Hair Dye & Emotion

Chapter 28

*Lucy's POV*

The weeks ticked down to days as the tour approached quicker and quicker and then before we all knew it, it was the day to leave. I was all packed up and ready to go as were the rest of the guys and Alicia who were all currently lounging around in my living room, Michael had dyed his hair a blue colour. They had all stopped over last night so we could all leave to go to the airport together where we were meeting all the boys family. First we would fly to America to complete an American tour and then on to the UK to tour there. I was looking forward to seeing America and England, all the culture and sights I can learn about and soak in, all with my best friends and boyfriend by my side the entire away. I knew I was going to give birth on tour, and that was worrying me. What if it was during one of the boys shows? I didn't want to ruin the concert experience for any of the fans. The others began rushing around, collecting last minute things, checking they had their passports, boarding passes, enough underwear and all their pairs of vans or converse. I sat down smugly, knowing I had already packed everything I needed so I could avoid rushing around at the last minute today. A car hork beeped outside and I looked outside to see Ashton's mum rolling up in her car to take us all to the airport, Harry and Lauren were with her. This was the first time I'd seen Ashton's mum since I found out I was pregnant. She rushed out of the car and up the pathway leading to the front door, letting herself in. I walked out to meet her in the hallway to meet her as she came into the house and the moment she saw me, she embraced me in a tight embrace, well as tight as she could considering my stomach was swelling more and more as the days past. She glanced down at my stomach and a smile broke out on her face. It was the same smile Ashton wore, it was easy to see where he got his looks and smile from, Ashton looked impecibly like his mother. Lauren and Harry ran into the house after that and screamed my name in unison.

"Lucy!" They began to charge towards me when Anne held out her arm.

"Guys, be careful precious cargo" She pointed to my ballooning my stomach. They both gaped and walked over to me, each of them wrapping their arms around me delicately as if holding me too hard would crack and break me like fragile porcelian. When they released me, they walked into the living room the greet the others, the squabble of who was going to be the best uncle/auntie starting up once more. When me and Anne were alone, she smiled brightly at me.

"How've you been? It's been a while" i asked her, turning round to take the picture of the scan off the table that was positioned near the front door. I grasped it and turned around to pass it to Anne Marie. She sucked in a breath and her eyes welled.

"My grandchild" She breathed, wiping at her eyes to rid any stray tears that had fallen. I heard a thump and saw the boys lugging their suitcases out into the hallway, ready to be put in the car boot. Ashton placed his suitcases against the far wall then came to stand next to me, wrapping one of his arms over my stomach, carressing it gently. Ashton's mum beamed at us. "I always knew you were an amazing girl for my Ashy, Lucy" She reached out and pinched one of Ashton's cheeks, causing him to blush furiously.

"Muuuuuum, please. I'm not 10 anymore. I'm nearly 21 with a baby on the way" Anne sighed as realization set in.

"Yes, I know. My baby is all grown up with a baby of his own coming. How fast you've grown and how proud you make me everyday..." she trailed off, her eyes glossing over again. Ashton let me go for a moment so he could reach over and hug his mum.

"Thanks mum, it means a lot. I love you"

"I love you too, Ashy" They let go of eachother and the boys and Alicia finished bringing their suitcases out to the car.

"Alright guys, we have a plane to catch!" Luke squealed, clapping his hands together and jumping with glee. We all paraded out to the car and clambered inside. Anne Marie, Lauren and Harry followed us and then we started off toward Sydney airport.

When we reached the airport, all the boys family were waiting for them in the boarding area. David, Joy and Mali were waiting for Calum, Karen and Daryl were waiting for Michael and Liz, Andrew, Ben and Jack were all waiting for Luke. The boys scurried over to their families to say there goodbyes before we had to board the plane. Ashton stayed to talk with him mum and siblings so me and Alicia wandered over to the seats to sit down whilst we waited for our flight to be called.

"Are you ready to travel the world? It's something we always said we would do together and now we are" Alicia said, flipping her turquoisy blue hair off her shoulder. The baby kicked, this was happening frequently now considering I was now 16 weeks into my pregnancy. We were going to L.A for a while before the tour officially started, so we could go to the hospital for my 18 week scan, where we would find out if the baby was a boy or a girl. My hand rested on my stomach as the baby continued to wriggle around.

"Yeah, I remember that! It's finally happening." We looked at eachother. Alicia's fringe fell into her face and she reached up to push it back, slightly exposing the half of a ying and yang tattoo on the side of her wrist. I bore the other half of it on my wrist. It was a symbol of our friendship. Michael's parents wandered over to us then, Michael with them.

"Mum, dad, this is my girlfriend Alicia," They both smiled brightly at her and she smiled at them smally like she always did when she met new people. Michael's mum reached forward to kiss her cheek and hug her. She looked a little awkward but I knew she appreciated it.

"It's lovely to finally meet you. You so beautiful like Michael said and you love to dye your hair too, I can see your perfect for eachother," Alicia laughed nervously along with Karen, blushing slightly. Daryl looked at me then and smiled brightly.

"Lucy! It's lovely to see you! And congratulations to you and Ashton! How is the little on treating you?" I smiled at him and returned his hug with one arm considering my other arm was across my stomach feeling my baby kicking.

"Moving around a lot more now but everything has been great" i told him. He nodded and I looked behind him to see everyone was walking towards us. Michael slipped his arm around Alicia's shoulders and she leaned against him. Liz, Andrew, Jack and Ben came over to congratulate me and Ashton as did Calum's parents. I thanked them all and we all stood around catching up when our flight was called.

"Flight 72A3 to L.A now boarding, can all passengers make thier way aboard." The attendant announced over the intercom. We all looked at eachother and began to say our final goodbyes. Lauren and Harry ran over to me, tears streaming down thier faces.

"We'll miss you. Please skype and call us?" They asked and I agreed to call them and skype them as often as I could. They hugged me but had to let go eventually so we could get on the plane. Ashton appeared beside me and kissed my cheek.

"Are you ready baby?" I turned to him and nodded my head smiling.

"i'm ready." And with that, we all boarded the plane, starting a great adventure together.
