JC laid awake in bed with Justin snuggled closely to his body. He had an arm wrapped around Justin while the other toyed with Justin's curls softly, being sure not to wake the angel. JC reminisced about the day before where he shared an intimate moment with Justin in the shower. He gently kissed Justin on the head before rising from bed. He looked over to the clock and let out a small yawn. JC looked around the room for clothes. He found Justin's shirt and a pair of Justin's nylon pants. He slipped both on and walked into the hall. He knocked on Lance's door and waited for a reply. Lance soon groggily opened the door. "Hey Lance. Time to get up. We are wanted at a photo shoot in an hour." JC said. Lance nodded while JC moved to the other room. He knocked on Joey's door. Joey opened the door to see JC standing tiredly in front of him. The two stared at each other tiredly. "Tell Chris there is a photo shoot in one hour." JC said. "Chris never came back last night." Joey replied. "Do you think he and Sarah killed each other?" JC laughed. Joey gave him a serious look. The two dashed to Jennie's room. They knocked on the door furiously. "What?!" Jennie asked as she opened the door quickly. "What room is Sarah in?" They both asked quickly. "Uhmm. Two doors down." Jennie replied with confusion. JC and Joey ran to the room and once again knocked furiously. "What?!" Chris asked tiredly, opening the door to reveal that he was only wearing boxers. "Chris who is it?" Sarah asked in the back. Chris glanced at JC and Joey who were trying to hold back their laughter. "Sorry Chris. Our bad. Oh photo shoot in an hour. See ya!." JC and Joey said as they ran away from the door. Chris closed the door and walked back inside. JC climbed out of the limo with Seth on his hip. He pointed everything out the child as he walked into studio being used for the photo shoot. Justin followed behind with the Britney. The rest of the guys followed closely, still tired from the morning hours. "What's the theme today?" Joey asked. "I don't know but can we where something blue? I hate wearing white." Lance complained. "Hey if we have to wear different colors. I called blue or baby blue." Justin announced. "I got green!" Lance added. "Red or Black!" JC stated. "Orange!" Joey quickly added. "Awww man!!! I'm stuck with yellow again! Dammit. Please let it be a themed photo shoot. I don't want to where yellow." Chris prayed. "What's that?" Seth asked. JC looked to where Seth's hand pointed and saw it ended at giant platform with artificial snow and a winter look to it. IN the middle was a red and white striped pole with the sign North Pole on it. "We get a Christmas theme!! Yes!" Chris exclaimed as he walked into the dressing room. "I don't want to be an elf." Lance stated as he causally walked into the room. "Is Santa going to be here?" Seth asked JC curiously. "Well maybe. We'll see. Maybe you can ask him what you want for Christmas." JC said tickling the boy. Seth squealed with delight before JC placed him on the ground. He dashed over to Justin and gripped onto his leg. "Hey Seth!" Justin laughed scooping the boy into his arms while he picked out what he was going to wear. "What do you think Seth. Should I wear this shirt?" Justin asked the kid. Seth studied the shirt before shaking his head. "That one." The boy said pointing to a dark blue turtle neck. Justin pulled out the shirt and nodded. "What kind of pants should I wear with it." Justin asked. "Those one's with the pockets." Seth said pointing to a pair of khaki cargo pants. Justin nodded and that out as well. Okay you stay here while I change into them. Then tell me what you think okay?" Justin said placing Seth down on the couch. Justin quickly changed and stood in front of Seth in his clothes for the child's approval. Seth held up a thumbs up for Justin who snickered and placed the kid on the ground again. "Do you want to play in the snow?" Justin asked. Seth nodded and took Justin's hand. The two walked out of the dressing area and onto the platform which was covered in false snow. Justin crouched in the snow as Seth plopped down on the soft white blanket under him. Justin chuckled as he scooped up the synthetic snow and blew it at Seth. Seth imitated Justin sending a whirlwind of snow through the air. Justin smiled and tackled Seth to the ground. Seth chuckled and got up. He began to run around the set as Justin chased after him in an endless game of tag. Finally Justin caught up with Seth And scooped him into the air. He fell backwards onto the blanket of cottony snow while Seth jumped on top of him. Seth crawled on Justin's chest and sat down on his stomach. He started to toy with Justin's curls, trying to uncurl all of them. Justin gave a small laugh and tickled the boy. JC watched from the door of the dressing room as Justin played with Seth just like another kid would. He quickly whispered to the cameraman who grabbed a hold of his camera and began to photograph the two as the played in the false snow. Seth grew tired and fell back onto Justin's lap. He shifted in Justin's lap and hugged the older man. "You tired?" Justin asked. Seth nodded with every gasp for air. Justin stood with the boy in his arms. He brushed the snow