Chapter 12: Sick
Logan laid down on the bed in his room. It was too stiff and smelled to sterile for him to really relax. He knew he had to be here though. He was infected with the plague and didn't want anyone else to get sick. Laying down was all he could do at the moment. He had been in the hospital for almost three days now and his condition was getting progressively worse. He was coughing up blood and he was getting weaker. Detectives were working with the hospital to find a cure for him, but it didn't seem like they were going to get real answers anytime soon. Logan knew there was a chance he would beat this on his own though. He had been right when he told Carlos that people weren't has health conscious back in medieval times. People were more health conscious now though. He was more health conscious since he was a doctor. Logan knew he had to beat this for the girls. He couldn't leave them. He had to get better for the girls and for Carlos. He needed to be there for them. He loved his girls very dearly. He would give anything to see them right now.
Logan wasn't going to give up fighting. Logan wasn't going to give up on life because he had three very good reasons to live and get better. He had to get better for Carlos and the girls. He would get better for them and be a better father and husband. He was going to be a better person if he got better. He would take care of his family and be there for them.
The door on the other side of the room opened and Logan saw his nurse, Cassie, walk into the room. Cassie was a tall blonde he had seen around the hospital a few times before. He must've made an impression on her, since she seemed to be the only nurse who talked to him. She tried to make him comfortable, even though he was laying here dying.
"How are you feeling Dr. Mitchell?" Cassie asked.
"Like shit," Logan said honestly. Cassie smiled behind her mask and walked over to him. She took his temperature and made Logan a bit more comfortable.
"Any updates?" Logan asked.
"Not that I am aware of," Cassie said. Logan started to cough and Cassie quickly grabbed a tissue and wiped the blood from his mouth. Logan fell back on to the bed. It hurt to cough. He was in a lot pain right now, he hated this. Logan laid back on the bed trying to get comfortable.
"I'll be back later to check in on you," Cassie said.
"I'll be here," Logan joked. Cassie just nodded her head. She knew him joking was his way of trying to ease the situation, which he knew was almost hopeless.

Adam was at his locker getting things ready for his morning classes. He heard someone walk up next to him. A smell hit his nose and he wrinkled his nose as he turned and looked at Damien.
"New cologne?" Adam asked covering his nose with his hand. Just the smell of it made him want to gag. It was so strong.
"Uh yeah, is it that bad?" Damien asked.
"It's just really strong," Adam said taking a step back from Damien.
"Sorry," Damien said.
"I know your dating Jake now, but it's a few sprays not the whole bottle," Adam said covering his nose.
"Don't worry about him Damien, he's just got a sensitive nose," Jake said as he walked up to the two with Cooper beside him.
"I do not," Adam said. Jake stopped beside Damien and Cooper walked over to Adam. Adam crossed his arms over his chest as he glared at his older brother.
"You do too," Jake said, "I don't smell anything," he added as he looked at Damien. He leaned in closer and sniffed. "Oh," he said smiling.
"I've never heard you complain when I wear cologne," Cooper said.
"That's cause yours smells good," Adam said.
"Hey," Damien said glaring at Adam.
"Don't listen to him he's nuts," Jake said to Damien.
"I am not it stinks," Adam said shaking his head.
"Does not," Jake assured Damien.
"He's your boyfriend he has to lie, I'm your friend and only a friend can be brutally honest," Adam said.
"Well I am not trying to get your approval," Damien said sticking his tongue out at Adam. Adam just rolled his eyes as they bell rang.
"Come on Coop let's go," Adam said turning around. Cooper said goodbye to Jake and Damien and followed Adam down the hall.
"What's with you?" Cooper asked.
"Nothing," Adam said, "I did not like the smell of his cologne," he said shrugging.
"You've been acting a bit strange lately," Cooper said.
"I have not," Adam said defensively.
"Yes you have," Cooper said.
"I have not," Adam snapped.
