Kevin blinked his eyes open when the sun started shining in through the blinds. It took him a second to realize where he was, but then remembered they had spent the night at Brian and Nick's house. Turning over he smiled to find Howie still asleep next to him.

Even though Howie was asleep he could feel eyes focused on him. "Go back to sleep," Howie mumbled as he buried his face in to the groove of Kevin's neck.

Kevin chuckled, a little as he moved a hand from behind Howie's back and gently started to run it through his lover’s hair. "I don't want to go back to sleep...but you can sleep."

Howie remained silent for a few seconds before he slowly opened his eyes. His eye lashes softly brushing against Kevin's neck. "Okay, now I can't get back to sleep." He groaned as he rolled onto his back, his eyes closed.

"My poor baby," Kevin giggled as he propped himself up on his elbow and looked down at Howie. "Did you sleep well though?"

"Yah, but I think my body wants a few more hours though," Howie said. His mind was working but his eyes were being stubborn. "What time is it?"

Kevin glanced over at the clock, "A little after eight," he replied as he lied back down, but this time it was his head that rested on Howie's chest.

"Hmm, we should probably head out and start packing our things," Howie suggested but made no move to do just that.

"Yeah, but you said you don't want to wake up," Kevin giggled as he placed a tender kiss to Howie's bare chest.

"No," Howie drew out as he brought his hand that was around Kevin and rested it on his head. Running his fingers through the short spikes he said, "I said my BODY wanted a few more hours."

"Mmm, well I know a part of your body that is always wide awake in the morning." Kevin smirked as he let one of his hands trail down Howie's bare chest and stomach to rest right were the blankets still covered him, that were now slightly tented.

Howie smiled as his hips involuntarily jerked up at the feel of Kevin's hands covering him. "I know you do," Howie said. Opening his eyes he looked down into Kevin's dark green ones that showed a hint of mischievousness. "What do you have in mind?"

"Hmm, I don't know...do you have any ideas?" Kevin asked as he started to slowly stroke Howie through his boxers and PJ pants.

"I think I might have an idea," Howie said and moaned at the way Kevin was slowly stroking him, almost teasingly. He pulled Kevin's face towards his and started them off on a hot steamy kiss. "Good morning," Howie said when he pulled back.

"Good morning to you too," Kevin whispered in a husky voice as he moved so he was on top of Howie looking down into his eyes. He almost didn't feel right doing this in his cousin's house but he knew everybody else was still fast asleep and they could be quiet. With that thought he leaned down and started sucking on Howie's neck, making sure to hit the places that he knew drove his boyfriend insane.

Howie's back arched up as his hands grabbed Kevin's hair. "I love you," Howie said as Kevin started sucking on his neck.

"Mmm, love you too," Kevin moaned as he moved his hands between their bodies to attempt to get their boxers and PJ pants off without breaking the kiss or moving away.

Howie slid his hands down Kevin's muscular chest, pinching his nipples as he went. His hands met the waistband of Kevin's PJ's and he snuck them in immediately grabbing Kevin's dick, giving it the same attention Kevin gave him a few seconds ago.

Kevin's eyes rolled back into his head as he moaned rather loudly this time but catching it before it got too loud. The last thing they needed was for Nick to wake up and hear them. After a few seconds of Howie's attention Kevin broke the kiss and looked down into Howie's eyes. "I need you baby..."

"Hmm," Howie said as he licked his lips. "Co...Condoms... lube, we got those?" He asked as he started rubbing their PJ's clad erections together, the friction sending sparks through his entire body.

Kevin reached into the night stand and started snuffling around in it and by the time he was done he had a string of condoms and a bottle of lube. "Gotta thank Nick for telling Brian they needed to buy these things for each guest room in their house," he said with a husky laugh as he pulled one of the condoms off, setting it next to him. He then proceeded to strip Howie of his clothes, then doing the same with his own.

Howie laughed. "Go right ahead and tell Nick that," he said knowing that if Kevin did Nick would just look at him like he was an alien since the younger man wouldn't know what the hell Kevin was thanking him for. He licked his lips as he watched Kevin roll the condom on and apply some lube on to his fingers before leaning over him.

"I love you," Kevin said again before he pushed two of his fingers inside Howie and scissored them to stretch him out. No matter how many times they've been like this with each other Howie still managed to be so tight that he needed to be stretched first in order for Kevin not to hurt him.

Howie wiggled a bit but he was too far gone and he needed Kevin in him, now. "I need you Kev, now," Howie breathed out as he fisted his hand in Kevin's hair and pulled the older man down to start them off on another kiss.

As the kiss got more passionate Kevin positioned himself at Howie's entrance and slowly started to move inside of him, moaning into the kiss as he deepened it even more then it already was.

Howie moaned into the kiss but he didn't break it. He pushed down hard against Kevin causing the older man to be buried deep within him. For some reason he was feeling really frisky that morning. "I want it fast and I want it hard, Kev," Howie said as he ended the kiss and looked into Kevin's eyes. And just to make his point he moved down a bit more and clenched his anal muscles.

