The rest of the week followed the same kind of pattern. Biff went to work. Jon went to daycare. In the evenings Jon was quite tired and went to bed fairly early. Biff enjoyed having some time to himself each evening. He noticed Jon developing more infantile behaviour the more tired he became. In the mornings and early part of the evening Jon was just like himself but as bedtime approached he would start to make less sense when he talked and more than once Biff saw Jon sucking his thumb without really noticing.
It was on Thursday evening at dinner when Jon asked Biff if they could have a bit of a night off on Friday night. He wanted to wear his normal clothes for a break and hoped Biff felt the same. It was at this point that Biff decided to share with Jon the texts exchange he had been having all week. He told Jon that he had been contacted by Jon's dad, who was called Ken. He showed Jon some photos of Ken on his phone and Jon was relieved to see that he at least seemed like a normal enough guy. He explained to Jon how Ken and Biff, or the woman whose life Biff was now living had dated in the past but when the woman became pregnant Ken got scared off. He was now willing to turn his life around and wanted to be a good father to Jon and to support Biff. Being totally honest Biff told Jon that he could use a break himself. Being a single mother was hard work and he hoped he understood. Jon was very mature about it and agreed to pay along for the weekend. If they were both going to be stuck in these lives then he had to at least make the most of it. He didn't want to be a burden on Biff. Sure, he could mostly take care of himself but it wouldn't be right for Biff to leave him alone and he still relied on Biff to change his diaper and take care of all his meals. He was nervous about meeting Ken but also a bit relieved that, as a baby, not too much would be expected of him.
Biff was glad that they had talked about it and that Jon was handling it so well. After he out Jon down to sleep he decided to text Ken again and just remind him of all the things Jon would need. He packed a weekend bag for Jon with several outfits, pyjamas and a stack if diapers.
The next morning when Biff dropped Jon off at daycare he left the bag there and explained that Jon's dad would be collecting him today.
