Author's Note: Well I finally figured out a way that works for me to continue with this story, I hope it works for you as well.
Logan couldn't help but feel more confident and out going since he got together with 's a big part in why he was willing and ready to come out like this. Right now they are all on a plane headed back to Minnesota for Adriana Kerney's surprise birthday party and the hockey game. He was looking forward to finally coming out to his parents but as the flight grew near it's end he was starting to get more nervous then he ever thought he would be in his entire life time. He needs to do it...they talked about it...they agreed, it's just scary, not knowing how your parents will react.
"We are approaching our landing, please fasten your seatbelts." The Captains voice filtered through the plain.
"That was fast. Did that seem a lot faster then the first time to you?" Logan was rambling on and on to Kendall.
"Not really, I just think it a classic case of nerves."
"Yeah you're probably right."
This trip was actually different from all the other trips they had taken back home. Moma Knight and Katie both stayed behind back at the Palm Woods. Katie was on a role with her new clients and she wasn't about to up and disappear on them and there was no way Moma Knight was going to live Katie behind all by herself no matter how hard she had tried to convince her that she would be alright left alone for a week. She did however give Kendall the key's to the house so he wouldn't have to stay anywhere else and gave permission for the boys to stay with him as long as their Mothers said it was ok. Even though they can be very reckless, as demonstrated when they mansion sat for Gustavo, but it being their house she knew there were no secret off limits places for them to get into and destroy. Plus she told them if anything went wrong while they were there she would give Gustavo permission to run the boys completely ragged on their days off for a month.
Once the plane was safely on the ground, they were allowed to depart the aircraft. After gathering their bags from the baggage claim they headed for the outside world of Minnesota. You see, they didn't tell their Parent's they were coming home for a week, they wanted to surprise them. James, however did call Sebastian in hope that he would be free to pick them up in the limo.
Once the cool Minnesota air hit them, they saw Sebastian standing with a cardboard sign that read...'BTR'. As he noticed the boy's, he put the sign down and welcomed the hug from James with an equally warm embrace. After a moment of greetings Sebastian helped the boy's put their luggage in the car, and then they boy's climbed into the back as Sebastian went around to the front and got t=in the drivers side. Before they knew it they were pulling up in front of Carlos' house. "Thanks for the ride Sebastian. I will see you guy's later right?"
"Of course Carlitos. Remember my Mom said we could all stay at my house, so if you wanna come over at all..." That's all Kendall had to say to let Carlos know that as always, his door was open.
"OK, bye guys." And with that Carlos disappeared up the steps to his house and Sebastian headed to Logan's house where he would drop off not only Logan but Kendall as well.
"Will you be at your place later?" James asked Kendall as he was about to shut the limo door.
"Yeah, gonna hang out here for a little while with Logan and then head on over. You can just come over any time. You still got the spare key right?" Jennifer Knight had giving all the boys' a spare key to the house back when they were twelve, they had been like her own children and seeing as how Kendall and Katie had gotten a key she figured if she gave them one it would save her from having to get up at all hours of the night to get the door (don't ask what the guys would be doing showing up all hours of the night, they're teenage boys and it's just in their nature).
"OK, I'll see you guy's later."
As Kendall and Logan headed for Logan's front door, they turned to see Sebastian pull the limo out of site.
"God Kendall, I'm just so nervous about this. What if my Parent's can't except me after I tell them?"
"They will understand and except you cause you're their son and they Love you more then anything in the world, but on the off chance that they don't I just want you to remember that you will always have me Logan. And Carlos and James. And you know my Mom and Katie will always be there for you. We are all your Family and you never have to worry about being alone ever again or never not being loved. That's what I'm for...to Love you and never leave you. I Love you Logie."
"I Love you too Kendall, I just really hope that my parents are ok with this..." he gestures between the two of them..."with you...with me...wi...with us. You're what matters most in my life other then Carlos and James and I don't know what I would do if they disapproved of me...you...us."
"I know Logie, I know."
"If it's ok with you can we wait to tell them till tomorrow or the next day? That way I can have some time with them before I go and ruin it?"
"You're not going to ruin it Logan, and you...we can tell them any time that you want. I will be by your side the whole way if you want me there. I love you. Now we better go before they see us standing here through the window and ruin the surprise."
They finished their walk up the stairs and paused to take a brief moment before Logan pulled out his key and let themselves in. It was around one in the afternoon and both his Mother and Father were at work.
"If you take the bags up to my room, I will make us some lunch." Logan instructed Kendall as he started to make his way to the kitchen.
"Will you make chicken fingers?"
