Chapter 11: Start All Over
Dak bit his lip as he walked up to Jett's apartment. He was going to talk to Jett about what he wanted out of whatever it was they had. He hoped Jett would be ok with it. He knocked on the door. The door opened to reveal Jett.
"Don't you have a key?" Jett asked.
"Yeah, but I uh," Dak said.
"Come in," Jett said stepping aside for Dak. Dak nodded and stepped into the apartment. "So you've done some thinking?" he asked.
"Yeah," Dak said.
"What did you decide? Are we together or am I just wasting my time?" Jett asked.
"I've decided that I want to take this one day at a time. I want to start over," Dak said, "from the beginning," he added.
"Start over?" Jett asked.
"Yeah, like a first date and everything," Dak said smiling when Jett smiled.
"I could totally do that," Jett said.
"Really?" Dak asked biting his lip nervously. He hadn't thought Jett would go for this.
"Yeah, if that's what it take to be with you then, Dak Zevon will you go out on a date with me this Friday night?" Jett asked.
"Yeah, I'm free," Dak said smiling.
"Great, then I'll pick you up a seven," Jett said.
"I'll be waiting," Dak said biting his lip shyly. He wasn't sure why he was shy all of a sudden. It was like they really were starting all over again. "I should go, but I'll see you on Friday?" he asked.
"Of course," Jett said.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Kendall was sitting in the café watching Camille and Carlos run about and get things ready. This was better than sitting at home being bored. He was meeting up with Logan so they could go to the hospital for Kendall's check up. He was now roughly three months pregnant and he had a slight baby bump but it was barely noticeable.
"Hey," Camille said sitting down next to Kendall.
"Hey Camille," Kendall said smiling at the brunette.
"I'm on break," Camille said, "so what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Waiting on Logan," Kendall said.
"Speaking of Logan, how are you two?" Camille asked.
"What do you mean?" Kendall asked blushing.
"Oh please, I know you like him," Camille said.
"I do not," Kendall said shaking his head. He looked away from Camille. "He's not even my type," he added.
"What, he's cute, kind, funny, and famous," Camille said.
"How do you know he's kind and funny? You've hardly said two words to him," Kendall said.
"I know, but from what I've heard form you and Carlos he seems that way and it's what I read about him," Camille said shrugging.
"You can't believe everything you read on the internet Camille," Kendall said shaking his head at the curly brunette, "James told me he has an inner diva that comes out once in awhile," he said.
"Inner diva?" Camille asked.
"I have no idea, James just said to be careful, when he gets around certain people he goes a little diva," Kendall said.
"Wow," Camille said.
"I know," Kendall said as the bell above the door rang. He looked up and saw Logan walking towards him. Kendall smiled and stood up.
"You ready to go," Logan asked. Kendall nodded his head and he and Logan left the café. They walked to Logan's car.
"So where is this appointment at?" Logan asked.
"I found this nice place where they have a great maternity/paternity system and really care for well me and the baby," Kendall said.
"Which hospital?" Logan asked.
"It's a private practice on thirty second street," Kendall said.
"Is it expensive?" Logan asked.
"I already talked the expenses over with Kelly. We want this baby healthy," Kendall said.
"I'm paying a lot for this aren't I?" Logan asked.
"Well do you want our baby to get some shitty care or get great care?" Kendall asked. Logan sighed.
"Great care," Logan said.
"I thought so," Kendall said smiling as he got into the passengers seat of Logan's car. Logan did as well. Kendall gave him the address and Logan put it into his GPS and they drove to the clinic.
Kendall got out of the car and looked at the building. Logan walked over to him and they walked inside. The walls were a warm yellow and seemed inviting. The walls were filled with pictures of kids of all ages from newborn to age ten some even a little older.
"They must have pediatricians here too," Logan said.
"Obviously," Kendall said laughing. Logan rolled his eyes as they walked up to the front desk. There was a woman in her late twenties sitting there.
"Can I help you," the woman asked with a smile.
"Yes, we have an appointment for Kendall Knight," Kendall said. The woman typed into her computer.
"Yes, we have you here at one o'clock," the woman said her smile never fading. "Just go to the waiting room on your right through those doors and your doctor will be with you shortly," she said. The two nodded and walked through the doors. They walked into a room with the same yellow walls but the pictures were only those of babies. Kendall looked around and saw the room was empty. He wasn't really surprised by that it was empty. It was the middle of the afternoon on a Monday. Most people had work.
"So what is this appointment for?" Logan asked.
"Check up and I am gonna get refills for my vitamins that I've been taking for the baby and I don't think we'll get to see it, I'm not sure," Kendall said.
"Ok then," Logan said nodding his head. They sat there for a few minutes before they were called back.
They followed a nurse back to a room. The nurse took Kendall's vital signs and then left telling them to doctor would be in soon.
"So this is really happening huh?" Logan asked.
"Yeah," Kendall said nodding his head. This was only his second appointment for the baby. It was starting to really feel real.
There was a knock at the door and it opened to reveal a middle aged man. He was tall and lanky and had dark graying hair and brown eyes. He seemed kind.
"Kendall Knight," the doctor said.
"That's me," Kendall said smiling slightly. He was nervous as hell. The doctor shook his hand and turned to Logan.
