Chapter 1: Carlos POV

"Carlos," I heard a whisper.

I opened my eyes to come face to face with my husband of now 17 years, Logan.

"Good morning," he smiled; his dimples making me melt still.

"Good morning hubby," I chuckled, sitting up. "And Happy Anniversary!"

"Happy Anniversary," he pecked my lips before also sitting up.

"17 wonderful years with you," I said, standing.

"Yeah, and 17 years of Ethan," Logan laughed, also standing.

"I guess I'll see if he's awake," I left our bedroom, walking down the hall to his room.

His door was closed, so I opened it to find him lying in bed, dead to the world and the blinds closed, so no light was coming in. I shook my head, laughing to myself.

"Ethan," I called.

No answer. I walked over to the window, opening the shades. He groaned as the light hit his face and he sat up.

"Poppps," he complained, once his eyes were open.

"Happy Birthday bud," I sat on the foot of his bed.

He just glared at me.

"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked.

"Sleep," he said simply.

I only laughed.

"Get up and come down for breakfast, will ya? Your dad and I have a surprise for you," I stood up, walking out of the room.

A lot has happened since the last time we talked, alas most of it was good. As you all know, I'm Carlos Mitchell, married to the super doctor, Logan Mitchell with my three kids, Ethan, Emma, and Evan. I'm sure you guessed that today was Ethan's birthday and now he's 17. Emma is 16, and my youngest Evan, who is 14.

Over the past 15 years, we've been living a pretty normal life compared to what brought us here in the first place. Since my premiere into the acting world with La Vida Robot, I've done plenty of movies since then and even a few TV spots, but other than that, I'm a stay at home dad. Logan makes all of the money, quickly becoming one of the most famous doctors in Los Angeles; I'm proud of him, he has the brain for it.

My kids have made me so happy over the years; I'm so proud of all of them. Ethan is a junior in high school, and so far he's in the top 20 of his class, but he is also a superstar athlete at his school, doing all that he can despite his Epilepy. Ethan looks more like me, but he has Logan's brains and hair. Emma is a sophomore and she had a little bit of trouble at first, but Logan has guided her and made her a studious student. The only thing that alarms me is that as she gets older, she looks a bit more like her other father, Dak Zevon, and her twin sister, Jade, is starting to look more like Logan.

And then there's Evan. Not only is he my miracle child since it was a gunshot that sent me into labor with him, but I've never met anyone that's like Logan, and Evan is that person. Incredibly smart, bound to be the top of his class, even though he's still in middle school, but like Ethan, he has my crazy personality and he's just fun to be around. I love all of my kids, but they all have something interesting about them.

Then there's Kendall and James. Like us, they got married on Ethan's birthday and we still live next door to them after all these years; we're still as close as we've always been. Kendall is a stay at home dad like I am, so typically since we don't really have to stay home for our kids anymore, we go out during the day and just have fun or chill together. James, along with acting like I do, also models still, so he is still very famous and still in the spotlight.

As for their kids, Jade is their oldest and Emma's twin sister. She was adopted by Kendall and James after Logan had her and Emma. The only reason they don't know that they're twins is because of Jade's red hair, and we haven't told them the truth about they're real fathers, but we assume that we should soon before they find out themselves and get upset. They also have Adam, their 15 year old and Evan's best friend.

After Adam, Kendall and James settled for just those two after getting adjusted to their crazy schedules. As for us…we figured that three kids were enough, especially with the stress of everything that was going on at the time.

Big Time Rush, the whole reason we're even living in L.A. After our comeback album and tour, we had released one more album and had two more tours. After releasing Unbroken Feelings, we were back on top of the charts. People had really wanted us back at that time, but after that, we all decided that it was time to really call it quits. Big Time Rush had a good run, but we ended it while we were still going strong, you know, to keep the legacy alive.

So here we are, and who knows what life will hold next?

"Carlos, can you hand me to butter out of the fridge?" Logan asked.

I walked to the fridge, getting the butter for Logan before handing it to him.

"What are you making?" I asked, paying attention to the hash browns I was making.

"Pancakes of course," he said. "It's my specialty, but you can't see them until their done okay."

"So, what do you want me to do? Leave the kitchen until you call me?" I joked.

"Yeah," he nodded.

My smile dropped.

"Really? What about my hash browns?

"I'll finish them, I just want this breakfast to be special," Logan pleaded.

"Yeah yeah," I chuckled, leaving the kitchen.

"And don't let the kids in either," Logan called.

I nodded, taking a seat on the couch next to Sydney.

"Hey Syd," I petted her.

She relaxed into my touch and I sat there petting her. She had gray hair now; she was an old dog. She's like 16 years old, I'm sure that's past the life expectancy for her breed, but I'm going to keep her with me as long as I can.

