The Pirouette Series ~ A Star Crossed Wasteland

~Chapter 12~

Everyone had scattered back home for our break. Management was working on scheduling the second leg of the tour and bringing on new bands to tour with ITM. They automatically renewed Wonderland to continue because Maria told them to. She told her management team she was Wonderland to do the entire North American tour with them and they agreed. Sevendust was moving on to tour with Tremonti. Ded was actually signed on to stay with us for the second leg of the tour. We picked up Black Veil Brides. It had been a long time since they had done anything, so I was happy to see them back.

They were going to give us a month and a half off until we started back up. I decided to stay in Dallas for many reasons. Travis went home for about a week and flew back to Dallas to be with me. Luna didn't mind him being there with us. In fact, she welcomed it. He was able to go to my scheduled ultrasound appointment because I insisted on having it so he could see the babies. I remember having a discussion with Dr. Graham about having a doula and Krystyn from New Orleans drifted into my mind.

I knew that something had happened between her and Kent when they met, I just wasn't sure what it was. I also knew there was some form of magik in her and she didn't know it. That one was special. As Travis and I sat there waiting to be called to go back for the ultrasound, I opened my purse and dug until I found her card. Mom and Abuela told me to always follow my intuition. I dialed her number.

"This is Krystyn," she answered.

"Krystyn, this is Journey Falcon, how are you?"
"Oh,wow, hi, I'm good. You?"

"I'm good. I forgot to ask you what you did for a living other than that side hustle when we met."

She giggled at me; "Girl, I'm a commercial and apartment manager in South Mississippi."

"Oh, well I didn't expect that. I have a proposition for you, if you have a moment."

Travis was looking at me.

"I'm listening," she said.

"I'd like to fly you out to Dallas to come visit me. I have a feeling I can help you with those feelings you get," I said without going into details.

"Oh, are you," she asked and paused.

"Yes," I said plainly.

"I knew it," she said happily.

"You did?"

"I did. So is Travis and Kent."

"Holy wow," I said. "Yes ma'am. You must come. When can you take off work?"

"Girl, Nykky is the boss. If I tell her, I'm flying out to be with you and Travis, I could probably leave at the end of the week."

"Great! Talk to Nykky and then text me to let me know."

"I can do that, Journey."

"Journey Falcon," the tech called out.

"Great. I look forward to hearing from you."

I hung up the call as we headed towards the back for the ultrasound. It was the same tech from last time.

"Back so soon," she asked with a smile.

"Well, this is the dad," I said with a smile.

"Oh, well congratulations dad."

"Thank you."

"Journey, you know the drill."

I laid back, pulled up my shirt and lowered my pants a little. Travis stood beside me on the other side of the table. She put the jelly on the wand and then put it on my lower abdomen. They all popped up on the screen. She turned the sound on, and we could hear the heartbeats. He took my hand as I was looking at the screen. I turned my head to look up at him. Tears were rolling down his cheeks.
