I always seem to be starting updates with apologies; it's awful! But I really am sorry for taking so long. My laptop got water damage and it really messed it up. It was extremely difficult to work on updates when my laptop would crash every time I opened up Word...It was also really difficult to write my essays for Uni when that kept happening...

I'm now back at home, I still have a fussy laptop and I have pretty awful internet connection, but I will try my best to deal with it. To try and make it up to you, I have given you a ridiculously long update!

The four of them stayed up a little longer, discussing what they were going to do about this custody battle. But after a while, Carlos could see how exhausted Logan was with it all and knew that it would be best for him to get some sleep.

"Logan," he said quietly, gently squeezing his knee. "You should go to bed."

Logan shook his head, fighting back a yawn, "I can't. There's so much I need to do…"

"It can wait until tomorrow, okay? You need to rest."

Kendall and James both nodded.

"He's right, Loges," Kendall agreed. "Get some sleep and then we'll sort things out tomorrow. Don't worry, okay?"

Logan sighed and looked at Carlos, "Will you…Would you stay with me tonight? Please?"

"Of course," Carlos smiled softly, pressing a kiss to Logan's cheek.

Carlos grabbed Logan's hand and pulled him to his feet.

"Goodnight, guys."

Kendall got to his feet and pulled Logan into a hug, squeezing him tight.

"Everything will be okay, Logan. You'll see."

Logan nodded, mainly just to please Kendall, "Okay."

Kendall sighed, wishing that Logan wouldn't look so sad. He gave him a small smile and then planted a kiss on his forehead before sending him off with Carlos.

Logan paused once he stepped inside his bedroom, staring across the room at the little boy buried beneath the covers. He took a deep breath and felt Carlos squeeze his hand.

"I'm just gonna use the bathroom," Carlos whispered. "Will you be okay for a minute?"

Logan slowly nodded his head, not taking his eyes off his son. Carlos gave his hand another squeeze before he quickly left the room, hurrying to get ready so that he could return to Logan.

Logan let out a heavy sigh and then stripped down to just his t-shirt and boxers – gaining comfort from wearing Carlos' shirt. He quietly walked over to the bed and sat down next to Nate. He carefully reached out his hand and lightly ran his fingers through the boy's dishevelled hair. Nate stirred for a moment but didn't wake.

Logan turned his head when he heard the door open and he gave Carlos a forced smile. Then he got up to go and use the bathroom before they went to sleep.

When Logan returned, Carlos was sitting on the edge of the bed, waiting for him. He smiled and stood up when he saw Logan and he kissed him softly before they got into bed.

Logan got in first, lying on his side so that he could face Nate, and then Carlos slipped in behind him. Logan reached back and grabbed Carlos' arm, wrapping it around himself. Carlos snuggled against the crook of Logan's neck and pressed a couple of comforting kisses to his skin. Logan smiled faintly and linked his fingers with Carlos'. His other hand stretched out to gently stroke Nate's hair again.

Nate started to stir again and his eyelids began to flutter. Logan mentally cursed himself as he saw Nate's eyes start to open and the little boy let out a small, tired groan.

"D-Daddy?" he called out quietly, rubbing his eyes as he blinked awake.

"Yeah, baby. It's me. Just go back to sleep, okay?"

But Nate grinned when he saw Carlos and he pushed himself up onto his knees.

"Carlos! Why you here?"

"He's here to keep Daddy company," Logan told him.

"But you have me, Daddy," Nate frowned.

Logan inhaled sharply and Carlos tightened his hold on him.

"We wanted to have a sleepover," Carlos smiled at the toddler. "Is it okay if I share your bed?"

Nate nodded, "Okay. But don't take my covers."

Carlos laughed lightly, "I won't. I promise."

"Come on, Little Guy," Logan said, opening his arms. "It's time to sleep."

Nate pouted but he lay back down in Logan's arms.

"Good night," Logan mumbled into his hair, kissing the top of his head.

"Night, Daddy. Night Carlos."

"G'night, Munchkin," Carlos smiled. He then turned Logan's head to face him and softly pressed his lips to his boyfriend's, "Good night."

Logan gave him a small smile and squeezed his hand, "Good night."

It had been a while since Logan and Carlos had gone to bed, but Kendall and James were still up and curled together on the couch.

"I still can't believe that Camille would do something like this," Kendall sighed, his eyes staring at the TV in disinterest.

"I feel terrible for Logan."

"He doesn't deserve this."

"He's going to win though," James told him. "I don't see how Camille could possibly win."

Kendall turned in his seat to look at his boyfriend, "Thank you for helping, James. Y'know, with the lawyer. You really didn't have to do that."

"That's okay, I wanted to help out."

Kendall smiled and linked their fingers together, "But, it's just, you've only just met him."

"Kendall, he means a lot to you…and you mean a lot to me. So I want to do this, don't worry about it."

Kendall sighed and found himself lost for words. Instead, he slammed his lips up against James' and moved up onto his knees as he cupped James' cheeks with his hands and kissed him deeply. James smiled into the kiss and grabbed onto Kendall's hips, pulling the blonde into his lap as their kiss became more heated.