I heard a clattering and Fox, Kendall and James' dog (technically), ran into our living room and jumped onto the couch next to me.

"Hey Foxy," I petted him too.

Ok, so both of our families backyards are connected, but kind of separated by a small gate. There's a hole in that gate, so since the dogs discovered that, they've been running through and running into whichever house they feel like due to the dog holes on the back doors. So one morning Fox will be in my bed, and another morning Sydney, then Sydney and Fox. We know they aren't going to run away and if they aren't here they're at Kendall and James' house so we don't worry.

"Good morning Papi. Happy anniversary!" Emma sat down next to me, hugging me.

"Thanks sweetie," I hugged her back.

Emma is my little princess. She's my only daughter, and even still she isn't my daughter, but I've convinced myself that she is, so I'm sticking with it; legally, she is my daughter.

"Is Ethan up?" she asked.

"He probably won't come down until he hears someone call 'breakfast',' I chuckled.

"That's my brother," she shook her head, turning on the TV.

I nodded in agreement, turning my attention to the TV. A few minutes later, Logan called us into the kitchen. Emma and I got up and walked into the kitchen where, he had plates of pancakes around the table with plates over top of them.

"Go where your name is and then sit," Logan instructed with a smile.

We gave him a look, but did as he said. I started to uncover my plate, but he stopped me.

"Not yet," he said. "Where are the boys?"

"Ethan! Evan! Get your butts down here!" Emma yelled.

A few seconds later, you could hear the two, bickering about something. They appeared in the doorway and they were both grabbing onto something and fighting over it.

"I just need it!" Ethan yelled.

"Why? It's mine!" Evan yelled back. "I'm smaller than you anyway!"

"It's for a friend, now give it! It's my birthday!" Ethan yelled.

"Boys," Logan tried getting their attention.

When that didn't work, I tried.

"Boys," I said a little louder.

Emma just rolled her eyes at her two brothers. I got up and walked over to them.

"Boys, sit down! Your father has something for us!" I yelled, yanking the shirt from both of their grips and throwing it in the living room.

They looked terrified from the way I raised my voice. I found that funny. They sat down like I had said and Logan talked.

"First, Happy Birthday Ethan," Logan smiled.

"Happy Anniversary Dad and Pops," he replied.

"Thanks. Now since we have three happy events today, I made us a special breakfast, with custom made pancakes," Logan sat down.

"What?" All four of us looked at him, confused.

"Just uncover your plates," he chuckled.

I did and smiled at what I saw. The way he had made the pancake, it said 'Happy Anniversary' and then he made a smiley face with the rest of my food. Crafty, yet delicious.

"Thanks Logie," I couldn't help but smile. "I love you."

"Yeah, thanks Dad," Ethan smiled.

I'm assuming his said 'Happy Birthday', though I wasn't sure what Emma or Evan's would have said.

"So, what's the plan?" Logan asked as we all started Ethan.

"Well, Ethan did you want to go somewhere tonight for dinner?" I looked at him.

"I can go out with some friends," Ethan said. "I know how you two and Uncle James and Kendall like to have your anniversary date nights."

He looked at me knowingly. He's getting too old for his own good.

"We want to spend time with you too," I said.

"I know pops," he smiled. "It's fine, really. Just this breakfast is enough for me."

I shrugged. That's the thing about Ethan. He can be so mature, and then the next minute, so immature; kind of like how he was fighting over a shirt with Evan when he walked in. We finished eating in silence.

As we started cleaning up the kitchen, Ethan came over to me.

"So pops, the only reason I got out of bed was because you said something about a surprise?" he grinned.

"Yeah," I smiled. "Wait here."

I ran upstairs and grabbed the mini gift bag. I brought it back downstairs and walked over to Ethan with Logan right beside me.

"Ethan, you're 17 now and I know things weren't easy for you with your epilepsy," Logan said.

"You're mostly responsible and we think you deserve this," I held out the bag to him.

He took it, opening it and pulled out a set of car keys. His eyes widened before his face broke out in a smile.

"Did you really?" he looked at us.

"Driveway," I smirked.

He ran past us and opened the front door, smiling as he saw the Black Audi A4 sitting in the driveway with a green (his favorite color) bow on top. He turned to look at us and hugged us both.

"Thanks," he smiled.

"You deserve it," Logan said.

"Does this mean I get a car when I turn 17?" Emma asked.

"At least you can drive," Evan reminded her.

"Do you want to test drive it?" I asked, ignoring my other children.

"Yeah, but first we have something for you two," Ethan walked back in the house, Evan and Emma behind him.

They came back with something wrapped and handed it to me.

"You three didn't have to get us something," Logan said.