off of Seth and himself before leaving the platform. Only then did Justin realize that the cameraman had been photographing him. "You took a picture of that?" Justin asked. "Yes they were Mr. Chasez's orders." The photographer replied. "You aren't going to use those in a spread are you?" Justin asked worriedly. "No. Not at all. Mr. Chasez wanted to buy the roll and is paying for the development." He replied. Justin thanked the man and walked to JC who was standing within the threshold of the dressing room. "Why do you want to buy that roll of film? Only thing that's on it is me and Seth goofing off." Justin laughed as placed a hand on JC's chest. "Because you are so adorable." JC replied. "You're sweet. Now let's go we have to take pictures." Lance said from behind. Justin broke into laughter and turned around to walk back to the platform. He glanced over his shoulder and gave a loving smile to JC who grinned back. The guys quickly changed after the photo shoot and walked into the noon time sunlight which shone over LA. Britney took Justin's arm as the two walked side by side while conversing. JC carried Seth While Chris and Joey chatted with Jennie. Lance tried continually to call someone on his cell phone. "So what are your plans tonight?" Justin asked Britney as he took a sip from his water bottle. "Nothing really. Freddie is coming over. We're just going to hang out. Want to join us?" Britney asked. "I'm not sure. I'll see what JC thinks. We still have to tell him huh?" Justin contemplated whether or not he had told Freddie about his relationship with JC yet. "He knows." Britney said squinting back as the sun continued to beat down on them. "What? How?" Justin asked, offering his water bottle to Britney. She shook her head and held up her own. "Well he asked me jokingly yesterday because he noticed that you two spent a lot of time together and at one point in the evening you two were holding hands. So he figured it out. But don't worry. Your secrets safe with him. he doesn't mind at all." Britney replied. Justin nodded and continued to walk down the street. "Damn!" Lance said, obviously aggravated with his phone. He began dialing again. "What's wrong Scoop?" JC asked, noticing Lance's anger. "I've been trying to call Danielle for the last twenty minutes and there is no answer. And when I get through it's busy." Lance sighed as he flipped his phone close and slid it into his pocket. "Maybe she's not home or something. Why do you have to call her anyway?" Justin asked, drawing his attention toward his friend. "Well I was thinking about dropping by tonight after the show. I wanted to see if she wanted to come tonight and then we'll head over there or something." Lance sighed. "Why don't you just drop by there after the show. It's not the weekend so she'll be home. If not then just come on back." Joey suggested. "Yeah maybe. We'll see." Lance sighed. "Where do you guys want to eat. We've been walking around for an hour now." Chris complained from the back. "So Chris Why didn't you invite Sarah to come?" Justin asked while trying to control his laughter. "Ha. Ha. Very funny." Chris replied. "So I heard you were in her room allll night long." Lance grinned. "Nothing happened." Chris responded. "Sure. Do you always answer your door with your boxers on and with a girl calling your name?" JC laughed. Chris turned a bright shade of red and shook his head with a small embarrassed smile on his face. "You all suck. You aren't my best friends anymore." Chris pouted. Joey snickered and nudged Chris. "We're just teasing. I'm happy you have found someone." JC replied. "Sarah is a great girl." Britney commented. "Yeah I know." Chris sighed in happiness. "Did I ever act like that when I thought about JC?" Justin laughed. "You still do." Lance replied. Justin gave a small laugh and slowed down so he could stand next to JC. He gazed at JC who was talking to Seth. He saw Seth wrap both of his tiny hands around JC's neck and rest his weary head on his shoulder. JC took the hat off his head and placed it on Seth's head, protecting him from the sun. "Hey how bout this place!" Chris announced as he stopped in front of a restaurant. "Sounds good to me." Joey followed. They all went inside for lunch. Time flew for everyone. The guys found themselves performing their last routine in front of their fans who were packed into the arena to see them perform along with their lovely co-star Britney. They anxiously wrapped up their routine. After saying their thank you's and their good bye's, the five rushed backstage to there dressing rooms. Justin began to change out of his performance clothes and into his giant shirt and windbreakers. He laid down on the couch while waiting for the rest of the guys to finish. "Hello everyone!" Tyler announced as he walked into the room. "Hey Ty. Where were you the whole day?" Justin asked while Tyler took a seat at the foot of the couch. "Well I went site seeing. Hooked up with a couple of my friends and met some girls." "Liar! You don't have friends." JC laughed as he sat on the arm of the chair. Justin sat up and rested himself against JC. JC kissed the top of Justin's head and looked back over to his brother. Tyler flipped him off and gave a