Logan's POV
"Hey dad?" I groaned, as my dream was cut short. I opened my eyes as I heard Emery's voice. "Dad? Dad... DAD!"
"What Emery... What?" I asked looking up as my door opened.
"Oh you were asleep... I'm sorry. I'll go find Kendall..."
"No. I'm up..." I sighed and sat up slowly. "Ugh..." I placed a hand on my lower back to support myself.
"Here let me help." She grabbed my free hand and pulled gently. "Dad your belly is getting bigger and bigger by the day.
"Yeah. Heh." I chuckled and rubbed it. It wasn't a major bump but it was noticeable.
"Hey Logie..." Kendall walked in the open door. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine..." I smiled and walked over to my husband.
"Okay Logie." He glanced over at Emery. "Hey, we need to get ready. It's already 9. We have to be at the shelter by noon." Kendall said grabbing my suit.
"Oh thanks." I smiled as I took it from him.
"Well I should go get ready." Emery smiled and left.
"Want some help?" Kendall asked.
"Sure." I smiled and pulled on my dress pants. "Well at least they still button." I chuckled and stared down at my stomach.
"Heh... I can't believe it's only been a few months or more and you are already showing..." Kendall crouched down and layed his head on my kinda swollen tummy. "Hi baby... It's your daddy... I love you..." He finished with a kiss. "Here." He handed me my white tanktop and my button down shirt.
"Thanks." I pulled them on and grabbed my socks and shoes. "I'm glad I can still bend enough to put these on."
"I would've done it." He smiled and tied my left shoe.
"Thank you." I smiled as he stood. "I had a dream last night..." I stated as I pulled on my jacket.
"I think everyone does..." Kendall smirked.
"No it was the day of our wedding..." I smiled as he looked up from my shoe.
"Our wedding?"
"Yeah it was just the memory…" I sighed. "When I wasn't fat…" I pouted.
"You're not fat. It's the baby…" He kissed my head and pulled on his own suit jacket. "Come on." He grabbed my hand.
Emery's POV
I ran down the stairs and pulled on my shoes. My soft pick dress came to right below my knees and my black heels matched the tiny black flowers on the dress.
"Guys! Come on! We're gonna be late!" Kendall ran next to me and screamed up the stairs. "CARLOS! JAMES! LET"S GO!"
"Okay, okay. Geeze!" Uncle James and Uncle Carlos ran down the stairs in their own suits.
"Let's go." Dad said heading out to the cars. "Wanna drive?" He tossed me the keys.
"Sure." I smiled and slid into the driver seat. Kendall sat in the back and dad took his spot next to me. I waved to my uncles in the car in front of ours.
"Follow us." Uncle James yelled out the window.
"Kay." I started it and pulled out after my uncles.
"You're getting good." Kendall commented.
"Thanks." I smiled and kept my eyes on Uncle James' car. Dad hit the button and a CD started to play.
Oh oh ohh oh!
Dad turned in his seat to face Kendall. And Kendall's smile got huge.
Oh oh ohh oh!
Oh oh ohh oh!
And they started to sing along.
Make it count, play it straight
Don't look back, don't hesitate
When you go big time!
And Dad turned up the volume and we were close enough to Uncle James' car that he heard. Soon they, to, were singing along.
What you want, what you feel
Never quit, and make it real
When you roll big time
Hey, hey, listen to your heart now
Hey, hey, don't you feel the rush?
Hey, hey, better take your shot now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
As I drove and listened to my family sing along to their number one hit single. I chuckled at how silly they looked. We drove past people who were staring and a few kids were singing along. Probably old fans.
Go on shake it up, what you gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time
Step it up, getting gear
Go for broke, make it clear
Gotta go big time
Even after 9 years they could still sing so well. Like they never stopped.
Make it work, get it right
Change the world over night
Gotta dream big time
Hey, hey, give it all you got now
Hey, hey, isn't it a rush?
Hey, hey, finish what you start now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Go on shake it up, what you gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time
They just all took turns singing their old parts. Going from car to car. I never realized how well Kendall could sing. And Uncle James just had the most beautiful voice.
