Disclaimer: I don't own BTR, but if I did I would be a happy person bc faves

I got it done! It took a week, but that's not bad considering how long it has taken me other times.

I mean, I'm really setting up for some deep drama here...

Chapter 21: Carlos' POV

I cannot believe it. I did this again. We did this again. How could we be so irresponsible to let this happen again! I was kind of freaking out thinking of how I went through this the last time and I just started crying.

I walked into the bedroom, where Logan was laying on the bed and he looked at me worriedly.

"Baby, what's wrong?" he stood up, grabbing my hands.

"Logan…" I sighed. "I don't really know how to tell you this, so I'll just say it…I'm pregnant."

"WHAT?" his eyes bugged out of his head. "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN WE'VE BEEN SO CAREFUL."

I started laughed, like really hard.

"Carlos, what's funny? This is serious," he said.

"Calm down," I was still laughed.

"How can I?" he was still yelling.

"Logan, I'm just joking," I was laying on the bed cackling. "I wanted to see your reaction."

"Carlos, don't do that!" Logan smacked my arm. "We just had Liam and I don't know what we would do, we're at max capacity."

"Don't worry we're done with kids," I was still laughing a bit.

"How did you start crying like that?" he stared at me.

"I'm an actor," I shrugged.

"My heart is still beating," he said.

I put my hand to his chest and his heart was thumping hard.

"I almost gave you a heart attack," I laughed.

"It's not funny," he pouted, but I could see he was trying not to laugh.

"I'm going to make dinner," he said eventually, still pouty.

"I LOVE YOU," I yelled as he went downstairs.

Now that I had a good laugh, I wanted to check on Evan. He's seemed really distracted lately and I don't know why. I figured if he had an issue, he would talk to me or Ethan, but I was getting really worried.

I left the room and walked down the hall to his room. I knocked, only entering once he said come in. I walked in and sat at his desk.

"Hey pops," he gave a small smile.

"Hey Ev," I said. "Why aren't you out with Alex and Adam, or on a date with Bridget or something?"

"I don't know, I have a lot of homework to finish," he shrugged.

"Okay, you and I both know that you finish 98% of your homework before you come home, but I won't pry," I said.

The kids a super genius, just like Logan. He can do anything academic.

"I'm just not really up to hanging out right now," he said.

"I understand that," I said. "Everyone has those days. However, with you I've noticed that you've been kind of like this for a few days. I won't pry, but just a gentle and non-pushy reminder that I'm here to guide you and give you advice where you need it."

"I don't think you've been through what I'm going through right now," he said.

"Try me."

He sighed before looking at the ground.

"I'm pretty positive that I'm bisexual," he said.

"Ok…what's the problem with that? Best of both worlds," I laughed.

He didn't laugh with me so I stopped.

"Anyway, there's this guy that I really like, but I still love Bridget so I'm really confused and I don't know how to handle this."

"Talk it out with Bridget, and don't shut her out. Try to help her at least understand the feelings that you have and make sure she knows that you still care for her," I said.

"Okay, but what if she doesn't understand?"

"She loves you Evan, and it doesn't change your feelings toward her," I said.

"I guess…"

"I'm proud of you, for being brave enough to express this about yourself," I said. "It's no big deal to be straight, gay, or bisexual. Most people struggle with even saying the words."

"Thanks pops," he chuckled. "In this society, I'm not worried about what people think of me; I mean…guys can have babies for god's sakes but I just don't want to hurt anyone in the process of finding out who I am."

"Like I said, talk to Bridget," I repeated. "Then talk to Adam."

He was drinking Pepsi and started choking on his drink.

"Everyone knows Evan," I chuckled. "We've literally all been rooting for it from day one. Even the readers at home."

"Yeah…wait what?"

"What?" we stared at each other for a few minutes.

"I love you Pops," he hugged me. "Thanks for being so supportive."

"Love you too kid," I stood up. "Dinner will be ready soon. Oh, and in the long run you decide to try things with Adam, please don't have children till you're at least 25. It'll make me miss your childhood too much."

"Pops, don't worry…I would probably top anyways," he said.

"GOTTA BLAST!" I yelled, leaving the room.

All I could hear as I walked down the stairs was Evan's laughter. Kids stress me out.

Ethan's POV

I hadn't talked to him. I had started going back to class, and with the way this semester works, I have class all the times that he doesn't and vice versa. So, I would take care of Laura when I wasn't in class and he would take care of her when I was in class.

I was happy that he was still being a father to her, but that didn't change the fact that he was with her. It was one thing to do it; it meant nothing but it still hurt me. Fine. We could move past it and maybe attempt to be a family again, but now that Cassie is pregnant that changes everything.

That means she's having Luke's baby and that means she's going to be in my life for at least 18 years because our children share a father, not to mention that it will be Laura's sibling. I don't know what to do with that realization because I hated Cassie even before she had sex with my boyfriend and now all three of us are connected for at least the next 18 years of our lives.

