� Jess? Hey, I hate to be the one to tell you but Johnny wants you in his office�.now.� Brian, the drummer said, popping his head through the door.

Grinning at Joey, for his �good luck, you�ll need it� look Jess pulls herself up from her seat and heads for the door. Walking down the hall, and digging her socked feet into the plush carpet of the huge, posh hotel Jess ran through what Joey and Lance had helped her to come up with. Stopping in front of the cracked door Jess raised her hand to knock just as the door swung open. Blinking she looked up, her grin dieing on her lips at the sight of Johnny�s face, he wasn�t happy.

�Sit� stepping back Johnny motioned to the little table across to room. Making her way over Jess set herself down in the straight backed chair on one side of the table, pushing the chair back to accommodate her growing belly.

�So when did you plan on telling me you were expecting?� he asked monotonous, motioning to her lumped stomach.

�Truthfully, when you asked. Hopefully, I wasn�t going to need to� her straight, truthful answer came.

�Who�s the father, does he have good intentions, who�s your doctor, and, seeing as I can fit this all into one breath, Do you plan to keep the baby and what do you think will happen to you job?� Johnny asked, in one, big breath.

�The fathers an old friend from LA. He knows but he�s made it pretty clear he doesn�t want to be a father, and you know what? I�m okay with that, Joey�s been a great friend through this all. I don�t have a set doctor, Joey, Lance and Lonnie have been taking turns driving me down to a walk in clinic in whatever city we�re in, and yes I plan to keep the baby, I�ve read up on all my options and tones of stuff I�m going to need to know to keep the baby and I feel well informed. To answer your next question, I�m not sure what is going to happen to my job, I don�t do much to begin with, not that I mind, so far pregnancy hasn�t slowed me down with what I do, do. But I�d also understand if you didn�t want me to continue in my position� looking up from the spot on the table that had captured Jess�s subconscious thought she met Johnny�s gaze.

�Well, unless Jack gets sick, you wont be in front of the crowd, so I have no problem with you keeping your position. As for Lance, Lonnie and Joey chauffeuring you around, I�m going to hire a doctor to come on tour with us so that you can have a stable medical care. Also, Jess, I know it�s really none of my business, but from now on I want you to tell me about things like this. Ok?� Johnny asked as he reached across the table to grip Jess fidgeting hand.

Looking up she nodded �Yah, Ill tell you from now on� With that she stood up, reach across the table and kissed Johnny�s cheek before she turned and headed towards the room shed come from only minutes before. Practically skipping into the room Jess paused long enough to flop herself safely down in Joey�s lap before returning to her giddy daze.

�Damn girl! What�s got you all happy?� Joey asked. Sticking his tongue out at her when she reached up to tweak his nose.

�I get to keep my job�� she trailed of with a grin.

�THAT�S GREAT!� Joey bellowed jumping up, spilling her to the floor.

�and�.he�s bringing in a doctor so you don�t have to whine about driving me around any more� Jess added glaring up at him from the place on the floor.

�Let�s celebrate! Ill get Lonnie, you get Lance� pulling up Jess quickly Joey made a beeline for the door. Only pausing to call back and tell Jess to stop laughing at him.

�Ms. Blackwell, I�m Paige McGarthy, I�m the doctor Mr.Wright hired. How are you?� The lady asked extending her hand.

�I�m great, it�s nice to meet you.� Jess said reaching out her own hand and clasping Paige�s hand warmly in her own.

�Jess, I just got the ultra-sound pictures back, would you like to know the gender of your baby?� Paige asked, sticking her head around the door.

�No thanks� Jess answered without looking up from her play station battle with Justin.

�Hey Jess, why don�t you want to know the gender of your baby?� Justin asked innocently from beside, reaching on hand back to prod at her gigantic belly.

�Because I�m having fun thinking up names� she answered, swatting his hand away, shed been very picky about being touched, especially by him.

�What do you think you�ll name him or her?� he asked, hand back on the controller.

�Right now I�m think, if it�s a boy Adonis Wade, and if it�s a girl Jade Abigail�

�You would name you son, �beautiful�!?!?!?� he asked in surprise.

�Yep.� Jess answered. Hitting one last button and punching the air when she won.

Jess jumped in surprise when a twinge went through her stomach. Figuring the baby kicked she returned to her practicing, banging the piano keys just right so that the melody of �entertainer� filled the empty stadium. As the minutes passed the odd feeling disappeared and Jess forgot about it.

The odd twinge had been happening more and more often and was starting to become more painful. When the next one came as a painful shock and Jess found her leg suddenly soaked she wanted to whack herself in the head. Knocking on her connecting door, she remembered that Paige had gone out a while ago and she wouldn�t answer the door. Grabbing he shoulder bag and shoes she headed out the door and down the hall the Johnny�s room. The boys were out clubbing and she knew Johnny would be in.

With a rap on the door Jess looked around, only spotting Dre and Wes sitting near the elevator. Grinning up at Johnny when the hid door cracked open she smiled.

�Water broke� Jess said simply, pointing towards her swollen stomach with a grimace as another contraction came and went within the second..

�Lets go� was all he answered, slipping on his shoes.
