--The Start of a Family--(Greek){Years Later}

Kat rolled her eyes. "Of ourse, babe," Kat sat up and picked Connor out of Seth's arms. She rested his small head on her shoulder and began to pat his back lightly waiting for the small burp. "We can do whatever we want today." Kat said lightly. "Of course not anything, you're technixally not twenty one yet so..." Kat smirked and stuck her tongue out at Seth. She always bugged him about being two months older then him and reminding him about it just left him aggrivated. It was fun, and an easy topic to pull someone's mind away from things.

Seth looked up at Kat and rolled his eyes. "Just because my birthday is in August does not give you the right to brag," Seth said, grinning a bit. Kat was older than him by two month. Lucky girl. Like the child he was, Seth stuck his tounge out at Kat. "I'm 20! I can still do a lot of things!" Seth said, raising his eyebrows up and down. A small smile appeared on Seth's lips. Seth watched as kat patted Connor on the back as he gave a small burp. "What do we do with Connor?" Seth asked. He was still just a newborn.

Kat smiled satisfied with Connor's burp. His eyes were already starting to close again so Kat layed him down in the small portable crib on the other side of the couch. "Let's see," Kat mused, "We're not loners. It's not like we don't have anyone who is willing to watch him if we want to go out." In Kat's eyes, they were still kids, they were just doing bigger things. Kat flopped back down on the couch curling up next to Seth. She didn't mind the Summer heat that much. Camp never had air conditioners in the cabins. She was used to that kind of thing. Now getting a good look at the living room as she wasn't so tired anymore, Kat noticed that new baby toys and clothes still scattered the area. "Geuss we never cleaned up after the baby shower," Kat muttered. The only things the two of them had really put away and set up were the cribs, changing table and car seat. Now, it just looked like a whole lot more work.

Seth groaned. "I know tell me about it," Seth told Kat, wrpping his arms around Kat. Flashing his eyes over to Connor, Seth could see that Connor was alseep.There was wrapping paper scattered here and there. Baby clothes were all over the floor. Sighing, Seth leaned back and closed his eyes. He felt really lazy today. "I don't wanna clean up," Seth complained. He looked down at Kat and smirked. Leaning forward, Seth gently kissed her on the lips.

Kat smirked lightly at Seth's comment about cleaning. He would be complaning about this type of thing. As Seth kissed her she straightened her self up right and wrapped her arms around his neck and running her fingers through his blond hair. Seth was right. Connor's hair was going to turn out just like his.

Seth smiled under the kiss as Kat ran her hands through his hair. Seth wrapped his arms round Kat's waist and brought her closer to him. After a while, Seth pulled away and sighed. "So...what do we do today? Connor's sleeping," Seth said, sounding bored already. Seth's eyes flashed to the clock on the wall. The clock read 6:30. Seth groaned. It was only six in the morning and the day seemed to be going slow. What baby wakes up this early?

Kat rolled her eyes. "You gotta learn to get up with your dad," she teased. She wrapped her arms around Seth's back pulling herself close to him. She leaned her head against his chest and sighed. "We can do whatever you want to do," Kat told him softly. It was still early, but Kat didn't care. They still had a long road ahead of them she didn't want to speed down.

Seth snorted. "Yeah, get up at the same time as my dad. Okay," Seth said scarcastically. Seth rolled his eyes at Kat. Seth looked back at Connor who was sleeping. An idea popped in Seth's head. "Let's sleep. Connor will wake up in a few hours anyway," Seth said grinning. Leaning back, Seth closed his eyes and fell asleep, snoring lightly.

