Chapter 8: Mine
Carlos was laying in bed looking at the ring on his finger. It was perfect just like Logan. He had not been expect him to even ask him to marry anytime soon. He and Logan had been together for about sixteen years now and he was shocked. He always thought they would never get married. Strangely he was ok with that as long as they were together. He never thought they would break up, so he was ok without marriage, until now. Now that Logan asked he was excited about it. He looked up as Logan walked into the room. He smiled at his fiancé.
"This ring is perfect Logan," Carlos said.
"I know, when I saw it I thought of you," Logan said walking over to the bed and sitting down next to the Latino.
"I can't believe we're engaged," Carlos said smiling. He really wanted this now. He was excited.
"I know, but it's just the right timing and everything," Logan said.
"Oh boy is it," Carlos said smiling mischievously.
"What do you mean?" Logan asked confused. He knew that smile and that usually meant Carlos had something up his sleeve. Logan could never be sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing with Carlos sometimes. He just knew that nothing was ever boring with Carlos and he liked that.
"I got you a gift," Carlos said suddenly, "this was before you purposed," he said moving to his bedside table. He opened the top drawer and pulled a small bag out. He handed it to Logan. Logan opened the bag and saw tissue paper. He pulled it out and frowned. He picked up the item and smiled as he realized it was a onsie for a baby that said, 'My Daddies love me.' in colorful letters.
"This is really cute but why would we-" Logan stopped his eyes wide as he looked down at Carlos' stomach and then back up to his smiling face. Carlos slowly nodded his head his smile getting bigger, if possible. "Really?" Logan asked his eyes wide and his jaw slack.
"You're going to be a father," Carlos confirmed. Logan smiled and threw his arms around Carlos in a tight hug. He quickly let go and looked down at Carlos' stomach a smile on his face. "Are you sure?" Logan asked as he placed a hand on Carlos' stomach.
"Yeah I went to the doctor the other day, I just got the results today since it wasn't a rush and I bought this cause I was sure I was," Carlos said looking down at the onsie.
"This is just great," Logan said leaning in closer to the Latino and kissing him on the lips.
"You're happy about this?" Carlos asked. Logan nodded his head.
"More than anything," Logan said.
"I was worried you had forgotten and wouldn't be happy," Carlos said, "I mean with my acting career and everything and you being busy managing me, Kendall, and Dak," he said.
"Carlos I just asked you to marry me, nothing you do is gonna drive me away from you now, besides I love your craziness," Logan said smiling sweetly at the Latino.
"I love you," Carlos said.
"I love you too Carlos," Logan said pressing his lips softly to Carlos' in a sweet passion filled kiss.
-All Over Again-
Adam stood there staring for a moment. He avoided looking at Damien. He didn't know what to say. He had just caught his brother kissing his best friend. He looked at Damien who was looking at him.
"Adam," Damien said slowly.
"It's late, I'm tired why don't we call it a night," Adam said as he turned his light off, set the snacks he had brought up down on his dresser and laid down. He didn't know what to do so he was just gonna avoid doing anything.
"So we're not going to talk about it?" Damien asked.
"Good night," Adam said ignoring Damien's comment. He just laid there facing away from Damien. He really didn't know what to say to Damien. This was just so out of the blue for him. He laid there while he heard Damien move around behind him on the floor. He heard the TV turn off and Damien moved some more before getting comfortable.
Adam stared into the darkness thinking about what he had seen. He had seen Jake and Damien kissing. He didn't know what to think. He was so confused right now.
"Adam you awake?" Damien asked after awhile. Adam just laid there not talking. He really didn't want to talk right now. "Adam," Damien tried again. Adam closed his eyes and ignored Damien. He would deal with this later after he had time to think about it some more.
-All Over Again-
James was getting ready for bed and Jett wasn't home yet. He had to stay late for filming some night scenes. James was dreading telling him that he was pregnant. They had agreed to wait for awhile after all. Then there was the fact that it might not even be Jett's. James was so scared that it was Kendall's kid. That thought had no crossed his mind until Kendall had asked if he and Jett were trying. James looked down at his stomach and sighed. What if this was Kendall's kid. What was he going to do?
James didn't know what to think. This was what he wanted. He had wanted another kid for so long. He wanted it and now he had it, but not with the man he was marrying. What would Jett think if this was Kendall's baby. There was a chance that it wasn't Jett's.
James heard the front door open and he jumped up. He walked out of his room and to the top of the stairs. He looked down and saw Jett.
"Jett," he said getting the other man's attention.
"Oh sorry, did I wake you?" Jett asked. James shook his head.
"No I've been waiting up for you," James said.
