Jo's POV
"I can't wait for tonight," I said to Kendall the next morning. "Katie's going to have so much fun!"
He nodded and glanced down at her, smiling. "She's so cute."
Katie snuggled into the pillows, still fast asleep.
I rolled over and gently stroked Katie's hair. "How're you holding up?" I asked him quietly.
"I'm okay. I mean, okay as I can be. I just can't believe all that's happened," he answered.
"You haven't talked about it though," I said, looking at him.
He kept staring at Katie. "What do you want me to say? I just- I have no words."
"Just as long as you're not bottling it in," I replied, and rolled over onto my other side, away from him.
"I'm not," he assured me. "I talked about it a little bit in the bathroom with James when we were at the store."
I laughed. "Well, that just makes it all better, doesn't it?"
He chuckled. "I guess. I mean, I was crying."
I sat up. "You don't get it, do you?"
He blinked up at me. "Get what?"
"This is the kind of thing that keeps therapists in business."
"I don't need a therapist."
"I'm not saying you do."
"Then what are you saying?"
"I'm saying you need to talk about it in more depth with someone. I know it just happened, and you must still be in shock, but after awhile, it's going to really effect you."
"I know that and I'm not trying to push it away. But I have something more important to worry about."
"Well, when it hits you, let us help both you and Katie, okay?"
"Of course."
"Okay, good."
"I'm not going to shut you guys out."
"I hope not." I turned back over so that I could look at him again.
He gave me a smile. "I know I need you guys. But right now, I have to be strong for her."
"Okay. Do what you need to do."
He nodded and turned back to Katie.
She scooted closer to him, snuggling into him.
I smiled at them. She was so cute!
He smiled and wrapped his arm around her, cuddling her to him. "She's so warm," he murmured. "How does someone so tiny, generate so much heat?"
I shrugged. "Toddler internal heater?"
"Maybe," he said, kissing the top of her head. "She still smells really good too."
"I bet."
Carlos bounded into the room. "Is she awake yet?"
"Not yet," Kendall said in a hushed voice.
Carlos pouted.
"Sorry. I'm sure she'll be awake soon."
"Okay." He sulked out of the room.
Kendall and I chortled together.
A few minutes later, Katie stirred. She blinked up at us sleepily.
We smiled at her.
"Good mownin'," she yawned.
"Good morning," we greeted her.
"I wet."
"Then let's go get you changed," Kendall said cheerfully.
"Kay."
Kendall got out of bed and grabbed the necessities out of the bathroom so that he could change Katie.
Deciding to help, she pulled open her diaper.
Kendall shook his head, laughing. "You little clown, you."
She giggled and stood up, diaper free, before crawling off the bed and running out of the room.
Kendall and I exchanged looks, and then I jumped out of bed and we both ran out after her.
Katie giggled and ran down the hall, opening James' door and bursting in. "Hi, Jamie!"
I heard James groan. "Katie, what are you doing in - KENDALL! GET IN HERE, NOW!"
Kendall and I rushed in.
Katie just smiled cutely at all of us.
James had his eyes covered and was turning away from her, apparently trying to prevent another vision.
She somehow managed to get on his bed and sat next to him. "Jamie? What doin'?"
"Kendall," I hissed. "Do something! He's shaking!"
Kendall took a step towards them and Katie scooted closer to James.
"Katie," I tried, "James will do whatever you want him to do once you're dressed."
She pouted.
"He, um, he just really wants you to get dressed," I said. "Or at least covered up."
She paused and then crawled under his blanket. "Bettew?"
"You can look," Kendall told him, and James took his hands away from his eyes.
"Much better," he smiled at her, and then groaned. His body went limp, his eyes blank: He was having a vision.
Well, there went that fight.
Katie looked at him curiously. "Jamie?"
The sound of his name seemed to bring him out of the vision.
He panted heavily, his eyes dilated. "Oh God..."
"What happened?" Kendall asked.
James looked at him. "A vision."
"Obviously. What happened in it?"
James looked pointedly at Katie and mouthed, "I don't want her to hear."
Kendall nodded and grabbed Katie, despite her protests and walked out to go put a diaper and clothes on her.
I looked at James. "What happened?"
"I think it was the aftermath of the first time we...you know...She looked younger than in the last vision. She was in my arms, sleeping, and I was just laying there, not quite being able to believe that it had finally happened."
I smiled. "Aww."
"Yeah..."
"That's so cute."
"Thanks," he said sarcastically.
"What? It is. How old do you think she was?"
"She didn't look much older than she did in the first vision, when I was teaching her how to drive. I'd put her at about 16, maybe 17."
I nodded. "Looks like the promise gets discarded."
"Yeah," he said, looking down.
"You okay?"