Kat rolled her eyes. "Sure, sure, Seth," she whispered resting her head on Seth's chest. She curled up and closed her eyes pulling Seth's arms around her. Sleeping sounded really, really good at thay point. Seth needed it, Kat needed it. Who knew when they would get anymore sleep. Connor had some weird sleeping schedule.

~~~~8 Months Later...~~~~

Seth truged home from work after working an 8 hour shift at the hospital. Of course it had to be raining. Of course the trains had to be cancalled. Seth had to walk twenty blocks to go home. The whole time, Seth was grumbling under his breath. Sighing, Seth fianlly reached the apartment and jogged up the steps, opening the door. Let's just say Seth was in a bad mood. Seth threw his bag across the room, it hitting the wall. Connor crawled up to Seth and sat up, indicating he wanted to be held. Seth smiled lightly and picked Connor up.

Kat skidded into the living room and sighed when she saw Connor in Seth's arm. "Oh great," she said irritibly. "You got him." She wasn't going to admit it but Connor had somehow gotten away from her for a second. Kat swore he was some speed demon when crawling around. Kat wasn't really in the mood for anything. Connor was glad and happy running away and getting into troubke every ten minutes. Not eatig and peeing everywhere. Kat hadn't ever gotten out of te clothes she wore to bed: Another one of Seth's black t-shirts and grey sweat pants that hugged her legs. She was tired and cranky and not happy that Seth was throwing his stuff everywhere. Kat gave Seth a look as she spotted his bag flung half way across the room. "Oh what the hell," she went over to it, picked it up and shoved it in his hand that wasn't holding Connor. "Don't throw your crap around. It's bad enough all these baby toys are left everywhere."

Seth narrowed his eyes at Kat. "What's 'oh great' suppose to mean Kat?" Seth asked in a snappy tone. Seth walked over to the counter and set his bag on the counter. "There, it's not on the floor," Seth said. Connor whimpered a bit, as if he could sense something was gonna happen. "At least you didn't have to walk 20 blocks in the pouring rain," Seth told Kat, a little annoyed. Seth hair was dripping wet and his shirt was soaked as it could be. Seth knew he probably going to get the flu from walking in the pouring rain. As if to prove it, Seth started to cough. "Dammit," Seth muttered under his breath. Connor whimpered again.

Kat Glared at Seth. "Oh perfect," She muttered taking Coonor out of Seth's arms. "Curse with the kid and get him sick." Connor pulled on Seth's shirt litely before being taken away, which Kat didn't seem to notice. Kat went into Connor's room to put him down. "I'm sorry you had a horrible day. Things around here aren't much better!" Connor cried a bit before being put down. "Shh, nap time," Kat soothed but he wouldn't lay down. Stubborn just like his father. Kat walked back out of the baby's room and shut the door softly. "You don't need to take it out on the rest of us." Kat muttered walking back into the kitchen.

Seth rolled his eyes at Kat. "Oh please Kat, you said crap before. It's not Connor can talk anyway. Besides, how to you even have a horrible day here. You don't work an eight hour shift everyday and watch people die," Seth told Kat, getting slightly annoyed. Connor started to cry and it could be heard where Seth and Kat were. Seth groaned. "Why did you even put him in the crib if you know he's not gonna sleep?" Seth asked, already walking out of the room. Seth went to Connor and picke him up. Connor was still crying and laid his head on Seth's chest. Seth walke back into the kitchen where Kay was, looking annoyed. Connor continued to cry softly.

Kat threw her hands in the air. Of course. Seth went to bring Connor back out. "Oh yes," she said. "Pleas excuse me for thinking that your job is easy. Because you just run your pretty little hands over someine and they instantly feel better because with all those miracles you do it must be really exhausting. Give me a break Seth. You and me both know that your job is the easiest thing. You don't sit at home all day dealing with a crying, cranky and not potty trained kid that's not even a year old. You have no idea what I go through every single freaking day because I'm a mom!" Kat realized she was yelling but barely cared. Seth couldn't walk in the house acting like he was the king of the world. Kat set Connor down for a nap before dinner everyday, no matter what. And then Seth comes in and feels like he can cjange everything just because he had a bad day. Connor was crying now.

Seth glared at Kat. Shifting Connor to his other side, Seth yelled, "Oh please Kat! You try running a hospital with a bunch of newly trained interns that know nothing about shi-stuff! And then you have those crazy patients and then you have the ones that pracially wanna kill you! Oh, and I'm sure you see weird cases of this and that. I can't even user so called healing powers because people would find it weird!" Seth yelled at the top of his lungs. Connor cried even harder. Seth was loosing his patience by the minute. Seth gently set Connor in his baby chair. Angrily, Seth turned to Kat. "I don't know how you think being a mom is hard. All you do is practically sit on your butt all day!" Seth yelled, his green eyes angry.

Kat was furious now. "Why don't you try it for a day then, huh? How many times have you gotten up in the middle of the night for him? How many times have you changed his diper? How many times did you feed him? Did you ever climb into his crib so he would stop crying and fall asleep? Seth, you've barely done any of that! You're at work all day! I havn't been out of the house sense last Tuesday and that was to get baby stuff. Everything I ever do is for Connor or for you because once you get home you do nothing! The last time I did something for myself was when we went out to dinner with Sam and Eli last month and that wasn't even just us! I can't believe I was stupid enough to go through eight months of your crap!" Kat threw her hands up in the air. They weren't ready. They never were. They couldn't do this it was too hard.

