"You can cry, ain't no shame in it."
Will SmithBen had been excited all day for his first ever t-ball game. Daddy was sitting in the stands, watching him with a big smile on his face. They had been playing catch for weeks so Ben could be ready for this day. He was so ready to kick some butt

That was a shit move, and he knew it. And needless to say, Dean was pissed, but he knew that screaming at the kid wasn't going to get him anywhere. The umpire seemed to be dealing with the situation alright, so Dean was gonna focus on his son and deal with bitching about the kid later. So he did what he did best and scooped his son up off the ground, carrying him back towards the bench and sitting him down on his lap so that he could look him over.

"I know, buddy, I know," he sighed gently, before leaning back from Ben so that he could have a look at his face. "Lemme have a look, alright?"

"It hurts." Yes, that was a missing tooth causing a new lisp in Ben's voice and he snuggled closer, hugging his father tightly.

"I know it hurts, but I can't fix it unless I know what I'm lookin' at, alright?" He didn't mind hugging his kid, but he needed to see what the damage was. He placed his hands gently on the sides of Ben's face and started to tilt his head back so that he could look at him. "It'll just be a minute."

Ben whimpered as Dean held his face and tilted his head back. His right eyes was winced closed and there was a cut on his cheek. The red mark that would be a bruise want in a diagnoal line from next to the eye, down his cheek and to his mouth. Thankfully, his nose was safe, but one of Ben's top teeth was gone and another was flapping easily back and forth with his breathing.
