P.O.V.: Kendall
"Guess what, guys!" Kelly said. Gustavo had a box full of things square and reflective. He grabbed something from the box.
"Your second album is here!" Gustavo said. We cheered and high-fived.
"This is so cool!" James said.
"I know! This is AWESOME!" Carlos said.
"This isn't in stores yet, but it will be next week! The release date has been announced for a couple of months already," Gustavo said.
"This is so cool!" Krystye said.
"Kendall, why do you look like you haven't slept?" Kelly asked.
"Krystye was up all night with her mood swings. I got slapped seventeen times last night," I said tiredly.
Flashback, last night, 1 AM
"Kendall, I need water!" Krystye whined.
"Can't you get it?" I asked.
"KENDALL!" Krystye shouted. Scared, I jumped out of bed and ran to get her water. I knew what my wife could do to me if she wanted. I returned with her water, and she gulped it down.
"Thanks honey," Krystye said. She went back to sleep, but the adrenaline from her scaring me had me where I couldn't sleep worth a damn.
End Flashback
"Wow that sucks. A lot," Kelly said.
"Yep, and now the makeup department's gonna have my ass," I said.
"No, they won't, because your ass is mine," Krystye said. I laughed a little, a little scared at her mood swings.
"Wow, way to be blunt," James said. Krystye sniffled a little, and I guessed that she was crying.
"James, quit being an asshole. You made my wife cry," I said.
"What? UGH!" James said.
Time skip: later that day, around 3 PM
We were in 2L, playing video games. There was a knock on the door. Logan got up to answer it.
"Hi, Logan. I'm here for James. I tried 2J, but Katie told me you were over here," a female voice said from the door.
"Mom?" James asked.
"That's my name, don't wear it out," Mama Diamond said. She walked in.
"James, come give your mother a kiss," she said. James stood up and did as he was told.
"Brooke, what are you doing here?" Mom asked.
"I'm here to take James back to Minnesota to run the family cosmetics business," Mama Diamond said.
"What?" we all chorused.
"Mom, wouldn't you rather just enjoy some time with your son?" James asked, holding his arms out for a hug, to which Mama Diamond obliged.
"I'm going back to my hotel room to get a nap in. The jet lag is getting to me," she said, then left.
"I don't wanna go back to Minnesota!" James said after the door closed.
"Let's go to Rocque Records and talk to Gustavo," I said. We did exactly that.
"Just tell her no," Gustavo said. We all gasped audibly.
"You don't tell my mom no," James said.
"Remember that time us guys wanted to go snowboarding?" I asked.
Flashback
"Oh, you're not going snowboarding. Here's some crochet needles. Take up crochet."
"You're not going to prom with that harlot." Oddly enough, James was standing with Krystye.
"I don't like the names Hortense and Krystyna. Call them Logan and Krystye from now on."
End Flashback
"Well, there has to have been a time when she didn't get her way," Kelly said.
"There was one time, but Dad and I aren't supposed to talk about it," James said.
"Just tell them!" Krystye said.
"I said I'd take it to the grave!" James squeaked.
"JUST TELL US!" Kelly shouted.
"O-Okay. It was the boys' peewee hockey party when Logan, Krystye, and Kendall were eight and Carlos and I were seven. Mom ordered sushi platters and reserved a string quartet, but Mama Mitchell, Mama Knight, and Mama Garcia wanted beans, weenies, and a bounce house. It took all three of them to get her to cave," James said.
"So we fight mom with moms!" Kelly said.
"Kelly, gather my frequent flyer miles and get the other moms here," Gustavo said, and Kelly did just that. The next day, Mama Mitchell and Mama Garcia walked into Rocque Records.
"Hi, Mom," Logan and Krystye said.
"Hi, Mami!" Carlos said, hugging his mother.
"Can I get a kiss from my twin kids and a hug from my new son-in-law?" Mama Mitchell asked. I hugged her.
"Mama Mitchell, I-" I started before my mother-in-law cut me off.
"Please, you're family now! Call me Joanna!" Mama Mitchell said.
"Joanna, I think you should know that Krystye's pregnant," I said.
"Really? That's so great! I'm gonna be a grandmother!" Joanna said, hugging her daughter, then me.