The broke apart panting and Kendall hugged his arms around James' neck, leaning his cheek against the brunette's as he caught his breath back.

"Thank you," he whispered.

Then he climbed off James' lap, causing his boyfriend to frown. But then Kendall grabbed James' hands and pulled him to his feet with a smirk.

"I want to thank you properly…" he said, leading him towards his bedroom.

James raised an eyebrow, smirk mirroring Kendall's, "I thought we weren't allowed to do anything while someone else is here...?"

Kendall reached the bedroom and leant up against the door for a minute, pulling James up against him and kissing him, "We'll just have to be quiet then, so they don't find out."

Kendall attached their lips again and reached back to turn the door handle, letting them stumble into the room. They both laughed lightly against each other's lips and James quietly shut the door, hands then fisting in Kendall's shirt and his tongue pushing into the blonde's mouth.

Kendall quickly unbuttoned James' shirt and he ran his hands over the model's sculpted torso before pushing the shirt down his arms and letting it drop to the floor. He took a small step back so that he could admire his boyfriend and then he smirked up at him. James suddenly surged forward and kissed Kendall again, his fingers working on removing Kendall's shirt too.

Kendall ran his hands down James' sides and grabbed onto the waistband of his jeans, pulling him close and working on removing the man's belt. He then quickly popped the button on James' jeans and unzipped them before dropping to his knees.

James grinned down at him and lightly stroked a hand over Kendall's hair as the blonde started to mouth at his flat stomach. Kendall pressed soft kisses to James' skin as he tugged James' jeans down his legs and helped him step out of them. James hummed happily as Kendall's hands stroked up his thighs and his head moved down to teasingly mouth James' cock through the material of his boxers.

James' fingers tangled in Kendall's hair as his breathing hitched and he stared down at his boyfriend, getting worked up and dying for Kendall to stop teasing him. He bucked his hips and Kendall smirked at his impatience. He took the waistband of James' boxers in between his teeth and tugged for a moment before letting it snap back into place. Then he used his hands to pull them down James' legs.

Kendall licked his lips and wrapped his hand around James' cock, leaning forward and swirling his tongue around the head. James gasped and fought back a groan, his fingers tightening in Kendall's hair. James' breathing hitched as Kendall wrapped his lips around the tip of his cock and slowly took more of him into his mouth. His eyes fluttered shut and he dropped his head back, letting his mouth hang open as he panted for breath.

Kendall skilfully worked his mouth on James cock, bobbing his head and hollowing his cheeks, encouraged by the noises that were escaping from James' mouth. He twisted his hand around the base with one hand while the other gripped onto James' hip.

James whimpered when he suddenly couldn't feel Kendall's mouth on him anymore and his eyes opened, frowning in confusion.

"Kendall, why—?"

Kendall stood up with a smirk and pecked James' lips as his hands moved to the button of his jeans. He quickly rid himself of the rest of his clothing and then pulled James in by the back of his neck smashing their lips together and kissing him deeply. Kendall then backed them over to the bed, grinning against James' lips as the back of his legs hit the bed.

Kendall pulled James down with him and shuffled back on the bed, letting James rest above him as they continued to kiss, hands roaming over each other's bodies.

Not wanting to break their kiss, Kendall blindly reached out to the side, feeling about for his bedside cabinet and pulling open the drawer. He rummaged around and pulled out a small foil packet. James pulled away to catch his breath and he grinned at Kendall. He plucked the packet from Kendall's fingers and placed it next to them on the bed.

"Not yet," James smirked, lowering his head to Kendall's chest and pressing light kisses to his skin.

Kendall bit down on his bottom lip, gasping as James' mouth kissed a trail down his torso and teased the skin below his naval. James stuck out his tongue and lightly trailed it further down, gently taking Kendall's cock in his hand as he ran his tongue down the length.

"Oh, God!" Kendall groaned.

James smirked and raised his head, "Shush, we have to keep quiet, remember?"

Kendall took a deep breath as James bowed his head again and engulfed the tip of Kendall's cock with his mouth. His hand moved to tangle his fingers in the brunette's hair as he held his head in place and closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of James' skilful mouth.

Kendall gasped loudly when he felt James' hand cup his balls and give them a gentle squeeze. His eyes shot open as his hips thrust slightly and he glanced down at James, licking his lips. The brunette was staring up at him, smirking around Kendall's dick and then pulling back to tease the head again. Kendall desperately tried to hold back a groan and he continued to breathe deeply.

"J-James, God," he panted.

Kendall's fingers tightened their grip on James' hair and the brunette found himself being pulled away from Kendall's cock. He looked up at him questioningly, but still shifted up the bed to lie beside him. Kendall rolled onto his side and gently stroked James' cheek with a smile.

"This was supposed to be about you," he mumbled, leaning in to nuzzle against James' cheek.

James grinned and ran a hand slowly down Kendall's side, "Well, you know how much I love sucking your cock."