"What's wrong?" Jett asked walking up the stairs to James.
"I went to the doctor today," James said.
"You're not sick are you?" Jett asked as they walked to their bedroom.
"No not really," James said, "it will only last about nine months really," he said.
"What are you talking about?" Jett asked before his eyes went wide with realization. He looked at James and then down at his stomach. "You're…" he trailed off.
"I'm pregnant," James said nodding his head.
"Isn't this what we wanted?" Jett asked.
"Yeah, but is now the right time for this?" James asked.
"Well since the bun's already cooking we don't have a choice now do we," Jett said smiling softly.
"Not really," James said laughing, "so you're ok with this?" he asked.
"Of course," Jett said, "ever since we talked about carrying the Stetson name on I've been thinking about it. I really want that," he said. James smiled as he felt his heart ache. He knew there was a chance that this baby wasn't a Stetson, it was possibly a Knight like Jake and Adam were.
James laid down while Jett changed into his pajamas. Jett them joined him and spooned behind him like usual, only this time his hand came to rest on James' stomach. James felt bad about this. He wasn't sure what to thin right now.
-All Over Again-
Jake slowly made his way down to the kitchen. He wasn't sure what to expect. He had peeked into Adam's room and saw it was empty. He knew Adam and Damien had to be eating breakfast. He was scared that he had upset dam last night by kissing Damien. He didn't know why it would upset Adam. It wasn't like Adam was dating Damien. They were just friends, unless Adam had a crush on Damien. Jake wasn't sure about that. He didn't talk to Adam much over the last few years. It was a possibility. Jake may have just screw things up between him and Adam.
Jake took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen. He was shocked when saw James sitting alone eating a bowl of cereal and reading the news paper.
"Hey pops where Adam and Damien?" Jake asked.
"Damien went home because Adam is out running," James said looking up at Jake. "He left before anyone woke up," he said pointing to a note on the counter behind him.
"Running?" Jake asked as he sat down at the table. He knew that meant for Adam. It meant he needed time to think something over or he was upset. Adam usually went running in the early morning and left a note. "Why is he running?" Jake asked playing dumb. He knew why, but he didn't want to say.
"I don't know," James said, "I was wondering if you knew what was wrong," he said.
"Well," Jake said slowly.
"I was really hoping you didn't," James sighed, "what did you do now?" he asked.
"Why do you assume I did something," Jake asked.
"Because I know you Jake," James said looking at his son.
"I didn't do anything per se," Jake said.
"What happened last night," James asked. Jake bit his lip and thought about what to tell James. He wasn't sure if he should tell him what happened last night.
"Does Adam have a crush on Damien?" Jake asked finally. He needed to know.
"Um, not that I've noticed but Adam's not up front about things like that though," James said, "why do you ask?" he asked.
"Well last night Adam was getting snacks and Damien and I were talking and we kind of kissed," Jake said deciding to just tell James everything. It was better not to keep things from him. "Adam walked in on us," he added.
"You what?" James asked.
"I don't know what came over me, I mean he was being nice and I was vulnerable after yesterday at school and everything and it just happened," Jake said.
"Now it makes sense," James said.
"I didn't do it on purpose and I wasn't thinking," Jake said.
"You never do," James said.
"I'm sorry," Jake said not even upset at what James had said. He was right Jake never really thought things through.
"I am not the one you need to apologize to," James said.
"I know," Jake sighed. He knew he had to apologize to Adam, if Adam was even upset that is. He wasn't sure just yet. They heard the front door open and close. Jake looked at James scared. He sat up straighter in his chair as he heard muffled music blaring from headphones down the hall.
"Don't even thinking about leaving," James warned him. Jake sighed and fell back in his chair. Adam walked into the kitchen second later drenched in sweat. He stopped when he saw James and Jake. Adam took his ear buds out of his ears.
"Morning," he said walking over to the sink. He grabbed a glass and filled it with water.
"Morning Adam," James said. Jake sat there looking down at the table. He didn't know if Adam was upset or not. "You left early this morning," James said.
"Yeah sorry about that," Adam said, "I haven't gone running in awhile so I wanted to get out early," he said.
"Damien went home," James said.
"Oh," Adam said nodding his head. Jake finally looked up at Adam. He saw his expression was neutral. He couldn't make out what he was thinking at all. That was one thing that Jake hated the most about his brother. He was good at bottling things up, that is until he exploded.
"Adam," Jake said finally.
"What?" Adam asked.
"About last night," Jake started slowly.
"I'm not mad if that's what you're thinking," Adam said, "I mean why would I be?" he asked sounding slightly annoyed.