small mocking laugh. "Well other than that. I just hung out. Now how about you guys? What are your plans for tonight?" Tyler asked. "Well I think I'm heading to a club." Chris stated. "With Sarah????" Justin cooed. "Yes with Sarah." Chris replied trying to imitate Justin. "Ooooooo." All of them cooed. Chris smiled in embarrassment and slipped his wallet into his jacket pocket. "Well I'm heading to sleep. And Lance is going to drop by Britney's. How bout you guys?" Joey asked the two lovebirds. He looked toward them only to see them in a lip lock with one another. "Hey! Dorks! Stop trading saliva and answer the question." Joey laughed. Justin and JC sighed before separating. "Fermez la bouche. Tu est tres stupide." Justin verbalized. He looked toward JC for approval. Justin received a proud nod before having JC's arms draped over his shoulders. Joey sat there stunned by Justin's random decision to use French. "To answer your question. Justin and I are hanging out with Britney and Freddie at the hotel tonight." JC said to his brother. "Wanna join us?" Justin asked. "Sure why not?" Tyler shrugged. "Did you call me stupid?" Joey asked, contemplating Justin's words. Justin and JC laughed. "Hey JC! You gotta teach me that stuff. I could be in like an argument with management or something and just bust out with French words and of use the hell out of them! How do you say `It's my hair! Not yours.' No no! How do you say `I want ninety percent'." Joey asked. He continued to throw out questions at JC. JC sighed and stood. He took Justin's hand and waked out of the room with Joey chasing behind continuing to asked questions. Seth bounced off the bed onto the floor where he ran to Jennie and hopped on her lap. Jennie let out a groan. She hugged her child ignoring his squirming. She placed her son down finally and stood to look in the mirror. She checked her hair and makeup once again to make sure it was perfect. "Are you sure you guys don't mind watching Seth. I feel really bad. You guys took care of him the whole day, you don't have to watch him tonight if you don't want to." Jennie said, trying not to inconvenience the four people on the bed. JC had his back propped up against the head board of the bed while Justin sat between his legs, resting his back against JC's chest. Tyler laid down on the other bed with his head resting on Britney's thigh who was sitting cross-legged. "It's perfectly alright. You cannot go and take your son on a date. Especially the first date with a guy. Tell me about him." Britney claimed, as if she was a teenage girl at a slumber party with seven of her closest friends. "Well I have a date with John." Jennie smiled. "Construction Johnny?" Justin asked in shock. "Yup." Jennie replied with a giant grin. "He's cute!" Britney, Justin and JC said at the same time. Tyler rolled his eyes at the three and continued to listen. "Well he was fixing the set today in his usual attire. That tight white wife beater and his tight jeans. Anyways. He asked me to dinner. I just hope he doesn't where his hard hat and tool belt to the restaurant." Jennie joked. John was the classic construction worker. He had the body for it definitely. He was a broad shouldered, tapered waist guy. Rock hard muscles everywhere. All leading to his enticing wash board stomach. He had the sandy brown hair that accented well with his slightly tan white skin. He always wore a tight white shirt of wife beater which showed off his bulging muscles. And his famous tight blue jeans that molded around his perfect ass. (Wow, sounds hot huh?). He wasn't completely a construction worker. He totally blew off the stereotype that he was associated with. Not only does he have brains but musical genius as well. He could play the piano, the guitar, and the saxophone. He wasn't a bad singer either. "Does he know about Seth?" JC asked. "No." Jennie said shaking her head. "Oh." Britney replied, sadly. "Well if he take me, he ahs to take Seth too. We are a paired duo. And if he doesn't like Seth he doesn't have a shot with me. Seth is my life and I'm not giving that up just because a hot, brainy, beef cake wants me to." Jennie replied. With that said she scooped up her child and gave him a small kiss on the forehead. Seth smiled and squirmed to jump out of her arms. She placed him down and allowed him to run to the bed. He climbed onto the bed and jumped into Justin's lap. Jennie was about to say something when there was a knock at the door. Jennie answered the door to see John standing in a black suit. Black slacks matched perfectly with his sports coat. His tie was an elegant blue, with a stylish design. The tie matched his eyes perfectly. On the tip of his nose was a pair of thin framed reading glasses which gave him a sophisticated look. Jennie gazed at his heavenly hair which was parted down the center and gelled slightly. "Wow you look gorgeous." John stated seeing Jennie stand before him in a blue dress held to her by spaghetti straps the draped over her shoulders. She had a shall that covered her elbows by running around her back. She held her purse in her hand while John stared at her beauty. "Would you like to come in?" John heard someone ask from inside. Jennie laughed and moved from