"If they have it, yeah I will. You want salad with it?"
"If you're making it, I will definitely eat it." A smile reaching from ear to ear on Kendall's face in turn making Logan smile.
It didn't take Kendall but a few moments to get Logan's bag up to his room and he decided to go ahead and drop his off in the room as well even though he would most likely be going home later that night, I mean he had to right? He told James that he would be there later if he wanted to drop by and hang out. Walking into the kitchen, he was met with the aroma of chicken fingers coming from the oven. He was met with the site of Logan at the counter making a small two person salad. He made his way over to stand behind his boyfriend and placed his arms around his waist and leaned his head down to rest his chin on Logan's shoulder.
"Hmmm...this is nice."
"Get used to it, cause we're gonna have many many moments like this for the rest of our lives." Kendall replied in a sincere yet hushed voice.
"You make me so happy Kendall."
"I try my best."
"Will you get out some plates and check the chicken fingers?"
"For you I'll do anything." Kendall replied before placing a gentle kiss to Logan's cheek and removing his chin and arms from his boyfriend before making his way over to set the table. He then made his way over to the oven to check on the other part of their lunch. It didn't take long before the chicken fingers were done and Logan was placing the salad on the table. Kendall had chosen that time to get them both a bottled water from the fridge.
"The salad is very good."
A blush crept across Logan's face..."Thank you, it's not much just a tomato, some lettuce, a pepper, a few radishes and carrots and a cucumber. I think I might have taken away from something they planned for dinner, we might need to go to the store after we eat." This earned a small chuckle from Kendall.
"Sounds like a plan. Just don't tell my Mom I was eating veggies."
"You afraid if she knew that we would no longer get fish sticks, chicken nuggets, corn dogs and tater tots all the time?"
"You know me so well Logie." Kendall replied with a smile plastered on his face.
It didn't take them long to finish their lunch and clean up the mess. They were soon making their way to the local mini mart where Kendall used to work before excepting the contract with Roque Records and moving to California. While at the store they bought a few snacks and some groceries for Kendall to take home with him. They knew that the fridge would be completely empty and they were almost certain that there wouldn't be anything eatable in the cupboards.
"You know I don't know how to cook very well. I think you need to come stay with me."
"That's why we got easy microwavable food Kendall."
"But...but I really like it when you cook for me." Kendall pouted and did his best to mimic Katie's puppy dog face earning him a swat to the arm and small chuckle from Logan.
"We will see, but for right now we better hurry and drop this groceries off at your place and get these..." indicating the bag of veggies in his hand..."back to my place before my parents return home."
They didn't spend very long at the Knight residence before leaving and returning to the Mitchell household. Once inside the kitchen they proceeded to put the food away as they had done a few minutes ago at Kendall's house.
"Wanna watch a movie since my Parent's aren't back yet?"
"Sure, what movie?"
"You pick." Kendall made his way over to the DVD collection and started skimming the titles till' he came across one all four of them used to watch all the time as kids, Billy Madison. Adam Sandler being one of their favorite comedians, they could never pass up the chance to convince their parent's to go out and get his new movies whenever they came out.
While Kendall placed the movie in the DVD player, Logan was in the kitchen popping a bag of popcorn and grabbing them bot a can of . Once the movie was started they sat down beside each other on the couch. Before long they were cuddled up to each other and making out more than they were watching the movie. Being so lost in each other they never heard the door open.
"Did you leave the t.v. on this morning Daniel?" Joanna asked her husband.
"No, why?"
"I hear it coming from the living room." They both made their way from the front door into the living room.
"Logan! What are you doing back in Minnesota!" His Mother questioned but in a very happy tone.
Logan's heart nearly jump out of his chest as he and Kendall separated from each other at lightning speed. Standing up from the couch rather quickly.
"What do you two think you were doing?" Daniel questioned in a rather stern voice.
"Gustavo gave us a week off and we flew in for Adriana's birthday and we also got tickets to the big Hockey game for while we're in town." Logan answered his Mother.
"I'm so happy to see you." She wrapped Logan in a warm affectionate embrace. "Kendall would you like me to give you a ride home after dinner? I would love the chance to visit with Jen."
"Actually my Mom and Katie stayed back in California this trip. Katie has her hands full with meeting this week with her new potential clients and there was no way Mom was going to let Katie stay by herself for a week in an other state no matter how hard she begged and pleaded." That earned a light laugh from Joanna.
"I see, well you are more than welcome to stay here with us for the week if you aren't already staying with one of the other boys."
