James peered through the window as Kendall drove; counting the cars that went by, wondering. Wondering what L.A was really going to be like. Was it going to be the wonderful and enticing place that people from Minnesota always made it out to be? Or would it be that disgusting, unkempt place that his mother, Brooke Diamond, had always made it out to be?

His mother owned her own cosmetics line, which in its success, had caused her to travel nation-wide and she never came home with anything special to say about L.A. New York was perfect for her, but L.A was not. Judging by that, James would have said no in a heartbeat. But his father, Mark, always told him that L.A was the city of Angeles. He used to lay James down in bed at night, crawl into the tiny race-car bed, and tell him about this magical city where dreams came true. A city where supermodels walked the streets, exotic food stands lined the streets, the sun always shined… and James loved every ounce of it. Sure he had Kendall, so the supermodel part wasn't a big factor anymore, but James loved Italian food and it was proved a difficult task to try and find decent Italian in Minnesota. The stunning brunette also loved being tan, so the 'sun always shining' part was an extra bonus.

But as he sat there in the passenger seat of Mama K's minivan (She lent it to Kendall to take all 7 of them to the airport, plus their luggage) James's compassionate mind migrated on to the kids. How were the kids going to handle this?

Well, Nick seems fine… He thought as he glanced to the very back seat where each of the three kids were playing with their little Rango Toys that they got from McDonalds. Nick would probably not mind at all. Considering that he was bringing his best friend, 'secret' crush and father along. Dylan was slightly upset about leaving Phoebe, who just happened to be Faith's best friend. Faith was the questioning one. She really wasn't enjoying the thought of no snow.

She loved the snow with all of her little heart and James couldn't help but remembered last winter.

~Flashback~

"Daddy!" The little redhead giggled wildly as her daddy threw light flakes of snow above her hat-covered head.

James laughed and continued his actions until Faith managed to throw a less-than-developed snowball at his chest. He pretended to faint and fell onto the soft snow, an eye cracking open in time to see his little girl jump on his strong chest and clasp his face with snow covered mittens.

"That's cold!" He declared and scrunched his nose. She just giggled and leaned down to hug him around the neck.

"I love you, daddy." She told him with a beaming smile worthy of Hollywood.

James beamed back. "Love you, sweetheart. Now let's dance!" He ignored her half laugh half cries of protests when he picked her up and set her down on top of a snow mound in their back yard, grabbing both her little hands in his and shaking from side to side, loving her wild laughter as she started jumping up and down.

~End of Flashback~

A small, content smile braced James's lips as he continued to stare out the window. He couldn't ever remember a time when he was happier than when he was with his family. Before, his family used to be Faith, Haley and himself. Now he had a new family. Faith, himself and Nick and Kendall. He liked to think that he got a bonus 2 for 1 deal with Kendall, because he got an amazing son. Of course, that made the idea of Nick liking Faith a little awkward, but as long as they were still this age, it was nothing short of adorable. When they got older though… James was going to have to talk to that boy.

His attention was brought away from the window when he heard Carlos and Kendall start belting out some rock song.

Well I'm not paralyzed but I seem to be struck by you
I wanna make you move because you're standin' still
If your body matches what your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through me on my way to you

It wasn't long before Logan joined and the kids in the back began to yell out shouts of approval and Dylan ended up laughing till he cried when his daddy began to head bang.

"Okay, okay, okay!" James hollered over the music at his boyfriend, who had quickly begun to want to out-head bang Logan. "You're driving, Kendall. I would like to be able to see L.A before I die!" He joked and secretly loved the pout that came over the gorgeous lips that were harbored under that abnormally large nose. He wanted to kiss that nose.

So that's what he did.

"What was that for?" Kendall asked when James pulled back and giggled lightly at the blush that crept up the blonde's cheeks and neck… and ears.

James smiled. "Honey, you give new meaning to the definition of 'edible'." He told him.