Kendall chuckled and pulled back so that he could look James in the eye, "You're very good at it too."

Kendall leant forward and pressed a soft kiss to James' lips, pushing him onto his back and straddling the brunette's hips. James' hands clasped at Kendall's back as he deepened the kiss and held him close. His hands then ran down Kendall's back until they were firmly pressed against the man's ass. Kendall groaned into James' mouth as his boyfriend rolled their hips together. He then reached behind him and grabbed one of James' hands, pulling it up to his mouth and sucking on the man's long fingers. James bit down on his lip as he watched Kendall slick up his fingers, his hips continuing to buck gently against Kendall's.

When Kendall had finished, he guided James' hand back around to his ass and let out a soft gasp when he felt the fingers brush against his entrance. He leant down and reconnected their lips as James slipped a finger inside of Kendall. The blonde grunted but soon pushed back against James' finger, forcing it further inside.

James cupped the back of Kendall's head with his free hand as he kissed him deeply and his finger poked around inside of Kendall, loosening him up. He soon added a second finger and started to scissor them, causing Kendall to pant against his lips and roll his hips back.

Kendall lightly tugged on James' bottom lip with his teeth and then scattered kisses along his jawline.

"James," he mumbled against the brunette's skin, reaching back to grab James' hand again. He pulled it away from him, whining quietly at the loss, and he pinned James' arms to the bed, "Do you want me to sit on your dick?"

James moaned in surprise and nodded his head, grinning as Kendall sat back on his thighs and grabbed the condom from the bed. Kendall smirked down at him as he ripped open the wrapper and rolled the condom onto James' cock. James quickly licked his lips and let out a satisfied sigh when Kendall took him into his mouth again, using his saliva as lubricant.

Kendall leant one hand on James' chest to support his weight and grabbed James' erection with his other as he started to lower himself down. James' hands grabbed onto Kendall's hips and his head fell back, his mouth hanging open and letting out little moans of pleasure.

Kendall stilled once he was fully seated in James' lap and he took deep breaths to relax himself and get used to the feeling. James was biting down on his lip and rubbing comforting circles against Kendall's hips with his thumbs.

"God, Kendall. You feel amazing."

Kendall looked up and caught his eye, grinning as he shifted his hips slightly. James' grip on Kendall's hips tightened and he desperately wanted to thrust up into the blonde, but he wanted to make sure that he was comfortable.

But then Kendall started to slowly roll his hips; his eyes were closed and his head hung forward slightly as he panted gently. James matched his rhythm and thrust his hips up against Kendall, smirking when the boy's breathing hitched and he let out a small moan.

Kendall's rhythm soon started to pick up and he pushed harder on James' chest as he raised himself up and slammed back down on James' dick. James let out a sudden loud groan and Kendall grinned, leaning forward to cover James' mouth with his own.

"You have to be quiet," Kendall reminded him, mumbling against his lips.

James panted and nodded his head, "S-Sorry."

Kendall slipped his tongue into James mouth for a moment before he sat back up again and picked up speed as he continued to ride James.

James' breath was coming out in small pants and his eyes were fluttering shut. He tried to fight it, desperately wanting to watch Kendall, but he couldn't. His head fell back against the pillow and his back arched, his hips thrusting roughly into Kendall and causing a deep moan to fall from Kendall's mouth.

James forced his eyes back open and stared up at the blonde in adoration, admiring the stretch of his neck as he head hung back and his perfect mouth that hung open in ecstasy. James' grip tightened on Kendall's hips and he suddenly flipped their positions, so that Kendall was now on his back beneath him.

Kendall let out a yelp as he was thrown onto the bed and he stared up at James, flustered and surprised. James didn't waste any time and quickly thrust back inside of Kendall, lifting the boy's legs and hooking them over his shoulders. He leant forward to kiss Kendall, bending the blonde pretty much in half. Kendall moaned softly against James' mouth and rolled his hips to meet James' thrusts. The angle was perfect for James to thrust against Kendall's prostate and the blonde's rhythm started to falter as he could feel himself reaching his orgasm.

Judging by the expression on James' face and by his erratic breathing, Kendall could tell that James was almost close too. He bit down on his bottom lip and started to clench around James, wanting to bring him off first. James groaned when he felt what Kendall was doing and he wrapped his hand around Kendall's cock, stroking him and trying to see if he could get Kendall to come first. Kendall laughed breathily when he realised that James was trying to turn it into a competition, and that just spurred him on even more.

Kendall's fingers grasped at James' back as his prostate was suddenly struck once more and that was enough to have him coming, releasing himself over James' hand and their stomachs. Kendall held onto James for a moment longer, grinning when James gave a soft grunt of his name and buried his face in the blonde's neck as he came. Kendall's arms and legs then fell from around James in exhaustion and he collapsed on the bed, James slumping on top of him.

"Wow," James sighed, running his finger lightly over Kendall's chest.

Kendall smiled sleepily and let his fingers lazily play with James hair, "Yeah. That was awesome."

