~Chapter Two~

~Kendall's POV~

The next morning I was sitting at the kitchen counter nursing a cup of coffee. I had tossed and turned all night. I just couldn't get Jade off my mind. The way she looked at me last night. I just wanted to take her in my arms and kiss away the pain. But I knew that could ever happen again.

"Good morning Baby." Mom walked into the kitchen smiling. "How was the party last night."

"Okay."

"Did you have fun?"

"I saw Jade last night."

"How is she?"

"I really didn't talk to her. She looked good."

"And little Miss. Gracie?"

"I'm going to the zoo with her and Logan today."

"We'd like to see her."

"I'll see if we can swing by before the zoo."

"Okay." She smiled at me and turned to make herself a cup of coffee.

My phone went off scaring me.

"Hello."

"Hey I'm picking up Gracie right now and then I'll be over."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"That's great man." Mom looked at me over her shoulder. "How long?"

"About twenty minutes."

"Breakfast?"

"Your Mom cooking?"

"I can ask." I looked at my mom, she raised an eyebrow at me.

"See you in twenty."

"See ya." I hung up my phone and set it back on the counter.

"So?"

"Logan's bringing Gracie over."

"Really?"

"Yeah, he said they should be here in twenty."

"Well then I should get cooking, shouldn't I?"

"Thank you Momma."

"No problem Baby." She smiled at me. "Why don't you go get your brothers up?"

"Sure Mom."

Fifteen minutes I found myself sitting on the front porch waiting for Logan and Gracie to show up. When I saw Logan's car pull in drive way, I couldn't keep the grin off my face.

As soon as Logan had the car in park, Gracie was out of the car and running right to me. I stood up and caught her, hugging her tightly to me.

"I missed you so much Baby Girl."

"I missed you too Daddy."

I could feel her tears soaking through my shirt. I just held her tighter while I ran my hand up and down her back.

"I love you Daddy."

"I love you too, Baby Girl. Grandma and Grandpa are waiting of you inside."

She pulled away from my neck and smiled at me.

"Well then, let's not keep them waiting."

I just laughed and carried her inside.

Once we were in the door, I set Gracie down and she ran right into the kitchen and into Dad's arms.

"Makes you feel good huh?"

"What?" I looked back at Logan.

"Having her in your arms again?"

"But for how long?"

"Jade told me this morning that she was planning on moving back to LA."

"Really?"

"Yeah, she said she realized it was a mistake taking Gracie away from her family."

"Wow, my parents will be happy to hear that."

"She's not going to stop you from seeing her ya know. You will always be her father."

I just shrugged and walked into the kitchen. I felt a sense of peace wash over me as I watched Gracie talk to my parents. It was like everything was right in the world again.

I really hope Logan was right and she wouldn't stop me from seeing Gracie. I just can't see my life without her in my life.

~Jade's POV~

"Jade, are you crazy?" Cassie screeched at me.

"No. Gracie wants him here, I can't say no to her."

"Why?"

"Because this whole mess has been really hard on her, and despite what happened between Kendall and I, he will always be her Daddy."

"And if you get remarried?"

"I don't plan on ever getting married again."

"Frist Ted and now Kendall. I could kill them both."

"I'll never find someone that I love as much as I love Kendall."

"Then why are you doing this?" She threw up her hands.

"Because it's what he wants." I shrugged. "Haven't you heard the saying, if you love something let it go and if it comes back to you, it's yours."

"And how long are you going to wait for the dumb ass to pull his head out of his ass?"

I just shrugged and took a drink of my coffee.

"And what are you going to do for money?"

"Well, technically, I'm still the boy's manager."

"What did you just say?"

"I'm still the boy's manager, technically."

"Meaning what?"

"I've been running things behind the scenes. Allen is the front, but I make all the final decisions."

"And they have no idea do they?"

"Logan knows."

"You told Logan, before you told me?"

"It was his idea. He didn't think it was fair that I had to walk away because Kendall I broke up." I shrugged. "Todd agreed."

"Wow."

"Yeah, that I a shocker." I laughed.

"And when Kendall finds out?"

"There's nothing he can really do about it. And if he really thought I was just going to walk away from the guys because he decided we were over, and then he really never knew me."

"Then why this whole charade?"

"To make it easier on him."

"Why?"

"Because I still love him." I looked at her. "I always will."

"And what about what you want?"

"I just want him to be happy."

"I don't understand you."

"Cass, I don't even understand myself."

"You don't have to do this."

"What am I going to do? Fight for something that he no longer feels?" I shook my head. "I can't do that."

"Then show him what he's losing."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go shopping." Cassie smirked at me as the doorbell went off. "Hold that thought."

She walked out of the kitchen with that damn smirk planted on her face. That damn smirk told me that I was in a lot of trouble, that I wasn't going to be able to get out of.

