Chapter One of Diamond Ups...


Two years later...(beginning of 2019)

Just the beginning

I am very content having a body up against mine. His head tucked into my neck like it was meant to be. I heard the door squeak open, little feet slapping against the floors. Hushed voices talking.

"Tay wat you doin'?" A little high pitched voice said. A huff was heard.

"Tenny you be zuiet. Mama Papa zeepin." I held back my chuckle as I heard the door close. I heard the floor creak in three different places.

"Tay wat we get twouble?" I could see the eye roll.

"Key we wonna. Member Mama pway pwankz." I had to give him that. Kendall had always told them stories about him playing pranks. He actually wants them to learn how to but I kind of don't. I heard a sigh.

"Key fiwst time Papa hewe to pway on." I heard a giggle and a groan.

"Fine! We in twouble I's pleadin thiwd." Next thing I knew they all pounced on us screaming.

"PAPA! MAMA!" Kendall smirked into my chest. I groaned opening my eyes, I saw two pairs of green eyes and a pair of hazel staring at me confused.

"Why no scweam?" Jenny asked looking at me. I shrugged.

"Maybe next time you should be quiet and not talk when you try it." I said tapping their noses. Jarrid and Jennifer snap their heads to Kian who looks so innocent sitting on Kendall's legs. He looks over with a small tilt of the head.

"Wat?" They shook their heads.

"You doezn tell dey heaw uz?" He shrugged.

"Didn't tink impownt." I sighed looking at all three of them. I felt Kendall start to move slowly and carefully but it didn't matter because they were in their own little world. Kendall slowly picked up the comforter.

"MAMA'S GOT YOU!" He screamed wrapping the comforter around all three of them. They all screamed. Kendall rocked them back and forth for a couple seconds before laying them back on the bed. Kian grinned crawling up into his lap. Kendall smiled and rubbed his head.

"How?" Jarrid asked. Kendall smirked and went close to his face.

"Masters never tell their secrets." Jenny and Jarrid looked awestruck but Kian pulled Kendall's face close to his.

"Mama, fought tat onlw mugians(Magicians)?" Kendall shook his head kissing his cheek.

"It is but it goes for pranks too." He nodded and let his face go. Kian is one of the smartest little boys I know but he is just so gosh darn shy. I pointed at all three of them.

"Okay, now since all of us are up. Why did you wake us up?" Jenny grinned and threw herself at me.

"You says go to new houze today." I nodded. That's right we have to move into the house that's down the street. Katie and Carlos moved out right after their wedding to have privacy, it was actually a present from Papi because it was his old house. We've been staying at mom's still because we have to find a house big enough for us and the kids plus more room if we want to have anymore or people over. We finally found one that mom said she'll help us until we get better jobs.

"Oh yeah. Jenny you are so smart, but we still have to paint all of your guys rooms before we can move in. I think Uncle Loges, Uncle Tan-tan and Uncle Los are gonna help us with it." They nodded. They love their uncles.

"We pick colow?" Kian asked quietly. I nodded.

"Yep but you and Jarrid have to agree on it." He nodded nuzzling into Kendall's neck.

"Can go? I wanna see!" Jarrid yelled. I chuckled because he's just so... Kendall hyper.

"Yeah go to your room and wait til Mama and I get in there because I think Grammie and Grandpapi gave you breakfast already am I right?" They nodded and ran to their room. I looked over to see Kendall shaking his head.

"I was hoping you got to sleep in Handsome." I shrugged and pulled him into a kiss. He smiled and pulled me closer.

"EWWW!" Kendall turned with a smile on his face seeing Jarrid standing there.

"What's eww about Mama and Papa kissing?" He scrunched up his nose.

"Wooks wewid." Kendall rolled his eyes.

"Well, I love your Papa. Now why aren't you in your room waiting?" He sighed.

"Jenny wanna weaw tutu." I chuckled jumping out of bed and scooping him up turning him upside down.

"How were you the one sent in here to give us the message?" He shrugged hugging my waist.

"She wooked wike a puppy!" I heard a cackle from behind me.

"Oh and what kind of puppy?" He grinned.

"Wike Yorkie." I can't believe he can say Yorkie right but everything else is out of whack.

"How did she look like a Yorkie?" He pulled himself right side up tugging on my wife beater. He mimics the eyes to Kendall.

"See tat. Den she a giwl. Yorkies awe giwly." I dropped him on his bed. They had cribs til they were one in a half but then they discovered you could climb out of them. We took off the front and left the rest.

"James we have to remember to get toddler beds for them. They'll need them at the new house." I nodded as I watched him pull out clothes for the kids.

