Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2001 10:33:38 -0800 (PST) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just 49 ***Hey Everyone!!! Okay BIG BIG News!!!! I think this or the next one might be the last installment for Josh and Just. But what I want to keep doing is write about Josh and Just in this particular scene. So I was thinking of three ideas. One is Keep writing from this point. Two is Write from a couple years from now. So it'll take place a couple years from now. Three is I can write in the distant future. So please read the closing message by me to more of the facts after you red the story. Okay??? I'm trying to pull a JM and Brian and Justin. So read the closing message by me. Josh and Just 49 "Hey Jayce! Those for Justin?" Lance asked as he saw JC climb onto the bus. JC looked down at the two dozen roses he held in his hands. Half white and the other half red. The two types of roses were mixed together sporadically and wrapped in clear cellophane as well as wrapped with a big red ribbon. "Yup. Do you think he'll like these with a big box of chocolates?" JC asked. "I think he'll like he'd appreciate the chocolates more than the flowers." Joey said looking from his laptop. "What do you mean?" JC asked in return. "Come on Shaz, He may be gay but not a woman." Joey replied. "Good point. Oh well I'll give him both. Gladly I got a five pound box of chocolate for him." JC said smiling. "Five pounds! Good god!" Lance replied in shock. "Hey I know that you three will eat at least one pound each so basically he's only getting two." JC smiled before heading into the back room. Lance and Joey shook their heads before going back to whatever they were doing before JC came aboard. They soon heard the door once again and saw Justin come through the entrance. He carried in his arms, two sets of a dozen red roses as well as a big bag full of stuff. "Hey those for Jayce?" Lane asked. "Nope. One dozen is for my Mom and one dozen is for my Cuz Kelly." Justin said taking a seat across from Lance. "Hey how's Kelly's baby coming along?" Lance asked. "She's due in three weeks. And the doctor said that whatever she's having it is healthy and happy. Justin replied beaming with joy. "That's awesome." Joey replied. "So what are you getting for JC?" Lance asked. "Well I got him a bunch a bunch of those candy hearts. But instead of those stupid sayings, I got `Justin loves Josh' written on everyone. And then I put it in this heart shaped container!" Justin said taking a heart shaped container out of the bag. "That's it?" Lance asked. "No I also got him this cool bracelet with a charm that's in the shape of a J." Justin replied. "Wow. Coo" Lance nodded. "Very much so. So are you guys coming with me back to my house when we reach Memphis?" Justin asked. "Yup. I think once we get back on the road we'll be there in maybe an hour or so." Joey responded. "So what else did you get for V-day?" Lance asked. "Well I got all of you these bags of candy cause I know we're going to need something to keep us hyper on the boring bus rides." Justin said with a smile, placing the bags on the table. Lance walked into the back room and saw JC on the couch with Justin sitting with him. JC sifted through his candy hearts while Justin took a whiff of his roses. Lance shook his head at the couple before taking a seat on the couch in front of the TV. "You guys it's not even Valentines day and you're giving each other presents already?' Lance asked. "Well but of course." JC replied. "Hey I'm about to spend the next three days with my parents. I need to get as much smooching time from JC as I can in the next half hour." Justin said as cuddled up to JC. "You two are so disgusting." Lance said shaking his head. The shrill sound of the phone entered the room. Lance reached into his pocket and read the caller ID. "Hey Brit." Lance said into the phone. "Uhm hi Lance." Britney replied softly. "What's wrong babe?" Lance asked into the phone. "Lance I have to tell you something. . ." Britney trailed off. Justin, JC, Chris, and Joey all squished on one couch while they watched Lance pace back and forth in the room screaming into the phone. He had been arguing with Britney for over twenty minutes now and had gained lots of attention. "What are they fighting about?" Chris asked. "She wants to break up with him." Justin whispered. "Oh." Chris nodded. "But Brit! Why now? Why all of a sudden? There isn't another guy is there?" Lance asked. the guys waited for a response but didn't get one. "You know what Brit? Fine! Hope you have a Happy Valentines day!" Lance said before turning off his phone and throwing it onto the other couch. He paced a round for a little bit before walking to the couch and taking a seat. He placed his elbows on his knees and buried his face into his hands before running them through his hair. "Lance?" Justin asked softly. Lance didn't respond as he sat there pondering. "Lance buddy." Justin said leaving JC's side to sit next to Lance. Justin slowly rubbed Lance's back, waiting for a response. "We broke up." Lance replied as he fell back into the couch. "Oh don't worry Lance. Don't let it get you down." JC said trying to be positive. "You wanna talk about it?" Chris asked worriedly. "Not now." Lance said as he stood up and left the room, heading towards the bunks. Justin cast a look at the guys before finally gazing toward JC. Justin looked out the window eagerly as he approached his childhood home. He quickly moved his gaze from object to object as they drove through the neighborhood. "And that's where my Dad taught me how to play baseball." Justin said pointing out a small green park. Justin looked back from the front seat to JC who was sitting in the middle set of seats in the Suburban. JC was looking out to where Justin had pointed. He