what happens to kevin's and wymack's relationship over the years and wymack being a grandfather and all

A

While Kevin is at PSU they will continue to aggravate the ever-living hell out of each other, and they’ll fuss and throw tantrums and Kevin will continue being a high-handed snot when he thinks Wymack is wrong, but having the truth out means they are now kind of stuck with each other and they know it.

It’s easier after graduation, when Wymack is no longer so entrenched in Kevin’s day-to-day life, because they’ll have less time to fight and less time in each other’s space. Wymack’s absence during Kevin’s formative years & Kevin’s time at Castle Evermore means they’ll never have a .. normal? affectionate? relationship, but they do make really awkward attempts to stay in touch as their lives start taking different directions.

It’s easier after Amalia is born, because being a father is so far out of Kevin’s comfort zone. She is something Kevin & Wymack can bond around, a tiny human who doesn’t ((yet)) have anything to do with Exy.

((Kevin doesn’t think he has the right to miss his mother, because she’s been gone for pretty much his entire life and he barely remembers her, but when Amalia is born there are days when that awful grief puts a hole in his chest so deep he can’t breathe. It is something Thea doesn’t understand, as she still has both parents, but a loss Neil & Wymack know by name.

Wymack gives Kevin memories of Kayleigh to share with Amalia one day, and while it isn’t enough to right the wrongness of her absence, it is at least enough to hold Kevin together while his heart heals.))

Wymack likes being a grandfather more than he expected to. After all these years of working with damaged and distrustful kids, it is a wondrous new experience to have a tiny creature who does not yet know– who hopefully will never learn– how cruel the world can be. She is a second chance at having a family, which he’d decided years ago was impossible.

He grouses about her losing her toys under his couch, and the older he gets the more his hip aches when he has to crawl around with her in search of the missing pieces of her intricate playsets, but he loves the way she can pass out at the drop of a hat and how she runs for him with arms wide any time she sees him. He loves that she asks questions, that she gives her parents as good as she gets, that she puts gray in narcissistic Kevin’s hair with her attitude and her first batch of PMS.

She is the glue that stitches this unlikely family together, and the older she gets the more Kevin & Wymack can learn to appreciate each other as people.
