Anyways this one is for you. Ok I wanted to do the crazy thing I planned in this chapter, but it got really long and it didn't fit in here. It will for sure be in the next one.
Chapter 26: Turkey Talk
"I can't wait for Wednesday," Carlos sang happily.
"Why?" Logan asked looking at the Latino weirdly. Carlos in turn looked at Logan like he was nuts.
"Because we don't have school," Carlos said as if it were obvious. Logan rolled his eyes of course Carlos would be worried about that.
"I know, what you mean, I am so ready for more time off," James said.
"Me too," Camille said, "A nice thanksgiving with the family will be nice," she said.
"Did mom say if grandma and grandpa were coming?" Logan asked looking at Camille and James.
"Yes," Camille said.
"I am not coming over then," Kendall said, "I will see you the Monday after Thanksgiving," he said to Logan. Logan laughed and shook his head.
"Oh, come on they don't hate you," Logan said, "I told you they accept me and they were just shocked to see you doing that," he said.
"What happened?" Carlos asked confused as everyone else on the stairs laughed. Logan looked at Carlos. Everyone knew then Logan remembered Carlos had been in Mexico.
"That's right you were in Mexico," Kendall said. Logan started to laugh and hung his head. He knew Kendall did not like what had happened that day.
"What happened?" Carlos asked looking around at everyone.
"Ok for starters my grandparents came up to see the twins," Logan said, "They arrived a day earlier then they said they would," he added.
"I don't want to hear this," Kendall said moving to stand up. Logan laughed and pulled Kendall back down. Kendall huffed and pouted and crossed his arms over his chest. He looked away from Logan. He really didn't want to listen to this right now. What had happened was really embarrassing.
"It's not that bad," Logan said, "anyways Kendall was over and we were up in my room and fooling around a bit," he said.
"What's so bad about that?" Carlos asked.
"You know my mom's rules, we have to keep the door open," Logan said.
"Ah I see," Carlos said.
"I won't go into details, but we were doing things my grandparents didn't exactly like. We weren't having sex, but someone who walked in on us might think we were about to," Logan said, "My grandparents are really religious and don't believe in premarital sex," he added.
"I know that now," Kendall said looking at Logan. Logan laughed again. "So since I have a hard time keeping my hands to myself I will see you Monday after thanksgiving," he said.
"At least he admits he has a problem," Dak said sending Jett a playful glare. Jett only grinned and placed an arm around Dak's shoulders.
"I can't help myself you're just to hard to resist," Jett whispered in his ear before he delivered a kiss to Dak's neck causing Dak to shiver and blush.
"Kendall, what are you gonna do when your mom and sister come over?" Logan asked ignoring the other two for the moment. Kendall looked at Logan for a moment. He had forgotten that His mother was gonna help Joanna with Thanksgiving this year, which meant he and Katie had to be there as well.
"I will fake sick," Kendall stated matter-of-factly.
"You are not getting out of this Kendall," Logan said, "besides I don't think you could stand being away from me for four days," he said. Kendall looked at Logan for a moment before he sighed.
"You're right I can't," Kendall said hanging his head earning laughs from the others around him.
"Whipped," James said.
"I wouldn't talk," Kendall said. James opened his mouth but closed it. Kendall smirked at James and looked at Logan who was looking at him. "What?" he asked.
"Nothing," Logan said shaking his head. Kendall gave him a weird look before turning his attention to the others who were talking.
Logan sighed as he walked through the halls alone. Kendall had run off telling him he had something to do and that he'd see him in the cafeteria. Logan shook his head he knew Kendall would never keep a secret for him for long, he just wished he'd let him know. It's not that he didn't trust Kendall. Secrets had almost broken them up before and Logan didn't want that to happen again.
Logan walked into the cafeteria and got his lunch. He managed to somehow carry his tray to the table by himself. He hated wearing a sling, but he needed it otherwise he'd be in pain. He hated this. Normally Kendall helped him with his tray, but he had no idea what Kendall was up to. He didn't mind really, just as long as Kendall eventually told him what he was up to.
"Where's Kendall?" James asked once Logan sat down.
"Yeah, usually he's all over you helping you with your food," Dak said.
"I don't know," Logan said as he sat down. "But I am not completely helpless," he said.
"No, but you seemed to be having a hard time to me," a voice said in his ear. Logan turned to look at Kendall. Logan smiled and scooted over for him. Kendall sat down next to him.
"Where'd you go?" Logan asked.
"I had to take care of something," Kendall said smiling at Logan.
"Are you gonna tell me?" Logan asked.