Look around
Everyone is shining now, it's brighter somehow
Look around
Nothing's really as it seems, nothing but dreams
You and I
Gonna make a brand new sound, like we own this town
We can fly
Now our feet are off the ground and never look down
Welcome to the big time
All the pretty people seen walkin' in the sunshine
Welcome to the good times
Life will never be the same
The song continued as we pulled into the parking lot of the shelter. The four just kept singing, their voices harmonizing together.
Go on shake it up, what you gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time
Oh oh ohh oh
Oh oh ohh oh
If you want it all, lay it on the line
It's the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time!
"Not that song!" An overweight man in a tux ran over to the cars.
"GUSTAVO!" The four yelled and ran over and enveloped him in a huge hug.
"Dogs!" He paused, "Boys… down." He stated and the four let go. He straightened his dark blue tie and adjusted his tux coat.
"Heya, Mr. Rocque." I got out of the car and walked over to the large man, smiled.
"Hello Emery. Look at how you've grown." He smiled back.
"Where's Kelly?" Uncle Carlos asked.
"Not here you dork." Dad chuckled.
"Oh she ditched?" His face went sad. "I'm so sorry Gustavo." He placed a hand on the older mans shoulder.
Gustavo just slapped his forehead and shook his head.
"No Carlos… She hasn't arrived yet. Gustavo can't see her yet." Dad explained.
"Ohh…" Carlos sighed.
"Logan… You look different." Gustavo said.
"Uhm…" Dad mumbled. "Well."
I chuckled and saw a big white van approach. I managed to escape my family and I hurried over to the van.
"Kelly…" I whispered at the woman.
"Oh Emery!" She hurried over in her heels and gave me a big hug. "How are you?"
"Good." I said as I looked over her beautiful dress. It was white but had dark blue lace on the torso and sleeves were made with the same dark blue lace. "Kelly. Your dress is beautiful."
"Kelly! There's a problem…" A woman in a dark blue bride's maid dress ran over.
"What is it?" She asked slightly frantic.
"Your sister hasn't shown up." The woman said.
"She has to! She's my maid of honor!" Kelly yelled. Then she glanced over at me. "Give me Sofie's dress!" She instructed, and grabbed my arm. Grabbing the dress from the other woman she shoved it in my hands. "Put this on. It's your size." She said and pushed me in the large van. I quickly did as told and changed to the plain dark blue dress. As I emerged I saw dad and Kendall talking to Kelly. They turned and gasped as I stood and smoothed the dress.
"What, it looks bad?" I asked and glanced down at my black shoes.
"No… Emery… you look beautiful." Dad covered his mouth.
"Thanks…" I blushed.
"Here are your flowers." The other woman said and handed me a bouquet of dark blue and white flowers.
"Thank you." I smiled to the woman. She handed Kelly her flowers and we heard the music start.
"See you after hunni." Dad kissed my head and left with Kendall to sit down.
The other woman, who was Kelly's sister, Michelle, lined up at the end on the isle. Gustavo's niece and cousin walked down the isle, the little girl scattering petals of the dark blue flowers. Gustavo's younger brother, Jacob linked his arm with mine as Michelle and Gustavo's older brother, Levi, walked down towards Gustavo.
"Ready?" He whispered.
"Mmhm." I nodded as we started walking down the isle. I smiled at dad, who decided that he needed pictures. Kendall gave me a thumbs up. As I took my spot next to Michelle, a woman in the front row gave me a rude look. I ignored it and heard the music change to the wedding march. I watched as Kelly walked down the isle with her father. Glancing over at Gustavo, he looked like he was gonna break down into tears. As her father gave her away, the woman in the front row stood up and gave her a kiss also. I figured it out that it was her mother, and I turned my attention over to my dad, Kendall and my uncles. Dad had tears in his eyes, and Kendall smiled over at me. As the priest talked I saw Uncle Carlos stand with his phone to his ear and walk off, away from the wedding. I saw him in the distance. He looked upset from the way he was walking around and throwing his hands in the air. He closed his phone and quickly returned to his seat. He turned to James and I saw tear streaks on his face. James hugged him.
