So I'd like to thank annabellex2, winterschild11, Franshes, Charlie-Rose94, tiffany EvansBTR, Sir RCCS, and cicibunbuns for taking the extra time to review. Sorry for the wait guys. I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 2: Elijah Jacob

Kendall moved about the bedroom getting ready for the day. Kyle and Leora had left to school already. Jenny was still sleeping. James had kicked him out of the kitchen. He said he could handle it.

Kendall sighed and sat down on the bed. James was still treating him like a glass doll. James meant well, but Kendall wasn't incapable of cleaning up the kitchen. It wasn't too much stress. It was what you did as a parent. You cleaned up after your kids, even if they were old enough to clean up after themselves.

"So what's on the agenda for today?" James asked walking into the room.

Kendall looked over to his husband. "Meetings, planning for Inside Joke's tour, and Kyle's interview," He shrugged.

"Tour?" James asked.

"Yeah, this spring after the baby is born," Kendall said, "after Kyle graduates," he added quickly.

"Just-" James started.

"Take it easy?" Kendall asked as he stood up. He walked over to James. "I know, James." He leaned in and pecked James on the lips.

"Sorry, I just worry about you," James said growing slightly.

"I'm fine James," Kendall assured his husband. He led James over to the bed. He made him sit down. "I am taking better care of myself James. Don't worry."

"Kendall-" James started.

Kendall silenced him with a kiss. He brought his hands up to the back of James' neck. He ran a hand through his hair, something he knew James loved. Kendall was the only person ever allowed to touch his hair.

"Don't worry so much Jamie, you'll end up like me," Kendall said shaking his head. "I'm fine. The doctor said I'm healthy and to keep doing what I doing," he pecked James on the lips once more.

"Ok," James said.

Kendall leaned in and kissed James once more. He felt James relax finally. This was good. He hadn't gotten this far in months. Kendall shifted them until James was laying under him. He trailed his lips down James' neck. He felt his husband shudder underneath him.

The doorbell rang. James seemed to come back to his senses. He pushed Kendall up. Kendall sighed and sat back. He knew he had lost James.

"That's probably Marcie, and you need to get to work," James said quickly. He left the room.

Kendall groaned as he rolled onto his back. He had been so close. It had been awhile since he and James had had any alone time. Everyone Kendall tired anything James stopped him. Kendall knew he would never say it out loud, but he was scared of giving Kendall another heart attack. Kendall was starting to get a little frustrated with this. He had to find a way to make James see that he really was fine.

-Happy Mistakes-

Jake yawned as he walked along with Adam. They were taking the kids to the park. Jake was so ready to have this baby. He was a week past his due date and so uncomfortable.

"So, anything yet?" Adam asked looking to his brother as they entered the park.

"No, this kid is stubborn," Jake groaned.

"Relax, he'll come when he's ready," Adam chuckled. "With Miri I was early and Kenny was late. Every baby is different." He let Miri go play with the other kids and brought Kenny over to the benches. Jake followed him.

"I know, this just sucks. I just want him out so Damien can deal with this too. He's not much help," Jake complained.

"Trust me I know the feeling, but don't rush it," Adam replied looking up from his son. "Besides there are ways to induce. Walking is one of them, spicy foods can help, or you know...sex," He said grinning.

"I'm sure Damien doesn't want any of this," Hake said gesturing to himself.

"That, my dear husband, is where you are wrong."

Jake jumped and turned to see Damien standing behind him with a smile. Jake arched a brow at him in question.

"In any state Jake, I will always want you and love you no matter what," Damien replied.

"I thought you had class?" Adam said.

"Yeah, but apparently you can't teach while drunk, professor Troy was escorted off the premises and all
His classes are canceled until further notice," Damien said shrugging.

"Professor Troy?" Jake questioned.

"Yeah, apparently his wife left him and he had a breakdown I guess," Damien shrugged.

"That's crazy," Adam said.

"Day-Day!"

Damien turned just in time to catch Miri. He picked her up and gave her a big hug.

"Is it bad that I just want this kid to hurry up?" Jake whined.

