Chapter 7

 

"Welcome to my humble home." Howie said, as he opened the door and led us all in. "I normally live at my parents, but when rehearsals are up I go to this house." "I knew that." Nick said. "But Libra didn't." Howie said. "Whatever..." I sighed. "Alright you guys, I'll show you your rooms so you can unpack your stuff." Howie said. "Sure." AJ said. Howie went upstairs and showed us our rooms, like he said. Then Brian, Kevin and AJ went and put their bags in their rooms, as Nick, Howie and me went back downstairs. "You need anything?" Howie asked us. "No." Nick said. "You sure?" Howie asked. "Well, I'd love to have some eggs with chocolate." Nick then said. "What!?" AJ asked, as he walked into the livingroom. "Eggs with chocolate? Man, how can you eat something like that?" he said, while he sat on the couch across us and shook his head. "I'll make it for you." I said, as I got up. "Howie, where's the kitchen?" I asked. "Nah, you're my guests. I will make it." Howie said. "But I'd like to help." I said. "Alright." Howie said. Brian and Kevin came walking into the livingroom too now. "You guys want anything too?" Howie asked. "Nah, I'm fine." Brian said. "Some coffee would be nice." Kevin said. "Yeah, I'd like a beer." AJ said. "Alright, coming up." I said, as me and Howie went for the kitchen.

            "Must've been a shock when you found out Nick got pregnant by you, huh?" Howie asked, as he grabbed a pot of coffee outta a closet. "Yeah it was indeed." I said. Howie grabbed a cup outta the closet. "Tell me, I never went along with you guys on tour so I dunno how stuff goes. Do you guys always come together at your house when you got rehearsals?" I asked. "No." Howie said. "Sometimes we go to AJ's." "Really?" I asked. "It's much easier. Besides, why take a hotel when you can stay at a friend’s house? My house is big enough for all of the guys to stay. It's 1 of the reasons why I took this house, so I'm near our base." Howie explained. "Wow." I said as I took some eggs and some butter from the fridge. Howie went and grabbed a frying pan from a kitchen cabinet and handed it over to me. "Are you really gonna put chocolate with that?" Howie asked, as he passed the salt to me. I put the frying pan on the fire, as I melted some butter in it. "Yup, it's disgusting but boo asked for it." I said, as I took the eggs, cracked them on the edge of the frying pan and put the shells in the trashcan behind me. "Owh how disgusting." Howie sniggered as he put the coffee in the coffee machine. "I know." I giggled, as I put the salt and the chocolate on top of the eggs. Howie took some beer from the fridge. "You need anything yourself?" he asked me. "Nope, not a thing." I said. "I sure hope Nick can cope with the tour and stress it brings along, now he's pregnant and all." Howie said. "Me too, that's why I really wanna come with him." I said. "Nick is so lucky to be having a gurl like you." Howie said. I blushed a little as I grabbed some bread and put the eggs on a plate. "Let's bring this to the guys." I said, as I picked up the plate and went off to the livingroom with Howie.

"Yeah, thanx babe!" Nick said as I handed the eggs with chocolate to him. "You're not gonna eat that, are you?!" Brian asked. "Yes I am." Nick said with a smile. Howie passed Kevin his coffee and AJ his beer. He then sat next to me and Nick, sipping his beer. "Alright, are you sure you can dance along with rehearsals?" Brian asked. "Yeah, when things get to ruff for me I'll just pass. But I'm sure I can handle it." Nick said, taking a bite from his eggs with chocolate. "I can't believe he just took a bite." AJ said, looking a little disgusted at Nick’s plate. "Wanna try it?" Nick asked, taking another bite. "No thanx." AJ said. "Let's just run thro the list of songs we're gonna do." Kevin said, taking out a list from his pocket. "Cool!" I said. "Are you guys gonna do Everybody again? I loved it when you did that the last time." I said. "I think we're gonna do a medley of We've got it goin', Everybody and Everyone." Howie said. "Aww... Owh well." I sighed. "Hey, I can't seem to get the right notes on Quit Playin Games." Nick said. "Then let's go and sing that a little right now." AJ said. "Sure, why not." Brian said. The guys went and coughed a little. Then AJ and Kevin started beatboxing and Brian sang the 1st verse. "Even in my heart, I see..." But suddenly Nick went and barfed all over Howie’s carpet. "My carpet! My beautiful pure white carpet I bought from an Arabian guy at a flea market!" Howie shouted. "I tolled ya eating that crap was a bad idea Nick." AJ said. "Ehm... Libra, you go help Nick clean himself up while I go and try to get this carpet clean." Howie said. "You won't get this clean, the barf stain will stay in it forever!" Kevin said. "OMG, how disgusting!" Brian said. "Howie, I will buy you a new carpet, okay." Nick said. "You just go and get yourself cleaned up, there are some extra towels in the bathroom" Howie said. "Thanx Howie." I said, as I pulled Nick along with me to the stairs. "Well, I can throw my carpet away now." Howie sighed. "Let's just roll it offa the floor and put it in the yard for now." AJ said. "In the yard?! Okay..." Howie sighed. Kevin, Brian, AJ and Howie went and tried to pull the carpet offa the floor as I took Nick upstairs to clean him up in the bathroom.

            "I feel so disgusting." Nick suddenly sniveled. "Aw, don't say that." I said, as I helped him outta his shirt, which was totally under barf. I turned on the shower and washed his face and chest. "The guys must think I'm disgusting. Me, a 21-year-old guy pregnant and just barfed on Howie's carpet! That's the sickest crap ever!" Nick cried. "Don't be so hard on yourself! Lots of pregnant women go thro exactly what you're going thro now. I'm sure the guys can understand that." I said. "I hope so." Nick sighed. He stroke his hands thro my curly hair and kissed my forehead. "Come on, you're clean now. Let's find ourselves some clean clothes." I said. Nick turned off the shower. "I think there were some clothes in the room Howie gave us." Nick said. "Alright." I said as I grabbed a towel, rapped it round Nicks waist and another towel to rap around me. We got outta the bathroom and walked over to our room.

            15 minutes later we got back downstairs. Howie, Brian, Kevin and AJ got rid of the carpet. "Where did you put it?" Nick asked. "In the garage... I sure loved that carpet." Howie said. "I promise to buy you a new 1, if that makes you feel any better." Nick said. "It's alright." Howie sniveled. "Alright, let's run thro some more stuff we need to do tomorrow. And then..." Kevin said. "Then it's dinner time." Nick said. "What do we eat?" AJ asked. "We could call in for pizza." Howie said. "Yeah, alright pizza." Brian cheered. "And we gotta discuss about Nicks pregnancy." Kevin said. Nick looked at Kevin. "Come on now Nick, in months you'll be huge and we've gotta think about how we should arrange stuff. How do we explain it to the fans? Do we need to tell people of our management? You know what I'm talking about? Can you still walk by the time we tour, or is the pregnancy to heavy and do you need to be moved around in a wheelchair? We gotta think ahead a little, it's only for your own safety." Kevin said. "Alright, alright." Nick said.
