Lance puts the baby he was holding in JC's arms, "So you and Justin have been together for a while then?"
"Yeah," JC looks up and meets Lance's eyes.
"That's good. I'm happy for the two of you. And congratulations by the way, on both the marriage and the babies."
"Thanks Lance."
"Hey, wait a minute." Chris exclaims. When everyone turns their attention to him he states, "If you," he looks at Joey, "dumped Jayce for Dan, what were you doing in bed with Kelly?"
Dan looks to Joey and raises an eyebrow, "That's what I was wondering."
"Ummm....nothing actually. I just passed out. I was drunk and she drug me back to the hotel. If Jayce had bothered to stick around long enough he would have noticed that both of us were fully dressed." Joey states nervously.
"Damn," Chris grumbles. "Now I don't have anyone to be mad at. What am I gonna do now?"
Karen hands him the baby she was holding, "How about helping me get their nursery ready? I was only expecting two babies. We got shopping to do."
Dan smiles, "Did you say shopping?"
Karen looks at him, quirks an eyebrow, "Yeah? You wanna come along?"
"I'd love to. Come on Joey." He grabs Joey's arm.
"I think I'm gonna tag along too. If you don't mind Karen?" Lance asks.
"You're all welcome. I'll see you later you two. Take care of my grandbabies."
"We will mom." JC smiles as Chris hands over the other baby.
They all leave and Justin takes the sleeping baby in his arms and puts him back in his crib. "Here baby, let me take one of them." He states as he comes back over to the bed."
"Thanks J."
"Jayce?"
"Hmmm." JC looks up from the baby.
"How long do you think it will be before you change back? Or do you think this is a permanent thing?"
"I don't know. I was pregnant for a month and a half before I changed the first time so...who knows J."
"You know it doesn't matter to me, right? I love you no matter what." Justin meets JC's eyes. "I always have."
"Yes, J. I know. I love you too. Could you hand me a bottle. I think Rose here is getting a bit hungry."
Justin hands over a bottle and the two feed the baby boys in silence.
The nurse walks in, "Now this is what I like to see. Three sleeping babies, a sleeping momma and the daddy watching them all with pride written all over his face."
"Shhh...You'll wake them up." Justin whispers.
She takes the baby from JC and places it in his basinet, "Unfortunately, I gotta take some blood from her." She motions to JC.
"Oh, well, you're in luck then. You'll have an easier time with her asleep, trust me."
"Why's that?"
"She doesn't like needles."
"Oh, well....I'll try to be gentle and not wake her then."
"That would be great. Although she normally sleeps through anything."
The nurse takes the blood, as she's pulling the needle from JC's arm Rose begins to cry.
JC's eyes pop wide open and he sits up, "Where is she? What's wrong?"
The nurse pulls the baby's crib over to the bed, "I think she's needing a new diaper."
"K. She startled me." JC smiles.
Justin just stands there and stares at JC.
JC looks at him, "What's the matter J?"
"Nothing." Justin smiles and shakes his head.
The nurse smiles and walks out the door.
"You didn't wake up when she stuck that needle in your arm, but the minute Rose started whimpering you were wide awake. I can't believe you."
"Whatever J. Hand me a diaper and quit being a nut."
****Three Days Later****
"I can't believe they're letting you out of this place." Chris states. "They should be moving you down the hall instead."
"What are you babbling about Chris?"
"They should just put you in the nut house instead of letting you loose."
Lance smacks Chris in the back of the head, "When do the babies get to come home?"
"If they remain healthy, the doctor said they can go home before Thanksgiving."
"That's great. We can celebrate their coming home with Thanksgiving dinner. You know all the parents are coming in since you aren't gonna be able to go anywhere." Lance states.
"Yeah, well....some of them are gonna have to stay with you. I don't think I have enough room." JC says.
"Just get in the car already." Lance smiles.
JC gets in the car, "Why isn't J here?"
"He didn't say. Just said he'd be back by the time we got back."
JC puts his head back on the seat and closes his eyes. Chris and Lance smile at each other and remain quiet the rest of the way back to JC's house.
"Jayce, wake up. We're home." Lance shakes JC.
"Hmmm..."
"We're home. Come on. I am not carrying you." Chris yells.
JC gets out of the car, walks to the door and opens it.
"SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!!"
"Holy shit." JC yells. "Give me a heart attack why don't you all."
Justin comes over and grabs JC, "It's good to have you back home baby."
"It's good to be home." JC smiles, "Why are they all here? I was hoping we'd have a little time, just the two of us before we had to bring the babies home."
"We will, later. They aren't staying here tonight and most of them aren't staying for very long at all. They just wanted to see you and say congratulations." Justin whispers.
"Justin? Is this the lucky girl that finally caught the mighty Justin Timberlake?" Britney asks.
"Hey Brit. How you doing?" Justin groans.
"I'm good." She leans in and whispers to JC, "I know who you really are but I'm not sure who all here you've told so..."
"Thanks Brit," JC smiles. "How you doing?"
"I'm good. Bout time you two woke up and hooked up. Although, I don't think you needed to do everything all at once."
"What are you talking about?" Justin asks.
"Well, I can understand the getting married or the having the babies but why both so soon?"
"We didn't have a choice with the babies and the marriage was so quick because we didn't know how long we'd have to do it before he changed back." Justin answered.
"Oh, ok."
She walks away and JC shakes his head, "I always knew that girl wasn't the brightest bulb in the box."
"Be nice Rose." Justin smiles and Johnny walks up to them.
"Hi Justin. Why didn't you tell me about this? Do you have any idea what the fans are going to do when they find out you've gotten married and had children?"
"They don't need to know anything about me getting married and I don't care what you tell them about the babies. I can tell you that JC and I are going public that they are both mine and his, as soon as, or if he changes back."
"Oh, well..."
"Don't worry. We aren't going to just blurt it out but we aren't gonna hide it either." JC states.
"So you might want to get something prepared for when we hit the road and it hits the papers or whatever." Justin says.
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, you know there are reporters and shit everywhere. It's not gonna take that long before our relationship hits the tabloids." Justin answers.
Johnny walks away, "I'll deal with this later."
"We're in for a big problem aren't we?" JC asks.
"Yep, but I can deal with it, as long as I have you by my side." Justin wraps his arms around JC, "With you I can handle anything."
"I love you J."
"I love you too Jayce."
