Justin’s POV;

"You ready? You got to hold on," I said wrapping one of my arms around Addie and tucking my legs onto the sled. She was curled in-between my legs on this blue sled and seemed absolutely terrified. I lifted my left hand off of the ground a pushed off. Within seconds, we were flying down the snowy hill. 

Today was New Year’s Eve and we had originally planned to celebrate it in Los Angles but got snowed into the cabin. It got to the point where you can’t even drive your cars without getting stuck so we were left with no choice than to spend New Year’s here too. 

Instead of being bummed out about our situation we decided to look on the bright side and turn it into some fun. We all grabbed some sleds and decided to spend the day sledding and hanging out before all hanging out up until midnight. 

"Daddy that was fun!" Addie cheered as we hit the bottom of the hill and stood up. 

"Was it now?" I laughed as I picked her up and grabbed the sled so she wouldn’t have to walk up the steep, snowy hill. As I reached the top I noticed Selena standing near the porch as she soothed Drew. I decided to check on him. 

"Everything all good with him?" I ran my hand across the back of his head as he hid his face in Selena’s shoulder. 

"Yeah he just fell in the snow. He should be fine." Selena replied as she sat him down and wiped his remaining tears, "Are you done out here?" Selena asked Andrew. He nodded his head and Jaz offered to take him inside with her since she was heading in. 

As Andrew was taken inside I decided to take advantage of Selena’s rare free time. I wrapped my arms around the back of her waist. “Come sled with me?”

She just nodded her head as I reached out to grab her hand and lead her towards the sleds and hill. I sat down first before helping her sit as well. I made sure she was secure before taking off. 

"You better not kill me Justin Drew!" She yelled as we headed down the hill and caught quite a bit of speed. In response, I just wrapped my arms tighter. 

Selena’s POV;

"Will you grab the rest of the food off the counter, please?" I asked Aubree as she wondered into the kitchen. 

"Sure," She replied as she walked towards the kitchen. Thankfully we were still able to get cable through the TV’s even though the storm was still going wild outside. Now we were just setting out some snacks and drinks to munch on until midnight. 

We still had quite a while to go though considering it was only 7 o’clock. In hopes of keeping the little kids awake, Blake popped in a movie for them; still I was suspicious of his reasoning. I was a teenager once so I knew what watching a movie entailed. But if Ava had to pick anyone, I’m glad she chose him. Blake was a good kid and held respect for both me and Justin, growing up around us.

“Do you need help babe?” Justin wrapped his arms around me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder.

“There’s nothing left to do.” I smiled as he pressed his lips to my neck.

“Then let’s go cuddle,” he muffled against my skin.

“You have to let go of me first.” I laughed.

“No I don’t. Walk,” he instructed, pushing me towards the living room while still holding me.

“Jay,” I whined as our friends and family merely stared at us. They were used to our love-dovey behavior. Justin didn’t bother to let go of me until he spotted Ava cuddled up against Blake.

“Hey Av, come sit with daddy.” He motioned to an empty spot on the couch. Instantly her cheeks burned bright red.

“Umm…”

“Dad leave them alone,” Aubree stood up for her twin sister. He rolled his eyes at her but let it slide, asking her to sit with him instead while I sat with Andrew and Addie on the floor. Most everyone was watching the movie but a select few decided to play poker instead.

By the time the clock struck 11 all the little ones had drifted to dreamland and the guys had put them in their respective beds. The teenagers were in another room doing God knows what and the adults were sipping the night away, getting a little tipsy. It was well deserved however; being stuck in a cabin with over a dozen people is enough to drive anyone crazy.

Aubree POV;

“So are you two a thing now?” I pulled Ava aside, curious about her and Blake.

“I don’t really know,” she admitted, “I mean we kissed at Christma-“

“You kissed him!?! Oh my god!”

“He kissed me but yeah…”

“What did it feel like?”

“I don’t know. Just like his lips against mine.” She giggled.

“You’re so lucky.” She raised her eyebrows at that comment.

“I already called dibs.”

“I’m not talking about Blake you idiot. Just in general I mean. I want a boyfriend too.”

“He’s not my boyfriend.”

“Not yet.”

