A Thanksgiving to Remeber (family, mm, inc)
By Jessica Taylor (midnight_violet18@hotmail.com)

***

As the yams came out of the oven, burned as usual, 
Joshua Chasez cursed at himself. "Why am I doing this 
again?" he asked the empty air.

"Because you put your proverbial foot in your 
proverbial mouth and said that you would do 
Thanksgiving this year." His boyfriend of one year, 
and fellow bandmate, Lance Bass said as he came into 
the kitchen with a bag of last minute groceries for 
some of the Thanksgiving fixings.

"Oh be quiet you. I didn't ask for your opinion. And 
where is Joey when you need him. He can actually 
cook."

"He wiped his hands of the whole thing as soon as you 
said you would do it sweets." Lance said as he kissed 
Josh's cheek and reached over him to a cabinet to get 
a bowl for the peas.

"You know your not helping right?" JC said as he 
rummaged through the paper bag Lance had brought in 
and took out the canned yams. "Ahh canned yams, the 
best way to go."

"Especially when you have no idea how to cook yams." 
Lance said as the peas easily slid into the bowl.

"Didn't I just tell you to be quiet?" JC said.

"No. I don't recall you did. And what incentive do I 
have if I do shut up?"

"More of this later." Josh said seductively as he 
grasped Lance's hand in his and kissed him 
forcefully, turkey, yams and peas forgotten for the 
moment.

**

"Are you guys ready yet?" Kristen Willis yelled into 
the house of Brian Littrell and Leighanne Wallace-
Littrell. Her and Kevin had spent the last day at her 
cousin-in-laws house before going down to Orlando to 
JC and Lance's house for a big Thanksgiving meal. It 
had become a big tradition for the two bands to get 
together around Thanksgiving time for a special meal 
between the ten of them and their girlfriends, and 
now wives.

Leighanne came down the stairs. "Yeah Bri will be 
down in a sec. You know it takes him forever to get 
ready in the morning." Leighanne paused at the bottom 
of the stairs as she walked into the living room and 
sat down on one of the two couches in the room and 
put on her stockings and shoes. "Have you told him 
yet?" Leigh asked Kristen.

"Nope. I just couldn't do it last night." Kristen 
said as she sat down on the couch next to Leigh.

"You know you're gonna have to tell him soon though 
right? I mean relatively soon it will be kinda 
difficult to hide."

"Yeah I know. I'm gonna tell him tonight. I promise." 
Kristen swore.

"You don't have to tell me you promise to tell him 
hun, you just gotta do it." Leighanne said as she 
stood up and walked back over to the staircase. 
"Brian, if you are not down here in the next two 
seconds we are leaving without you!!" she yelled up 
the steps.

"I'm comin', I'm comin'." Brian said as he appeared 
in the hallway in front of the staircase.

"Well get your fine Kentucky butt down here mister so 
we can leave." Leigh said as she put on her coat.

"Okay I'm down. Hey, where's Kev?" Brian asked as he 
too put on his jacket.

"In the car. Unlike some people he didn't wake up ten 
minutes ago." Leigh said as she kissed Brian on the 
cheek.

"But you still love me anyway." Brian smiled as he 
picked up a box of bakery cookies he promised Josh he 
and Leighanne would bring as part of dessert.

"Yes unfortunately I do." Leigh laughed as she 
quickly opened the front door and ran to the Four-
Runner waiting outside.

"You're lucky I love you so much girl, otherwise 
you'd be in deep trouble for all the cracks you make 
at me." Brian yelled as he locked the door to his 
house and Kristen laughed the whole time.

"You got the ring, right Bone?"

"Yes I have the ring, yes it's fine, and no I won't 
forget it." AJ said as he placed the ring he was 
asked to pick up in his jacket pocket and zipped it 
for good measure, just to make sure it wouldn't fall 
out.

"Thanks so much. I would get it, I just haven't had a 
free moment too."

"Yes yes, we all know, you and Juju just can't get 
enough of each other. Please save me the sugar 
story." AJ said sarcastically.

"Shut up. Like you don't talk about Manda to the 
point of annoyance, 'Poopy this... Poopy that...' and 
you tell ME I talk about him too much. Shessh." The 
voice on the other end pantomimed.

"Shove it. I'll give you the ring at Josh and 
Lance's. See ya in a few."

