------4 Months Later-------
"Okay, if we leave now we can see them onstage," Vanessa said as the girls got ready to leave for the "Men Strike Back" concert.
"I knew I should have taken that first baby-sitter!" Dee said. She had called everyone she knew and none could watch the babies.
"No you shouldn't have! You didn't trust her and we're not leaving the babies with someone you don't trust!" Kris said.
"Let me call Bri and tell him we're running late. You guys can call your men," Dee said picking up Paige as Kelly held Kyler. "Bri?" she said into her cell phone.
"Baby? Where are you!?" he asked, his voice full of worry.
"Babe, I couldn't find a trustworthy baby-sitter, so I'm bringing Paige and Kyler with us," She said.
"Okay-I'll get to see all my babies!" he gushed, "Are you gonna make the first performance?"
"Uh, yeah..." she said just before Paige threw up on her, "Uh..babe, check that cause our daughter just took the liberty of showing me her dinner! You know how 7 month olds are,"
"Uh..Dee, your son is in on it too!" Kelly said, "Howie, babe I gotta go cause Kyler decided to puke on me!" Bye babe! Good luck! See ya in a bit! Love ya!"
"Okay, Bri, now our son joined in and puked on his aunt Kels so, we'll be later than planned. Sorry, "She said kinda loud as both babies started crying.
"Don't worry about it! Just as long as my family's here. Our mom's are waiting to see their grandkids," Brian said.
"Okay, we'll be there as soon as I get the babies cleaned up and Kels and I change. Good luck! Love ya! Bye,"
"K, love you too! Kiss my kids for me! Bye!" they hung up and Dee had Kris and Vanessa help her with the babies as Kelly changed. Then everyone watched the babies as Dee changed. About an hour later everyone was ready and out the door.

------30 Min. Later------
"There's your grandma!" Dee said as she handed Paige to her mom and Kyler to Jackie, "Now, with two babies you'll have to rotate!" she hugged both moms.
"Wait! Can grandpa's get in on this?" her dad and Harold came up.
"Hey daddy!" she hugged her dad and then Harold, "Hey look! Uncles too!" she hugged Victor (who had recently broken up with Britanny for obvious reasons *cough* fake! *cough*) and Harold Jr as they came up, "A regular family reunion!" she laughed.
"Hey! I think our husbands are offstage for a bit," Dawn pointed behind them and all the girls went to hug their men.
"Hey baby! Where's my ohter babies?" Brian hugged Dee.
"With their grandma's, grandpa's, and uncles!" she laughed.
"Hey, can the daddy see his babies?" Brian teased as he kissed the babies heads.
"Onstage in 5!" a stagehand called to them.
"Last performance!" Kevin said as the Boys headed back onstage.
"Um, Dawn?" Dee asked.
"Yeah?" Dawn said.
"What is Kevin wearing?!" Dee laughed.
"Is that a skirt!?" Kris studied the monitor backstage.
"I think it is!" Vanessa chuckled.
"Omigosh!" theya ll yelled and burst out laughing.
"Sssshhh!" Dawn said, "I think it's hot!"
"You would!" Kelly teased.
"Yeah!" Dawn laughed.
"Dawn, are you gonna kill me if I tease Kev?" Dee asked.
"No, why?" Dawn asked.
"Cause we haven't joked around with each other since before I had the twins," Dee said, "We've always joked around since we're so close."
"Okay, but it's between ya'll! I'm out of it!" Dawn laughed.
"Thankz babe!" Dee laughed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin walked offstage in a bad mood. In his opinion, his performance sucked! Of course, he would-he was his own worst critic and a major perfectionist. Plus, that D'Angelo guy kept laughing at him and saying rude things, "Well, excuse me if my stylist wanted me to wear a skirt. I have pants on underneath-it's a fashion risk I'm willing to take!" he thought.
"Ow! Sexy!" Vanessa came up behind him and lifted the skirt.
"Would you stop!" he snapped.
"Sorry! Rrorw! (you know that cat noise you make if someone's upset? That's it! I don't know how to spell it!)" she said before walking to hug AJ.
"Nice skirt Kev!" Dee laughed.
"Why are you laughing!" he said.
"Dude-you're a guy! You're wearing a skirt!" she teased.
"It's my choice! I wanted to!" he nearly yelled. Dee didn't know he wasn't joking, they always played around like that.
"Well, that's just stupid!" she teased.
"No, stupid is getting pregnant, going on tour, then having kids onstage!" he snapped.
"Hey! That's uncalled for Kevin!" Brian stepped in.
"Yeah! I was only joking! Lighten up! I haven't joked with you since before I had my babies!" Dee got serious.
"Yeah, well, there's a difference between joking and being a witch about it!" he said.
"You are being so immature! Ugh! You're being a jerk!" she griped before turning and leaving.
"I'm sure you have something to say to defend your wife," Kevin said rudely to Brian.
"No, she said it all! You are being immature! We're family, man!" Brian said. He hadn't been this upset with Kevin in a long time.
"Yeah-well, family respects others decisions," Kevin said.
"Yeah, and family also knows when to lighten up and take a joke and not be rude!" Brian turned and stalked off.
"Are you okay baby?" Dawn asked coming up to Kev and placing her hand on his shoulder.
"I just want to be along right now," he jerked away and walked off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kevin sighed. He was in a bad mood and had no right to take it out on Dee. She was only joking and she was right-they hand't joked around in a while. He opened the backstage door and found Dee and Brian playing with their kids; his cousins. He smiled. They were all so cute as a family!
"Hey cuz's!" he approached them both. They looked at him cautiously, "Listen, I just wanted to apologize for my attitude, it was so uncalled for," he said, "We haven't joked in a while and we are family- I didn't mean it, it's just that that D'Angelo guy..."
"Kev?" Dee asked.
"Yeah?"
"Don't worry about it! I'm sorry too! I shouldn't have said some of the things I said," Dee smiled, "Here, take Paige for a bit while I go get a drink."
"Gladly," Kevin said as Dee handed Paige to him and left. A short while later she returned and laughed at Brian and Kevin making faces at the babies.
"Ya'll are definately related!" she laughed before Kris came running up to the whole gang.
"I'm pregnant!" she yelled.
"What!?" Nick was shocked.
"You're gonna be a daddy!" she hugged him while everyone began congratulating them.
"Backstreet, TRINITY," they heard, "Can I get a picture?" a photographer asked. They all turned around and got in one big groupd and took a picture that would last as long as their friendships-forever!