"Ok you haven't," Cooper said putting his hands up in surrender and backed off. He didn't want to upset Adam.
"Sorry Coop," Adam sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
"It's ok Addie, you're under pressure with the auditions coming up, plus you won['t even find out if you got the part until we come back," Cooper said.
"Yes, thank you Coop," Adam said smiling. He leaned in pecked Cooper on the cheek. "I'll see you later," he said as he turned and walked away.

Lilly was sitting in her English class. She couldn't focus on what her teacher was saying about Shakespeare. Her mind was elsewhere. She was thinking about Logan. She was still regretting everything she had said to him. She had been mad at him for leaving and wanted him to hurt like she had.
The last few days just seemed to pass by in a slight daze. The only time she wasn't thinking about Logan was when Leora and Kyle were around talking to her. They seemed to keep her grounded these last few days. She didn't know what she would do without the Knight twins. They were great friends.
The bell rang and Lilly gathered her things. She made her way to her locker and shoved her bag into her locker. She started down the hallway towards the cafeteria.
"Lil," Leora said as she walked up to her.
"Hey Leora," Lilly said.
"You ok?" Leora asked.
"Yeah," Lilly said nodding her head. It was a lie, but she didn't want to admit what was going through her head right now. She didn't want to burden Leora with her thoughts.
"You've gotta stop beating yourself up Lilly," Kyle said from her other side. Lilly almost jumped as she looked to her other side and saw Kyle there.
"God you are quiet," Lilly said shaking her head.
"I'm a ninja," Kyle said jumping head and striking a ninja posed with his arms in front of him. Lilly and Leora laughed and shook their heads at him.
"Well you're one horrible ninja," Jayda said pushing Kyle from behind. "You couldn't even hear me," she added grinning when Kyle caught his balance.
"That's cause you're like a super ninja," Kyle retorted.
"Damn straight and it's about time you realize that Knight," Jayda said. Leora laughed and the four made their way to the cafeteria. They got their lunch and sat down together like they had been for the last few days. They all started talking.
Lilly tired to focus on the conversation, but she kept thinking about Logan. She wasn't dumb, she knew there was a chance he might not get better. She wanted him to and she wanted to apologize for what she had said. She just wanted him home again.

Kendall paced back and forth in his and James' bedroom. He had taken the afternoon off from work. James had bought the pregnancy test and he had taken it. He and James were waiting for it to be ready.
"Kendall calm down," James said from his spot on the edge of the bed.
He was curious as to what the test said, but he was more worried about how Kendall would react if it was positive. Sure, they were equal partners in their marriage, but Kendall had never intended on getting pregnant. Kendall had always made that clear to James early on and James didn't care about that. He loved carrying their kids. He wondered how Kendall would take the whole pregnancy if he was pregnant.
"I'm sorry Jamie," Kendall said as he walked over to the bed. He sat down next to the brunette.
"Look Kendall you're not going to be alone," James said placing his hand on Kendall's arm. He turned to face him. "I've been through this and I will help you if you are," James said.
"I know Jamie," Kendall said.
"What are you gonna do if you are? I mean you want to go through?" James asked.
"Like I said this is our baby, we're going to raise it like we did with the other four," Kendall said.
"Are you sure?" James asked, "I mean you've never…" he trailed off.
"I know, but I won't abort and we can't put it up for adoption," Kendall said. James smiled and nodded his head. He leaned in and pecked the blonde on the lips as Kendall's phone beeped.
"It's time," James said. Kendall nodded his head.
They both stood up and made their way into the master bathroom. They both walked over to the sink where Kendall had set the test. They both looked at it and saw the little plus.
"We're having a baby," James said slowly.
"Wow," Kendall said looking down at his stomach. He placed his hand on his still flat stomach. Everything just became real. He had a life growing inside of him. This was a first for him. He wasn't sure how this was going to turn out, but he was kind of excited.
"Ken," James said.