Damien and Adam chuckled but didn't say a word. Anything they could say would only piss Jake off. Neither wanted that.

-Happy Mistakes-

Kyle fidgeted as he was fitted with a microphone. He was doing his first radio interview for his album. He was nervous, excited, and everything in between. He just had to relax and remember everything Kendall had told him.

"Ok, now just remember, talk about your album. They don't want to hear every detail just the juicy ones," Kendall said.

"Like my duets with Avery and Jared?" Kyle asked.

"Go ahead, I mean everyone already knows you're doing something with Jared," Kendall replied.

"Don't ever say that again," Kyle said cringing away from his dad. "That sounds wrong coming from you," he added quickly to Kendall's confused look.

"You know what I meant," Kendall replied rolling his eyes at his son.

"Still that sounds so wrong coming from you," Kyle said shaking his head.

"Just don't give away too much yet you want to keep them guessing," Kendall said.

"Ok what about my other duet?" Kyle asked with a smile.

"Let's keep that between you and I for now," Kendall replied with a smile of his own.

"Ok Kyle, they're ready for you."

Kyle looked up to his half sister Penelope. She had agreed to come along. It helped ease Kyle's nerves a bit to have someone other than his dad here.

Over the summer Kendall and Penelope had come out with their story. Everyone lost their minds. There were rumors of Kendall leaving his family to be with Penelope and Jo. It was nuts. Kendall and James had both tried to set the record straight, but nobody cared. The rumors still went around. Penelope had to learn to deal with people following her around. She didn't like it too much, but this was the price she was willing to pay. She had spent more time with Kyle. He taught her a few tricks on how to get people to leave her alone. They had bonded over the last few months, Kendall was glad that they were getting along so well.

"Thanks Pen," Kyle said.

"No problem, just remember to smile and keep your answers short. You'll do fine," Penelope replied.

"I hope so," Kyle said with a smile.

"Come on dork," Penelope said slinging her arm over his shoulders. She led him away from Kendall.

Kendall watched the two with a smile. It was nice to see them getting along. Kendall had been so worried that his kids wouldn't like Penelope. That they would hate her. In fact it was the opposite. Kyle treated Penelope like a sister. It was a nice sibling bond the two had grown to share. The other three also accepted Penelope, but it was nothing like Kyle. Maybe it had to do with the fact that they worked together.

"Dad?"

Kendall snapped out of his thoughts. He looked to Kyle who had returned.

"Are you coming?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah," Kendall said nodding his head. He walked over to his son. Kyle took off once more. Kendall chuckled and followed him.

-Happy Mistakes-

Leora bounced as she made her way up to the condo. Lilly had called and invited her over. Logan was working so she was alone. Leora would never pass on an opportunity to hang with her best friend. Especially since in a few months she would be leaving for college.

Leora knocked on the door before entering. She called out to Lilly.

"I'm in the kitchen!" Lilly called back.

Leora made her to the kitchen. She saw Lilly rummaging through the cupboards. There was a bowl of strawberries on the counter with an open jar of peanut butter beside it.

"So how are those cravings?" Leora asked.

"Huh? What cravings?" Lilly asked turning to face her friend. She looked to the strawberries and peanut butter and gave a sheepish smile. "At least I'm not eat pickles and ice cream like Adam used to."

"Oh yes that's gross," Leora said nodding her head.

"So I have the night off wanna go do something fun?" Lilly asked changing gears.

"Sure what did you have in mind?" Leora asked.

"I haven't gotten that far yet," Lilly admitted.

Leora laughed and nodded her head. "Wanna go see what's playing in theaters?" She asked. Lilly nodded her head and Leora whipped her phone out.

"So what's Kyle up to?" Lilly asked.

"He's got an interview for his album. The release is still a few months away, but dad wants to get the buzz started," Leora replied.

"Right, the more people get excited the more they will want to buy his album," Lilly said bobbing her head. She grabbed her strawberries and her peanut butter and started munching again.

"So any preferences on what movie you wanna see?" Leora asked looking at her phone once more.