Nope, it's a surprise," Kendall said. Logan looked at Kendall for a moment before letting it go. He turned his attention to his food and began eating and talking with the others at the table as did Kendall. Logan knew it was probably nothing bad that Kendall was doing him. He trusted Kendall not to hurt him again. Then again it was his fault that they had broken up last time. He didn't want to go through that again.
The group finished their lunch and made their way to their lockers. Kendall grabbed Logan's hand as they walked down the hall together. Logan wanted to know what Kendall was up to, but he didn't want to bother Kendall. He didn't want to push him and get him angry. Then again he didn't have a right to know what Kendall was doing. They were dating and having a kid together. Logan sighed and shook his head as they stopped at him locker. It was only one day and Kendall wasn't being suspicious. He really did trust Kendall, it was just his damn hormones acting up.
"You ok?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah," Logan said, "it's nothing, just a little tired," he said. Kendall nodded his head. He understood what was wrong. Logan was really tired as of late and that was because of his pregnancy.
Logan yawned as he woke up. It was Wednesday and his grandparents were coming into town. He was excited to see them again. They were coming to see the twins and Joanna. They wanted to see how she was holding up. Joanna seemed to be doing fine. Logan rolled over in his bed and groaned when he heard his door open.
"Oh Logie," a very familiar voice sing songed.
"What are you doing here this early," Logan asked sitting up. He winced as a slight pain shot through his shoulder. He stood up and changed his shirt and put his sling on.
"I come over to see you and the first thing you ask is why am I here?" Kendall asked pouting.
"I didn't mean it that way," Logan said as he grabbed a pair of sweat pants and tried to put them on. Kendall laughed and walked over to Logan.
"Need some help," he asked. Logan blushed and nodded his head. He hated this. He felt completely helpless with his bum shoulder. After Logan was dressed he sat down on his bed.
"You know my grandparents are arriving today?" Logan asked looking at Kendall.
"I know," Kendall said.
"You're actually gonna stay to see them," Logan asked shocked as Kendall sat down next to them.
"Yeah," Kendall said, "I realized I'm gonna have to face them if I want to be with you," he said. Logan smiled at Kendall. They rarely talked about the future, but it was times like these when they let something slip. Logan knew better than to get his hopes up about being with Kendall after they graduated, but he hoped they would. They were applying to the same colleges.
"Ken," Logan said, "do you think we'll be together after high school?" he asked. He had wanted to ask him, but he was always scared.
"Even if we weren't having a kid I would fight to stay with you forever," Kendall said grabbing Logan's hand and squeezing it lightly. Logan looked at Kendall and smiled. He knew how he felt about Kendall, but he was scared Kendall would change his mind about him someday. They had broken up once before and it was a possibility. Logan was always scared that it was going to happen again. He never wanted that to happen again, which is why he didn't keep secrets from Kendall anymore. He tried to be honest with him and Kendall was honest in return, expect for what he had been doing for the last few days.
"I love you," Logan said smiling at Kendall.
"I love you too, Logie," Kendall said pulling Logan into a hug.
"Logan," Jack called from downstairs. Logan sighed and he and Kendall stood up and walked downstairs where Jack was standing waiting for Logan. "James, Camille and I are going to the airport to pick up your grandparents, can you help with the twins and make sure their room is ready?" he asked.
"Yeah," Logan said, "Ken and I will make sure everything is perfect and we won't have a repeat of last time," he said grinning when Kendall's face fell. Jack laughed and nodded his head. He walked outside with Camille and James.
"Did you have to say that?" Kendall asked. Logan only laughed and walked away from Kendall to the twins room. He wanted to make sure they were ok before he went back upstairs to get the guest room ready. Kendall followed him to the twins room. Joanna was sitting in there holding Zack.
"Hey mom," Logan said, "you got everything under control here?" he asked.
"Yeah," Joanna said.
"Kendall and I are gonna go make sure the guest room is ready and we'll be back down," Logan said. Joanna nodded her head and Logan turned and left with Kendall. Logan was glad Joanna seemed to be adjusting to being in a wheelchair, but Logan didn't like it. It reminded him of what he had said to her. He hadn't meant it and he felt guilty. He knew it was his fault she was in the wheelchair. It was his fault that she may never walk again.
"Cut it out," Kendall said grabbing Logan's hand as they reached the top of the stairs. Logan looked over at Kendall confused. "I know what you're thinking and it's not your fault," he said.
"Yes it is," Logan said looking down at the ground.
"No it's not," Kendall said stopping Logan. He placed his hand under Logan's chin and made him look at him. "It is not your fault accidents happen and there is nothing we can do to change it," he said.
