In the Beginning
Ok so this is the a prequel to me We Are saga. You don't have to read those fics, (Landslide, Aftermath, We Are, and Happy Mistakes) to read this. Though this might make you want to read those. This will be roughly five chapters, depending on what you guys want to see.
Chapter 1: Year One
James smiled as he followed Kendall through the crowds of reporters. He had just left the hospital after his five month ultrasound. He had the picture of his baby in his hands and he was keeping it hidden from prying eyes. This wasn't for them to see. It was for him and Kendall, and anyone they chose to tell.
He felt a hand on his back. James glanced over to Kendall who had slowed down a bit. They reached the car and Kendall smiled and quickly opened the door for him. James smiled and thanked the blonde. Kendall just grinned at his boyfriend. They were both in a good mood. Nothing could bring them down, even the people following them.
Once they were on the road James gave a small sigh of relief. He was glad to be away from all the reporters for the moment. Kendall reached over and grabbed James' hand as he drove.
"How you feeling?" Kendall asked breaking the silence.
"Excited, we're having a boy Kendall," James said excitedly. He held the ultrasound picture out to look at it. It was amazing that a small human being was growing inside of him.
"Yeah, so how about Kendall?" Kendall asked with a smirk.
"That's what people expect, I really like the name Jacob," James said.
"Jacob Kendall?" Kendall asked.
"I was thinking more like Jacob Elijah," James said slowly.
"You've been talking to your dad again," Kendall chuckled.
"It just sounds so cute doesn't it?" James asked.
"Maybe," Kendall replied with a small smile.
"You smiled I won!" James declared. Kendall chuckled and shook his head. James was a bit ridiculous at times.
The two arrived at the Palm Woods and headed inside. They saw Logan and Camille talking. Ever since Camille had announced her pregnancy as well, the two had been talking an awful lot. It was no secret that the baby might be Logan's. They hadn't confirmed it, but everyone knew, even Carlos.
"Hey guys," Logan said once he spotted them. He and Camille made their way over to the two.
"So is my little princess going to have a little girl or boy to play with?" Camille asked.
"Not here," James said pointing up towards the apartment. "Where's Carlos?"
"Upstairs playing video games I think," Logan replied.
"Great, let's go," James said.
"You too Camille," Kendall added. She smiled and they all headed up to 2J.
They entered the apartment. Carlos was indeed playing video games. He looked up at the four and paused his game. He grinned as he ran over.
"So Carlos or Carla," Carlos asked holding his hand out for the ultrasound picture.
"Neither," James said, "it's Jacob." He said holding out the picture.
Camille snatched it first. She awed at the picture before letting the other two see. "Aw, Kendall he's got your wavy lines!" she teased causing the two to laugh at her.
"These two are gonna be the bestest friends ever," James said quickly.
"Hopefully," Camille said with a smile.
"So have you and Steve picked out any names," James asked curiously.
"Well Steve was hoping for a boy and he's got his heart set on Damien. I however like the name Sophia after my mom," Camille said.
"That's so cute," James cooed.
"Steve and I are also thinking of moving. He wants to go to school and he's applying to UCLA," Camille said.
"Good for him, what does he want to do?" Logan asked.
"Pre-law," Camille replied.
"He wants to be a lawyer?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah, he's wants to set a good example for our daughter. He's got everything planned out, and doesn't want me to worry about anything. He's got it all under control," Camille explained.
"Good for him, I've been thinking of applying to school too. I still want to be a doctor," Logan said thoughtfully.
"Not bailing on us are you? Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean that Big Time Rush is over," James said.
"No, but I want to go back to school and maybe we could take a small break after Jacob is born. I mean you and Kendall aren't going to want to leave his side," Logan said logically. "I could take some classes and get my general ed classes out of the way."
"Yeah me too, I want to take some classes," Kendall said quickly.
"What? Does this mean you want the job?" James asked.
"What job?" Logan and Carlos asked in unison.