"I don't care, surprise me," Lilly said, "I just want to get out of here for a bit."

-Happy Mistakes-

Lucas sighed content as he leaned back against his boyfriend, Artie Griffin. They had gone for a walk through the Palm Woods park, and we're now relaxing in Artie's apartment.

"Wanna watch a movie or something?" Artie asked.

"Sure," Lucas said sitting up so Artie could grab his remote.

"Anything in particular," Artie asked.

"Action or suspense," Lucas shrugged.

Artie quickly picked a movie. The two settled back once more. Lucas felt content for the first time in a long time.

"I have a question," Artie said after a while.

"Shoot," Lucas said.

"Are you ashamed of me?" Artie asked.

"What?" Lucas asked sitting up. He looked to his boyfriend confused. "No, I'm like super proud to call you mine."

"Well it's just...you lie to your parents about me. You tell them you're with Miles or Kyle and I feel...like you're scared of admitting that we are a couple because I'm...you know-" Artie started.

"Ok stop right there Arthur Griffin, I don't care if you're transgendered or from Mars, I love you and nothing is going to change that," Lucas said firmly.

"You what?" Artie gasped shocked.

In the few months that they had been dating, neither of them had uttered the 'L' word. They had danced around it. Lucas had been scared to tell Artie, incase he wasn't in the same place as him. He didn't want to weird him out. It was too late now.

"I said I love you," Lucas said his cheeks turning red. "You don't have to say it back or anything."

"I love you too," Artie said with a smile. "But why lie to your parents?"

"My parents don't like you because they don't like the idea of me dating someone with Hollywood connections, they don't really like that my birth parents are connected to Hollywood," Lucas explained.

"Why?" Artie asked confused.

"Because they think it's having a negative impact on me. Like once the story broke about me and Miles, people went nuts and followed us around everywhere," Lucas said.

"Oh, I had no idea," Artie said.

"Yeah, it was a bit much, but I got used to it, now people have moved on to the next big thing. I don't get why my parents are being so uncool about it," Lucas sighed.

"Maybe if you actually let me meet them then they might change their minds," Artie suggested.

"Maybe, let me break the news to them first. I don't wanna feed you to the dogs," Lucas said.

"Ok," Artie said nodding his head. "I'd like it if you were to meet my grandpa. He's been one of my biggest supporters," he said.

"Sure," Lucas said with a smile. "I would love to meet your family. I wanna know more about you."

"Good, cause Grandpa Art wants to take us out to dinner so he can get to know you," Artie said with a smile.

"When and where?" Lucas asked.

-Happy Mistakes-

Noah smiled as he looked over himself in his tux. It was custom made and it was awesome. The jacket was white and pants were black. He was also wearing a white shirt, and a royal blue vest and tie.

Noah looked himself once more. It was hard to believe that his wedding was only three months away. It was getting closer and closer. Noah was getting anxious. December couldn't get here fast enough.

A whistle brought Noah from his thoughts. He turned to see Matt standing behind him. Matt was wearing a similar attire to Noah, except his vest and tie were gold.

"Looking good No, Roldy's gonna be drooling," Matt said winking at his friend.

"Thanks Matty," Noah chuckled.

"How is everything?"

Their tailor, Jessa, walked into the room. She smiled at them.

"Great, everything fits," Noah said stepping down from the stool he was on.

"And you?" Jessa asked looking to Matt.

"My jacket is a bit big," Matt said taking Noah's place. Jessa started taking measurements.

"We'll take it in, don't worry," Jessa said quickly.

The fitting was finished and the two left. Noah was on cloud nine. He was still thinking if his wedding.

"So what's next?" Matt asked as they walked along together.

"The florist, Ro and Jer are gonna meet us there," Noah said quickly.

"I still can't believe you guys are getting married in like, three months," Matt said shaking his head.

"I know, it can't get here fast enough," Noah said excitedly.

"Are you scared?" Matt asked arching a brow at his friend.

"Scared of what?" Noah asked confused.

"That's a no," Matt chuckled.