"This is real isn't it?" Kendall asked. James smiled and nodded his head. "I guess we'll have to tell the kids now," he said.
"When Jake gets home from football," James said. Kendall nodded his head. He walked over to the mirror and lifted his shirt up. He looked at his stomach. It still looked flat. He was hardly showing at all. He knew in a few months that wouldn't be the case.
"I am gonna get fat," Kendall said. James laughed and walked up behind Kendall.
"Yeah, but when you hold them it will all be worth it," James said as he wrapped his arms around Kendall. His hands came to rest on his stomach.
"Do you know how hard I worked to stay this thin?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah remember how hard I exercised after Adam was born and then the twins came along? Do you know how hard I worked to get back in shape?" James asked.
"Ok I get it," Kendall said, "you're be there to help me work out right," Kendall asked wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"God if you're like this and you're barely pregnant how are you going to be in a few months?" James asked. Kendall just laughed and turned around to face James.

Adam bit his lip as he walked out to the football field. The team was getting ready for their last game of the season. It was tomorrow and the team seemed ready. He had drove Jake's car back to the school for Jake since he had taken it after school. He knew Jake was expecting to get a ride home from Cooper, but Adam had other plans. Adam walked up to the bleachers and sat down.
There were a few other students here watching, but Adam hardly noticed them. He had something on his mind. He needed to talk to Cooper. He had something important to talk about, he just wasn't sure about how to bring it up to Cooper. He only had a few minutes to think about it. Practice would be over soon and he would have to talk to Cooper.
Adam watched Cooper for a bit until the coach dismissed them. Cooper spotted Adam and ran over to him. Adam bit his lip. He wasn't sure what to say.
"Addie is something wrong?" Cooper asked.
"I need to talk to you, but after you get changed," Adam said.
"Something wrong?" Cooper asked not missing the serious tone Adam had.
"Not here, just go get changed and let Jake know I am here with his car but don't tell him something's wrong got it," Adam said as he moved down from the bleachers to stand in front of Cooper.
"You'll explain everything," Cooper asked.
"Yes, now go," Adam said. Cooper nodded his head and he left. Adam made his way out to the parking lot. He stood against Jake's car as he waited for Jake and Cooper. Fifteen minutes later Jake and Cooper walked out of the school. They both spotted Adam and walked over to him. Adam dug Jake's car keys out of his pocket and held them out to Jake.
"What are you doing here?" Jake asked.
"Sitting at home is boring, I thought I'd come watch you guys," Adam said.
"I take it you don't want to ride home with me," Jake said.
"Not as dumb as he looks," Adam said as he pushed himself off Jake's car. "I'll be home later," he said as he walked over to Cooper's car.
"I'm not gonna lie for you," Jake said.
"Didn't ask you too," Adam said. Jake got into his car and left. Cooper walked over to his car and they both got in.
"You ready to talk?" Cooper asked.
"Yeah, but I don't think you're gonna like what I have to say," Adam said.
"Ok Addie you're scaring me," Cooper said.
"I am not breaking up with you," Adam said quickly, "but you might break up with me after what I have to say," he said hanging his head.
"Adam," Cooper said.
"Can we leave here?" Adam asked looking up at Cooper. Cooper just nodded his head. He knew Cooper knew he was stalling this. Adam really didn't want to bring this up. He was going to put it off for as long as he could. Cooper started driving.
"Anywhere you want to go?" Cooper asked.
"Can we just drive?" Adam asked.
"Ok, but will you talk, you're scaring me," Cooper said.
"Ok, so you know how I've been acting a bit strange lately?" Adam asked.
"If I say yes, you're not going to bite my head off are you?" Cooper asked.
"Cooper this is serious," Adam said.
"Ok yes, I know you've been acting a bit strange, you're not sick or anything are you?" Cooper asked worried.