"Bye J." AJ heard as he placed his cordless back in 
the holder.

"Manda! We gotta go!" He yelled.

"Already one step ahead of ya sweetums." Amanda said 
as she held up the keys to AJ's Forrest Green 
Explorer between her fingers. "Did you get everything 
straightened out?" she asked as AJ took the keys.

"Yep. I'm gonna give him the ring there." AJ said as 
he opened his garage door and went over to his 
'baby'. "You coming?"

"Yes." Amanda said as she shook her head and locked 
the door to the garage from the kitchen before 
getting into the passenger's side door of the 
Explorer.

**

As Joseph Fatone, his girlfriend of one year Crystal 
Flowers, Christopher Kirkpatrick, and his girlfriend 
of three years Danielle Suthers entered the front 
door to JC and Lance's house, they heard as small 
cheer and JC's voice say, "Yes! The turkey is done!"

Lance entered the main hallway shaking his head in 
slight enjoyment of Josh's antics in the kitchen. 
"Hey guys. Let me take your coats for ya.

As you can see C is in the middle of cooking, but 
snacks and stuff like that are in the TV room."

"Yeah so we heard. How's that coming anyway?" Chris 
asked as he took off his coat and handed it to Lance.

"Oh interesting to say the least. Let's just say that 
Josh has gained a new appreciation for his mother and 
all of the times she has cooked Thanksgiving for the 
family." He said as everyone laughed.

Walking into the TV room, Joey and Crystal snuggled 
up on one couch, while Chris and Dani opted for a 
loveseat. Seeing the snacks on the table, Joey yelled 
"Yes! You remembered the Cheezwiz!" Everyone laughed.

Lance's bass voice reverberated through the house as 
he put the coats in the closet. "Yes I remembered to 
get that damn Cheezwiz you love so much at 
Thanksgiving. I still don't understand where this 
obsession comes from Joe." He stated as he came into 
the room.

"It's a long story. Lets just say it became a 
tradition at my house and I can't have a thanksgiving 
without it."

"Anyway, which game are we gonna watch?" Chris said 
as he started randomly channel surfing.

"I say the Texas versus Florida State game." Joey 
said as he placed some Cheezwiz on a cracker.

"Sounds good to me." Chris said as he turned on the 
channel that the game was on.

"We'll go see if JC needs some help." Dani said as 
she gave Chris a kiss on the cheek, and Crys did 
likewise with Joey.

"Okay." Joey said through a mouthful of the cheese 
product.

Danielle and Crystal laughed to themselves as they 
entered the kitchen. "Hey Josh. Need help?" Crystal 
asked.

"Hey Crys, Dani. If you guys could do something with 
the stuffing that would be great." JC said.

"Sure C." Danielle said as her and Crystal started to 
put together the stuffing.

"Justin if you don't stop doing that we are never 
going to get to Josh and Lance's." Nick Carter said 
as his boyfriend of two years Justin Timberlake 
kissed the side of his neck, one of Nick's more 
vulnerable spots.

"And why would that be a bad thing?" Justin whispered 
into Nick's ear as he resumed kissing his neck.

"Because at the rate you're going I'm gonna crash 
into something, that's why." Nick was able to get out 
before he uttered a loud moan from Justin's kisses.

"Well then I'd die a happy man." Justin said as he 
collapsed back into the passenger's side seat.

"And I'm sure you would Curly." Nick laughed as he 
pulled into JC and Lance's driveway. "We're here."

"Goodie. Now I can die from JC's cooking instead." 
Justin said as he opened the door of Nick's Jeep.

"It isn't THAT bad. I've had some of JC's cooking 
before." Nick said as he locked his car.

"No, you had some of JC's cooking when Joey was 
helping him. Joey ain't helping him this time." 
Justin stated.

"Well we'll just see. You don't have much faith in 
your best friend do you?" Nick laughed.

"Nope. Not when it comes to cooking." Justin said as 
he kissed Nick on the cheek, with the two blondes 
entering the main hallway of the house. Suddenly they 
heard a yell of, "What the heck kind of call is that 
ref!" from the TV room. "Joey's here I see." Justin 
sighed.

"I guess so."

"Hi guys." Lance said as he entered the main hallway.

"Hey Scoop." Justin and Nick chorused as they both 
took off their coats and gave them to Lance.