the doorway allowing him to come in. He walked into the room to see Tyler sitting on the couch with Britney next to him. Justin laid on one bed while JC laid on another. Seth fiddled with JC's necklace as he sat next to JC on the bed. "Hello Everyone." John announced. "Everyone this is John. John this is Tyler, Britney, Justin, JC and the child is Seth." Jennie introduced. "Well I know Britney, Justin and JC. And it's nice meeting you Tyler. Nice meeting you too Seth." John said, shaking the little boys hand. "He's cool who's child is he?" John asked looking around the room. "Well. . . uhm. . . he's. . . he's. . . " Jennie stuttered. "He's my nephew. My brother's child." JC announced pointing to Tyler. Tyler was taken back by the statement. He looked toward Jennie who pleaded with him with longing eyes. "Yeah he's my son." Tyler replied with a small smile. "Wow you look really young. Do you mind me asking how old you are?" John asked. Tyler was starting to nod when he saw Jennie shake her head at him. "Actually I do. You may think I look young for my age. Everyone always says that." Tyler lied, smiling like his life depended on it. Justin clenched his teeth trying to hold back all his laughter. "Well I think we should get going. Bye everyone." Jennie said taking John outside. "Nice meeting you!" john said, as he was led outside. "Oh I forgot something wait here." Jennie said as she walked back into the room and closed the door in his face. Jennie ran into the room and up to Seth. "Now Seth you be a good boy and listen to whatever Justin, JC, Britney, or Tyler tell you okay?" Jennie said. "Okay." The boy replied looking up at his mother. Jennie took his cheeks in her palms and kissed his forehead. "Bye sweety." Jennie whispered before leaving on her date. She left the room leaving the four adults and one child in the room. "You are such a stupid punk!" Tyler said throwing a couch cushion at JC's head. JC caught it and burst into laughter as did Justin and Britney Lance parked his car in Danielle's driveway next to a car that he did not notice. He looked at the curiously before shrugging it off. He picked up the dozen yellow roses that was in the front passengers seat and closed his door. He hit the alarm on his car, making that sound that a car always makes. He made his way to the front door passing the cherry blossom tree that she had growing next to the house. He made his way to the door and rang the doorbell. He heard a quick shuffle in the house and could have sworn he heard two people talking inside. He shrugged once more and waited for the door to open. Danielle opened the door with her hair a little messed up. She blew a couple of strands out of her face as she leaned in the door way. "Lance!!!" Danielle shrieked as she threw her arms around Lance. Lance hugged her back and looked confused. Something was different about her. She usually gave him a kiss and hugged him more affectionately. `Lance, you're going paranoid.' Lance thought to himself. He handed her the roses and kissed her softly. "Mmmm. You taste good." Lance said in his deep voice. Danielle smiled and walked into the house with her roses. Lance looked puzzled. `Usually she would drag me into the house anxiously.' Lance thought. Danielle came back out with a vase full of flowers. She placed it on the counter and glanced as the closet. Lance noticed the quick glance but shrugged it off, giving his utmost trust to his girlfriend. He took off his coat and started to walk to the closet. Danielle quickly stepped in front of him. "No Lance let me take it." Danielle said with a smile. Lance shrugged and gave his jacket to Danielle. He walked back to the living room. Danielle opened the closet door and threw the jacket inside and closed the door. "Ugh!!!" Danielle's eyes popped open when she heard this. "Honey did you say something?" Lance asked form the living room. "Oh no. Just caught my finger in the closet door but I'm okay." Danielle said nervously. Lance nodded and turned back around. Danielle soon joined him on the couch. Lance looked at the coffee table where there was a bottle of wine and two glasses. "Hey. How did you know I was coming?" Lance asked. taking a glass into his hands. "Call it a hunch." Danielle smiled before taking a glass into her hands. They toasted each other before taking a sip. "You know I left something on the stove. Excuse me." Danielle said rising to her feet and running into the kitchen. Lance sat there taking in the house again. `Lance! You left the bracelet in your coat pocket you Doof!' Lance chastised himself. He walked to the closet and opened the door. He didn't see his jacket hanging at all. He looked to the floor and saw his jacket laying there. He bent down and picked up his jacket. As he picked up the jacket he saw a pair of men's shoes attached to a pair of ankles. He rose to his feet and looked into the closet. He separated the coats in front of him to see a man standing there with his eyes closed in an expression of `Don't hurt me'. "Hey Honey! I was wonder. . ." Danielle stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Lance standing in front of the closet with utter shock. "Who's he?" Lance asked. To be Continued... ****Welp that's all!