nodded then looked back to his husband. "Okay we're here." The driver said as he pulled up in front of a house. Justin smiled at the familiarity of the house. He jumped out of the car and looked at it from outside. The other guys were beginning to get out of the car while picking up their duffel bags from the trunk. "Hey Hon!? You want me to take this bag of stuff right?" JC called form the trunk. "Yeah. Here let me help." Justin said as he bounced over to JC. He took his own duffel bag and the bag of stuff they had gotten for Steven and Jonathan. JC slung his bag over his shoulder while carrying two bouquets of roses. They led the rest of the guys who were following behind. Lance leading the back with a sullen look on his face. "Lance are you okay bud?" Chris asked in a soft voice. Lance looked up at him before giving him a small nod. "I'll be fine." Lance responded. Justin knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The door opened and they looked down to see Jonathan holding the door knob. "Justin!!!!" Jonathan yelled as he tried to hug Justin. Justin bent down and hugged Jonathan back. "Jonny! I missed you Buddy!" Justin ran his hand over the kids head. Jonathan took Justin's hand and pulled him inside. "Anybody Home?" Justin called. "We're coming." Lynn called back. Lynn had been staying in Tennessee with Kelly while she was pregnant. "Awww my little Justy!!" Lynn called as she came into the room. "And the pet names begin." Joey whispered to Chris. Lance sat on the couch as he fiddled with the antenna of his cell phone. He let out an exasperated sigh before falling back and tossing the phone next to him. He stared at the ceiling for a bit, trying to find all the flaws, yet even that ended with a sigh. "Lance? You okay?" JC asked in a whisper. Lance looked back and saw JC leaning against the archway leading into the foyer. Lance shifted his gaze away before nodding briskly. "Lance! You okay?" JC asked again. "I'm Fine!!" Lance replied in anger. "Than why are you yelling at me?" JC asked calmly. Lance looked at him and then down at the floor quickly. "Because! Because you. . .because." Lance said as he said placing both elbows on his knees and resting his face in his hands. JC made his way to Lance's side and took a seat. "Lance it's okay to talk about it. It's the only way you'll get over it." JC replied. "I know. It's just it hurts Josh. It hurts so bad." Lance replied softly. "I know Lance. I know. Let it out." JC said as he placed an arm around Lance's shoulder. "Josh, she said that we didn't act like a couple anymore. Yeah sure we didn't cuddle or anything every chance we get and yeah sure we didn't act like you and Justin always do but I did tell her that I loved her." Lance replied with a sorrowful expression. "I know Lance. I know." JC said as he squeezed Lance's shoulder. Kelly, Justin's cousin, waddled into the room holding a suitcase. She placed the suitcase by the door and made her way into the living room. Justin jumped up and quickly went to her side. "What's wrong Kelly? Are you going into labor? What do you need?" Justin asked quickly. "Justin the baby is not going to come for another two or three weeks. Relax." Kelly said as she made her way to the couch. She slowly made her way down to the couch, making sure she wasn't going to fall. "You stay here and just relax. Anything you need just tell me." Justin said as he took a seat next to her. "I'm pregnant Justin, not crippled." Kelly replied as she rested her hands on her expanded belly. "Sorry. So how is the little guy or girl in there?" Justin asked. "I guess whoever is in there is fine. I sometimes think I'm gonna have twins cause it feels like I'm carrying double of what should normally be carried." Kelly laughed. "That'd doozie." Justin responded. "Yeah it would be.. . " Kelly said as she trailed off. Justin looked as her expression went from jovial to an emotionless face. "What's wrong Kell?" Justin asked. "Justin, I'm scared." Kelly said softly. "Oh you don't have to be scared Kell. You're going to give birth to the most beautiful baby on earth." Justin tried to reassure. "No Justin, I'm petrified. What if I don't know anything about taking care of a baby? What am I going to do?" Kelly asked. "Don't worry Kelly, you have my mom, you have Lisa to help you. Her and My Dad are ready to help you in anyway possible. I'll always be here to help. Josh is here to help. We all got your back." Justin reassured. "Justin, can I ask you something?" Kelly asked. Justin put his arm around her shoulder and nodded. "Anything." Justin replied. Kelly turned slightly and looked at Justin. "Justin, if anything happens to me, will you and JC take care of my baby?" Kelly asked as she started to tear. "Come Kell, don't talk like that. You're gonna. . ." Justin was cut off by Kelly. "Justin! Promise me, if anything happens, will you take care of my baby?" Kelly asked. Justin looked at her and she tearing eyes. Justin gave her a small nod before moving closer and pulling her into a hug. "Yeah Kelly, I promise." Justin whispered. "Hey Justin where are you going?" Joey asked as he carried Steven. "Josh and I are going for a walk." Justin replied as he tickled Steven. Steven squealed with laughter before turning away from Justin. "Have fun." Joey said before leaving the room. Justin laced up his shoes and waited by the door. "Ready to go Sweetheart?" JC asked as he came down the stairs with Hunter on a leash. Justin gave him a nod while he opened the door. JC walked through and waited for Justin as he closed the door. JC took Justin's hand with his available hand and together they started to walk down the street. "So how's Lance doing?" Justin asked softly. JC covered his mouth as he let out a small cough. "You know he is a little broken down. He totally understands