A/N: Just for reference, Kevin is 19, Joe is 18 and Nick is 14, nearly 15.

Chapter One

All three brothers waited around backstage of the arena. Kevin fiddled with his plectrum nervously as he and his brothers awaited their set. Kevin heard heavy footsteps running behind him, he turned and saw his youngest brother Nick.

"I can't do this Kevin!" He cried, brushing his fingers frantically through his curls.

"Nick, you always say this, you know once you get out there you're okay,"

"I know," Nick squealed, "It's just the build up that get's me! Just talk to me, take my mind off it," Nick instructed.

"Erm…" Kevin racked his brains for a nerve calming topic.

"I like your hair," Nick smiled, pointing to Kevin's straightened mop.

"Thanks, I needs cutting though," Kevin chuckled, "I'm starting to look like a poodle,"

"WOO!" Miley shrieked out, running off stage, "Man that was awesome! HIGH FIVE HIGH FIVE!" She cried, running around giving random crew members high fives. She ran towards Nick, swinging her legs up around his waist and kissed his cheek.

"Er, Miley," Kevin pulled her off his brother, "Brother talk going on here," he indicated towards the pair of them.

"Hmpf," Miley folded her arms and frowned childishly, she then flounced off to get some attention from Joe.

"Jesus," Kevin sighed and Nick laughed.

Kevin bent down slightly to Nick's level and looked him dead in the eye.

"Nicholas Jonas, you know you are fantastic at what you do," He smiled and poked his little brother's nose, lightly and playfully, "Now get out there and shake what Momma gave you,"

Nick patted his brother playfully on the arm and ran off to get mic-ed up. Kevin pulled the strap of the guitar over his shoulder and strummed a few chords to make sure it was in tune.

"Joe!" he called, "C'mon man, let's go,"

Joe ran up to him, he was obviously in crazy mode; he'd been making 'Your Mom' jokes back and fourth with Garbo all day.

"Hey Kevin! YOUR MOM!"

Kevin shook his head, "Hey Joe, my mom is your mom!" There was a moments silence as Joe caught up. He shook his head and ran off again.

"Hey John Taylor! YOUR MOM!"

Nick approached him again, fully mic-ed up and ready. He put an arm around his little brother comfortingly. Nick nuzzled into his elder brother's chest.

"Kev, I'm scared," Nick muttered.

"Don't worry, Baby J, I'm here," he smiled, "Alright guys let's go," he called at the crew and they all made their way to the stage.

After the show, the gang was congregated in the Jonas Brother's tour bus having an end of tour party. The Diet Coke was flowing and so were the nachos with dip. Kevin made his way through the crowd and saw out of the corner of his eye Miley sitting with Nick.

He chuckled to himself; Miley really didn't give up easily.

She was kissing his ear and whispering dirty things to him. Nick tried to distract himself but he didn't want to be rude. He mouthed 'Help me!' to Kevin while Miley was working at his neck.

"Uh, Nick c'mon man insulin check," Kevin grabbed Nick's hand and took him away despite Miley's best effort to cling onto Nick.

Kevin pulled Nick into the bathroom and locked it so Miley or anyone couldn't follow them.

"Thanks so much dude," Nick breathed a sigh of relief, "She is crazy,"

"Tell me about it," Kevin checked himself out in the mirror, using his fingers as a brush, "She is totally locked onto you or something,"

"Can we just hang out in here for a bit?" Nick asked, "In a bus there really isn't anywhere to hide,"

"Except for your bunk," the pair looked at each other with smirks on their faces, "You wouldn't want her to follow you in there!"

"Toilet sounds good to me," Nick laughed.

"How did you find tonight?" Kevin asked, popping a spot.

"I loved it, you know I did,"

"Was just double checking," Kevin smiled, straightening out his shirt.

There was a silence as Nick rummaged through his wash bag.

"Looking for your meter?" Kevin asked as he pulled it out of his own was bag, "I knew you'd forget it," he giggled.

Nick smiled appreciatively, "Thanks," and he pricked his finger like always.

"Levels good?" Kevin asked, blowing his nose on toilet tissue.

"Yep, they're great," Nick smiled, holding out his pricked figure to his brother.

Kevin bought it closer to his lips and kissed his little brothers finger three times, "and one of luck," Kevin grinned, "like always,"

Suddenly Nick jolted and he held his stomach.

"You gonna puke?" Kevin asked, placing his hand on the small of his brother's back.

"No," Nick shook his head, "But I had a stomach ache today, I thought it was nerves, perhaps it's just aftershock," he looked up at his brother.

"From such an awesome show?" Kevin smiled, and planted a kiss to Nick's forehead, "Let me know if it gets worse okay," and Nick nodded.

"Let's go," he nodded towards the door and the pair of them let themselves out.

Joe was sitting on the bunk directly outside the toilet door, looking concerned, "Everything okay?" he asked.

"Yep, all cool, just did insulin check and had to save Nick from the Miley-Saurus," and both brother's laughed.

"I will probably regret asking this, but where is she?" Nick asked, looking up and down the bus.

"She had to go home," Denise raised her eyebrows knowingly, "but she did leave her phone number for you Nick… which I threw in the trash,"

All four of them laughed.

"Good call, Mom," Kevin giggled.

"Geddit! Call!" Joe rolled around laughing hysterically while the others helped their mother clean up. As soon as Nick was out of earshot, Kevin turned to their mother with concern.

"Mom, Nick complained of a stomach ache to me today,"

"Okay," Denise replied, plainly.

"I was just worried because, well, y'know, it's Nick. We've always got to worry a little bit with him. If it was Joe I'd be telling you it's because he ate too much candy, but this is Nick and he's my baby brother who has diabetes and I'm –,"

"Take a breath baby," Denise soothed her son, "I'm sure Nicky will be just fine, we'll keep and eye on him tonight and if things get worse, we know what to do," Denise nodded, reassuring Kevin and herself of her younger son's welfare, "We have God and we have faith," she kissed his promise ring. Kevin sighed and kissed his mom, dad and youngest brother Frankie goodnight before retiring to his shower.
