Nick laughed when he felt the baby kicking within Kristina. He was
experiencing the joy of life once more with Kristina. Knowing that he
in turn wanted this child to be Justin's so it wouldn't ruin the
family, deep down he did wish it was his. Another child would be
wonderful.
"Wow its kicking up a storm."
"Whenever I'm pregnant, they kick the crap out of me." Justin stood
by and watched the two with a twinge of jealousy. Things had been
working out for them but he couldn't help but look on with slits in
his eyes. He just shook his head and walked out of the room. He
prayed to God that the child Kristina was carrying was his. If he
hadn't fucked up and caused the split up they wouldn't be in this
predicament. Justin walked into the living room and sat down. In the
other room was some cartoon playing. There on the couch was little J
and Nick's son Armand. J was talking more than he had ever heard him
talk before. Apparently he had grown a liking to Armand. Justin sat
there with a smile listening to him. What was he thinking? It was bad
enough Lou pitted them against each other, he was just making things
worse by feeling the way he felt toward him, Kristina and this child.
J and Armand had no clue of it all, instead enjoying one another's
company. Justin got up from the couch and grabbed two beers before
joining Kristina and Nick outside.
"Here dude" Justin said passing Nick the beer.
"Thanks man." The sound of Kristina's cell phone in the kitchen
caught her attention. She was a little apprehensive about leaving
them alone together but whoever it was on the phone wouldn't let up.
"Hey guys I'll be right back ok?" Kristina got up from the swing to
answer her phone. Both sat a little in silence before Justin spoke up.
"Look dude if I've been a dick, let me apologize. This is a funny
situation but whatever the outcome is we're gon' make it, you know?"
"Yup, that I know."
"So….J and Armand look like they're having a good time in there."
"Yeah I noticed, maybe we could set up another play date for the two
or something."
"Yeah sure" Justin chuckled a little.
"What?"
"Would you have ever imagined back in the day when Lou managed us
that we'd be trying to figure out if we were the father of a child by
the same woman? Or that we'd be setting up play dates for our
children?"
"Never" Nick laughed. "Lou would flip his wig."
"Good, money hungry fat bastard" both laughed from their past
treatment of Lou Pearlman who did both bands pretty scandalous.
"Whoa, whoa Krys, Krys calm down!"
"CALM DOWN?! I HAVE A MONSTER COMING OUT OF ME!! HOW CAN I CALM
DOWN?!"
"Krystal you're contractions aren't even that close together. You
probably have some time before the baby is born."
"DON'T SAY NO SHIT LIKE THAT!!!! TIME!!! I WANT IT OUT NOW!!!"
"Well too bad for you, cuz it sounds like you're gonna have that baby
in there for a little bit."
"UGH!!!" Sure childbirth was painful but Krystal was going a little
overboard. "JUST MEET US AT THE HOSPITAL!!!"
"Fine, fine, jeez." Kristina hung her phone and approached the yard
where Nick and Justin were sharing a laugh. A laugh? They
were….laughing? Together? Now that was interesting.
"Uh…..should I ask?" Justin and Nick looked at one another.
"No."
"Ok…well, that was Krystal, baby Bass is on its way. She wants us to
meet her at the hospital."
"What?! Ok, um yeah let me get my keys."
"Wait the kids!"
"I can watch them for you if you want."
"Nick this might be awhile."
"I have nothing on my plate tonight, plus Alesha and Justina have
been tempting me with cookies."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah its cool."
"Ugh you're a lifesaver, thank you! We'll try to get back as soon as
we can."

Everyone cringed at the sound of Lance screams. Yes I said Lance's
screams. Poor boy was getting abused by Krystal while she was giving
birth. She wanted him to feel the pain as she had. And boy did he
feel it. You could hear her all the way down the hall screaming, "I'm
never having any more children!!" Then it grew quiet. Everyone turned
to face each other wondering what happened. With Alexandria's death
made everyone a little apprehensive of everything. They were a little
worried of J.C. and Dez being there while Krystal was having her
child but they assured everyone that they were happy for the couple
and that they would be able to handle it all.
"I wonder what's going on?" Joey asked. The sound of the bursting OR
doors caught everyone's attention. Lance popped out all bloody and
bruised with a huge smile on his face.
"IT'S A BOY!!" he smiled. Everyone smiled along with him…but dared
not to touch him, ew.
"Ugh that's great Lance! I'm so happy for you, but um…you're pretty
gooey."
"Oh that, well I helped deliver him, plus some of this is mine from
Krystal scratching and clawing at me."
"Ouch."
"Well give us a few and you can come and see him." After the nurses
cleaned him up, weighed him and took his prints, the guys and girls
got to meet Ephraim James Bass. He was the perfectly little mix of
his mommy and daddy. He had a hair full of sandy brown hair, toffee
skin and bright brown eyes. He laid peacefully in his mother's arms
as they all swindled over him in awe. A little sadness and happiness
filled the room. Krystal, Kristina and Dez were all pregnant at the
same time, eating whatever their eyes fell on and complained about
swollen ankles only to have two of the three children with them. But
even with it all Dez and J.C. were happy for Lance and Krystal.
Another hour was spent with the new parents before heading back home
to relieve Nick. He was a sight for sore eyes when they walked in.
How they did it was beyond both Justin and Kristina but there on the
couch was Nick, Justina, Alesha, J and Armand all knocked out on the
couch in front of the television. That part was adorable, the odd
part? Nick was covered in makeup. Red lips, pink blush, blue eye
shadow, fake eyelashes and pearl earrings with matching necklace
Justina took off of one of her dolls. Justin tried to hold his
laughter, where was a camera when you needed one?
"Justin stop!" Kristina whispered. That caused Nick to wake up. Once
he realized where he was he settled down a bit. "Uh…" Nick remembered
what was on his face.
"Don't say one word."
