Happy Mistakes
Chapter 10: Surprise!
Kendall sighed as he pulled James closer to him. He pressed his face into James' neck. James chucked and squirmed in the blondes hold.
"If Kelly finds out I'm not sick, she's gonna kill me," Kendall muttered.
"So don't let her find out," James replied pulling away from his husband and turning to face him.
"It's almost noon, we should get out of bed," Kendall said looking to the alarm clock.
Kendall had gotten up early for work, only to be convinced by James to call in sick. It was one of James' rare days off, so Kendall couldn't resist. The kids were all out of the house. Kyle and Leora were at school and Jenny was with Katie. She loves her auntie Katie. The two had gone back to bed.
"We could stay in bed all day," James purred.
"Yeah? Let the kids fend for themselves?" Kendall chuckled.
"Totally, I already texted Kaite. She's off from work today and Michael loves Jenny. She's happy to keep her longer," James said.
"So I guess we are spending by the day in bed, but I have to warn you that my stomach might require food at some point," Kendall replied.
"I'm on it," James said snatching his phone from his bedside table.
Kendall chuckled as he watched his husband. It was moments like these that he missed. They were rare, but cherished nonetheless.
"So Thai sound good?" James said glancing over at the blonde.
"It can wait," Kendall said grabbing the phone. He set it aside. He leaned over his husband pushing him down onto the bed.
"Oh and what did you have in mind then?" James asked with a grin.
Kendall just leaned down and sealed their lips together. James hummed into the kiss. His hands came up to play with the blonde's hair. They parted breathlessly.
"Is that the plan?" James asked grinning.
"Always," Kendall replied. He leaned down and sealed their lips together once more. He moved until he was in between James's legs.
"I like where this is heading," James said, his arms wrapping around Kendall's neck.
"Too much talking," Kendall stated. He pressed their lips together, rougher than before. He ground his hips into James. A moan slipped past James' lips.
Kendall started to rock against him. It had been too long since they had done this. He needed James, and he needed him now. He sat up pulling James with him. He tugged at the tank top James was wearing.
"Off," Kendall said.
"Someone's eager," James chuckled.
Kendall carded his fingers through James' hair. He tugged lightly knowing James liked it. He leaned in until his lips were inches from James' ear. "You are weaning too many clothes. I want you naked now, so I can fuck you senseless," he growled, sending a shiver down James' spine.
James quickly removed his shirt once Kendall released him. Kendall roughly picked him back down onto the bed. He grabbed his underwear. James lifted his hips and the offending piece of clothing was gone in a flash.
Kendall quickly tore his own clothes off as well. Soon the two were kissing heatedly again, grinding their hips together. Every movement was frantic. Kendall wanted more. He started kissing and nipping his way down James' body, paying extra attention to his nipples. James was a loaning writing mess beneath the blonde.
"God Jamie, you're so hot like this," Kendall said his hand grabbing his erection James just gasped as Kendall started to pump his hand. He leaned down and licked the head.
"Ken-" James panted.
Kendall took the whole length into his mouth. He started bobbing his head. The moans filling the room got louder. Kendall was proud that he could reduce James a a moaning mess so easily.
Kendall sat up quickly. He looked down at James who was panting, and whined at the loss of contact. Kendall had something else in mind.
"On your knees," he demanded. James looked at him. His eyes wide with lust. "Now."
James snapped out of his daze. He quickly rolled over. He got up on his knees, his ass on display for Kendall. Without hesitating Kendall leaned down and licked his ass. James shivered and moaned at the contact.
Kendall sat up and leaned over to the bedside table. He quickly grabbed the lube that was stashed their. He slicked his fingers and started to prep James for what was to come. All the while James was still a moaning hot mess. Once Kendall deemed him ready he entered the brunette in one swift movement. James gasped at the sudden intrusion. Kendall didn't give him much time as he started moving. He knew James hated when he waited. He watched as James' back tensed. A telltale sign that he was close to his climax. Kendall doubled his efforts. James let out a pleasure cry. It was long before he reached his climax. That was enough to send Kendall over the edge himself.
Kendall fell onto the bed beside James. He was exhausted. He looked over at the brunette with a grin. James smiled back.