"What's there to be scared of?" Noah asked seriously. "It's Roldy, he's my everything. He makes me happy when I'm sad. He is everything I'm not. He is amazing and I know that I want to spend my life with him. Getting married is just a way of showing everyone that we love each other. It's a deeper bond."

"It's also kind of like a permanent thing. It's something you have to be ready for. I don't think I could go through with it," Matt said shaking his head.

"Not even with Pen?" Noah asked mentioning Matt's current girlfriend.

"The scary part is I can imagine doing it with her," Matt said lowly.

"Aw, is my little Matty in love?" Noah gasped throwing his arms around Matt.

"Shut up," Matt said shoving Noah away. "And little? I'm taller than you and older than you."

"By like two months," Noah said waving his hand, "you're more emotionally stunted that I am too. I'm just happy for you!"

"Emotionally stunted?" Matt asked arching a brow at Noah.

"So have you been thinking of asking Pen?" Noah asked changing the subject.

"Once, but it's too soon," Matt said quickly.

"Not when you're in love. You just know," Noah replied.

"It's different for you and Ro. You guys have known each other forever. Pen and I haven't. We're still learning and we're not even living together yet. What if she doesn't like the way I keep the bathroom or my snoring. She tells me it's loud. What if she can't stand it, if we move in together. What if she expects me to cook? I can't cook!" Matt said quickly.

"Oh, you're so adorable Matty," Noah cooed.

"Shut up," Matt said his face turning red. He sprinted to their car. Noah laughed and chased after him.

"It's ok Matty, it's nothing to be afraid of," Noah called as he ran. "Love is a beautiful thing. You should cherish it because not many people find it anymore."

"Thanks for the tip No," Matt said as they reached the car. "I'm not like you though. I don't do things impulsively like you do. I've got to think about it and plan things out."

"Well maybe you should," Noah said matter-of-factly.

"The last time I did, it didn't work out for me," Matt admitted.

Noah looked at Matt confused, before it clicked in his brain. "No, that didn't work out because she was a Bitch, with a capital B-I-T-C-H. You did nothing wrong Matty. She was awful and you are lucky that didn't work out." Matt smiled at that. "Also Penelope is a million times better than her. Pen loves you and would definitely say yes, when the time comes," he added as he unlocked the car. He got in. Matt followed him.

"You think so?" Matt asked.

"I know so," Noah said nodding his head.

-Happy Mistakes-

Logan glanced down at the file sitting on the seat beside him. He was on his way to see Carlos. They needed to talk and get things sorted out. Logan needed to know where they stood. It had been months since the two had held any kind of conversation. Carlos was still mad that Logan accepted Lilly's decision to give up the baby.

Logan sighed as he pulled into the familiar driveway. He hastily stuffed the papers into his messenger bag. He grabbed it and made his way up to the house. He knocked on the door.

Several seconds later the door opened to reveal James.

"Hey Logan, what's up?" James asked.

"Is Kendall here? I need to talk to him," Logan said slowly.

"No, he's working," James said slowly. He could sense something was up. "What's wrong?"

"Are you home alone?" Logan asked.

"I've got Jenny and Miri the others are all gone. Is something wrong," James asked.

"I did something stupid today," Logan said walking into the house. He dug in his bag and held out the papers to James.

"Holy crap these are divorce papers," James said shocked. He looked them over. "And you all ready signed them."

"Tell me not to go through with it," Logan begged. He knew this was crazy. He just needed to hear it from someone else.

"Is this what you really want?" James asked.

"I don't know," Logan admitted. "It's been almost five months since we separated and he's not doing anything to try and save this marriage. I don't know if I want to forgive him either...I just..." Logan trailed off not sure what to say anymore.

"I don't know what to tell you Logan," James said handing the papers back to the other brunette.

The door opened behind them and Kendall and Kyle entered the house. Kendall looked at the papers and told Kyle to go to his room. Kyle just waved him off and took off up the stairs.

"Tell me you didn't sign them," Kendall said snatching the papers from Logan.

"Kendall you don't understand-" Logan started.

"You're nuts, I told you you need to talk to him first. You need to try and fix it first," Kendall said.

