A/N: Hi Readers! I'm really trying to seriously hash out as many chapters as I possibly can before I reach a writer's block, which happens a lot and then deters me from continuing writing. All of your support has kept me motivated to continue, so thank you! Words can only express how much gratitude I feel for you guys.

"Hey, Katie," said James as he turned off the radio.

"Yeah?"

The car ride to Rocque Records had so far been silent; the two were content to listening to the radio, as they cruised through the city.

He looked over at her, in the passenger seat, when they reached a red light. "I'm sorry."

Katie gave him a surprised look from behind her sunglasses. "For what?"

James continued, "I wasn't actually there for you, at all, these past couple of years. I was completely wasted at your twenty-first birthday, I missed your graduation, I only stopped by for like, five minutes, at your company launch party." James looked away, ashamed, as he continued to drive. "I didn't even invite you to the Blank Paper premiere."

"James, I−"

"Shut up for a sec, 'kay? I really need to say this." Katie closed her mouth. "You are the closest thing I have to family out here, and I've been a complete douche-bag to you. And the second that I need your help, you coming running to my rescue. But I promise," he took his hand off the shift gear, to hold up two fingers. "I will make it up to you. Scout's honour."

Katie giggled and grabbed his hand, "James, you weren't ever a boy scout." She softened her smile, touched by his sincerity. Even if they did grow far apart, and James had adapted a typical L.A. lifestyle, it seemed that he was still the boy that she grew up with, at heart. "Thank you." She paused and couldn't help but add, "But you really need to stop listening to Kendall's rants," knowing that her brother unloaded his thoughts about James not looking out for her, on him last night.

James smiled at the windshield and manoeuvred his hand over hers, on top of the gearshift, so that he was still able to drive, but hold her hand at the same time.

James and Katie walked into a bizarre scene when they reached the recording studio. Carlos and Kendall were on the ground, forming a pen with their legs, as a toddler walked back and forth, between the two. Logan was sitting on the couch, cooing at a newborn baby, while Gustavo was wrestling a record out of a little boy's hands. If the two hadn't known who the children were, they would have worried greatly about the guys.

Kendall looked up as two reached the end of the main hallway. "Oh, hey guys."

Katie grinned and walked toward to Logan to take the baby from him. Meanwhile, Gustavo managed to take the record, as the little boy was distracted with James' entrance.

"James!" He greeted, and ran to him.

"Hey, buddy." James said, as he scooped up the little boy. "How's my mini Max?"

"Good. Mommy is mad at daddy. He fired Susie." Max said, referring to his nanny.

"Again?" James looked up Gustavo. This was the third nanny that he had fired in two months.

"She was brainwashing my kids. They were listening music produced by Hawk." Gustavo explained like it was the most natural course of action. "I am not going to allow my kids listen to that garbage." The former bandmates all nodded in understanding.

James set Max down. "Where's Kelly?"

Gustavo blanched and whispered, "She's um, currently, indisposed."

"No. She's right here and still angry at what you did." Kelly said as she came out from Gustavo's office.

The toddler between Kendall and Carlos reacted to her entrance, "Ma-ma." Kelly smiled at her second son, Kyle, before resuming her glare at her husband. Kelly and Gustavo had married right after Max's birth and before Big Time Rush had disbanded. While Kendall, James and especially Carlos had been shocked to find out about their relationship, Logan and Katie had known the two had a stronger connection than merely co-workers.

"Hi, honey," Gustavo said nervously. "Did you find anyone?" Carlos snickered at the large man's attempt to warm up to his wife. Gustavo shot him a look, "Quiet, dog."

"Yes, and don't you dare fire her without my permission or else you'll be doing all the housework, watching the kids and sleeping on the couch for the next lifetime. So I'd watch your step, if I were you." Kelly threatened.

Just then, the baby in Katie's arms gave a wail. Kelly stepped forward to take her baby, "Come here, Stella." Even after giving birth to three children, the African American managed to maintain her athletic figure.

"Hey, Kelly," James called out as Kelly rocked her daughter. "Katie, here, is now my manager and she would like to know more about my music."

"You hired the monkey-dog's little sister to manage you?" Gustavo said in disgust as he pointed to Kendall. Max giggled at the name. Kendall pulled the little boy toward him and gave him a playful noogie.

