Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2001 20:50:27 -0700 (PDT) From: AJ Shukla Subject: Josh and Just 52 **** Okay everyone! I'M SO SORRY! I know this is later than I usual But I've been busy. I've had TONS to do. Seriously I savored the ten minutes a day when I had time to write a little more of each chapters. But I finished. IN this chapter not a lot about Christina is mentioned since she is still in the dormant stage But she will probably be the focus of the next chapter along with Justin and JC and maybe I'll throw some of Cole in there. We'll see. And I would like to congratulate someone. Congrats to my buddy Cy on getting married. Him and his hubby are now taking it easy in the hands of matrimony. So congrats. I still want pics from the honeymoon! Well without further adieu, Here it is. Josh and Just 52 "Welcome to another edition of MTV Cribs! Today we check out the luxurious family pad for the heartthrobs of one of the hottest boybands today. We'll sneak a peak at their state of the art studio and extravagant swimming pool." "Hi MTV! Welcome to my crib!" Justin said opening the door into the large commodious foyer. Upon entrance, you're faced with a large staircase a little to one side that leads to the second floor. If you look up the ceiling is that of the second floor and is made of a glass skylight around a small island of the ceiling where a modest chandelier hung illuminating the entire foyer. Next to the staircase was a polished marble table that held a piece of artwork. "This right here is a sculpture my brother-in-law made for me and JC." Justin pointed to the statue. It had two golden bands that coiled around each other forming a large double helix. Coming out of the center of the helix were five wires bent into hearts at the end. Also coming out of the helix were two silver bands. "He said that the two gold bands are myself and JC. And the two silver ones are our twins. But I just think it looks really cool." Justin shrugged. He moved onto through on of the two portals leading into two different sections of the house. He walked through the portal on the right which lead into the living room. "This is our living room. It was funny because in our last house the right side of the first floor was kinda the same layout and we liked it. So when we moved into this new house we wanted the living room lay out to be the same. But we liked the new things. Like we now have an alcove by the bay window looking out into the yard. And we have the entertainment system in this cabinet here. It's cool because the system comes down from the ceiling." Justin said pressing a button. With that a screen came down from the ceiling as well as a projector. "And if we want we can turn the lights off and press this button and the ceiling's fiber optic lights turn on making it look like thousands of stars." Justin said. "Now JC and I were really adamant that we have a lot of fireplaces in the house. We love fireplaces. So we have four. The first one is here in the living room. And you'll see throughout the house we have portraits above the fire places. This one is of the N Sync. It's us five guys just hanging about like we always do." Justin commented. He moved on to the door that lead into the office. "This is our office. This is where I come to get a bunch of paper work done and this is where JC comes to do some writing and stuff. As you can see we have a baby grand piano in here so JC can write his music." Justin said. If you looked around the room you would see an polished oak desk with a computer set up as well as various picture frames. It faced a fireplace as it did in the last house. The room was much more spacious than that of the last house, allowing more room for the piano which sat near the large window of the room. One wall was covered with awards which fit perfectly with the case that housed awards that couldn't be hung. "This is our awards wall. Everything we win goes up here. This case right here is for trophies and other sorts of things. I mean everything we were ever given. This little beanie baby on a piece of wood is a trophy that my little brother gave me and JC for being the best big brothers. So that's right up against the MTV moon man and Grammy awards." Justin commented. "Now above this fire place we have a portrait of our twins. That's Ben and that's Amy." Justin said pointing out the two jovial babies in the painting. "This was my brother-in-laws christening gift for his niece and nephew. We keep it in here to remind us of them when we don't see them. We also have various pictures of family and friends on the mantle. Like pictures of Britney, and Christina. The guys, my parents, JC's parents, the twins' godfather, and this is one with our dogs." Justin said quickly passing through all the frames on the mantle. "Now we'll move into the studio. This is where JC does all his producing and stuff. He often times helps people in the studio but they end up paying an enormous amount of money. So we had one made. This is where all the mixing boards and all that is." Justin said opening a door to the studio. Inside was a long narrow room with boards with buttons and levers down it. JC sat in front of the board listening to something intently. "And there is JC!" Justin added. JC looked up and waved. "Hi everyone." JC said. "Now we also have a recording booth thing." Justin said pointing at the glass wall that looked into a room that housed stools and five microphones with head phones and music stands. "So if we need to record something we can easily go down and record something and not worry about writing it down and waiting to get into the studio." Justin added. "Now this is just the formal dining room. This is where we have dinners and stuff with all the important people JC works with or my workers at JTF. Now through this door is the kitchen. Most celebrities don't use their kitchens, but we do. JC is a such a good cook, so he's the one usually cooking. And all." Justin said. The kitchen was an open area with a counter wrapping around it. The center had an island where there was a chopping block. Above the island hung pots and pans on a rack. The counter stops allowing a walkway to the other side of the counter where there was another table in the corner of the room which looked out into the backyard. "Now I know you like snooping in peoples pantries so we'll go over to this door right here." Justin said, walking to a door. He opened the door and looked inside himself. "We don't have too much stuff since we just moved and all. But we have the regular junk food. The guys come over here a lot so we have all of their junk food. Nacho Cheese Doritos for Joey, Ruffles Potato Chips for Chris. and Pringles for Lance. We have cans of formula and we're starting to stock up on baby food. But usually it's JC eating the baby food when he's working. We have the dog food. And we have Cheese Its, gotta have those." Justin said. "We also have to have our cereal. I will not get out of bed until JC tells me that we have cereal downstairs. Sometimes he's nice enough to bring it up to me." Justin added. "Now this is a smaller dining room for everyday use. You can see some small pieces of artwork on the wall. One is made by my brother-in-law and then the other one is from my little brother. Both pictures are of me and JC. Can't you tell?" Justin asked. both pictures on the wall hung right next to each other. One was a very intricate and detailed sketch of Justin and JC sitting in a yard surrounded by red, orange, and yellow maple leaves. The other picture is that of two stick figures standing on a straight line that was red. Written in ragged letters the words `Justin and JC' were written at the top showing incredible penmanship for a toddler. "Now why don't we head upstairs to the bedrooms." Justin suggested. "We have six rooms on the second floor." Justin said making his way to the top of the stairs. When he reached the top of the stairs he stepped into a large open area. The area resembled that of a living room. There was a fire place, sofas and couches, and a rocking chair, and a large wooden wardrobe. The area was right in front of a large window that over looked the back yard. "This is what I like to call the family area. When we were looking at houses, I told JC that we needed to have some place that was intimate for all of us to hang out in. And when we found this house this is one of the first things I fell in love with. This is the room where we'll put a Christmas tree and stuff. Basically it's a place to relax and cozy up by the fire. This is the third fireplace in our house. And above it we have the third portrait." Justin said pointing to the painting. It was of three dogs. Leo, Ozzie and Hunter were caught in different actions. Leo was snoozing on a giant bed, while Ozzie was playing with a ratty old stuffed animal. Little Hunter sat in someone's lap while receiving a scratch behind his ears. "That's of our dogs. You'll see them running