James carefully rolled off of Kendall but still snuggled up against his side, not wanting to part from the blonde. Kendall smiled fondly as he watched James yawn widely and blink a few times to try and keep his eyes open.

"Aw, did I tire you out?" he smirked.

James rolled his eyes and playfully poked him on the chest.

"Come on," Kendall chuckled. "We should sleep."

"'Kay," James mumbled, shifting on the bed so that he could reach the floor and grab a shirt. "Let me just clean us up a little first."

Kendall settled in James' arms once they were as clean as they were possibly going to get without taking a shower and he sighed in content as he was enveloped by the strong arms and the hard body pressed up against him.

After a while, Kendall had thought that James had fallen asleep, but he was surprised when he felt the man's hand move and a finger gently drew patterns on his bare chest. Kendall smiled and was about to open his eyes, to let James know that he was awake too, when he felt James press a soft kiss to his neck and heard him let out a small sigh.

"I love you," James whispered.

Kendall was shocked; too shocked to open his eyes. Instead, Kendall just remained where he was in James' arms, eyes shut and his mind replaying those three words in his head; I love you.

Logan stretched out in bed as he woke up slowly opening his eyes and giving a big yawn. He looked to his left and smiled when he saw Nate still curled up to his side. But he frowned when he realised that Carlos was no longer on his other side. He ran his hand over the empty spot and let out a disappointed sigh; he'd hoped to wake up in Carlos' arms again.

Logan heard a small groan and turned back to watch Nate slowly wake up. The little boy smiled sleepily when he saw his father and he snuggled into his side for a moment. Logan wrapped his arm around him and held him there for a while.

"Morning, Nate."

"Hi Daddy. Where's Carlos?"

Logan shrugged, "I don't know. Shall we see if we can find him?"

Nate nodded and sat up, reaching his arms out as Logan stood up. Logan pulled Nate into his arms and carried him out of the room.

Logan could hear the sound of the TV and he found James sitting on the sofa, feet propped on the coffee table as he watched the entertainment news. The model's face broke into a friendly smile when he spotted Logan and Nate coming over.

"Morning, you two."

"Hey James," Logan smiled and Nate gave a small wave. "Do you know where Carlos is?"

"Oh, he had to go to work. He didn't want to wake you. But he told me to tell you that he's going to close up early and come back here."

"Oh, um, okay," Logan put Nate down and let him go and play with his toys while Logan took a seat next to James. "Has Kendall gone to work as well?"

James nodded, "Yeah, but he's finishing at lunch time, so he'll be back soon too…How are you feeling today?"

Logan shrugged his shoulders, "I've been better."

James took his feet off the coffee table and sat up properly, "I, uh, I made a few calls this morning and I've managed to find a great lawyer for you, she said she can come over this afternoon as well."

Logan looked at James in surprise, "Really? You did? Wow, James. Thank you. You really didn't have to do that."

"Logan, stop. I wanted to, okay? So don't worry."

Logan smiled thankfully and hugged James with a sigh.

"I'm gonna get Nate some breakfast and then take a quick shower. Would you be able to keep an eye on Nate for me?"

"Sure," James nodded. "That's fine."

"Thanks James."

Logan made his way to the kitchen, calling Nate over. The little boy put down his toys and followed after him.

"Do you want cereal for breakfast?" Logan asked, pulling out a box from the cupboard.

Nate nodded with a smile, "Okay Daddy."

Logan filled up a small bowl and then grabbed the milk from the fridge as he led Nate over to the table, pouring the milk into the bowl as Nate climbed onto the chair.

"Daddy's going for a shower. You be good for James, okay?"

Nate nodded, "'Kay."

Logan smiled and kissed the top of his son's head as he moved past him to go to the bathroom.

When Logan returned, running his fingers through his wet hair, he smiled when he saw James lying on the rug with Nate and playing with his cars. He decided to go and sit with them, telling James that he didn't need to play with him anymore. But James just smiled and kept playing, telling Logan that he was having fun with Nate. So Logan grabbed a car and joined in with them and they ended up playing on the rug until Kendall returned from work a few hours later.

They were relaxing on the sofa that afternoon when there was a knock at the door and Logan sat up in interest as Kendall went to open it.

"Hello" the pretty blonde woman smiled once the door opened. "Are you Mr Mitchell?"

Logan heard his name and got up, walking over to the door just as Kendall shook his head.

"No, I'm not," Kendall glanced over his shoulder and smiled at Logan walking towards them. "But here he is."

"Hello, I'm Logan Mitchell."

"Oh, hello. I'm Jo Taylor, your attorney," she smiled at Logan, sticking out her hand.

Logan happily shook her hand and invited her into the apartment, "Thank you so much for coming so quickly, Miss Taylor."

"Please, you can call me Jo," her smile grew when she spotted Nate sitting on the sofa, looking over at her curiously. "Oh! Is this your son?"

Logan nodded, "Yeah, that's Nate."

Jo crouched down in front of Nate with a grin, "Aren't you just a cutie."

Nate giggled and stared at the woman with interest, wondering who she was.

