Hi guys, so I've had this idea for a little while! I hope you like it. I haven't written anything quite like this before, including mpreg so we'll see how it goes. Please let me know if you do like it! Thank you! :) ~ hereiamdestroya
"You know your curfew is now ten because you broke it last week" Kendall Diamond tells the eighteen year old girl who stands before him in the kitchen. Her dirty blonde hair is long, hanging down to her waist, the electric blue strips showing, but her hazel brown eyes, exact replicas of her father's, are staring intently at him. She watches him as he continues to chop vegetables, preparing dinner.
"That's totally unfair" The girl replies, folding her arms across her. "And I'm eighteen, dad. You can't control me anymore you know".
Kendall sighs, his expression frustrated. Ever since Kendra had hit her teens, she had been hard to handle. With the rebellious attitude of himself and the temper of James' he shouldn't really be surprised. He was similar at her age. And now at eighteen, and about to head to college in the autumn she did have a point. She wouldn't be their little baby girl for much longer.
"Kendra. You know the rules – you break one, you pay the consequence. You're lucky you're not grounded" He tells her. He knows he can be strict sometimes and that's why he and his daughter clash so much. James tells them they are too much alike.
It had been a surprise when Kendall found out he was pregnant with Kendra. They were eighteen and Big Time Rush had just finished and after many arguments, Kendall and James had moved out of the Palmwoods building, searching for a new place. Kendall's mum and Katie had moved back to Minnesota, leaving Logan and Carlos to start afresh on their own in the crazy city they had all fallen in love with. Neither James nor Kendall had seen their ex best friends since the day they moved out. It was complex but they totally lost contact.
Before she can retaliate, James enters the room following their two young sons, twins – Levi and Max. The eight year olds run behind him, smiles on their faces, still dressed in their hockey jerseys, coming straight from practice.
"Hey guys" Kendall smiles at his boys and they say hi back. They are the spitting image of James, but their locks of hair match Kendall's shade.
"What's going on?" James asks, starting to make a cup of coffee.
"Dad's being completely unreasonable again!" Kendra exclaims. "You always let Eddie do exactly what he wants! And he's not even eighteen. But no, when it comes to me, you're way strict."
The blonde girls storms across the open hall to the front door and swings it open to reveal Eddie, the sixteen year old boy who carries a guitar case on his back. She rushes straight past him, pushes him inside the house and slams the door shut.
"Jheeze, what is up with Kendra lately?" Eddie sighs, looking back at the door before putting his guitar and rucksacks down and joining the rest of them.
"She's…" Kendall doesn't know – stubborn? Yeah. Being a bitch? Yeah. But does he still love her? Of course.
"Seems it's your dad's fault this time" James smirks. They often make a joke of Kendra's tantrums when she's not there simply because they didn't know how to deal with it. James knew it must be hard for her though, living in a house full of boys. He understood more than Kendall seemed to.
Kendall just shakes his head and continues cooking the dinner. "Boys, why don't you go get changed and do your homework before dinner's ready?"
"Daddy I want to cook with you!" Levi caws up at Kendall, big wide brown eyes staring up at him. Usually Kendall can't resist his son's charms but tonight he just can't be dealing with it.
"Not tonight Levi. I tell you what, if you go get changed and get all your homework done, tomorrow we can make brownies?"
Both boys' faces light up at that and they slowly assemble themselves and head out of the room, before Levi asks "Do you promise?"
"I promise. Now go on!" He shoos them away with a laugh and they run upstairs. You can hear them racing each other to their room.
"How was your day?" James asks his eldest son. The boy has the darkest hair colour out of all of their children, much closer to his own brown than Kendall's blonde but he has his dad's green eyes. James looks over at him as he idly grabs an orange juice from the fridge and sits down at the island counter. He looks so much older recently. Even at sixteen he stands as tall as Kendall and his new slick black glasses make him seem older too.
"It was good thanks. Managed to get all my history papers finished and handed in and got my report back on my music performance…" He smiles and so does his dads.
"And how did you do?" Kendall smirks, knowing the answer already. Eddie was the smartest kid they knew, and James and Kendall couldn't be any more proud of him for it. Straight As ever since he started high school, they knew how intelligent their son was, even if he didn't. Modesty was another thing the boy was good at. And they were proud he loved music so much, always happy that he was following in their footsteps.