"Not sick per se," Adam said slowly. He bit his lip hoping Cooper would put things together. He didn't want to come out and say it. Saying it out loud would make this more real.
"Adam stop beating around the bush and just tell me what's wrong," Cooper said.
"Don't make me say it," Adam pleaded.
"Say what?" Cooper asked as he pulled up to a red light. Cooper turned to Adam. "Just tell me," he said. Adam shook his head and looked out the window and then uttered the two words Cooper never expected Adam to say.
"I'm pregnant."

Lilly was sitting on her bed in her room. She was still thinking about Logan. She still felt guilty about yelling at him. Nothing could take back what she had said to him, and now she may never get the chance to apologize. Lilly felt a single tear make it's way down her cheek. Her lip quivered as she fought the urge to just cry.
"You know it's ok to cry if you want, I won't judge you if you do."
Lilly's head snapped up. She looked to the doorway and saw Kyle there leaning against the frame. He seemed clam as ever. Lilly let out a breath.
"Could you be anymore quiet?" She asked him as she wiped her unshed tears away.
"I told you before I am a ninja," Kyle said as he walked into her room. He grabbed her desk chair and brought it over in front of her. He sat down looking at her.
"What are you doing here Kyle?" Lilly asked.
"I just wanted to come see how you were doing, I mean you did seem out of it earlier," Kyle said honestly.
"I'm fine," Lilly said.
"No you're not,' Kyle said moving the chair forward so he was closer to her. "You can't lie to me Lil, I know you too well," he said.
"I yelled at him and told him he wasn't my dad anymore, Ky," Lilly said breaking down. She finally let her tears fall freely. Kyle jumped up and moved to sit beside her. "I was just so mad at him. I wanted to hurt him like he had hurt me and now I'll never be able to apologize to him," she said as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Lilly stop it," Kyle said placing a hand on her knee. "He is going to be fine and you're going to be able to apologize to him and everything will work out," he said firmly.
"Oh don't be so naïve," Lilly snapped.
"Lilly calm down that's you're anger talking," Kyle said softly. Lilly sighed and turned away from Kyle. "Lilly good things happen to good people and you're a good person," he said.
"How do you know?" Lilly asked.
"Know what? That you're a good person? I'm just a great judge of character," Kyle said confidently. Lilly laughed at that. "I just know he's gonna be ok Lilly," he added.
"You're a great friend Ky," Lilly said. Kyle just smiled and nodded his head. Kyle looked at his watch and stood up.
"I have to get going, but just stay positive Lil," Kyle said. He started for the door.
"Kyle," Lilly said stopping him. She stood up and walked over to him. "Thank you," she said. Kyle just smiled. Lilly leaned in and kissed him on the cheek which caused Kyle's face to go red.
"No problem Lil," Kyle said. He turned around again and started for the door only to walk right into the doorframe.
"Are you ok?" Lilly asked her eyes going wide.
"I'm fine, I gotta go," Kyle said as he left her room. Lilly laughed and shook her head. She hoped Kyle got her message soon. She knew he could be dense at times. Lilly sighed as she walked over to her bed and sat down.
A thought occurred to her. She wanted to see Logan. She knew Carlos would never let her go if she asked him. She would have to lie and be quick.

Kendall and James were in the kitchen trying to decide what to do for dinner. They were also thinking about tell the kids about Kendall's pregnancy. They weren't sure how the kids would take the news. They were just waiting on Jake and Adam to get home.
"What are we going to tell them?" James asked.
"What we told Jake when he was one and him and Adam when they were three and four," Kendall said.
"I suppose," James said nodding his head. They heard the front door open. They shared a look before they walked out to the hallway where Jake was coming in.
"Hey Jake," Kendall said.
"Hey dad," Jake said as he shut the door.
"Where's Adam," James asked.
"Do you have to ask?" Jake asked.
"When will he be home?" James asked.
"He said later," Jake said.
"We'll just have to tell him later," Kendall said.
