Lost It All

Every Girl Has Her Day

Alora's P.O.V.

After my nap I turned off the radio and grabbed my phone, putting in my headphones and putting Killer and Tokyo on their harnesses. I decided that we all could use some fresh air, so we were going to go for a walk. I was humming along to the music that was playing, Blink-182 because, why not!! As I was closing the door and going down the steps I saw Jake. I smiled and waved. "Hey girl, what are you and the pooches up to?" Jake asked as he walked over and gave me a hug. "Hey Jakey. Just going for a walk. I needed to get some fresh air." I smiled, hooking my arm through his. "And now you're joining us." I said with a giggle. "Well okay then! Extra cardio for today!" Jake laughed before moving his arm over my shoulders. "How's everything going?" He asked while checking his phone and sending a message to someone. "It's going okay I suppose. Just hard not having Ashley here. But I don't blame him. Being busy with the shop and everything. I'm so proud him." I replied as the dogs stopped to sniff at a bush. "Yeah, he's bummed but he's almost done with most of everything and he'll be with you before you know it." Jake smiled and gently squeezed my shoulder as we started walking again, around the corner towards the park. I nodded and looked up at the sky, it was starting to catch fire. "It's going to be a gorgeous sun set tonight." I commented as we kept walking, my free arm around Jake's waist with the dogs pulling ahead on my other arm, they were pulling rather hard for some reason and they started barking. It wasn't until I looked at what was in front of me that we realized how far we make it into the park and I saw Ashley, Jinxx, CC, Chrissy and Andy all at the park. CC and Chrissy were at one of the park barbecue's cooking, laughing and being generally cute. Andy was sitting at the picnic table, scribbling in a notebook. Jinxx and Ashley were under a tree talking, when Ash heard the dogs he looked up and smiled the biggest smile when he saw me. I let the dogs go and they ran over to their papa. I looked over at Jake and poked his forehead. "This was a set up, huh?" Jake grinned. "Of course. We all needed to have a celebratory get together for the end of the tour and for Ash finishing up the last of the work for the shop and the line release." I heard the jingle of the chains on Ashley's pants and felt his arms around me I suddenly felt all warm inside. Jake kissed my cheek then went over to where Jinxx was with the pups. Ashley started kissing my neck and rubbing my tummy as the baby rolled around. "She knows her Daddy's here." I giggled and tilted my head back and kissed Ashley softly, that was when I heard the clicks from everyone's camera shutters. I looked back and saw Chrissy with a huge grin on her face and CC started laughing like a hyena. "Y'all better make me look good if you're going to be taking pictures!" I hollered and Ashley picked me up in his arms and we went over to the table and set me on the table top next to Andy. "You always look good Alora, don't act like you don't." Andy said as he poked my thigh with the back end of his pen. I blushed when Andy said that and I looked down at my hands that I had folded in my lap. That was when I heard another camera shutter and I looked up and saw Ashley grinning. "He's right babe, you do." I just rolled my eyes and kissed Ash's cheek. "I know I'm not. Whatever you guys are smoking I want some." I said with a smile. That was when Chrissy and CC piped in. "You are beautiful. Shut your face woman!!!" CC said as he waved the spatula around. "And no smoking ANYTHING until after baby Purdy is done cookin!!!" Chrissy said as she poked my tummy. I just laughed and shook my head. I love these people. No matter what. I know I'll always have them. We all stayed at the park until dusk. We had great food and had a fun time. We all pitched in a bit on a song that Andy was working on for the next album and everyone took turns taking a picture with my belly and posting it on Instagram, CC even drew a face with a moustache and bow tie on it. All and all it was a great night to be together with my best friends, and my husband-to-be, and our baby that was growing every second, hearing from the inside, what her life will be like. Full of love and happiness.