"Jay, Key you want to match or not?" They looked at each other and shook their heads.

"No!" Kendall laughed pulling out two different types of outfits. He tossed me the outfits as he picked Jenny up.

"Now I heard you wanted a tutu? Why don't you pick yours out." I heard a huff come from my left side. I turned to see chocolate brown hair over deep forest green eyes.

"What's wrong?" He pouted and pointed at Jenny.

"I wanna pick cohez." I sighed.

"How about tomorrow you do?" He shook his head stomping his foot.

"No!" I rolled my eyes. Yeah terrible two's. I looked to see Kian pulling his shirt off and getting stuck. I turned back to Jarrid.

"Fine if you want to act like that then you can sit here. I am going to go help your brother." He sat there and sulked as I pulled Kian's head out of his night shirt. He blushed looking down.

"Fanks Papa." I grinned and threw his shirt over his head. I helped him with the rest of his clothes as Kendall help Jenny. I rubbed his head pointing to the bathroom.

"Teeth." He nodded running off. I moved to Jarrid who was still pouting. I pulled up his bangs looking at him.

"Are you ready to be nice and not stubborn?" He nodded his head. I smiled and kissed his cheek. I helped him dress and I shooed him out to brush his teeth. Kendall grabbed my hand pulling us to our bedroom.

"I just noticed that we have to get their haircut. They are starting to look like you when you were ten." I chuckled slipping off my pjs.

"Well, they haven't had it cut since they turned two." He shook his head.

"You know I feel bad that you have to do work on your vacation." I scoffed pulling on my shirt.

"I don't mind." He turned slipping that raggy old beanie on his head. He walked into the bathroom to see all three of them brushing their teeth getting water all over the place.

"Demons. What are we going to do with them?" I rolled my eyes grabbing a comb from the dresser.

"They aren't in you anymore. No need to call our angels demons." I said combing down the nest I call Kian's hair. He started whining.

"Papa, stop! I no need tat." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah you do Key. It looks like a bird can sleep in it." He huffed crossing his arms. I see a Kendall attitude coming out. I patted his butt.

"Now go out there to Mama so he can put your coat and things on." He ran off while I dealt with Jenny's hair.

"Angel how do you want your hair?" She shrugged staring at me threw the mirror.

"Donna know." Of course. I just put her chocolate brown hair in pink-tails. I walked over to Jarrid who looked excited.

"Papa I do?" I nodded handing him the comb. He did his hair carefully with his little hands. It was probably the cutest sight I have ever seen.

"Alright enough being Papa and get your butt in here before your brother and sister die of heat stroke." He smiled handing me the comb skipping out the door. I laughed shaking my head and fixing my hair.

"DIAMOND THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO!" I frowned and walked out to see Kendall handing me my jacket.

"We have to go to the store to get the beds and then let them pick out what they want to decorate their rooms. Plus we have to get the paint and meet everyone at our place in two hours and you know what Jenny's like." I nodded and threw both Kian and Jarrid over my shoulders.

"Well, lets get going. Tank, Jessie watch out!" I ran down the stairs.

"Papa wewid." I heard Jenny say.

"Oh Jenny-bug you have no idea."


Kendall's POV

We pulled up to the store. Now is the hard part of going to the store with three two year olds. I turned in my seat to see three excited faces.

"Now, you know what Papa and I expect from you. No running off, no tantrums and no fighting. Papa will carry one and I will carry one. The one who doesn't get carried has to hold one of our hands until we get into the store. At the next place we will change it up. Okay?" They all nodded. James parked the car. We both get out and help them get their buckles off.

"Papa will take Jarrid and I will have Kian while Jenny walks." They nodded hoping into our arms. James looked down at Jenny and picked her up too. I rolled my eyes looking down at Kian who did the same thing. Once in the store we went to the toddler beds.

"Now you guys can pick your beds but make sure you don't run off." We placed them on the ground while they went searching for their beds.

"Who's gonna pick what?" James asked. I shrugged.

"Not sure. Jenny won't pick pink though." He nodded as a hand grabbed mine yanking me to a yellow Pokemon bed. I looked down to see Kian smiling.

"You want the yellow Pokemon bed?" He nodded hugging it. I laughed and rubbed his head.

"Alright baby. Now let's see what the others pick." He nodded as I picked him up. I still can't believe Pokemon is still in style. I don't even know if he knows what that is. I looked around to see Jarrid dragging James to a blue superman bed. I noticed Jenny having a problem.

"Jenny-bug what's the problem?" She sighed looking really sad.

