Ben was Michael and Joey's temporary foster son and Nicole's foster brother. His first and only appearance was on The Only Child in season 1.

Biography
Ben was first placed with Michael and Joey when Nicole asked for a baby brother. Ben lived with them on weekends and would spend the rest of the week at the children's home, until he could be placed with a foster family.

Right before going to the children's home, Ben lived with a foster family, the O'Donnell's. They sent him back when he got too old and they wanted a baby.

During his time with Michael, Joey, and Nicole, they took him to football games, and played games like "Ben Ball" and "Volleyben". Whenever Ben wasn't playing with Michael or Joey, he followed Nicole around and asked to taste all her food.

They threw him a party at Klawiki's, where he got a robot/rocket launcher and a football cake. When someone remarks that he's getting to be a big boy now, he runs away, and Nicole follows him. She finds him upstairs, and he tells her how he's scared he's never going to be adopted because he's nine now. Nicole shares her story of how she met Michael and Joey. At the end of their heart-to-heart, Nicole takes Ben for a walk through the park.

The O'Donnell's realize they miss Ben and adopt him. Ben instructs Judge Wilbur to give Nicole her new address and to tell her to write him.

Nicole Bradford
Nicole found Ben annoying at first, and didn't like how her fathers were spending all their time playing with him. Ben looked up to her, following her around and tasting all her food. Nicole comes to love Ben, even settling his fears that he would never be adopted because he was too old. When he's finally adopted by his previous foster family, she's sad, but happy he was adopted. Ben leaves her his address so they can exchange letters.