"Oh shit," Kevin groaned as he moved up a little so he had more space to thrust harder and faster just like Howie wanted. He loved it when Howie got in one of these moods. Sometimes it just felt so good to be able to totally lose control and let his body do what ever it felt like doing.

Howie reached behind him and held on to the bars of the head board. Kevin had a look of pure concentration on his face and Howie knew Kevin was going to give him just what he had asked for. "Go ahead, baby," Howie breathed out his eyes watching every move Kevin made.

Kevin took a deep breath before he pulled almost all the way out of Howie and then pushed all the way back in, hitting his spot hard. Looking in Howie's eyes and seeing nothing but pleasure, Kevin proceeded to do this over and over again hard and fast strokes, making sure to hit him exactly where it would feel so good.

Howie bit his bottom lip to keep from screaming out in pleasure. "That's it, oh god, right there," Howie moaned out between Kevin's thrusts. "You feel so good inside of me, so good."

"God, so fuckin tight!" Kevin cried out a little louder then he should as he continued to thrust in and out of Howie’s tight body. With each thrust his orgasm snuck closer and closer to the edge but he held out.

"Hmm," Howie said. "I'm getting close, so close." He removed one of his hands from the headboard and brought it down to his dick so that he could jerk off in time with Kevin's thrusts.

Kevin would have normally took it upon himself to help Howie out right now but he was so into making sure he hit his spot just right and making it good that way, that he wasn't able to jerk Howie himself. Plus, he was so close that he had to bite his lower lip to keep from cumming right then and there. "Shit...I'm gunna..." he tried to warn Howie but ended up cumming before he finished his warning.

Howie quickened his stroking when he felt Kevin give in to his orgasm. Just watching Kevin, the light sweat that shimmered on his skin, the way his bottom lip was between his teeth, the look of pure pleasure on his way was all it took for Howie to give in to his own orgasm. "Oh god," Howie moaned out as he shot load after load after load on to his chest, stomach, and hand.

Kevin flopped down on top of Howie, resting his head in the crook of his neck as he attempted to catch his breathing, not caring at all about the stickiness between them.

Howie let go of the bars and brought his hands around Kevin. "Wow," he said trying to labor his breathing. "That was a good body wake up call!"

Kevin laughed huskily and groaned when he was sure he heard the sounds of Brian or Nick waking up. "Next time...we gotta be at our own house," he groaned as he pulled back, slipping out of Howie and disposing of the condom in the wastebasket by the bed.

Howie groaned at the loss as Kevin pulled out of him. "Definitely," he agreed. "Do we have to get up now?" Howie pouted. He was feeling very sated and he didn't feel like bringing himself out of the state of euphoria.

"We should probably be heading home soon baby, we've got a lot to do today," Kevin said as he walked into the bathroom and wet a washcloth and brought it back out to clean up Howie, making sure to pay special attention to very sensitive parts.

Nick had woken up before Brian had and was now running around the house all by himself. It was then that he remembered that Howie and Kevin were staying in the room down the hall from his. Thinking it was his job to wake them up he started knocking on the locked door. "Owie...Kevin!"

"Shit," Howie said as he got up and quickly went about putting on the clothes that were discarded on the floor. He wasn't really paying attention to what he was wearing. "What?" Howie asked as he heard Kevin laughing from behind him. He turned around and looked at Kevin only to start laughing as well. Kevin was standing there wearing the PJ pants that were way too short and his boxers. Looking down he found himself holding up his pants since they were way too long. "Perfect!"

Getting very impatient Nick started to pound on the door. "KEVIN...OWIE!" He practically yelled.

Kevin and Howie quickly exchanged PJ pants and then Kevin walked over and opened the door before Nick could yell and pound any more. "Hey Nicky boy...you woke up early today."

Nick nodded his head, his hands moving to his hips. "You no answer Nicky," he said glaring at Kevin.

Howie walked up behind Kevin and looked at a glaring Nick. "That's because we were sleeping," Howie said as he reached up and ruffled Nick's hair. "Sorry we took so long."

At that moment Brian walked past their room before halting to do a double take on Howie and Kevin. He smirked a knowing smirk because they were practically glowing and it didn't take a genius to figure out what they did. "Have a good morning?" He asked them.

"Yeah until a cute little blonde boy decided to come and pound on our door and wake us up," Kevin said in a joking manner as he gave Nick a soft kiss on the forehead.

Nick giggled at the attention and smiled big. "Me wake you up...it time to wake up cuz...me awake aweddy."

"And we see that," Howie said. "We should get ready and head on out so we can start packing our things."

Brian nodded his head. "Yah, we gotta get started on that too. You guys don't want any breakfast or something?"

Kevin looked at Howie and then shook his head. "No, I think we're fine, just gotta get heading out." He could tell by the look in Howie's eyes that neither of them felt they were totally finished with what they had been doing earlier. While Kevin had been cleaning Howie off they both realized they could probably go another round.

Nick started bouncing up and down about the idea of breakfast. "Me want oatsmeal!" he said as he started to bounce around up and down the hall like a bunny.