"Fey no mine." I looked around to notice all these really girly beds, Barbie, Bratz, butterflies. Jenny is just not that kind of girl.

"Okay and what did you want?" She pointed to the green dinosaur bed. I smirked, oh yes she's a tomboy who likes to dress cute.

"Do you know what color you want your room?" She nodded.

"Puwple." How am I gonna solve her problem. I heard someone from behind me.

"What's the problem angel?" James asked placing Jarrid on his shoulders.

"She wants a dinosaur bed but they don't have any for girls." He sighed looking around.

"Angel, you don't like any other bed? I mean we can get you a different bed and make your room dinosaurs." Her eyes start tearing up. I shook my head picking her up.

"Maybe they have a normal type of toddler bed and I can work my magic on it?" He nodded motioning to a plain white one. I handed Kian over to James so I could talk to Jennifer.

"Jenny-bug, look at me." She moved her eyes to look at me.

"We will buy a different bed and Mama will work his magic to try and turn it into a dinosaur bed alright?" She sniffled and nodded. I motioned for James to hand me back Kian. He loaded the beds into the cart and sat Jarrid in the front. We got the theme for each room. Once at the front people kept giving us looks. Like really nasty looks but when we got to the cashier she had a whole different thing going on.

"Oh my goodness. Look at these cuties!" Kian blushed hiding his face into my chest while Jarrid smiled at her.

"HI!" He said waving. The girl's name was Ashley.

"Hi, you are adorable. Is this your daddy and uncle?" She asked point to me for daddy and James for uncle. Jenny looked confused and I could see the attitude coming out of her.

"No! Mama Papa." She stated with her hands on her hips. Jarrid nodded along with her. The poor girl looked confused and apologetic.

"I am so sorry. I just..." We nodded.

"It's fine. We get it everywhere." She blushed at James as she finished ringing us up.

"Well, they are absolutely adorable. I am Ashley what are your guys names?" She asked the kids. Kian still had his head in my neck.

"I Jawwid. Tat's Kian." She nodded and looked to Jenny.

"And your name miss diva?" Jenny smiled.

"Jenny." She nodded and handed James back the change.

"I hope you guys have fun with your new beds." They waved as we walked out. Kian lifted his head.

"Why wady Papa uncle?" I froze looking at James who was in the same state. See we haven't discuss this with them at all. We wanted them to be older but we might need to tell them a few times I guess. I cleared my throat walking to the car.

"Wait till we get in the car baby and then we will tell you as we drive." He nodded. Everything is in and they are buckled. James pulls out and we are on our way to the closest hardware store.

"Mama, why?" I sighed at Jenny's question.

"Angel, you know how Cooper has Aunt Katie and Uncle Los as a mommy and daddy." She nodded at James. I have no idea where he is going with this.

"Well, do you notice a difference between Mama and me and Uncle Los and Aunt Katie?" They all looked confused.

"No. Aunt Katie giwl dough?" Jarrid said. He nodded.

"Okay and what's different between Katie and Mama?" James you're confusing the poor kids. Kian tilted his head.

"Mama boy ofew (other) kids a boy Mama wight?" I sighed shaking my head.

"No baby. A lot of kids don't, when they do they are more than likely not their real parents." Dear God we are confusing these kids. I look at James who looks like he's trying to keep his composure.

"Da means you not Mama?" Kian asked with tears welling in his eyes. I looked at the other two who follow his action. James slammed on the break scaring all of us and makes them start crying.

"Sorry angels. Papa didn't mean too." They nodded still crying.

"We are both your parents. We have pictures of you in your Mama's tummy." They nodded and I sighed.

"How about when you are a little bit older we tell you more. Just don't worry about it right now." They nodded wiping their eyes. I turned back around glaring at James.

"What the heck James! Scare the kids why don't you!" He sighed and pulled into the parking lot.

"Sorry. I didn't expect a question like that to come out of Kian's mouth." I shook my head.

"We should talk about this later when they aren't around." He nodded and we got all of them out.

We had a hell of a time picking out colors. Jenny didn't realize that there were so many different purples but she finally settled on a deep plum like purple. The boys on the other hand were hell. Kian wanted red while Jarrid wanted blue. We had to compromise with splitting the room down the middle with black so each of them could have their colors. I had to pick up other color paints for the other rooms and Jenny's bed. Back in the car they were out like lights. When we pull into the driveway we see everyone there. I rolled down my window.

"Kendall! Where have you guys been?" Katie yelled. I rolled my eyes as James rolled down the rest of the windows.