why Britney broke up with him, he just doesn't understand why now and all of a sudden." JC replied. "He must be going through hell. He really loved her." Justin responded. "Oh definitely. He loved her tremendously. But he saw that little drift they did too, he just didn't think that breaking up was the way to solve it." JC claimed. "I wonder how Britney feels right now." Justin said softly. "Well I'm guessing that she feels the same way that Lance does. It must of taken her a lot of guts to break up with Lance. Especially when she loved him so much." JC replied. "Your right, I should call her tonight huh?" Justin asked. "Yeah, just to check up on her." JC agreed. "Where do you want to go?" Justin asked as they reached an intersection. "I don't know, this is your hometown. Where should we go?" JC asked. "How about my old school?" Justin asked. "Sounds good." JC agreed. He lightly tugged on Hunter's leash to aware him that they were about to move. Hunter ran close to JC's leg and walked beside him. "Anyway. I'm kinda worried about Kelly. I keep thinking there is something she's not telling me. I mean today she started bawling because she was going to have children." Justin said to JC, tightening his grip on his husband's hand. "Well she's about to go through a lot of pain. I think that she pretty much ahs every right to be scared or nervous." JC replied with a small laugh. "But she was scared of something other than the pain. I know it. I don't know." Justin said with a small sigh. "Well she'll be okay." JC replied as he was pulled forward a but by Hunter running forward. They slowly crosses a small patch of grass that led to the front of E. E. Jeter Elementary School. Justin smiled at the familiarity of the whole school. They walked to the side of the school toward the playground around back. "You see that are right there. That's where I sprained my ankle from falling off the monkey bars." Justin said pointing out the area enclosed by a wooden border. "And that's where I gave Jamie Mitchell a bloody nose. He was being a pest that day." Justin said turning toward JC to see his face. "My Justin! A bully?? No!" JC said melodramatically, before bursting into laughter. "Well he was harassing my . . . friend." Justin said trailing off. "You mean girlfriend?" JC asked. "Yeah." Justin replied with a shy smile. "I want details." JC said eagerly. Justin led JC to the swing sets pushed him into a swing. Justin took a seat on the swing next to JC and started to swing. "Her name was Tammy Swanson, and it was in the playhouse during recess. Form that moment to about a week later she was my first girlfriend." Justin said pointing to a playhouse area set up near the monkey bars. "You have a lot of memories here huh?" JC asked. "I do. I love this place. I always wanted my children raised here. Where else can you live with your grandparents right next door?" Justin asked. "That's true. We still have to go see your grandparents." JC reminded. "Where did you want to live when we have children?" Justin asked. He let out a sudden chill when a breeze blew by. "Come here." JC said, noticing Justin's chill. `What you want me to sit on your lap or something?" Justin asked in disbelief. "Yeah we can do it." JC said as he scooted back a little on the swing. "Aww you want to keep me warm." Justin cooed as he took a seat on JC's lap. "I don't think so. You are keeping me warm." JC said cuddling up to Justin. JC wrapped both arms around Justin's waist and slowly began to rock them on the swing. "So what's your answer?" Justin asked. "To what?" JC asked in return. "About where you want to settle down when we get kids." Justin asked. "I don't know. I think it's either between Orlando, here in Memphis, or in Bowie near my parents. Either way somewhere near family. But I guess we'll have to wait until we have kids until we move huh?" JC asked softly. "Yeah I guess so." Justin replied, his eyes watching Hunter running around the tanbark area. "You know Kelly asked me today to take care of her baby if something happened to her." Justin stated. "What did you say?" JC asked placing the side of his cheek against Justin's back. "Of course I said we would. I had to ease her but I don't know if I'm ready to be a father yet. I mean I'm just getting used to being a husband. And I'm just twenty years old. I guess if we did become parents that'd be awesome, but changing diapers and feeding babies is not something I want to do during the blitz or career." Justin responded. "I agree with you, but I'm totally ready for kids. I mean I always wanted to be a young Dad, and I think that it's just awesome to have this small thing looking up to you and wanting to be like you and always smiling you know? But we'll see. We still have a while." JC said tightening his grip. He felt a cool pat on his head and looked up. A drop of water fell onto his face. "It's raining." Justin stated as he watched Hunter running toward them hurriedly. "Yeah and as much as I love being in the rain with you, I think we should jet. Just cause I know management would have a cow if two out of a five singer group turns up with colds." JC said as he stood, causing Justin to stand. Justin scooped up Hunter and started to run towards home. JC and Justin kept up their jog toward home with JC's hand on the small of Justin's back, while Justin carried the wiggling dog. They made their way to the house and ran to the doorstep. Both were drenched from the rain that was now coming down in sheets. Justin put Hunter down on the front porch and turned toward JC. JC's stood in his translucent white shirt while his jeans were dark blue with water. "I love you." Justin whispered. JC looked from the rain to Justin and smiled at Justin's lvoe struck face. "I love you more." JC whispered before leaning forward and gently tilting