Cherry Bomb (Big Time Rush)

Money, That's What I Want

Brooke and Charles Diamond were viewed as both powerful and beautiful, something that James struggled to carry on his own shoulders. And as Kendall sat in the dining room, his soon to be in-laws watching him closely, he realized that that reputation would be forced on him as well. James bit his lip, leg bouncing up and down in nerves as Sebastian brought in two glasses of Perrier and a glass of tea. James' parents took the champagne and Sebastian set the tea in front for Kendall, James too busy thinking on his parents to snap at the butler as to why he didn't get a drink.

Cause he sure needed one right now.

"I'm chasing down a painting by Marcos Del Pozzi and seeing as though the auctioning for it is in LA today, I'd figure I should stop by for a quick second and see my son who never bothered to tell me about my future grandchild and son in-law," Mrs. Diamond said before taking a sip of the bubbly drink. James blushed and gripped at the table.

"Well, we never really talk anymore-"

"And you didn't think you should tell us about something like this?" Mr. Diamond asked, eyes still on Kendall.

"N-No, I just. . .it kind of just happened."

Both of James' parents turned to face him, their eyes widening and James bit his lip. He shouldn't have said it like that. Oh crap.

"Um, what he meant was. . .we just got really excited and maybe rushed somethings," Kendall quickly blurted out and the two pairs of eyes lightened off of James.

"I'll say. You two are far too young to be starting a family and marriage."

"I'm 23, actually."

"Still too young for my tastes," Mrs. Diamond said and Kendall frowned. "What do you do for a living?"

"Um. . .I work in the coffee business."

"Really? I would have expected James to marry a model or a movie star. . .come to think of it, weren't you dating a movie star?"

"Me and him are over," James said with a frown and Mrs. Diamond shrugged.

"I see your name in all of the magazines with different people on your arm. I lose track."

Kendall bit his lip. Did James date that many people that even his own mother didn't know who the brunette was with? And they weren't some hockey playing, coffee slinging people either. They were A-Listers, models, movie stars, fashion designers, athletes, people that Kendall could never fit into a certain group any more. But it wasn't like Kendall even wanted to fit in to the Hollywood lifestyle anyways, he'd rather take the boredom and privacy of a normal life than the glitz and exposed lifestyle of a star in Hollywood any day.

"How many weeks are you?" he heard Mr. Diamond ask and Kendall smiled lightly.

"14 weeks. We have another appointment at the clinic in another three more weeks."

"Have a good idea on what the baby might be?"

The responses were simultaneous. James happily said 'A boy' while Kendall said 'A girl'. Both of them glanced at each other and sighed. Honestly, they really wasn't sure yet. It wouldn't be long until they would be able to find out, but Carlos kept on bringing the gender up. He took a little quiz in a magazine and told Kendall that the quiz stated it was going to be a boy, but Kendall didn't believe things like that. The quiz however, only added more fuel to the fire for James. Kendall saw how the nursery was slowly beginning to resemble a boy's nursery, he just hoped that if it was a girl they could repaint it. Mrs. Diamond sighed and placed the glass down.

"I just wish that you would have told us about this, James. I could have given you some advice," she said and James frowned. Advice on what? What the best nanny he should get for the child while he runs off and does his own business? Or maybe to not show up or leave halfway during one of his child's hockey games and come up with some bullshit excuse for not being there to see them play? What advice could they give on how to be good parents when James thought they were terrible? James sighed and Kendall fumbled about with the glass of tea, not even taking a sip of it. Mrs. Diamond smiled lightly. "Well, I was figuring that I could take you to the auction, just like old times."
