The concert went well and Katie had a blast. Once it was over, Katie waited in her dressing room for a bit as the guys cooled down and changed. Once everything was loaded up they headed to a hotel nearby to unload their things. Katie would stay the night at the hotel and return home over the weekend, once it was time for the tour to continue. Despite both of them being tired, they got a little busy before turning in for the night.

After a fun filled weekend, it was time to hit the road. Katie said goodbye to everyone and then headed on her way back home. She finished up the weekend in relaxation before returning to work on Monday. She was in a great mood and it reflected throughout the school. The whole facility was a calm environment in general, never a stressful moment; everyone was friends and got along but today and the rest of the week was different. Her happy mood lasted for a few weeks before it started to fade and she felt a little sluggish. Despite no changes in her diet and more than enough rest, she was feeling sluggish and decided to go to the doctor to make sure nothing was wrong.

After a few simple tests, it was confirmed that she was pregnant again. After the birth of the twins, Kendall was open to having more children. The twins were an accident and not planned at all but they were loved all the same. Not quite ready to start a family just because of their crazy schedules, they decided to continue building the family now to avoid huge differences in age or financial problems in the future. She kept the news to herself for now, in another couple months and she would tell him then. Her primary doctor said she was healthy and there were no major concerns any more now that her previous condition was gone. She made an appointment with her obstetrician anyway just to check in. He gave her a clean bill of health as well and scheduled to see her net month.

Kendall was none the wiser although he spent a lot of time under fire from his buds when they left Connecticut. Kendall had gotten a little too loud and excited and Logan was right next door. It was all in fun of course and soon died down but once they found out Katie was pregnant again, no doubt it might start back up again. Katie decided to surprise herself and Kendall but not knowing what they were having. It'd be a long wait but well worth it. She hadn't even started showing yet and was full of activity still and just kept it to herself for the time being. She wouldn't be able to hide it forever obviously but she'd let everyone know when it was no longer feasible to hide it. She didn't want people buzzing over her and wanted to keep things running smoothly; her doctor said she was fine and could do as she pleased.

She was pregnant through the winter and had a due date of early May so her baby bump was pretty easy to hide once she did start showing. She was growing at a fast pace and while the doctor knew what she was having, Katie still had no idea but she wondered if she was having another set of twins! She shook it from her mind and just kept shopping for anything knew that she needed. The twins were 2 years old now and no longer needed their cribs and bassinets; if Katie needed to use them, they were available. If she did have a boy though, she would need a whole new wardrobe. She bought a few pieces of newborn clothing for boys just in case but didn't wouldn't go overboard until she knew for sure.

Katie did her shopping on her own time and kept everything under wraps. But despite Katie's age of 27 and her personal life in full swing, her mother still found reasons to go into Katie's room. Naturally, she found the newborn clothes, the diapers of all sizes and other hints. She was ecstatic about the idea of another grandchild but as much as she wanted to jump to a conclusion, she didn't. She would wait as long as she could until Katie decided to come out. She didn't have to wait long though, Katie told her parents fairly quickly after her third month. She needed help getting things together but she swore her parents to secrecy; she didn't want it getting around yet.

Kendall completely missed thanksgiving and because of his schedule, he wouldn't be home until just before Christmas. None of the guys liked that idea but they didn't have a choice, with Kendall needing several months out of the year at home to help care for his kids, any time that he did have to spend on the road, was taken by any touring, interviews and photo shoots that their publicists and managers could fit in. They were on their way back to California now with one more show to do in Las Vegas before heading back to LA. Kendall had booked a flight a few weeks back to take the first one out when he returned but that was before this last show was scheduled. He cancelled his flight and pushed it down to the next morning. He wouldn't be back in California until midnight so he wouldn't get too much of a chance to sleep before then.

It was mid day when he finally returned to Connecticut and naturally no one was home, except for the nanny. He said hello to his girls and spent some time with them, listening to all the new words they learned while he was gone. The house was decked out in Christmas decorations every where he looked, giving him a cheery feeling. Christmas was in 3 days and he couldn't wait to spend it with everyone. Right now, he just wanted to sleep. He told the nanny to take the girls out for a while so he could catch a few Z's and handed her some cash for the adventures. The nanny agreed and gathered all of the girls things and left. Kendall didn't even make it upstairs and just crashed on the couch. He was sound asleep for what felt like only a few minutes when he was woken up 3 hours later by the nanny returning with the girls. She would be leaving in a few short minutes as soon as Katie's dad came home.