"I know," Logan said, "but I can't help but feel like it's my fault," he said.
"It's not," Kendall said moving his hand from Logan's chin to his cheek. Logan leaned into Kendall's touch. "It was the snow and the other car," he said. Logan closed his eyes and nodded his head. Kendall was right, but he couldn't help but feel guilty. Kendall moved his hand to the back of Logan's neck and pulled him into a kiss. Logan melted against Kendall. Kendall pulled back and rested his forehead against Logan's forehead.
"Thanks," Logan said, "now come on we need to make sure the guest room is ready," he said. The two walked down the hall to the guest room. Logan moved about getting the room ready while Kendall stood in the doorway watching Logan fuss about the room.
"Everything's fine Logie," Kendall said laughing. Logan looked over his shoulder at Kendall and sighed.
"I know I just want things to be perfect," Logan said, "I mean they don't really like you and I just want them to be as comfortable as possible," he said. Kendall nodded his head. He knew what Logan meant. Logan started to walk around the bed.
"You know I've met your grandparents, but you have yet to meet mine," Kendall said. Logan stopped in his tracks and looked at Kendall. He looked at Kendall trying to see if he was serious or not. "I'm serious," Kendall said.
"Can we not talk about this right now?" Logan asked, "I just want to get through this weekend without giving my grandparents more reason to not like you," he said. Kendall sighed and hung his head. Logan was right, he didn't need to fuel the fire right now. Logan was really on the edge right now, and he was really emotional. He did not need to upset Logan right now. Logan finished fussing about the room and he and Kendall made their way down stairs to the living room. Kendall sat down on the couch and Logan sat down in Kendall's lap. Kendall smiled and put his arms around Logan. "I love how you don't mind that I don't even ask," Logan said.
"I'm used to it," Kendall said grinning. He pressed his lips to Logan's neck in a light kiss. The two settled down and started to watch TV until they heard the front door open. Logan sighed and moved to stand but Kendall held him in place. "Wait," he said.
"Logan, Joanna," Jack called out.
"Come on," Kendall said urging Logan to stand up. Logan stood up and they both walked out of the living room and into the hallway. Joanna was there greeting her parents, Rita and Dick.
"Grandma Ruth, Grandpa Dick," Logan said walking over to them. Rita took one look at Logan and saw his arm in a sling. Logan suddenly realized they didn't know about his accident.
"What happened to you?" Rita asked.
"Oh my shoulder," Logan said, "I was goofing around and fell on my shoulder, it's nothing too bad just a broken collar bone," he said.
"Hello Kendall," Rita said.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Henderson," Kendall said nodding his head. Rita and Dick looked at Kendall for a moment. Kendall knew they were probably thinking it was his fault Logan was hurt.
"Where are my grandbabies," Rita asked turning her attention to Joanna.
"In the nursery," Joanna said. She then led them from the room to go see the twins. Logan looked at James and Camille.
"They hate me," Kendall said to Logan.
"They don't hate you," Logan said shaking his head. "Now, come on let's go watch TV," he said to James and Camille as Jack went after Joanna. The other two nodded and they walked to the living room together. Kendall and Logan sat down in the arm chair and James and Camille sat down on the couch. Logan got comfortable in Kendall's lap and turned his attention to the TV.
Logan yawned as he laid back against Kendall in his bed. They had spent the day together and only had a few awkward moments with Rita and Dick. Right now, they were relaxing before Kendall had to leave.
"Don't go," Logan said as he looked up at Kendall.
"I have to," Kendall said, "you know how your mom is," he said.
"It's not like we can do anything with my shoulder like this," Logan said looking at Kendall pleadingly. "I mean you'll just be coming back tomorrow anyways," he said.
"I know, but you know you're mom," Kendall said.
"Stay here I'll go ask," Logan said. He stood up and walked from his room and down stairs to the nursery. Joanna and Rita were in there playing with the twins. Logan stood there for a minute. Logan knocked on the door and walked into the room.
"Mom," Logan said when Joanna turned to look at him.
"Hey sweetie," Joanna said smiling, "what's up?" she asked.
"I was wondering if Kendall could stay the night?" Logan asked.
"Logan," Joanna started.
"Before you say no, he'll just be coming over tomorrow anyways since Mrs. Knight is coming over to help you cook anyways," Logan said quickly. "Please," he said sticking his lower lip out.
"Logan I don't," Joanna began.
"Oh come on it's not like we have school tomorrow you let him stay over on the weekends," Logan said.
"Logan I am not going to have this argument," Joanna said.