around sooner or later. Now let's move on to the rooms." Justin said walking down the right side of the hallway. "Now the guys sleep over here often, especially before we go on tour because we're closer to the studios and airports. So each guy of N Sync got their own room and we let them decorate it however they wanted. So they all have names. This is Lance's room." Justin said pointing to the door that had a small wooden sign reading `Lance's Domain.' They walked in and found a room with a bed and a small wooden desk. On the wall Lance had pictures of his family as well as the rest of the guys. "He's a very simple guy. So he doesn't have much. But he did add pictures of his family. This picture is of his mother, and let me tell you she makes the best strawberry jam ever! Whenever we go to Mississippi, I always drop by to see her and she always give me a month supply of jam, sadly it only lasts for about three days." Justin said. He moved on to another picture. "This picture is of his sister Stacy, and her husband Ford. They are the coolest people. Cooler than Lance. And rumor has it Stacy might be pregnant so we're happy for them and soon to be Uncle Lance. And this picture is of us guys with Britney and Christina. We all went camping one weekend and got rained on. So that was a Kodak moment. There are a lot more pics as you can see but we'll move on to Joey's room." Justin directed as he walked across the hall to a room with a wooden Superman insignia. Justin opened the door to reveal a room with just a bed and a bookcase. The bed was covered with Superman sheets, the wall had Superman posters, as well as other framed pictures. "This is Joey's little Superman place. Trust me when I say that this is just part of his Superman stuff. You should check out his house. That's Superman everywhere." Justin said. "He has pictures too. His family and of us and all that. Same old stuff." Justin said. "Now let's move to Chris's room." Justin said walking toward a room next to Lance's. The door read `FuMan Land.' "This is Chris's little nook. And as you can see it's messy just like he is." Justin said showing the room that was entirely unmade. The bed was a disaster, the small desk had papers all over it and a small amount of clothes covered the floor. "This room is a disaster, let's get out before our eyes start hurting." Justin said closing the door. "Down the hall from the guys' rooms is a bathroom, not much exciting in there. But this room is a real fun one." Justin said stepping into a room. The room was the twins' room. The room was a spacious area with a bright white paned window letting light flow through. Two cribs were set up next to each other. Also in the room was a changing table, a rocking chair, and a sofa. "this is where my children sleep now if you follow me." Justin said leading them into a door that was in the room. It led directly to a bathroom with another door on the other side of the room. "This is the bathroom the kids will use when they grow older and please continue to follow me." Justin said walking through the other door. He walked into another room, yet this one held toys and books, and stuffed animals. Inside the room Britney and Heather sat on the floor as the babies laid flat on their stomach, occasionally propping themselves up on a stuffed animal. "This is the children's play room. Now we purposely chose to have the two rooms connected by a bathroom. We figured that as the twins grow older they'll want to have their own room. So we can turn the room that they shared into one child's room, and the play room into the other child's. And they'll have their own personal bathroom they can share so if they have to make a bathroom run it's not that far." Justin explained. "Say hi to Britney and Heather." Justin said. Both Britney and Heather waved. "Now everyone knows Britney, but the world does not know Heather. Heather is my sister-in-law. And she's here to bug JC." Justin said with a Cheshire-cat grin. "Now this is my favorite piece in the room. My grandparents got this made for Ben and Amy for their christening." Justin said pointing to two silver plaques. "Engraved onto these plaques is our children's birth certificates word for word. So thank you Grandpa and Grandma Timberlake." Justin smiled. "We also have a bunch of drawings and sketches my brother-in-law made but we haven't placed them up yet. Now that I think about it this house is like a gallery of his work. Oh well as long as it's good I don't mind." Justin said. He led them to a door that led out into the hallway. "Okay and I'll show you the last rooms you haven't seen yet. The master bedroom and the master bath." Justin snickered as he opened the room into a spacious whitely decorated room. Upon entrance, one will face a giant window with an alcove. Giant white pillows made the alcove a fluffy bed. A white fake fur rug covered the space between the alcove and the giant king sized four post bed. The dark brown-red mahogany posts held back the ethereal white curtains that were tied to them by pearl white ribbons. There were eight giant pillows at the head of the bed which Leo snoozed on lightly. There were two wooden end tables on either side of the bed, perfectly matching the bed. Across from the bed was a big screen TV. In the corner of the room opposite from where the bed is, there was a small fireplace surrounded by a small marble mantle. Above it was a portrait of a large number of people standing and looking at one thing as if it were a picture. "Okay this is our room. And as you can see not only do me and JC use this room, but so do our dogs. Leo! Come here Leo!" Justin called. The dog lifted his head and ran to Justin's side. "The guys got Leo for us when JC and I moved into our last house. Anyways this is our room. This is our bed. This room was actually designed and decorated by Britney and Christina. And my mom helped a bit. Then my Dad and father-in-law came in and got rid of everything girly. So basically we were sent out of town for maybe a week and when we came back, this room has been inspected and approved by five people." Justin said showing them the whole room. "Now this is where the last fireplace in the house is. And above it is the last portrait by my brother-in-law. It's a portrait of our entire family. So you can see me and JC right there with the kids. And there are our the kids godparents, there is my in-laws and my side of the family. All four parents and everything. That's my grandparents. And that's JC's grandma. And that's his grandpa. There are our dogs. There's Uncle Chris. Uncle Joey and Uncle Lance. Aunt Britney and Aunt Christina. So that's our entire family. And as you can see Tyler, gave himself the best spot in the picture." Justin said pointing to him in the center of the painting. "Okay well let's move onto the fireplace. This fire place is the only one in the house that is controlled by remote control. You know when sometimes you want to snuggle with the special someone in front of a fireplace, well you don't want to lose the mood by dealing with logs and newspaper and stuff. So we have a gas fireplace that you can turn on with the press of a button." Justin said tossing a remote onto the bed. "Now let's walk this way." Justin said leading into the small hallway that was a closet which led into the master bathroom. "This is my walkthrough closet. You can easily tell which side of this closet is mine and which side is JC's. Mine is with all the baby blue stuff and his side has all the sexy clothes." Justin snickered. "This is a very big closet but half these clothes I didn't buy. They were given to us, some of the perks of shooting videos and stuff." Justin said. "This is JC's leather jacket that he loves so much. And that's one of the reasons it's on my side of the closet. I wear it all the time. In fact I'm the only one that he lets wear it. He doesn't even let his mother touch it. I'm special!" Justin said taking JC's jacket off a hanger and slipping it on. "Looks good on me huh?" Justin asked. "It looks better on JC." Justin added. He moved toward the bathroom and stepped into the commodious area. The large bathroom stood out with it's gold fixtures and marble floors and countertops. "This is the bathroom. As you can see we went a little overboard on this just because this is where JC and I come to relax from the day. As you can see we have the shower and the large hot tub and bathtub in one. JC is more of a bath tub kind a guy. He likes to just hang out while listening to music or going over music and stuff." Justin said walking to the raised tub which required a climb of a stair to reach the area in which the tub rested in the center. Around the tub were candles of various sizes as well as a sleek chrome stereo system taking up the space that a laptop would take up. "Now this is JC's bathtub. It's cool cause it has the jets and the hot tub ability and it has enough space for two people with ample room left over." Justin said