Chapter 14

The next morning everyone got up and ate breakfast.

"Alright everyone, what do you want to do today?"

"Lets go swimming!" suggested Carlos.

"Okay. Do you guys want to go swimming?"

Logan and James looked at each other. "Sure why not."

James and Carlos jumped and dived in the lake laughing and smiling. To Kendall, they looked like the happiest couple on earth. He knew that if he and Logan were given the chance to date, they might have been like that too. There was still time for them to be like that, that time was just not then. But there will be that time and Kendall would make sure of it. He looked down at the boy in his lap and couldn't help but hug that boy. Logan looked up at Kendall.

"What's wrong Kendall?"

"Nothing baby. I was just thinking about the future."

"You shouldn't think about the future."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you to."

"What? Why?"

"You might jinx us."

"How will I jinx you?"

"Something could happen to me."

"Like what?"

"I could get kidnapped or something."

Kendall laughed. "Kidnapped? Okay I need to get you out more often. Let's go for a walk. I don't think being stuck in the cottage for days at a time is good for you."

"Where are we going to walk to?"

"I don't know, are you up for a long walk?"

Logan nodded his head. "Yeah. I don't like being stuck inside all day. My mom told me that it is really good for the baby if I get some exercise. She said that my dad would always take her on long walks. She said that it would always calm me down. My dad told me that I kicked harder than my brothers." Kendall smiled at him and pecked him on the cheek.

"Carlos, James we are going to go for a walk, and don't wait up for us because I don't know how long we are going to be."

Carlos frowned, "Does that mean we have to figure out what we are going to eat on our own?"

Kendall took Logan's hand and was already wandering off with Logan when he answered, "I am sure you will think of something."

Carlos noticed the enthusiasm of the two boys and turned to his boyfriend. "What do you think they are going to do in there?"

James looked at him funny. "What do you think they are going to do? I think they are just going for a walk and talk. Hey look I just rhymed." James was jumping up and down.

Carlos jumped with him. "I think Kendall and Logan are gonna do it."

"Nah, Logan isn't ready. I mean I don't even think he knew what was happening the first time they did it. He probably freaked out. Anyways, he probably won't be ready until he has his next kid."

James stopped jumping and so did Carlos. "Don't they have to do it again to have another kid? Anyways do you think that we should get married James. I mean we don't have to if you don't want to. Because I understand that we have only just started going out, but you are a bearer and all. Don't you think they might make what they were gonna do to Logan. Do to you? We are seventeen. They are gonna find out and take you away. I don't want that to happen and since we aren't part of the royal family, you don't have to get pregnant right away. We could just get married."

James stayed quiet while Carlos talked. What he was saying made sense. When they were at the castle, they made him get tested. They left as soon as they found out he was a bearer. He really likes Carlos, but he wasn't ready to get married or have kids. Being a bearer was the only reason they left the castle. Seeing Kendall and Logan was just an added bonus. They figured that if they went to see Logan and Kendall, they would be safe and no one would be able to find them. But, again, what Carlos was saying made sense.

"I will think about it Carlos."

Carlos nodded his head and they both jumped back into the lake. They could worry about marriage later.

Kendall and Logan walked for about four miles before stopping and leaning against a tree.

"It is really hot out here. Do you have any water? I am really thirsty and I am really hungry." Logan said. He was swaying a little and his eyes were out of focus. He looked like he was about to pass out. Kendall grabbed Logan when

Logan almost lost his balance. Kendall lowered him to the ground and took out some water. There was some grass under the tree so the ground was cool. The tree also provided some cover from the hot sun. He didn't want Logan to have a heat stroke. He was already dehydrated.

"Logan, I think that we should head back to the cottage. I don't want you to get sick."

"No it's okay Kendall. I will be fine. We don't have to stop our walk just because I was feeling a little faint. Please, Kendall I really want to keep spending time with you. It is really nice and we are almost never alone anymore because of Carlos and James. I like having alone time with you. It's nice. We don't have to waste this day because I was feeling a little out of it. Look I am fine now. See, " Logan got up and spun and danced around a little bit to prove his point.

Kendall laughed at his lover. "Okay we can stay out here, but if I think that you are even a little bit out of it again, we are going straight back home."

Logan giggled at him.

