A/N: Another update for you all! How exciting is that!? ;)

Well, this chapter is going to be the calm before the storm. This is going to be more interaction with Katie, and Carlos meeting Mrs. Knight. Next chapter will be with James and Logan, and drama to ensue.

I do want to thank you all for your wonderful reviews! It really keeps my fire going to keep on writing. There won't be many more chapters to this, sadly. But who knows, I might come up with a twist you all are not expecting!

I do not own Big Time Rush. 'Nuff said.

Kendall...

The one good thing about this whole situation was that Kendall was close to his mom. Hell, he was a Mama's Boy for lack of a better description. He knew his mom was going to love him no matter what, he was just hoping his coming out wouldn't damage their relationship in any way. How was he supposed to know how she would react? He had always been the model son: good grades, never been arrested, didn't drink (most of the time), didn't do drugs, ect. This is the first big thing that could make her blow up at him, and it scared him that she would. Come to think of it, he couldn't think of the last time she had been mad at him. Thinking about this only made him more nervous...

"Ken, what's up? You've been standing there in that towel for like five minutes. A lot on your mind?" Carlos asked, slipping his jeans and underwear from last night on, but slipping into one of Kendall's t-shirts.

"Just thinking. Worrying is more like it." Kendall mumbled, rummaging through his dresser for clean clothes.

"Worried how your mom will react?" Carlos asked, leaning up against the wall beside Kendall, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Yeah. I know she will love me no matter what, I'm just afraid she will be disappointed. And somehow, that is worse than anything else. I could take her being mad or shocked, but the thought of me letting her down is almost unbearable." He shrugged his shoulders, throwing the pile of clothes he had on his arm onto the bed. Taking the towel off and chucking it into his dirty clothes hamper, Kendall started to dress, feeling Carlos' eyes on him.

"Have I told you yet that you have an amazing ass?" Carlos quipped a smirk tugging at his lips. Kendall craned his neck around to smile at him, giving his bare booty a shake.

"Tease." Carlos growled, crossing the room giving Kendall's ass a light swat. The blonde stuck his tongue out at him, as the Latino sat on the bed.

"Anyway, back to what we were talking about...I don't know your mom, so I can't say how she will react, but I will be right there with you the whole time. If you want me to be there, that is." Carlos said, curling his legs into himself, resting his elbows on his thighs.

"I couldn't imagine having you be anywhere else!" Kendall smiled, pulling his jeans on.

"Good, I'm glad! When are you going to tell her?"

Kendall didn't respond immediately, he just toyed with the hem of his shirt before finally putting it on.

"...Tonight. I don't want to tell her right when she gets home from work. She's going to be exhausted from working a double shift, so I want her to get some sleep before I tell her. And I want her to meet you as a friend of mine, not just introduce you as my boyfriend. Tonight at dinner was when I thought I would do it, and it still feels like the right time to do it."

Carlos nodded, but didn't say anything for a little while, just let Kendall finish getting ready. Once he was all done, Carlos spoke.

"So...I was wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out with James and Logan today?" Carlos wasn't for sure of what his response was going to be, so he braced for the answer to be a no.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea!" Kendall smiled enthusiastically.

"Really?" Carlos asked, a little bit shocked at his quick response.

"Yeah, I have always wanted to get to know them better, so I really love the idea of hanging out with them! Do you have their cell numbers, because I don't think I do." Kendall grabbed his phone, scrolling through the contacts even though he knew he didn't have them. Before that day at the lunch table, Carlos' first day of school, they had never shared a word with eachother. Which was funny, in reality, because Kendall barely knew them and Carlos, yet he revealed his biggest secret to them. He just knew somehow that they were going to be close. Even inseperable, perhaps.

"I have both their numbers, I'll text them quick and let them know. I mentioned something to them yesterday about maybe doing something together, and they said they had nothing planned, and would be awaiting a text from me." Carlos buried his nose in his phone, while Kendall turned to the mirror, running a comb through his hair. He put the comb down, and stared at his boyfriend through the reflection. He took in his raven hair, the soft contours of his face, the way his brow furrowed when he was deep in conscentration and how he held the tip of his pink tongue between his front teeth while texting. His body was fantastic, no doubt from all the surfing he said he did when he lived in California; he was lean and muscled, but his skin was incredibly soft under Kendall's fingertips. He was perfect and he had no idea that he was. Carlos looked up from his phone and saw that Kendall was staring at him. Smiling warmly, he sauntered over to Kendall, wrapping his arms around his waist, pressing his body into Kendall's back.

"I love you." Was all Carlos whispered. Kendall turned around in the boy's embrace, and pulled him into a crushing hug.

"I love you too." Kendall whispered back, pressing his lips against his forehead.