"Well Gustavo and I have been talking. He thinks I would make a good producer. He thinks I have a knack for it. It's a thought and I haven't made my final decision yet," Kendall said looking to James. "It's an option."
"Oh please it's all you've been talking about," James said.
"It's news to us," Carlos said quickly.
"I didn't want to say anything at first. I just need to figure some things out. I don't want to just leave you guys hanging," Kendall said quickly.
"It's fine Kendall, we know we can't be a band forever," Logan said.
"He's right," Camille said making herself known to the guys once more. "Most boy bands would have thrown in the towel by now. You guys have lasted longer than most people expected and that's a feat in itself. I mean come on you're not Backstreet. Those guys will be touring until their like eighty."
"I thought they already were," Kendall replied.
"Thanks Camille," Logan said looking to the curly haired girl. She just smiled in return.
-In the Beginning-
Kendall sighed as he followed James through the store. Jennifer had talked the two into baby shopping with her. She said she would be able to help them find everything they needed. Kendall didn't understand why they needed a million onsies and the most expensive crib that they could find. It didn't make sense to him.
"Oh my god, look at these," Katie said grabbing a pair of booties. James and Jennifer awed at them.
"No," Kendall said shaking his head, "unless you are buying them yourself," he told his sister.
"Boo, don't be such a party pooper," Katie said making a face at her older brother.
"Excuse me? Do you not see what we are getting already? I don't think we even need half of the stuff here," Kendall said pointing to the cart that the three had filled.
The three looked to the cart and then to Kendall, with sheepish smiles. James walked over to Kendall.
"Ok maybe it is a bit much, but don't you want to be prepared," James asked, "kids are a big responsibility and they spit up and poop a lot."
"Yeah, you'll be changing him so often," Jennifer said nodding her head.
"I know that, but I don't think we need three of the same thing, I don't care if its different sizes either," Kendall said.
"Maybe you're right," James said.
"We did get carried away," Katie said looking to some of the stuff.
"Can we just worry about necessities right now? Like diapers, bottle, and other care products," Kendall asked.
"Deal," James said, "can we get a few of these though?"
"A couple," Kendall replied. James smiled and hugged the blonde. Jennifer and Katie started to sort through everything with James. Kendall felt a little better about this shopping trip.
-In the Beginning-
Carlos bounced as he followed James into Rocque Records. They were going to meet with Gustavo and Kelly today. They were going to update them on the baby, and maybe talk about the future of the band.
"So are you excited?" Carlos asked.
"A little, I still can't believe that there's a little life growing inside me," James admitted.
"So where's Logan? I know Kendall got roped into a family thing," James asked.
"I don't know, he said he had something to do," Carlos shrugged.
"He's been acting a bit odd lately hasn't he," James said.
"Yeah, he's just thinking about the future and what he wants to do after the band. I mean he still wants to be a doctor," Carlos said.
"Well he's got the brains for it," James commented.
"Then you wanna be a model and Kendall's gonna be a producer," Carlos continued.
"Yeah, are you ok?" James asked slowly.
"I don't know what I wanna do with my life James," Carlos admitted. "I'm a mediocre singing at best. You and Kendall are the ones that carry us mostly. We all followed you here."
"Yeah, but you've got time to figure things out Carlos. We're still young," James said.
"What if I don't?" Carlos asked in a small voice.
"You will, it just takes time. I mean look at me I'm six months pregnant. Being a model is a long way away for me. I'm gonna have work super hard to get back into shape and then pray to God that I don't get stretch marks. I've been lucky so far," James explained.
"Yeah, I guess, it's still a scary thought," Carlos mumbled.
"You know what's a scary thought?" James asked. He paused making sure he had Carlos's attention. "In about three months time I will be a father and I will have this tiny baby that will depend on me for its every need, only it can't tell me what it needs so I have to figure it out on my own."