*

“Guys come in here! It’s almost 12!” Aunt Priscilla called everyone from the living room. We all rushed into the room, the countdown starting. Mom and dad were already kissing; no surprise there and Blake was keeping Ava close in reach so I knew he was planning on kissing her at midnight. 10, 9, 8. I looked for Jazzy but she was talking to Taylor.7, 6, 5, 4. Where’s Jaxon? 3, 2, 1. My ears rang as everyone shouted and in unison and began clinking glasses. As expected Blake had pulled Ava into a kiss but it didn’t last long before my dad broke them apart. It was quite funny actually.

Everything Will Be Alright Chapter 4

Justin POV;

“Whatever you do, don’t blow up,” Selena squeezed my shoulder gently as Jaxon walked through the door. We’d been up all night waiting for him and I’d even gone as far as calling his friends parents because usually he would be home before morning. Sel and I talked it over and decided to take a new approach at this; getting angry obviously wasn’t doing the trick.

“Where have you been?” I asked Jaxon, stopping him from pushing past me and going up to his room. He shrugged carelessly. As I looked him once over I noticed his eyes we’re red and immediately jumped to conclusions. He was out doing drugs.

“We we’re worried about you babe,” Selena murmured, pulling Jaxon into her arms. Surprisingly he didn’t fight her off, allowing her to hug him.

“I’m going to bed,” he mumbled, pulling away from their embrace. I sighed, letting him pass me on the staircase. Once he was out of earshot Selena instantly began to ramble off her thoughts.

“He’s been crying Jay. I can tell. His eyes are usually glassier after doing drugs.”

“Why would he be crying?”

“That’s for him to know and for us to figure out, I guess. Maybe we should look into some form of therapy. He won’t open up to us but maybe he will to a stranger.”

“I just want the old him back,” I whispered.

“Me too baby. Me too.”

*

“Babe! Babe! Guess what!” Selena yelled, running into the kids’ bathroom with her phone in hand. I finished lathering Adelynn’s hair before turning my attention to my beautiful wife. After the ordeal with Jaxon this morning we had a lazy day and it had passed quickly, already bedtime for the littles before I knew it.

“What?”

“Aubree got the part,” she squealed. My eyes widened in shock. I obviously knew Aubree had a knick for acting but I wasn’t expecting her to get such a huge role right off the bat. She’d auditioned for several movies but this role was more important than all of them. This role was the sole interest of the media right now and speculations had been floating around for months as to who might play such an iconic character. Out of thousands who auditioned, my baby girl got the part, I couldn’t believe it.

“Are you serious? Like a 100 percent serious!?”

“Yes! Oh my god, I’m so excited for her! When should we tell her?”

“Let’s tell her now,” I suggested, rinsing Adelynn off with the bathwater before helping her step out of the tub and wrapping a towel around her little body. Selena helped her change into her pajamas while I drained the bath, stopping by Andrew’s room to say goodnight as well. He was already in bed but I knew he wasn’t asleep yet. As soon as the babies we’re in bed Sel and I sped to Aubree’s bedroom, excited to share the news with her. As expected she was overjoyed and as soon as we told her she was running to Ava’s room. By the next morning she’d signed her contract and she was officially a part of the cast and Sel and I couldn’t be more proud of our baby.

*

Selena POV;

"Come on, Ava. It’s for your sister. You should come out and support her. This is a huge deal for her. She’s going to be on the front cover of a magazine." I said wiping down the kitchen counters before having to head out for Aubree’s huge shoot with Seventeen Magazine. Ever since she landed the huge role, photo shoot and interviews requests had come flooding in. 

It was seven o’clock in the morning and since Justin and I decided to let them be home schooled they didn’t have to start their mornings very early.

“Mom, I honestly don’t want to go and sit there for hours watching people gush over Aubree.” She replied while continuing to pick at her breakfast. 

I let out a loud sigh and continued cleaning up the kitchen while waiting for Aubree to finish showering.

“Good morning,” Jazmyn replied coming and sitting down next to Ava at the island. She turned to look at Ava, “Why aren’t you dressed? As soon as Aubree finishes we have to head out.” 

"I’m not going! My gosh, I honestly could care less about Aubree’s stupid photo shoot," She put her dishes in the sink, "All it’s been these past two weeks is Aubree this, Aubree that. This stupid world doesn’t revolve around her, so everyone should stop acting like it!" She yelled before stomping up the stairs. 

"I sense some serious jealously." Jaz said while checking her phone. I grabbed my purse off the counter and checking everything it in. 