"No. This little girl...it kind of feels like her life is all planned out for her, with me as her mate. I know what's going to happen 14 years in advance, and she won't."
"James, she'll still have a normal life. Well, sort of. There's nothing normal about any of you guys," I laughed.
"She should know what's going to happen."
"And she will at some point."
"Will she get visions?" James asked me, looking up.
"Yeah, eventually."
"When do you think they'll start?"
"When she's 16. She'll get them when she goes through her transition or whatever you want to call it."
"So she'll know? She'll know that I'm her mate?"
I nodded.
"Oh. Okay. I don't know...it's still weird having visions about Katie 14 years from now, when she's only 2."
"I know. But at least you see things to look forward to. Doesn't that kinda make you happy?"
"It creeps me out. She's 2! I'm not doing a very good job of letting go of that fact."
"Not all the visions will be..umm...like that. The possibilities of what you'll see are endless. Hell, you could have another one 5 minutes from now of you two bowling."
He looked up eagerly. "Sweet! Maybe they'll make another movie based on Dan Brown's books and I'll see us watching that! That would be awesome!"
I chuckled. "See? Not so bad, huh?"
"Yeah! Hey, maybe I can see if J.K Rowling decides to write another Harry Potter book!"
Katie came running in, wearing a pink dress. "I dwessed!"
James perked up. "Come here, sweetie!" He held out his arms.
She ran over to him, giggling.
He swept her into his arms and set her in his lap. "You look so pretty in pink," he told her in the kind of voice you reserve for a toddler or a puppy.
She giggled again.
James bounced her on his knee and kissed the top of her head.
She smiled cutely and kissed his cheek.
He smiled back.
"Are there baby kisses going on in here?" Kendall asked playfully as he walked in.
Katie nodded.
"She's so sweet!" James gushed.
Kendall walked over to them and leaned down. "Where are my baby kisses?"
Katie puckered her lips and kissed his cheek.
He beamed. "That's my baby sister."
She looked up at him. "Feed baby sistew?"
"Of course! What would you like?"
"Pop-tawt!"
He nodded. "I'll go make you one."
"No toast."
"You want it just plain?"
She nodded. "No wike hot."
"Wow...okay. I'll go get you one."
"Tank you, Kenny," she said, kissing his cheek again.
He smiled at her. "You're welcome." He headed downstairs to get her her pop-tart.
"Jamie eat?"
"I will in a little while," he told her.
"Kay."
James smiled at her and continued to bounce her on his knee.
Katie giggled and leaned into him.
He hugged her.
Kendall returned a few minutes later and handed Katie a plate with two unheated pop-tarts.
"Tank you." She picked one up and took a bite.
I smiled at Kendall and kissed his cheek.
He smiled at me and chuckled as Katie munched on her pop-tart happily.
"Good?" I asked her.
"Mmm Hmm," she said, taking another bite.
I smiled and slipped my hand into Kendall's.
Katie finished one and then looked at James. "Want?"
"Sure," he said cheerfully.
She smiled at him and passed him the other pop-tart.
He took a bite. "Mmmm, good," he said, exaggerating the happy look on his face for her benefit.
Katie giggled.
Carlos walked in. "Hey, whatcha up- Hey! No one told me she was up!"
"Well, she ran naked into James' room and...yeah..." Kendall said to him.
His eyes widened. "Say what?"
"Yeah, she wanted her Jamie," I said with a laugh. "Naturally, things didn't go so well..."
"Aww! That's kind of cute though."
"Not for James," Kendall replied, laughing. "He had another - " he glanced at Katie. "V. I. S. I. O. N."
Katie looked at Kendall with confusion and curiosity.
James smoothed out her hair and Carlos nodded in realization. "Oh, okay."
Katie looked at Carlos. "Why weaw suit?"
I looked at him, realizing he was wearing swim trunks.
"I'm going swimming! You guys want to come?"
Katie's eyes lit up. "I do!" she cried, before a sad look crossed her face. "I no have suit."
Kendall chuckled at her. "We got you one last night."
Her eyes light up again. "Yay! Tank you!"
"Come on, Katie-Kat," I said to her. "Let's go get you changed."
"Kay," she said, crawling to the end of James' bed.
I picked her up and carried her into Kendall's room. I grabbed her swimsuit and put it on her, before putting on my own and taking her down to the pool.
The guys joined us a few minutes later.
"Aww!" Carlos cooed. "Look at her."
Katie gave him a toothy smile.
I smiled. "Isn't she cute?"
Carlos nodded and ran over, scooping her up. "The cutest!" he said.
Katie squealed and giggled.
Kendall laughed and took her from Carlos, kissing all over her face.
She giggled and grabbed both sides of his face.
I grinned.