Carlos was speechless. James sighed. "I'm terrified Los, I don't know what to do. Besides my dream of becoming a model may never come true. It was pure dumb luck the Gustavo was in Minnesota that day, and even luckier that he wanted to sign Kendall so bad."
"I get, we've all got fears and doubt over the future," Carlos said quickly.
"You'll help me and Kendall with this kid right?" James asked.
"Of course, I'll be awesome uncle Carlos," Carlos said with a smile. "And Logan will be the one to keep the kid safe."
"Thanks," James chuckled.
-In the Beginning-
James groaned as he shifted in his seat. It seemed the further he got in his pregnancy, the more uncomfortable he became. Everything was uncomfortable too, not just sitting.
"You ok?" Kendall asked his boyfriend.
"I am eight months pregnant. I look like a whale and this kid won't stop moving, do I look ok to you?" James asked.
"I'm sorry, want me to rub your feet?" Kendall asked moving to sit on the ottoman in front of James. He grabbed his foot.
"Well...ok," James said smiling. Even though he was uncomfortable and crabby, he couldn't stay mad at the blonde.
"So, I've been talking with Gustavo and he agrees that we should take some time off once the baby is born," Kendall said.
"And by agree you mean your mom and Kelly forced him too," James asked knowingly.
"Something like that," Kendall chuckled. He continued to run James' feet.
"So my mom said she's gonna be here for three weeks. One before my due date and two after. She's excited to meet her grandson. My dad and wife number two will be here closer to my due date," James said.
"Great," Kendall said enthusiastically.
"You're a horrible faker," James said.
"I don't mind you're parents. It's just your mom is getting on my nerves with all this talk about us moving to Minnesota," Kendall sighed.
"I know, and we're not going to. We've made a name for ourselves and she's gotta respect that," James said
"She won't. She just wants you to come home still. She misses you," Kendall said.
"I know, but I'm an adult now. Besides it's not like we will never see her. We go home for most holidays, or she comes out here," James said.
"I know, but she's pushy and almost no one says no to Brooke Diamond. You know that," Kendall said quickly.
"I do," James said quickly.
"Good, because you know I can't. She's scary," Kendall said. James just laughed at that.
"I don't get why everybody say that. She's not that scary," James sighed.
"To you she's not too scary, she's your mom and she babies you," Kendall shot back.
"She does not," James said quickly.
"Oh please you are her only child. She takes any chance she get to buy stuff for you or come visits you," Kendall said, "She will do anything for you and you don't even need to ask."
"Ok maybe a little bit, but like you said I'm her only child," James said.
-In the Beginning-
Carlos wandered out to the pool. He was looking for Logan, but he could not find him. Logan had been acting so strange lately. Ever since Camille announced her pregnancy, he had become a bit jumpy. Carlos knew why too.
There was a chance that, the baby might be his. Logan would never say it out loud though. He was probably terrified. Carlos wasn't mad though. He knew Logan and Camille had and on-again off-again type relationship. When Logan finally ended it for good Carlos had been so happy. It took Logan a couple weeks to finally muster up the courage to ask him out, with a little help from Kendall.
A few weeks after that Camille announced that she was pregnant. She was a few weeks further along than James. That had been a red flag for all the guys, but she assured them that Steve was the father, not that any of them bought it.
Carlos sighed as he looked around the pool. He spotted the Jennifer's sitting together, minus one. That was odd. They were never apart unless one of them was shooting a movie or something.
Carlos made his way over to the pair. He greeted them with a smile. They both greeted Carlos.
"Where's the other Jennifer?" Carlos asked.
"She's off with her new "boyfriend," if you can even call him that," Curly haired Jennifer said.
"Yeah, he's some business man that swept her off her feet," blonde Jennifer said.
"Oh, you don't sound happy, shouldn't you be happy that your friend is happy?" Carlos asked confused.
"We tried, but he's scum. He's a low life," blonde Jennifer said shaking her head.
"She'll be knocked up and alone within a year, trust me," curly haired Jennifer said.
