Cherry Bomb (Big Time Rush)

Lovers

Christmas was over three months ago, but the Coco Cabana Coffee Shop was still decorated with Christmas lights, ornaments and miniature snowmen. If anyone should ask, the response would be that they never want to let Christmas end for the children that played in the Kid Corner. The truth was that Kendall was far too lazy and tired to take down the decorations. Christmas was spent at James' mansion with an unexpected visit from Mr. & Mrs. Diamond. It wasn't that Kendall was slightly annoyed at their presence, he was more annoyed that they kept picking Julian up and turning him like they were the baby inspectors. Jules resembled James very clearly. He had his hair, his nose, his eyebrows (needless to say, the Jennifers were quite pleased). And what did Julian have from Kendall? His lips, his facial structure and his ears. Neither of them could really tell whose eyes Julian had, once the child opened his eyes a bit more it looked like a strange combination of both but were most likely hazel. Julian was a mirror image of James, there was nothing to scrutinize.

And when they weren't inspecting Julian, they were pelting Kendall with left-handed compliments as they exchanged presents and at the dinner table where they tried to enjoy the Christmas dinner. Always how Kendall would be so grateful to have James as his husband, how Julian was going to be raised as a wonderful addition to the Diamond family, how they are expecting another grandchild from Kendall that will hopefully be named Charles. What was he? A baby machine? He just tried to smile pleasantly, Julian didn't need to see his father cursing out his grandparents. But at least Kendall knew they were trying to get along, and James did reconcile with them a bit. But they just needed some more time, maybe later on in the future.

But now, the season was over, the new year already hear and James' life in Hollywood was lukewarm. People were quieting down about the whole James Diamond drama, moving on with their lives. Sure, James was viewed a whole lot differently in Hollywood (Kendall didn't see the usual people that James used to hang around with the brunette now), but he was a father and he was going to provide for his family. Plus, James was pregnant and even though he wasn't as hormonally driven as Kendall was, James didn't take any crap from no one and anyone caught looking at any of the three in a way less than pleasant had to face his wrath. The fans of James seemed to be the most supportive (the girls hoping that soon when they were older and with little girls of their own that their offspring might have a chance with Julian and enter the Diamond family tree that way. . .little weirdos), and James' popularity didn't falter. Kendall got the occasional death threat from the 1% of the fanbase that was insane, but what could they do? James was his, they needed to get over it.

. . .Did he just say that? James was his?

Kendall was obviously tired, he rested his head on his arms and let out a tired yawn. He knew how his mother must have felt when she raised him and Katie, simply tired all the time but not complaining. After all, he did get to see that adorable toothless smile almost every day and he wouldn't trade that feeling for anything in the world. Kendall let out another yawn at the sound of the door ringing open and he stood up, ready to serve the newest customer until he saw that it was James and Sebastian, the butler holding the little baby carrier that held Kendall's son. The blond smiled, walking over as Sebastian settled the carrier on one of the clean tables.

"What's with the visit? I was going to pick Julian up right after work," Kendall replied, leaning in to unbuckle his child and take him into his arms. Jules squirmed a bit but nuzzled into Kendall's chest and smelled the familiar scent of his father. Sebastian smiled as Kendall stroked his son's hair.

"Master Diamond has something he would like to ask you," Sebastian said with a smile and Kendall turned to the blushing brunette that was standing beside him. Kendall gave Julian a little bounce.

"Well, what do you want to ask?" Kendall asked and Julian let out a little whimper and Kendall sighed, moving to the carrier to get a pacifier. His fingers dug though the blankets but then brushed against something that piqued his interests. The fingers wrapped around the item and he removed it from the confines of the carrier, eyes slightly widening when he saw that it was a ring box. The blond turned, Julian's hand waving at his pacifier not being in his father's hand and Kendall stared at James. ". . .What is this?"