"Everyone's in the TV room, and dinner will hopefully 
be in about another 45 minutes. Barring anymore 
catastrophes in the kitchen that is." Lance said as 
both Justin and Nick laughed.

"JC having some trouble in the kitchen?" Nick asked.

"To put it mildly, yes. Thank God we have Crys, Dani, 
Leigh and Kristen here."

The three friends laughed. "Yeah thankfully someone 
knows what they're doing." Justin said.

"I heard that Curly!" JC yelled from the kitchen.

"And what are you gonna do about it?" Justin yelled 
back.

"No turkey for you if you don't be quiet!"

"Okay fine." Justin rolled his eyes as they walked 
into the TV room. Nick and Justin had to settle with 
cuddling on the floor, while all of the couches and 
loveseats were taken. "Where's J and Amanda?" Nick 
asked.

"Right here buddy boy." AJ announced as he and Amanda 
stepped into the room.

"Hey J. Can I talk to ya for a sec?" Nick asked as he 
untangled from Justin and stood up.

"Sure Nicky boy." AJ smiled.

"AJ." Nick whined.

"What?" AJ said sweetly.

"Nothing." Nick sighed as everyone in the room 
laughed. Nick and AJ walked into the Dining Room 
where surprisingly, the table was already set. "You 
got it?" Nick asked AJ.

AJ took out a velvet box from the zippered pocket of 
his coat.

"Here ya go kid. Gotta admit, it's a nice one."

Nick opened the box and admired the contents inside. 
Inside there was a ring with intertwined bands of 
gold and silver, while a small lone diamond sat in 
the middle on top. Inscribed on the inside was 'From 
here to eternity, love Nicky.' "Yeah I know." Nick 
said wistfully as he closed the ring box, seeing that 
its precious contents were intact.

"You really are one lucky guy." AJ laughed to 
himself.

"Yeah I am." Nick smiled as he and AJ entered the TV 
room.

**

45 minutes later

Surprisingly, there were no more catastrophes in the 
kitchen and everything was now running smoothly. 
Yams, peas, mashed potatoes, carrots, salad and gravy 
were brought out by the girls, while JC brought out 
the turkey. Surprising everyone, the turkey was 
actually edible, and JC got a compliment or two.

Nick took a deep breath, and then whispered in 
Justin's ear, "Come with me."

"Nicky where are we going?" Justin asked.

"Just outside." Nick said as he took Justin's hand. 
"If you'll excuse us for a minute guys." He addressed 
his friends.

"Sure you two go on ahead." Kevin said.

Stepping out onto the enclosed front porch of Josh 
and Lance's home, Nick sat Justin down on the 
swinging bench and said, "Wait here for a sec."

"Okay. But you'd better be quick Nick, cause I'm 
getting kinda cold."

"I'll be back in a sec to warm you back up." Nick 
said as he kissed Justin on the lips and raced back 
inside. Nick came out with a wrapped medium sized box 
seconds later.

"Nick, you didn't have to get me anything. It's not 
gonna be Christmas for another month." Justin stated.

"Well I did have to get you something. I'm gonna be 
on the road for our two year anniversary and I wanted 
to give this to you now."

"Nick." Justin said, flattered, "but I didn't get you 
anything yet."

"That's alright, all I need is you. Just open your 
gift already." Nick said urgently.

Ripping through the wrapping paper, Justin quickly 
opened the box and rummaged around, his hand finally 
touching something that was hard, but had a soft feel 
to it at the same time. Grasping it, Justin was 
surprised to pull out a small ring box. "Nick, what's 
this?" Justin asked, getting slightly choked up, 
thinking about what could be in the box.

Nick took the ring box from Justin, and got down on 
one knee in front of him, opening the box. "Justin 
you've been the best friend, lover, and caring soul I 
have ever known. And my life wouldn't be complete if 
I didn't have you by my side for the rest of our 
lives. Will you marry me?"

Justin was crying full force by the time Nick 
finished his little speech. "Yes. Yes I will Nick." 
he whispered, not wanting his voice to crack and 
betray him.

Nick slipped the ring on Justin's finger and enclosed 
him in the biggest hug he could manage. "I love you 
Curly." He said softly.

"I love you too Nick. Forever." Justin whispered into 
Nick's neck, as a slight shiver from the cold ran 
down his body.