"That was fun," Kendall said. He sat up and add his way to the bathroom. He grabbed a washcloth and cleaned himself up. He grabbed another and brought it to James.
"Why did we wait so long for that?" James questioned.
"No clue," Kendall said as he climbed back into bed. "Now let's take a nap and we can order lunch later." James nodded in agreement.
-Happy Mistakes-
Kyle quickly made his way into the palm woods. He had gotten a text from Roldy telling him that Jared's court appearance hadn't gone well. The girls were being temporarily given to his aunt. He spotted the guys sitting in the lobby together. There were two big suitcases on the floor. They were all talking to Jared.
"Dude this is wrong," Matt said shaking his head.
"It's only temporary custody," Roldy assured Jared.
"We will fight this," Noah added quickly.
"Jared," Kyle said making himself known to the group. Matt scooted over and allowed Kyle to sit beside the older male. "Are you ok? What happened?"
"Apparently I'm reckless and I can't provide the girls a stable home. This is all
Because I took them to New York last week," Jared replied.
"What? That's crazy!" Kyle said.
"That's what I said, but we've got a one more court date on Friday and then we should get a decision by Monday," Jared replied.
"I'm so sorry," Kyle said.
"It's not your fault," Jared replied.
"I made you come to New York," Kyle said.
"No you didn't, I wanted to be there. I should've left the girls with Jackie and Carter, but then I would've been accused of abandoning them," Jared replied bitterly.
"She's not gonna win this fight," Kyle said.
"Maybe she should! I have no clue what I'm doing. At least with her they can have a stable home and not have to worry about where I'll be taking them," Jared replied, "I should've just let her do this before. I had to let Jackie and Carter get to me," he added bitterly.
"Jared you care about those girls more than anything. I've seen you with them. No one really knows what they are doing when it comes to raising kids. It's a learning curve," Kyle said, "we learn as we go and hope we don't screw them up too bad."
"Yeah but I messed up. I acted irresponsibly," Jared said shaking his head.
"Then we will just have to make that judge see how responsible you are," Kyle stated. He looked to the guys.
"Yeah, who else makes sure Carly takes her pills, or that Jill doesn't forget her homework," Roldy asked.
"Yeah I guess," Jared sighed.
"We will figure this out," Kyle promised.
"Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Noah asked.
"I got out early. Lilly has an appointment today," Kyle replied. "I would totally understand if you didn't want to come today." He added looking to Jared.
"Sorry," Jared said.
"It's ok, you stay here and I'll be back later," Kyle replied. He hugged the older male. "I'm sorry, we will find a way to make this right."
-Happy Mistakes-
James moved about the kitchen getting lunch ready for himself and Kendall. They had spent all morning in bed together. Kendall had spent all morning showing James just how much he loved him.
James had ordered some Thai food. He was getting them something to drink and was bringing all the food upstairs. He had been serious about staying in bed all day. Today was a day for him and Kendall.
James gathered all the food and drinks and made his way up stairs. He saw Kendall sitting up in bed with his phone in his hands. James frowned. He cleared his throat and Kendall set his phone aside.
"Sorry, I was just checking up on a few things," Kendall said smiling apologetically.
"It's fine, I know you're a workaholic," James replied as he handed Kendall some of the food.
The two spread the food out and set their drinks on the bedside table. They started eating in silence.
"So what's going on in the outside world?" James asked.
"Nothing much, Jared lost custody of his sisters for the time being. He's got one more court date to get this all settled," Kendall said.
"Wow," James said, "do you think he's able to take care of those girls."
"I already testified that he was more than capable," Kendall replied.
"I wonder what she did, this can't be good," James said slowly.
"It'll all work out in the end. Whatever happens, I just hope those girls are cared for," Kendall said waving a hand.
"So," James said changing the subject, "I was talking with Leora and she's starting on college applications. She's looking at UCLA, Berkeley, and Stanford."
"Wow, I forget that her and Kyle are seniors already," Kendall said looking down at his lap for a moment. "They grew up so fast."
"I know," James agreed. "Has Kyle been talking about college?"
"Not a peep, he's hinted that he might take a year off for the baby though," Kendall said.
"I wouldn't be opposed to that, but I wish he'd take his education a little more seriously," James sighed.