"I'm going to talk to your daddy for a bit, is that okay?"

Nate nodded his head and glanced at his father quickly, "Okay."

"I'm sure James or Kendall will play with you for a bit," Logan reassured him, gently stroking the boy's hair and he glanced over at his friends to see them nodding in agreement.

Jo stood back up and gestured for Logan to follow her over to the dining table. Logan gave a nod and then walked after her, leaving Nate on the sofa with Kendall and James.

"Okay, Mr Mitchell. Well, why don't you start by telling me a bit about yourself and your relationship with Miss Roberts?" Jo asked as she sat opposite him at the table, taking out a notepad and pen to make notes.

Logan nodded nervously and took a deep breath, "Uh, well, you don't have to call me Mr Mitchell, Logan's fine."

Jo nodded with a smile, "Okay then."

"Okay, um…I met Camille at high school and we were friends for a couple of years before we started dating when we were sixteen. My parents didn't really approve of her but I didn't listen to them because I loved Camille."

"Why didn't they approve of her?" Jo questioned, glancing up from her notepad.

"Because she's a bit…demanding. She likes to be centre of attention and is very outgoing. My parents thought that she would be a bad influence on me and get me into trouble. They just wanted me to go to college and study to be a doctor, they didn't want me to get involved in a serious relationship and "ruin" my future. But, like I said, I didn't listen to them and I stayed in Minnesota. I still went to college and started to study to be a doctor but then I had to drop out once Nate was born."

"So, Nate was unplanned?"

Logan nodded, "Well…I wasn't expecting him, that's for sure. But I still love him!" Logan added quickly. "He's the best thing to ever happen to me."

Jo smiled and nodded her head, letting him continue.

"Camille, she…she got pregnant on purpose so that I would stay with her."

"You were going to leave?"

"I wanted to. I'd wanted to for a few months at that point. We weren't happy anymore, we were constantly arguing and I was miserable; I was falling out of love with her. B-But when I told her, she refused to accept it and told me that I couldn't leave her and said that we'd fix our relationship. I gave her far too many chances and none of them worked out. But then she got pregnant with Nate…I couldn't leave then."

"How long did you stay with her for?"

"I left her just over two months ago now."

"And has she tried to get Nate back before now?"

Logan shook his head, "No. She didn't want Nate in the first place. She doesn't want him now. She just wants me to come home."

"Oh," Jo frowned, scribbling a couple of notes down quickly, "And she thinks if she wins custody of Nate, then you'll go back to her so you can still see him?"

Logan nodded, "Yeah, I can't think of any other reason why she would be doing this. She just wants to hurt me because she knows that I definitely won't be going back to her now."

"Why? What else has changed?"

Logan sighed, "I'm in another relationship."

Jo's eyebrows rose, "You are? Well, that's going to make a difference too…What's this person like? How are they with Nate?"

A smile automatically spread across Logan's face, "He's really great with him. Nate loves him."

"He?"

Logan nodded nervously, "Yeah, I-I'm with a man now. Is that going to ruin everything?"

Jo shook her head, trying to stop Logan from panicking, "No. No, it won't ruin anything. It just, it might make things a little bit more difficult…depending on what sort of judge we get."

Logan took a deep breath to try and calm himself, "Okay."

Logan waited while Jo scribbled some more things down in her notebook and he wondered what exactly she was writing. He jumped when there was a sudden knock at the door and Kendall got up to go and answer it, shooting Logan a smile as he passed. Logan's face lit up when Carlos entered the apartment, finally back from work. He had a bouquet of flowers clasped in one hand and a small paper bag in the other.

"Carlos!" Logan heard an excited voice shout from the couch and he grinned as he watched his son hurry over to him.

"Hey there, Nate!" Carlos smiled, crouching down to give him a hug. "You okay, Munchkin?"

Nate nodded, "Uh huh." His eyes landed on the paper bag in the man's hand and his face looked hopeful, "Did you bring me a cookie?"

Carlos laughed and nodded his head, "I sure did. You'll have to ask your daddy if you can have it yet though."

Nate looked over at Logan and got a nod from him, making his face light up. Logan then saw Jo watching them all and making notes and he got slightly nervous, but she caught his eye and gave him a friendly smile and he relaxed slightly.

"Is that your boyfriend?" She asked quietly.

"Yeah, his name's Carlos. Could I have a couple of minutes?"

Jo nodded, "Of course."

Logan smiled thankfully and got up to greet his boyfriend. Carlos smiled widely at Logan and leant in to peck his lips.

"Hey you."

"Hey," Logan blushed. "I missed you this morning."

Carlos lightly ran his hand down Logan's arm and linked their fingers, "I missed you too. I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye; I just thought you could do with the rest. I, uh, I brought you these to make up for it."

Logan's blush deepened as he accepted the bouquet of daisies.

"They're not too cheesy or anything, are they? Do you even like flowers? I wasn't sure. I just wanted to cheer you up."

Logan pressed his lips to Carlos' again to stop him from rambling and he felt Carlos relax against him and let out a small sigh.

