Logan made sure to shut the door quietly. Gustavo had made him stay later than all of the other guys so that he could work on his dancing and it was now 10 at night. He was starving and hoped that they had saved him some food from dinner. It was fish stick friday.
Walking in and setting his coat on the counter he saw James sitting on the couch. Lacey was in his arms and he was feeding her. Camille was asleep next to him. Lacey was a month old now but still got her days and nights confused. She slept all day and was awake all night, a habit that was proving hard to break.
James looked over at Logan and smiled at him.
"How was dance practice?" he asked.
"Good. When did Camille fall asleep?" Logan asked, getting a plate out of the cupboard.
"An hour ago. Lace was asleep for a while but when she woke up I didn't want her to wake Camille so I decided to play my uncle role," James stood up, walking over to Logan, Lacey still in his arms.
Logan smiled, nibbling at his food. James was the only one, asides from Camille and Logan, that Lacey would let feed her. She had preferences for everything. If she was going to sleep, she wanted Kendall. If she was playing, she wanted Carlos. If she was being fed, she wanted James. And, for some reason, she cried everytime Jo held her. That was something that Jo hated, seeing as she loved Lacey like her own child.
"She really does love you," Logan said.
"She loves everyone. And she'll learn to love Jo, eventually."
Lacey spit out her bottle and turned her head so she was looking at her dad. James moved her, burped her, and then set her back in her previous position.
"You're good at baby-sitting," Logan complimented.
"She's just easy to baby-sit. Although, I have noticed that if she's crying, she only wants Katie to hold her."
"Doesn't shock me. She seems to really like Katie."
Logan washed his plate and walked around the counter, taking Lacey from James. Lacey smiled and giggled when he took her, something she always did when he held her.
"She's a daddys girl. No doubt about it," James said.
"I hope Griffin doesn't get on us about another tour to make up for the one we walked out on." Logan moved to go and sit on the couch. He patted Camille on the shoulder, told her to go to bed, and watched as she made her way to her bedroom, still half asleep.
James went and sat down next to him. "He shouldn't. I mean, he's a sucker for baby's. The minute he sees Lacey he should realize that he would be unfare to seperate you two."
"I sure hope so. Gustavo certainly is a sucker for her. I've never seen him happier than he is when he holds her."
"Yeah. You should've knocked Camille up earlier," James said, laughing.
Logan shot him a look. "Be quiet. The only way it could've been earlier was by like, two weeks. Hey, where are the guys? I know they can't be asleep yet. Where's Mama Knight and Katie, for that matter?"
"Mama Knight had a date," James said, waggling his eyebrows. "Katie is over at this girls house. They met at school and I think her name is Kristie. Carlos took Stephanie out for dinner and a movie and Kendall and Jo are back in Kendall's bedroom."
Logan groaned. "I have to share that bedroom. And Lacey is in my room tonight. I don't want to go to bed thinking about what they did in there."
"Calm down. Just because you had sex with your girlfriend doesn't mean Kendall is doing it with Jo."
Almost on cue there was the sound of a headboard hitting a wall from the back bedroom. Logan looked at him.
"Told ya. And don't say sex around Lacey. She's little," Logan said, using his dad voice.
"Dude, she's been asleep since we sat down." James said.
Logan looked down at Lacey and, sure enough, she was asleep. He smiled, noticing how her bottom lip stuck out when she slept. He went and put her down in her bouncy chair before going back over to James.
"Kendall better not get her pregnant," Logan said.
"Yeah. Mama Knight wouldn't be cool with two crying babies in the house."
"Especially if one started calling her 'grandma'."
Jo left the apartment around eleven, but Logan didn't go to bed until eleven thirty. James had stayed up with him, and so had Carlos, once he got home. They had talked about how Stephanie had dragged him to a chick flick movie and they had actually sat and watched the entire thing, much to Carlos's dismay. The two finally went to bed when Lacey started getting fussy from all the laughter.
Logan went over and picked her up out of her chair, rocking her slowly until she finally fell back into a deep sleep. He went into his and Kendall's room, closing the door behind him. At the foot of his bed was a basinet, which was white with a pink ribbon running around it. A changing table was next to his dresser by the door.
Logan set Lacey down in the bassinet and then went to change into his pajamas. Once her was in the bathroom he and Kendall shared he heard Lacey start crying.
"I got her," Kendall called.
Logan smiled, slipped on his pajamas and walked out. Kendall was sitting on his bed, Lacey in his arms. He was rocking her back and forth slowly, humming lightly as he did. She was still whimpering, but they were getting softer and softer while she watched her honorary uncle with intense focus.
"Wow, she never looks at me that intensly," Logan said, sitting across from Kendall on his own bed.
"You're always with her. She knows everything about you, believe it or not. She's your daughter. She's half you. Me, I'm different. She's still figuring me out." Kendall moved some of her hair out of her face and Lacey promptly grabbed onto his finger.
"I guess you're right," Logan said, yawning.
Kendall looked at him. "Dude, go to sleep. Gustavo practically killed you today. Lacey will fall asleep soon and then I'll go to bed."
"But, Kendall..."
"Don't say you feel bad. This is what friends are for. And don't say that Camille doesn't get the same help when it's her night. Because I know for a fact that Carlos helps her out."
Logan smiled and looked at his daughter, who was still studying Kendall.
"Ok. But, if you need anything, wake me up."
"Fine. Now, sleep before I hit you," Kendall said.
Lacey giggled and Logan smiled. "Daddy getting hurt is funny," he said.
"Always will be."

Kendall: You're spying on my sex life? In the first chapter?
Me: Yepp. :)
*Logan and James start laughing*
Me: What's so funny?
James: *wiping away a tear* It's good to have you back.
