What's with all the Kevin stories lately? :P

I enjoyed this chapter. It's interesting to see Nick's knee-jerk jealousy crop up. I imagine it's increased by the fact that it's Kevin. Had it been any other guy he probably wouldn't have been concerned about Jake being with him but he has to compete with Kevin.

See I don't like Kevin in this. Jake is Nick's son not his & it seems like Shay wants to keep Nick away from Jacob too. He should go to court & sue for joint custody. Keep up the great work.

This is going to get SO messy. I don't know if I like this whole "Nick is Jake's father but Kevin is dating Shay" thing. It's just weird to me. Thanks for another chapter.

Author's Response: It's going to get BAD messy. And yeah it's a weird love triangle...almost as weird as Twilight--who gets the hots for a vampire AND a werewolf? What happened to a normal human guy? LoL.

"It's not that," he said quietly. It was amazing how his deep voice seemed to vibrate even when he whispered. "You just look so beautiful with your face flushed from the wind and that smile."
Holy macaroni and cheese, Batman!
---LOVED this HOLY thing! Oh Kevin doing that.. oh Lord... OH BOY!


''It was the first full lip-on-lip kiss I had gotten from Kevin. After a month full of cheek and hand kisses, I wasn't prepared for how delicious his real kiss would be. I'm surprised I didn't explode right then and there; it had been too long and it was just that good. It suddenly seemed ridiculous that I was wearing a scarf; it was warm...hot actually. As the kiss slowed, he drew out three smaller kisses, practically taking me across the table with him I was so wanton.
Unfortunately, our lips did end up becoming two separate beings again. The look on Kevin's face almost brought me to my knees. There was no misinterpretation.
He wanted me.''
---JESUS!!!! IMAGINING KEVIN DOING THAT.. LORD.. POOR SHAY!



''Ugh, it broke my heart. I was sitting in Shay's living room with Jake on my lap and he was wearing (I shudder to even say it) a Bulls jersey. The Celtics and Bulls were playing against each other and my son (my son!) was rooting for the enemy.''
---hahahha it's a PAYBACK Carter! hhaha


''The maintenance guy had come and gone. After going on and on for a half hour how he had never seen anything like it, he did two little things (I don't knowwhat exactly) and the leak was fixed.''
--it is ALWAYS that simple....



''I was going to have to have a serious talk with Shay. There was no way Jake could go through life rooting for the Bulls. It might take some time, but I was going to get my little guy in a green jersey by his fourth birthday.''
--sounds like a plan... a serious an a lifetime plan!


''I didn't bother to tell him we'd be sitting on the Celtics court when I made this dream come true. Little details didn't matter.''
---NAH!



''The front door was wide open. Kevin's hands were on either side of Shay, faux-pinning her against the wall. His lips were busily sucking her neck.
"What are you, part vampire?" I blurted. Shay's eyes flew open. The flush that was spread across her cheeks was familiar. I had caused a similar blush before.''
---He HAD causED.. past....


''Kev didn't move as quickly as Shay. His head turned lazily and he grinned at me. It was a cocky grin.
"Did you get the shower fixed?"
---OHHHH it hurts... he must sing Shattered now... DO IT! Oh the sweet jealous bug is running thru his veins.... delicious! Oh Kevin....


''My pride was at stake. I stood up straight. "Of course. I'm so glad that you both doubted me."
"You really fixed it?" Kevin asked in surprise.
"Of c--"
"The tubby guy came and he banged-ed on the wall a few times and got the drippies to stop."
We all looked down at Jake. He smiled adorably, lifted his jersey and started slapping his tummy.
"I want a hot doooooog!"
---hahahha he is awesome just like that! Love Jake!



''My hands clenched into fists. It wasn't fair. I had shit I had to do. We were recording the new album, we had rehearsals for the AMA's for the whole NKOTBSB thing, and I had my solo album promotion to start thinking about. There was no way I could stay in Chicago.
Kevin was going to get to play house with Jake and Shay while I...
While I was left out in the cold.''
---Trouble is.... what shattered.... it's UNDONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


NEXT!