Katie pressed a quick, sloppy baby kiss to his lips.
Kendall laughed. "You cutie, you!"
She giggled.
Kendall rubbed his nose against hers.
Katie gave him another baby kiss.
Kendall beamed at her.
She smiled and wiggled in his arms. "Swim!"
"Okay."
Katie wiggled out of his arms and ran over to James.
James scooped her up. "Hi baby!"
"Hi!" she chirped.
"Ready to swim?"
"Uh huh."
"Okay. Does she have any water wings or a tube?" he called over to Kendall.
"Yeah, we got her a little rhino float," Kendall answered, before grabbing it.
"Okay," James replied, before turning back to Katie. "We'll go into the pool in a minute."
"Kay."
Kendall handed the float to James.
James helped Katie into the float and then carried her into the pool, before setting her carefully in the shallow end of the pool.
Logan and Carlos chuckled as they got in the pool.
Katie beamed at them.
"You okay?" James double-checked with her.
"Yep!" she said, moving her little legs under the water.
He laughed, and rolled over, floating on his back.
Carlos walked over to her and started to pull her away.
Katie put a hand over her mouth so James wouldn't hear her laughing.
James immediately straightened up. "Carlos! Bring her back to me!"
"No! She's mine!"
"She's mine!"
"Nope! Sorry, she's mine now!"
Katie giggled.
James glared playfully at Carlos. "But I'm her Jamie."
"Yeah, but I'm her Carwos."
"Yeah, but I made her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich yesterday."
"Yeah, well, I was going to color with her...and I snuggled with her!"
While Carlos was distracted, Logan pulled Katie away, grinning.
"Logan!" James and Carlos both cried.
Logan's grin widened. "Yes?"
"Bring her back!" they cried together.
Katie giggled and clapped her hands.
Kendall and I laughed.
"Nope," Logan told them. "I think I'll keep her."
They both pouted.
Logan pulled her a little further.
James and Carlos launched into attack, with Carlos dunking Logan and James pulling Katie away.
Katie squealed with laughter.
James hugged her. "I got you!"
She giggled.
Logan popped back up and dunked Carlos.
I laughed. "Gonna join in the brawl?" I asked Kendall.
He paused and then launched at them.
I laughed again, and joined James and Katie.
Katie watched them and then placed her hand on James' head, trying to dunk him. She frowned when he wouldn't budge and turned to me. "Kat no do."
I quickly signaled to James what she wanted, and the next time she tried, he let himself go under.
Katie beamed. "I did it!"
"Yes you did!" I cooed to her..
"Kenny! I dunk Jamie!" she said proudly.
Kendall clapped for her. "Congratulations! None of us can ever dunk James!"
Her smile widened. "I awesome!"
James surfaced and attacked her with a wet hug. "Yes you are!"
She giggled. "Jamie wet."
"Yes I am!" he continued to hug her, getting her all wet.
She snuggled into him.
He smiled and snuggled right back.
The guys walked over.
"Let her go," Kendall said.
"Yeah, it's time we finally get you," Carlos added.
James looked at them. "Me?"
"Yes, you," Logan said.
Katie pushed away from James and turned her float around so she was facing them and James was behind her. She narrowed her eyes at them. "You weave Jamie awone!"
My jaw dropped and I cracked up. "She told you guys!"
Carlos looked appalled. "Dude."
"What? She did."
"I know. I wasn't talking to you...I was just saying..."
"What? To who?"
"I was just saying dude. You know when something happens and then you're just like 'dude'..."
"Ah. Of course. It was just the look on your face."
James grinned. "Well, I dare you-"
Katie put her hand up, silencing him. "I got tis."
"Okay then," James said, his grin widening. "My little protector."
Kendall looked stunned. "Wow."
"She's feisty," I commented. "And no one's going to mess with her Jamie." And I cracked up laughing again.
Katie nodded. "My Jamie."
"Trust me," Kendall told me, "I know she's feisty."
"Didn't expect her to be so protective already?"
"Not really. And I've never seen her that feisty before."
Carlos stared at her. "Is it bad that I'm afraid of a 2 year old?"
Katie gave him a toothy grin.
"Considering it's that 2 year old? No," Kendall answered him.
Logan looked at them. "Oh, come on. She can't be that scary."
"She broke Kendall's toe," I told him.
His eyes widened. "That was her?"
"Yep."
"O-oh."
Katie smiled sweetly at us and kicked her little legs under the water again.
"Awww!" James cooed, and hugged her again.
Carlos stared at him. "I feel like I'm in one of those cartoons where the one guy has a cute little sister, but she's really evil..."
"I know what you mean..." Logan agreed.
"Like Jeremy's little sister on Phineas and Ferb."
I laughed. "Only you would compared Katie to Phineas and Ferb."
