Good friends know what to say to make you feel better. Best friends know the same thing but add humor and humiliation to the situation at hand. ~Me (Emily Matthews)
Pairing(s): Main- Logan/Camille, Minor- Kendall/Jo, Carlos/Stephanie, James/Numerous
When Camille and Logan got back to 2J, Mama Knight and Katie were out at the mall. But, Kendall, James, and Carlos were there. They were sitting on the couch, watching a hockey game, and eating pretzels. They didn't notice when Logan snuck Camille into his room so she could set her bags down. Both Logan and Camille were grateful for that.
"When do you think we should tell them?" Camille asked.
"Well, they're going to figure out that you're living here soon. They should know that you're pregnant before they know that," Logan sighed. "They are going to be ridiculous to tell."
Camille smiled. "I think it'll be fun."
"For you! They're going to pick on me and call me 'daddy' for at least the next week."
Camille gave him a soft kiss. "You're going to have a child calling you daddy until the day you die. Suck it up. Come one, I think the Red Wings were winning!" Camille said, pulling Logan out into the living room. Logan smiled, loving the fact that his girlfriend loved hockey just as much as he did.
Camille flopped down onto the couch next to Carlos, Logan sitting next to her. She grabbed a handful of pretzels and Logan laughed to himself. She couldn't eat normal food, but junk food didn't seem to make her sick.
"What's so funny?" Kendall asked, looking at Logan.
"What? Nothing," Logan said.
Kendall eyed Logan suspiciously before turning his attention back to the hockey game. When it went to commercial, Camille went to get a drink and the three other boys looked directly at Logan.
"What?" he asked.
James smiled. "What happened when we left yesterday?" he asked suggestively.
"Nothing," Logan answered.
"Come on, Logan. We're not idiots. What did you two get up to?" Kendall asked.
"Nothing, we just talked."
Camille came back, stopping to look at the guys. "Why are you guys oggling Logan?" she asked.
"They wanted to know if we had sex yesterday," Logan said.
"Oh. Nope," Camille said, sitting back down.
"Then why was Jo in such a hurry to get us out of here? She said that Camille 'had other plans' for you," Kendall said.
Logan sighed and glanced at Camille. She nodded as she took a sip of her water.
"She did. We needed to talk," Logan explained.
"About what?" Carlos asked.
"About me being pregnant," Camille said, eating another pretzel.
Everyone was silent for a moment before the guys started laughing. Carlos doubled over in his seat, Kendall slapped James on the shoulder, and James looked likehe was about to cry from the laughter. Camille chuckled slightly.
"Guys, we're serious," Logan said.
Kendall finished laughing and wiped away a stray tear from his eye. "Logan, there is no way in hell that you knocked up Camille. There's a better possibility that James would knock up Camille."
"Even though that may be true, it did happen. I really am pregnant," Camille said.
The guys looked at her, and then back at Logan, who looked confused.
"'Even though that may be true.' What is that supposed to mean?" he asked.
"It means that James just looks like the kinda guy that would knock up a girl. You don't. No offense James," Camille said.
"None taken," James replied. "So, you're really pregnant?"
Camille nodded.
"When did you find out?" Carlos asked.
"A couple of days ago. Mrs. Knight, Ms. Mitchell, my mom, and Jo know," Camille said.
"Jo? How the hell could she keep that a secret?" Kendall exclaimed.
"Because she's a good friend!" Logan said.
"Psst, so are we! Dude, why didn't you tell us last night?" Carlos asked.
Logan bit his lower lip. He didn't want to admit to them that he hadn't told anyone because he would have freaked out and had a nervous breakdown. So, he lied.
"Slipped my mind," he said.
James's eyes got wide. "It slipped your mind? How in the hell does the fact that you're going to become a father just slip your mind? I would have been freaking out and telling you guys the minute that I found out!"
"Be that as it may, it simply slipped my mind. Um, is Carlos ok?" Logan asked.
Carlos was currently sitting perfectly still with a huge grin plastered on his face. Suddenly, almost as if Logan's voice pulled him out a trance, he wrapped his arms around Camille.
"Congratulations!" he exlcaimed. He pulled away from her and his eyes showed nothing but happiness. "This is going to be awesome. Hard, most of the time, but awesome! Think about when the kid gets older and can actually play and do things that normal people can do!"
"Carlos, calm down. We don't even know what they're doing with the baby," Kendall said, eyeing Logan suspiciously.
"We're going to keep it," Logan answered, Camille nodding in approval.
"Yes!" Carlos yelled, fist pumping.
Everyone laughed at the Latino's reaction, the hockey game completely forgotten about.
"Who knew you had it in you, Logie?" Kendall said, leaning back against the couch.
"Hey, I knew that I was perfectly able of having kids," Logan said, smiling.
"Yeah, but it was questionable if your girlfriend wanted to continue in the escapades that caused our little baby," Camille joked.
James smiled. "Aww, poor Logan. Insulted by his pregnant girlfriend."
Logan shrugged. "Both her and I know that I was excellent."
"Keep telling yourself that," Camille said, popping another pretzel into her mouth.
That night, Mama Knight decided that she would turn her small office space into a room for Camille. But that Camille would bunk with Katie until the room was ready. Camille got along alright with Katie, but they were shocked at how much they had to talk about. They had gone to bed earlier than everyone else, just so they could have girl time. That left the boys in the living room alone.
"How do actually feel about the baby?" Kendall asked, looking at Logan.
"I'm scared. I'm downright terrified. But, I know that Camille wants the baby just as much as I do."
"We'll be here for you, you know that, right?" James asked.
Logan nodded. "I know."
Carlos moved from the floor to the seat next to Logan on the couch. He put his hand on the smart boys shoulder.
"James is right. We're gonna be uncles!" Carlos said.
Logan smiled. "You know, I wouldn't know what to do without you guys here with me. I'm freaking out."
"Everyone of us would be if we were in your shoes. So, do you want a boy or a girl?" Kendall asked.
"God, I haven't even thought about that," Logan said, his eyes getting wide.
"We should make a baby pool!" James said.
Kendall nodded. "Carlos, go get some paper and a pen!" he instructed.
"A 'baby pool'?" Logan asked.
"Duh. You haven't heard of one before? Everyone bets on the sex of the baby and whoever is right gets some sort of prize. We'll come up with the prize later," Kendall explained.
Carlos came back quickly with a pad of paper and a pen.
"Ok, I'm going to say that it'll be a girl," Kendall said, scribbling his answer down.
Everyone did the same. James said boy, Carlos and Logan said girl.
"Now, we'll wait until you two find out the gender and then we'll decide on a prize. Only, what? Four more months of waiting to find that out," Kendall said.
Logan groaned. "Kendall, please don't rush this."