"Jake living room, we've got something to tell you, Ken go get the other two," James said. Kendall nodded his head. He headed upstairs and got Kyle and Leora and made them go down to the living room. They both joined Jake on the couch.
"Are we in trouble?" Kyle asked.
"Why? Should you be?" James asked looking at Kyle.
"I haven't done anything," Kyle said, "but why else would you have us all here?" he asked.
"Where's Adam?" Leora asked looking for her other brother.
"Where do you think," Jake asked.
"Cooper," Kyle said. Jake nodded his head.
"Ok look we have something we need to tell you," James said cutting his kids off. They all stopped talking and looked at Kendall and James. "Kendall," James said looking at Kendall.
"Ok look, I don't know any other way to say this than we're expecting," Kendall said.
"A baby?" Leora asked. James and Kendall nodded their heads.
"You know you'd think I'd be shocked, but I'm not," Jake said.
"Yeah, me either I mean I saw the test in the garbage in the bathroom," Kyle said.
"Yeah," Kendall said. Leora looked at James waiting for his confirmation. All four of the kids knew that James carried them all.
"Not me this time," James said looking over at Kendall.
"Dad?" Leora asked. Kendall nodded his head.
"What did you mean you saw the test Kyle? We used our bathroom not yours," James said turning to Kyle.
"I saw the pregnancy test in the bathroom when I knocked the garbage can over. There was a positive test in there," Kyle said.
"Well it wasn't ours," James said looking at Jake and Leora. They both put their hands up.
"Don't look at me I've not even allowed to date," Leora said.
"I just started dating Damien, besides I'm not ready for sex," Jake said.
"Well there is someone we know who's had sex," Kyle said slowly. Everyone fell silent. A car was heard pulling into the driveway. Kendall was the first to react. He jumped up.
"I am going to kill him," Kendall growled.
"You can't kill him he's our son," James said as he jumped up as well. He grabbed Kendall's arm and stopped him.
"I am not talking about Adam," Kendall growled.
"Jake," James said as he stepped in front of Kendall to keep him from going outside.
"Warn Adam, on it, I know the drill," Jake said, "I'll send him down the street for you to get him later," he said as he ran past the two.
"Kyle Leora," James said. The two walked past them as well and stopped at the door. They knew to make sure Kendall didn't get past them. James dragged Kendall back into the living room.
"James," Kendall said warningly.
"Look Kendall, we are going to calmly talk to him," James said.
"James did you not hear what Kyle said it was a positive test," Kendall said his anger getting the better of him.
"I know, but there are such things as false positives, we'll have to get him an appointment, and if he is there's nothing we can do about it," James said.
"We were too busy worrying about Jake, we weren't paying that much attention to Adam," Kendall said pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I know, but there's nothing we can do now," James said.
"How could he be so irresponsible though? We taught him better than that," Kendall said.
"Kendall calm down, we don't' even know what happened. I mean accidents happen, look at us, only one of our kids was planned and then that didn't quite turn out," James said. Kyle and Leora was the only pregnancy Kendall and James had planned, but they didn't plan on having twins.
"What are we gonna do?" Kendall asked as he sat down on couch.
"We are gonna go talk to our son, and let him know we'll be there for him like your mom was there for us," James said placing a hand on Kendall's shoulder. Kendall sighed and nodded his head.
"Uh as much as I hate to ruin the moment, I talked Adam into going over to Uncle Carlos' but he had Cooper go with him," Jake said as he walked into the room.
"Kendall can I trust you to be calm?" James asked.
"Yes," Kendall said, "we were them after all," he added. James nodded his head. This was going to be a long night.
So yeah there you go, what you all have been waiting for. I just want to say I origianlly planed this as Adam being the only one pregnant, but then I was gonna have James but then it seemed perfect to mix things up and make it be Kendall. I hoped you all liked this. Review and let me know what you liked or waht you didn't like.
Always