his head to place a soft kiss on Justin's lips. "ahem!" the loud sound caused both Justin and CJ to look toward the front door. Standing in the doorway was Chris with a goofy grin. Hunter ran into the house to protect himself from the rain while Justin and JC slowly made their way to the door. "Thanks for ruining my kiss Chris." Justin said as he walked in. "No problem." Chris smiled cheesily. It was two hours later and Justin walked downstairs after his shower. He let out a small yawn as he reached the bottom. His attention was drawn to the living room where he heard everybody laughing. Justin stepped into the living room and watched as everybody gazed toward the TV. "Hey Justin!" Joey called from his spot on the recliner. "What are you guys watching?" Justin asked. "Our wedding." JC said from the couch. Justin walked into the room and took a seat on the floor in front of JC. "Oh look how Kelly looked!" Lance said pointing toward the TV. Justin looked back at JC and smiled at how happy Lance seemed to be. "I was much thinner back then. You could barely tell I was pregnant." Kelly pointed out. "Oh my god! Look at little Steven!" Lynn cooed. "Mommy! Look that's me!" Jonathan said, pointing at the screen while looking back at Lisa. "Wow I look good." Joey said as he saw himself on the camera. "You can barely tell that your arrogant in that shot." JC joked. "And oh my look at your father!" Lynn said with a hardy laugh. "What? What about me?" Randall asked. "Lance is putting your tie on, do you see something wrong with that picture?" Lisa asked. "Oh be quiet, my boy was getting married. I was nervous." Randall huffed. "Why were you nervous?" Justin asked. "I don't know, what's with this interrogation." Randall asked, causing everyone to burst into laughter. "Oh look at Britney. She look so beautiful." Kelly cooed. Justin cast a look at Lance who continued to watch the images on the screen with a steady smile. "Oh! Look! It's Laura!" Jonathan exclaimed. "Aww look at the couple!" Lance and Joey cooed. "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah." Justin said in embarrassment. "Hi Everyone!" Paul said as he walked through the front door carrying a suitcase. "Paul!" Lynn said as she jumped up and headed for the door. "Hey Paul. Did Laura come with you?" Justin asked. "No. Laura had school. So she's staying with a friend. I had to come up here for a business trip so I thought I'd crash here instead of the hotel." Paul said happily. "Well glad you could make it." Randall said. Justin placed the toothbrush down on the counter and wiped his mouth before heading towards the door. He flicked off the lights and walked into the hall. He bumped into Lance who was on his way to the bathroom. "Hey Scoop." Justin said moving out of the way. "Hey Curls. Have a goodnight." Lance said as he walked into the bathroom. Justin watched him walk into the bathroom before slowly making his way to his room. He opened the door to his room and stepped in to see JC laying on top of the covers with a pair of pajama bottoms on. One hand lightly rubbed his abs while the other was holding a book in front of his face. Justin pushed his wire framed glasses up to the top of his nose, making his way closer to the bed. He plopped down next to his husband and peeked over JC's shoulder to see the book. "Good book?" Justin asked. "Yup." JC replied with a small nod. "What's it about?" Justin asked. "Music." JC replied. "Really? What kind?" Justin asked. "Instrumental. It's about learning to play the piano." JC replied. "But you already know how to play the piano Indy. And you play it damn good too." Justin responded slipping his head in the O that JC's arms made. JC broke the O and wrapped one arm around Justin and grabbed the book once again. "Yeah but I can always improve." JC replied, before placing a kiss on Justin's head. "That's true." Justin said placing his ear over JC's heart. Justin lightly ran his finger tips in the crevice between JC's pecs while continuing to listen to his heart beat. "Justin?" a soft voice asked. JC put his book down and they both looked toward the door. Jonathan stood with at the door with a stuffed bear in his hand. "Hey Jonny." JC said. "Can I sleep here?" Jonathan asked. "Sure brat, hop on in." Justin said, getting out of JC's arms to receive the boy. "Can I sleep with JC?" Jonathan asked. "No bro, you can't. He's reading right now." Justin told the boy. "No it's okay. I'm pretty much done reading anyways." JC said, putting his book n the end table. Jonathan laid down between Justin and JC and faced JC. "Fine steal my husband, you brat." Justin laughed. "Huh?" Jonathan asked. "Nothing. Goodnight Johnny." Justin said. "Night Justin. Night JC." Jonathan said softly. "Night Buddy. Goodnight Sweetheart." JC said as he leaned as much forward as he could to give Justin a kiss. "Goodnight Josh." Justin whispered. JC laid on his back with an arm around Jonathan who was huddled closely. Justin laid on his stomach and placed an arm over Jonathan which rested on JC's stomach. "I love you." JC whispered. "Love you too." Justin said softly. JC was startled awake by a cacophony in the hallway. He looked around the room briefly. Jonathan was asleep soundly next to him while Justin was just starting to get up from the noise. "Hey Just, what is that?" JC asked. "I dunno." Justin asked as he looked toward the door. A half nude Randall Timberlake burst open the door and turned on the lights. "Kelly's water broke!" Randall exclaimed before rushing out. Justin and JC stared in disbelief for a second. "Kelly is going to have her baby! Kelly is going to have her baby!" Justin said in disbelief. Both Justin and JC hopped out of bed and scrambled to get clothes. JC threw on a T-shirt and a jacket while Justin just threw on a T-shirt.. "What's