Science-Fantasy93: We're finally updating! Go us! :)
Jatieluv: Woo! Anyway, we're sorry it took so long to get this out. But things have been crazy haha. At least on my end.
Science-Fantasy93: But we hope you guys enjoy the chapter :)
Jatieluv: Mmm hmm. :)
Disclaimer: Science-Fantasy93 - I'm pretty sure Jatieluv and I do not own Big Time Rush. Right?
Jatieluv: Sadly, no. But I met them on the 14th, and it was the best day of my life! :D
Science-Fantasy93: And I'm both jealous and happy for you :P
Jatieluv: Heh heh :)
To an unsigned in reviewer: dream2dance: Science-Fantasy93: I get what you mean, I've actually thought that myself. But the thing is...We don't really control the characters. I know that sounds weird but we only have so much to do with how they act.
Jatieluv: They're very unpredictable. But believe me, they were VERY upset.
Science-Fantasy93: They're mostly just happy to be back together, but who knows what's going to happen?
Jatieluv: We definitely don't. But I'm sure it'll be an adventure :)
Science-Fantasy93: Moving past that, thank you for your review!
Jatieluv: We hope you enjoy what's to come. :)

Katie's POV (cont.)
"So, where to first?" Mom asked me as we got into my car.
"I have no idea."
"I guess we'll check out the Realtor's."
"Kay."
"You know how to get there?"
"Yep."
"Okay."
We buckled up and I headed to the Realtor's.
I parked, and we headed in.
"Do you know what you want?" Mom asked.
I nodded. "Something kinda small. Either a townhouse, duplex or an apartment."
"Okay. Just for you, or for Cam, or for all three of you?"
"For me and Cam. It's only going to be me and him on days I have him. And if things work out fully with James, when we get to that point, I'll most likely move in with him."
"Okay."
We started looking into townhouses, duplexes and apartments. We found some really nice ones before long.
"Wanna go check 'em out?" Mom asked me.
"Sure."
We headed out to see some of them.
"This one's nice," Mom said as we walked around a two-bedroom apartment.
I nodded. "It is."
"It's cheap."
"I know and it's in a good place."
"It is."
"I like it."
"So do I."
"I think I'm gonna take it."
"Sounds good."
I nodded. I ended up signing a lease on it.
Once everything was done, we headed back to Mom's house.
"Want some lunch?" Mom asked me.
"Yes," I groaned.
"What would you like?"
"How about I make lunch for you?"
"If you want..."
I smiled. "I want."
"Okay."
I looked around in her fridge and cabinets. I was gonna make something that was gonna knock her socks off.
Mom sat down at the table, kicking her shoes off.
I pulled out some ground beef, bacon, green beans and spices. I prepared everything and cooked it.
About a half hour later, everything was done.
I grabbed plates and forks, put food on both and set them on the table.
"Wow..." Mom gaped at it. "You became a damn good cook."
I smiled. "Thanks."
She took a bite of her burger. "Delicious!"
I beamed.
She smiled back at me.
"Try the green beans."
She did so. "Amazing!"
"Right? I'm not one to brag, but I will say cooking and painting are my things."
"For sure."
I ate my food.
Mom finished hers before long.
A couple minutes later, Cam and James walked in.
I turned to look at them.
Cam yawned, and James looked wide awake. Wait...Wasn't this backwards?
I gaped at him.
James grinned. "Poor little guy."
Cam snuggled up to James. "It was so much fun," he told me.
I blinked. "How is this reversed? You should be the one tired, not Cam..."
James shrugged. "I'm a hockey player. I have a lot of energy and stamina."
Cam looked at me. "Is that bacon?"
I nodded.
"Can I have some?"
"Sure."
He opened his mouth and I fed him a bite. "Yummy!"
I chuckled. "My little bacon monster."
James walked over to the fridge, and pulled out a yogurt.
"Daddy, want some bacon?"
"No thanks," James said to him. "I don't eat bacon."
Cam gasped. "Why not? It's so good!"
"It's against my beliefs."
Cam furrowed his brow. "You don't believe in bacon?"
"I believe in bacon, I just don't believe in eating it."
"Why not?"
"My entire family is like that."
"But why?"
"Because we're Jewish."
"What's that?"
"It's a religion."
"Oh...Should I not eat it too?"
"No, you can eat it."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive."
"Okay." He turned to me and opened his mouth.
I laughed and fed him some more.
James chuckled as he grabbed a spoon, opened his yogurt container, and dug into it.
Cam hummed happily.
"Did you find a place?" James asked me.
I nodded. "Yep and signed a lease."
"Awesome."
"I know. And it's really nice."
"So, how do you want to do this? Do you want to take Cam one week, and I take him the next?"
I shook my head. "No, no, no...I can't not go a week without him."
"Okay...two days on, two days off?"
I nodded.
"Okay. And you're welcome over at my place anytime."