"You knew about this?" James asked.

"I told him not to. He mentioned it, I didn't think he'd actually go through with it," Kendall said looking to Logan.

"He doesn't want to fix it," Logan snapped.

"How do you know? You guys haven't talked since the day you moved out. I think the one who doesn't want to fix things is you," Kendall said.

"Kendall," James gasped shocked.

"You're scared and this is a cop out," Kendall said handing the papers back to Logan.

"Kendall," James said again.

"Maybe you're right, but if he wanted to fix things he's had plenty of time as well," Logan replied looking down at the papers.

"This is stupid, you're being ridiculous," Kendall said shaking his head.

"If I may interject here."

The three adults looked to the top of the stairs. Kyle was standing there leaning against the railing, looking down at them.

"I said go to your room," Kendall said.

"Not all relationships last. If you're not happy you have to do what you think is best. Even if everybody else tells you it's wrong," Kyle said looking to Logan. "Lilly and I were doomed from the start. We both realize that now. I'm not telling you to go through with that," he said pointing to the papers Logan was holding, "You just have to take a step back and think about why you're in this relationship and why it's worth fighting for."

"Where did you hear that," Logan asked shocked at how adult Kyle sounded.

"Believe it or not, dad told me that one," Kyle admitted.

"You do listen," Kendall said surprised as well.

"Yes I do, I hear what you have to say and most of the time I just disagree. You promised me you'd listen to me about my album and it's...if I hadn't gotten Kelly involved when I did, it would sound more like rehash of Big Time Rush than it would sound like me," Kyle said. "Listening works two ways dad."

"Ok I get it," Kendall said, "room. Now."

Kyle put his hands up and turned around. He walked away.

"You should listen to your son," Logan said taking a step back as Kendall punched his arm. "Ow, violence doesn't solve everything."

"Shut up, just think about what you're doing Loges. It's a big decision." Kendall said shaking his head. He obviously still wasn't happy about this.

Kyle quickly came running down the stairs with his phone in his hand. He stopped in front of the three adults. Kendall opened his mouth to scold his son, but Kyle cut him off.

"Jake's in labor."

-Happy Mistakes-

Damien sighed as he sunk into a chair. Jake had been in the hospital now for three hours. The nurses were saying it would take some time, even though Jake's water had broken.

"Ok so I could get a hold of dad or pops. I called Kyle and he said he'd tell them," Adam said walking into the room.

"What about my parents?" Damien asked.

"Your mom is excited and she is on her way. She's trying to get ahold of your dad," Adam replied.

"Thanks Addie," Damien said.

"No problem, I also called Leora and she said she'd be here soon," Adam said.

"Is Cooper with the kids?" Jake asked.

"Yeah we've got Miri coloring and Kenny is full with a clean diaper and fast asleep for the time being," Adam said.

"Look at you super dad," Damien laughed.

"I wouldn't say super," Adam said his cheeks turning red slightly, "more like amazingly awesome dad." His puffed his chest out proudly.

Jake and Damien laughed at that. Jake's laughter was cut short as another contraction hit.

"Their getting closer together, that's a good sign," Adam said, "hopefully it won't be too much longer."

"Yeah hopefully," Jake groaned. "This kid seems to like taking his time."

"Relax, it helps to not think about it too much," Adam said.

"Sure, let me not think about the pain I'm in and how this kid just wants to take his good old time getting here, yeah let me do that," Jake said sarcastically.

"Jake stop it, he's just trying to help," Damien chastised his husband. "I mean he's got two kids already, maybe he know a thing or two."

"Just a little, pops probably knows lore that I do he went through it four times," Adam said quickly.

There was a knock at the door. It opened to reveal Camille. She walked into the room with a big smile.

"So, where are we at?" Camille asked.

"Five last time they checked,"Jake replied.

"That's halfway," Camille said, her smile still in place. It was no secret that Camille was excited to meet her grandson.

"Where's dad?" Damien asked.

"He's at work, in a meeting. He'll be here as soon as he can," Camille said.

