Flash Forward 2039
“They look… happy and rested,” Elle remarked as she watched her parents climb out of the car.
“That’s what I was just thinking,” Jacob remarked. “I didn’t think they’d come back looking so…”
“Happy?” Sophia asked.
“Exactly.
“Well what did you expect?” Sebastian asked. “We sent them away for a rest.”
“Yeah but we sent them camping,” Jacob pointed out.
“And?”
“And camping isn’t restful,” Elle answered.
“So when the hell did we send them camping?” Sebastian asked confused.
“For the history,” Jacob shrugged.
“Exactly,” Elle nodded.
“So you three knew you’d be sending them away knowing they wouldn’t enjoy it?” Sebastian frowned.
“I figured Dad would come back happy,” Elle shrugged.
“I was sure Papa was going to come back the same night,” Sophia smirked.
“Yeah I’m surprised he lasted,” Jacob nodded.
“Hey guys,” Adam smiled as he walked towards the house. “Is this our welcome party?”
“We were just having dinner together,” Elle answered.
“Aww Kris look at that,” Adam smiled proudly. “All our kids together when we’ve not forced them to be.”
“Where is Riley?” Kris asked.
“Chasing a dinosaur around,” Sebastian answered.
“Huh?” Kris asked confused.
“He’s playing a video game,” Sebastian answered. “So how was your trip.”
“So good,” Adam smiled brightly. “We just had so much fun.”
“Not a lot of dirt?”
“Dirty?” Adam asked confused. “Why the hell would there be dirt at the…”
“Camp site,” Kris interrupted. “At the came site where we were,” he added quickly.
“Right,” Adam nodded with a smirk on his face. “At the camp site… where we were.”
“So you had fun or not?” Elle asked.
“It was cool,” Kris nodded. “We just… hung out. Relaxed.”
“Did you see that cool stream with the little bridge going over it?” Elle asked.
“Eh no,” Kris frowned. “We must have missed that.”
“Missed it?” Elle frowned. “You have to cross it to get into the camp site.”
“Oh that little bridge,” Adam said quickly. “Sure we saw that. Yeah that was nice. Anyway we can’t stand around here all night chatting. Lets go inside.”
“Sure,” Elle said confused as she moved out of the way to let Kris and Adam past.
“Little stream?” Kris whispered.
“I knew we should have done our research before we started lying to them,” Adam whispered back.
“What little stream?” Jacob asked once Adam and Kris were out of the way.
“There was no stream,” Elle answered. “I made it up.”
“Oh,” Sophia nodded. “So they lied?”
“Of course they lied,” Jacob smirked. “I bet they booked into that cool hotel near by.”
“Those little liars,” Elle gasped.
“Hey we’re ones to talk,” Sophia frowned. “We’ve just spent the past six hours cleaning up from the big ass party we threw here last night.”
“Shh,” Jacob and Elle hissed at the same time.
….…………………………………………………………
“Think we got away with it?” Kris whispered as he closed the bedroom door.
“Doesn’t matter if we don’t,” Adam shrugged.
“It doesn’t?”
“Even if they know we’re lying they’re not going to mention it.”
“They’re not?”
“Nope because then that will open the door for us to ask about the big ass party they had here,” Adam smirked.
“They had a party?”
“Of course they did,” Adam nodded. “But never mind that. I want to keep hold of the feeling we’ve had all weekend.”
“What feeling?” Kris asked.
“That newly wed feeling,” Adam smiled as he pulled Kris into his arms.
“Yeah,” Kris nodded. “I’m enjoying that feeling.”
“Yeah only this time the press don’t give a crap.”
“That’s true,” Kris nodded. “We’re not important enough to have them camped outside of our house any more.”