Seth glared at Kat and clenched his hands that were at his sides. Seth closed his eyes and tried to calm down. That really didn't work so to speak of. Seth opened his eyes and his normal loving green eyes were filled with fury. "You know what? You seem perfectly capable of doing this by yourself! You don't need me! It seems like you don't want me around here! Why don't I make your life better and just leave so you don't have to puck up my crap anymore or complain about doing stuff for me! I seem like a nuciancse around here!" Seth yelled at Kat. Connor was crying in the background and crawling to Kat, motioning for Kat to pick him up. Even Connor didn't want Seth here. Without even thinking, Seth grabbed his jacket, coughed some more, and went out the front door, slamming it shut. Seth walked to the end of the block and kicked the wall. "Dammit," Seth muttered, sliding down against the wall, outing his head in his hands.

Kat barely understood what was going on. "Fine!" she yelled as Seth suggested he just leave. Before Kat could say anything else, he was gone. By the time Kat processed everything Seth might have been half way across town. Kat felt sick to her stomach. She clutched the counter with her hand but slid to the ground and began to cry with Connor. She held him close to her whispering sorry apologies and assuring him things would be okay. But Kat didn't even believe her lies. Thunder clapped loudly outside and suddenly, the power was out letting in only the little bit of sun that was shining through the clouds that was left. Kat wanted to stand up and curse Zeus out then and there for making things worse. Kat stood up shakily, holding Connor in her arms. She couldn't believe what just happened. It didn't seem possible. "I can't do it alone," she whispered to no one. Connor cried harder in Kat's arms wailing loudly.

Seth put his head in his hands. Gods, Seth felt so stupid. The rain had stopped and the sun was peeking through. But the sun couldn't stop the chill of March. Seth shivered and zipped up his jacket. Coughing once more, Seth stood up shakily. Seth walked back to the apartment, trying his best not to break down. Seth felt like he was losing everything. Seth lost his mom and he probably just lost Kat. Again. Seth walked up the steps and leaned his head up against the door. "Kat... It's me. Can you let me in please? Please Kat, I can't loose you,"Seth said through the door. Seth wasn't even sure Kat had heard him. Seth slowly opened the door that was unlocked to find a wailing Connor and a broken Kat. Seth dropped his keys and drips of water fell from Seth's hair. Seth coughed and went over to Kat. He slowly sat down next to her. Connor stopped crying and was sniffling now, reaching his arms out to Seth. Seth grabbed Connor and cradled him in his arms. "Kat," Seth whispered. Seth gulped; she probably hated him. Kat deserved to anyway. "Kat I'm sorry for being a jerk," Seth said, his voice somewhat cracking at the end.

Kat didn't even hear Seth come back in. When he sat down beside her she jumped and looked to her left to see him sitting there soaking wet. Kat let Connor clib his way over to Seth and into his arms before she buried her face in Seth's wet jacket and cried ignoreing his apology. She was the one who should have been sorry. "Don't be," she whispered, her voice muffled. Kat cried but tried to stop herself. She may have just been still crying out her feelings of hurt or was just overly joyed that Seth came back. "I can't lose you."

Seth wrapped his free arm around Kat and kissed her forehead gently. "I can't loose you," Seth repeated to Kat. For the saying sorry thing, Seth really didn't wanna argue with Kat. Seth coughed lightly and kissed Kat's forehead again. With his hand, he rubbed circles on Kat's back so she would stop crying. Connor clapped his hands and babbled a bit. Seth smiled at Connor. "Yeah, I live you too Connor," Seth said. Connor babble and clapped his hands together again. Connor wriggles free from Seth's arms and crawled over to Kat. Connor raised his arms up, motioning for Kat to pick him up.

Kat couldn't stop crying. She hadn't cried this much since Bella died years ago. She felt pathetic. Kat hated to look weak. It wasn't a very attractive trait. But she couldn't help it. Kat stayed buried in Seth's jacket holding Connor close to her. He rested his tiny head on her shoulder as if trying to help confort her. Kat felt the soothing feeling of Seth's hands circleing her back. She hugged him tighter trying to calm herself down. It wasn't workinf well.

Seth felt Kat hug him tighter. "Shh, it's okay Kat. I'm here," Seth told Kat, soothing her. Seth knew that Kat hated crying. Connor giggled and clapped his hands in Kat's arms. Seth smiled a bit. Seth held Kat closer to him. He kissed the top of her forehead again. Connor bunched his eyebrows together, as if Connor was trying to say something. "Momma," Connor babbled and laughed again. Seth smiled. Connor just said his first word.

Kat smiled and laughed lightly. Connor just said his first real world. Kat pulled him closer to her and kissed his head. She laughed again lightly pushing away all the thoughts she was thinking before. "Now we just need you to learn how to tell us what you want and when you need to poop." Kat whiped her eyes and sniffled lightly. She leaned her head against Seth's shoulder and looked at Connor who was trying to pull at Kat's hair.
