"I can't exactly say I routinely spend mornings spitting my coffee around the kitchen," Kevin said, continuing to wipe the floor. "My sense of humor wakes up much later than I do. And I only wake up, like, half an hour after I actually get up."

"Huh. Interesting." Tabitha said. "Well, I guess I have been rough with you. Sorry. I'll try to be more gentle in the mornings."

"That's a relief," Kevin raised his eyes at her with a smirk.

Tabitha snorted and just looked into her coffee. Lips pressed tightly together, though a small smile broke through. She was trying very hard not to say anything more...'rough'.

As Kevin finished with the floor, he threw the paper away and returned to his chair, taking the cup with the rest of his coffee. "So how are we going to deal with the rest of the day?" he asked. "Do you have another work today?"

"Yeah." Tabitha nodded. "But, I do night shifts everyday, so..."

"Oh," Kevin said. He wasn't sure how she could handle her other work, and Mark, and then watching over him at night, all at once. But she didn't seem to be complaining, so he left the responsibility to her.
He finished his coffee and got up. "I guess I'll go take a shower, then... I think I smell like an ashtray."

"You kinda do." Tabitha said with a nod. "I'll get Mark if he wakes up, of course."

"Okay," Kevin nodded.
He headed for the shower, rubbing his forehead in an attempt to become more awake. The shower helped some, too; never needing to shave, he ruffled his wet hair with a towel and looked at the mirror to make sure he wasn't looking too weird or tired.

Sometime while Kevin was in the shower, Mark had woken up and at the sound of his whimpers Tabitha went and got him. After changing his diaper she brought him into the kitchen and started to make him a bottle with one hand, while the other held him securely.

Kevin peeked into the kitchen just before leaving, he already had a set of clothes morphed over him, ready to go. Seeing Tabitha with Mark, he caught himself thinking it was a weird thing - he'd seen them like that a few times already over the past months, but just like this, in the morning, before going to work, it wasn't something he could get used to. He tried to shake the feeling off. "He-ey," he smiled, walking over. "Already up?"

Tabitha turned slightly to face him. "Yup." She said, smiling. "Here, go to your daddy. I need to put the top on the bottle." She said and went to hand Mark over to Kevin, gently.

Kevin accepted Mark, carefully placing him on the shoulder and leaning slightly back to make it comfortable for the baby. "So," he asked, taking a better look at Mark's face to see how the baby was doing, "how did you sleep? Kept Tabitha awake all night with your snoring?"

Tabitha laughed a bit at that, as she screwed the top on the bottle. She dabbed the bottle on her inner wrist, pouring a dot of milk on her skin, to see if it was at a good temperature and then handed it to Kevin. "Here you are."

Kevin let Mark slide a bit down and held him in the crook of his elbow. "I'm getting late for work but I honestly don't care..." he said absently, taking the bottle and offering it to Mark, who started to suck on it while staring at Kevin with his big red eyes.
