~Chapter Thirty-Three~

~Kendall's POV~

I woke up to Fluffy Marshmallow licking my face; I could hear Gracie giggling out in the living room area. I rolled out of bed taking Fluffy Marshmallow with me.

"Hi Daddy."

"Princess, what have I told you about waking me up using Fluffy Marshmallow?"

"I don't remember." She gave me her best puppy dog face.

"I'm sure you don't." I shook my head and handed her dog back.

"I love you Daddy."

"Love you too." I sat down on the couch and she climbed up into my lap. "Where's Mommy?"

"Ryan."

"Oh."

"Mmhmm." She laid her head on my chest. "Are you happy we're here?"

"Of course I'm happy you are here, I was sad when I though I wasn't going to see you for two months."

"Are you mad at Mommy?"

"No, what makes you ask?"

She just shrugged and wouldn't look at me.

"Do you know something I don't?"

She shook her head.

"You know you can tell me anything."

"I just over heard something that I shouldn't have." She looked up at me. "No worries Daddy."

"You sure?"

"Yup." She nodded her head.

"You are just like your mother."

"Thank you Daddy." She grinned at me.

I just shook my head and laughed. The two of them were so much alike it was kinda scary.

Here's to hoping that our next child is more like me.

"Whatcha ya thinking about Daddy?"

"Who your brother or sister will be more like." I looked down at her. "Me or Mommy. What do you think?"

"A mix of both."

"What makes you say that?"

"It's what I want.

"I love you Baby Girl."

"Love you too, Daddy."

"So what are you doing in here?"

"Well, I'm supposed to be working on school work."

"And why aren't you?"

"I didn't want to."

"And what is Mommy gonna say when she finds out you didn't do your work?"

"She's gonna take away my ice cream."

"And we don't want that do we?"

"No, but I hate math." She pouted at me.

"Would you like some help?"

"Would you Daddy?"

"All you have to do is ask, you know that."

"Thanks Daddy." She threw her arms around my neck and hugged me.

"Let's get to work before Mommy shows up."

"Good idea Daddy." She put Fluffy Marshmallow on the floor and then went to go get Jade's laptop so we could work on school work.

An hour later Jade climbed up on the bus looking peeved. But when she saw us snuggled down on the couch working, her whole face lit up.

"I see she convinced you to help her with her math."

"It's no big deal." I shrugged.

"Did you get it all done?"

"Pretty much, we have a few problems to finish before bed."

"That's good. Well it's time for dinner, what do you guys say?"

"I'm hungry Mommy."

"I am to; let's go before they boys eat all the chicken nuggets."

"They wouldn't dare, they know better than that." Gracie closed the laptop and set it on the couch next to her. "But just to be sure we should go."

"Leash on Fluffy Marshmallow."

"She doesn't like her leash."

"I know, but we had an agreement when I let you bring her."

"I know, but that doesn't mean we have to like it."

Jade rolled her eyes and handed Gracie Fluffy Marshmallow's leash. Gracie rolled her eyes and took it from Jade and then went to hook Fluffy Marshmallow up.

I looked at Jade and she just rolled her eyes. I had to bite my lip to keep from laughing. Jade shook her head and headed for the door. I just followed after her with Gracie between us.

Once off the bus Gracie walked ahead of us as Jade and I held hands. I felt so normal when we were like this, like an everyday family. I wonder if it was going to be like this when it was all said and done. As sad as I was to see everything come to an end, it was time to move on.

~Jade's POV~

When we walked into the green room, Ryan was glaring at me, well until Kendall looked at her. Then she was all smiles. I just knew he was blinded by the fake smile. It made me sick. I really just wanted to slap that smile off her face.

"You okay?" Kendall snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm okay." I smiled slightly at him.

"Want me to fix you a plate?"

"Would you?"

"Of course." He kissed my forehead. "Go sit down and I will bring you a plate."

"You're the best." I kissed his cheek and went to sit down.

And of course the only place with enough seats for all of us was across from Ryan. Just want I needed another headache.

I sat down and Gracie sat next to me. I picked Fluffy Marshmallow up and put her on my lap. I petted her to keep myself from reaching over the table and strangling Ryan.

"Mommy, what do you want to drink?"

"Root Beer please, Love."

"Mmmkay." She headed over to Kendall and James.

"Cute dog." I turned and looked at Ryan.

"Thanks."

"What's its name?"

"Fluffy Marshmallow."

"You're joking right?"

"Nope, that's what Gracie named her and Fluffy Marshmallow, likes it."

"Weird name for a dog, don't you think?"

"Not at all, she belongs to Gracie and it fits her." I shrugged putting the conversation to an end.

"Here you go Mommy." Gracie put my root beer on table.

"So Gracie, how did you come up with Fluffy Marshmallow?"

"It just came to me."

"A little strange for a dog, don't you think?"

"Don't you think Ryan's a strange name for a girl?"

I covered a laugh with a cough, oh how I loved my child.

"Mommy, I'm gonna go sit with Logie and Los, okay."