"They're lovely. Thank you."

Carlos then spotted Jo over Logan's shoulder and he looked confused for a moment.

"That's Jo," Logan explained when he noticed him looking. "She's the lawyer that James hired."

"Oh, right! Hello!" Carlos waved over at her.

"Hello," Jo smiled in return.

"I should leave you to talk with her, shouldn't I? How about I take Nate to the park, or something?"

"Really?" Logan asked, slightly in awe.

Carlos shrugged, "Do you think he'd want to go with me?"

"I think he'd love to go with you," Logan grinned. "But will you be okay looking after him?"

"I'll drag Kendall and James with me," Carlos told him, glancing over at the couple who were sitting back on the couch. "Then you can have some privacy to talk things over."

Logan squeezed Carlos' hand in thanks and then led him over to the couch, sitting down beside Nate.

"Carlos is going to take you to the park," Logan told him with a smile. "Doesn't that sound fun?"

Nate stared over at Carlos for a moment and then looked back at his father, "You coming too, Daddy?"

"I can't. Daddy has to stay here. But Kendall and James are going to go as well."

"We are?" Kendall asked, raising an eyebrow.

Logan nodded and gave Kendall a hopeful look. Kendall rolled his eyes but felt James rest his hand on his leg.

"Logan needs some privacy," James told him. "Come on, I'll push you on the swings."

Kendall laughed, shaking his head, "Fine."

Logan turned his attention back to Nate, "You'll have fun, I promise. I'll see you again later."

"Okay, Daddy."

Logan smiled and kissed the top of Nate's hair, "Good. Why don't you go and get your shoes on?"

"'Kay," Nate nodded, climbing down from the sofa and going into his room to find his shoes.

Logan stood back up and returned to Carlos, "You sure this is okay?"

"Of course. But are you sure that he wants to come with me?"

"Yeah, I think he just wants me to be there too. But you'll be fine. Thank you for doing this."

Once they all had their shoes and jackets on, Logan walked with them to the door, filling Carlos in on what he needed to do.

"…and keep an eye on him at all times because he likes to run off and don't let him try the monkey bars on his own and—"

"Logan," Kendall chuckled, wrapping an arm around the man's shoulders. "I'll tell him everything on the way. Just relax. Everything will be fine."

Logan nodded, taking a breath, "Okay, thank you."

He slipped out from under Kendall's arm and bent down to pick Nate up, "Does Daddy get a goodbye kiss?"

Nate giggled and kissed him goodbye, giving him a little hug before he was put back on his feet. But the little boy didn't feel like walking and he hurried over to James, making grabby hands at him.

"I wanna piggy back ride!"

James laughed, raising his eyebrows in surprise, "From me?"

Nate nodded, "Uh-huh. Pleeeease?"

"Nate, do you want one from me instead?" Kendall offered, unsure if James was comfortable with carrying Nate.

Nate pouted and James shook his head, "Kendall, it's fine." He smiled down at Nate and then crouched down, "Climb on then, buddy."

Nate grinned and happily climbed on James' back, gripping his legs around him and wrapping his arms around James' neck as the man stood up. He was beaming as he looked around at everyone, enjoying being up high.

"Look, Carlos! I taller than you now!" he teased the man standing next to them.

Carlos laughed and smiled over at Logan in amusement. Logan rolled his eyes at his son and walked over to Carlos to kiss him goodbye.

"Have fun."

Carlos smiled and pecked his lips once more, "I'll see you later."

Logan sighed in content as he waved them off and shut the door behind them. He hoped that they'd be alright. Logan knew that Nate was in good, capable hands; he was just nervous. He realised that Jo was still sitting at the table waiting for him and he quickly grabbed the flowers that Carlos had bought him and put them in water before finally joining her again.

"I'm so sorry about that," he apologised.

"That's alright," Jo smiled, looking up from her notepad and putting down her pen. "It was nice to see you interact with your son; you're really good with him and he seems to get along well with Carlos."

Logan smiled and nodded, "I'm so relieved that they get along so well. I was really nervous about telling Carlos about Nate when we first started seeing each other, but Carlos was fine with me having a son and he enjoys spending time with us both, unlike Camille."

Jo raised an eyebrow, "What is Camille like as a mother?"

Logan sighed, "She, just, she doesn't even try. When Nate was born, I was responsible for everything. I had to feed him, change him, bathe him…I tried to get her to lend a hand, but she refused. I thought that it might change over time; that she'd want to spend time with him and take care of him but it never happened. That's why she can't win this. I can't let her take Nate away. She won't care for him properly."

A faint smile spread across Jo's face as she scribbled a couple more things down, "That's good."

"What's good?"

"That you are looking out for Nate's best interests. In many child custody cases, it is all about the parents battling for what they want and they ignore what would be best for the child."

Logan nodded, "I just want what's best for him and I truly believe that it is with me. I have a job now, a place to live and great support system. We all love Nate and we just want him to be happy."

"The other two men that were here, who were they?"