suggestively. He released a slight laugh before moving to the shower. The shower was as big as a standard walk-in closet. The "room" was made of three walls, the fourth being the doorway made of slightly frosted glass. Justin stepped inside the shower and walked around as well as pointing to the gold fixtures that protruded from the wall. "As you can see there are two shower heads. I just like the feeling of double the shower. It's relaxing. It's a massage in itself, when JC isn't around that is." Justin snickered. "I think that's pretty much it for our bathroom. Let's move to the backyard!" Justin said rubbing his hands together. The back yard looked as if it was big enough to fit another house. A yard of green grass took up the first half of the backyard. The green landscape rose on one side of the yard to form a small hill which was crowned with two trees. Between the two trees, a wide cloth hammock hung and swayed with the wind. Also on the green lawn was a small gazebo with patio furniture. The back half of the yard was the entire pool. The large pool was multileveled. The shallow end of the pool was closest to the house. The hot tub was raised above the pool and surrounded by stones, so that the escaping water from the Jacuzzi flowed like a waterfall into the pool. As the pool got deeper the more foliage surrounded the pool. At the back of the pool was another level of water which served as a small intimate pool which the water flowed from into the bigger pool as well. If one were to pass through the waterfall, there would be a small quiet area shallow area of water with submerged stairs. "This is our backyard. Now this is where we do most of our hanging out over the summer. JC and I spend many summer evenings slaying lazily on the hammock. In fact Ben loves sitting on the hammock. He falls a sleep instantly when he gets on that thing." Justin pointed. "And this is the gazebo. When we all hand out here that is pretty much where we just hang out and eat and stuff. I think it's ridiculous to have a gazebo in the backyard but JC liked it so I went along with it." Justin added. "Now the pool is cool. We have two levels of pools. All open aired of course. The first level is the main pool. And the second level consists of two areas. One's right here off to the side a bit which is the hot tub. You basically walk up there steps and into the hot tub. And it's cool cause the water continues to flow up there so that water is pushed out down the stone wall. As you can see the stones looks as if they were randomly placed which is what we wanted. We wanted sort of a jungley feeling to it. Now the second area is that giant raised pool back there and you climb that stairs case on the side. And you can see that the water also flows into this main pool. It looks like a cascading waterfall which we love. Now if you actually swim under that waterfall there is a small alcove where you can hang out. And we also have that stone waterslide from that top level coming down into the main pool. So the kids are happy. Anyways that's the backyard." Justin said. "And you've basically taken a glimpse into our house and now it's time to leave. Sorry to be cliché but Bye, Bye, Bye!" Justin concluded. The afternoon sun rose over the cloudless sky, rose over the city, rose over the Chasez household. Inside the heat was bearable and slightly cooler than outside. JC laid on the couch in a T-shirt and a pair of shorts with his head slightly turned toward the TV. His hands would probably have been placed around a remote but this time he held Amy instead. The infant girl slept soundly on his chest. He cheek pressed against his covered chest while her little hands braced herself as she moved up and down with every breathe he took. JC craned his neck down a bit and looked at his sleeping daughter before returning his eyes back to the TV once again. He let out a small sigh wondering where the rest of the guys were. He had left them an hour ago at practice for the concert to come home because of Amy's slight cough. Just then Amy let out a slight cough before shifting a bit on JC's chest. Eventually she cuddled back up to her father's chest and went back to sleep. JC lowered his lips to the top of her head and gave her a small kiss. "Okay okay! Watch it!" Joey cried as the front door burst open. "When did you get so freaking heavy?" Justin yelled making a struggling sound. "Will you stop wiggling! We'll drop you!" Lance yelled. "I can't help it. I'm ticklish! Owww!" Joey said as they ran into the wall. "What are you guys doing?' JC asked softly. Soon Justin, Lance, and Chris came into the living room carrying Joey who had his leg extended. "Joey hurt his leg after you left. We had to take him to the hospital." Justin said moving his way to the recliner. He moved around a bit as the three of them brought Joey into it easily. "What?? Right before our tour??" JC asked softly. "Yeah he had to have four staples put into his leg." Lance said as he ran his fingers through his jet black hair. "Where is Ben?" JC asked. "He's right here." Heather said as she walked in with Ben in her arms. Ben instantly reached out when he caught sight of Justin. Justin snickered and grinned for his son as he scooped him out of his sister- in-law's arms. "Hey Champ." Justin said taking Ben into his arms. Ben's little hands clutched onto Justin's shirt as he looked around the room. "Oh Hey! Justin come here!" JC beckoned. Justin walked over to JC and leaned down with the questioning look. "I love you." JC said before kissing Justin gingerly. Justin smiled and pecked JC on the forehead before leaning up again. "How's Amy feeling?" Heather asked. "She still feels a little warm and she's slept most of the afternoon." JC said, craning his head down to look at his sleeping daughter once again. "I think we should call Cole." Justin said while taking a seat and placing Ben in his lap. Ben sat up as he rested his back against his father's stomach. "Well I talked with Wade and he said he can re choreograph some of the moves with Darren. So the dancing won't be that bad." Chris said scratching his head. "This sucks!!" Joey moped as he folded his arms over his chest as if he was a four year-old. "Lance when are you dying your hair back again?" Justin asked. "Not until Britney agrees to be my girlfriend again." Lance replied. "Hey Joey how are you going to move around?" JC asked. "Oh I can use crutches, it's just fun to have the guys carry me around." Joey replied. "What? We didn't have to carry you here?" Justin asked. He picked up a pillow and threw it at Joey. Joey was hit by three more pillows after Justin's. He looked in the direction of the fourth and saw that it came from JC. "What are you throwing a pillow at me for? You stayed here all afternoon. You didn't have to carry me." Joey stated. "Yeah but I didn't want to feel left out." JC grinned. "You suck!" Joey said moping once again. Britney stopped and gazed into the window of the small boutique, causally gazing over the clothes. "Nothing good here." Britney said as she continued to walk alongside Christina and Sarah. Britney took out her hair tie and placed it around her wrist, She began to bring her hair back into a messy ponytail. She tied her hair back before looking in the shops once again. "Hey do you wanna get some make-up cause I'm running out." Christina asked. "Are the bruises going away yet?" Britney asked. "Yeah they are going down but you can still see them." Christina said sullenly. "That guy deserves the death penalty." Sarah said switching the hand she held her bag with. "Yeah but I miss him." Christina said inaudibly. "What did you say?" Britney asked as she slipped on her sunglasses. "Nothing." Christina said as she stopped and looked into a window at her puffy cheeks.She lightly ran a hand over her cheek. "Oh hey there is a cute baby shop up ahead. I want to get the twins something cute that matches." Sarah suggested. "Yeah let's go." Christina said as she ran off to the store leaving Britney and Sarah to run after her. "Okay Britney you have to help me." Justin said as he struggled to pick up all the toys off the ground while keeping the phone on his shoulder. "No No! My sister and her friends are having a slumber party at our house again. And I don't want to be alone. Plus I haven't been to the store yet." Justin said as he tossed all the toys into the master bedroom. "Oww!" JC said as he came out of the bedroom rubbing his stomach. His shirtless physique walked into the hallway and confronted Justin. Justin hurriedly placed a kiss on JC's lips before going back to his conversation on the phone. "Oh you are! Can you drop by the supermarket and all head here. We're going to need all three of you and I have to tell Sarah something." Justin added. "Okay I'll see you guys later than. Thanks. Bye!" Justin said. "Hey Blue, why are you so busy? Come here." JC coaxed slipping his fingers into the waistband. He teasingly brought it away from his body and let go