They raced down the stairs, laughing the whole time and when at the stoop, Kendall threw Carlos over his shoulder, and tore into the kitchen. Carlos pounded his fists on the taller boys back screaming for him to let him down, but he couldn't contain the hysterical laughter he had while saying it. Kendall slid to a stop, his breathing heavy from the exertion, seeing Katie at the table with a bowl of cereal and the newspaper. Not looking up from the pages, she mumbled through a mouthfull of cocoa puffs,

"Good morning."

"Katie!" Kendall scolded, setting Carlos down (who immediately poked him in the ribs), "Manners! Mom taught you better!"

"Yeah, and I do recall that Mom advised you to wait to have sex until you were married, but we can see how well that worked out. And that's not counting all the girls you did before you got the guts to come out." She retorted, flipping the page to her newspaper, then bringing her cereal bowl to her lips to slurp up the remained milk. Kendall stood there, his jaw slack and blushing hard.

"How do you know we didn't just cuddle!" Kendall finally reacted, but his cherry red cheeks gave it all away. He would let the mention about all the girls slide. Katie finally turned to look at him, one eyebrow lifted.

"Right. Sure. You cuddled. I might believe you if you weren't such an awful liar, and besides, Carlos is a screamer." She shrugged her shoulders, and turned her attention back to the Politics section of the paper. It was Carlos' turn to go crimson. Kendall knew he couldn't win, so he just grabbed Carlos' hand and led him to the pantry to get some cereal. Once two bowls were filled with fruit loops and milk, they sat down at the table. There was complete silence, save the clanging of metal against ceramic as the boys ate, and Kendall was uncomfortable with it.

"Hey, you got the Saturday comics in there?" Carlos asked. Katie thumbed through the papers and handed the funnies to him with a smile.

"For the record, it makes it less weird Kendall being gay since he is dating you. You I can handle, anyone else...Yeah, I would move out. At least you are funny, and aren't overly smart so you can still be cool." Katie stated, folding her hands in her lap staring at the boy across the table.

"Thanks!...I think." Carlos pondered it for a moment, then shook his head, deciding to not overthink it. It was a Katie-ized compliment, and from what Kendall had let on, those were few and far between out of her lips.

"By the way, when Mom comes home, Carlos and I are just friends. Got it?" Kendall warned, looking directly at his little sister. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Duh! Do you think I'm just going to scream it to her that you are gay as soon as she steps through the door? Carlos is new in town, and you and him are hanging out today. I will say no more than that if she asks. There is no need for her to know that he spent the night, and that you two had very loud sex five times in the course of eight hours. I don't want to give the poor woman a heart attack."

"We weren't that loud!" Kendall quipped, sticking his tongue out at her.

"Dude, you woke me up. You woke up the girl who slept through an earthquake. And I was on the couch. Once Mom does find out about you two, and he spends the night...Yeah, she'll kick you both out. Be good boyscouts and be prepared." She patted Kendall's hand sarcastically. The front door opened and Mrs. Knight stepped into the home, looking exhausted and happy to be home. She barely gave Carlos a second glance, walking around the table, greeting her kids.

"Hi Katie," She said kissing the top of her head, "Hi Kendall," Kiss, "Hi friend of Kendall's I haven't met," Also kissing him on the head. Both of the Knight kids groaned in embarrassment at their mother's gesture to the guest. Carlos simply looked up and smiled sweetly,

"Hi Mama Knight!" He greeted. Jennifer stood back, smirking at the boy.

"This one is a keeper! Where'd you find him, Kendall, because you never need to bring any other of your friends home." Kendall stood up from his chair, Carlos taking his cue and also rising.

"Ma, this is Carlos Garcia. He and his family just moved here from California about a month ago. We met at school, and we are hanging out today." Carlos stretched out his hand for her to shake, but she pulled him into a hug.

"You called me Mama Knight without even meeting me so you get a hug, because you are family now!" Jennifer let the small boy go, before hugging her kids also.

"I'd love to stay down here and talk, but I am exhausted. I'm barely awake now as it is. Good night, or good morning, everyone. Good to meet you, Carlos!" She said waving and heading up the stairs.

"She is so cool!" Carlos squealed once she left.

"Yeah, she is so embarrassing!" Katie huffed, her cheeks still tinted pink from her mother kissing Carlos on the head without even knowing so much as his name.

"Well, she is one of the coolest moms I have met. By the way, Kendall, James texted back and they suggested going to see "Alex Cross" in theatres in an hour, then going out to lunch after that. Sound good to you?" Carlos asked, wrapping his arms around Kendall's waist in a hug.

"Mmmm, as long as I'm with you, I'm good with anything." Kendall stated, burying his nose into Carlos' hair, inhaling his scent deeply.

"Ok, you two, enough cuddling in the kitchen, or I will barf. I had to hear you two do it all night, so just go outside and hug or something. Let me be by myself in peace. I'm planning on doing nothing today, and nothing includes you two leaving. So shoo." Katie said, before she walked into the living room to watch TV. The boys just smiled and shook their heads. Katie was truly one of a kind.

Thank God for that.