Author's Response: This was the 'I'm gonna torture Nick Carter' chapter. LoL. And the 'Landon is flippin adorable' chapter. :)

I <3 spikey haired Kevin. I would have SO been a goner.

your story is great.  can't wait to see what happens next!

Thanks for the update. Man, this is so complicated but I'm loving it. :)

Author's Response: Totally complicated! :)

LORD! Trouble is....


"How many things have you fixed in your life Nick?" Kev asked. "If I remember correctly, every time something breaks, your solution is just to move."
I scowled. "That's not the reason I move so much."
"You move more than the nomads!"
---I will have so much fun with Richardson and Carter fighting. In fact, they fight for many under things....



"I'm going to fix it," I said proudly. Jake was watching me in awe. I felt the epicness of the moment. The future of my son's cleanliness was now resting in my hands.''
--Carter is epic. Period.


"Tell you what," Kev drawled after another minute of me fumbling around. "Why don't you show your son here how a real man fixes a tub while I take Shay out to a movie."
--Kev is good.... he is sneaky!



''Any girl in her right mind would be in heaven if she had two guys in her shower. Unfortunately, I had lost my mind years ago. The tension was building between Nick and Kevin as they fought for the title of 'tub fixer.' Kevin was trying to be helpful and Nick was being stubborn. Currently, he was finging my showerhead and looking right at me. The sight wasn't near as sexy as it sounds. I was one hundred percent positive he had no clue where to even begin.''
---You lost, you can find your mind back.. with all this craziness around.... men and all..



''Ten minutes later, Nick was still fiddling in the bathroom. Jake was sitting on the toilet watching Nick as if he was Zeus. I knelt down next to him.''
---Dad thing... got to respect.


"And what's the number you call if someone's hurt?"
Jake's fingers slid out of his mouth. "9-1-1!"
I smiled. "Very good."
"We won't be needing 9-1-1," Nick said. We looked at each other. I hated that his eyes still made me weak; I was such a sucker for blues and greens. I swear to God that Nick was still the king of 'fuck me' eyes.''
---Oh Shay... Jake is Carter all around, and she still have not ended feelings for the blond... oh those eyes.


''But then again, Kevin had cornered part of the 'bedroom eyes' market. And Kevin hadn't called me a fatass. The blue eyes that were chipping away the ice around my heart had said that...and so much more. I stood up.''
---Oh Kevin is good... those eyes and that voice... oh Shay...



''That was just the first of many mistakes. I ended up snapping the head completely off. The second mistake was forgetting to shut off the main water supply. The third mistake was neglecting to tell Jake not to play with the water handles.
"I like when this goes up and then it goes woosh!" he explained. I've got to admit, I wasn't paying attention. I was staring at copper tubes in dismay. What Idid pay attention to was the so called 'woosh' and the geyser of water that came out and rained down on us both.''
---*shaking head* it was ASKING for happen.



''I dropped all the little bits and pieces I had in my hand, scooped him up and hopped out of the tub. My sneakers made a gross squishing sound. Jake made little spitting sounds against my face. Our hair was plastered to our foreheads.
"Should I call 9-1-1?" Jake asked. I couldn't help it; I laughed.
"Not yet," I said. "Not yet."
---Not YET! Lord... Jake had the time of his young life! Imagining him saying to mommy what they did...



''I was totally in love with Jake. The more I saw of him, the less I wanted to leave him. I wished things weren't so complicated. But how much more complicated could they get? I was in a serious relationship with one hell of an awesome girl. One of my best friends was dating the mother of my child and scoring brownie points with my son. I was inept at fixing household shit.
And I couldn't get Shay's sultry brown eyes out of my mind.
Problems? You bet your sweet ass.''
---Oh Carter... this will get MESSY!!!! Jake is a doll.. a Carter doll...
Oh Jen... these eyes: bedroom eyes, 'fuck me' eyes, sultry brown eyes .... WHAT'S UP WITH THE EYES! LOL
You have issues with bath things... hahahah

MORE!

Author's Response: The eyes are the window to the soul Gabby!

And oh yes, Jake will have things to tell his momma, lol