sending a snapping sound. "Damn you're sexy." Justin said as he moved toward his husband. He gave him a deep kiss before turning and running downstairs to do more chores. JC stood there in shock. He snapped out of his senses and ran down the stairs after Justin. "Just!!! Sweetheart! Relax!!" JC said shuffling down the stairs to chase after Justin. "How can I relax My sister's friends are coming over. We have to make this house Straight!" Justin said removing pictures of him and JC. "Sweetheart! We're out! Do you not remember going on Oprah to tell the entire world that we are married?" JC asked softly. Justin stopped and looked at JC before putting the pictures back onto the mantle. "Oh yeah." Justin said softly. "Okay so what's the deal for tonight?" JC asked wrapping his arms around Justin's neck from behind. "Well Brit, Chrissy, and Sarah are coming. I think Danny and Paul are coming with Danny's little brother. And maybe the guys. I think Lance is coming for sure." Justin replied as he turned to face JC and gave him a little peck on his perfect lips. "What time is everyone coming?" JC asked seductively as he started to suckle on Justin's ear. "About. . ." Justin was interrupted with the sound of the doorbell. The both looked toward the motionless door and sighed. "Now." They both muttered as they let go of each other. The grudgingly made their way to the door, JC still half nude. Justin opened the door and saw Laura waiting there patiently. "Josh put on a shirt! How do you expect my friends to concentrate on the movie if you're walking around shirtless?" Laura said as she whisked past them into their house. "Hello Laura. I love you too." Justin said to the empty doorway before closing it. There was a sudden knock on the door. Justin let out another sigh before opening it expecting another teenage girl. His welcoming face stiffened when he saw Stacy on the other side of the door. "Oh it's you! Is Joshy here?" Stacy asked. Justin rolled his eyes before closing the door in her face. It was followed by an immediate incessant knocking on the door. "Should I let her in?" Justin asked. "Yeah, I invited her." JC said to Justin. "You invited her?!" Justin asked with a disgusted expression. "Yeah I need her to lay down vocals." JC said shyly. "Thanks for telling me that the one person that I hate on the planet is coming to my house." Justin said as he walked away from the foyer and into the kitchen. "Justin? JC said you were in here?" Danny said walking into the kitchen. He walked into the kitchen and found Justin feeding Ben and Amy. "Hey Danny." Justin said softly. "What's up? I'm sensing some tension between the husbands today." Danny said as she walked over to the counter near Justin. "There is." Justin said as he fed both babies who had half the spoonfuls of apple sauce on their faces. Both were giggling while their father fed them. "Is it because of that girl who's following him around?" Danny asked. "Basically." Justin responded. "Hey Justin. Did you know there some girl chasing JC around." Paul walked into the kitchen followed by a fifteen year old boy. "Yeah I know." Justin said sullenly as he gently wiped both babies' faces and walking to the sink. "You want to talk about it?" Danny inquired. "He knows how much I hate her and yet he continues to invite her to came over to our house." Justin blurted out. He soon caught sight of the boy. "I almost forgot. This is my brother, Drew. Drew this is Justin." Danny introduced. "Hi nice to meet you." Justin said putting his hand out. "Nice to meet you too." Drew replied, staying at Paul's side. "Sorry to be all psycho. It's just that girl is such a. . .such a. . ." Justin searched for the word. "Bitch." Drew supplied. "Yes!! Thank you!" Justin said. Justin walked to the front door as he heard it ring for what seemed like the hundredth time. "I got it Justin. Go back upstairs!" Laura cried. Justin back away with a shocked expression. "Excuse me for being a nice older brother." Justin snickered as he walked into the living room and straight into the den. He rolled his eyes when he saw JC at the desk. "Hey ." JC said as he went over something on the desk. "Hey." Justin said as he rushed past him and took a small folder off the desk. "Hey! Joshy! Are we done yet?" Stacy asked as she came out of the studio. "Oh it's you." Justin said as he started to walk out the room. "Wait! Justin hold on." JC said as he jumped out of his chair and rushed to Justin who stood in the doorway of the den. He grabbed Justin by the face and placed a passionate kiss on his lips. The deep sensuous kiss stopped all action in the den as well as in the living room where the girls all stared at the embracing couple. "I just wanted to say I love you." JC whispered. "That's sweet. But you're still sleeping on the couch upstairs." Justin said before exiting the room. He walked into the living room to see the girls watching a Backstreet Boys In Concert Special. "I know you girls aren't watching our arch rivals in my house." Justin joked. "Isn't Howie cute???" one girl said. "JC's better." Justin added. "No I like AJ." Another girl said. "Brian is the cutest." Laura said with Amy giggling on the floor in front of her. "I'm telling you JC is the cutest." Justin said. "Well of course, cause you're married to him. You have to say that." Another girl claimed. "Not true. I want to say it. Have you ever seen a guy with such perfect lips before? And have you seen the way his butt looks in those pants he dances in?" Justin sighed. "You're weird Justin." Laura complained. "Yeah well give me my child." Justin said reaching out for her. Amy reached out and giggled when seeing her father. "There's Daddy's lil girl." Justin said taking Amy into his arms. Amy clutched onto his shirt and looked curiously around. "Okay don't make too much of a mess of my living room." Justin said as he took his daughter upstairs. He stepped off the stairs into the open area overlooking the backyard. "Did you ever notice how stupid BSB's music videos are? All they do is stand there in some warehouse, or some airport, or some stupid studio." Justin complained as he took a seat on the couch in which Danny and Paul were cuddling. "Well they can't always be like N Sync." Christina smiled. "Speaking of N Sync. Where are they?" Britney asked. "Well Chris is on his way over cause Sarah's here. Lance is meeting with our management because of his little hair fiasco. And Joey is god knows where." Justin said adjusting Amy in his arms. "So what's this big news you wanted to tell me?" Sarah asked as she played with Ben who laid on his back in front of her. "Oh well I guess JC and I wanted to tell you together, but since he's a little unattainable tonight I'll tell you. We want you to be our childcare giver while on tour. We thought that you could be with Chris and help us out at the same time. And JC and I pay really well." Justin snickered. "Really?? Wow! Sure I will. How can I resist this baby boy's blue eyes?" Sarah said as she tickled Ben. "Good cause we go on tour in like a week." Justin grinned. "Me and two beautiful babies. Sounds good." Sarah smiled. "Oh you'll have someone else to work with so that you don't have to do the whole twin thing on your own. Who ever it may be will basically take care of the kids while we are stationary in Orlando and on tour." Justin said letting out a small yawn. "So who'd you pick?" Danny asked from the couch. "No one yet. They have to get screened by Jive first and then by Johnny. And finally by us." Justin informed. He watched as Drew played with Hunter silently. "Hey Drew. If you want to go downstairs and hang out with the girls you can." Justin told him. "No thank you." Drew replied. "He's not into Backstreet Boys." Danny announced. "Yeah me neither." Justin added. "Are you guys gonna stay for dinner?" Britney asked. "Depends on what you're having." Paul pondered. "Well since there is a giant girl fest downstairs I'm leaning towards pizza." Justin claimed. JC sat at his desk still as he tried to finish as much as he could before going upstairs and apologizing profusely to Justin. He looked down at the words on the paper that seemed to blur in the light coming from the bulb on the ceiling. He sat back in his chair and stared at the portrait of Ben and Amy before him. He gently let out a sigh before looking back to his work. He picked up the phone and pressed a single button which automatically dialed the number. "Hello?" the voice asked. "Hey Scoop." JC said into the phone. "Hey Jayce. What's up?" Lance inquired. "Well busy with Wild Orchid stuff. Can I ask you something really quickly?" JC asked. "Sure. Shoot." Lance agreed. "Wild Orchid has some events that I'm required top be at. The only way to get out of them is if N Sync has something so can you give me important dates for the next week?" JC asked. "Okay, well you know a week from now we're going to be on tour and that happens in Jacksonville. But we have sound checks and rehearsal the day before