This is gonna mostly be a Carlos and James based chapter, just because I can! :D
Carlos' POV
As I sat in my seat, I looked out the window at the clouds and sighed. 'What if I'm not fit to be a dad?'
"You'll make a great dad." James said leaning on my shoulder. I stared in shock at him.
"I swear you read my mind." I smiled.
"Nah you're just predictable." He smiled. "Now sleep, the flight will be over soon." He snuggled up next to me and I sighed at his cuteness.
"But James, what will we name him?" I asked.
"Hmm." He sat up, fully alert now. "How about I decide on the first name, and you the middle?"
"Okay." I smiled. As I sat quietly, thinking of the perfect middle name.
"Shane." James turned to me.
"For his name?" I asked.
"Mmm-hmm." He nodded. "Did you think of a middle name?"
"Manuel." I said, the name finally popping into my mind. "It was my granddad's name."
"Shane Manuel Garcia. It sure has a nice ring to it." James slid his arm around my shoulders.
"We'll be landing in Minneapolis in about twenty minutes." The pilot said over an intercom.
"Twenty minutes till we land, then a half hour drive to your fathers house." James smiled and rubbed my shoulder. I laced my fingers with his. "Then we will be holding our new son."
"I know. I can't wait." I smiled and ran my thumb over his wedding band. I layed my head on his shoulder, and dozed off.
"Carlos... hunni." James shook me awake. "We're landed."
"Oh." I stood and grabbed my carry-on.
We got our bags and flagged down a taxi, to take us to our son. We drove through the familiar town and I grinned as we turned on the street I had lived on my entire life. We got out and I paid the man.
"Thanks." I smiled and approached the door to my old house. "Papi! Mami! Soy yo Carlos! Yo estoy aquí!" I hollered out as it opened.
"Oh! Carlos! Mijo!" My mother ran to me. "Come in, come in." She smiled.
"Hi Mami!" I sat my bag down and embraced her.
"Hi Mijo, James." She let go of me and hugged James tightly.
"Hi, ma." James hugged her back.
"Where is he?" I asked.
"In here Mijo." She led us to the living room. As I walked over to the small bassinet in the corner, my heartbeat became erratic.
"James..." I whispered as I looked at the boy. He had thin, pitch-black hair that stuck up and deep brown eyes.
"Oh Carlos." He walked over and placed a hand over his heart. I looked at the tiny baby. He looked so similar to how I did. I scooped him up and he smiled at me.
"Hi there..." I sniffed, "Hi Shane." I lightly hugged the baby.
"Shane?" My mother said the name out loud.
"Shane Manuel." James nodded.
"After Abuelo Manny..." My mother gasped.
"Yes." I nodded to her and looked back to the baby boy. "Welcome to the family, Shane Manuel Garcia." I kissed the baby's head. I smiled to James, who hand wrapped an arm around the both of us.
"Daddy loves you." James whispered to Shane.
"Papi loves you to." I smiled.
James' POV
I jerked awake at the slightest sound of Shane crying. We had moved him to the guestroom with us.
"Hey... Hey now." I slid out of bed, trying to not wake Carlos, and tip toed over to the fussy baby. "Come on Shane. Let's get you a bottle." I picked him up and carried him to the kitchen. I fixed the baby a bottle and rocked him slightly as he ate. "There you go, Shanester." I smiled down at him. His big brown eyes stared up at me in wonder.
"James?" I heard a whisper. Looking over I saw my sleepy husband leaning in the doorway, rubbing his eyes.
"Hey." I motioned him to come over. "He was hungry." I smiled.
"Oh." Carlos yawned.
"Hey, it's like 3 in the morning. You can go back to bed if you want." I said putting down the empty bottle and moving Shane to my shoulder.
"Nah." Carlos yawned. "I wanna see how well Daddy James does."
"Very well." I snickered and patted the baby's back till he burped. "All better." I cooed at him. "Come on Shane, you to Carlos." I grabbed Carlos' hand and dragged his sleepy butt back to bed.
"Can I hold him?" Carlos asked me, once we were back in the bedroom.
"Well yeah, he isn't just my son." I laughed and handed him the baby.
"Hola mijo, soy tu padre" He whispered to the baby. "Me comprometo a mantener a salvo."
"What did you say?" I asked, leaning my chin on his shoulder.
"I told him I would always keep him safe." Carlos smiled and turned his head to face me. "I love you James. You make me so happy."
"Shane and I, will always make you happy. We'll always be here." I kissed him once he placed our sleeping son in his bed.
"I love you..." He whispered and layed his head on my chest.
"Love you to." I smiled and fell asleep.
Carlos' POV
"Congratulations." The judge said, as he looked over the papers James and I had just signed. "Shane Manuel Garcia, is now officially your son." He said handing James the legalized papers.
"Carlos! He's ours!" James smiled big at me. I handed Shane to my father and jumped into James' arms.
"I can't believe it!" I hugged him.
"Come here Shanester!" James took him from my father and kissed the baby. I hugged my new family tightly.
"Come on, let's go home." I smiled and grabbed the legalized papers, and we headed out to the car.
"Hey Logan!" I called my friend from my cell.
"How'd it go?" He asked.
"Amazing! James and I just signed some papers, and made him a new birth certificate, and now he's ours." I smiled.
"What's his name?"
"Shane… Shane Manuel."
"Aw! Cute!" Logan giggled. "Hey Emery wants to talk to you."
"Okay…" I waited for the young girl to pick up the phone.
"Hey Uncle Carlos!" Her voice rang out.
"Hey there, what's up?"
"Can I talk to you?" She asked.