"Eww!" Carlos shouted loudly and tossed a piece of McDonald's chicken at James's face. "Get a room!"

The car exploded with laughter, but James could still see Carlos sneaking his hand across the seat and over to grab Logan's butt. Logan yelped but grinned back none the less and the taller brunette was almost positive he saw the smarter one wink at the Latino.

"Well, we're here." Kendall told the car and turned the music down so they could all get a good look at the airplane in front of them.

Gustavo had sent them a private jet because he didn't want others to have to deal with people complaining about having to sit by 'four hockey-heads and their little minions' on the flight. James had to admit, the plane looked pretty amazing. At least, better then Delta or Atlantic.

"I can't see it!" Nick exclaimed from the back seat, folding his arms stubbornly over his chest and letting loose a huff. Faith tapped his shoulder and tilted his head up to look through the sky roof. The little brunette blushed but smiled back at Faith.

Oh yeah, he was definitely Kendall's son.

Speaking of Kendall, the blonde had still been acting strangely sense the camping trip. And James wasn't sure what happened. But Kendall did just convince their friends and families to drop their dreams and fly out to L.A with him and James to make the latter famous. Hell, Kendall even gave up his own dream for James and if that wasn't love, James wasn't sure what was.

Kendall pulled the car into park in front of the airplane and a bulky man with yellow rimmed sunglasses and a pretty lady by his side was waiting for them, caring a scowl.

"You're late!" He barked at them as Logan and Kendall were the first to exit the car.

Kendall rolled his eyes. "We have kids. Kids! It's a rare occasion that we actually get anywhere on time. Not to mention that we have 3!"

Logan started unpacking the trunk while Kendall continued to bicker with their new manager. James could already tell he was going to have to watch out for that later.

"You coming?" Logan asked Carlos as he lifted Dylan's suitcase outta the trunk.

Carlos nodded excitedly and unclasped his seatbelt.

"Hold up!" James told him before turning back to Logan. "I need to talk to him for a moment. Kay?"

Logan nodded. "Alright but don't take too long. Kendall's already signing a death wish. Come on, Dylan."

"Dad! I want to see the Hollywood stars on that street thingy!" Dylan exclaimed as she leaned over the back of the seat.

Logan chuckled. "I'm sure we'll get to that. But first we gotta get there." Dylan crawled out of the car and grabbed his suitcase from Logan, who returned to unloading the car.

"Carlos?"

"Yes, Jamie?"

James had to use an effort not to make a remark about that Jamie-thing. "What did you tell Kendall at the camping trip?"

Carlos's face fell. "Oh… well, I kinda saw you kiss your ex."

Now James's heart fell. "WHAT? And you told him?"

"He's one of my best friends!" Carlos shouted in defense.

"So am I!"

"Well…"

"Carlos!"

"Sorry." The two sat in silence for a moment before it clicked in side James's head.

Kendall wasn't acting like someone who just found out about their partner kissing their ex. Kendall was just acting slightly vindictive, that's all. It was odd, to say the least.

James shook his head and climbed out of the car. "Faith? Let's go." Faith climbed out the car with Nick and Carlos. She grabbed her little Sleeping Beauty suitcase and ran at full speed ahead to the plane, jumping into Kendall's arms on the way over. That was something that James would never get tired of seeing. He loved how his daughter seemed to just connect with his boyfriend. It's what made them the perfect family.

Carlos walked Nick over to the plane with James and the 7 of them (plus Gustavo and Kelly) entered the airplane.

"Wow!" Faith gaped in awe and Kendall shook his head with a grin, setting her on one of the plush leather seats.

"You like it, kiddo?" The blonde asked.

Faith nodded her head eagerly and Kendall kissed her forehead before coming over to James and giving him a chaste kiss on the lips.