and the day of. Now two days before the concert we have to go to the Rosie O'Donnell show. And three days before the concert you are basically going to be cooped up, trying to find a Nanny. So basically you have the next two days free." Lance said listing everything off. "Perfect! I can miss all the events." JC said happily. "Cool. Hey I'm in your drive way right now. Open the door." Lance said into his cell phone. "Okay be right there." JC replied. The both hung up their phones. Lance slipped his cell phone into his jacket pocket and turned off the ignition to his car. He started to get out of his car, but stopped when seeing his reflection in the mirror. He ran his fingers through his jet black spikes and frowned a bit. He got out of the car and arrived at the door in time for JC to open it up for him. "Hey Lance." JC said as he moved aside to let him in. Lance walked into the house and into the foyer. He immediately heard gasps from the living room. He turned and saw a group of girls staring at him. "What?" Lance asked. "Lance why haven't you changed your hair back?" Laura asked. "I dunno." Lance shrugged. "Sorry ladies but he's wanted upstairs. By girls." JC said taking a hold of Lance's arm ad pulling him up the steps. "Hey Lance." Justin said laying on his back with Amy laying on his chest, snoozing the night away. "Hey everyone. Hey Paul. Hey Danny. Nice seeing you guys again." Lance said. "Hey Lance." Britney said giving him a small smile. "Hey Brit." Lance replied with an equal smile. "Okay, well I think I'll put the babies to bed now." JC said as he walked over to Justin and gently lifted Amy from him. "Hey Britney can you bring Ben?" JC asked. "Sure." Britney said lifting Ben who had fallen asleep on the floor with Hunter snoozing by his side. As Britney lifted Ben. Hunter arose and growled slightly before recognizing Britney and laying back down. "You know what, Brit let me do it." Christina said as she gently took the baby from Britney's arms. Christina and JC left the room. "Hey I haven't showed you guys the upstairs rooms yet huh?" Justin questioned Danny and Paul. They both shook their head. "Then let me show you." Justin said as he stood and led Danny, Paul, and Drew down the hall. "Hey wait! I haven't seen the rooms either!" Sarah yelled as she chased behind them. the entire room was empty except for Britney and Lance. "So. . ." Lance said as he took a seat on the empty couch. "So." Britney also said. "Listen Brit. . ." "Hey Lance I. . ." Britney trailed off when she heard Lance speak at the same time. "You first." Lance offered. "No you." Britney retorted. "No I insist." Lance said, continuing his Southern Gentlemen attitude. "I just wanted to ask you, did you really dye your hair for me?" Britney asked walking up to Lance and running her hand through his dark spikes. "Well. . . uhm. . .yeah." Lance stammered. "Why?" Britney asked with a whimsical look. "Well because Christina said you liked guys with dark hair. She pointed out that I was your only blond boyfriend." Lance said. "And so. . ." Britney trailed off. "So I dyed my hair. I was going to go with a brown but than I thought that black would look better but I guess I was wr. . ." Lance was stopped when Britney placed both hands on his cheeks and leaned forward to give him a deep kiss. Britney leaned back from the kiss and found Lance still trying to kiss her, only to be left kissing the air. Britney giggled a bit at Lance's expression before waiting for the emerald green eyes to appear. Lance opened his eyes and gazed down at Britney who stared at him with a loving grin. "So you like my hair?" Lance question quizzically. Britney stared at him with a whimsical look. "No. No one could like your hair." Britney said trying to hold back her answer. Lance looked down with an ashamed look. "Hey but I like the rest of you." Britney smiled. They both leaned in and shared a tender kiss. "Hello and Welcome to the Rosie O'Donnell show. Today we have an N SYNC hour!" Rosie said excitedly. The audience full of teenagers and their parents erupted into applause. "To begin this hour we'll start with two very brave members of N Sync who are newly weds. They were married in December and soon became a family in February. So please welcome Justin and JC Chasez." Rosie announced, sending the crowd to applause furiously once again. Justin and JC walked out of the doorway clutching hands. They both blushed at the applause they were receiving. Justin turned and whispered something to JC which made him grin and nod a bit. Eventually they both took a seat in the chairs nearest Rosie's desk. Their hands were still grasping one another as they waited eagerly for the applause to die down. Rosie stared at them with a grin. "Look at you two! You are so cute!!" Rosie said instantly embarrassing Justin, causing the room to laugh. "Thank you." Justin and JC both said sheepishly. "Now tell me about how you two first got started." Rosie requested. Justin turned to JC, giving him a questioning look before turning back to Rosie. "Well we first met back on a TV show, MMC. And we became really close friends. In fact he became my best friend." Justin mentioned giving JC a small glance which made the audience coo, causing JC to grin uncontrollably. He gave Justin's hand a little squeeze. "And then well we got together as a group and I think I started to develop a small crush on him. And I later found out that he had a crush on me. But we were both really afraid to tell one another. So I kept going to him as my best friend and what not. And then like early December we came out to each other as well as with rest of the guys and on December 10th. We started "dating." And then a year later we were married on our anniversary." Justin summed up. They heard more coos from the audience. "Now speaking of your wedding. We have some pictures here." Rosie said turning to the screen where pictures of JC and Justin started to pop up. One picture popped up and JC holding Jonathan while looking one way and Justin holding Steven while talking to someone the other way, both preoccupied with other conversations to pose for the camera. The only thing holding them together was their joined hands. "Now that's a funny picture because we were posing for the camera because Lance wanted a picture with us and my baby brothers and than we were both taken away from the camera to sort out some problems. But Lance being the dork that he is took the picture anyway." JC pointed out. "Now this has to be my favorite picture." Rosie mentioned. The picture was of Justin and JC standing together. JC stood behind Justin and had his arms wrapped around Justin's waist. Justin had his arms on top of JC's. the pictures showed them both watching something while dressed in their spiffy clothes. They looked away from the camera, not noticing that a camera had captured a natural token of affection. Both Justin and JC blushed when that picture showed up. "Okay we'll move on from the embarrassment. And we'll move on to how you two became parents. Now from what I hear this is a sad story with a happy ending." Rosie questioned compassionately. JC gently ran his thumb up and down the back of Justin's hand knowing they were tracking into a sensitive area. Justin smiled appreciatively at him. "Well. . . we adopted our children but we had an advantage. My cousin was actually their mother. And I felt that they were our children from the start because we helped her along in her pregnancy and everything." Justin stopped as his lower lip began to quiver. JC moved his hand to Justin's thigh and rubbed gently. "And well she was a remarkable woman who sacrificed her life to give birth to her children. . .She left her children in our care. . .And so we got all the legal stuff done and all that. And they are now legally our children." Justin said as a few tears escaped his eye. JC reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and passed it along to Justin who gave a sad laugh when seeing the gesture. Justin gladly took the cloth from his husband and wiped his eyes. JC picked up Justin's hand and gave it a small kiss. "Kelly was a remarkable girl who didn't complain about anything and she captured my heart from the instant I met her. And it was such a great loss. But she gave birth to the most beautiful children." JC said with a nod while Justin took a sip from a mug of water. He passed the mug to JC offering him a sip. JC took a sip before Justin placed it back on the desk. "Now it's to my understanding that your children are here today." Rosie mentioned causing both parents to smile. They nodded which sent a round of applause into the room. "Please welcome Amy and Benjamin Chasez to the stage." Rosie announced. The crowd applauded with enthusiasm only to coo when Lance and Chris walked out of the door. Amy clutched Lance tightly, afraid of the overwhelming audience. Ben huddled to Chris shoulder, spying the audience shyly. They both walked over to Justin and JC and gently