"Okay Love Bug." I set Fluffy Marshmallow on the ground then kissed the top of her head.

She smiled at me before taking off over to Logan and Carlos.

"She doesn't like me, does she?"

"She doesn't like people making fun of Fluffy Marshmallow's name." I looked back at Ryan. "Logan did and the dog peed on him, and then did a number one and two in his favorite hat. And he bought the dog for her."

"Oh."

"Here you go Wifey." Kendall set my plate in front of me.

"Thank Hubby." I grinned at him as he sat down next to me. "Where's your food?"

"I figured we could share." He grinned at me.

I rolled my eyes and pushed the plate between us. He took a fry off the plate and popped it into his mouth, grinning the whole time. I just opened my Root Beer and took a drink.

"So when do you think you will be able to give me another guitar lesson?"

"I don't know. Tomorrow is a travel day and I'll be on Jade's bus."

"Oh." She pouted. "I guess the next stop will have to do."

Gage me with a fucking fork, she is lying it on really thick.

"Sorry, but I want to spend as much time with my family as I can." Kendall shrugged.

I had to bite my cheek to keep the huge smile off my face. Jade 1, Ryan 0. I win this round, bitch.

"Well I guess I need to go stretch out and get ready to go on."

"Have a good show, if I don't see you before."

"Thanks you too." She stormed off.

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Not at all." I smiled at him as I popped a fry in my mouth.

I loved how clueless he could be sometimes.

"So what are we doing tomorrow?"

"Like you said it's a travel day, so most likely someone will talk us into playing the Wii."

"That's fine with me. We haven't spent much time as a family."

"We've been busy, plus she like hanging out with her uncles."

"It helps they are all scared of her telling on them to you. So they do whatever she wants." He laughed.

"Yeah, she gets that from me."

"I know she does." He rolled my eyes.

"Well, have you noticed that she's picked up a lot of you mannerisms?"

"Has she?" He crinkled his nose.

"See like that." I pointed to his face. "She does the same thing when I ask her a question that she doesn't know the answer too. She crinkles her nosed the same way. It's so cute."

"I will have to look then next time I ask her a question."

"That works." I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Still tired?"

"I didn't get to sleep as long as you did, duty called." I rolled my eyes.

"But you love your job."

"I do, which is why the person who called is still breathing. It's beside the point it's illegal to kill them."

"You are something else, Love."

"You're the second person to tell me that today."

"It's the truth." He laughed.

"Whatever." I mumbled and closed my eyes.

"You can fall asleep on me."

"Whatever are you talking about?" I looked up at him. "I fall asleep on you all the time."

"Really not what I meant." He laughed.

I just rolled my eyes and sat up.

"I love you."

"Mmhmm." I picked up a chicken nugget and bit it in half. "Did you need something?"

"Just you."

"Cheesy." I laughed.

"That's why you love me."

"Is there a reason you don't want me to take a cat nap?"

"Uh, I guess not."

I rolled my eyes and took a drink of Root Beer.

"Anyways, have you heard anything from Sky?"

"Nope not yet, but they aren't doing it until tomorrow."

"Oh." He ran his fingers through his hair.

"The Doctor said it might not take the first time."

"I know, I just want this so bad."

"I do too, don't worry, it will happen when it happens."

"I'm not good at waiting."

"I'm not either." I laughed. "Just focus on the tour and things will happen when they do."

"I will try."

"I will try and distract you as best as I can." I kissed his cheek.

"Oh will you?"

"Mmhmm." I winked at him as my phone started to ring.

I pulled it out of my back pocket and saw that it was Cassie calling me. I sighed and stood up.

"Cassie?"

"Who else would it be?"

"My Mom?"

"Right, I have to go take this." I kissed him before I answered my phone.

"Hi Cassie." I rolled my eyes and walked away from Kendall.

"I'm gonna kill him." She growled.

"What did James do now?" This was the third time she had called me today.

"He's being an ass and not answering his phone."

"And really what do you want me to do about it?"

"I don't know, just do something."

"You really confuse the hell out of me Cassie."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You want me to treat you like an adult, but yet every time you have a problem you come running to me."

"You're my big sister it's what you're there for."

"Yes, but you need to start solving your own problems with James, okay?"

"Why are you being such a Bitch?"

"I have enough problems of my own, I don't need you adding yours on top of mine okay?"

"Fine." She hung up on me.

I hit the end button and gripped my phone tightly in my hand. If I didn't need my phone I would have thrown it at the wall. Great now I was in a bad mood, and I really wanted to strangle someone, anyone would do.

"You okay Momma Bear?" I looked up to see James in front of me.

"Well your girlfriend isn't talk to me anymore."

"Why?"

"I told her that she needed to handle her own problems, like the adult she claims she is. She didn't like that too much."

"Oh."

"Yeah, so if I was you, I'd call and apologize for whatever you did to piss her off this time."

"Thanks Momma Bear."

I just waved him off.

Between Cassie and Ryan, I was going to end up killing someone. They both were driving me crazy.

God how was I going to make it through this damn tour?