Kendall didn't want to be awake but he didn't have much of a choice. His daughters ran as best they could to their daddy and climbed all over him. He couldn't say no to them even if he wanted to and he tackled them lightly, tickling them. The bond they shared was strong despite their long time apart. Kendall was in full swing when Mr. Pryszweic came through the door. Kendall greeted him with the utmost respect, standing up at attention as he said hello. Katie's dad waved back and went to his room to get settled in. With two adults home, the nanny took her leave for the day, saying farewell to Kendall and the girls. Although tired, he spent the evening with the twins by watching a movie.
Katie came in through the garage, her hands full with supplies; her dogs charged in after her, heading straight to the kitchen to get water. They jumped around, trying to get her attention to let her know that their bowls were empty and needed filling. She acknowledged them and continued to put away her equipment. She could hear the movie on in the background and soon remembered that Kendall should be coming home soon, if he wasn't already. She looked over the counter to see the familiar blond head resting on the couch arm. Cinderella was playing on the screen and the girls were at full attention.

Katie tiptoed over, to see Kendall sleeping. He had the girls' sippy cups on his lap as well as crayons, coloring books and a roll of paper towels that had been unraveled. She bent over the couch and gave him a kiss on the forehead. He woke up almost immediately with a look of shock as he jolted but soon lay back down noticing Katie's smiling face.

"What are you smiling about? Miss me that much?"

"Of course I did. I thought about you everyday."

"So did I. I'm so glad I'm home with my girls."

"I see that. Looks like you all had a fun time, the living room is a mess."

"What…? Oh…sorry about that, I figured they'd be into the movie. I never watched Cinderella before and it was interesting." he said trailing off.

"Really now?" She said with a laugh.

"What's so funny?" he asked

"A 27 year old man enjoyed watching Cinderella! Don't worry, its more cute then anything. You're such a good daddy." she smiled "The movie is almost over, help me feed them?"

"Sure." he replied as he got up.

He grabbed what he could and rolled up the paper towels and headed to the kitchen as Katie prepared some pre-made toddler food from the pantry. Both parents kept on eye on the twins, looking up every so often. Katie's dad came out, wanting his own dinner but helped out slightly reluctantly by watching the kids and helping Kendall put them in their high chairs. Katie's dad was oddly quiet and Kendall figured it was just because he was stressed out or in a bad mood, neither was uncommon so he stayed quiet as well. Kendall still had no idea about Katie's pregnancy and her father was just trying to stay quiet so as not to ruin the surprise.

It was her mother she had to worry about, she couldn't stay quiet for more than a few minutes. She always let out secrets or gossip about anything. She wouldn't be home for another couple hours so they would have enough time to care for the twins and then head upstairs to be alone. Kendall was obviously tired from being overworked and all he wanted was to sleep for day. He hadn't slept very well the past few weeks and he hadn't gotten any sleep the last 2 nights, only catching a half hour to an hour here or there. Katie decided to wait until he was well rested before delivering the news. She had an appointment later in the week and she wanted Kendall to go if he wanted to.
With the twins in bed and everything cleaned up, Katie went upstairs to find Kendall already sound asleep. She had some work to do and not wanting to wake him, she did it in her downstairs office. Her mom came in quite loud and both her and her father tried to quiet her down.

"Kendall's sleeping!"

"Oh he's home? Did you tell him about the baby?!"

"SHUSSSSHHHHHHHHHH! NO! He is way to tired. I'll tell him in the morning when he's fully awake. He needs to sleep right now, he looks terrible; he spent the last few days of tour running around for interviews and mini shows and didn't get much sleep."

"Oh. Ok. I'm just so excited for the two of you and I cant wait until he knows!" her mom said happily.

"If you don't keep your voice down he's going to find out now!" she hissed.

Katie stayed up doing all the work she needed to do and went to bed shortly after her mom turned in at about 1am. Her and her mom talked quietly in Katie's office for a little bit about the new baby and all, just making plans and showing all kinds of excitement. Katie was tired and she headed off to bed, Shadow following her up the stairs. She forced him to sleep in the hall instead of in the room to keep things quiet. Shadow didn't mind, and curled up in a corner. Katie slipped into bed and quickly fell asleep, tired out from the day's events.