passed the children to their parents. Ben and Amy smiled in recognition of their parents and grasped them lovingly. Ben reached up and took a hold of JC's nose. JC snickered and pulled back only to come forward pretending to bite Ben's hand. Ben pulled his hand back and giggled. "And as you can see here are Lance Bass and Chris Kirkpatrick." Rosie introduced receiving another round of applause. "Where's Joey?" Justin asked over his shoulder as Lance and Chris sat behind the couple. "He's coming." Lance said. They all looked at the door where Joey slowly made his way out holding a cane. The crowd stood up and applauded as he came out and sat next to JC in the front row. "Wow! I'm on the Rosie show!" Chris commented. "Now how do the babies act around the guys especially Chris." Rosie asked with a goofy grin. "The twins love the guys. Actually they prefer the guys because they spoil them rotten." Justin said as he shifted Amy in his hands. "And It's funny because Amy prefers to be with her goofy Uncle Joey and Uncle Chris. And Ben always lights up when he sees Uncle Lance." JC said as he struggled with Ben who was reaching behind him for Lance. Lance snickered and scooped Ben into his arms. "Now you guys are going to be traveling with these babies. How do you feel about that?" Rosie asked. "I think we're all pretty psyched. Cause we all totally support Justin and JC in whatever they want to do and who couldn't love these two kids?" Chris asked as he lightly pinched Amy's cheek which made her laugh. "Now we want some scoop on these two lovebirds. Have you ever noticed any small token of affection that they try to keep secret, but weren't that sneaky?" Rosie asked. All five guys looked at each other and let out a small laugh. "Well they don't really hide their affections. They are pretty open about it. But often Justin will write these stupid notes for JC and place them in the most random places." Chris said with a laugh. "Yeah! I'll open up my book and there will be this note addressed to JC." Lance chuckled. "Oh! Wait! How about JC's little love messages!" Joey brought up. "What?!" Rosie asked in shock. "JC will call Justin's voice mail and leave these little messages like. `just calling to say I love you.' Or `wish I could kiss you right now'." Lance laughed. "How cute!!" Rosie chuckled. "Yeah well." JC said as he leaned over and kissed Justin on the cheek. There was an instant `aww' from the crowd. Justin blushed and lifted Amy in front of his face. "Now Chris asked me to ask you about your chains?" Rosie asked with inquisition. Justin and JC turned to each other and grinned lovingly to each other. They reached around their necks and pulled out two silver chains with rings dangling from them. "Well these are our engagement rings. And we decided to wear them around our neck just to remember each other." JC explained simply. "We never take them off." Justin added. "How cute!" Rosie cooed once again. "Okay well we have a special person who couldn't be here today but he's on the phone. Caller are you there?" Rosie asked. "Yeah. hey Rosie." The person replied. Justin smiled with recognition as did JC. "So who do you think this is?" Rosie asked. "That's Tyler!" Justin said happily. "Hey Ty!" JC said. "Now for those of you who don't know. Tyler is JC's younger brother. "And my brother-in-law." Justin snickered. "Hey Justin!" Tyler said. "Hey Ty. How's college?" Justin asked. "Same old. Same old. How is my niece and nephew?" Tyler asked. "They are fine." JC responded. "So how close are you with Tyler, Justin?" Rosie asked. "When Tyler comes over I don't get to see my husband because Justin and Tyler are always hanging out." JC frowned. "Oh be quiet JC!" Tyler and Justin said in unison. Laughter soon followed. "Now Tyler what do you think of your brother and your brother-in-law?" Rosie questioned. "I think they are a fantastic pair. They were truly meant for each other. And it's good that I'm now legally related to Justin because now I can introduce him as my brother instead of introduce him as my brother's bandmate who happens to be so close that he's like a brother to me." Tyler said. "Tyler you are so stupid." Justin said, bursting into laughter. "I love you too." Tyler responded, sarcastically. "Anyways we know Tyler is really busy, so we'll let him be on his way. But we do have another caller." Rosie announced. "Bye Tyler." The five guys said in unison. "Okay our next caller is a little younger." Rosie warned. "Hello?" a small child's voice asked. "Hi Jonathan!" JC smiled when recognizing the voice. "Hi Jceeee" Jonathan cooed into the phone. "How are you buddy?" JC asked. "Gooood. Are you on TV right now?" Jonathan asked. "Yeah." JC replied. "Is Justin there?" Jonathan asked. "Right Here Jon." Justin responded. "Justin Stevey took my train!" Jonathan complained. The audience broke into laughter as did Everyone on stage at the comment. "I'm sorry Jonathan. But you have to share. Don't worry you can play with it later okay?" Justin replied with a giant grin. "Jonathan this is Rosie O'Donnell. How are you?" Rosie asked. "Fine." Jonathan replied shyly. "Is your dad there?" Rosie asked. "Dad! For you!" Jonathan yelled. "Hello?" Randall asked. "Hey Dad." Justin replied. "Hi Dad." JC added. "Hey boys. Is Lance, Chris, and Joey there?" Randall asked. "Hey Mr. Timberlake!" The three of them said. "Hey guys. Listen Joey, I'm sorry to hear about your leg." Randall responded. "Oh Thanks Mr. T. But it'll be fine. I just can't move my knee too much." Joey replied. "I'm sorry to hear that. Do you know when it will be completely cool yet?" Randall inquired. "Not yet." Joey claimed. "Mr. Timberlake?" Rosie asked. "Oh please, it's Randall." He said thoughtfully. "Randall, now what do you think of the five guys and there upcoming tour?" Rosie asked. "Well I think the guys are great and doing their most extensive tour yet. And each one of them are incredible for balancing everything they have to deal with in their lives. I love them all and wish them nothing but the best." Randall announced. "Ahhh thanks Dad." JC commented. " Okay well we have to go to commercial break right now. But when we come back. We'll get the dirt behind the making of their video Pop." Rosie announced. The guys instantly started to move around, stand up, stretch, and walk around. "Blue, You want me to take her off your hands for a while?" JC asked. "Actually can I hold her?" Rosie inquired. "Sure." Justin said as he gently parted with his daughter. Rosie took her into her own arms and smiled. "She's beautiful." Rosie cooed. "Awww thank you." Justin responded. "So what are you two doing on the road?" Rosie asked. "Well I think we'll have a little help but we definitely want to be a part of their infant years." JC added. "Oh you know what you guys have to do? You have to give up your seat Jayce cause of that special guest?" Chris said walking in front of him. "Oh yeah." JC said as he stood up. Justin stood up and let JC take his seat before he sat back down half on JC's lap and half on the cushion. "Comfy babe?" JC asked. "Yeah I'm fine." Justin replied. JC wrapped his arms around Justin's waist and snuggled up close to him. "Okay we're back in three!" the producer yelled. "Two!" "Hello! And welcome back! Today we have our special guests N SYNC. Now we're going to talk about the group's video. Pop. Now what actually went on behind the sets guys?" Rosie asked, as she held Amy carefully. "Well there was a lot of trouble backstage. It was a lot of running around." Chris chuckled causing Justin to crack up as well. "What happened?" Rosie questioned, laughing herself. "Well Chris and Justin decided to reenact a scene from Cops. So they ran around with these cameras. They I think ran over our body guard's foot. Broke Joey's little cart. And chased away some of the photographers." Lance listed. "Hey we were just having fun." Justin snickered with Chris. "Now besides the two trouble makers. What else happened?" Rosie questioned. "Well Joey busted his leg so we had our choreographer dance for him." JC announced. "Wade Robson is an awesome guy cause he came in when we needed help. And seriously he is part of the family. He's just. . . just. . . awesome." Chris claimed. "And Joey is a major trooper. He did some of the toughest routines with a bum leg. " JC commented from behind Justin. "Now Lance let me on a little problem with the extras on the set." Rosie egged on. JC and Joey burst into laughter. They looked at each other and laughed uncontrollably. Justin gave them a perturbed look. "Now Justin explain why you look so annoyed." Rosie commented. "Well in the video JC walks down this hall with women lining it. and occasionally they would cross over or what not. Well one time they had to stick their grubby little paws all over Josh. And well he basically let them. He slept in his director's chair that night." Justin said in a bit of anger. JC tightened his grip around Justin's waist and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Hey