"Oh come on mom, it's not like we can do anything with my shoulder," Logan said, "I am still in a lot of pain," he said. He shifted his shoulder as a sharp prang of pain shot through his shoulder. Joanna looked over at Rita before sighing.
"Fine, as long as Jennifer says it's ok," Joanna said. Logan smiled and ran over to Joanna and hugged her his anger forgotten. Logan then turned to leave the room.
"Wait," Rita said. Logan stopped mid step and turned to face Rita. He did not want to hear her rant about how Kendall couldn't stay over. He loved her, but he did not like that she tried to shove her views down her throat. Rita looked at Logan before standing up. She seemed to be examining Logan. She looked him up and down. "Joanna," she said.
"Yes mother," Joanna said.
"Is he?" Rita asked.
"Yes," Joanna said.
"Am I what?" Logan asked. Rita's eyes drifted to Logan's stomach and Logan knew what she was asking. "How did you know?" he asked.
"Your mother told me when she first found out years ago," Rita said, "I can just tell," she said.
"Are you mad?" Logan asked looking at her. He knew she was strongly against premarital sex. This was definitely something Rita did not like. Logan now knew that it was his grandparents that had talked David into marrying Joanna.
"I'm disappointed, but not mad," Rita said, "I know times are different now," she said. Logan nodded his head and looked at Joanna.
"You can go," Joanna said. Logan nodded and left the room. He knew what Rita wanted to say. She probably wanted him and Kendall to get married. Logan didn't want that. He didn't want to marry Kendall just because they were having a kid together. If he married Kendall he wanted it to be because he loved him. He hoped he and Kendall would get there eventually. Logan made his way back to his room. Kendall was sitting on his bed.
"I talked her into it even with my grandma in the room," Logan said smiling. Kendall pulled his cell phone out to call his mother. After a quick conversation that included a little begging Jennifer agreed. Logan cheered and kissed Kendall. Kendall lost his balance and fell backward with Logan. "Ow," Logan hissed as his shoulder hit Kendall's.
"I am sorry, you caught me off guard," Kendall said.
"I know," Logan said as he rolled off Kendall and sat up.
"Do you need something for your shoulder?" Kendall asked worriedly. Logan shook his head.
Dak took a deep breath as he got off the bus. He was only going home to see his family. He didn't know why he felt so nervous about this. He had seen them last over the summer. He had stopped his weekly weekend visits when the school year started. He walked out of the bus station and saw his Cyndi and Zeke waiting for him. He smiled an forget his nerves. He knew it was Curt he was nervous about seeing. He didn't know what to expect with Curt.
"Mom, dad," he said as he ran up to them. He threw his arms around Cyndi in a hug. Cyndi was a whole head shorter than Dak. She hugged him back though with as much ferocity as Dak. "I missed you guys," he said.
"We missed you too," Cyndi said. She let go of Dak and he moved to give Zeke a hug as well.
"How's school?" Cyndi asked.
"I like school in Duluth better, but it's strange not seeing you guys every day," Dak said after they finished their greetings. "Where's Curt?" he asked looking around for his twin brother.
"At home," Cyndi said.
"Come on, we should get going," Zeke said. Dak nodded his head and got into the back seat of his parents car. He was staying for the weekend. Tom and Frank would come and get him on Sunday. Dak was not looking forward to four days without Jett.
"So, mom are grandma and grandpa coming this year?" Dak asked. He knew they probably weren't coming at all. He knew where they stood on gays and things like that.
"No, they aren't coming," Cyndi said.
"When they first heard about you and Curt they wanted us to send you to a camp to make you guys straight," Zeke said. Dak nodded his head. He had expected that. He knew his grandparents too well. They hadn't talked to Tom since he graduated high school. Tom didn't mind it anymore. He was over it, Dak would get over it too. He knew not to get his hopes up.
The drive was spent with a light conversation. Dak felt right at home. He had missed this, but he liked living with Tom and Frank and Jo. He missed Jett too. He was planning on moving out with Jett after they graduated. They were both planning on staying in Duluth for college and going to UMD.
They arrived home and Dak slowly got out of the car. He grabbed his bag and slung it over his shoulder. He looked up to the door as it opened to reveal Curt. They locked eyes and grinned at one another. Dak ran up the driveway and onto the porch.
"Hey," Curt said.
"Hey," Dak said. They looked at one another for a moment before Dak moved into to give Curt a hug. "I missed you," he said.
"I missed you to," Curt said returning the hug.
"Ok, boys let's go inside," Zeke said walking up to them. Curt and Dak did as well. The small family settled down in the living room and Curt was the first to ask the question everyone was dying to ask.
"So, when are we gonna meet Jett?" Curt asked, "I mean I know I met him before, but he's your boyfriend now," he said.
