| Chapter 2 � 8:00am October 9th, 1999 (Chris�s POV) �Chrissy, honey. We are so late,� I said to Chrissy who had rolled over to face me. �What,� Chrissy asked as she yawned. �Did you say that we already ate?� �No, I said we are running really late,� I said. �We have to get up and get moving. What time is your first appointment today?� �Um�� Chrissy began as she sat up. �We can�t be running late! What time is it? I have a very important meeting this morning at 8:30.� �It�s 8:02,� I said watching get up and run into the bathroom. �Honey, don�t worry. I will get Danielle ready and over to Crystal�s. Our recording doesn�t start until 10 this morning.� �Okay,� Chrissy said. �I need to find my shoes that I got yesterday.� �They are in the closet,� I said as I got out of bed and got them down from the shelf I put them on last night. �Here they are.� Chrissy�s hair was up in half a ponytail and she had on a blue suit. The skirt was short and she had on a white shirt ticked into the skirt. Her jacket was lying on the bed along with the shoebox. �Okay Chris,� Chrissy said as she came out of the bathroom with the finishing touches on. �Danielle�s diaper bag is downstairs. I forgot to bring it up last night. Her cup needs to be washed and there is a movie that I rented yesterday on the kitchen table. Make sure that you bring her lunch that I packed last night and I packed one for all the guys, too. Have fun today and I will see you at 5.� �Okay,� I said listening to Chrissy go on and on for what seemed like forever. I watched her lips and how she acted while she was explaining everything to me. It was moments like these that made me realize how much I love her and how much she meant to me. I also realized how much I want her to get pregnant again. She made such a great mom and how I made a great dad. �I will see you later,� She said. I watched as she walked out the door and down the stairs out to her Blue Ford Explorer. She honked her horn as she drove away from the house. I know it was tough for her being a shrink and me being a part of *Nsync. We both loved what we did and it was tough on both of us when the guys and me were away on tour. We were recording our new Album, �No Strings Attached� right now. We were hoping that it would be better then out self-titled album was. I got up and went down to the nursery to see Danielle standing in her crib waiting for me to get her up. �Hi sweetie,� I said as I ran over to her crib and picked her up in my arms. She giggled. �Daddies here.� Danielle cooed as I picked her up and held close to my neck. I walked out of the room and downstairs so that she could eat some breakfast. I placed Danielle in her high chair and cut up some fruit for her. I was preparing some pancakes for us. I made her baby pancakes and for myself I made huge ones. I cut them in half for her and put some syrup on a paper plate. I watched as she dipped her pancake in the syrup. After breakfast it was 8:44am. I picked up Danielle and brought her upstairs. I started the bath water. I slid her into the tub as she splashed around. �Da da,� She said. �Water.� �Yeah, it�s water,� I said. I held up a rubber ducky. �What�s this?� �Ducky,� She said as she splashed around. �Daddy, what this?� I looked over and saw that she had the washcloth. �That is a washcloth. You use it to clean your body,� I said getting the soap and applying it to the cloth. I made it soapy and washed her little growing body. I rubbed it over her tummy and pushed harder so that I could tickle her. She squirmed and laughed as I kept tickling her. I took her out of the bathtub a few minutes later and started to get her ready. (Crystal�s POV) �Lance, where is Chrissy,� I asked as I walked into our room with a laundry basket. �There�s daddy.� Stephanie sat up from the clean clothes and started laughing. �Daddy,� She said. �Hey, how�s my big girl,� Lance asked as he crawled from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. He picked her up and started playing with her. Stephanie was 2 and a half. I looked over at the clock on the wall and it said 9:48am. �Where the heck is�� I began as the doorbell rang. �I�ll get it. Stay here with the little monster.� I tickled Stephanie as I walked out the door and down the stairs to the front of the house. I opened the door and Chris was on the other side with Danielle in his arms. �Hey Crystal,� Chris said as he handed me Danielle�s diaper bag and her cup. �Lance leave yet?� �No, not yet. He was waiting for you,� I said as I let him in. �Let�s put this stiff on the couch.� �Okay,� Chris said. He left the diaper bag and Danielle on the couch. �Can you go get Lance for me?� Sure,� I said. I walked up the stairs leaving Chris taking Danielle out of the jacket and shoes. �Lance, Chris is here and he wants to see you. Besides you have to go.� �Okay,� Lance said as he walked down the stairs in front of me. �I will be home about�� �We�ll be back at about 4 or so,� Chris said interrupting. �Oh,� Lance said as he handed me Stephanie and gave her a kiss on the forehead. �I will see you later sweetie.� Chris came up to me and gave me a hug. I put my arm around his waist and we stood there talking for a second while Lance got ready. �Chrissy will be home late so she is going to call because she wants to get everybody over here for some kind of announcement or something,� Chris said. �So I don�t know.� �Okay, well then I will see you both later,� I said as I gave Chris a kiss on the cheek. �I love you.� �Love you too,� Chris said. �Oh! I put some movie in the diaper bag that Chrissy rented for the kids today.� �Okay,� I said. Lance Lance walked up to me and wrapped me up into his arms. �I love you, sexy,� Lance said. �I love you so much and I will see you later tonight.� �I will look forward to it,� I said as I gave him a kiss. �Don�t miss us too much.� �I already do,� Lance said as him and Chris walked out the door and over to Lance�s Candy Apple Red 4-Runner. I watched from the window as they pulled away from the house, both of them waving until they were out of site. �Do you want to watch a movie,� I asked the girls who sat on the couch together. |