"Kendall and James? Kendall's my best friend, he let us live here with him after I left Camille, and James is Kendall's boyfriend."

Jo took a breath and bit on her lip, appearing to be deep in thought.

"Um, is everything alright?" Logan asked nervously.

Jo forced a smile onto her face and tried to find the words to say, "I really want you to win this, Logan. But you have to be prepared in case it doesn't turn out the way we hope."

Logan's face fell, "Do you think I'm going to lose?"

Jo sighed, "I really hope not. But, judges are almost always more inclined to side with the mother. They still stand by the belief that a child belongs with their mother. I'm worried that the judge won't feel that it's best for Nate to grow up around four gay men; that they think he needs a female influence."

"H-He stays with Kendall's mom while I'm at work. T-that's a female influence, right?" Logan said in a panic.

Jo nodded, "We can mention that. I'm sorry, Logan, I didn't tell you that to make you panic, you just need to know that there is a possibility of it happening. But I will try my best to not let that happen. Is there anything else you can tell me about Camille or about yourself that could help your case?"

Logan desperately tried to think of something to tell her. His mind came up with one thing and he nervously bit down on his bottom lip. Jo noticed and leant forward slightly, waiting for him to speak.

"I, uh…Camille, she…She can have a bit of a temper."

"Really? How bad of a temper?"

Logan shrugged shyly, "Sometimes it can be a bit out of control."

"Has she ever got violent?"

Logan paused for a moment before he slowly shook his head, "She's never hit Nate."

"Has she ever hit you?" Jo asked softly.

Logan averted his eyes and tried not to look at her as he shook his head again, "No."

Jo reached out and gently held Logan's hand, "Logan, if she's ever hit you, you need to tell me…"

"She didn't. S-She'd just shout," Logan lied, bowing his head.

Jo sighed, slightly disappointed, knowing that Logan was hiding something, but she didn't push it. Jo returned to writing in her notebook and hoped that Logan would tell her eventually.

They talked for a little while longer, until Jo informed Logan that their time was almost up. Logan sighed and ran a hand through his hair. Jo gently laid a hand on his arm and gave him a comforting smile.

"Don't worry, Logan. You have a good case, a challenging one, but that doesn't mean you can't win it. We'll meet again before the court date and go over what's going to happen in more detail, okay?"

Logan nodded, "Okay. Thank you, Jo."

"Just try to relax and don't stress out over it. Try and stay positive," Jo told him as they walked to the door.

Logan nodded again, "I'll try."

Jo knew that she should stay professional but she hugged Logan anyway, feeling like he could use the comfort. Logan smiled thankfully and hugged her back, thanking her once more before she left him.

Logan collapsed on the sofa after she had gone, taking deep breaths and trying to relax. He had hoped that talking with Jo would make him feel more confident about the situation, but it hadn't. He panicked that they would take Nate away from him just because he was gay; that didn't mean that he wasn't able to raise his son right. Logan had been doing just fine raising Nate until Camille decided to mess things up. He just hoped that they'd have a judge who wasn't homophobic, so that he stood a chance in this. Camille didn't know anything about raising a child; Camille didn't want to raise a child.

Logan had sent Carlos a text, telling him that Jo had left so that could come back whenever they were ready. It wasn't too long afterward he'd sent the text that he heard loud voices in the hall and realised that they must be back.

"Daddy!" Nate exclaimed from where he was clinging to James' back again. "James is my horsey!"

James made the effort to gallop over to the couch and drop Nate back onto the cushions, making the little boy giggle loudly. Logan was watching them with a smile when he felt a pair of arms wrap around his waist and a chin rest on his shoulder.

"Hey," Carlos smiled, pressing a kiss to his cheek.

Logan leant back in his arms with a sigh, "Hey. I missed you."

"I missed you too. How'd it go with Jo?"

Logan sighed again and shrugged his shoulders. Carlos backed up slightly and moved around Logan so that he could look at his face. His face dropped slightly when he saw the worry on the other man's face and he grabbed Logan's hand and pulled him into the bedroom.

"What did she say? She told you that you'd win this, right? There's no way Camille is a better parent than you."

Logan shrugged again, "Apparently a lot of judges side with the mother. They believe that a child belongs with her…and if we get a homophobic judge, then I don't stand a chance."

Carlos pulled Logan into a hug, "But that's not fair! That's not judging you on your parenting skills. You're way better than Camille. She's crazy! You told her that, right? About what she's done to you?"

Logan hesitated for a moment, "S-She asked if she'd ever hit Nate…I said no."

Carlos took a step back and stared at Logan's face, "But you told her that she hit you…didn't you?"

Logan slowly shook his head, "Not exactly."

"Logan! Why not? If a judge hears that, then you'll definitely get custody of him!"

"You don't know that!" Logan responded in frustration. "I'm weak, Carlos! I can't stand up for myself. If a judge hears that I let my girlfriend hit me and control me, then they're just going to think that I'm not strong enough to look after a child. They'll just think I'm a pushover. And besides, Camille never hurt Nate and he's more important."