Howie looked at Brian. "Is he always like this in the mornings?"

Brian could only roll his eyes and nod his head. "He's like the damn energizer bunny!" He paused. "You two get ready I know you have some unfinished business to take care of in the own privacy of your home." Brian gave them a wink and walked away towards the kitchen.

Kevin laughed shaking his head, "Are we that obvious?" he whispered to Howie as he watched Brian walk down the stairs and Nick hopping after him.

"I hope not but since Brian just practically saw right through us I'm guessing that's a yes." Howie turned around and walked back into the room. "Let's get our things together and go home. There are still some things I want to do to you," Howie grinned at Kevin.

Kevin moaned softly just thinking of the things Howie would want to do was turning him on. He quickly grabbed up his stuff. "Okay I'm ready...let's go," he said sounding eager.

Howie quirked an eyebrow as he looked at Kevin's attire. "Really?"

Kevin nodded his head until he looked down at his clothes and groaned. He glared at Howie playfully before he got his sweats that he had put on after the show the night before and put them on. He then grabbed his t-shirt and put that on along with his sneakers. "Okay how about now?"

Howie started getting dressed as Kevin did the same. Howie smiled, "Yup, we can go now." Howie grabbed his bag and walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. "Hey guys, we're leaving," Howie said.

Brian looked up from where he was serving Nick oatmeal. "Okay, take care you guys!"

Howie nodded his head and walked back to where Kevin was waiting for him at the door.

"Bye bye!" Nick called with his mouth full of food.

"Talk to you later Cous," Kevin said as he and Howie walked outside and to their car to head home.

"Brian, why Kevin and Owie all wet?" Nick asked, meaning why were they all sweaty, when they had just woken up. "Day waked up...no shower."

"They were busy moving the furniture around," Brian simply stated as he shoved a spoon of oatmeal in his mouth.

Nick thought that was the weirdest thing he had ever heard and was about to comment on it when there was a big loud noise coming from outside the house. Putting his spoon down he took it upon himself to go and investigate. Once in the living room he looked out the big window and his eyes went wide. "Brian...big. BIG truck!"

Brian followed Nick and peered out the window. "Not truck, it's a bus," Brian said.

Nick shook his head and pointed at another vehicle that was farther down but still in front of their house. "Not dat...dat!" He said pointing at a truck that had the emblem of Luvs Diapers on the outside. "Dat truck...not bus."

Brian looked behind the school bus at what Nick was pointing at. "Oh," he said spotting a big white truck with the logo of Luvs on its sides. He watched at the truck stopped right in front of his house and a man get out with a clipboard checking the address. Curious, Brian opened the door and walked down the steps. "What's going on?" He asked the truck driver.

"I've got a delivery for a Mr. Littrell." The truck driver said handing Brian the clip bored that read. 'Mr. Littrell we at Luvs are very sorry to hear about what happened with Nick Carter and would like to do what we can to help. Thinking the best way to do that is we have made a lifetime supply of diapers for Nick, 50 packs which happen to be in the truck right now. If you ever need more just call the number at the bottom of the page and we will have them sent right to you. Expect only Luvs quality diapers in a bigger size; your friends at Luvs.

Brian read the note and then re-read the note. He couldn't believe what he was reading. Looking up at the truck and then at the driver he asked, "Is this for real?"

The driver shrugged his shoulders. "I have exactly what it said so it must be real then huh?"

Nick had walked to stand behind Brian, but was being shy around the truck driver so he didn't say anything just hid behind Brian the best he could.

Brian took the note and put it in his pocket before signing the receipt on the clipboard. "Um, you can set the stuff in the living room in there," Brian said pointing through his open front door.

The driver nodded his head before he headed back out to his truck and a few minutes later there were about six big boxes in the room. With a nod of his head he was out the door.

Nick walked slowly into the room the boxes were and looked at them curiously. "What dat?" he asked Brian acting a little scared.

Brian locked the door before walking in to the living room. "Diapers," Brian said as he opened one of the boxes and looked inside. "Especially made for you."

Nick looked into the box too and smiled big when he saw Sesame Street characters on the individual packages. "Ohhh me ike does!" he said excitedly getting it out of the box and attempting to open the package.

"Nuh uh," Brian said grabbing the package out of Nick's hand before he could open it. "Not right now. You'll get to see them soon enough. I promise. Let's just go and finish our breakfast and start packing our things, okay?" Brian put the package back in the box.

"Me no hungy...me want dat!" Nick exclaimed with a pout on his face. He wasn't really that hungry, he had all his stomach could handle since it was still attempting to get over whatever he had the day before. He didn't really feel sick anymore but his stomach could only take so much right now.

"Okay then," Brian said. "But we're not opening these right now. We have to get our things packed and if there are still some things that we need... we need to go out shopping and get them. No time to play with diapers!" Brian told a hold of Nick's hand and led them up the stairs in to Nick's room.

"But what if me need to be changed?" Nick asked in a snooty sounding tone, he was definitely in a mood and he knew Brian would know he didn't need to be changed because he would never willingly admit that if he did.