"Wow a bit harsh?" Carlos said.
"If you met him you'd understand. He's older and he's already got a kid," blonde Jennifer said.
"He just seems shady," curly haired Jennifer added.
"Well let's hope she's smart enough to realize it before things get out of hand," Carlos said.
"So enough about us, we heard about James, so boy or girl," blonde Jennifer asked.
"Boy, Jacob," Carlos said causing both girls to aw.
"So does that make you like an uncle then?" Curly haired Jennifer asked.
"Yeah, I'm gonna be the fun uncle too. Logan can kind of be a stick in the mud sometimes. It's ok though, I'm fun enough for the both of us," Carlos said quickly.
"You are adorable," blonde Jennifer cooed.
"You gonna have a kid?" Curly haired Jennifer asked.
"Eventually," Carlos shrugged. "I mean Logan and I haven't been together that long. I would like to be married before I have a kid."
"Me too," curly haired Jennifer agreed.
"I don't want kids. They're loud and messy. They just complicate things," Blonde Jennifer said shaking her head.
-In the Beginning-
Logan sighed as he listened to Camille go on and on about the baby. She was so happy right now. She didn't notice the uncomfortable silence between the two men she was with.
"Mille," Steve said getting her attention.
"Hm?"
"What exactly are we gonna do about our...um...current situation?" Logan asked.
"Look I honestly don't care. My Sophia is on her way. As far as I am concerned Steve is her father and he's gonna help me raise her right?" She asked looking to Steve.
"Of course Camille, I'd never leave you," Steve replied quickly with a smile.
"Yes but, I don't want this kids coming out and looking like me and people assuming I just left you with a kid. If I messed up I wanna take responsibility for my mistake," Logan said.
"After she's born we can do a paternity test on Steve. That way you're not involved and no one has to know it might be you. It'll be discreet and we don't even have to tell anyone," Camille said. "No matter the results, this kid is going to be loved."
"Ok what are we gonna do if, by chance I'm not the biological father? What will Carlos do? He will probably be mad that you didn't tell him sooner," Steve said.
"You let me deal with that. I'm sure he already suspects anyways. I know Kendall and James know," Logan sighed.
"We will cross that bridge when we get there. Lots of families are split and I would never keep her from you if she's your daughter Logan," Camille said.
"I don't know if I'm ready to be a parent though," Logan said.
"Is anyone ever really ready?" Camille asked.
"We don't even know for sure yet, let's just wait," Steve said.
"Yes let's not get ahead of ourselves," Camille agreed.
Logan nodded his head. He wanted to stop worrying, but part of him knew that there was a chance he could be the father to Camille's baby. Logan wasn't ready for that. He didn't want a kid right now. He had so many plans for the future. He wanted to go to school and become a doctor. Carlos wanted to start a career in Hollywood. They had so much they still wanted to do before they settled down.
-In the Beginning-
The guys all practically ran down the hallway. Steve had called and said Camille was in labor. They were all excited to meet the little bundle of joy. They reached the OB ward. They saw Steve standing by the nursery with a smile on his face.
"So where is she?" Carlos asked eagerly.
"He's right there," Steve said pouting to the only blue bundle in the nursery.
"He?" Logan asked.
"Yeah, he's a boy," Steve chuckled. His eyes never leaving the baby. "Camille's a little upset that all the dresses she bought were for nothing, but we're just glad he's healthy."
"So I take it you're not naming him Sophia?" James asked.
"No, it's Damien," Steve said
"Where's Camille? How's she doing?" Kendall asked.
"In her room resting. Giving birth takes a lot out of a person," Steve said. "I'm exhausted from just being there."
"That's it I'm done," James said quickly.
"It's a bit too late for that," Kendall chuckled. James just sighed and looked down at his stomach.
"This is all your fault," James said turning to glare at the blonde. "I used to have abs. Do you know how hard it's gonna be to get them back."