"Ditto," I smiled.
He smiled back.
"I got you something," Cam told me.
"Oh yeah?"
He nodded.
"What'd you get me?"
He reached into one of the bags they had brought home and pulled out a panda hat. "I member how much you like pandas."
I squealed. "Awww!"
James smiled as Cam handed me the hat.
I grinned and put it on.
Cam beamed, and James grinned.
I rubbed my nose against Cam's. "Are you gonna be my baby panda?"
"Okay!"
"You two are beary cute together," James said to Cam and me.
My grin widened. "Thank you beary much."
He kissed my cheek.
I looked at Cam. "Tell you what, when winter comes, we'll get you a panda hat too."
"Okay!"
I chuckled at him and took the hat off. "Thank you," I said, hugging him.
"You're welcome!"
I kissed his cheek. "Love you, baby bear."
"Love you too, Mommy Bear."
I grinned wickedly.
Cam turned to James. "And you're my daddy bear."
My grin widened.
James glanced at me. "Uh oh...I know that look..."
Mom nodded. "Dare I ask?"
I shrugged, still grinning widely.
"What?" James asked me.
"I was just thinking, if you and Cam both got bear hats and we wore them while hanging with Kendall, we'd be like Goldilocks and the three bears."
James cracked up.
Mom laughed.
Cam looked confused.
I looked at him. "Do you remember that story?"
"Yeah..."
"Okay. You remember Goldilocks?"
"Uh huh."
"And what color was her hair?"
"Gold."
"And what color is uncle Kendall's hair?"
"Blondish-brownish."
"But it's almost the same, right?"
"I guess..."
I chuckled. "Forget it, baby bear."
"Okay." He scurried into the living room to watch cartoons.
"He'll get it in a few years."
"He will," James agreed.
"So, how was the zoo?"
"Fun. He loved the bears."
"Aww."
James smiled, and sat down beside me.
"Did he like any of the other animals?"
"He loved pretty much everything. He didn't want to go into the reptile house, though."
I laughed. "Of course not."
"Why doesn't he like reptiles?"
I pointed to myself.
"Okay..."
"I don't like snakes and neither does he."
"Ah. That'd explain it."
"Yep."
James nodded, still eating his yogurt.
"He likes chameleons though."
"Oh yeah?"
I nodded. "He thinks they're cool."
"They are cool."
"He likes when they change colors."
"That's the best part."
"Did he tell you he wants a puppy?"
"Yep. Can we get him one?"
I laughed. "I guess. But it's staying at your house."
"Okay."
"You're really going to get him a puppy?"
"Yep. I've wanted one for awhile anyway."
"Kay."
He nodded.
"He wants a golden retriever."
"So do I."
"Hmm...Like father, like son..."
"Definitely."
"Well, he'll have a pet at each house."
"What are you getting him?"
"Nothing. I'm getting me a kitten."
"Awesome."
I nodded. "I've been wanting one, but you know who wouldn't let me have one."
"Of course not..."
"Cam's gonna be happy."
"He is."
I smiled.
James smiled back.
"He's gonna want a pudgy puppy."
"Awww!"
I nodded. "He fell in love with the puppy in the toilet paper commercial."
James chuckled.
"He's adorable."
"I can imagine."
I rested my head on the table.
James reached over and rubbed my back.
"So much to do..."
"I know."
"I have to get beds, furniture, food-"
"I know, I know. But I'm here, and I'll help."
I looked up at him.
"I'll do whatever you need me to do."
I sat up and leaned into him.
He wrapped an arm around me.
I sighed.
He kissed the top of my head.
Mom smiled at us.
We smiled back.
"You two are so cute."
"Thanks," James said to her.
"I guess we can go furniture shopping tomorrow..." I said.
"Sounds good."
"Kay."
"Are you tired?"
"Yeah, a little."
James got up, and scooped me up, bridal style.
I looked up at him.
He smiled, and carried me up the stairs to my room.
I glanced at my clock. "It's Cam's nap time."
"I'll go put him down."
"Thanks."
"No problem." He set me on the bed, and left the room.
I kicked my shoes off and crawled under the blanket.
A few minutes later, James came back into the room. "He conked out right away."
I smiled. "Aww.."
"Yeah." He collapsed on the bed beside me.
I curled into him.
He wrapped his arms around me.
"I know we agreed it was best for now, but I really don't want to be away from you now."
"I feel the same way. We spent five years apart, I don't want to spend any more time away from you," he admitted.
"I don't want to rush into anything though, but at the same time, I don't feel like we are..."
"It feels natural to just pick up where we left off."
"Exactly. Should I cancel the lease before it goes through?"
James nodded. "I want you with me, with Cam."
"Okay."
"Okay."
"I'll call them after our nap. It takes 48 hours to go through anyway..."
"Sounds good."
I snuggled into him.
He pulled me close.
I sighed happily and drifted off in seconds.