"We still have two or three more diapers in your dresser," Brian said. "We'll use those." Brian walked over to Nick's closest and pulled out a suitcase.

"Me no ike does...they hurt." Nick whined as he sat on his bed, his arms crossed over his chest a very angry look on his face.

Brian sighed as he rubbed his hands over his face. "Nick, don't make this hard on me, okay? It's only about two more diapers and then you'll get to wear the new ones. I'm willing to bet that by tomorrow you'll be wearing them... just in time when we get on the bus." Brian walked over to the closest and grabbed a bunch of Nick's t-shirts and pants before walking back to the open suitcase and neatly folding everything and placing them in.

Still glaring at Brian Nick purposely started to pee himself even though he could have held it for a while. As he did that he walked over to his toy shelf and started to figure out what he was going to bring with him.

Brian sneered at Nick's back because he knew that look on the younger boy's face. Taking a deep breath he continued to fold the clothes and place them in. He was just happy that he'd packed his things the night before after he'd had his midnight snack.

Nick reached in front of himself adjusting himself sort of. He had peed a lot more then he had expected to. "What can me bring wit us?" He asked.

"What ever you want but not everything, if you want to bring a few of them," Brian said nodding at the stuffed animals. "That's fine." He was told that their tour bus company had built them a new bus, it was supposed to be a lot bigger and spacious than the pervious ones they've had.

"Otay," Nick answered as he continued to walk around his room throwing things on the floor that he wanted to pack up. "Me want dis, and dis, and dis."

Brian frowned. "Nick, pick them up and place them neatly on the bed," Brian said using his parental tone.

Nick glared at Brian again as he picked up the toys and THREW them onto the bed.

Brian glared right back at Nick before sighing. "Whatever keep that attitude up and I won't let you bring any of your toys on the bus," Brian said nonchalantly. "It won't bother me... you just think about that!"

Looking right at Brian, Nick grabbed a few more toys and threw them on the bed, knowing he was being very naughty but he was in a terrible twos moment and felt like throwing a big huge fit. Still upset that Brian wouldn't let him see his new diapers.

"I'm warning you Nick," Brian said getting annoyed at Nick's behavior. "Keep that up and I'll send those diapers right back to the company and ask the doctor to send in more of the ones you're wearing right now."

"You no do dat." Nick said kicking at a few toys that were still on the floor. "Day hurt me...you no let tings hurt me."

Brian sighed. Fuck! "You know what?” Brian said running his hands through his hair. "Fine, go down stairs and open up the packages and look. Go have fun." Brian pointed at the open door indicating for Nick to leave. He didn't know what else to do, he didn't know how he could make Nick listen to him or obey him. He just didn't know. "Go."

Nick walked out of the room in a huff and down stairs to where the diapers were. He did get the package open and took one out and started looking at it with a smile on his face. He then took the diaper back upstairs and into his room just holding it in his arms. He remembered Brian say they were made special for him and that made him smile even more.

As soon as Nick left Brian walked over to where Nick threw all the toys on the floor and on the bed. One after the other he picked them up and placed them back on the shelf. He was about to walk back to the suitcase when he noticed the teddy bear, Nick's substitute for Winky, lying on the floor by the bed. He picked that up and stared at it for god knows how long because before he knew it Nick walked back in to the room smiling and holding one of the diapers.

"Ook...Big Bird," Nick said pointing at the picture of Big Bird on the diaper he had in his hand. He then pulled his PJ pants down a little to show the top of his own diaper. "No Big Bird."

Brian looked at him with a bored expression on his face. "So?" He handed Nick the teddy bear before walking back over to the suitcase and folded the rest of the clothes in.

"Day not cool and they feel yucky," Nick said trying his best to explain they didn't absorb things at all and made him feel wet unlike most diapers. He then sighed as he sat on the edge of his bed with the bear in his hands. He then smiled big when he got an idea and slowly started to diaper the bear just like Brian would.

"Okay," Brian said. "I'll throw these out then." Brian walked over to the dresser and grabbed the last of the 'yucky' diapers that the hospital had provided them and threw them in the garbage can. He walked back to the suitcase and attempted to close the cover. After a few failed tries he began to get frustrated. Taking in a deep breath he put all his energy and weight on it and heard the wonderful 'click' sound that indicated the cover had closed. "Thank God!"

After the bear was diapered, Nick spotted his binkie on the bed and put it into his mouth sighing contently. He wasn’t in his mood anymore, now he actually seemed a little withdrawn, just taking a little bit to play with the toys that were on his bed quietly. He had gotten used to playing by himself when living with his parents that sometimes he just started doing it, even though it was lonely and he really didn't like it.

Brian lifted the suitcase with a huff and settled it down by the door before walking over and flopping down on his back on Nick's bed, in front of Nick.

Nick looked up from the bear and smiled at Brian. "Me did good?" he asked softly, showing Brian the diapering job. It was weird how he could go from so hyper to sort of melancholy in a matter of minutes.