"I'm sorry," Kendall said simply.
"You make it so hard to be mad at you sometimes," James sighed.
"Love you too," Kendall replied.
The guys all looked around and saw Steve sitting in a chair. He had a small smile on his face.
"How's it feel to be a dad?" Kendall asked.
"Right now, it's still sinking in. It's hard to believe that he's finally here," Steve said. "It's still so surreal."
"Where is she?"
Steve sat up straighter. A woman, who looked almost exactly like Camille came running in. She spotted Steve and ran over.
"Where's my daughter and my granddaughter," she asked.
"Hi Sophie nice to see you too. Camille and resting, and your grandson is right here," Steve said jumping up and moving to the nursery window.
"Grandson?" Sophie asked.
"Yeah, turns out she was a he, so meet Damien," Steve said pointing to his son with a big smile.
"Oh he's so cute," Sophie said. "I already love him more than anything in the world."
"Me too," Steve replied.
-In the Beginning-
Logan was sitting with Camille and Damien. Steve was busy getting their new apartment ready. Logan wanted to visit Camille. He needed to talk to her.
"God he's adorable isn't he?" Camille asked looking down at her son.
"Yeah, he's cute," Logan agreed.
"I'm a little disappointed I didn't get my Sophie, but there is always next time," Camille said.
"You want another already?" Logan asked shocked.
"Not right away, I mean in a few years, but yeah I'd like at least two kids," Camille said.
"I don't know if I could handle a kid, at least right now," Logan admitted.
"Really? So you're hoping you're off the hook?" Camille asked.
"Am I?" Logan asked. He wanted to know. It was killing him not knowing if he was a dad or not.
Camille seemed to be stalling. Logan wasn't sure if it was a good sign or not. Then again, maybe she just wanted to wait for Steve.
The door opened and Steve walked into the room. He looked to Logan and Camille with a small smile.
"Sorry I'm late, I've been busy getting everything ready in the new apartment. We should be all set to move in tomorrow," Steve said smiling at Camille.
"It's ok, Logan and I were waiting for you," Camille said with a smile.
"So what's the word?" Steve asked.
"Saunders," Camille replied.
"Really?" Steve asked.
"Oh thank god," Logan breathed. "I mean...yeah."
"It's ok Logan, it's a weight off your shoulders," Camille giggled.
Logan nodded his head. She was right. It was a weight of his shoulders. Steve looked relieved too. Logan knew deep down that Steve wanted this kid to be his. He put on a smile most of the time and had Camille fooled that he was happy either way, but he wasn't.
-In the Beginning-
Kendall held James hand as another contraction hit. James had gone into labor the night before. It was slow going at first. The doctors wanted to keep him overnight, incase anything changed.
Now however the contractions were getting closer together. Kendall was here for James every step of the way, no matter how much it annoyed Brooke.
People were coming and going all day. Most of the family, Logan and Carlos included, were camped out in the waiting room. They were all awaited news. They would come and visit with the couple too.
Logan and Carlos were in the room at the moment. Brooke was beside her son as well. She hadn't left his side much. They were all waiting for James' doctor to check and see if James was ready to push.
"Why does this have to take so long!" James whined.
"I don't know Jamie, just remember, take deep breaths," Kendall said.
"You're not helping," James snapped.
"Sorry," Kendall apologized.
Eventually the doctor arrived. Carlos and Logan left. Kendall left with them telling James he was going to go let everybody know what was up.
Kendall made his way to the waiting room with his friends. The truth was, he was nervous. He was about to become a dad. It was a scary thought. He had seen what Steve and Camille were going through. They both claimed to be ok with it. Kendall hoped he would be too.
Everyone had a million questions. Kendall answers them the best he could, but he had to get back to James. Kendall left the waiting room and ran into Brooke.
"It's time," she said.
"Really?" Kendall asked shocked. Suddenly everything felt like it was moving fast.
"Yeah," Brooke said. She turned and left. Kendall followed her.