"Have you seen Suzy? Katie just totally reminded me of her!"
"Ummm...what?"
"She acts really sweet at certain times, but she always has, like, a motive...it's creepy."
"Ummm..."
Katie giggled and splashed Carlos.
He yelped.
Kendall chuckled. "Hey, this is just like bath time."
Katie splashed him too.
I cracked up again.
Katie grinned.
James also grinned.
Kendall narrowed his eyes playfully at her and lightly splashed her.
She splashed him again.
I continued to laugh. Ahhh, gotta love brothers and sisters.
"Kenny, I cowd."
"Awww. Do you want to get out?"
She nodded.
Kendall pulled her to the edge of the pool and helped her out, climbing out himself.
She waved at us.
We all waved back.
Kendall laughed and grabbed two towels, wrapping them around both of them and headed up to our room to get changed.
James frowned, biting his lip.
"What's wrong?" Logan asked.
"Is it weird that I'm suddenly really lonely?"
"Aww!" Carlos cried, launching himself at James and hugging him.
James' eyes widened. "Not actually what I meant...but okay..."
Carlos pulled away. "Sorry."
I shook my head. "She'll be back down in a minute. I assume we're all getting out anyway, right?"
"Yeah," James said at once, his eyes already a little sad.
I gave him a small smile as I climbed out. I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around me and headed up to the bedroom to get changed.
A few minutes later, we all met up in the living room and watched some TV.
Katie laid down for her nap at about noon and woke up at two.
James was restless until she woke up.
A few hours later, we all got ready for my parent's party.
I put Katie in her dress and walked her downstairs. "Doesn't she look gorgeous?" I said to the others.
Katie twirled around in her dress.
"You're so beautiful!" James cried.
She smiled at him. "Tank you."
He smiled back, and went back to straightening his tie.
Kendall scooped Katie up. "You're so pretty."
She wrapped her arms around him.
"Awwww!" Carlos cooed.
Kendall smiled and kissed the top of her head as we all headed out to our cars.
I got into the car with Kendall, Katie, and James.
We all got buckled in and Kendall drove to my parent's house. The party was just beginning when we arrived. There were a few cars lining the street, and I could see people moving inside the house.
We all climbed out and Kendall grabbed Katie.
She wrapped her arms around him, clinging to him, as he carried her into the house.
Camille was already here and she walked over to us, squealing when she saw Katie. "Aww! Look at her cute little pigtails! She looks absolutely adorable!"
"Doesn't she?" I agreed.
Katie tucked her head into Kendall's neck.
James chuckled and gently rubbed Katie's back.
She looked up at him.
James smiled at her gently.
My mom and dad joined us a few seconds later.
"Hi Mom, hi Dad," I greeted them as I hugged them both.
"Hi, sweetie," Mom said to me. She looked at Katie and smiled. "And who is this little cutie?"
Katie tucked her head back in Kendall's neck.
"This is Katie, Kendall's little sister," I introduced her.
Mom smiled. "She's precious."
"Thanks," Kendall said, smiling back at her.
Dad laughed. "She's shy, huh?"
"When she first meets new people," Kendall said, also laughing. "She'll warm up to you two soon."
Carlos nudged James and pointed to where a couple of girls were checking him out.
James ignored them and continued to rub Katie's back.
Carlos looked shocked.
"What?" James asked, catching his look.
"Nothing. I'm just surprised you're not going for it."
"For - for them?" he glanced at the girls.
"Yeah."
"Oh, well...I don't think I should leave Katie."
"She has all of us."
He paused. "I don't - I don't know. Do you think I should still...you know...now that I know Katie's my mate?"
"You don't think Katie's not going to have boyfriends?"
James winced. "Good point...Okay, I'll go talk to them. If I disappear for a little while, well, you know..." he winked at Carlos and headed off to talk to the girls with his usual self-assured smirk.
Katie played with Kendall's tie.
He looked down at her. "Bored?"
She nodded. "And hungwy."
"Let's go get you some food."
"Kay."
I smiled and we headed into the kitchen.
"So, what would you like?" Kendall asked Katie, pointing to the array of food.
Her eyes lit up. "Chicky!"
Kendall chuckled and dished Katie up some chicken.
She smiled happily as he sat her down at the table and placed it in front of her.
Carlos, Logan and Cami joined.
"Wook!" she said to them. "I have chicky!"
We dished ourselves up some food and sat down with her.
"We can see," Cami said, smiling at her.
Katie smiled and went back to her chicken. She took a bite and then paused. "Whewe Jamie?"
We all glanced at each other.
"He's meeting some new people," Camille answered her.
"Kay," she said, taking another bite of her food.
Kendall looked at Camille gratefully.