"I'm Logan Mitchell, the father," Logan said.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Dak was moving about his apartment getting ready for his date with Jett. Dani and Amy were sitting on the couch together waiting for him move about.
"Dak," Dani said.
"I know it's just a date, but if I mess this up-" Dak started.
"Dak you won't mess this up," Dani said.
"How do you know?" Dak asked, "I mean we're supposed to be starting over and taking things slow this time," he said.
"Then take things slow," Dani said.
"That's easier said then done," Dak said shaking his head.
"You are such pessimist," Dani said shaking her head. Dak sighed and fell into the chair by the couch. He sighed and closed his eyes.
"You're right," Dak said, "but I think a part of me wants this to go bad," he added.
"You ever gonna tell me who this other guy is?" Dani asked. Dak shook his head. Dani sighed. "You know you'll never get over him if you don't even try to be happy with someone else," she said.
"Maybe I don't' want to be happy with anyone else," Dak said.
"Dak I don't know this guy, but I can already tell I don't like him. He obviously doesn't like you so he's not worth it," Dani said.
"I know, but the heart wants what the heart wants," Dak said.
"Are you being fair to Jett then?" Dani asked.
"I don't know maybe, I mean I fell for him once and those feelings are still there," Dak said.
"You're not being fair to Jett or yourself," Dani said.
Dak looked away form his sister. He didn't want to admit she was right. He wanted to believe that he could fall in love with Jett again. He knew he had fallen for him once, so he could possibly fall for him again.
-Better than I know Myself-
Kendall sighed as he settled into his apartment. Carlos would be getting off from work soon and they would be able to talk. He hadn't had a chance to tell Carlos about his appointment yet. He had found out the baby was healthy and he was doing fine. He was starting to get a bit more excited about this.
Kendall knew Carlos was excited too. Carlos couldn't wait for the little angel to get here. He was already talking about buying baby clothes and toys for the baby. Kendall smiled to himself. He was glad Carlos was happy about this. He was going to have someone to help him at least.
Kendall heard the door open. He sat up and looked to the door and saw Carlos coming in. He fell back onto the couch once more.
"Hey Ken," Carlos said as he tossed his keys onto the counter and walked over to the blonde.
"Hey Los," Kendall said.
"How did the doctor's visit go?" Carlos asked.
"Good, the baby is healthy and everything, next appointment we'll get to hear the heart and what not," Kendall said.
"Isn't this exciting?" Carlos asked.
"I guess," Kendall said.
"Come on Kendall, you're bringing a life into this world, I mean yeah it's not the way you expected," Carlos said.
"Not really helping me," Kendall said laughing.
"I lost my point," Carlos said.
"How the baby is exciting," Kendall said.
"Oh yeah, she will be," Carlos said nodding his head.
"She?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah, I think you're going to have a girl," Carlos stated matter-of-factly.
"Well you're wrong, it's gonna be a boy and I will teach him to play hockey," Kendall said.
"No it's gonna be a girl, and you're going to take her to ballet," Carlos said. Kendall laughed and shook his head.
"It's gonna be a boy," Kendall said.
"Sure," Carlos said nodding his head.
"You don't agree with me," Kendall stated.
"Nope," Carlos said. Kendall laughed and shook his head.
-Better than I Know Myself-
Dak looked up from his food at Jett who was eating. They had gone to a movie and now were having a late dinner. Dak was having a great time getting to know Jett all over again. It was fun. It was like they were really on a first date. Dak felt a foot brush his and he smiled pushing his foot back. Dak chuckled and looked down at his food once more.
"So," Jett said.
"Yes," Dak said looking up once more. He saw Jett was looking at him this time.
"This night has been great," Jett said.
"It has," Dak said nodding his head.
"You know, I am really glad we decided to do this," Jett said. Dak nodded his head again. "It's been fun getting to know you again Dak."
"I know," Dak said nodding his head once more.
"You're like a bobble head," Jett teased. Dak laughed and hung his head.
"I'm sorry, it's just I'm nervous," Dak said.
"About what?" Jett asked.
"I don't know, what if this doesn't work again, or what if Logan and James never come around to the fact that we're dating again," Dak said.
"Don't play the what if game Dak, it'll drive you crazy," Jett said laughing. Dak laughed as well. "Look Dak whatever happens, happens and we have to take the good with the bad and just keep moving forward," he said.
"When did you get so deep?" Dak asked snarkily.
"I always have, you just never listened," Jett said causing Dak to laugh again. The two finished eating while talking and laughing at one another's jokes. Once they were done Jett paid and they left. They walked back to Jett's car.
"This was great Jett," Dak said once they stopped by the driver's side door.
"Great enough to warrant a second date?" Jett asked.
"I'll think about it," Dak teased. Dak walked around the car and got into the passengers seat. Jett drove him to his apartment building. Jett stopped the car. They sat there for a moment.
"So I'll call you?" Jett asked.
"Yeah, you've got my number," Dak said nodding his head. He got out of the car and walked to the door. He turned and saw Jett pulling away. He stood there and watched him drive away. Dak made his way into the building and up to his apartment. He walked into the apartment in time to see Dani fall onto the couch.
"Just get Ames to bed?" Dak asked
"She's being stubborn," Dani said nodding her head. "How was your date?" she asked.
"Great," Dak said.
"That's good, just be careful Dak," Dani said.
"I know Dani," Dak said nodding his head.