As they neared James room, Brooke stopped. Kendall almost ran into her. He gave her a confused look as she turned to him.
"Is something wrong?" Kendall asked.
"No, it's just I wanted to apologize to you for treating you the way I have been these last few months," Brooke said.
Kendall was shocked. Brooke never apologized to anyone. The only one she was ever kind to was James.
"It's ok," Kendall said slowly. Now wasn't really the time for this. James was waiting for them.
"No it's not, I was awful and it's because I don't want to see James grown up and not needing me anymore," Brooke said. "I used to be the only one who made him smile so bright the stars seemed dim. Now you do it too...and I'm loosing my baby."
"You're not loosing him," Kendall assured her.
"I am, he's becoming a man now, and with you by his side I'll know he's taken care of and has someone to support him and my grandson," Brooke said with a small smile. "I think you will make a great son in law one day."
Then she didn't a very un-Brooke like thing and hugged Kendall. He awkwardly hugged her back. This was a big step for them. Kendall had a little more respect for the older woman now.
The two quickly entered James room. There was his doctor and two nurses there already. Kendall smiled and joined James by his side and Brooke stood back a moment.
Kendall took James' hand in his. He smiled and gave him encouraging words as James said he couldn't do it. Kendall looked to Brooke for help. She smiled and walked over to James's other side.
"James, sweetie you can do this," Brooke said soothingly, in a way only a mother could. "Kendall and I are gonna be right here beside you."
"Ok," James said wide eyed. He was still scared, but at the same time he knew he could do it.
"Ok James on your next contraction I want you to start pushing," his doctor instructed. James just nodded his head. Brooke took his other hand.
Almost an hour later, Jacob Elijah Knight was born. He had dark hair and his eyes were dark brownish green. The doctor said his eyes might change color over the next few months it was nothing to be worried about.
Once Jacob was weighed and measured and cleaned up. They brought the back baby to James. James cradled him close with a big smile on his face despite how tired he was.
"Hi Jake," he said softly. He glanced up at Kendall for a moment. "He's so adorable."
"He looks just like you," Kendall replied as he sat on the edge of the bed next to James. He placed an arm round him and looked down at his son.
The two sat there in silence. This was it, they were officially parents now there was no going back. Jake was here to stay. They had to learn to take care of him.
"Aw, you guys look so adorable."
The pair looked up as Katie and Jennifer walked into the room, with Brooke behind them, Kendall smiled at them.
"Go ahead, I'm tired anyways," James said handing Jake over to Kendall.
Kendall pressed a kiss to James' forehead. "Get some rest. We will be here."
Kendall walked over to his mother and sister. Brooke stood back a bit. She had seen Jake already, it was Jennifer and Katie's turn to meet him.
"He's so tiny," Katie cooed.
"I know," Kendall said looking down at his son. It was still hard to believe that he was here.
"May I?" Jennifer asked. Kendall smiled and nodded his head. He carefully handed his son over to his mother.
"He's just so precious," Brooke said taking a step up to Jennifer. The pair started cooing over their grandson.
Kendall looked over to James. He saw that he had fallen asleep already. He had done enough. He deserved to rest.
Once Katie and Brooke held Jake they decided to leave. Jennifer said that Everyone else would be back in the morning to see the baby. Kendall nodded his head. He was a bit surprised that Carlos and Logan hadn't barged in yet.
As Kendall was getting Jake settled there was a knock at the door. Kendall turned around and came face to face with his friends.
"We were waiting until your moms were done," Logan said.
"How thoughtful," Kendall replied. He walked over to the pair and passed Jake over to Logan.
"Wow," Carlos said looking down at the baby.
"He looks just like James," Logan said.
"I know," Kendall said with a big smile.
"How are you feeling though?" Logan asked as Carlos managed to steal the baby from him.
"I think you're supposed to ask me that."
The guys all turned to James. He was looking at them sleepily.