"You think that’s what it is? She’s totally against anything that has to do with Aubree’s work." Jazmyn nodded. 

"I think she’s upset because everyone is focusing on Aubree’s new career but no one’s bothered to ask her if she wants one. She loves music and she has an amazing voice, she’s just not as outgoing as Aubree is." Jazmyn said while going a grabbing her shoes as Aubree came running down the stairs. 

I smiled at her, “Ready to go?” 

She nodded her head before following me to the garage with Jazmyn. “So ready!” 

Justin POV;

"Hey, Ava," I said walking out in the back porch and finding her on the hammock, softly strumming on her guitar. 

She turned and softly smiled before looking back out to the beautiful L.A view. I sat down next to her and thought of a way to start out this conversation. After having a long discussion with Selena, we came to conclusion that maybe it’d make her feel better if I offered her a record deal under me. It was a huge deal, but I knew she could handle it, especially with her talent. 

"So I was really thinking about something," I started off slowly. She stopped strumming on the guitar and turned to look at me. "I know how into music you are and I know how much talent you have with that so I was wondering if you’d like to come meet some people and maybe get signed under my record. So then you can make albums and everything. Is that something you’re interested in?" 

She thought about it for a few moments before speaking, “I mean, I guess. I don’t really know that much about it.” She said softly. 

"How about I just take you to the record and meet some people and we’ll see what it’s all about. You can ask questions and get to understand everything." I said, secretly hoping she’d want to go. 

"Okay, I’ll and see if I’m interested." She replied, smiling up at me. 

"Great, its tomorrow at 10 am so be ready to go!" I said standing up from the hammock and kissing her forehead softly before going back inside and giving Selena the thumbs up as I passed by her to go find my littlest princess. 

*

Ava POV;

I felt uneasy as I finished getting ready to head to the studio to meet the record label team. I slid on my boots before checking my outfit over once more and heading downstairs. Thankfully there would people I knew there.

“Ready to go, sweetheart?” My mom asked as I she finished cutting up bananas and putting them with the rest of Andrew’s breakfast. 

"As ready as I’ll ever be." I smiled lightly as I sat down on the bench while my mom went over instructions for Jazmyn to care for Andrew. Jazmyn on the other hand looked half asleep. 

"We should be back in a few hours." My mom said giving Jazmyn and quick hug and finding my dad so we could leave. 

Jaz came over to me, “Good luck, I know you’ll do great!” She gave me a tight hug before going to get herself some coffee; she’d need it if she was going to be watching Andrew all morning. 

I waved goodbye to Andrew and headed into the car with both my parents. The entire drive over I attempted to distract myself with Twitter and Instagram, but I couldn’t shake off the sickening feeling in my stomach and shaking leg. 

Being in the studio was nothing new to me. I’d grown up watching my dad make magic in here, but it was a whole new game when it came to me. I followed my dad into the studio as my mom trailed behind. We came to the exact studio my dad always recorded in and as soon as stepped foot in the room I instantly felt the nerves piling up again.

There were only a few people here; thankfully most of them were like family. Scooter sat at the table with L.A. Reid who I remember meeting briefly when I was younger, Allison was then next to Scooter, a producer that I’d only met a few times, Dan, and the most shocking was Usher sitting next to the producer. I let out a sigh of relief when realizing the only people in the room that weren’t family to me was L.A Reid and the producer.  

My dad introduced me to L.A Reid and the producer before I was greeted with hugs from everyone else. We all sat down at the table and I was next my dad and Dan. 

As the meeting went on, my nerves quickly went away. We talked about me making my own music and making an album. It was easily explained that this would all be tons of work with promoting and getting my name out there. They did mention that I would have it easy with that seeing my last name was Bieber. 

After discussing everything over they wanted me to sing for them. I had the freedom of choice with any song and it was going to go acoustic. I settled on one of my favorite songs, Back To December. 

I let my voice flow the room and it seemed that L.A Reid was impressed. “Wow, it seems she just might be better than you Justin,” L.A joked once I finished up. “And I think this is pretty much a no brainer. I don’t even have to think about it, I wanna offer you a contract and to be signed. So why don’t you think about it for a few minutes while we go grab lunch.” He said standing up and walking out of the room while the producer follower closely behind. 

"So what do you think?" My mom questioned rubbing my back softly. I was in shock. I didn’t think he’d instantly want to sign me. I didn’t even know if I wanted all of this. 