The Diamond husbands had told their children they were in a boyband many years ago that were doing pretty alright for themselves, but the kids didn't know quite the extent of it, especially as eighteen years later, they were both in more normal jobs that didn't cause them much attention. Kendall had graduated from Art school when Kendra was five and after a lot of hard work, two years later, was opening his own tattoo parlour in Hollywood which he ran full time. And James had started a modelling agency with their old friend Camille, MODELA, their base being in the city too.
Eddie smiles coyly "A*".
"Congratulations! Though it's no surprise" Kendall laughs. "You are our son, after all!"
"It's just ridiculous, you know. They're not as strict with any of my brothers" Kendra explains to the most attractive boy in the entire restaurant that sits opposite her. Sonny Mitchell has the most lovely skin tone – being half Latino, he is tanned and he has these incredible brown hazel eyes that Kendra tends to get lost in.
To stop her, he leans across the table and presses his soft lips to hers. She's stunned a little by the surprise but returns the pressure and when he pulls away, she looks at him smile shyly.
"What was that for?" She smiles at her boyfriend. They'd been only been dating for two months, after having met in tech class at school, being assigned each other as woodwork partners. But Kendra was completely infatuated with him, and if she could read Sonny's thoughts, she'd realise that he felt the same way about her.
"I just wanting to kiss you" he smiles. "Don't worry about your dads. But I do understand…You're their little girl you know; I guess they want to protect you." Sonny offers as an explanation.
"I'm sorry; I've been going on about it all night. I'll shut up now" She laughs.
"You don't have to. I'm more than willing to listen…but it upsets you and I'd rather spend the night giving you a good time." He speaks honestly, finishing off his main course. "And if you've got to be home by ten, that only gives us roughly two hours…We should do something fun" He grins.
Sonny's enthusiasm is one of the things Kendra truly loves about him. He's so passionate about everything he loves, including his desire to be the best doctor on the West Coast, following his dad's career.
"Something fun?" Kendra smiles, looking over him. His dark brown hair is getting a little long, falling into his eyes and even now as she watches, he pushes it to the side nonchalantly. He's always at ease when he's with Kendra. She makes him feel calm. And feeling calm is something Sonny doesn't take for granted, not living in a house with his sisters and brother and his eccentric fathers.
"I've got a few ideas."
After dinner, the Diamonds all lounge in the living room, snacking on sweet cakes and talking. This was the time when Kendall truly appreciated his family – when the house wasn't bedlam (which it often was) it was so peaceful and nice just to sit with his family. And even though Kendra missing family time was becoming a more regular occurrence, it didn't stop him wishing she was there with them.
The twins, sitting on the floor, race each other on the latest Xbox game Eddie bought them while the elder three sit on the sofas.
"Has Kendra talked to you recently at all, Ed? About anything?" Kendall asks his son who strums lightly on his acoustic.
"Are you joking?" The boy asks. Eddie had been quite close with his sister when they were younger but she was a little distant now, and although they sometimes talked at home, at school it was a different story. They didn't have much contact at all but he'd often see her around, usually hanging out with a big group or with Sonny Mitchell, the nice guy who'd once helped freshman at the time Eddie with finding books in the library. He was pretty sure the two were dating, not that Kendra would have told him anyway. "She rarely talks to me at all to be honest…She has been weirder lately though."
Kendall sighed, but there wasn't much he could do about it. They'd all kind of accepted that Kendra was just being a bit difficult but that she probably wouldn't be like it forever.
"I'm going to go to my room…I've got a fair amount of homework to do" Eddie tells his dads and they nod and tell him not to stay up too late. He hugs them both goodnight and wanders up the grand staircase.
When James looks at his husband, Kendall motions him to come and join him on the sofa and he complies, wrapping his arms around the blonde. The warmth was radiating off of him like he was the sun. They watched the twins play for a good hour or so, finding comfort in the silence between them, like they often did.
"Boys, it's nearly ten o'clock. Time for bed!" Kendall announces to the young boys who are still playing, eyes glued to the screen.
"One more game, Dad! Please!" Max cries, but once Kendall frees James of their embrace, the brunette stands up and easily picks up both of their boys, despite their pleads.
"You heard your dad." James says as he carries them up the stairs.