"You may now kiss the bride." The priest said and I looked over at Kelly and Gustavo as they shared a kiss as man and wife. I clapped and linked arms with Jacob and followed after Michelle and Levi.
"Oh hunni!" Dad ran over after I placed my flowers with the others. "You looked so pretty."
"Thanks." I smiled and I saw Kelly talking to her mom. "Hey dad…" I glanced around. "Where's Uncle James? And Uncle Carlos?"
"Something happened, and Carlos needed to go home." Kendall said, wrapping an arm around dad's waist. I looked back over to Kelly and her mother was giving me a dirty look once again. As she walked away I approached Kelly.
"Hey Kelly. Did I do something to you're mother? She keeps giving me dirty looks." I asked the new bride.
"Not that I know of." She shrugged and then turned her head as we heard yelling.
Kendall's POV
"You need to leave. You two and that girl who filled in at the reception." A older woman came up to Logan and I as we talked about how cute Em looked.
"Excuse me?" I said and she looked angry.
"We don't want your kind at this wedding." She spat.
"Mother!" Kelly ran over with Emery.
"Dad what's going on?" I asked.
"This woman wants us to leave." Dad said angrily. "Because we are gay."
"Kelly, I'm not sure who invited these people, but I'm sure gonna get them out." She said.
"Mother! I invited them here!" Kelly stood upset.
"What's going on here?" Gustavo walked up.
"Well," I started, "Your charming mother-in-law is trying to make us leave. Because we are gay."
"Why? You have no reason to kick them out. These boys are like our family!" He bellowed. "And you may be the mother of my wife but I am the man here. And I will decide who will get kicked out."
"Well I never…" She stood shocked.
I smiled at Gustavo as my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"It's Carlos. I need to three home now." He sounded like he had been crying.
"Okay… okay we'll leave now." I said and shut my phone. "Well Gustavo, It was great to see you again, We really have to meet up again. But Carlos called and said he needs us home."
"I hope everything is okay." Kelly said.
"Bye Kelly." Emery smiled and handed her the dress back.
"No keep it."
"Thank you." Em smiled and hugged Kelly. "Bye Gustavo." She hugged him.
Emery walked to the car and I saw Kelly's mom walking to hers, which was just down a ways from ours. I grabbed Logan's arm.
"Hey! Mrs. Wainwright!" I yelled after her. She turned to face Logan and I, and I placed a big, huge, sloppy kiss on his lips. She gasped. "HAVE A GOOD DAY!" I yelled once I broke the kiss. We laughed and ran to the car. I glanced out the window and saw Kelly and Gustavo laughing at her mother, still standing there in complete and utter shock.
Logan's POV
As we walked through the door, I heard frantic talking in Spanish. "Carlos?" I walked in the living room to see the Latino sobbing and talking on his cell phone. He held up a finger and then said something before hanging up. I slid off my jacket and sat on the couch.
"Logan!" He collapsed in my lap and sobbed. I waved a hand at Kendall and Emery, who were watching from the doorway, to go upstairs and let us have some time.
"What's wrong?" I asked once they had gone.
"Logan, it's horrible! My papi called me and told me that my sister, Angelina, and her husband passed away last night in a car crash…" He paused as more tears flowed down his cheeks.
"Oh Carlos." I hugged him, and placed a hand on his head as tears wetted my shirt.
"But I guess they had a baby, he is 3 weeks I think, and he miraculously survived. But I'm written down as his god father." He stated.
"Wait, Like you are next in line for custody?" I asked, trying to comprehend it all.
"Exactly." He paused as James ran down with two suitcases. "And now I have go all the way to Minnesota to get him." Carlos stood and wiped his eyes.
"How long will you be gone?" I stood with him.
"Well the adoption process will take a week. So I guess two weeks." He said counting his fingers.
"Wait, James… Are you gonna adopt this baby along with Carlos?" I asked.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"We plan to get him a new birth certificate. With a new name and our names on it. Instead of my sisters. It was my papi's idea." Carlos said.
"Okay. Sounds like a plan." I smiled. "Kendall, Emery, and I will repaint and get new furniture, for that guest room next to your room and convert it to a nursery." I smiled. "Be safe." I hugged them both and waved as they left.
