Pete Davidson holds hands with Kim and Kanye’s son while shopping

pete davidson is in full stepdad mode – at the mature age of 28 – because the guy already feels comfortable enough to grab Kim and Kanyeson’s hand.

The ‘SNL’ alum was at The Grove mall in Los Angeles on Saturday with a 6-year-old St. Westwho held Papa Pete tightly as they browsed the shops and just before entering the Cheesecake Factory…with what appears to be a lone bodyguard.

Eyewitnesses tell us that the hat Saint is wearing is actually a PD purchased for him…which the kid seemed to appreciate, seeing how he let Pete guide him through the cobbled paths of Grove.

We are told there was no sight of Kim here, nor of the other children. And no — you weren’t there either… as you can imagine. He would probably flip his lid if he saw this with his 👀.

Unfortunately for him, it may take some getting used to…as it becomes increasingly clear that the longer this relationship lasts that Pete has certainly met the kids before, and will continue to be there. Not only that, but he’s pretty comfortable with them…and they with him.

We have already seen North sitting on Pete’s lap a few months ago as he drove her everywhere in a golf cart… that’s the kind of thing that, you know, real dads usually do.

Of course, there is also the question of the exposed neck tattoo he got who has all of the kids’ first name initials (plus Kim’s)… which caused a lot of controversy on its own.

It looks like Kim is okay with that…and again, it shows just how serious they are as a couple. They’ve been together for less than a year and yet they almost feel like a blended family these days. Especially with times like these.

Something tells us that while Pete and Kim are still together over the holidays, this year’s Kardashian Christmas card is potentially going to look a whole lot different thanks to a new addition.