"James in his mind he doesn't need it. He's got his career, it's basically been handed to him. It's partly my fault too, but he's got everything set," Kendall replied.
"I know...I just...it would be nice if he ha a fall back like you and I did," James said.
"But you don't even use you're degree," Kendall replied.
"Yeah, but where do you think Jake gets his love of photography from? I used to take him and Adam with me all the time when they were little. Who knows maybe once my modeling career is up I'll go behind the camera," James shrugged.
"You're too sexy to be behind the camera," Kendall declared.
"I said when my modeling career is done," James laughed shoving the blonde playfully. Kendall just laughed.
"I'm so glad you talked me into this," Kendall said.
"Me too," James replied as he leaned in and kissed the blond on the cheek. Kendall grinned. "Happy Birthday, by the way."
"What?" Kendall asked.
"You forgot," James laughed.
"Oh my god it's my birthday," Kendall said. James laughed again nodding his head.
-Happy Mistakes-
Lilly sighed as she exited her the doctors office. Kyle was right behind her. The doctor said she was ready to go at anytime, it was whenever the baby decided to come. She was getting a bit impatient.
"Lilly slow down, it's not a race," Kyle said as he caught up with her. "You heard the doctor, it's only a matter of time."
"I know, I just...she's taking her sweet time," Lilly sighed.
"You're due date isn't for two more weeks. Everything if fine," Kyle said with a small chuckle. "Let's just be happy she's healthy."
"Yeah I guess," Lilly sighed, "so why didn't Jared come?"
"He's got a lot going on. His aunt got custody of his sisters for the time being. He got I trouble for brining them to New York. It was irresponsible, and he can't provide a stable home or something," lKyle explained.
"Wow, they are grasping at straws now aren't they?" Lilly asked as they approached her car. Kyle quickly opened the door for her.
"Yeah, but he really cares about his sisters. I hope he can convince the court of that," Kyle replied.
"It'll all work out in the end. I'm sure he'll get them back. If I were him I'd get the girls in homeschool program so that when he does have to travel they can still be in school," Lilly said as she stood by her open car door.
"That's not a bad idea," Kyle said slowly. "You're a genius Lil, thanks. I gotta go. I'll talk to you later ok."
"Sounds good, I'm off from work now so I have nothing to do but sit at home and wait for this baby to decide she's ready to meet the world," Lilly replied.
Kyle gave her a quick hug before running to his own car. Lilly stood there a moment longer. She could tell he was excited for this baby to be born. Lilly wished that she felt some of that excitement, but she didn't. She didn't feel anything towards this baby, no matter how hard she tried.
-Happy Mistakes-
Leora yawned as she listened to Artie and Lucas talk. They weren't even including her in the conversation, she didn't mind though. She had other things on her mind. She was worried about Miles. He had almost completely stopped texting her. Before he texted her like all day, now she was lucky to get a reply from him. Hopefully he wasn't in one of his down moods. Kyle would've said something to her if he was.
"Earth to Leora."
Lucas was waving a hand in front of her face. Leora looked at him with a sheepish grin.
"Sorry," she said.
"Space case much?" Artie laughed.
"A little, what were you saying?" Leora asked.
"I was asking how your date went," Artie said.
"It was ok, but I already knew Shane, and there is no chemistry there. It was nice catching up though," Leora replied.
"Hey I tried," Artie chuckled.
"Thanks though. It did make me realize how much I do miss dating," Leora sighed.
"The right guy is out there Le," Lucas said.
"I know, but enough about me," Leora said waving her hand. "Lu I've got a question."
"I might have an answer," Lucas replied with a smile.
"Have you noticed anything odd about Mikes lately?" Leora asked.
"No, not really. He's been as annoying as ever, and his big mouth almost got our asses kicked in gym class today," Lucas shrugged.
"What happened?" Artie asked.
"Just a couple of jocks. I told them off for messing with one of the new kids and now they are trying to start stuff with me. I ignore, but Miles can't," Lucas said.
"Lucas if those guys are bothering you-" Leora started.
"They aren't, I can handle it. It's nothing I haven't dealt with before," Lucas replied waving a hand at her. "So why you asking about Miles?"
"I don't know, I know he goes through his depressive moods. It feels like he's avoiding me. I just...I worry," Leora said.
"Talk to him," Lucas said.