happening?" Jonathan asked as he rubbed his eyes. "Kelly is having her baby Buddy! Get dressed we have to go to the hospital." JC said as he lifted the boy and rushed towards his room. Justin ran out of the room and bumped into Joey. "Hey Justin! Kelly's gonna give birth!!" Joey exclaimed. "I know!!" Justin exclaimed in return. Both of them ran down the stairs to the foyer. Lynn, Paul, and Lisa stood there in their pajamas and jackets with Kelly who was hyperventilating. "Okay I'll drive Dad's big car. Everyone hop in." Justin said grabbing the keys. He adjusted the glasses on his face before rushing out of the house. Everyone piled into the minivan and waited for the few slower ones. Randall hopped into the car fully clothed while Lance hopped into the front seat with Justin. "What about the other guys and the kids?" Justin asked. "JC is gonna drive them to the hospital." Lance said. With that said Justin peeled out of the driveway and rushed down the empty street. The rain lightly tapped against the window while everyone in the back seats of the car were trying to calm Kelly. "Are you okay. Did any pains come?" Lynn asked. "No. I'm just scared." Kelly said as she tried to calm herself. "Who's her coach?" Randall asked. "Me, Mom and Josh." Justin said as he hurriedly ran an empty intersection. "Justin drive carefully!" Lisa warned. "I am." Justin replied as he pulled onto a wider street. He sharply pulled into the right hand lanes. "Justin! Be careful!" Kelly yelled. Justin slowed down and carefully went the rest of the way to the hospital. He pulled into the hospital parking lot and drove to the side where the emergency entrance was. He pulled in front of the door and threw the gear into park. He hopped out of the car and tossed the keys to Lance. "Park it for me." Justin asked as he rushed to the back door. Lance ran around the car to the drivers seat. He opened the back door and let Randall get out to help Kelly step down. They rushed into the emergency room and two nurses came by and brought a wheel chair. "What's the matter?" A nurse asked. "Her water broke. She's going into labor." Lynn claimed. "Okay we'll take her. We need one of you to fill out the proper papers." The nurse explained. "I'll do it. Paul can you help me?" Randall asked. Paul nodded and walked with the nurse to the counter. "Do you know what room she'll be in?" Lisa asked. "Yes it's room 325, across from the waiting room." The nurse said pointing in the direction of the elevator. JC opened the door to the room 325 and rushed in. he quickly stopped himself from bumping into the doctor. "Let me guess. You are Josh?" The doctor asked with a small laugh. "Yeah." JC replied with a smirk before rushing past him to Justin's side. He stopped and looked back at the door which had now closed behind him. "How'd he kn. . ." JC started to ask. "Can I get you some ice chips?" Lisa asked. "Sure." Kelly replied. Kelly laid in the bed and rubbed her extruded belly rhythmically. "What did the doctor say?" JC asked. "That the pregnancy might have to be a C-section." Lynn responded. "Why?" JC asked. "Cause she's in labor two weeks earlier than she should be." Justin replied. "So why isn't the baby coming out now?" JC asked. "It'll take a while for it to come out. Maybe a couple of hours. Sometimes a couple of days." Lynn replied. "Oh." Jc replied. "Oww!" Kelly screamed. "What was that?" JC asked. "It was a contraction." Justin told him. "Justin. Why don't you take Josh outside and get him some coffee or something." Lynn told him. Justin placed his hands on JC's shoulders from behind and started to gently lead him into the waiting room. Chris, Lance, and Joey with cups of coffee in their hands. Randall and Paul paced around continually. Jonathan and Steven were asleep on a small couch. At the sight of Justin. They all stopped and looked at them with question. "She's fine." JC responded. Justin laughed at JC and made his way over to Joey's side. "Tired?" Joey asked. Justin nodded as he stared at the small, soundless TV. "Why don't you close your eyes for a few?" Joey asked. "Because I keep getting this picture of my Dad bursting into the room scantily clad." Justin said in disgust before releasing a shudder. "Hey, at least he was half nude for you. He rushed into my room buck naked." Joey said with a shudder of his own. "That means my Dad either sleeps naked or was. . ." Justin trailed off. He gazed at Joey who was gazing back. "Ewwwww." They both said. "Hey your Dad is pretty muscular for an old guy though." Chris commented. "And his son has the family goods." JC commented. "Why are we talking about Justin's Dad?" Lance asked. The five guys burst into laughter. "You guys, do you think this will ever change?" Justin asked. "What? Us talking about your Dad?" Joey asked. "No. I mean the five of us. Just sitting around goofing off." Justin stated. "I don't think it will. I mean, think about it. We've been through so much together that I don't think we could even live with out each other. I know I can't live with out Chris's stupid jokes." Lance laughed. "And I can't live without JC's need to fiddle the keyboards at 2 o'clock in the morning." Chris smirked. "And I can't live without Joey's constant clumsiness." JC added. "And I can't live with out Curly's five hour sessions in the morning trying to tame this beast." Joey said ruffling Justin's curls. "And I definitely can't live without Lance giving me the schedule ever two minutes." Justin jested. "And we definitely can't live without you five!" a voice said from behind. The five guys turned around and saw Britney and Christina face to face. The guys jumped up and cheered. "What are you guys doing here?" Justin asked. "Well I told your mom to call me when Kelly goes into labor and so she did. I get this pretty little wake-up call