Selena’s POV;

“Mom, can you braid my hair before I go to bed, please?” Ava wandered down the long stair case, dressed in a pair of comfy shorts and one of Justin’s old tour t-shirts with her long golden brown hair dangling halfway down her back, soaking wet.

“Of course, sweetie,” I said sitting up on the couch and tossing the blanket resting in my lap aside. She sat in front of me as I began braiding her long hair.

"Where’s everyone at?" Ava questioned, "It’s like eleven and I haven’t seen anyone since dinner."

"Well your dad got held up at the recording studio so that could be awhile. Aubree, Andrew, and Addie are in bed, Jazmyn is sleeping over at her friend’s house because they had a school project, and Jaxon should be home but he’s out somewhere," I explained. I really did wonder where Jaxon was. I told him to be home by eleven o’clock and it was currently 11:21. Of course, once again he was breaking his curfew and I had no idea where he was.

"What’s up with Jaxon? He’s never around anymore," Ava mentioned quietly. I knew that Justin and I weren’t the only ones noticing Jaxon’s behavior and absence lately. Just the fact that the younger kids were starting to pick up on his attitude and absence was definitely a warning sign for me. I was really starting to get worried about him and what he was showing the four younger children that looked up to him as their uncle. I missed the little Jaxon that I used to know. That was extremely sweet and loved to laugh. I understood that he was a teenager now and he’s starting to figure himself out, but this was the completely wrong way to go about it.

"I’m not really sure," I replied. I didn’t want to tell her young ears what I really thought. She was too young to get caught up in Jaxon’s mess.

"There you go, sweetie," I smiled glumly, tying the ends of her hair together with a with a hair tie.

"Thanks, momma." She stood up from the ground and cuddled up to me on the couch. I wrapped my arms around her as she leaned her head on my shoulder, rubbing my hands up and down her back soothingly.

"I hope Jaxon gets better," She mumbled softly into my side. Ava and Jaxon have always had a close relationship growing up and the fact that she didn’t get to see him much anymore was hard on her.

"Me too,” I sighed as she fell asleep in my lap. I continued to watch the movie playing on the TV, waiting for Jaxon’s return. Time continued to tick by and before I knew it was past 12 and I was still lying on the couch, hoping Jaxon would come in soon considering I was about to pass out. I waited up for another hour, almost asleep, before I finally heard the front door open and close. Knowing that it was most likely Justin I didn’t bother to look over until I heard stumbling going up the stairs. I quickly shifted Ava off my lap and got up to investigate. There was Jaxon stumbling up the stairs.

"Where have you been?!?" I questioned following him up the stairs and into his bedroom.

"Why does it matter?" He snapped, turning around. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked like he was about to pass out.

"Because I was worried sick not to mention you’re home hours after your curfew without so much of a text to let me know where you we’re.” I stepped further into his room, closing the door behind me.

"Whatever. I’m sure you weren’t that worried. You and I both know that you don’t love me like you love your kids.” Jaxon rolled his eyes, kicking off his shoes.

"Don’t even go there. You know I love you just as much as I love them,” I explained, trying to stay calm, “Where were you?"

"Why does it matter where I was?"

"Because it just does." I stepped closer to him and that’s when I took a big whiff of him.

"Why do you smell like alcohol? And have you been doing drugs?" My stomach churned at the thought. He couldn’t be taking himself down this path.

"I don’t do drugs, Selena!" He screamed, "And I don’t smell like alcohol."

Just as I was about to reply to him I heard Justin prancing up the stairs. He walked into the bedroom and looked between Jaxon and I.

“Doesn’t he smell like alcohol?” I asked Justin as he took a sniff of Jaxon.

"Yeah,” Justin furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, “actually he does.” Obviously he wasn’t catching onto the situation.

"Your parents would be so disappointed in you. We’ll talk about your punishment in the morning, I’m going to bed and you are too." I said walking out of the room with Justin following me. As soon as Jaxon’s door was shut I let the tears fall. Justin stopped me, pulling me into his chest.

“I hate fighting with him,” I whimpered, “I’m so sick of it.” I could feel his hand rubbing circles on my back.

“What happened?”