"I'm scared I might've done something to upset him. He hasn't been the same ever since we got back from New York," Leora replied.
"Talk to him, you'll never know if you don't talk to him," Artie said.
Leora nodded her head. They were right. She needed to talk to Miles. She just hoped that he wasn't mad at her. She couldn't think of anything that she had done to upset him. She was really just hoping he wasn't in one of his depressive moods.
-Happy Mistakes-
Jake looked at his phone again impatiently. Adam and Leora were sitting on the couch. Cooper and Damien were sitting on the floor with Miri and Kenny. He had called them in panic asking them to get here as quickly as they could. Neither knew what was up. They were waiting for Kyle to show up.
"He's gonna be late, what's going on Jake?" Leora asked curiously.
"Yeah, he's too busy for us," Adam agreed.
"Guys I've come to the realization that we are awful children," Jake said putting his phone away.
"What are you on about now," Adam asked arching a brow at his brother.
"Guys, we forgot dads birthday," Jake said quickly.
"What? No we didn't," Leora said whipping her phone out. Her face fell as she realized Jake was right. "Oh my god you're right!"
"Again I say, awful children," Jake said.
There was a knock at the door. Damien answered it as everyone discussed how awful they emerge for forgetting Kendall's birthday again. Kyle barged into the apartment with a shopping bag in his hand.
"Alright losers, it's Kyle to the rescue again," Kyle said tossing the bag onto the coffee table.
"What do you mean again?" Jake asked.
"You all forgot dads birthday again didn't you?" Kyle asked knowingly.
"And you didn't?" Adam asked.
"Nope, I texted him this morning," Kyle said pulling his phone out. He showed Adam the text.
"Why did you text him?" Adam asked.
"Cause I wasn't home," Kyle replied.
"He practically lives with Jared," Leora said.
"I don't live with him yet, I'm just helping him with his sisters, who may not be living with him for much longer," Kyle said slowly, "anyways there are cards in the bag and I've got a cake in the car. So sign a card and let's go." He said changing the subject back to the matter at hand.
"So when are you moving?" Adam asked, "you know you're gonna."
"Is it gonna be before baby or after?" Jake asked.
"We haven't talked about it," Kyle admitted with a shrug.
"Better figure it out, Lilly is about to pop," Adam said.
"Yeah, don't wait until the last second to figure things out," Jake said.
"Guys leave him alone, I'm sure he has a plan," Damien said.
"Don't listen to them Kyle, they are awful when they get together, you know that," Cooper said.
"Hey," Jake and Adam protested in unison.
"You guys are a bit much," Leora agreed.
"You two are nosey," Damien added.
"Can we focus," Kyle cut in. "Sign the cards and we can go."
"We are not nosey," Adam said.
"Please all you two do is sit around a gossip while the kids play," Cooper said.
"While Coop and I watch the kids," Damien said.
"Oh my god you two have turned into pops and Carlos," Kyle said a hand covering his mouth. Leora started laughing.
"Shut up!" Jake and Adam said.
"It's true!" Leora cried wiping a tear from her eye.
Leora pulled out the cards and everyone passed them around trying to find one they liked. Once the cards were signed and the kids ready to go, they left the apartment.
-Happy Mistakes-
Kendall yawned as he made his way to the kitchen. He had just returned from picking up Jenny from Katie's house. She had been so happy to see him, yet reluctant to leave her aunt. As soon as he had gotten her into the car she passed out. He had brought her to bed.
He looked to James, who was making himself a bowl of ice cream. He was wearing a for fitting tank top, and a pair of underwear. Kendall couldn't help but look him up and down. He loved the way James moved. It always seemed to graceful and sexy. It was something he never got tired of seeing.
"Are you gonna join me, or stand there like a creep?" James asked.
"I think I'll stand here admiring my super sexy husband," Kendall replied not moving an inch. His eyes were glued to James' body.
"Didn't you get enough of that earlier," James asked turning to the blonde with an eyebrow arched.
"Never," Kendall replied. He crossed room. He walked up behind James and wrapped his arms around him. He kissed his neck. "I could never get enough of you."
A small moan slipped past James' lips. Kendall grinned as he slipped a hand over James' waist. His hand and came to rest on the growing bulge.