"Don't worry Day, he will be here. This kids not going anywhere for awhile yet," Jake said.

"Yes sweetie, Jake's only at five it could take a couple more hours," Camille said.

Jake groaned as he fell back on the bed. Adam patted Jake's shoulder.

"It'll be fine Jake, once he's here and you get to hold him, nothing else will matter," Adam said.

"Yeah, it's special moment, it will make everything worth it to see your precious little boy," Camille said. "I remember when I was pregnant with Damien we had been so excited. They told me I was having a girl and we got everything prepared. I splurged and bought dresses. I had everything ready, then the day he was born it was a shock."

"A girl?" Adam asked as Damien hid his face. He had obviously heard the story.

"Yep, he was supposed to be my little Sophia, instead we got Damien. I fell in love with him the moment I held him. I didn't care that we bought dresses for nothing or that all the stuff I had was for Sophia. I just knew that my boy was special and I would do anything for him." Camille explained.

Another knock at the door as it opened. James and Kendall walked in with Steve right behind them. They were talking and laughing.

"What's so funny?" Camille asked.

"Oh, I was just telling Kendall and James that some women at my office think I'm too young to be a grandpa," Steve said looking to Damien. "Some of them didn't even know my son was twenty," he added.

"Because I'm twenty-one," Damien replied quickly.

"Way to make me feel old," Steve sighed.

"It's what I do," Damien answered with a smile.

"You never do it to your mother," Steve pointed out.

"Yeah, well moms young and beautiful and she always will be," Damien said placing an arm around her shoulders.

"That's my boy," Camille said giving him a side hug, with a big smile of her own.

"See, this is what I have to deal with," Steve said turning to Kendall and James.

"I know the feeling," Kendall replied.

"How are you feeling Jake?" James asked bringing attention back to Jake.

"Oh you know, just having a baby, don't mind me though carry on with your conversation," Jake said sarcastically.

"Now that sounds familiar," Kendall said looking to James.

"What? Me? I wasn't that bad," James said.

"Yes you were," Kendall shot back.

The door opened behind them and Leora ran into the room and straight to Jake. Lilly was standing in the doorway awkwardly.

"I'm not too late am I?" Leora asked.

"No Le, this kids stubborn," Jake replied with a small chuckle.

"How far along are you?" Leora asked curiously.

"Five last time they checked and it could be awhile still," Jake replied.

"Just give him some time Jake. He's almost ready. Being born is a big thing. It the baby's first milestone. Don't rush it," Leora said.

"I know, it's just...you'll understand when you're in my place, hopefully not for a while though," Jake said.

"I promise," Leora said holding out her pinkie to her big brother. He smiled and linked his pinkie with hers.

"What's it like?" Lilly asked as she moved to stand by Leora.

"It feels like it's taking forever," Jake said.

"Does it hurt?" Lilly asked. Jake smiled and answered any questions Lilly had. She was curious after all. She didn't have too much longer before she would be in his place.

-Happy Mistakes-

Jared followed Roldy and Noah down the hall to their apartment. They had gone out to eat after a long day of wedding planning. They were tired and ready to go to bed. They entered the apartment to the TV blaring and no one in sight.

Jared ran over to the tv and turned it off. He turned ready to yell at Jackie for leaving the TV on when he froze. He saw two girls sleeping on the couch. One had dark hair like him and the other a brunette.

Jared knelt down and shook the dark haired girl gently. "Jill," he said softly. She stirred and rubbed her eyes.

"Jared!" Jill exclaimed. She shook Carly before hugging Jared. Once Carly was aware of her surroundings she jumped on Jared as well.

Jared had to force them to let go so he could breathe. "Not that I'm not happy to see you two, but who brought you here?"

"I did."

Jared looked up and saw Carter had entered the room with Jackie right behind him.

"Why? Do they know?" Jared asked as he walked over to his brothers. Roldy and Noah greeted the girls and occupied their attention.

"Mom asked me to watch them for the weekend. She told me to take them out of town. I think she was hinting to bring them here. They miss you Jared," Carter said.

"Seriously? I'm not gonna get like arrested for child abduction," Jared asked.