She smiled at him.
I turned to Camille. "So, how was your day?"
"It was good. How was yours?"
"Good. We went swimming with Katie."
"Aww, I'm sure that was fun."
"It was. She was so cute! And she totally stood up for James!"
"Aww!"
Katie nodded. "I Jamie tectow."
Camille chuckled. "What happened?" she asked me.
"The guys wanted to dunk James."
"Onwy me dunk Jamie."
"That's right," I grinned. "He's her Jamie."
Katie nodded. "Yep. My Jamie."
Carlos leaned over and muttered to Kendall and me, "I wonder how she would feel if she knew that another girl was making James hers for the night."
"She wouldn't like that at all," Kendall told him.
"I figured."
Katie finished her chicken and sat back in her chair.
"All finished?" Kendall asked her.
She nodded. "Is Jamie done meeting now?"
"He...he will be in a little while..."
She sighed and sank into her chair.
"You miss him?"
"Yeah."
"I'm sure he'll be back soon."
"Kay."
And sure enough, much to our surprise, James appeared in the kitchen a few minutes later, slightly sweaty, and swaggering a little.
"Someone missed you," Carlos told him.
James smiled at Katie. "Awww! I missed you too!"
She smiled up at him.
He bent down and hugged her.
She hugged him back.
We all smiled at the sight in front of us. Both James and Katie looked extremely happy now that they had been reunited.
Katie wrinkled her nose. "Why smeww funny?"
We all looked at James, who shrugged helplessly at us.
Carlos and Kendall cracked up.
"She called you out," Camille grinned at James.
Katie sniffed again. "Jamie, why smeww wike pewfume?"
"I was meeting some girls who wear a lot of perfume," he quickly hedged.
"Oh."
He looked down.
"Why sad?"
"The perfume doesn't smell that good."
She reached into her little baby purse and pulled out a small plastic bottle of perfume and spritzed James with it. "Bettew?"
He smiled. "Much. Thank you, sweetie."
"Anytime."
His smile widened.
She smiled back cutely.
He sat down and pulled her into his lap.
"I had chicky," she informed him.
"So did James," Carlos hooted.
Katie looked in between them. "How Jamie have chicky?"
We all turned to glare at Carlos.
"What?" he asked. "He did."
"Explain it to her," Kendall retorted.
"I..uhh...Well, it was..uhh..it wasn't chicky...it was cat."
She furrowed her tiny brows. "But he has Kat now."
Logan covered his face, looking both horrified and amused. "Oh my gosh..."
"You're really bad at this," James told Carlos.
Katie nodded. "I so confused."
"We know," I said to her, laughing a little.
She pouted.
"Awwww!" James wrapped her up in a big bear hug.
"Kenny, have cookie?" she asked him.
"James had a coo-" Carlos started saying, but Kendall glared.
Katie huffed. "Carwos, you confusing me even mowe. Fiwst Jamie has chicky, then he has Kat, now he has cookie?"
"Wow, I ate a lot," James commented with a wicked gleam in his eyes.
"Gross," Logan said.
Katie looked up at James. "Awe you stiww hungwy?"
He bounced her on his knee and kissed the top of her head as Carlos said,
"He's always hungry."
James rolled his eyes, and then said, "You know what? I could go for some food."
Katie blinked up at him. "Want chicky?"
"Sure," he said with a sweet smile.
"Kenny, get Jamie chicky pwease..."
James smiled at him innocently.
Kendall got James a plate of chicken.
"Tank you," Katie said to him.
"You're welcome," Kendall said, although he looked a little disgruntled over the fact that his little sister had just made him get food for his best friend.
She beamed up at him.
He smiled back.
She looked up at James. "Want cut?"
"Sure."
"Kenny..."
Kendall scowled at James. "Stop enjoying this!"
He blinked at Kendall innocently. "Who, me?"
"Kenny," Katie warned. "Be nice."
Kendall pouted. "Do I have to?"
Katie pouted back. "Pwease?"
Kendall sighed. "Okay."
"Tank you," she chirped.
He cut up James' chicken for him, as James hid a grin behind his hand.
Logan chuckled and shook his head.
"You're such a good big brother," I cooed to Kendall.
"I know."
James started in on his chicken.
"Good?" Katie asked.
"Very good," James responded.
Carlos grinned. "I bet all that meeting made you hungry."
"You know me - meeting people always helps me work up an appetite."
Katie looked at them. "Meeting peopwe make me sweepy."
James chuckled. "Meeting people gets tiring."
She nodded in agreement.
James kissed the top of her head again.
She smiled and turned to Kendall. "Whewe baby cookie?"
"In Jo's purse," Kendall told her.
"And fwuit puffs?"
"Uhhhh..."