Flashback
(And breaking news now. It's been rumoured that on the 20th of May just eight days ago American Idol Kris Allen and runner up Adam Lambert were married in a small service in Connecticut. We will go live to the couples home where our correspondent is after this short commercial break.)
Adam peeked out his bedroom window blinking at the flashing lights. “There's like twenty camera crews out there.”
Kris came to peek over Adam's shoulder. “Thank god we go that big locked gate or they'd be right at our door.”
They had only been home a day from their honeymoon and hadn't even thought about making a statement to the press. Now with most of America watching Fox news they knew their wedding secret was out in the open. “Should we go out there?”
“And say what?”
“Get the fuck away from my gate.” Adam suggested moving away from the window.
“I'd rather hide here.” Kris moved back to the bed hearing the news come back on.
(Our sources say the wedding happened on the 20th of May one year to the day that Allen won Idol beating Lambert to the title. A close source to the couple say the wedding came about a few days before the actual day. It was only three weeks ago we ran a story about Lambert's uncomfortable appearance on Leno where he struggled to focus on Leno's questions. It was rumoured that the Idol couple who only announced their union last November had split. The couple have not made official statements both camps said they do not comment on their clients personal life's. The couples twitter accounts have brought no clue with Allen's last tweet on the 17th when he complained about the zip on his suit case breaking while Lambert's last tweet was bizarrely about collard greens.)
Adam burst out laughing earning a look from his husband. “Oh why aren't we recording this. This is gold.”
“We really need to make an announcement before this gets out of hand.” Kris chewed on his bottom lip while his hand rubbed the back of his neck as he peeked through the curtains again.
“Stop that.” Adam said standing up to pry Kris's hand from his neck. “Every time you do that you leave a big nasty red mark on your neck.” Adam pulled Kris to the bed laying them down so they were face to face.
“It's a habit. I need something to do with my hands or I'll go insane.”
Adam grabbed onto his husbands hand putting it on top of his head. “So rub my head instead.”
Kris smiled gently as he slowly began to rub Adam's head with his fingertip. “You can't back out of anything now. The world knows. Hoe does that feel?”
“Feels kind of nice.”
(With no comment from either Lambert or Allen's camp the blogs have been heating up with their own ideas of the couples latest twist. A popular being why the marriage took place in the first place. It's been reported that Lambert ended the relationship with Allen to concentrate on his career but now a close source to the couple tells us it might be a marriage of convenience. The source who's close to both Lambert and Allen say the marriage came about as part of a publicity plan to help sell tickets to both singers tours that begin this year. This is the first time two openly gay A list stars have married and will likely raise the profile of both singers.)
“Okay ouch.” Adam said pulling his head away from Kris's grasp. “Digging a little deep there baby.”
“We need to make a statement.” Kris sighed.
“I'll get a pen and paper.” Adam climbed from the bed switching the tv off as he went.
…......................................
(On the 20th of May Adam Lambert and Kris Allen united in married in Connecticut. They would like to thank all the well wishers and ask that everyone give them this time to adjust to married life. They will not be answering any questions on this matter in the future.)

“You know I love our kids, but being away from them was great,” Kris smiled as he lay back on the bed beside Adam.
“It was, but…”
“You missed them,” Kris remarked as he rolled his eyes.
“How did you know?” Adam quizzed.
“Because you’re crazy about them,” Kris answered. “Because you had to look at all their social media every night before you went to sleep.”
“What can I tell you,” Adam shrugged. “I love my kids.”
“That you do,” Kris nodded. “Which I’m thankful for. I mean there was a time I really thought you hated kids.”
“Me?” Adam asked surprised. “Hating kids? No way.”
“There was a time when it looked like you did,” Kris remarked.

Adam wrapped the towel around his waist as he climbed out the cramped bus bathroom. He couldn't be happier that he and Allison's tour had started he just wished he hadn't spent all the budget on his costumes and spent a little more on the bus. No one could change in that bathroom not even Kris and he was tiny and with Allison and her Mom sharing with him things were getting pretty over crowded. Walking side ways along the bunks of the bus to get to his he stumbled on something causing him to slip. “Fuck,” He mumbled catching himself against the bunks. Bending down Adam picked up his favourite leather glove between his finger and thumb as he examined the sticky substance on the back of it. He tapped it with his finger causing the odd looking red stain to be stuck to his finger. Examining it more closely Adam stuck his tongue out. “Strawberry?” Adam muttered.
“Lollipop.” Adam jumped looking down to see a small child sitting on the empty bunk across from him surrounded by dolls. “Want a lick?”
Adam frowned at the child. “Kris?”
“Not here.”
“Who the hell are you?” Adam asked holding his towel tighter around him.
“You said a bad word. Want a lick?” She asked again sticking her lollipop in the air.
“I don't like Lollipop's. They're sticky.” Adam said annoyed holding up his ruined glove. “Where are your parents?”
“With Uncle Kris.”
“Uncle Kris?” Adam asked with a raised eyebrow. He nodded his head finally understanding. They were in little rock of course Kris's family would be at the show. “Well go get your parents. I need to get dressed.”
“Can't.” The little girl shrugged. “Uncle Kris said stay with you until he shows Daddy the stage.”
“Well Uncle Kris has lost his fucking mind cause I don't watch kids.” Adam said matter of fact.
“You said a bad word again.” The small child said in a whisper.
“Well I can because it's my bus and cursing is allowed.” Adam answered. “Now go find Kris while I get dressed.”
“Can't.”
“You can.”
“Can't.”
“I'm being serious here.” Adam warned as he put his hands on his hips to look down at his young guest. “Go get Kris.”
“Can't.”
“Okay stop saying that word.” Adam sighed annoyed. “The stage is only a ten second walk away. Why can't you?”
“I'm not allowed to go out by myself.” The little girl answered looking down at her dolls.
“Your not allowed?” Adam looked the little girl up and down. “Your what? About ten or eleven.”
“I'm four.”
“Oh.” Adam frowned. “Okay just don't move. I'll get dressed and take you myself.”

“That kid,” Adam remarked.
“She was a cool kid,” Kris smiled.
“She wasn’t so bad,” Adam shrugged.
“She’ll be married with kids of her own by now,” Kris remarked
“God help her kids,” Adam remarked.
“I thought you said she was a good kid,” Kris remarked.
“I lied,” Adam answered dryly. “She was a demon.”