"Let's get you back inside. I wouldn't want my 
fiance to get pneumonia now would I?" Nick joked.

"No I guess not." Justin said as he wiped his runny 
nose with the back of his hand. Nick helped Justin 
get up and opened the door for him. "There we go, all 
nice and warm." Nick whispered into Justin's ear as 
he ran his hands up and down Justin's arms.

The couple walked back into the dining room, where 
everyone was still sitting and talking. "Hey guys." 
Howie said when he saw the two blondes walk back into 
the room. "Wait a sec... why do the two of you have 
those cheesy ass grins on your faces?" He asked.

"Nick asked me to marry him." Justin whispered.

"What was that?" Howie asked, not being able to hear 
Justin's whispered declaration.

Justin swallowed, "Nick asked me to marry him." He 
said a little louder, which caught everyone's 
attention.

"And Curly said yes." Nick said, still with his arms 
wrapped around Justin's waist.

All of the girls went "Oh my god." at the same time, 
and immediately went over and hugged Justin and Nick. 
All the rest of the guys, except of course for AJ who 
knew this was coming, looked at each other in shock 
for a moment and then were happy for the two blondes.

The girls immediately started talking about wedding 
plans, while Kristen herself, decided that now was as 
good a time as any. "Kevin can I talk to you?" she 
asked as she approached her husband.

"Sure hunny. I'll be back in a second guys. And 
congratulations again you two." He addressed Nick and 
Justin. Nick just smiled at the older member of the 
group, while Leigh gave Kristen a smile of 
encouragement, knowing what Kristen was about to do.

The couple walked into the kitchen, where no one was 
at the moment, and Kristen took a deep breath, "Just 
like taking off a Band-Aid." She reminded herself.

"What did you want to tell me Kris?" Kevin asked his 
wife.

"I'm pregnant." Kristen stated so fast that it almost 
sounded like one word.

"What'd you say?" Kevin said, not too sure at what he 
had just heard.

"I'm pregnant." Kristen said slower, looking down at 
the tile pattern on the kitchen floor as she said it. 
As the seconds ticked by and Kristen didn't hear a 
word come from Kevin, she feared the worst. "We can 
not have it if you do..."

"Stop right there." Kevin said defiantly as Kristen 
looked up at Kevin, tears shining in her eyes. 
"You're gonna have a baby?" he asked softly.

Kristen shook her head.

"We're gonna have a baby? I'm gonna be a father?" 
Kristen shook her head again.

"That's great!" Kevin said enthusiastically as he 
hugged Kristen with all his might. "I'm gonna be a 
daddy!!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "Come 
on.," he said, pulling Kristen's hand with him as he 
ran back into the dining room. Skidding to a stop, 
with Kristen using Kevin to stop herself, everyone in 
the room now turned their attention to Kevin and 
Kristen, Nick and Justin's news forgotten for the 
moment.

"Now why do you have that shit eatin' grin on your 
face Train?" AJ asked.

"Cause I'm gonna be a daddy. Kristen's pregnant." 
Kevin said, smiling the biggest smile possible.

"Whoa. As if Nick and Justin didn't give us enough of 
a surprise." Chris said. "That's great!" he said as 
he was the first to hug the new expecting mother and 
father. Everyone else followed suit, as the joyous 
feeling of the holidays seeped through the house for 
the rest of the night.

**

"Well I can definitely say that this is going to be a 
very memorable Thanksgiving." Lance said as he and 
Josh got ready for bed a few hours later.

"Definitely." JC said as he kissed the hollow of 
Lance's neck and the two cuddled next to each other 
in their bed.

"And to think that nothing burned down either." Lance 
said jokingly as he kissed his boyfriend goodnight.

"Be quiet." Josh scolded as he snuggled deeper into 
Lance's back.

"Happy Thanksgiving Josh." Lance whispered.

"Happy Thanksgiving James." Josh whispered as the two 
lovers fell asleep in each other's embrace.

THE END

Adios mis amigos. And I hope you all had a Happy 
Tommy Turkey Day. Jess.

PS-- And I apologize for the cheese during Nick's 
proposal. But there had to be cheese somewhere in the 
story... besides Joey's necessary Cheezwiz at 
Thanksgiving. (Don't ask where that came from.)