"I see you've made a miraculous recovery," Kendall replied.
"I guess it really was all in my head," James replied breathlessly.
Kendall grabbed James and led him from the kitchen. They made it as far as the hallway. Kendall pinned James against the wall. His lips attacking James' neck. As James squirmed in his husband's hold, he bumped the light switch, turning the light off. James groped for the switch.
"Leave it, we won't be here long," Kendall said grabbing his hand. He pulled it down to his own crotch. "See what you do to me?"
James hummed appreciatively. Kendall brought his lips to the sensitive spot on his neck.
Suddenly they heard the front door rattle. They sprang apart. James dashed into the kitchen. Kendall followed suit. They ducked behind the counter. James looked worried while Kendall was trying t build back laughter.
"It's probably Leora," Kendall said quietly.
"Our kids have the worst timing," James groaned softly. Kendall chuckled. They heard voices approaching.
"I told you we should've called," Adam said.
"I'm not going upstairs," Kyle said quickly.
"Don't look at me!" Leora replied.
"You guys are so immature," Jake added.
"Coop and I will be in the living room with the kids," Damien told them.
"Yeah, this seems like a family thing, we will leave you guys to it," Cooper replied.
"They're coming in here," Kendall said trying not to laugh.
"Shh," James hissed as quietly as he could. They heard their kids enter the kitchen.
"Don't be be naïve, Jake, we all know what they are doing," Adam said.
"Yeah, they had the house to themselves," Kyle said.
"Yes, but do we always have to assume they are doing that. They could be sleeping or something," Jake said slowly.
"Then you go and get them," Leora replied.
"Are you guys really gonna be this immature," Jake asked.
"Why are you so scared Jake, they're probably sleeping right," Adam asked.
Kendall looked over at James. James was frowning. Kendall put a hand over his mouth trying not to laugh. James only glared harder at him. The kids continued to talk, oblivious to their dads on the other side of the counter.
"Ok there is only one way to settle this," Kyle said cutting off the squabbling.
"No way, you guys cheat," Jake said.
"How do you cheat at rock, paper, scissors?" Leora asked.
"I don't know, but you guys do," Adam said.
"I'm not doing this, you guys always make it so it's between me and Adam, it's no fair," Jake said.
"It's a twin thing," Adam said.
"How else as we gonna settle this?" Kyle asked.
"Fine," Jake said.
Silence followed. Kendall looked over at James, still trying not to laugh. James did not look pleased. Kendall nudged him. James shook his head. Kendall grinned. They jumped as Jake and Adam cursed.
"How do you guys do that!" Jake asked.
"Magic, now you both have to go," Kyle declared.
"Yes, losers, go," Leora chimed.
Jake and Adam grumbled and left the kitchen. Kendall looked over at James. He didn't know what to do. Should they reveal them selves?
"They are so dumb," Leora said.
"Oblivious," Kyle agreed. "Dad, pops, you can come out now."
Kendall's eyes went wide, as did Hames' eyes. They were shocked. How did they know they were there. They hadn't said a word. They hadn't moved an inch.
"Do you guys need clothes? Please don't tell me you're naked back there," Leora said.
"What would give you that idea?" Kendall asked standing up finally. James however remained seated.
"I knew it," Kyle said.
"Well you guys...dad you know what you're like," Leora said her cheeks red.
James nudged Kendall. Kendall looked down at his husband. James pointed out his state of undress.
"That offer for clothes," Kendall said to his daughter.
"Got it," Leora said.
"Jeans and a shirt for your father please," Kendall said. Leora nodded and left the kitchen. "What are you all doing here?"
"Well it's your birthday and we thought you might like to see your kids and enjoy some cake," Kyle replied pointing to the cake he had set on the table.
"Wow, so you guys didn't forget after all," Kendall replied.
"I didn't forget, they did until like an hour ago," Kyle replied as he hopped up onto the counter.
"You guys couldn't call ahead?" James asked from his spot on the floor.
"Well you see pops, it's five at night and we just those get you guys might have actually decided to be normal for once, maybe making dinner, or watching a movie. Not be having sex in the kitchen when we got here. For the record Adam and I really did want to call ahead, but Jake convinced us not to," Kyle explained.