"Thank you Mrs. Mitchell, but my Mom actually gave me permission to stay at our house. She had the electricity turned back on and everything. Even said that if it was ok with every ones parents, they are welcome to stay there too."
"Really?" She asked in an almost disbelieving tone.
"Really Mom, she did however inform us that if we destroyed the house in any way shape or form, she would happily tell Gustavo that he has her full permission to brings us in on our day's off and work us to the bone without any complaint from her for two months."
"Now that makes it believable. Totally something that Jen would do."
This whole time Logan never actually really took his eye's off his Dad. He knew he was waiting for an answer to his question, but Logan was hoping that he would just let it go and move on. No such luck.
"And When We Walked In Here What Was It That You Two Think You Were Doing?" Daniel once again question, only this time he was more stern (if that was even possible).
Logan's body tensed at the sound of his Father's voice. He never knew his Parent's to be homophobic, but that didn't mean that they would be ready to welcome him with open arms. Kendall could tell that Logan was scared and nervous, he needed to comfort him but he felt that if he tried to hug him right now Logan would probably freak out so he decided to just intertwine their fingers, hoping that it would give Logan enough courage to answer his Dad.
Logan excepted Kendall's hand and found comfort in it. It meant everything to him to know Kendall was by his side no matter what and once again he has a new found courage to come out to his Parent's and face the world.
"W...we were watc...watching a movie."
"You were kissing."
"We we..were doing wha...what all coup...couples do, maki...making out while watching a mo...movie." Logan finally managed to get out, he hadn't stuttered that bad in years. He was happy to finally have told his parents but at the same time he was scared.
"How long have the two of you been going out? And why haven't you told us before now?" Joanna asked.
"It's been just a little over five weeks Mom and we convened Gustavo to let us have a week instead of two days so I could take this time to tell you."
"I'm glad you did." Once again she was embracing Logan in a warm hug. After releasing him she moved over and gave Kendall a hug as well.
"What happened to that Camille girl?" Logan's Father once again was taking part in the conversation.
"I liked her, I really did. We even dated for a period of time, but we realized things just weren't working out for us. I actually think her and James might wind up together in the long run."
"Well good for James." Joanna replied.
"Dad? Ar...are you ok wi...with this...with Kendall and me?"
"To be completely honest with you I'm not thrilled about it. I don't want you to think that I don't Love you anymore, you're my son and I will never stop loving you. I don't hate you either Kendall. I just don't know how I feel about this." Daniel's voice still a little stern but the love for his son shinning through.
Logan let go of Kendall's hand and moved to give his Dad a hug..."I love you Dad."
"I love you too Logan. Just don't kiss in front of me, ok." That caused a little bit of laughter all round.
"Ok, what do you boy's want for dinner? There's chicken fingers in the freezer." Joanna asked.
"Um, we kinda had some of those for lunch. How about your baked pork chops, I haven't had that since we left for California and I miss it."
"OK, coming right up."
During the forty or so minutes it took to cook the meal, the boys decided to see what was on tv. They finally decided to leave it on Grey's Anatomy. Kendall wasn't really into doctor shows but Logan loved them and he could never deny Logan something that he loved.
After dinner Joanna drove the boys to the Knight residence, where Carlos and James were inside playing video games while they waited for Kendall to get home. They thanked Joanna for the ride before heading up the steps and inside.
"Didn't think you were gonna come home tonight." James spoke as Kendall and Logan sat down on the couch beside their best friends.
"How long have you guy's been here?" Kendall questioned.
"About ten minutes. Came over after dinner." Carlos answered.
"I met up with Carlos after I ate and we walked over together."
"We...we told my parent's about us tonight."
"How'd it go?" Carlos asked.
"My Mom was ok with it for sure but my Dad kinda freaked a little. Told us we can't kiss in front of him."
"I'll bet that's why you're here right now instead of home." James said with a suggestive look on his face.
"Nah, Mom's gonna pick me up in a few hours."
"Same here." Carlos chimed in.
Before they knew it their Mom's were there to pick them up. The next day they all decided that they would visit some of their old hangouts, such as the pond where they would skate and fish, the old ice rink where they would play hockey during the off season, the store where they would keep Kendall company while he was working, their old school and then their favorite diner for lunch before heading back to Kendall's. They were staying the night their since Adriana's party was tomorrow afternoon.
Author's Note: Baked Pork Chops is my Uncles recipe that I really wanna try but haven't yet. I came close to posting the recipe but didn't know if he would like that. There will also be one more part in this story before it's done and I will post it as soon as I get it typed out, I already have an outline for it so hopefully it wont be too long before I get it up and posted.