"Well, since you never seem to pay me, when I come here to inspire you," Katie said as she stood up. "I had to find another way to make my earning." Even after twelve years, Katie remained Gustavo's muse, whenever he reached writer's block. It was something that no one in that room could explain.

Kelly laughed, "Sure, Katie. Why don't I email you everything and we'll schedule a date when we can sit down and go over everything."

"Sounds perfect."

James's phone buzzed from inside his pocket. "Oh, that might be Britney." He said as he fished around in his back pocket.

"Hot date?" Logan asked.

"So hot!" James shouted as he stepped into the recording room to answer his call.

"Hey Carlos, here's the script I wanted you to read."

"Thanks, Katie."

"Why are you giving Carlos a script?" Kendall asked, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Are you his manager, too?"

"No," remarked Katie at the same time that Carlos said, 'yes.'

"What?" Katie screamed, "Carlos, you don't even know if you want to be an actor."

"Yeah, but James is your client, and I want to be, too." Carlos pouted.

Katie smacked herself in the forehead. Kendall and Logan laughed, used to their friend's need for everything to be fair. James came back into the room, whistling happily.

"Everything's good?" Kendall asked, even though he knew the answer.

"I am taking Britney to a fancy restaurant for dinner, then dancing at that new nightclub and then I'm taking her back to my place for−"

"Okay, screamed Kelly. "That's enough. My kids are still in the room." James shot her a sheepish look.

"Please leave, now." Gustavo said to the guys. "I don't want my kids to catch any of your 'stupid.'"

Logan was affronted by the insult, "Hey, I'm going to be a doctor."

Katie giggled before leaning in and placing a kiss on Stella's forehead. "No prob, Gustav. We're leaving."

James reached down to grab Kyle, and placed him in Gustavo's arms while Carlos and Kendall got to their feet.

"Great seeing you guys." Kendall added before making his way to leave. Carlos gave a hug to Kelly and the kids and attempted to give one to Gustavo.

Logan was still irritated by the Gustavo's comment, "I'm not stupid." Katie sighed and grabbed his arm. "Come on, Dr. Mitchell, time to go."

"Diamond, rehearsal-tomorrow." Gustavo shouted.

"No can-do. I've got a modelling job to go to. You'll have to talk to my manager about any scheduling conflicts." James said in a hurry, before running down the hallway to leave.

Katie widened her eyes at the slow telltale signs of Gustavo's ire. She mouthed a 'sorry' to Kelly and Gustavo, and pulled Logan with her to leave.

"Uh-oh. Daddy's angry." Katie heard Max say behind her, before he giggled.

Katie and Logan found the others standing outside Rocque Records, where the five had once striked against Gustavo's tyranny.

"So what's the plan, baby sister?" Kendall asked.

"We, big brother, can finally hang out together." Katie replied. "Alone," she added, when she saw Carlos and Logan about to speak. "Carlos, why don't you sit down and read the script and Logan, you can go visit Dr. Hollywood." The two men nodded happily at her suggestions.

"What about me?" James asked.

"Seriously, James?"

"Hey, you're my manager now. So come on, manage me." James remarked.

Katie rolled her eyes. "Fine, why don't you go home and prep yourself for your date?"

"It's not going to take me seven hours to get ready." James replied.

"Then practice your 'model face,' for tomorrow." Katie yelled in frustration.

"Oh, good idea." James smiled, brightly.

Kendall looked at Katie in confusion. "I'll explain everything later. You two," Katie said, turning her attention back to Carlos and Logan, "Finish everything by six-thirty. I'm making dinner tonight."

James shuffled his feet, feeling left out, before snapping his finger in an apparent epiphany. "Why don't you guys come out tonight, to the nightclub, with me and Britney?"

Logan looked at him. "It's a Tuesday night, are clubs even open?"

James wrapped his arm Logan and looked at him, pityingly. "You, my friend, have been gone way too long. This is Hollywood. Every night is a weekend night."

A/N: What did you guys think? Gustavo and Kelly, married? Kids? o.0 J/K I actually think their relationship is hilarious in the show. I tried to keep them in character as much as possible, but, with Kelly as his wife and mother to his kids, I think Gustavo has to bow down to her somewhat. ;)

And, I know that on the show, there is already a Kyle in existence, but there are also 5 Jennifer's.
