Colleen POV

I am on my 5th last show. I am almost 5 months pregnant and I am done. Rachel laughs at me daily as I waddle around. All the fans at the meet and greet are rubbing my belly too. I love it. I know I am going to love being a mom so much. Rachel and I are at the venue and she is getting set up. I sit backstage usually until show time. I get up slowly to go use the washroom and trip over one of the legs of the couches. I braced my fall somewhat but my foot is bleeding like crazy. I can't stand on it. I start crying from the pain. I call for anyone who can hear me and a stage hand hears me and comes running. I tell them to get my sister immediately. I hear running down the hallway and I know its Rachel. "Holy shit Colleen! what happened?" she says as she bends down to me. "I tripped and well smashed up my foot" I say. "I see that...you need a doctor sis" she says. Just as she is saying that another stage hand comes around the corner and asks me if I want them to get a doctor from the clinic next door. "yes please" I say. A few minutes later a lady walks around the corner. "Hi I am Dr. Sanders" she says. "I am Colleen and this is my sister Rachel" I say as I cringe. "Did you trip?" she asks as she takes some dressings etc out of her bag "Can you stand or bend it?" she asks about my left foot. "I haven't tried but it hurts alot" I say. "How many months pregnant are you? Did you hurt your stomach?" she says. "No my foot and knee took the brunt of the fall. I am almost 5 months" I say. I am wincing as she is cleaning my foot with solutions and wrapping it. "I need you to stand on it Colleen" she asks as her and Rachel help me up slowly. "its okay" I say. "It hurts but I can stand on it" I say. "Okay well I really think you need stitches but I bandaged it up enough for right now. When is your show done?" she asks. "930pm" I say. "I will come back ok?" she says. "Thank you so much"Rachel and I both say.

Josh POV

Colleen always calls me before her shows and today she didnt. I call her and she picks up on the first ring. "Hi baby" she says. "Hi, did you forget about me?" I ask. "No, we had other things going on" she says. "LIke?" I say. "Stuff" she says. "Colleen....pls dont play games" I say. I hear her sigh. "Ummm I kinda just fell 30 minutes ago and injured my foot and the doctor is coming back to put stitches in it. But I dont think its broken...which is good" she says. I gulp. "Baby! Oh my god" I say. "is Rachel there?" I ask. "Yes and I am fine. I will call you after the show. By the way the baby is fine too so dont worry" she says. "I worry about you and the baby babe" I say. "Okay call me back later" I say. I sit and wait freaking out a little bit.

A few hours later Colleen is calling me. I pick up and hear her sniffling. "Hi" she says. "Whats wrong....is it your foot?" I ask her. "Yes" she says. "The doctor is looking at it now" she says. "She is putting stitches in it" she says. "Just breathe babe" I say. "Ok" she says. I talk her through the doctor working on it. I hear the doctor mumble something and Colleen say thank you to her. I hear Rachel saying thank you as well. "Okay I am back" she says. "How many stitches?" I ask her. "17" she says. "Oh my god babe that is a lot!" I say. "Ya I did a good job on it" she says. "Send me a pic" I say. "ok one sec" she says. I hear my phone go off and look at the image. "Colleen!!! It is a mess" I say. "Oh my god baby....can you continue with your last 4 shows?" I ask her. "I am gonna try" she says. "Ok call me when Rachel gets you to the hotel babe" I say. "ok" she says.
She facetimes me as soon as Rachel brought her back to the hotel. "Hi baby" she says. "How are you doing sweetie?" I ask. "I am good Rachel propped up my foot on a pillow but she has gone to the pharmacy to get antibiotics and dressings as the doctor prescribed" she says. She pans the camera down to her foot and it is so swollen. "Babe I wish I was there" I say. "Its fine babe. Only a few more days til I am done" she says.
