Three months. It has officially been three months since I've last seen Mike. The our was in August, and it was now just about November. We'd written to each other in e-mail and talked on the phone all the time, but it wasn't enough.

We were finally finishing up our 13th episode of ATR, and then we'd have off for the holidays until February. "I can't wait to see Chester again," Joel sighed, plopping down onto the sofa beside me. We had our own place to stay at in New York while we were recording the show. It wasn't very big or fancy or expensive... just big enough for the two of us.

"Me either," I sighed, "When do we leave for Arizona?"

"Next week," Joel replied, "On Sunday."

I nodded. "Three months is too long," I said softly, "And the phone and e-mail isn't enough."

"I know what you mean," Joel nodded, "I must've watched the video they gave us a thousand times."

I chuckled slightly and nodded. "Yeah, me too."

*~*~*~*

*Mike*

"I can't believe his hair is just black now," I laughed slightly as Chester and I finished watching the recorded tape of ATR. It came on at 3 AM, and I couldn't stay up that late 'cause I'd fallen asleep, so Chester had recorded it. But then again, we'd recorded every single episode, so it didn't really matter.

"I know," Chester grinned, "And Joel SO got that red mohawk from ME! Do you hear me? ME I tell you!"

"Alright dude," I laughed, "Someone's had some coffee. A little too much at that."

"Damn right," Chester grinned, "So. Speaking over Benjers and Joelsy, are you going to tell Benji the news?"

"What news?" I asked, deciding to play dumb just to piss him off.

"MIIIIIIKE," Chester whined, "You know what news. The knews that Benji's gonna be a Daddy!"

"Yeah... I will," I replied, rubbing my stomach gently, "I just wanna tell him face to face is all. I won't feel right by telling over the phone or through e-mail. It just seems like the right thing to do by telling him to his face, y'know?"

Chester nodded. "It's kinda hard to believe," he said softly, "I mean, I had no idea that guys could have kids."

"Me either," I chuckled, "It's some scientific breakthrough or something. We're just lucky that my doctor is my Uncle as well. So he won't go blabbing it out to the press or anything."

Chester nodded again. "Yeah. I'm happy for you man. I'm sure Benji will be too. From what I've read about them online and all, they love the kids and all that go to their shows. And I'm talking little kids even. And Benji seems like the kinda guy who would have a softspot for babies."

"Yeah," I smiled, "I can't wait to see him again. He was talking about maybe him and Joel coming over here for the Christmas holidays."

*~*~*~*

*Joel*

"So, they think we're gonna be there for Christmas only?" I laughed as Benji told me about his conversation with Mike.

"Uh huh," Benji giggled like a little kid, "They think we're gonna get there around Christmas time. They have no idea we'll be there sooner than they think!"

I laughed and nodded. We were on the plane to Arizona now. And Chester and Mike had no idea we were coming. At all. By the time the plane landed, it would be around 3 AM, so we were gonna stay in a hotel until the next day, when we'd drive the rest of the way to their house.

"God... I can't wait to see Mike again," Benji sighed, "It's been too long."

"Yeah I know," I agreed, "Three months is too much. Even though they DID go by pretty fast. It was still too much."

Benji nodded, looking out the window at the passing land. "Yeah. Wha ttime is it now?"

"2:30," I replied, "We have an hour before we land."

*Chester*

I laid in my bed, just staring at the ceiling. I'd done this a lot in the past three months. Just looked at the ceiling, seeing Joel's face and daydreaming about him. I couldn't wait to see him again. Everynight I'd alway wish he was here with me.

Or that I could be where ever he is. But I knew that I wouldn't get to see him again until Christmas time. Which was too long of a wait. Way too long. I sighed and closed my eyes, willing myself to fall asleep. Mike was already out in his own room.

I still couldn't believe that he was three months pregnant. It seems so surreal. I mean, it's not an everyday thing for guys to have kids. But it did kinda make sense when I thought about it now. Back on the tour when he'd gotten sick with a so-called stomach bug. He'd been throwing up and had stomach pains. But he described the stomach pains as feeling like pressure and not so much as pain.

Then he'd started getting weird food cravings, and that's when I made him see the doctor, and he's found out the news. It was shocking, and Mike cried a lot at first, but he's used to the fact that he's pregnant now. I think he's even happy as ever.

I know that I'm happy for him. And Benji will most-likely be thrilled with the news. I sighed again, unable to wait until I could see Joel.