Brian opened his eyes and looked at the teddy bear in diapers that was in front of him. "Yah," Brian said smiling. "You did an amazing job. Hmm, maybe I don't need to change your diapers anymore; you can do it yourself..." Brian reached his hand out to Nick's face and tickled under his chin.

Nick giggled a little and shook his head. "Me no change myself...dat be icky." He then went quiet again, his hands picking at the material of his comforter.

Brian turned onto his left side, propping his head up with his left hand, facing Nick. "You okay?" Brian questioned as he noticed the solemn expression on Nick's face.

It took Nick a minute to answer but when he finally did it was obvious he was close to tears. "Me no wana go bye bye."

Brian wrinkled his forehead trying to understand the meaning behind those words. Pushing himself up into an seated Indian-style position he questioned, "What do you mean you don't wanna go bye bye?"

Nick looked over at the suitcases that had all his stuff in it. "Me no wana go...me wana stay wight here."

Brian looked over in the direction that Nick was looking in. "Oh," Brian said before looking back at Nick. "But you'll be with us, in a big bus, and we get to travel all over America and the world. Don't you think that'll be awesome?"

"Me miss my tings," Nick said looking around the room at the stuff he knew they couldn't bring. "Me miss my bed."

"It won't be forever, just for a few months," Brian said in an assuring, soft tone. "I'm going to miss this house too but we got a job to do, a job that puts the food on the table, a job that bought you this bed, the very same job that in a way got you those diapers."

That made Nick's face scrunch up; he didn't like the sound of not having the cool diapers that he hadn't even got to use yet. "We no go...me have to use icky diapers?"

"Nooo," Brian said thinking of a way to explain it better. "You see, when people heard that you will be living with me, they wanted to help and so they gave us...well, you the special diapers. That wouldn't have happened if it weren’t for being a Backstreet Boy." Brian looked at Nick hoping that what he said made sense.

"Ohh, so if me live with mommy and daddy again me no get them," Nick said, showing he understood. "Me ike living wit you...me ike you as a backy boy."

Brian tried to frown at Nick's last two words but he couldn't. Nick was just so adorable; he laughed. "Back - street - Boy," Brian said correcting Nick. "And I'm glad you like living with me."

"You no hurt me," Nick said as he hugged his new teddy to his chest.

"How 'bout you give it a name?" Brian questioned nodding at the teddy bear. "Start everything new, you know? You house, new room, new stuff, what do ya say?"

Nick looked down at the bear and smiled when he thought of a name all by himself. "Fuzzy," he said as he poked at the fuzzy fir of the teddy bear.

"Fuzzy it is," Brian said chuckling. "Is there anything you wanna take on tour?"

Looking around the room, Nick sighed because he couldn't choose what to bring. "Me no know." he said with a pout on his face.

"Hmm, well we already packed a few of your clothes," Brian said thinking of the first important of things. "You can take Fuzzy since you seem more attached to him than any one of your other stuffed animals. We need coloring books and crayons," Brian said more to himself than to Nick.

"Choo Choo?" Nick asked hopefully, looking over at his train set, the one toy that kept him occupied for more then ten minutes.

"We can take that too, yah," Brian said as he thought about that for a minute. "Anything else?"

Nick got a very contemplative look on his face as he looked around the room. He even got up off the bed and started looking to see exactly what he wanted to bring. "Bring dis?" he asked pointing down to his big tool bench thingy.

Brian looked at Nick sadly. "I don't think there'll be enough room on the bus for that. Try taking something smaller...maybe."

Nick tried not to look sad as he gathered up a few more of his small toys and put them on the bed. "Dis otay?" he asked, still sounding a lot different then he had earlier when he had been bouncing around the room.

Brian nodded his head. "That's absolutely fine." But before Nick could walk away again Brian gently grabbed his hand and pulled him down on the bed. "Hey you," he said poking Nick's tummy, trying to tickle him. "What's with the sad voice?"

Nick shrugged his shoulders as he sat down on the bed, giggling just a little with how Brian was tickling him. He didn't really know why he was sad, he just was.

"You'd tell me if something was wrong right?" Brian questioned, worried. "It'll help if you talk about what's going on in your head and what your feeling, not just for you but for me too. 'Cuz I wanna help you and I can't do that if I don't know what’s going on."

"I miss my mommy and daddy," Nick whispered looking down at his lap. Sure, it was weird that he missed the people who hurt him so much but they were still his parents and he loved them and missed them.

Brian was taken back at Nick's admission. Sure he understood that Nick was only two years old that he was still at the stage in which the relationship with the parents was the most strongest... but he MISSED them? After all that they did him? "I'm sorry," Brian said. He didn't know what else there was to say.

"Day have diapers ike dees," Nick said pointing at the diaper on Fuzzy, showing why he had all of a sudden got into the sad mood after he had really seen the diapers.

"Your parents have the same kinds of diapers for you?" Brian questioned wanting to make sure he understood the statement.

Nick nodded his head, sniffling a little. He reached a hand up and wiped the tears and snot off his face.

"Hmm," Brian said as he reached over into the drawer of the nightstand and pulled out a bunch of tissues. Gently wiping Nick's face he spoke. "A lot of parents have similar diapers Nick and Big Bird is a really popular bird."