She made a sad face. "No fwuit puffs?"
"I have some in my purse," I told Katie.
She smiled. "And nana cookies?"
I pulled out the different snacks from my purse.
"Whoa," Carlos said. "How many snacks does she need?"
Katie huffed. "I wike vawiety."
"I see..." Carlos replied, eyes wide.
She nodded and pointed to her yogurt melts.
"You're all set," James told her with a laugh.
She grinned.
We all laughed as she tore into the snacks.
Katie offered James a yogurt melt.
He grinned and took one.
She looked up at him expectantly and didn't notice the face Kendall made.
He swallowed it without too much difficulty. "Not bad," he said with a nod.
"You're kidding me!" Kendall cried.
Katie turned to him, eating another yogurt melt.
James shook his head. "It tasted just fine to me."
Kendall snatched one up and ate it.
"Hey!" Katie cried. "That's mine!"
I grinned at Kendall. "Sorry you did that?"
He cringed. "Oh yeah..."
Carlos and Logan cracked up as he made a face at the taste.
James grinned. "Take it like a man, dude!"
"It's so bad!" Kendall jumped up and ran to the sink, turning the water on and sticking his tongue under the faucet.
Katie giggled like crazy.
"If I could eat it, so can you!" James called after him.
Kendall whined.
James cackled.
"Is it really that bad?" Logan asked.
"You have no idea!" Kendall hollered.
"Can I try one, Kat?" Logan asked her.
She nodded and picked one up, gently placing it in his hand.
He popped it in his mouth, and a second later, cringed. "That's soooo bad!"
"I told you!" Kendall cried.
"Eeeewww..." Logan groaned.
Katie handed one to Carlos. "Hewe."
He looked at us with a scared look, but put it in his mouth. "Ohmigosh...that's horrible..."
"Can I have another one?" James asked Katie.
"Suwe!" She handed him one.
He popped it in his mouth.
Logan and Carlos made a face.
James just smirked at them.
"How are you eating that?" Kendall demanded. "It's awful!"
"Tastes just fine to me," James said with a shrug.
"You're weird."
He shrugged again, just as a couple of girls walked into the kitchen.
"There you are!" one of them cried. "Awwww! Is that your friend's sister? You're such a sweetheart!" She placed a giant kiss on James' cheek.
Katie looked up at her. "Who you?"
"One of James' friends," the girl said sweetly.
"Oh. Want mewt?"
"Sure!"
Katie beamed and handed her one.
She slid it into her mouth, and then gagged.
"How come everyone thinks the melts taste so bad?" James wanted to know.
"How come you're the only one, besides Katie obviously, that thinks they taste okay?" Kendall retorted.
He shrugged. "No idea."
The girl sneered. "You may be awesome in bed, you have horrible taste in food."
Katie looked at him curiously. "Jamie go bed?"
The girl smirked, and then she and her friend left the room.
"Jamie have chicky in bed? Kat in bed? Or cookie in bed?" she asked, looking completely confused.
Logan and Carlos burst out laughing.
"One day," Camille said to her, "he's going to have Kat in bed."
"Nice, Cami," I clucked.
Katie looked at her, before turning back to James. "Kat sweep Jamie?"
James gripped the table, his eyes going blank again. Another vision.
Katie watched him curiously.
He came out of it, and the next instant, he had gone under again.
Katie poked him.
A few seconds later, James jolted back to reality. "Sh - I mean, wow..."
"What happened?" Logan asked.
"A - a double vision..."
"We saw...But what happened?"
"The first vision...I don't know what triggered it...the second one made more sense..."
"Okay..."
"The first one was weird...I guess she was about twelve, and she had just walked in on me with...another girl," James explained. "She was really upset and I was comforting her and trying to understand why she was freaking out so much. The second one...well, it isn't for her big brother's ears..."
"I'm leaving the room," Kendall declared.
James nodded, and Kendall headed out.
"She's going to like some really freaky stuff when it comes to sex," James told us all quietly.
"What's that?" Katie asked, staring up at him cutely.
James' eyes widened.
"Jamie, what sex?"
I could see James fighting furiously against another vision. I scooped Katie up and carried her out to Kendall.
"Jo, what sex?"
"Not something you need to worry about yet," I told her quickly. "It's a big people word."
"But it's a wittle wowd."
"I know, but it has a big people meaning."
"Teww me."
"Not yet, sweetie."
"Hi, Kenny," she said as we approached him.
"Hi, Katie-Kat," he greeted her.
"She's asking questions," I told him. "About S.E.X. And it sent James into a third vision."
His eyes widened. "She's not supposed to ask about that yet!" he whined.
Katie blinked at him.
"I know, I know."
She reached for him.
Kendall took her from me.
"Kenny, what sex?"