"Logan, can I get a kiss?" Joanna asked.
"Kiss your mother, Hortense!" Kelly said, pushing the oldest boy to his mother. He complied, and Joanna pulled him into a hug.
"Mom, I think you should know that I'm engaged to be married," Logan said.
"That's great! Who's the lucky girl?" Joanna asked.
"Camille Roberts," Logan said, blushing.
"Aww! I'll try to be at the wedding if our financial issues let up," Joanna said.
"Now, let's get Kendall's mom and confront James' mom," Mama Garcia said.
We went to get my mom from 2L, and we got Mama Diamond to 2J.
"Joanna, Sylvia, what are you doing here?" Mama Diamond asked when she saw the three mothers.
"We're here to convince you to leave James here where he's happy," Mom said.
"Look, I know you miss your son, so I set up every computer in this apartment with face chat, and when we get back to Minnesota, I can set it up on your computer at home," Mama Garcia said.
"And I can get you a west coast office for Brooke Diamond Cosmetics, giving you an excuse to see James at least once a month," Joanna said.
"And I can talk Gustavo into booking more tour dates in Minnesota," Mom said.
"I will not bend to the will of one mom!" Gustavo said. Mom gave him a look.
"Kelly, book more tour dates in Minnesota," Gustavo said.
"So, you don't want to work for the family business?" Mama Diamond asked.
"No," James said. Ms. Diamond smiled.
"My son is happy; I can talk to him whenever I want… This is the best mother's day gift ever!" she said.
"But it's January," James said.
"I don't care!" Mama Diamond said, hugging her son.
"And congratulations Krystye and Kendall on your marriage," she said.
"I'm pregnant, Mama Diamond," Krystye said.
"Congratulations! You know, when James told me about you in third grade, I would have thought you two would get married, but you seem a lot happier with Kendall," Mama Diamond said.
"How long will you guys be here?" Logan asked.
"A week. Carlos' mom offered to pay for my room," Joanna said.
"Awesome!" Carlos said.
"I do miss you, Carlitos," Mama Garcia said.
"I miss you too, Mami," Carlos said.
"Where are my twins?" Joanna asked, and Logan and Krystye hugged their mother at the same time.
"You guys were a hassle when you were babies. Thank god you two are fraternal twins, or I never would have been able to tell you apart," Joanna said. Krystye and Logan laughed.
"You know, I'm hoping for twins," Krystye said.
"You really want to put your husband through that?" Joanna said.
"I'll happily do it," I said.
"I remember when your Aunt Julie and I were kids. Nobody could tell us apart if their lives depended on it. Our teachers made us wear nametags," Joanna said. We laughed.
"I love Aunt Julie," Krystye said.
"She's always giving us stuff. That's where I got my book on puberty," Logan said.
"I wish you hadn't made me look at that one," Krystye said.
"I had to let you know! You were showing the signs!" Logan said.
"So were you, but I didn't show you any pictures of female genitalia!" Krystye said.
"Yes, you did!"
"Oh, that's right…"
"Guys, enough!" Joanna said.
"Guys, we've got to get to our hotel rooms. It's getting late. Sleep well," Carlos' mom said before the three moms left.
"So, before we leave, I want to know what you did with our room," I said.
"James now rooms by himself, and Katie got your room," Mom said.
"Sounds good," Krystye said.
"Well, guys, we've got to get to bed if I don't want the makeup department taking the bags under my eyes out of my ass," I said.
"You don't know how wrong that sounded," Krystye said.
"Whatever! You know what I mean," I said. Krystye and I went back to our apartment. Krystye went straight to bed, and I got some water for both of us before going to bed myself.
"I love you, Krystyna," I said.
"I love you too, Kendall."
Time skip: the next morning
P.O.V. change: James
I went down to the lobby that morning and sat on a couch. Jo came up to me.
"So, James, what do you say?" Jo asked.
"Yes, I'll go out with you," I said.
"YAY! I knew you'd be mine one day!" Jo said.
"But lay off the touchy-feely stuff until the third date," I said.
"Okay, I can handle that," Jo said, smiling a genuine smile. I think I just made the crazy go away.
"You're not crazy! It's a miracle!"
Chapter Question: Do you think that Jo's crazy is gone forever?