"Big opular bird," Nick corrected as he blew his nose into the tissues Brian was holding. "He yeyyo too," he said with a big smile to show he knew exactly what color Big Bird was.

"Yea," Brian said as he threw the tissue into the garbage can a few feet away, a perfect shot as the balled up tissue sailed right into it. "He is yellow."

Nick giggled as he watched Brian make the basket. He then looked down at the diaper on Fuzzy and up at Brian giving him puppy dog eyes.

Brian raised his eyebrow. "Why you looking at me like that?"

"Me have now?" Nick asked his voice slightly whiny again.

It took a few seconds for Brian to piece together just what Nick was asking him. "Oh," Brian said as he nodded his head. "Dude, why didn't you just tell me when you went or had to go?" Brian questioned before getting up. "I'll be right back." With that Brian jogged out of the room, down the stairs into the living room only to grab a diaper and head back up to Nick's room.

Nick giggled a little, he hadn't really done anything more then he had earlier but if it worked then it worked. He just hoped Brian wouldn't notice too much when he changed him and then like stop or something.

Walking back into the room Brian waved the diaper in his hand. "Let's get into the bathroom," Brian said as he walked in to the bathroom and waited for Nick.

"Otay," Nick said as he hopped off the bed and headed into the bathroom with Brian and got down on the floor assuming the position, something that he would never normally do without putting up a fight. That showed how much the new diapers meant to him.

Brian got down on his knees and pulled down Nick's shorts before carefully taking the diaper off. He frowned when he noticed the way the diaper clung onto Nick and the red rash that it left in its path. "Since how long were you in wet diapers?" Brian questioned, curious.

Nick thought about that for a second. It hadn't been that long since Brian had changed him right before breakfast, since he always was really wet. "Me go when we come into room to start packing," he said showing that it wasn't really that long ago, proving how nasty the doctor’s diapers really were for locking away the wetness.

Brian cringed. "Sorry Nick," Brian said feeling bad. He then threw the wet diaper away before walking back out into the bedroom only to pick up Nick's bag and walk right back into the bathroom. Getting down on his knees again he looked through the bag for the rash powder as well as wipes.

"It otay," Nick said with a smile to show he was alright. He then giggled and sneezed a little when some of the powder got on his nose.

"Sorry, again," Brian said as he finished wiping Nick off and applying the powder. He then opened the new diaper and put it on Nick. "How does this feel?"

Nick actually almost purred at how the diaper felt around him. It wasn't scratchy like the other one, this time it was soft and fluffy feeling. "Dat nice," he said with a smile.

Brian smiled back down at Nick. "That's good to hear," he said before patting Nick's knee and getting up. "You're all set." Brian bent over and pulled Nick's shorts back up and then held his hand out for Nick to take.

"Yup me all set," Nick said as he took Brian's hand as he stood up. "What do now?"

Brian looked at the time as he walked back into the bedroom. 2:30 P.M. "We should get some shopping done before it gets too late." Brian said thinking about the list he made last night of the things he's going to need.

Nick jumped up and down excitedly. "Yeah, shopping!" He had no idea where they were going to go but he loved going out shopping.

"Yup, we need to go get some things like sheets and blankets, soap, shampoo," Brian said as he walked out of Nick's room and into his own. He picked up the list that was on his dresser as well as his wallet and keys.

Nick had followed behind Brian, holding his sneakers in his hand. "Help," he said as he sat down in the middle of the hallway.

Brian walked into the hall and squatted down in front of Nick. Holding one shoe out he said, "Stick your right foot in this one, no, the other foot," Brian said before grabbing the other shoe and having Nick put his foot in it. "Okay, then," Brian said when Nick had both his socks covered feet in the sneakers. "Let's tie up the laces."

Once Nick had his shoes on he walked with Brian down the stairs and out the front door to the car. He excitedly bounced his way to the car and continued to bounce in his seat once Brian had him all buckled in. Greco had already made Nick a custom made car seat, which Nick thought was the coolest thing in the world cuz it had a steering wheel hooked to it so he could pretend he was driving too. "Vroom, vroom." he giggled.

Brian got in behind the wheel and started up the car just as Nick said 'Vroom, Vroom.' "Okay, off we go," Brian said as he backed out the driveway and onto the street.

Nick continued to make driving noises the whole way to the store as he turned the wheel just like Brian was doing. He was getting a total kick out of the new car seat.

Brian pulled up in to the parking lot of K-mart before he turned the engine off and helped Nick out of his car seat. Walking over out of the car and over to Nick's side he opened the door and let Nick out before he turned the car alarm on and walkied inside the store.

Nick's eyes went wide as they walked into the store. There was so much to see and do in a store this big. Like any little kid he started to touch everything he could get his hands on.

"Nick," Brian said. "Put that down. We can't go around touching everything and if you break anything we're going to have pay for it and I don't have THAT kinda money on me."

Nick bit his lower lip and nodded his head at Brian's stern tone. He put his hand that wasn't in Brian's into his pocket and continued to follow him around, this time not touching anything.