"But she could hurt him. Logan, you're not weak. No one would think that about you. You're strong. You love your son so much that you stayed with Camille just so you could look after him, even though she treated you like that. And you got out. You left her, Logan. That's really strong."

Logan blinked back the tears that were building in his eyes, "You think so?"

Carlos gave him a small smile and nodded, "Yeah. I really admire you for how strong you are, Logan, and for how much you care about Nate. You are going to win this."

Logan wrapped his arms around Carlos again as he pulled him close and buried his face in the crook of his neck, letting out the tears that he was holding. Carlos held him tight, hands rubbing his back in comfort and waiting patiently for him to let all his tears out.

"Do you feel better now?" Carlos asked when Logan had calmed down.

Logan pulled back, rubbing his eyes and sniffing, "Y-Yeah. I'm sorry."

"Hey, don't apologise. You're going through a lot. It's okay."

"I'm so glad I have you with me, Carlos," Logan smiled, squeezing the Latino's hands. "You're amazing."

"I know," Carlos grinned jokingly.

Logan laughed and rolled his eyes.

"Do you want me to stay with you again tonight?"

"I-I'd like that. Do you think you could stay for the weekend?"

Carlos nodded happily, "Sure. I'll just have to go and get some things from my place. It shouldn't take long."

"Thanks Carlos."

"Don't mention it."

Logan joined Kendall and James on the sofa while Carlos headed back to his apartment and he filled them in on everything that had happened while they were gone. Like Carlos, they reassured Logan that he was going to win this and that he shouldn't worry. They also told Logan that they were going out to dinner tonight, so they would be out late and Logan would be able to just relax and spend some alone time with Carlos.

James then went to take a shower before they left for their date and Kendall and Logan were left sitting in a comfortable silence. Logan's gaze turned to Nate and he watched him colouring quietly until Kendall's voice broke the silence.

"Logan, do you love Carlos?"

Logan's head snapped up in surprise and he stared at his friend, "What? I-It's a bit early for me to be thinking about that…W-What brought that on?"

Kendall shrugged nervously and his stared down at his hands that were gripping his knees, "James told me that he loves me."

Logan's eyes widened and he moved closer to Kendall, "What? He did? Oh my God, Kendall! Well, what did you say back?"

Kendall's eyes glanced up at Logan and he sighed, "I didn't say anything. H-He thought that I was asleep."

"Oh…right. Well, do you love him?"

Kendall froze for a moment but then a smile appeared on his face and he nodded, "Yeah. Yes. I-I love him."

Logan grinned, "Then tell him!"

"But I'm nervous!"

"Why? You have no reason to be. You already know that he loves you too."

"I guess…But how do I tell him? Do I tell him that I heard him the other night? What if he gets mad that I pretended to be asleep and didn't say it back?"

"All that matters is that you're saying it now."

Kendall smiled, "Yeah. I'll tell him tonight."

"I'm really happy for you, Kendall," Logan smiled, hugging his best friend.

Kendall squeezed him back, "Thanks, Logie. I'm glad that you've finally found someone who makes you happy."

The bathroom door opened and James came strolling out, towel-drying his hair with another towel wrapped around his waist. He paused when he saw Logan and Kendall embracing on the couch and he cleared his throat.

"Should I be jealous?" he asked with a smirk.

Kendall laughed and got up to go over to him, "No, of course not. There's only one guy for me."

"Good," James grinned, leaning forwards to kiss the blonde.

Kendall rested his hands on James' bare chest and hummed against his lips as he slowly stroked them down James' torso. James chuckled against Kendall's lips as he felt him grab onto the towel that was around his waist.

"We should go and find you some clothes," Kendall smirked, keeping hold of the towel as he dragged James over to his bedroom.

Logan watched them go with a laugh, hoping that they wouldn't get too carried away in there.

Not long after Carlos came back, Kendall and James headed out on their date, wishing them all a goodnight. Logan then spent the evening curled up in front of the television with Carlos.

The Latino had his head rested on Logan's shoulder and his arms were wrapped around his torso. Logan leant into his touch and smiled. Nate soon got jealous and quickly finished his colouring before wandering over to them and climbing into Logan's lap.

"Hey, Little Guy," he smiled, watching as his son settled down in his lap, laying with his head on Logan's and his feet stretched across Carlos'.

Carlos grabbed on of Nate's feet and gave it a quick tickle, making the boy squeal in surprise and laughter. Carlos chuckled and then relaxed back up against Logan's side. Logan leant his head on top of Carlos' while his fingers lazily played with Nate's hair, soothing the small boy until he eventually fell asleep.

Logan didn't feel like moving him; he looked peaceful where he was and Carlos wasn't complaining. So Logan just enjoyed their company, thinking about how he could get used to more nights like this; just relaxing in front of the television with his two favourite boys. He prayed that it wouldn't have to change any time soon.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that chapter :)

Also, what did you think of the Kames? I don't usually write Kames and that was the first sex scene for them that I've ever been able to complete. I hope it was okay...

Please review and let me know what you thought of this chapter?