"I don't know, I thought because he was your friend," Jake started slowly. He was unsure of Adam's reaction yet.
"Yeah he's my friend not my boyfriend," Adam said, "why would I be mad that you kissed him. I mean it's typical Jake, whatever you want you always get it," he said shrugging as if it were nothing.
"Ok you're mad," Jake said pointing at Adam.
"What gave you that idea," Adam said rolling his eyes. He set his empty glass down and walked from the room. Jake sighed and stood up. He followed Adam out of the room. He looked back and saw James sitting there. He knew he was giving him the chance to fix this on his own.
"Wait, what the hell did that mean I always get what I want?" Jake asked confused.
"Oh like you don't know, whatever you want you get. I should've known better than to even think you had changed," Adam said as he started up the stairs.
"I don't always get what I want Adam," Jake said following him.
"Bull shit," Adam said.
"What did I get then?" Jake asked.
"The bigger bedroom, you're captain of any sports team you join, hell you even got a car and I didn't," Adam said stopping and turning on his brother. "And as if that's not enough for you, you take the one thing that's been mine," he said.
"I didn't take anything," Jake said.
"Oh please, I saw you kissing him. I mean you can't just let me have this one thing. All I wanted was one friend that you wouldn't steal from me and you can't even give me that," Adam said shaking his head.
"Adam it's not what you think," Jake started.
"I'm not dumb Jake, I've seen the way you've been looking at him," Adam said shaking his head.
"Ok I will admit he's attractive, but I would never make a move on him he's your best friend," Jake said.
"So what do you call kissing him then? Is that not making a move?" Adam asked annoyed.
"Well yes, but it was an accident," Jake said.
"You can't kiss someone by accident," Adam said. He turned and started down the hall once more. Jake ran after him again. He stopped Adam.
"Adam," Jake started.
"No I am done," Adam said yanking his arm away from Jake. "I am done thingking you can change when you obviously can't. I mean it's like your life's mission to just make me miserable. I honestly can't wait until this coming fall cause then you won't be here," Adam said.
Jake took a step back as if the force of Adam's words hit him. He stood there looking at Adam shocked. He had no idea Adam had felt that way. Sure Jake had resented Adam, but he never thought Adam resented him.
Adam turned and waked into his room He slammed the door shut and Jake heard the lock click. Jake felt tears come to his eyes. He turned and saw James standing at the end of the hallway as Adam's stereo started playing rather loudly.
"He hates me," Jake said quietly. James moved down the hallway to him and pulled him into a hug.
"He doesn't hate you, he's just mad at you and probably Damien," James said.
"Did you hear what he said, he can't wait for me to leave," Jake said.
"He's just upset," James said, "just give him some space and he'll come around," he said.
"what if he doesn't," Jake said, "I've treated him pretty badly before and he's sick of it. I wouldn't be surprised if he never forgave me," he said looking down.
"He will forgive you," James said.
"You don't know that." Jake said.
-All Over Again-
Kendall was walking through the jeweler's with Logan behind him. He had decided Logan would be more help than Carlos would be. He was still looking for a ring for Dak.
"Come on Kendall, Dak really wants his ring," Logan said.
"I know, but I don't want to just get him any old ring," Kendall said. He really wanted Dak to like the ring.
"How about this one," Logan asked pointing to a gold ring with a small diamond on it. Kendall shook his head and they kept looking. After an hour they cam across a ring that Kendall really liked. It was sliver with two two-carrot diamonds set in a small green stone.
"It's perfect," Kendall said. As he looked at the ring he thought about the engagement ring he had bought James in his other life. It was so similar. He shook his head at that thought. There was no going back now. This was the life he was living.
"So this is the ring you want?" Logan asked.
"Yes this is the one. I am sure he will love it," Kendall said. He bought the ring and he and Logan left the store.
"So I heard you and Carlos last night, could you two try and keep it down," Kendall asked.
"Sorry we were celebrating," Logan said, "we're engaged and we're going to be parents," he said smiling.
"I know you're getting married but-wait," Kendall stopped talking and looking at Logan shocked.
"Carlos is pregnant," Logan said nodding his head.
"That's great," Kendall said smiling at Logan. He was happy for his friends but he couldn't help but think of James being pregnant. He knew there was a high chance that he was the father. He wasn't sure if he and James had used protection and James obviously wasn't on the pill.
"Look Kendall, with Carlos and I getting married and having a kid I don't want you to feel like you have to move, we love having you around and you are not going to be rushed to move out," Logan said.
"I've been thinking about moving out since Dak and I are going to want our own space eventually," Kendall said.
"There's no rush though," Logan said.
"Thanks Logan," Kendall said smiling.