telling me to fly down here quickly. So I grabbed Christina and we got a private jet and flew here directly." Britney said with a smile. She took a seat between Lance and Joey. Lance rose from his seat and walked to the coffee machine. Britney suddenly frowned and looked in her lap. Christina took Lance's old seat and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "I have to talk with him." Britney said softly. Justin ran to the coffee machine and kept Lance company. While everyone sat looking confused at the happenings. "Lance you okay?" Justin asked. "Yeah it's just I was happy before she came and then I started hurting again." Lance said softly. "I know Lance. I know it hurts. But you guys have got to get over it. Because you both are one of my closest friends and I can't choose between you two. I need you both. And if you can't stay in the same room together than I'm going to have." Justin stated sadly. Lance looked up and into Justin's eyes. "I know Justin. I know. It's just. . ." Lance started. He looked away and then back at Justin. "Okay I'm gonna talk with her now." Lance said as he slowly made his way to Britney. "Hey Brit. Can I. . uhm. . .talk with you?" Lance asked. "Yeah sure Lance." Britney said as she stood and walked away with him. Justin and JC stood by Kelly's side as she sat up right on the bed breaking a slow sweat. Lynn ran to her side and started to ran a warm wash cloth over her forehead. The doctor walked into the room along with two nurses. The nurses began to prepare the room for the birth that was about to happen. "How far apart are the contractions?" The doctor asked. "Not close enough." The nurse said. "What do you mean they aren't close enough. The baby practically jumping up and down in me. He wants out!!!" Kelly screamed. Justin gripped her hand and tried to calm her. "Shhh. Kell, you're about to meet your new baby." JC reminded her. "ugh!!! I hate men! They just sit here and tell me to be quiet. Let me shove a watermelon down your throat and see ho much you like it." Kelly said in anger. "Don't mind her, she's just venting her pain. It's a normal process." The nurse told both Justin and JC. "Can't she get some drugs to help numb the pain?" Justin asked. "She could, and she has. It still hurts. Not as much but it still hurts." The doctor told them. "I see." They both nodded at the same time. "How long until she's ready?" JC asked. "Maybe twenty to thirty minutes or so. Maybe sooner." The other nurse stated. She brought out a tray of utensils and placed them on a small cart. "Hey you guys! It leaked out to the media and now there are mobs of people outside ready to greet the newest member of the Timberlake family." Chris said poking his head. "Great when we leave we're going to have to deal with the press. Whoopdidoo." JC said as he concentrated on making Kelly comfortable. "Are they still at it?" Christina asked as she pointed at Britney and Lance. Joey nodded but kept his eyes on Christina's wrist. He took her wrist in his hand and pulled back the sleeve. He saw bruises around her wrists and up her arm. "Hey Chrissy, what happened?" Joey asked concerned. "Oh nothing I just fell. I got some bad bruises. I got one on my hip right here." Christina said showing Joey a bruise on her hip. "Oh okay. I was going to say, if that stupid Marvin guy your dating was hitting you I would have me, the guys and all our body guards up on his ass." Joey laughed. Christina followed with a nervous laugh of her own. "No Marvin is fine. He's coming with me to New York." Christina stated. "Wow, are you taking him to the Grammy's?" Joey asked. "No, I'm going with one of my dancers." Christina replied. "Oh I see." Joe replied. "How about you guys? Who are you guys gonna go with?" Christina asked. "I'm bringing a friend, Lance was gonna bring Britney but I don't know anymore, JC is gonna bring Tyler, Justin is gonna take Kelly if she's up for it, and Chris is bringing Sarah." Joey summarized. "I hope Brit goes. She told me that she might not want to." Christina replied. "Well we'll have to talk to her. She ahs to come. It's the Grammy's." Joey said disappointedly. "That's what I said." Christina responded. "AHHHHHHH! I want this baby out of me now!!" Kelly screamed desperately. Justin modeled the breathing pattern while JC stroked her hand. "Okay Kelly. You're ready to give birth now." The doctor said covering his mouth with a mask. "You're almost done Kelly." JC said positively. "Shut up! I hate all men! I wish I were a lesbian!" Kelly yelled as a wave of pain went through her body. "Okay Kelly. Breath and push!" the doctor said as he urged Justin to help her breath in and out. Kelly used her muscles and tried to push. "Ahhhh!" Kelly screamed as she ended the push. Lynn was mopping up all the sweat teat poured down Kelly's face. "Alright Kelly that was a great push!" Justin coached. "Breath Kell." JC reminded the girl. "Kelly sweety you're doing great." Lynn said excitedly. "Okay Kelly. Ready! On the count of three I want you to push again." the doctor said. "One. . ." the doctor said. "Two. . ." Justin added. "Three. . ." Every said together. Kelly scrunched her face and pushed before letting out a grimace. "Alright Kelly. Two more pushes and we'll see the head. Ready? One!" the doctor said. "Two!" "Threee!" Kelly pushed once again and let out a scream at the end. "That was great. I see the head!" the doctor exclaimed. "He sees the head!" Justin said excitedly. "Okay one more push and we'll be past the worst part. Ready?" The doctor asked. Lynn stroked her head while Justin cheered her on. JC gripped her hand which tightened as she pushed more and more. "Yeah. . .I want this baby out of me." Kelly said with an exasperated sigh. "Okay three more pushes at most okay?" the doctor said. "One." "Two." "three, push!" Kelly