This is all so stupid.

"Hey," I heard a whisper.

"Oh, yeah?" I looked at Rudy, not realizing that I had been in my own little world.

"Lectures been over for like five minutes, are we going to leave anytime soon," he chuckled.

I looked around and the lecture hall was empty.

"Sorry," I stood up, in an attempt to collect all of my stuff. "I was just distracted."

"Obviously," he laughed. "Wanna talk about it?"

"It's just me missing Laura is all," I shrugged.

"You're lying but ok," he chuckled. "Is it Luke? Is he not being a good dad?"

I hadn't told any of my friends that Luke was having another baby and neither did they. I feel kind of bad for him, this is exactly how it was when Pops had me then Dad had the girls not too long after; granted, these are much different circumstances.

I was kind of afraid of their reactions. They're all still friends with Luke (well not Erika, but Tank and Rudy are) but with reservations.

"Luke is actually doing a great job as a dad," I said. "I'll tell you guys later. Erika is coming over and we're going out with Tank and Laura so you should come with."

"Yeah, sounds good," he smiled. "I'll meet you guys later."

He gave me a quick hug then was on his way. As I walked home, I still found a hint of a smile playing on my lips…weird.

I got home and unlocked the door to find Luke sleeping on the couch and Laura sleeping on his chest. I'll admit I snapped a picture because it was really cute. Tank came out of his room and looked at the two.

"Aww," he smiled.

"Yeah, it's cute huh?" I was smiling too.

Luke's eyes fluttered open and looked at us confused.

"You and the princess were sleeping all cute, we figured we would stare," Tank said jokingly.

"How do I move her without waking her?" Luke looked at me.

I walked over and picked her up gently, resting her head back on my shoulder. She didn't even stir.

"Babies sleep heavy," I said.

He stood up.

"Ethan, can we talk?" he looked at me.

"No, you have a class to go to," I said.

He sighed.

"Well, I have a free night because my class got cancelled and I know you have your dinner with Erika," he started. "I'll take Laura tonight and she can stay with me."

I stared at him. I wanted to say no because I was mad at him, but I wanted to say yes because it's his daughter and she's stayed with him just as many nights as she has with me so he's trustworthy.

"Fine," I handed her back to him. "It'll be a little extra practice before your new arrival."

I said that last part only loud enough for him to hear. He grabbed her overnight bags and he quickly was on his way, but not before Tank and I each gave her a kiss on the cheek. When he was gone, Tank turned to me.

"What was that about?" he asked.

"What?"

"That animosity," he said. "I know you aren't still bitter."

"I'll explain tonight…I have a reason to still be bitter."

"Is he cheating again?" Tank said unbelievably.

"We aren't together, so I don't care if he is…just wait till tonight!"

He nodded.

***LATER***

We all took a seat at TGI Friday's. It was Tank, Rudy, Erika and I.

"I know it feels good to not have a baby with you at all times," Erika nudged my arm.

"Yeah, I have to appreciate that Luke took her tonight," I said. "It's honestly just been forever since I've been to a restaurant."

"So are you going to tell us why you're all distracted?" Rudy asked.

"And why you're mad at Luke," Tank added.

"Wait what?" Erika looked at me concerned. "Do I have to cut a bitch?"

I laughed, looking at her.

"No Erika, don't," I was still laughing.

"So what is it?" they were all eager.

"I found out that Luke and Cassie are having a baby," I shrugged.

"WHAT?" The three of them yelled, effectively causing everyone in the restaurant to turn and look at us.

"Sorry everyone, carry on," I chuckled nervously.

"I DO have to cut a bitch," Erika was mad.

"What. The. Fuck." Rudy said.

"You mean to tell me he can fuck some bitch in your bed and not even wrap it up," Tank said.

"Well, I feel kind of bad because he's going to have two young kids to take care of," I said.

"Ethan, you have to stop making excuses for him," Tank said. "I know that you love him, but he just hurts you over and over again and I care about you too much to let it continue."

"Tank is right," Erika said. "He made the mistake twice, he suffers the consequences on his own."

"I don't know, I just feel weird about this whole situation," I said. "It's weird enough adjusting to the fact that I had a baby."

"I see the problem," Rudy said, almost sad.

"What?"

"You're afraid that Cassie will have him and you won't," he said.

I thought about it, and honestly that was probably it. Despite everything he has put me through, I still love him so much. He was once my best friend in the whole world and now we're so distant because of some kids.

"Maybe you guys are right," I nodded. "Maybe it's time…I let him go."

And maybe it was. Maybe it was the time that I cut ties with Luke completely and just let him go. Of course, he'll be around for Laura, but as far as our personal relationship, maybe it was time to accept that we aren't getting back together and that we probably aren't even better off as friends.