"Don't be petty," Carter said.

"He's serious Carter, dad would do something like that," Jackie said.

"As far as Dad knows I took them for the weekend," Carter assured them.

"Are you staying the night?" Jared asked.

"The weekend if you'll let us," Carter said.

"Of course, you and Jackie can share a room can't you?" Jared asked.

"Duh," Carter said.

"We're used to it," Jackie replied.

"Then Jill and Carly can have my bed and I can sleep on the couch," Jared added.

"Are you sure?" Carter asked.

"I'm not gonna make them sleep on the couch," Jared said nodding his head. "It's only one night, I'll be fine," Jared said.

"Guys don't fight," Jill said walking up to them.

"Please don't," Carly said softly.

"We're not fighting, we are having a heated discussion on where everyone is going to sleep," Jared replied.

"We can sleep on the couch," Jill and Carly chimed together.

"No, you two can take my bed and Jackie and Carter can sleep in Jackie's room. I'll sleep on the couch and that's the end of the discussion," Jared said with finality.

"Or, we could have a campout in the living room," Noah suggested.

"Yeah," Jill and Carly cheered.

"Sounds fun," Jared said nodding his head. He looked to his brothers. They both agreed.

"Did you guys bring extra clothes?" Jared asked his sisters. They nodded their heads. "Go get changed into some pajamas then and we will get the living room ready then," he said. Jill and Carly nodded. They took off to get changed.

"Ok let's find all the blankets and pillows we can," Noah said quickly.

The five guys set about searching for any blankets and pillows they could find. In the end they had enough pillows and blankets for everyone. Jill and Carly joined them.

"Monster movie marathon?" Jared asked looking around.

"Yes!" Jill exclaimed with Carly nodding her head. Noah, Roldy, and Jackie agreed as well.

"I feel out numbered," Carter sighed.

"As always, Carter is a wuss," Jared joked. Carter just stuck his tongue out.

"It's ok Carter, Jill and I will protect you," Carly said quickly causing the others to chuckle.

"Thanks Carls," Carter said with a smile. Carly quickly moved over to Carter and gave him a hug.

-Happy Mistakes-

Jake smiled as he looked down at the baby in his arms. It had taken almost all day, but here he was. Elijah Jacob Saunders was born. He weighed in at a whopping nine pounds on the dot and was twenty and a half inches long. He had dark hair like Damien and light eyes like Jake's. He was perfect.

"How are you feeling?" Damien asked.

"Tired," Jake admitted.

"Not surprising," Damien said softly. "My mom is in the waiting room telling everyone everything."

"I would expect nothing less of her," Jake chuckled tiredly. His body was aching and he wanted nothing more than to go to sleep, but he didn't want to let go of his son.

"You know they are all gonna wanna come see him for a bit," Damien said.

"I know, let them, it's alright," Jake said.

"Are you sure?" Damien asked.

"Yeah, they are excited like we are. It's this grandson and nephew," Jake said with a smile. "You hear that Eli they all wanna meet you." He looked down at his son who was staring wide eyed at him.

"I'll go let them know they can come in, but only for a little while," Damien said. He leaned over and pressed a kiss to Jake's forehead.

Damien left. Jake was alone. He looked down at the baby bundled in his arms. He couldn't believe that he was finally here. It was so strange, it felt like only yesterday he had found out he was pregnant. The time had just flown by, and now here he was holding his son in his arms for the first time.

This small boy was so precious. Jake couldn't explain it, but he was already so in love with this boy. He loved him more than life itself. It was strange. It was the bond that Camille had explained earlier. It was something special. Jake understood that now/

The door opened and Camille, Steve, Kendall, and James all walked into the room. Damien was right behind them.

"Hey, we just wanted to come say goodbye," Camille said in a soft voice.

"You just wanna hold Eli," Jake said with a small smile. Steve chuckled behind his wife.

"Can I?" Camille asked. Jake nodded his head. She carefully took the baby from Jake. She walked over to Steve. He was smiling as well.

"We're grandparents Mille," Steve said softly as he looked down at his grandson.