Cassie came back in with Allie and Alexa behind her.

"Good morning Jade." Allie smirked at me.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"We're going shopping." Alexa grinned at me.

"Why?"

"Because you're going to show Mr. Schmidt what he's losing, that's why."

All three of the crossed their arms over their chests and glared at me.

"I don't have much of choice do I?"

"No, no you really don't."

"I'm not going to win this one am I?"

"Nope." They all grinned at me.

"Well, let me go get changed, and then we can go. Help yourself to the coffee."

Once I was in the safety of my room, I leaned on the door and let out a long deep breath. I really couldn't do this could I? But the bigger question was, did I want to?

A half an hour later, I walked back into the kitchen to find Carlos and James hanging with the girls.

"What are you two doing here?"

"You're looking good Momma Bear." Carlos grinned at me.

"Let me guess you guys are coming with us?"

"Yup." James winked at me.

"I hate you all."

"No you don't." Carlos rolled his eyes.

I just glared at him.

"I'm driving."

"I'll be riding with you." Allie said.

"Us too." Carlos held up Alexa's hand.

"Fine let's go get this over with."

"You really hate shopping that much?"

"Yes, yes I do."

"Well you'll just have to get over it Sissy."

"Some days, I really do hate you Kid."

"No you don't." Cassie grinned at me.

"Whatever, can we just get this over with?" I whined.

"You've been hanging out with Gracie too much." Cassie rolled her eyes.

I just shrugged and headed towards the garage. Gracie never judged me. She was there for me no matter what.

After two hours of trying on dresses, I really wanted to kill someone. They were really pissing me off.

"I'm gonna take Momma Bear to get a smoothie." Carlos announce and dragged me out of the store.

"Thank you."

"Yeah well you'd be pissed if we let you hurt them, no matter how much it would have made you feel better."

"Thanks Carlos." I hooked arms with him as he led me down the street.

"No problem Momma Bear."

"God I have no idea how I survived without you and Logan. You guys keep me sane."

"We've really missed you. It just hasn't been the same with you gone. Not that Allen hasn't done a wonderful job, he's just no you."

"Oh how you say the sweetest things." I laughed. "Can you tell me how he really is doing?"

"Kendall?"

"Yeah."

"Are you sure you really want to know?"

"Yes."

"He puts on a front for the fans, but he hasn't been the same since you left. He was okay, when you still lived here, but when you took Gracie back to Michigan it was like the lights went out."

"He's taking his harder than I thought he would."

"He will deny this, but he still loves you."

"I know he does."

"Then why?"

"Because this is what he says he wants."

"He doesn't know what he wants."

I just shrugged and opened the door to Jamba Juice. After that he just dropped the subject, which I was grateful for. The conversation brought up a lot emotions that I really just wanted to burry deep down in my heart.

Knowing he was hurting, hurt me more then I will ever admit out loud.

"You okay?" Carlos handed me my smoothie.

"Yeah, I'm okay."

"You sure?"

"Do you think I need a haircut?"

"You don't want to talk about it do you?"

"Maybe just some highlight and low lights."

"We'll do whatever you want Momma Bear, you know that."

"Thank you."

He just gave me a side hug as we walked back to the store that we had left the other at.

When we got back things went a lot better, then before I had left. They weren't so push and when they'd start pushing a little too hard Carlos would step in and shut them all up.

When we finally agreed on a dress, I was ready to go home. But the dress I let them talk me into was something I would have never picked out for myself. It made me look like a Greek Goddess.

Even though it showed more than anything I have worn in the past, I loved the dress. It was low cut in the front and made out of chiffon martial. It also had a belt that the skirt flowed from.

"Momma Bear, you're gonna knock his sock off." Carlos stepped into the dressing room.

"I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing it for me."

"I know that, but still it's a bonus that you'll knock his socks off."

"Mmhmm." I rolled my eyes at him. "Why are you in here?"

"Because you were taking to so long, and everyone figured that you wouldn't kill me."

"You're a little shit, ya know."

"Yeah, but you still love me.

"Get out of her Carlos and let me change." I looked at him through the mirror. "Can you let them know that they can leave, I'm gonna pay for this and then go get my hair cut."

"Can I tag a long?"

"Why?"

"Cause I miss spending time with you."

"I'm shocked Logan didn't tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"I'm moving back to LA."

"What? Really?" He looked shocked. "When did you decide that?"

"Last night."

"Oh my God, we're gonna have to have a party."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I said so."

"Yes Momma Bear."

"I mean it, Carlos."

"Okay Momma Bear."

"Go." I pushed him out of the dressing room.

He laughed and shut the door.

I shook my head and changed back into my street clothes. When I got back out front, everyone but Carlos had left. I smiled at him as we walked up to the cashier.

God I had missed this. Just spending time with my boys, they just know how to make my bad day, that much better.