"I'm sorry Nick, but you gotta understand that yes, all these things are cool and pretty and yah, I understand you want to touch and play with them but we can't always do that." Brian tried to explain to Nick.

"Me know," Nick said as he did something his mommy had taught him, he looked with his eyes. "Brian what get again?" he asked trying to remember why they were there again.

"Sheets and blankets, extra PJ's, soaps, shampoo, and stuff, for when we get to the bus," Brian said as he turned down the isle and stared at all the soaps and shampoos that lined the shelves. "Uh, you wanna help me find a good one?"

Nick saw something that he recognized and pointed at it. "Me ike dat...no hurt eyes." he said pointing at the baby shampoo/body wash his parents had. They may have been jerks a lot of the time but others they did okay.

Brian nodded his head as he took two of the Johnson’s tear free baby shampoo bottles and placed them in the cart. He then grabbed head & shoulders for himself as he continued down the isle.

Nick walked down the isle and found more things he recognized on the next isle over, but this was something that he shouldn't recognize at his age. He glanced at the young man who was buying the condoms he was looking at and then pointed at the ones his daddy would use to 'play', the whole time forgetting that Brian said not to wonder off.

"Nick?" Brian questioned out loud. He just turned his back for one second to look at the price on the body wash and Nick had disappeared. "Where are you?"

Hearing his name Nick froze knowing he was going to be in big trouble. "Me here," he called, praying Brian wouldn't be too mad.

Brian walked around to the next isle and at first glance didn't pay much attention to where he was. "I thought I told you not to wander off?" Brian questioned as he walked over to Nick and took his hand. "Come on." Just as they were passing Brian got a glimpse of a bright red box and froze. He looked down at Nick and then at the surrounding area. "Why are you in this isle?"

"We need dose?" Nick asked innocently as he pointed at the condom boxes. He thought since they were buying other things he recognized that maybe they needed those too.

Brian gave a nervous smile and shrugged at the guy that was near them when he looked at them with a weird expression on his face. "No, we don't," Brian said in a low voice and quickly escorted them out of that isle.

Nick had a feeling he had done something wrong but he really didn't know what it was. "Me sowwy," he said, thinking Brian was just upset at him for walking off.

Brian looked over at Nick when they were back in the soap isle. "Don't be sorry," Brian said in a soft voice. "Just don't go wandering around like that, okay?"

"Otay," Nick agreed as he stood right by their cart as Brian looked over the soap. He smiled big when he saw a soap container that looked like it has fish swimming in it. "Ohh Brian lookie!"

Brian looked over at what Nick was pointing at and smiled. "Hey that's cool. You want one of those?" Brian questioned knowing that Nick HAD one of those in his room back when he was still living with his parents.

Nick nodded his head like crazy as he picked it up and put it gently into the cart not wanting to break it. "What else need?" he asked, getting excited about this shopping stuff.

Brian laughed. "Towels and that stuff," Brian said wheeling the cart to the next isle. "Oh, how about this one for you?" Brian said picking up a really soft big fluffy ocean blue towel that had pictures of sea animals decorating the edges.

Nick's eyes went really wide and he nodded his head like crazy. "Ohhh me want dat, me want dat!" He said jumping up and down excitedly, getting a few weird looks from a couple standing a few feet away.

"Okay, okay," Brian said as he placed his hand on Nick's shoulder to try and keep him from bouncing. "Shhhh, we don't want to disturb the other shoppers."

Nick pouted a little but stopped hopping as they walked a little farther down the isle. "Brian we ook at toys?"

Brian opened his mouth to say that Nick had plenty of toys at home but one look at the big blue eyes, how could he resist? "Sure, but let's get what we came here for and then we'll go look at the toys." Brian then walked down the isle and picked out a 'under the sea' designed bed sheets/pillow case set for Nick and a plain navy blue one for himself. He also grabbed tooth brushes, again, sea designs for Nick, and plain ones for himself. Looking all the way in front of him he noticed the entertainment/DVD section. He made a mental note to go over to the cartoons/Disney section and get something for Nick after they look at the toys. "Come on, I think I got what we came for. On to the toys."

"Yay!" Nick exclaimed as he walked with Brian over to the toy section, he was a good boy and kept his hand on the side of the cart the whole time there but once they hit the toy section he was off like a rocket looking at everything.

Brian sighed as he looked around. Good. No one was in that isle. "Nick, please," Brian pleaded. "Don't throw anything on the floor." There were mostly big stuffed animals at the section they were in right now so Brian wasn't all that worried about Nick breaking anything.

"Me no throw," Nick said as he looked all around, of course saying he wanted everything he saw. He definitely looked eighteen but he was totally a two year old in every sense of the word.

"I know," Brian said. "But I'm saying if you do, like accidentally or something, just pick it up and put it back on the shelf."

After looking around for a good half an hour, Nick was beginning to get a little tired and cranky to boot. "Me want dat," he said for the tenth time about five different things that Brian already told him he couldn't have...mostly because he already had them.