let out another push and winced as she pushed the head through her vaginal canal. "Alright Kelly. The heads out. Two more small pushes." Justin said peeking at the opening at the end. "One." "Two." "Push!" Kelly pushed once again and let out a scream once again. "It's a boy! It's a boy!" JC exclaimed as the baby was extracted from her body. "Would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" the doctor asked. Kelly pointed at Justin exhaustedly. Justin timidly looked at Kelly and then at the baby. Justin took the scissors from the doctor and waited for the nurse to attach plugs to the umbilical cord. Justin opened the scissors and cut the cord. "Nurse, clean this baby up and get me another cloth for the other baby." the doctor said. "other baby!?!?" Kelly asked in exhaustion. "Surprise Kelly. You're having twins." The doctor said happily. Kelly looked at him with exhaustion. "twins?" Kelly asked stupefied. "Yes ma'am. For six months now I've been wanting to tell you but you were very persistent on waiting until birth." The doctor said with a gentle smile. "twins. . .?!!" Justin asked excitedly. "Yes sir." The doctor replied. "AHHHH!" Kelly screamed as she felt a surge of pain. "Come Kell. Your son wants a sibling!" JC cheered. "Justin! Justin! Remember our promise okay?" Kelly said gripping Justin's hand. Justin looked at her in a state of unconsciousness and nodded numbly. "I won't Kell." Justin stated as he gripped her hands. Justin gazed at Kelly with worry. She seemed extremely tired. She can barely keep her head from moving all over the place. Her sweat was soaked in a pile of towels on a table. Justin could her hear her heart race from where he stood. "Come on Kelly. Push on three." "One" "Two" "three" Kelly braced her self as she pushed hard. "Great Kelly. I'm seeing the head. Come on!" the doctor cheered. "One." "Two" "three" Justin kept his eyes on Kelly and watched as she pushed harder. With every push she grew more and more weaker. She physically was diminishing. All Justin could was watch. "Justin. Help us." JC snapped him out. Justin looked at JC and then at Kelly once again. "Come Kelly. Breath in. and out. In. Out. In. Out." Justin said keeping a rhythm. "One." "Two" "three" She pushed and let out an exasperated scream. "Alright Kelly. The head's out. Two more small pushes." The doctor stated. "One." "Two." "Three." Kelly pushed her final push and the baby escaped her body. "Congratulations Kelly. It's a girl." The doctor announced. Justin smiled uncontrollably as he saw the girl emerge from under the sheet. "Who will do the honors?" the doctor asked. "JC. you do it." Kelly said as she relaxed in fatigue. JC took the scissors and cut the umbilical cord where he was told to cut it. "Alright Kelly!! You did it!" Justin cheered. "Congratulations Sweety!!!" Lynn added. "Nurse! Take this baby and help me. We're having trouble with the blood flow!" the doctor said briskly. "What?" JC asked. "She's ripped her uterus walls. Get me the forceps." The doctor said. He pulled out cloths soaked with blood. The EKG machine began to beat faster and faster. "What's wrong?" Justin asked worriedly. He looked at Kelly who was looking at him with tears welling up in her eyes. "Justin. Take care of my babies." Kelly said weakly. "No Kelly You're going to take care of your own babies. You're not leaving us." Justin said with tears in his own eyes. JC went around to the other side of the bed so that he was behind Justin. "I love you all." Kelly said as the tears flowed down her cheeks. She laid her head back and looked through her barely opened eyes. "Kelly no! you haven't seen your babies yet!" Justin said fiercely. "I'll miss you Justin." Kelly said weaker that before. "No Kelly!" Justin said gripping her hands in his. "I love you all." Kelly repeated. The sound of the EKG going flat sounded through the room while the nurses rushed to Kelly's side. Justin and JC were pushed back as was Lynn. Justin stared at shock at Kelly's now lifeless body as the sound of the EKG continued in a long unending beep. Justin felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and buried his face into JC's shoulder and began to cry. JC wrapped both arms around Justin while Justin continued to sob into his scrubs. JC watched as Lynn left the room in tears. His eyes shifted to Kelly's form that laid lifelessly in the bed. The nurses lifted the sheet and placed it over Kelly. The EKG was turned off and the only sound left was the mutual sobbing of Justin, the two babies and the sniffling from himself. JC gently opened the door to the hospital room and peeked his head in. He sighed at the sight of Justin laying on the bed. The late evening light dwindled into the room from the windows that were almost covered. JC stepped into the room and closed the door behind him. He slowly walked toward the side of the bed and looked down at his sleeping husband. He gently sat at the edge of the bed looking down at Justin who rested for the first time after Kelly's passing. JC could still make out the tear stains that ran down Justin's cheeks and gently ran his fingers over them. Justin shifted a little bit before turning toward JC and opening his eyes slowly. "Josh?" Justin asked softly as he squinted from the light coming in. "Yeah Sweetheart?" JC whispered back as he moved a little bit and laid next to Justin. "Josh, Kelly is gone." Justin whispered as he moved closer to his husband. "I know Blue. I know." JC said taking Justin in his arms. "Josh, I miss her." Justin said as he buried his face into JC's shoulder. "I know Sweetheart, I miss her too." JC said looking down at Justin. Justin lifted his head from JC's chest and stared out of the window. "Justin?" JC asked. "yeah Josh?" Justin asked softly. "It's okay to cry you know?" JC whispered as he