They all took their seats, Carlos, Logan and Dylan sitting in the back where they discussed all the rules that Logan was going to set for his boyfriend and son so that they didn't both end up in some sort of L.A Prison. The Diamonds and the Knights sat at the front while Gustavo and Kelly were in-between both groups. Just as the plane was about to take off, all the kids ended up running over to sit by themselves at the windows, leaving the two couples alone to themselves.

Kendall laid his head on James's shoulder and sighed with a soft smile.

"Kendall?"

"Yeah?"

James took a gulp of a breath. "I know Carlos told you that I kissed Haley."

Kendall tensed up for a moment before looking up at James. "Yeah, he did. But I'm not angry."

"Why? I mean, I technically cheated on you! You should be crying your eyes out and I should be leaping into your rescue, sweeping you off your miserable-ass feet and making you ride me till you see stars!" The brunette exclaimed for reasons he wasn't sure but he didn't fail to miss the grunt coming from Gustavo, shy smile from Kelly, or the multiple giggles from Carlos and Logan.

Kendall just looked at him, suddenly pulling out his phone and putting it to his ear. "Hello? Yeah… okay, I'll tell him." He said without breaking eye contact or breaking his blank stare at James and hanging up his phone. "Cupid called. He says to tell you that it's not my fault I fell in love. You are the one that tripped me."

James's mind took a moment to process what was said but after it was processed, his hormonal urges failed and he assaulted the blonde's lips with his, leaning him back till Kendall's back hit the side of the plane. "How did I get so lucky as to have you?" He asked as he caressed the other's cheek with his thumb.

Kendall chuckled. "I believe you ran into me at the school and you fell on your butt, making me feel guilty and helping you up."

"Nun uh!" James protested. "I believe it was you who fell on your butt and I helped you up."

"You fell."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"James?"

"Yes, babe?"

"You fell." The two left it at that, not really remembering who fell but knowing with all their well-being that whatever happened had happened for the best because they were brought together.

Kendall was stuck with that bitchy ex-wife of his, a dirty-routing father and troublesome little boy who liked to play pranks on James's little angel. But now Kendall had everything he'd wanted. He had best friends, his father gone, and his son finally finding another role model… he might have not been able to live his dream of playing professional hockey but he always secretly loved singing. Singing in the shower, singing in the car, singing his little sister to sleep when she couldn't sleep… singing with James. Kendall smiled at knowing that James was his. No one could take that away from the blonde. Because James was his heart.

Carlos? Carlos was honestly just happy to have best friends. He never really had friends when he was a security guard at the school and the ones he did, they were just little kids like Dylan. And even though he was going to miss his grandma every day, he knew Logan was his love ticket to happiness. Hell, he didn't even need a ticket. Logan was his missing half that he'd been without for so long.

Logan looked out the window as Carlos laid his head in his lap, snoring not to long after. Carlos… his Carlos. What would he do without him? He used to be boring, stuck in the mud dad until he met the Latino. Logan's life with Camille was party crazy and disappointing. Actually, it was just a letdown in general. Now, Logan knew how live for himself and still be happy. Carlos was him. He was the sun that shun above and if Logan ever doubted it, all he had to do was look into those indescribable chocolate orbs.

James knew from experience that life wasn't perfect. He went through so much with Haley and her issues. So much in fact that a part of him thought he'd never recover from it. But he did. He made it to the point of pure bliss. Pure bliss in life, love… sex. It was all in his favor now. He had been lost before, but now had the world in the palm of his hands. Now he saw nothing but that beautiful world ahead in Kendall's smile, his eyes, his laugh, his attitude… his everything.

Looking around the plane as Kendall soundly passed out on his shoulder, if James had one last thought it would be the trust statement of his life.

Life's what you make it.

Okay, that's it. For now, at least. Like I said the sequel will be out on Wednesday. I love you all so much for reading this and sticking through with it till the very end, even through all my ups and downs, you guys that have stuck, you're, in word… awesome. The best actually. But now you should review because this was the last chapter! :D I know one girl that would greatly appreciate it!

With much love,

Evie.