"You're too young to be asking that," Kendall groaned.
"Can you show me?"
I busted out laughing as Kendall stuttered out a "N-n-n-n-no!"
"Why not?" Katie whined.
"It's not something you show people. It's private."
Katie paused and then looked down, pointing to her area.
"Something like that," Kendall admitted.
She cocked her head. "What happens?"
I cackled. "Have fun explaining it to her."
He glared at me, before turning back to her. "Uhhh.."
"Does it huwt?" she asked.
"Nope."
"It no huwt?"
"For you it will," I told her gently. "It hurts girls."
Her eyes widened. "Me no have sex."
Kendall nodded. "Good."
Katie looked up at him. "No sex with diapew, wight?"
"Right. You're too young for it. It's a big people thing."
"Kay."
We both nodded.
"I go back to Jamie now?"
"Sure."
She smiled.
Kendall carried her back into the kitchen, and handed her to James.
"Hi, Jamie. I no have sex," she informed him.
"I'm glad to hear that," he replied, laughing a little.
She nodded. "It huwts."
"Ahhhh..."
"Dwink?"
"Sure. What do you want?"
"Juice!"
"Okay." James looked at me. "Do you have any in that monstrous purse of yours?"
I rolled my eyes and pulled her sippy cup out of my purse. I grabbed the grape juice out of my parent's fridge and poured some into Katie's cup, before handing it to her.
"Tank you."
"You're welcome."
She started drinking her juice.
James cuddled her.
She leaned into him.
James smiled contentedly.
The girls came back.
Katie looked at them.
We all turned to face them.
Katie stopped drinking and lowered her sippy cup. "What want?"
The girls stopped in front of James.
"We want you to come upstairs with us," one of the girls said to him suggestively.
"No," Katie told them. "My Jamie."
"How about sharing?" the other girl suggested to Katie.
"No! Mine!"
James nodded. "I'm her Jamie," he told the girls.
"That is seriously weird," the first girl informed him.
"You'we weird," Katie informed her.
"I am not!"
"Awe too!"
"How am I weird?"
"You dwess funny."
"How?"
Katie sighed. "You'we dwess is ugwy. You need hewp."
The girl sniffed, and marched out of there.
"Bye!" Katie waved.
The girl kept on walking.
Katie stared after her. "Bitch."
"Katie!" Kendall gasped.
"What?" she asked cutely.
"You don't say that word! It's a very, very bad word!"
Her eyes filled with tears and her lower lip trembled.
James hugged Katie tightly.
She started crying.
James looked at Kendall reproachfully.
Kendall looked helpless. "What? It's not like I wanted her to cry. I was just trying to tell her she can't say that. She's a little girl, she cries easily."
"I know," I patted his arm. "James just can't stand seeing her cry."
Katie sniffled and cried quietly in James' arms.
He stroked her hair, murmuring reassuringly to her.
"Where did you hear that word?" Kendall asked her softly.
"Wots of peopwe," she answered, wiping her eyes.
James kept on stroking her hair.
Katie pushed away a little and sat up fully.
"Feeling better?" Camille asked her.
She nodded.
"Good."
"What ewse we do?" she asked me.
"Well...we can always play a game."
Her eyes lit up a little. "What game?"
"Candy Land?"
"I wove that game!"
I grinned.
"I caww bwue!"
We all laughed.
"What?"
James just kissed the top of her head again, grinning too.
"What?" she asked again.
"You're so cute," he gushed.
She giggled.
"I'll go get the game," I volunteered.
"Alright," Kendall said, smiling.
"How's this going to work?" Carlos asked. "There's only 4 pieces."
Katie looked at him. "They'we gingewbwead men!"
"I guess three of us play with her," James said with a shrug.
"We could always be on teams," Logan suggested.
"Okay," Camille agreed at once. "I call Logie's team!"
"Okay. So, you and I on one team. Jo and Kendall. Katie and James. And Carlos gets his own piece- sorry," he said, seeing Katie's look. "He gets his own gingerbread man."
Katie nodded in satisfaction.
We all smiled and gathered around the table tightly.
"I go fiwst!" Katie chimed.
"Says who?" Kendall teased.
"The instwuctions. I the baby, I go fiwst."
"Sounds good to me," James said cheerfully.
Katie grabbed the blue gingerbread man. "Pick."
Kendall grabbed the green one, Logan grabbed the red one, and Carlos grabbed the yellow one.
Katie put hers and James' gingerbread man on the starting space.
I shuffled the cards and placed them on the table where everyone could reach.
Katie grabbed one. "I win!"
"What?" we all said together.
She showed us the card. "I go castwe. I win!"
Our eyes all widened. That had to be the shortest game of Candy Land ever.