I can't help it if the director wanted me to have women grope me." JC smirked. Justin gave him an equal smirk over his shoulder before lightly elbowing him in the stomach. He let out a groan before stopping instantaneously when hearing Amy start to whimper. Rosie looked at Justin who reached over and took her into his arms. "It's okay. Dad's here." Justin said softly as Amy started to quiet down. "Okay Now what else happened with the extras?" Rosie continued. "Well Joey was aching or something and he walked into one door and it turned out to be the girl's dressing room." Lance commented. "The extras were. . .uhm great." Joey said with his unmistakable grin. "Now speaking of girl's. I understand that you Lance are taken." Rosie claimed. "I. . .am." Lance nodded in agreement. "Well would you like to share who you are dating?" Rosie tried to pry. "Actually I'm not sure if I want to share it or not. The person I'm dating might not want to be public yet." Lance turned down nicely. "Well let's have the next guest decided if she wants to reveal Lance's marital status." Rosie said. Britney poked her head out receiving a loud round of applause. She shyly walked over to the chair between Joey and Justin and JC. She took a seat in font of Lance and looked back at him. "Now Britney. Who exactly is Lance dating?" Rosie questioned. "Lance is dating. . . me." Britney replied softly. Amy reached out for Britney who gladly accepted her. And the interview continues. "I love Rosie! She is the only talk show host that I look forward to meeting." Justin said as he moved around the green room. Hey leaned into the small child seat where Ben was laying, and placed a small kiss on his nose. "Hey Sweetheart can you give me Amy's bottle?" JC asked from the couch. Justin took the bottle out of the backpack and tossed it to JC. JC took the bottle and offered it to Amy. Amy took the nipple into her mouth and suckled on the milk. "Hey Sweet Pea. What's new?" JC said to Amy who was looking at him. "Josh, can you hand me a blanket?" Justin asked, pointing to one that JC was half way sitting on. JC pulled it free and tossed it to Justin. Justin let out a small yawn and gently covered Ben with the blanket. "Where are my little cuties?" Sarah asked as she walked into the green room. "Shhh! Ben's asleep!" Justin commented. "Amy's feeding." JC added. "Oh I'm sorry. Well I'll just have to check up on my other baby." Sarah claimed as she walked over to Chris and took a seat on his lap. Chris lightly woke up from his snooze and looked around before wrapping his arms around his girlfriend and heading back to his nap. "Pig." Sarah chuckled. "Hey guys." Britney chimed as she walked through the door. "Hey Brit." Justin said as he folded Ben's clothes quickly before stuffing it into a backpack. "How is everyone doing?" she asked before taking a seat next to JC who was holding Amy who suckled on the bottle silently. "Hey guys the limo is here." Lance claimed as he took a small bite of a muffin. He closed the door behind him causing a loud thud to go through the room. Instantly Ben stirred open and began to let out a cry. Justin let out an exasperated sigh and scooped Ben up. "It's okay. Uncle Lance didn't mean to wake you up." Justin said tossing him a glare. "Hey It was the door, not me." Lance said as he placed a kiss on Ben's cheek, his own cheeks still full of the muffin. Justin gave him a small laugh as he bounced Ben up and down until his cries diminished. "You're lucky he's tired." Justin said letting out another yawn. "Do you want me to take care of them?" Joey questioned looking in from the doorway. "Uhm Naw, it's cool." Justin replied, nodding slowly. "Liar, Here give me the children." Joey said as he reached for Ben. Justin reluctantly handed him over to Joey before finishing the job of packing the diaper bag. Amy let out a squeal which JC replied with a wince. "Okay Sweet Pea." JC replied as he lifted the bottle to read the numbers on the side. "Wow, you drank a lot today." JC smiled at his daughter. He lifted her to his shoulder and began to gently pat her back. "Okay are we all ready to go?" Lance asked as he rose with his hand clutching Britney's. "Yeah sure." JC said as he rose, cautiously adjusting Baby Amy on his shoulder. JC walked next to Justin and patted his back before dropping his arm. Justin took a hold of JC's arm and laid his head on JC's shoulder. "You okay baby?" JC asked, looking down the slightly fuzzy head. "I'm just really tired. The twins have been fussing all night. And I couldn't get back to sleep after the second time we woke up." Justin replied. "When we get in the limo, why don't you get a small nap okay?" JC whispered before gently pressing his lips to Justin's head. "Here let me burp Amy." Sarah said taking the child from JC. JC smiled appreciatively before wrapping an arm around Justin. Justin placed his head on JC's chest under his chin and closed his eyes. "Okay let's head out." Joey rallied. They all made there way out into the hall and down to the back entrance of the studio. "Right this way sirs." A man said escorting them. "Thanks." JC replied. He let Justin slip into the limo first and then followed him inside. He watched with worry as Sarah and Joey enter the limo cautiously with their children. JC took a corner seat and allowed Justin to curl up next to him. JC lifted his leather jacket and placed it around Justin. Justin snuggled closer and drifted off. Just then Amy let out a loud burp. Everyone looked toward her and chuckled. "Good Girl." JC laughed. "Okay we go home and then head straight to Jacksonville or are we going straight to Jacksonville?" Chris questioned, running his fingers through Sarah's hair. "Uhm we are heading straight to Jacksonville." Lance responded, with his head on Britney's shoulder. "Oh and in two weeks we have to do the Challenge for the Children." Joey said excitedly. "Oh cool. Who do we have coming?" JC asked. "Uhm, Destiny's Child, Dream, and Brit. And I think Chrissy might come." Lance claimed. "And Wild Orchid." JC mumbled. "What?" Joey asked. "I said, and Wild Orchid." JC reiterated softly. "Does Justin know?" Chris asked. "Do you think I'd be talking softly if he knew?" JC questioned scratching his soft goatee. "I can't believe you invited them like that? Seriously What were you thinking? Justin is going to kill you when he finds out Wild Orchid is coming." Lance chastised. "Wild Orchid is coming where?" Justin asked, rubbing his eyes as he drifted out of sleep. "Well. . .uhm. . . well. . . they are. . . Hell why am I stumbling? Ask JC." Joey said. JC threw Joey a deathly glare before looking at Justin who was sitting up. "Well Wild Orchid are uhm . . .coming. . .to our. . . Challenge for the Children." JC said carefully. Justin looked at him in surprise. "I though we decided only to invite D Child, Brit, and Dream?" Justin asked. "That's what I thought." Lance mumbled. "Will you keep your ass out of this Lance." JC shot back. "Hey don't get mad at Lance, Jayce. He didn't invite Wild Orchid." Joey added. "Ugh! Okay! I invited Wild Orchid, what's the big deal. It's not like Lance doesn't invite that girl he manages to all of our events. And it's not like Chris doesn't invite his buddies everywhere. What's wrong with me inviting the girls to something. I do produce them." JC responded. Justin looked at him with hurt in his eyes before moving to the other side of the seat. "Justin, Sweetheart, come on. Don't be mad at me. It's just that they need some exposure and I'm trying to help them out. You know how hard it was for us. We went to a different country to get exposure. They don't have that luxury." JC replied. Justin looked out the window, with his arms folded over his chest. "Oooo Someone's sleeping on the couch tonight." Chris snickered. "Shut up!" JC snapped. Justin looked out the window, sullenly looking down on the earth beneath them. He closed his eyes and let his head rest against the head rest. He felt a hand slip into his and clutch onto it. Justin opened his eyes and looked over toward the other seat. He gave off a small smile before looking back out the window. "So are you that mad at him?" "I'm not mad at him." Justin replied. "Liar." "No seriously, I'm not mad at him at all." Justin said sadly. "Come on, it's me." "Brit, I'm not mad at him, I'm just very heart broken." Justin said looking down at his lap. "I see where you could be." Britney nodded. "I. . .I dunno." Justin sighed as he looked out of the window once again. "If it helps, He's sleeping in the world's most uncomfortable position." Britney snickered. Justin gave her a small smile before getting out of his seat to see JC. JC snoozed two seats in front of him with his head hanging lifelessly in the aisle while his arm was wedged between his body and the armrest. "Isn't that the funniest thing?" Britney laughed. "Excuse me." Justin said softly as he got up and walked into the aisle. He made his way to JC's seat and