"What are you laughing at?" Asked Kendall.

"You called our cottage home. Are we really going to live there forever?"

Kendall shrugged, "Well yeah. I mean Why not? It is the perfect place to live. It is toddler friendly and it's beautiful and it's hidden away where no one can find it. I mean think about it. It is the perfect place to raise the baby. You aren't heir to the throne so you don't have to stay at the castle. I am sure there are other safe houses anyway. Didn't your parents say that they were the last ones to live there? Your siblings must have kept their wives somewhere else. We don't need to save it for someone else. I can work in the city and provide for you and however many kids we decide to have. You could just be the stay at home parent. It would be the perfect life." Kendall told Logan. "I mean I know that you said not to think about the future and to just let life run it's self but I really think that the cottage was always meant to be our home."

Logan laughed at Kendall. "Kendall, I don't mind living there, but don't you think you making a big deal out of just one little cottage. You didn't have to go that far to convince me. I trust you to take care of me. I know that you will always make the best choices for us," Logan gestured to his stomach.

Kendall was confused. "Don't you want to have a say in what you do? I mean you always go along with me and you never argue. I get the feeling that sometimes you don't always agree. If you don't like something tell me. I don't want you to feel like you have to like something just because I like it."

"It is just the way I was raised. I am the submissive and you are the dominant. I am to do what you say and not argue or think much of it. I was taught that the dominant takes care of me and protects me. I am just doing what I am supposed to aren't I? I don't mind how you do things. I think your idea of having us stay at the cottage after I have the baby is a great one. I am just glad you liked the name for the baby. That is the only thing that I was told was an exception to the rule of not being aloud to demand something."

Kendall shook his head and laughed. "There are rules you have to follow? What the heck? Well Logan you don't ever have to follow those rules. I don't care if it is proper or what. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. I love you and I don't ever want you to think that you have to do anything those idiots taught you in that so called "school"."

Logan gasped. "You love me?"

Kendall nodded and kissed him hard. "I love you more than anything else in this world. I will never let anything happen to you and I will always protect you from anyone who ever tries to hurt you or take you away. I wouldn't live for you Logan because I would die for you. I love you so much and I don't want you to ever forget that."

Logan giggled and started kissing Kendall passionately. And in between kisses he said, "You… make it…sound… like you… just saved… my life… or… something dramatic like… that. I… love you… too… Kendall…Knight." Kendall and Logan made love for the rest of the day.

When they arrived back to the cottage Logan was covered in love bites and so was Kendall. They arrived to the smell of burning. Kendall turned to Logan. "Oh no, do you think they might have tried to make dinner?" They both ran into the cottage to see both Carlos and James on the couch with the dinner on fire. Both stopped doing what they were doing when they heard the door open.

"What did you two do?" Logan asked as he ran over to the kitchen, which had caught on fire, and began poor water all over the burning counter tops. Kendall rushed to help, but not before sending a glare over to the two boys who had made the mess. James and Carlos immediately put on their clothes before helping the married couple out.

An hour and a half later all four boys stood back and looked at the damage the fire caused to the kitchen and carpets. James and Carlos stared in awe towards the blackened cabinets and counter tops before turning towards each other. Both had the same thoughts. 'We are so dead.' They both winced when they heard Kendall's yell.

"James, Carlos I am about this close to throwing you out and making you walk back to the castle tonight. If you guys mess up one more time I swear I will send you back without a second thought. Now tomorrow, instead of going swimming like we had planned, we get to fix the kitchen."

Carlos and James whined, "But Kendall…"

"No buts. It is because of you two that we have to fix the kitchen. Now go find something that we can eat and do it fast I don't want Logan waiting all night to eat."

James and Carlos both went out the door with a "Yes Kendall."

Kendall turned to his very pregnant husband, "Are you feeling okay? Is the smoke making you sick? Because I can figure out something to get rid…"

Logan held his hands up to stop Kendall from talking. "I am fine. I am just hungry, although I was going to ask you if I could sit out on tomorrows project. I don't know how to fix stuff and I don't know if it is good for the baby."

Kendall smiled, "I won't make you help. I just want you to sit back and relax and read a book okay?"

"Okay." Just then Carlos and James walked through the door with two big watermelons.

Logan's eyes lit up. "FOOD!"