"It's homemade," Emma smiled.

"Even better," I smiled.

I unwrapped it to reveal a photo album. We started to look through it. It had pictures of all three kids together as they grew up, them individually and even some family photos.

"We know you two didn't have much time to organize the pictures after the album of us as toddlers," Ethan said.

"So we did it for you," Evan said.

"We know it isn't much, but we love you guys and we always want you guys to keep the memories," Emma explained.

"We love it," Logan smiled. "It's perfect."

I nodded in agreement. This was actually really sweet of them, especially coming from my kids. Emma is the only one to really show affection so I think this is pretty great. Logan and I pulled the kids into a group hug.

"I was the cutest kid wasn't I pops?" Evan asked.

I laughed, nodding my head.

"Sure Evan," I ruffled his hair.

"Not to break up the nice family moment, but I want to go test drive my new car," Ethan grabbed his keys.

"I'm going," Emma and Evan said.

The door opened and Kendall and James walked in, followed by Jade and Adam.

"Hey family," James walked in.

We all gave assorted greetings and then we exchanged happy anniversaries and birthdays.

"Have you driven the car yet?" James asked Ethan.

"I was just about to go now," he grabbed his keys again. "Adam? Jade? Do you two want to go too?"

"Duh," Adam smiled.

"Of course," Jade nodded.

"Shotgun!" Adam and Evan yelled at the same time, racing out of the door.

"Be careful," I called after them.

"Always pops," Ethan smiled before closing the door.

That just left Kendall, James, Logan, and I.

"Plans for tonight?" Logan asked after they were gone.

"Ethan's not having a party or anything?" Kendall asked.

"Nope, he's just going to go out with some friends," I shrugged.

"Okay then, we could make it simple and go out for dinner and then just relax with the kids gone," Kendall said.

"Works for me. Unless you two have something planned," I raised an eyebrow, gazing at Logan and James.

They shared a look before looking back at us.

"Nope, we didn't have much planned," James laughed a little.

"Okay then it's settled," We all agreed.

TIME SKIP

"You're warm," I cuddled into Logan's side as we sat watching a movie with Kendall and James.

We had just come back from a pretty fancy dinner and as soon as we got home, we all changed into sweatpants and t-shirts and we went back to Kendall and James' house to watch a movie together.

Ethan, Erika, Emma, and Jade went to the mall with all of their friends and Evan and Adam went to stay the night at Jett and Trevor's with Alex. Speaking of Jett and Trevor, they're our other neighbors and we became quick friends with Jett after he and Logan were both raped by Dak Zevon, Jett had Erika and then met Trevor, who he married and had three kids with; Alex who was born the same day as Adam, and Zack and Zora, their twins that are both 10.

Jett and Trevor came by earlier and we talked for a little while. They're also really great friends.

Anyway, to make a long story short, all of the kids are out of both houses and the four of us are alone. I do miss them all being little and needing us for every little thing, but now that they're older and can do things for themselves, it really feels good to have that short break.

The movie ended when Kendall and James started to make out on the couch. The movie was almost over anyway.

"Happy Anniversary guys," Logan laughed as we walked out.

We went back to our house and walked inside. I had almost forgotten that no one was here right now.

"When was the last time the house was this quiet?" I asked.

"This may be the first time," Logan joked.

"Yeah, the kids are growing up," I picked up the photo album, flipping through it. "I mean can you believe that Ethan is 17?"

"In a year, he'll be a legal adult," Logan said, letting that hang in the air.

We both shuddered at the thought and then laughed.

"Seriously though, I'm really proud of the young man that he's becoming," Logan said.

"I know, it's kind of surreal," I said. "We're raising three kids and in a year, one of them will be an adult."

"We've also been married for forever," Logan joked.

"Yeah, but that's okay, I don't mind spending forever with you," I kissed him.

He grinned deviously.

"Logie, what are you thinking?" I asked, even though I already knew.

"I'm thinking that it's our anniversary, the kids are out, and there's two hours until their curfew," Logan smirked.

"I'll meet you upstairs," I got up.

"Wait," Logan pulled my arm.

"We have the whole house to ourselves, and beds are so boring," Logan winked.

"Oh, Doctor Mitchell I like the way you think," I wrapped my arms around his neck, kissing him.

"Kitchen table?" he asked between kisses.

"We eat on that," I laughed before kissing him again.

"We can clean it later," He said. "And round two could be all over this living room. If you're really daring, round three could be in one of the kid's rooms, like a punishment for not cleaning their rooms."

I laughed, but it was really turning me on.

"That's mean," I laughed, grabbing his crotch.

He moaned, kissing me deeper.

"Fine, round three in the shower," he panted, picking me up and carrying me into the kitchen for round one.