She beamed and moved the blue gingerbread man to the castle. "We win, Jamie!"
James grinned and held up her hand in his, signaling victory. "We're triumphant!" he roared.
Carlos pouted. "That's so unfair."
Kendall picked up the cards. "You're not allowed to shuffle anymore," he told me.
"It's not my fault she picked the card!" I cried. "I want a new partner. I get Camille!"
Logan looked at Kendall. "I guess we're partners now."
Kendall made a face. "Don't ever say that to me again..."
"I want Kit-Kat!" Carlos cried.
"She's mine!" James cried. "But we you can partner with us."
"But then there will be an extra gingerbread man," Camille pointed out. "He'll be fine. Maybe he'll win this time."
"Maybe..."
Kendall shuffled the cards and placed them back down.
Katie smiled happily and picked up a card. "Two puwpwes."
James moved the gingerbread man to the second purple.
"You'we tuwn," she told me.
I picked up a card. "One green."
Camille moved our gingerbread man to the green space.
Kendall picked up the next card. "One red," he pouted.
"Why are you pouting?" I asked. "You passed me and Cami."
"I'm not in front."
Logan face palmed. "Carlos, do you want to be Kendall's partner?"
"No. I'm gonna win all by myself," he declared.
Logan groaned.
Carlos picked up a card and pouted. "One Purple."
James grinned. "Sucks for you."
Katie picked up another card. "I win!"
"What?" we all turned to look at her again.
She had the castle card again.
"We win!" James yelled.
She clapped.
"I can't play with you two anymore," Kendall pouted, arms crossed.
Katie looked at him. "Aww, Kenny. Want mewt?"
"No thanks," Kendall said with a shudder.
"Fwuit puff? They'we good."
"Sorry, Kit-Kat, I don't like them."
She paused. "Nana cookie?"
He shook his head again.
She sighed. "Fine. I quit."
James chuckled and kissed the top of her head again. "What should we do now?"
Carlos pouted with Kendall. "How does she keep winning?"
"She's lucky?"
"Obviously!"
"Come on, let's go watch a movie or something," I interrupted.
"There's a party going on," Kendall reminded me.
"So? We can watch something up in my room."
"You don't want to mingle with people?"
I shrugged. "Not really. I'm getting tired of people asking me stupid questions."
"But what about showing off Kat's cuteness?" Logan asked.
I sighed. "Okay. Let's go."
Katie looked up at us.
James stood up with her in his arms.
"Whewe go?"
"We're going to go show you off."
She blinked at him.
"You're so cute, we can't keep you all to ourselves," James said to her with a huge smile.
She grinned.
"Want to ride on my shoulders?" he asked her.
She shook her head.
"Okay."
We headed into the living room.
James immediately began chatting with people, introducing Katie.
"She's so cute," they gushed.
"Right?" James agreed happily. "She's adorable."
"We had no idea you had a daughter."
"Oh, she's not my daughter," James assured them, looking a little traumatized by the idea. "She's Kendall's baby sister."
"Oh. Now that you mention it, I can kinda see the resemblance."
James narrowed his eyes a little. "Uh huh...it sure is uncanny, isn't it?"
Katie looked between them.
James offered them a chipper smile, before moving on. "We're going to find some smarter people to talk to," he told her.
She giggled.
He tickled her tummy.
She laughed.
He lifted her higher on his hip and she wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder.
The next couple hours were spent talking and introducing Katie to people.
Katie ended up falling asleep in James' arms.
James kept her in his arms the entire evening, smiling and talking quietly with people, stroking Katie's hair if she seemed to be waking up.
"We should probably head home," Kendall said. "We have to get her room done before she wakes up in the morning."
We all nodded in agreement. We said goodbye to my parents and headed home.
Kendall put Katie in his room, and James offered to stay with her.
I took her dress off, changed her diaper and put her pajamas on her.
She shifted, and then curled up into a warm little ball.
I smiled. "She's so adorable," I said quietly.
"I know," James agreed softly.
Kendall kissed her head and we left the room. We walked into Katie's room and started getting the paint ready. We readied the room, and got started. We painted her room and her bathroom.
Once we were finished, I turned to Kendall. "Do you want to go get presents for her while this is drying?"
"Yeah," he said, nodding.
"Do you need presents for anyone else or did you get all that done already?"
"I already got it done," he replied as he headed out of the room.
"Okay," I said, following behind him.
We went to the store and picked up quite a few things for her. We even called the guys and asked them what they wanted to give her.
Let me tell you this, the girl was already being spoiled.
We paid for everything and went home. Once we got there, we wrapped all her presents and stuck them under the tree, before going upstairs to finish her bedroom and bathroom.
It was going to be a long night. But it was going to be worth it.
Katie was going to be so happy.