"I know," Camille said her smile never faded.

Jake watched the two for a moment. This was a big moment for them. This was their first grandchild. Jake watched his dad's. They stood back and let Camille and Steve have this moment as well. Jake caught James' attention and he moved closer to his son.

"Adam and Cooper had to leave, Miri threw a fit and Kendall was getting restless. They'll be back tomorrow to see Eli," James said.

"That's fine, what about Kyle and Leora," Jake asked.

"They are in the waiting room, I told them to wait a minute," James said. Jake nodded his head.

They looked back to Eli and saw Kendall was now holding him. Camille and Steve were talking to Damien now. Everything was just perfect.

-Happy Mistakes-

Kendall, James, Leora, and Kyle all walked into the house together. Leota was holding a sleeping Jenny in her had all met Eli and gotten and chance to hold him. Kendall was checking his voicemail as the other three talked about Eli.

Kyle and Leora said good night to Kendall and James and took off up the stairs.

"Kyle hold on," Kendall said as held a hand up to his son. Kyle stopped and turned to him. "I just got a message from Kelly."

"And?" Kyle said. Leora paused at the top of the stairs as well.

"We got the spot," Kendall said, "you're going to New York."

"The Today show?" Kyle asked his jaw dropping. Kendall nodded his head.

"That's so cool!" Leora said excitedly.

"Wow," Kyle said as he let the news sink in.

"Will he be missing school?" James asked quickly.

"It's for my album release next month. I will get all my homework and assignments before hand," Kyle said quickly. "I thought you said you were going to talk to him?" He said looking to Kendall.

"I didn't think we would hear back this quickly," Kendall said honestly.

"You two go to bed, your father and I need to talk," James said.

Kyle and Leora quickly took off up the stairs. James turned to Kendall who was smiling at him.

"Look, I was going to bring it up, but things have been crazy lately. Kyle and I have everything figured out. He's got his album release next month and he's been doing lots of interviews and he's working hard in school. I mentioned to doing a press tour and maybe a few television appearances and he jumped on. Him and Kelly went nuts and contacted a few places. He's got his heart set on this James," Kendall explained.

"Kendall he's got so much going on right now. He's got school and a baby on the way. Why couldn't this album wait?" James sighed as he walked down the hallway to kitchen.

Kendall followed his husband. "Because, you know Kyle. If I tell him no, he'll go behind my back and do it anyways. At least this way I'm there with him and helping him. I won't let anything bad happen to him," Kendall said

"I know we agreed to let him record, but I didn't think he'd get an album together this soon," James replied as he dug through the cupboards.

Kendall walked up to James and stopped him. He turned the brunette around. "Relax, I've got this, have I ever let you down before?"

"That's not what I mean, I just...this is a big thing Kendall! What if it doesn't work out like you plan? What if he's disappointed?" James asked.

"Then we made a mistake and it's back to the drawing board. Kyle know this is a hit and miss industry," Kendall said quickly, "he also knows that opportunities like this come once in a lifetime."

"Ok, I get it," James said nudging his husband.

"Everything will be alright James, our kids are growing up. They can take care of themselves, you know except for Jenny," Kendall said with a smile.

"I know, it feels like only yesterday we were new parents trying to figure out how to raise a baby," James sighed.

"I guess my mom was right," Kendall said slowly. "Time really does fly by."

There you go. So much to do so little time. Eli was born! Will Jake and Damien be able to handle their new bundle of joy? Is Matt in love? Will he ask Penelope to marry him? Jared got to see his sisters! Will his dad find out? Kyle is going to New York! Will he rock it? Or blow it? Will Logan go through with the divorce? How will Carlos react? So many questions!

Sorry for the delay. I've been working on this as well as the side fic for this series titled, In the Beginning. It will be the first five years of Kendall and James's lives as they adjust to being parents. It will also involved Carlos and Logan, and few other familiar characters as well. The first chapter should be out within the next few days, so if you wanna see baby Jake and baby Adam I suggest you keep an eye out for that.

As always more to come. Love you guys.

Always