crouched down in front of him. He slowly shifted JC back into the seat so that he was sitting up. He placed a pillow against the window and gently placed JC over the empty seat next to him so that his head could rest on the pillow. He instantly looked across the aisle when he heard Amy whimper a bit. She was starting to wake up from her nap. Chris struggled with her as she started to squirm. "It's okay Amers, it's your buddy Uncle Chris." Chris desperately tried to control the girl. "Here, come to Daddy." Justin said taking Amy gently. Amy slowly started to curl into her father's shoulder and lower her whimpering. "Thanks Chris." Justin whispered. "No prob, Curly." Chris responded. He sat back in his seat and placed on his headphones. "Hey Lance, are you alright with Ben?" Justin asked. "Yeah, me and him are having a ball." Lance responded, glancing down to Ben who played obliviously in his lap. Justin snickered before walking back to his seat where Britney was now flipping through a magazine. "I wish you would have let JC slept like that. It would be a blast to see him go through rehearsals with a crick in his neck." Britney giggled. "As much as I'm upset right now, I don't want him to be in pain." Justin said with a slight smile. "You are the bigger man cause if Lance did something that bad, I would wait til he falls asleep and draw all over his face with my lipstick." Britney smiled wickedly. "Yeah but I still love him. and putting him through hell is something I don't want to do." Justin shrugged. "You're so sweet Justy." Britney replied. "Attention passengers, we are about to begin our final decent, will you please put your seatbelts on." Justin quickly hopped up and looked over at JC. "Chris!" Justin hissed. Chris poked his head up from the chair and looked at Justin. "Buckle JC's seatbelt will you?" Justin asked. Chris nodded and helped JC up and buckle his seatbelt into place, while JC was slowly coming out of sleep. She sat in the first row of the arena staring at the bare stage in boredom. She looked down at her feet where her suitcases sat waiting to be lifted. She continued to chew her gum slowly while she ran her hands over her perfectly styled hair. For the fifth time she looked into her mirror and checked her make-up. She pocketed her compact and waited patiently. "Will you move? Every time you walk next to me you always lean against me pushing me into random objects." Lance yelled as he shoved Joey in the other direction. "Oh! So now I'm random?" Britney inquired. "No I meant. . . usually he. . . every other time. . ." Lance struggled. "Scoop, just give it up." Justin snickered. "Excuse me, coming through. Couple with babies." Chris said as he assisted Sarah in carrying the twins into the arena. They each held a car seat with the babies laying in them soundly. " Hey I have a baby too. She's not an infant but she's my baby." Lance commented as Britney tugged on his arm. "Hey where is Wade? He was supposed to meet us here." Justin asked. JC followed closely behind carrying the babies' backpack. "Who's that?" Joey asked, pointing to her. She looked at the floor before looking back up and giving them a small wave. "That's Hana!" Justin said happily. "Oh, that's the new nanny." Lance confirmed. "Hey Hana." Justin said as he walked up to her and gave her a hug. "Hello Justin." She replied, squinting her almond shaped eyes. She tucked her shoulder length hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry to ask this but what nationality are you?" Joey asked with strong interest. She smiled and blushed as she looked up at him. "I'm Chinese." She responded with a shy grin. "I would have said that or Korean." Joey replied. Lance moved closer to JC and whispered into his ear. "Joey likes your nanny." Lance snickered. "I'm gonna need a babysitter for Joey now." JC responded. "Hi! I'm Sarah. I'm gonna be the second nanny." Sarah introduced. "Hi I'm Hana." She introduced. "Okay well why don't we help get your stuff onto the bus and get you all situated and then we'll go from there." JC offered. "Sounds good." Hana smiled. "NSYNC! NSYNC!! NSYNC!!!" the crowd yelled as the guys peeked out of the bus. There was a mob of people surrounding the bus as well as the pathway toward the hotel. The guys stared in amazement at the way their fans flocked to see them for a mere thirty seconds as they ran into the hotel. Justin waited patiently with Ben who feared the noise coming from outside. JC sat close by with Amy in his arms. Lance and Britney stood by the front waiting tiredly, while Joey sat next to them. Chris sat with Sarah in his lap as Hana gawked in amazement. "Okay Hana, after this moment, when the crowd first sees you, there will be websites all over the world either hating you or loving you." Chris stated. "Oh my." Hana said in shock. "Don't worry, they all hate me for dating Chris." Sarah claimed. "Okay Guys time to go." Lonnie claimed as he came boarding the bus. The large bodyguard stood at the front with another equally intimidating as Lonnie. "I think it would be wise to give us the twins." Lonnie claimed referring to himself and Ronald, the bodyguard behind him. "Yeah me too." Justin claimed. Lonnie gave off s coo as he scooped Ben into his arms. Ben smiled as he reached out, trying to touch Lonnie's nose. "Here you go Ronald." JC said as he handed Amy over to the other bodyguard. Amy began to whimper a bit when she saw her father retreating. "It's okay Amers. He's not so bad." Joey cooed. Okay Ronald you go first and I'll take up the back." Lonnie claimed. They stepped outside to see a small path that lead to the entrance of the hotel. Ronald lead the way through the screaming girls as the rest followed. Lance and Britney walked swiftly first while Chris and Sarah darted after them. Justin and JC followed them out of the bus with Joey helping Hana through her first hotel entrance. Lonnie ran up at the end carrying Ben in his arms. "I LOVE YOU JUSTIN!" "MARRY ME CHRIS!" "DUMP BRITNEY, LANCE!" "JOEY! JOEY! OVER HERE!" "JC! WILL YOU SIGN MY ARM?" Justin started walking when someone grabbed his shirt sleeve. He was quickly yanked away from the path. "Will you sign this for me Justin?" A girl asked holding out a pen and a pad. Justin took the pen and pad and quickly signed it. "Justin sign mine!" A girl screamed. Justin took the pen and began signing random things. JC ran into the hotel and looked around. Lonnie ran in carrying Ben and closed the doors. "Where's Justin?" JC asked as he looked around. He darted to the door and peered out. He saw Justin being assaulted with thousands of arms holding out memorabilia. JC opened the door and ran out before Lonnie could stop him. "Justin will you sign my jacket?" A guy asked. JC made his way next to his husband and took his hand in his own. "Sorry ladies and gentlemen. I want my husband back. JC announced as he started to move toward the door. Justin sighed in relief and followed JC. "Justin! This is for you." A deep voice announced from the crowd. He saw an arm emerge from the crowd holding a card. In an instant thousands of people held out objects for Justin to take. Justin took the card and as many other signs and stuffed animals that were stuffed in his face, before finally reaching the door. He got into the lobby and sighed at the quietness. JC helped take some of the items from Justin and stuffed them into his relatively empty backpack. Justin clutched a couple of cards and a stuffed animal. "You okay Sweetheart?" JC asked wrapping an arm around Justin. "I'm still upset with you." Justin said seriously before walking with the rest of the group toward the elevators. "Justin! Hold on! Wait!" JC shouted as he ran after Justin. Justin turned around carefully while bouncing up and down to croon Ben to sleep. "What?" Justin asked. "Why are you so pissed off with me?" JC asked. "Don't tell me you forgot already." Justin claimed as he walked to the door and inserted the key. "This isn't about em inviting Wild Orchid to the charity game is it?" JC asked as he followed Justin. "God Josh you don't understand do you?" Justin asked with a sigh. "No I don't? How can you keep living in the past?" JC asked. "Josh! You are inviting the woman who almost broke us up! She ahs been nothing but a bitch to me. And you keep inviting her into our house." Justin screamed. Ben snapped awake and began to cry. "She's a client Justin! What am I supposed to do? It's not like I can stay away from her and produce her album at the same time!" JC retorted. "You know how much I dislike her and yet you invite her into our home and into our life! You know I don't want to fight right now." Justin said as he took a seat on the bed and gently rocked Ben. "You know what Justin! I'm yours! I love you! I want to spend the rest of my life with you. But you still have this constant need to be jealous! I'll be in Lance's room when you decide to grow up." JC said as he left the room. TO BE CONTINUED. . . Uh oh! Trouble in Paradise! Haha.
