when Jagger was asleep, he didn't want to confuse the poor boy anymore.
Amy watched Benji leave the room and she placed her back against the wall of Jagger's bedroom "Mommy" His small voice cracked, "Yea baby?" Amy said walking over towards his bed, "Can you make Benji my Dad?" Jagger asked starring with his Deep Blue eyes into his mothers very heart, "I don't know about that Jagger" Amy replied, "Could you try?" Jagger pleaded, "I'll try, but Im not making any promises Jagger" Amy replied kissing his forehead, "Good night Mommy" Jagger said as Amy walked towards the door, "Night Jagg" Amy said closing the Door partly behind her.