“Can you please put Ava to bed? She fell asleep on the couch. I’ll meet you in bed.” I ignored his question, wiping my tears and pulling my hair back into a pony with a deep breath. Justin nodded, kissing my forehead.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”

Justin POV;

“Should we send him to school?” Selena rubbed her temples, leaning against the kitchen counter. I’d just gotten back from dropping the littles off at their respective schools and part time daycare but Sel and I decided to let Jaxon sleep in because he was up all night sick.

“I don’t know,” I sighed, hopping onto the counter. I knew he was probably feeling miserable and I did feel kinda bad but then again it was his decision to drink and experiment with drugs and he knew beforehand what the consequences would be.

“Maybe we should just let him stay home today. We can sit down and have a talk with him. I don’t know, what do you think?”

“But it’s my only day off this week,” I whined playfully, pouting my lips. Selena threw her head back laughing, slapping my arm softly.

“Justin, I’m being serious.”

“I know,” I chuckled, “He can stay home. I’ll call the school and then we can go wake the sleeping beauty.”

*

“Get the fuck out of my room! It’s none of your business what’s in here. I’m not even your fucking son so it doesn’t matter. I don’t have to listen to you!” Jaxon hissed grumpily. Selena and I had sat him down for a talk but it wasn’t much of a talk because he wasn’t willing to participate in any other manner than scream cuss words so we’d been fighting all afternoon.

“This is my house, and as long as you live under my roof you will follow my rules,” I growled.

“There are no drugs in there because I’m not taking that shit!” he screamed, physically trying to stop me from opening his drawers as I went through them. Sel stood at the door watching, biting her bottom lip. I knew she wanted to stick up for Jaxon because she always saw the best in everyone and gave everyone the benefit of doubt but we we’re both beyond pissed off with Jaxon and it was time to get this straightened out.

“Don’t touch that!” he cried as I pulled out a cardboard box from the bottom right drawer, the last one left to check. I disregarded him and pushed past him with the box, taking it into the kitchen to cut the tape off.

“Justin,” Selena whispered her hand on my back as I grabbed some scissors, “maybe you shouldn’t.”

“Don’t tell me you don’t think he’s got a stash.” I rattled the box to hear glass clinking.

“Let’s wait until he calms down,” she murmured, her eyes trailing to the bottom step where Jaxon sat, his head buried in his hands.

“No, we’re opening it now.” I tore the box open and just like I expected there were a few bags of pills and a bottle of beer. Rage took over and I smashed the box on the ground out of anger, 3 old pictures of Jaxon with dad and Erin fluttering out.

“I’m going to go pick up the kids from school. I’ll be back,” I mumbled under my breath, grabbing the keys and slamming the front door behind me. I needed some time to think and collect my thoughts before I blew up on Jaxon.

*

“Daddy! What are you doing here daddy!?” Adelynn squealed, running into my arms as she spotted me waiting outside her classroom. Usually Sel was the one to pick the kids up from school or they’d ride the bus because I worked in the afternoons.

“Hi princess,” I smiled, kissing her cheek before lifting her up, “how was your day at school?”

“It was good,” she grinned, showing off her toothless smile, “I made you and mommy a picture. Oh, and Sarah brought her puppy in today and she said that we’re getting one too!”

“She did?” I navigated my way out to the parking lot. Because Sel and I did send our kids to public school there was a bigger chance of information about our lives leaking but the kids, well the older ones knew to keep their mouths shut for the most part and it was nice to have that normalcy for them. There was a disadvantage of people addressing rumors or taking them up with the kids but it was what it was. Technically nobody was allowed to bother them but we couldn’t change it so we just had to deal with it.

“Yeah! She said that we’re gonna get a white a brown puppy,” Adelynn nodded eagerly, “Are we really daddy? Are we?” Sel and I had gone to the shelter the other day to donate some stuff and we’d taken a picture with a dog which matched Adelynn’s description. The pictures must’ve surfaced.

“Not right now baby. Mommy and I we’re just visiting the doggy and give it some food,” I explained.

“But I already named it spots,” her eyes filled with tears.

“Maybe we can go visit him.” I compromised. After a huge fight with Jaxon I couldn’t handle any more tears.

“Okay,” she sighed, climbing into the car, “daddy I love you.”

“I love you too bub.” I strapped her in before starting the car up and pulling out onto the road, off to pick up Drew and the twins since Jaz took her car to school this morning. It was the calm before the real storm.

~Dun, dun, dun. What's gonna happen..? Feedback prutty please!