Kendall chuckled at that which earned him a smack from James. He looked down at his husband. "What now? Come on that's funny. Our kids know us so well."
"Yeah, well when you walk in on it enough, you learn," Kyle replied.
"So how's Jared?" Kendall asked changing the subject.
"He's...he's upset and he has every right to be. She's fighting dirty and winning," Kyle said shaking his head.
"Maybe you're gonna have to fight dirty," Kendall replied.
"Kendall Knight," James said jumping up.
"I've tried! Jared won't listen to me. I've asked him to go to Jace, but his pride won't let him," Kyle said annoyed.
"Fighting dirty isn't the answer," James said.
"She's doing it and look what it got her. She's got the girls, who are scared of her, but won't say why. She already had a kid and raised him. She's got the sympathy vote because her brother was killed by his deranged wife who brainwashed Jared. That is her argument," Kyle said.
"Calm down," James said, "I'm sure-"
"If you say this will all work out in the ends I'll scream. That's all the guys have been saying and it's annoying," Kyle said pointing a finger at James.
Leora chose that moment to return. She jaded James the clothes. "Jake and Adam are in the living room with the kids." She said.
"Thank you," James said. He quickly dressed himself and stole Kendall's phone. He checked his hair as he told her to go get her brothers. Once she was gone James turned his attention back to Kyle as he got dressed. "I'm sure everything will work out Kyle."
"Oh my god, I am so sick of hearing that. I already told you not to say it," Kyle sighed annoyed.
"I'm sorry, but-"
"Don't listen to him Kyle, he's trying to be a good parent and tell you to take the high road," Kendall said earning a glare from James.
"Kendall," James said warningly.
"Go talk to Jace yourself. If you think something is off, it's better to check it out before it's too late," Kendall said.
"I can't go behind Jared like that, he'll get mad," Kyle replied.
"So what, those girls safety comes first. If you think something off about the way she treats those girls, who better to tell you than her own son," Kendall said.
The others all entered the kitchen. Miri saw Kendall and James and took off running. Kendall grinned and caught her in a hug. He gave her a kiss on the cheek, and passed her to James, so that he could have his hug and kiss.
Kendall greeted the rest of his family with hugs as well. He thanked his kids for the surprise cake and cards.
-Happy Mistakes-
Logan made his way up the driveway. He had just gotten back from his date with Carlos. He had finally managed to as Carlos out, as part of their therapy. It had started out awkward, but as the night progressed things became familiar.
It had been nice to be out with Carlos again, and not talk about their problems. That had been one of the stipulations of their dates. They weren't allowed to talk about their separation, or Lilly's baby. They did however talk about the kids, and their jobs. They had caught up over a nice dinner. Logan was feeling better about their relationship. They still had a lot to work out, but maybe things weren't as bleak as Logan had thought.
He made his way into the condo. He walked past the living room. He paused when he saw Lilly sitting on the couch. She was reading a boom with a hand on her stomach. She was frowning.
"Can't sleep?" Logan asked startling her.
"No, couldn't get comfortable," Lilly replied.
"Everything ok?" Logan asked, knowing there was something she wasn't telling him.
"Yeah," Lilly shrugged.
"Are you sure?" Logan asked.
"I don't know, something just doesn't feel right," Lilly said her hand coming to her stomach. "Baby hasn't moved in a long time. Something just doesn't feel right."
"Do you think you're going into Labor?" Logan asked.
"I don't know," Lilly said.
"Lilly," Logan said slowly.
"I just...you know what I'm fine," Lilly said closing her book. She heaved herself up. "I'm just gonna go to bed."
"Are you sure you're ok?" Logan asked. "Is something wrong with the baby?"
"Yeah I'm sure. I don't think anything is wrong. I mean I was just at the doctor today, everything was fine," Lilly said dismissively.
Logan nodded his head. He watched as Lilly left the living room. He knew she was close to giving birth. Maybe she was in the early stages of labor. Everyone dealt with things differently. He knew if things got serious she would tell him.
So there you go. Another chapter done. Will Jared get his sisters back? What's wrong with Miles? Will Leora figure it out? Can Lucas handle his gym class bullies? Should Kyle go against Jared's wishes and involve Jace?
Some food for thought. I hope you enjoyed. Sorry for the wait. As always there is more to come.
Always