"Nick, think back a little to what you DO have in your room." Brian said as he looked at the train set a bit further down the isle from Nick. It was one of those that can be mounted on a table, complete with trees, people, sand, houses, and all that, a small town. And the train actually 'choo choo's' and blows off steam. He made a mental note to get that. "And see if the one you're looking at right now looks familiar!"

"Me still want it!" Nick said actually stomping his foot, his face getting all red. He was in the middle of a full blown temper tantrum in the middle of the store.

"But YOU HAVE IT," Brian said stressing his words at the same time trying to keep his frustrations at bay. "Why do you want another one?"

"Cuz me do," Nick said in a very snooty disrespectful voice. "So me get it," he said actually sticking his tongue out at Brian.

"Oh yeah?" Brian questioned raising his eye brow and crossing his arms over his chest. "And just who is going to pay for it?"

Nick pointed right at Brian.

Brian smirked and shook his head. "Guess again!"

"Buy NOW!" Nick yelled at the top of his lungs, picking up a box off the shelf and throwing it on the floor, glaring at Brian.

"Nick!" Brian all but screamed at the younger blonde. "Pick that up RIGHT NOW or I'm taking you back home this instant!" He brought his hands down and rested them on his hips. This scene looked a bit on the weird side considering that Brian was shorter than Nick and he was looking up at Nick practically telling to behave.

"I want it..." Nick whined, now breaking into tears as he sat down on the floor totally throwing a fit. It was now very obvious that he was cranky because he was getting really sleepy since it was already almost 4pm and he hadn't had a nap that day.

"But you have IT," Brian stressed. "What are you going to do with the other toy, then?" Brian walked over to Nick and gently grabbed his arms, pulling him up. "Don't cause a scene Nick," Brian whispered as he noticed a mother and her teenage daughter walk onto the isle they were in. He then lowered his baseball cap and pulled Nick's beanie down a bit more. "Stop crying!"

Nick snuggled against Brian a little as he continued to cry, his thumb going into his mouth as his other hand went to rub at his eyes. He didn't care about the toy really anymore.

Brian hugged Nick and then took the pacifier he'd tied earlier to Nick's shirt out of Nick's pocket and put that in Nick's mouth. The good thing about this pacifier was that it could pass of as one of those 'baby bottle pops' except this isn't candy.

"Come on, one more stop and we'll go home," Brian whispered as he let go of Nick and walked over to the DVD section.

Nick drug his feet as he walked after Brian to the entertainment area of the store. "We go home," he whimpered around his pacifier.

"Yes," Brian said. "Soon," He then quickly grabbed the classic Disney movies, like the Lion King, Cinderella, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, and much more before going over to the counter and paying for them. While the cashier was in the process of scanning the items Brian quietly asked if he could have the train set that was in isle 9, the toys isle, shipped to his house. He had a plan. He was going to request his parents to come down to his place, one weekend, and set that up so by the time they got back home, Nick would have a new room, a game/toy room.

Nick was almost falling asleep leaning against the cart while Brian paid for everything. His eyes were dropping shut and his head nodding forward.

Brian smiled big as he got everything taken care of as well as when one of the workers decided to help him bring all his purchases to the car. "Nick," Brian called out softly as he placed his hand around him. "Hey buddy, could you stay awake for just a little bit more, till we get to the car?" Brian questioned, hopeful.

Nick whimpered as he started crying again a little bit but he stood up and started walking with them. He hadn't slept that well the night before because of weird dreams that had kept him awake, but he hadn't woken Brian up. Now, he was just in major need of a nap.

"Thanks," Brian said and when they got to the car he first let Nick get into his car seat and buckled him in before walking over to the trunk and opening it so that the guy could place his purchases in.

By the time Brian was finished and back in the car, Nick was out like a light in his normal sleeping position except for the fact that he was sitting up.

Brian got back in the car and drove for the ten minutes it took to get back to his house. Once there he pulled into his garage and shut the engine off. He sighed as he looked at Nick sleeping peacefully in his seat. How was he supposed to get Nick up and into his room? Good Lord. Brian got out of the car and took in a deep relaxing breath but to also prepare himself. He walked over to Nick’s side and began to unbuckle the seat belt and safety straps on Nick's seat. Then he proceeded to get his arms under Nick's legs and shoulders, attempting to carry Nick out of the car. Once he got Nick safely out without waking him up Brian smiled before his face was a mask of concentration. Before long he maneuvered his way up the stairs to Nick's room and placed him in bed, almost collapsing.

Nick whimpered a little in his sleep but didn't wake up, just rolling over and snuggling up with his blankie and Fuzzy. He was always really good at sleeping while being moved around. Kevin had even used to do it at the beginning of Backstreet when he would fall asleep in the van after concerts or whatever.

Brian then bent over and tucked Nick in before turning the baby monitor on and walking out of the room. He went into his own room and grabbed the other monitor before going down to the garage and bringing in the purchases. Once he was done he collapsed on the couch and looked at the time. 5:45 PM. The guys would be coming to the house at around eight that night, to gather before heading out to the tour bus.