"We didn't mean to wake you," Kendall said quickly.
"Sorry," Logan said.
"It's ok," James said sleepily.
"Ok we met Jake, we will get out of your hair. We will be back tomorrow," Logan said looking to Carlos.
"Yeah, I'm sure Kelly and Gustavo will stop by too," Carlos said quickly.
"Alright guys," Kendall said taking his son back. The guys said their goodbyes.
Soon Kendall and James were alone with Jake. Kendall walked over to James. He simply held his arms out to Kendall. Kendall smiled and handed Jake over once more.
"We made a cute baby," James said grinning as he looked up to Kendall. "I was just hoping he'd look more like you."
"There's always next time," Kendall winked.
"Not for a while. You are not touching me at all for like a year...or ten," James said quickly. Kendall laughed and shook his head.
"No one is ever gonna be good enough for you," James said looking down at his son.
"Dating already? The kid was just born," Kendall laughed.
"I know, but It's true. No one will ever be good enough for my boy," James said hugging the infant close.
"I agree, he's not gonna date until he's like thirty," Kendall said.
"Strict," James chuckled.
"Ok twenty five and not a day sooner," Kendall conceded.
"What are we gonna do?" James asked.
"Teach him the best we can and pray to god he listens to us. That's all we an do," Kendall sighed, "but for now let's enjoy the little stuff. Like I said he was just born. Let's cherish the time we have with him right now. Cause lord knows one day he won't want to be around us."
"Never! He will always want to be with us," James gasped.
"Sure thing James," Kendall replied.
"Let's not worry about that just yet. Right now lets just live in the moment," James said.
-In the Beginning-
James smiled at he looked down at his son. He was going home today. They had been in the hospital for three days now. James was ready to go home and start his life as a father.
Jake was anxious too. He just seemed to know something was going on. He was squirming in his car seat. He was wearing a tiny red polo and tiny jeans. James was pleased with the outfit. It looked so cute.
"This is it, once we leave here we will be on our own," Kendall said making himself known to James.
"I know," James said looking down to Jake. "I'm kind of scared."
"We got this," Kendall said walking up behind his boyfriend. He place his arms around him.
"Are you sure? Cause I don't think I know how to be a parent. What if we mess the kid up?" James asked.
"We won't," Kendall assured the brunette, hugging him a little tighter.
"How do you know?" James asked.
"Because he's got you and me for dads. This kid is gonna be awesome at sports and maybe even be a singer," Kendall replied.
"We can only hope," James said.
There was a knock at the door. It opened and Carlos and Logan entered the room.
"It's a mad house out there," Logan said.
"Crazy, they're all waiting for you guys," Carlos said walking over to Jake. "Especially you," he said in a baby voice.
"This should be fun," Kendall sighed.
"Don't worry, we go this we will keep the vultures at bay," Carlos said quickly.
"Yeah, besides we not taking a main exit. Your mom and sister are waiting in the parking garage with our car and your mom's car is out front," Logan said.
"I love you guys," Kendall chuckled.
"Your welcome," Carlos replied.
"Last time I texted Katie she said we were all clear," Logan added.
"Awesome, I don't want to deal with that mad house," James said.
A nurse entered with some discharge papers for James and Jake. Once they we're all filled out and returned, Kendall and James were ready to go.
"You ready dad?" James asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be, papa," Kendall replied with a grin. James smiled in return.
The next eighteen years, were going to be a challenge. James knew that being a parent wasn't going to be easy, but he knew with Kendall by his side, he could do it. They were as ready as they could be.
So there you go. A nice start to this little side fic. It's going to be roughly five chapters. Are Kendall and James ready to be dads? Can they handle a newborn? Are Steve and Camille able to handle a newborn as well? Will Carlos figure out what he wants to do with his life? Is Jennifer's new boyfriend bad news? Will Jake and Damien become best friends? I think we know the answer to that one already.
As always more to come, and I will see you next time.
Always
