"Damn Amber. That was amazing. Different, but fucking amazing." Joe pants as he tries to catch his breath when they finish making love. "I don't know how I'm going to be expected to perform a two hour show tonight."
Amber gets up and starts picking up her clothes. She looks back at Joe. "Is different good or bad? I mean I know you said amazing, but what do you mean by different?" Amber's a little self conscious. They've been sleeping together for a long time now. After being reunited would he want it to be different than it was before or the same? Amber only tried something different because of the whispers Sam's been doing in her ear. It's starting to get to her. She really should tell Joe about it, because Sam's definitely not getting tired of fucking with her.
"I just mean different. Definitely not bad though. It was amazing like I said." Joe watches Amber closely. He can tell by her demeanor that something is bothering her now. Maybe his use of the word different when talking about their love making hit a nerve with her.
"But you also said it was different. What do you mean? Do you not want us to do different things than we've always done? I thought you'd like it. I'm sorry." Amber's getting emotional now. That makes Joe feel bad, he didn't mean to upset her. He doesn't understand why it upset her so much. Now he knows something's bothering her. Something she's not telling him.
Joe stands up and gets Amber to sit on the couch with him. "Amber, what's going on? Why is that so upsetting to you? Babe, making love to you is hands down the most exquisite thing I've ever felt in my life. No matter how we do it, it will always be better than anything else. So whether it's different or the same old same old, I'll still love it."
Amber tries to let this ease her mind. She starts to tell Joe about Sam fucking with her, but doesn't get the chance because someone knocks on their door. Amber jumps up and runs for the bedroom to get dressed. Joe doesn't care about answering the door with just his shirt wrapped around his waste.
It's just Jordan with Joey. "Hey Joe, where's my daughter?"
"She's getting dressed. You want to come in and wait for her? Hey kid, did you have fun with grandpa?" Joe moves aside for Jordan but he declines. "Tell Amber he was a natural on the piano. And I think if we keep working with him he'll be better than me. Tell Pops bye kid. Bye Joe, see you in a little while." Amber comes out just as Joe closes the door. She starts laughing when she sees he's just got his shirt covering himself. "I hope Jordan dropped him off and not Andi." She picks up Joey when he runs to her.
"Yeah it was Jordan. He says the kid's a natural born pianist. The next Mozart or something." He rustles Joey's hair and kisses Amber as he walks into the bedroom.
"Did you enjoy your time with Pops?"
"Yes momma. We played on his piano. It was so much fun. I'm hungry momma." Amber kisses him and puts him down. "Okay sweetie, let's fix you something to eat."
Amber's making Joey a snack when Joe comes out of the bedroom, freshly showered and now fully dressed. "You going to come to the show tonight?" He asks as he pulls her into his arms. "I'm getting pretty used to seeing you standing out there, watching me perform." The thought of watching Joe perform excites her, until the thought of Sam whispering some detail about their sex life in her ear enters her mind. That turns her excitement into misery. She can't keep hearing how good her husband was at fucking Sam. She's going to end up losing her shit and punching the bitch. And that's the last thing she wants to do.
"I don't know babe. I might just stay on the bus with Joey tonight. Danny's girls have watched him every show so far. Maybe they want to see their dad perform." Amber pulls away from Joe and now he knows he's hit a nerve.
"Bring Joey with you then. I got him those ear muffs. He'll love seeing the show. And I'd love to see him at the show." Amber doesn't think Sam will say anything if she has Joey with her. "Okay we'll both be there."
Joey squeals and sings as he watches the show. He's so excited to see his Dad, his Pops and his Uncles up on that big stage. Joe motions for Amber to come closer to the stage. When she does he reaches down for Joey. He carries him around the stage as they all sing. All the guys fawn all over him. The audience let's out an "Ahhhh" in unison when Joey sings the lyrics perfectly with his dad.
It melts Amber's heart to see how much Joe loves showing off their son to his fans. And to see how much the fans love it too. She can't help but smile.
When the song finishes Joey says something to the other guys, they all nod. Joe hands Joey to Jon as Jordan sits down at the piano that's at the back of the stage. Joe takes center stage. "How's everybody doing tonight?" The crowd cheers. "That's great! I want to introduce you all to my kid, Joey. Come here son, say hi to all the nice people." Jon puts Joey down and he runs to Joe. Joe puts the microphone to his mouth. "Hi." Joey says in his sweet little voice. Another "Ahhhh" from the crowd.
"So you're all in for a little treat tonight. I'm sure most of you know some of us have our little solo projects we do. Well even when it's something for our solo stuff, we all still work together on it most the time. I have a new song we put together for my next solo album. The guys have agreed to help me out with it just tonight. A little something special. Now I'm going to try and get my wife up here too. Can't promise she'll join me though. Maybe if you all help me. On the count of three, everyone say Amber get on stage. Okay? Okay. One. Two. Three. "Amber get on stage!!"
Amber's surprised by how loud they all are. The crowd cheers for her to get on stage and then erupts in applause when she finally does. Even though she's been on stage before, she's just a little embarrassed. Joey runs to her as she steps on stage. She picks him up, almost using him to protect herself. Jon brings her a stool to sit on and Joe kisses her softly. "This one's for you beautiful."
Jordan starts to play, it's of course something she's never heard before. When Joe starts singing Amber can't believe how beautiful he sounds. She's always thought he was a beautiful singer, but there's so much love for her pouring out of him with each word he sings. Amber can't help but cry, to know this is how he sees her, as his Supergirl. It means the world to her. "Baby it's your world, Supergirl."
He's standing right in front of her when he finishes the song. He lowers the mic and says, "I love you so much." She stands up and wraps her arm that's not holding Joey in it around his neck. "I love you too Joseph." He hugs her tight and they hear Joey, "Daddy you're squishing me." Which makes them laugh and let go of each other.
"Thanks so much for the song guys. Now finish your show, while I got fix my face." She hugs each one of the guys, lingering just a moment longer with Jordan. "Thanks Pops. I love you."
"Love you too baby girl."