"I don't know," Dak said, "that's up to you, I wasn't sure how you were doing," he said.
"I am doing great," Curt said honestly, "I've been getting help and everything, I think it took you leaving for me to realize what I was doing," he said. Dak nodded his head. He was glad Curt was owning up to what he had done. He was changing and just the few minutes Dak had spent with him he could tell Curt was changed.
Yeah when are we gonna meet him?" Cyndi asked.
"Soon," Dak said, "I wanted to come and see how things were now, and then you'd meet him when you come up for Christmas," he said.
"Sounds like a plan to me," Curt said. Dak grinned and nodded his head. He was just so glad that Curt was changing.
"Ok Dak, Curt there's something we'd like to tell you now that Dak's here," Cyndi said getting Dak and Curt's attention. Both boys turned to their parents confused.
"What's up?" Dak asked.
"Well, your mother's pregnant," Zeke said cutting to the chase. Dak and Curt's jaws dropped in surprise.
"Mom, is that safe?" Dak asked, "I remember you telling me that after Curt and I you couldn't get pregnant again," he said.
"There's a risk, but if we do this right everything will be just fine," Cyndi said. Dak and Curt looked at one another. They didn't know what to say.
"This is great," Curt said finally. Dak nodded his head in agreement. He didn't know what else to think. He had not expected this to happen.
"So do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Dak asked.
"A girl," Cyndi said. Dak smiled. He had always wanted a sister and now he was gonna get one. Dak smiled as he and Curt stood up. They both walked over to Cyndi and gave her a hug.
Logan, Kendall, Katie, James, Camille, Jack, and Dick were all sitting in the living room waiting for Joanna, Jennifer, and Rita to announce that the food was ready. Jack, Dick, James, and Kendall were watching the football game while the others talked quietly amongst themselves. Logan was sitting in Kendall's lap as he talked to Camille and Katie. Kendall didn't mind, but Logan knew Dick wanted to say something to him. He was glad he didn't. Everyone else was used to this by now, they didn't say anything.
"Ok, everyone," Rita said as she walked into the living room. "The food is done," she said. Everyone stood up and made their way to the dining room where they had two tables pushed together. Logan and Kendall were the last two in the room. Logan caught a whiff of the turkey and his stomach lurched. He cupped a hand to his mouth and ran from the room. Kendall followed after him. Logan ran to the bathroom and threw up. Kendall was right behind him.
"You ok?" Kendall asked when he finished.
"Yeah, it's just the turkey," Logan said, "remember my new aversion to poultry," he said. He sat back and looked at Kendall who nodded. Logan had told Kendall last night that his grandma knew and his grandpa probably knew now too.
"Logan," Jack called as he walked down the hall. Logan flushed the toiler and stood up. He and Kendall walked out of the bathroom.
"I am sorry," Logan said, "but just the smell of turkey makes me sick," he said to Jack.
"Can you join us or is it that bad?" Jack asked.
"I can try," Logan said.
"Don't push yourself," Kendall said.
"I said I would do it," Logan snapped. Kendall looked at Logan and Logan sighed. "Sorry," he muttered.
"No need to apologize," Kendall said, "now let's go," he said. The three walked back to the kitchen. Logan wrinkled his nose and was glad his and Kendall's seats were away form the turkey. Logan avoided the turkey and so did Kendall. He didn't eat any because he knew it bugged Logan. Logan smiled and placed his hand on Kendall's knee under the table as he waited for James to get done helping him make his plate.
After everyone ate they all made their way to the living room to talk and just hang out. Logan was sitting on the couch playing with Arianna. Logan had started to play with Zack and Arianna more. He loved helping Joanna with them. He wouldn't admit it, but it was because he was getting ready for his own. Kendall was sitting beside him and laughing at the faces he was making. Logan stuck his tongue out at Kendall and went back to making faces. Camille was holding Zack and trying to keep him calm. The adults were talking and James and Katie were sitting side by side on the couch just talking.
"You're great with her," Kendall whispered after awhile. Logan smiled and nodded his head.
"Yeah, she loves me," Logan said. Arianna reached up and grabbed Logan's glasses and threw them to the floor and started giggling. "Oh you think that's funny?" he asked making faces at her. Kendall grabbed his glasses. Logan put them back on and shifted Arianna so his glasses were just out of her reach. "Ken can you go get her a rattle?" Logan asked when she started to get fussy since she couldn't reach Logan's glasses. Kendall nodded and kissed Logan's temple before getting up. Kendall left the room and Logan shifted Arianna bit. It was hard holding her with one arm, but he was managing.