"Well is it really important? I mean I'll be home like tonight. Can it wait till then?" I asked, as I heard Shane start to cry.
"Y… yeah I'll talk to you then. Bye." She sighed and hung up.
I walked into the bedroom as James was packing and slumped on the bed.
"What's wrong?" He asked, sitting next to me.
"Something's up with Em. But I'm not sure what."
"You talked to her?"
"Yeah, well kinda. She asked if we could talk, and I asked if we could talk once we got back, and she seemed upset." I sighed.
"Well ask her once we get home." James said and grabbed the two suitcases and Shane's diaper bag. "Ready?"
"Yep." I grabbed Shane. I kissed my parents good bye. "We'll come visit." I smiled.
"Promise mijo?" My mom asked.
"Si mama." I nodded.
"Uhm…" James stood and smiled to my mother before taking a deep breath. "Adiós Mamá, Te quiero." I smiled at the nervousness in his voice. He must have been practicing.
"Oh James… mijo… good job!" She hugged him.
"Thanks… I tried." He chuckled. We left and Papi drove us to the airport.
"Bye Papi!" I hugged him.
"Bye my son. Bye James." He hugged James lightly, so he wouldn't squish Shane.
"Come on." I tugged James' shirt.
"Bye!" Papi waved goodbye as we boarded our plane.
The entire way home James and Shane slept. I never knew how an over night plane ride could be so quiet. I sat there and looked down at the dim lights from buildings below and thought to myself. 'I wish I knew what was wrong with Em. She seemed so worried.' I glanced over at my husband and new son. James wrapped an arm around Shane's carrier. I grabbed his hand and tangled my fingers with his. He stirred and cocked his head to one side. As if to ask, why aren't you asleep.
"I will." I whispered and he layed his head back down and dozed off again.
James' POV
"LOGAN!" I yelled and waved an arm above my head. He looked over to me and came over running.
"Hey!" He hugged me, then Carlos. I chuckled as I saw his belly. He had gotten quite a bit bigger in the past two weeks. "Is this?" He looked over at the baby.
"This is Shane." Carlos held the carrier up so Logan could see him better.
"Aw!" Logan cooed. "Can I hold him?"
"Sure." I smiled and took Shane out of his carrier. "Here."
"Oh." Logan gasped as I handed him to my best friend. "He's so cute…" Logan smiled sweetly to the infant. "Hi there, Shane, I'm your Uncle Logan." Shane made a cooing noise and smiled up to Logan. "He smiled at me…" Logan looked up at me. "He smiled." He said more excitedly.
"Heh." Carlos laughed. We grabbed our things and headed back to the house.
"We're home!" Logan hollered out as he opened the door.
"UNCLE CARLOS!" Emery screamed running to Carlos.
"Hey hunni." He hugged her.
"I missed you." She snuggled into his chest.
"Oh… So you didn't miss me?" I asked, acting hurt.
"Oh Uncle James! I missed you to!" She started to hug me then saw Shane. "AW!" She crouched down to the baby. "He is soooo cute!"
"This is your cousin, Shane Manuel." Carlos told her.
"Aw. Hi Shaney! I'm Emery, when you get old enough to talk, you can call me Emmie." She smiled.
Emery's POV
We all shifted to the living room to talk about the past two weeks. I was cooing over Shane and he was gurgling right back.
"Yeah and James, he, said…" Uncle Carlos paused as the door rang.
"Coming!" I hollered and walked over with Shane to get the door. "Hello?"
"Em!" I blinked a few times at the person standing in front of me.
His blondish-brown, whipping around in the wind and his blue eyes shone.
"Jace!" I screamed and hugged him as best I could with Shane in my arms.
"Hey Emmie-boo…" He hugged me again. "Whose?" He looked down at Shane.
"My cousin, Shane."
"Who is it?" Dad walked over.
"Hello Mr. Mitchel." Jace smiled to my father.
"Oh hello Jace. Back so soon?"
"Yes sir." He nodded.
"Here I'll take Shane." Dad offered.
"Okay." I handed him, over to dad. "Come on." I grabbed my boyfriends' hand and pulled him to my room.
"I missed you Em." He took my face in his hands once I shut my door.
"I missed you to Jace." I connected my lips to his.
Kendall's POV
"Maybe I should check on them…" I said standing after about ten minutes.
"Kenny. They're fine. Trust Emery." Logan grabbed my sleeve.
"Fine." I sighed and sat back down.
"Heh…" James scoffed.
"What?" I looked over at him as he fed Shane.
"I wouldn't trust him. He's 18… she's 16. He's a guy…. You know what we were like then." James stated.
"Oh shit…" I said to myself and ran up the stairs, taking two at a time.
"Kendall!" Logan ran after me.
"EMERY!" I slammed her door open.
"KENDALL!" She screamed.
"Oh my…." Logan covered his mouth as we saw her and Jace, naked in her bed.
"Get… OUT! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I screamed and grabbed the boy by his hair. I grabbed his pants and shirt.
"Kendall! Dad! Stop it!" Emery yelled from the bed.
"GET THE FUCK OUT!" I shoved him down the stairs and threw him and his clothes out in the lawn.
"Told you…" James shook his head. I slammed the door closed and stood there fuming for a second.
"DAD!" Emery screamed as I heard a thump. I ran up the stairs to see Logan crumpled over in pain.
"Kendall… something's wrong." He looked up at me. I grabbed him and carried him to the car.
"Come Emery. You're coming with us." I yelled to her.
As I slid in the car along with Emery, Logan moaned in pain.
"AH! Kendall!" Logan screamed out. "Hurry." He cried out. "Please."
"I will Logan." I said and stepped on the gas.