"Sorry guys we got side tracked by fights." I seen Carlos, Tanner and Logan all go around to the trunk.

"Uncle KENNY!" I looked over to see Cooper running full force. I jumped out the window to stop him from running into the door. I pulled him up getting a sloppy kiss on the cheek.

"Coop! Are you gonna help us with the house?" He nodded.

"Mommy says I spend night." I nodded.

"Oh yes. I bet Jarrid and Kian would love that but first we'd have to get settle in." He nodded and looked to the trunk.

"HI UNCLE JIMMY!" I cackled because we've been trying to get it to sound like Jamie but it hasn't worked just yet.

"Hey Coop!" He giggled and hooked his arms around me.

"Hen wake up?" I shrugged.

"Not sure. They might sleep for a few more hours." He sighed and laid his head on my shoulder.

"Zadew comin?" I shrugged again.

"I am not sure if Zander is coming. His mommy and daddy still have work." Cooper has grown to like Zander so has Jenny. They talk about dinosaurs all day. I noticed the guys bringing in the last little bit.

"Katie, Alex, Camille you want to get the sleepy heads?" They nodded. Alex is now Tanner's wife and they are trying to have a baby. They got married last year on May 25. Camille and Logan are now engaged and the wedding's this coming June so, we've had our share of weddings and engagements for a while. I walked in with Cooper hanging from my neck as they laid the kids on the floor with a blanket. We have furniture but knowing them they'd roll right off.

"What doin fiwst?" Cooper asked. I chuckled pulling him off my neck.

"Well we will paint upstairs first then eat lunch. We will put your cousins beds together and while I make Jenny's bed the others with start with the painting downstairs so you and the others can play outside while Great Pappy and Rose watch you." He nodded. The kids made up new names for Pappy Jim and Grandma Rose. They call them Great Pappy and Great Rose, it made their days when they came up with it. Cooper jumped down and ran over to the laptop that's playing the lego movie. I walked up the stairs to see the Tanner, Alex, Logan and Camille in the boys room and James, Katie and Carlos in Jenny's. I sighed and walked into Jenny's.

"Why such the long face brother?" I shrugged watching James pour the purple paint into the tray.

"Some cashier made the mistake by calling Kendall daddy and me an uncle." Katie cringed.

"Oh, what happened to make you act like you lost your puppy?" I sighed grabbing a roller.

"Jennifer went diva on correcting her. Kian on the other hand after we got out was like why she call you guys that." Carlos shook his head.

"He's always been so curious." I nodded dipping it back into the color.

"We had a discussion with them that lead to a meltdown on everyone's part." James said. Katie stopped all movement.

"Wait, you didn't?" I sighed.

"We did. We went on the subject of adopting but we didn't call it that. Then Kian being Kian asked if I was really his Mama which caused everyone else to panic and start crying." She sighed.

"You know to expect this happening. When they go to school they will be asked why they have two daddies instead of a mom and a dad." James shook his head.

"Well, we didn't think this stuff would happen this fast. They can barely make sentences let alone figure out why they don't have two different parents." She nodded.

"I know. They will figure it out sooner than later." We nodded and heard a pound on the wall. I rolled my eyes and laid down my roller. I walked over to the other bed room to see Alex and Tanner standing there looking very confused.

"How did you want this?"

We spent two hours painting and then putting the beds together. Katie was mortified that Jenny got a plain white bed and I had to explain my plan. During the middle of painting the kids came up to admire the rooms. We got lunch and sat in the middle of the dining room.

"Mama I dwink youws?" Jarrid asked. I nodded and handed him the cup. He took a big long suck and when he was done he threw his head back.

"AHH! Dat good." I chuckled pulling back my drink. Kian sat there quietly picking at his fries.

"Key baby you okay?" He shrugged. I glanced at everyone and they were just as curious.

"I know somethings wrong. You usually love fries." He sighed dropping his fry.

"I gonna miss Gwammie and Gwandpapi." I heard a round of aww's and then Jenny and Jarrid both scooted close to him pulling him into a hug. My heart just melted.

"Key alwight. We see dem." Jenny said. Jarrid kissed his cheek.

"You haz uz. I tink we bettew den them!" Kian giggled pulling them closer into the hug. I grinned at James who was smiling.

"Now, that's a sibling thing that no one can compete with." Camille said. We all nodded and continued with our food.


That was Chapter One of Diamond Ups. Does this set the mood for the whole story? I have no clue honestly. I had to make them sound like they were still having trouble talking. Sorry for the confusion there. I hoped you liked it! Next update in a week or so!

Have a beautiful, wonderful day