Maybe Kendra was in trouble? Kendall mulled over ideas in his head but nothing seemed logical to him. She knew that if she were in any sort of trouble she could come to her fathers. He hoped she knew that, that that was how their household was – open and loving and that they would do anything for each other.
"Did the boys get to sleep okay?" Kendall asks as his husband re-joins him on the sofa, kissing him.
"Yeah, out like a light." The brunette tells him. "How was work?"
"Great, yeah, did about four tats today. All clients were very happy." Kendall smiles, always taking pride in his work, whatever he does.
"Well, of course. You're very satisfying" James smirks, wondering whether Kendall can hear the sultriness in the tone of his voice. Even after all these years, the blond still turns him on like nothing and nobody else. The eyes, the slim tall body. All of him.
"You bet I am." Kendall does notice and decides to pay his lover some attention. The twins are fast asleep and they know Eddie always works with earphones on, his music so loud that he can't hear anything else. The blond kisses James' neck, latching on to his most pressured point that literally makes him weak at the knees.
James' breathing gets a little heavier when Kendall palms the taller man's crotch, the material not enough to cover the growing hardness. Kendall loved the fact that just a kiss and a touch could still make James catch his breath.
Just as Kendall goes to undo James' jeans the front door opens and they jump apart, still on the sofa, composing themselves to see Kendra walk straight past them and head to the stairs.
"You're really doing that with the boys upstairs?" She says.
"Ken, have you got a second?" James asks, cheeks flushed at her comment. The girl swings around and comes a little closer.
"What do you want?"
"Are you okay? We know you've been acting a little differently lately…" The brunette asks his daughter, worried about her answer a little less than Kendall is.
The blonde girl sighs, but looks up at her dads. "I'm fine, honestly…I'm sorry for earlier, but I am getting older and you guys are going to have to get used to it because I'm never getting any younger…I can't not be an adult now."
"We understand that hunny…" Kendall starts. "We're trying to at least. But you know you can come to us, either of us, if you're ever in trouble or just need some advice…we love you."
"I love you guys too…and thanks, I know. I'm going to bed. Night dads." Kendra turns before they can ask her where she's been and who with. She hasn't told them anything about Sonny at all yet. She doesn't want them knowing what she's getting up to.
"Well, that went okay." James smiles at his husband who just nods in agreement before kissing his husband and taking his hand.
As soon as Sonny parks his car in the garage, he gets out his phone and texts her. The only girl he's ever really fallen for. He can't deny it. He is absolutely besotted with her. Her eyes are the warmest shade of brown and when she talks to him, it's like he is the only person that matters, the only person whose opinion she cares about. He always liked her tough girl exterior but it was the beautiful compassionate and sweet person she was inside that made him really fall for her.
Sweet dreams. I love you. – S xxxx
He keeps it short and simple because if he really had to start talking about how in love he was with her, he'd never be able to stop.
You too. I love you more. – K xxxx
Sonny still has a huge grin plastered to his face when he gets inside, his two dads dancing around the living room with his four year old sister Ariella whilst his fifteen year old brother Theo and thirteen year old sister Elora are making pancakes.
"Sonny!" His papa Carlos smiles and comes over to his eldest son, clasping his shoulder warmly. "And where have you been tonight? On a date?" He winks and Sonny just laughs it off.
"Why is everyone still awake? Especially Ariella?" Sonny asks with a laugh, looking over at his dad who is now holding the little girl in his arms.
"The night is young!" Carlos laughs. "Tell me what they're like then! Come on, give us the details" He pulls his son over to sit down on the sofa with him.
"Papa, I wasn't on a date" Sonny says, avoiding answering. It wasn't like he didn't want to tell his dads about Kendra, he did, but to be honest, he was worried it would be too much for her. His family was loud and busy and so was hers and he's completely besotted with her but he doesn't want to scare her off, not yet. "And I'm going to bed!"
Sonny stands up and heads to the staircase.
"Come on, just tell us their name!" Logan laughs.
Ok, he'll give in. Just her name. It's not like they're going to know who she is. There are hundreds of people in LA.
"Ugh. Fine!" Sonny starts. "Kendra Diamond" and with that, he heads off to his room, not seeing the look of absolute shock shared between his dad and papa at the sound of that surname. It's been a long time since they'd heard it. Eighteen years to be exact.
Wasn't quite sure how to end it but yeah, thanks! Please R&R :)