ran his lips of Justin's forehead. "I know. But Kelly wouldn't want me to." Justin said slowly trailing off. He once again buried his face into JC's chest. "Justin?" JC asked again. "Yeah Josh?" Justin responded again. "I love you." JC whispered. "I love you too." Justin replied as he tightened his grip around JC's waist. A light tapping on the door drew JC's attention away from Justin. Lance poked his head. "Hi guys." Lance said, barely audible. "Hey Lance." JC responded with a small smile. "Can we come in?" Lance asked. JC looked down at Justin who was looking at Lance. "Sure come on in." Justin said hoarsely. Lance walked in with Chris and Joey following. Christina and Britney lead the middle while the parents made up the back. Lynn walked in with Paul consoling her while Lisa and Randall walked in clutching hands. Steven and Jonathan walked in oblivious to what was happening. Lance pulled the chairs from the corners of the room and offered them to Christina, Britney, Lisa and Lynn. Chris took a seat on a small couch at one side of the room while Joey and Lance took a seat on the edge of the bed. "Justy!" Steven said as he reached up from the ground. Justin gently pulled himself away from JC and looked down at his baby brother. "Hey Stevey." Justin said with a small laugh. He lifted the boy onto the bed, placing him down in his lap. "Excuse me?" a nurse called from the door. "Hello." Lance greeted. "I have the twins here if you'd like to see them." The nurse said softly. Justin looked around at everyone else who was looking back at him. "Mom?" Justin asked Lynn. "Sure honey. I'll be fine." Lynn said with a nod. She brushed a crumple tissue over her eyes and accepted the comfort she got from Paul. "Sure we'd love to see them." Justin said weakly. The nurse came in with another nurse. Both carrying a baby. One was in a pink blanket while the other was in a baby blue one. JC took the pink bundle while Justin was handed the blue bundle. They instantly looked at the babies and smiled. "Oh and there is a letter here for a Mr. Justin Chasez." The nurse said holing up a thin white envelope. Justin kindly took it form her and waited for the nurses to leave before opening it. He instantly recognized the handwriting. He looked at Britney. "Britney can you read this for me?" Justin asked as he fiddled with the paper while trying to keep the baby in his arms protected. "Sure." Britney said rising from her seat and taking the letter. "Dearest Justin, If you are reading this letter than I have died. My mom always told me that there was a history of difficult child births in our family, and because of this I'm writing this letter. I just wanted to thank you Justin so much. You've been my strength for the past nine months. I couldn't of had this baby without you. I also want to thank Aunt Lynn for helping me so much. She will always be my second mother. I love you both unconditionally. I want to thank Uncle Randall and Aunt Lisa. You generously opened your arms and allowed me to stay with you and you considered me your daughter. I felt safe and wanted by everyone. And for that I thank you all. Please give JC a big thank you for me. He's helped me through so many problems. Whether it be on the phone or face to face, he's always as caring as can be and never turned me away. I wish both you and him a long happy life together. Thank you to Britney and Christina for treating me like one of the girls. I know it must have been hard for them to let a person they barely know hang out with them, but they took me in and treated me like an old friend of theirs. Thanks to Lance, Joey and Chris. They are all so goofy and funny and caring. I know they'll be great uncles for my baby. Now that I have moved on, please don't be sad. I'm in a place where I can't be hurt anymore. And I'll always be watching over you because I have the best seat in the house in heaven. In my last will and testament I have written that Justin and CJ be the parents of my child. My dying wish is that you two have a great life with my child. I know both of you will be great fathers and if you two aren't willing to take on that responsibility I ask that you be great uncles to him or her. I also ask it that if my child is a boy that he is names Benjamin Jeremy Timberlake Chasez. That is assuming that you two will be my child's fathers. If it is a girl, please name her Amy Ariel Timberlake Chasez. I want to thank both of you in advance for whatever decision you make. And please tell my child that I love him or her. And I'll be watching from heaven. Please don't cry over me because I truly am happy. Love always, Kelly" Justin was now tearing as he stared down at the baby boy in his arms. JC sat right next to him holding the girl in his arms. Justin looked at JC and how JC smiled over the girl sleeping in his arms. Justin looked at the boy as he whimpered a bit before trailing into silence. He leaned down and placed a small kiss on the boy's head. "Hi Benjamin." Justin whispered. Everyone looked at Justin and watched him interact with the baby. "Hey Amy." JC said to the little girl. Justin gently took both babies in his arms while JC moved behind Justin and looked over his shoulder. Justin leaned back and felt the safely of JC. "Hey you two." Justin said as they laid in his arms laying side by side. "We're you fathers." Justin whispered. Everyone in the room smiled at the announcement and watched the family on the bed. Justin, JC, Benjamin, and Amy Chasez. To Be Continued. . . **** So what should I do??? One I could either continue to write from this point and talk about Ben and Amy being infants and stuff. Two I can have it when the babies are a couple years old. Maybe like three or four. Or Three I can have it when Amy and Ben are all grown up and in High School. So let me know okay???
