What Happens on the Cruise

64. Don't It Feel Good?

"Ericha!" Austin exclaimed, scooping her up in a hug. "So good to see you."

"I'm so excited for you two," she said, turning and giving Tim a hug. "You have to tell me all about it on the ride home."

"Not much to tell," Tim responded. "Is Adam out in the van?"

"No, it's just me. I left Adam at home with Cerise. They get so little time together, and I wanted you two all to myself!"

Austin grinned. "Why do I have the feeling you're going to be our wedding planner?"

"That would be fun," she admitted, taking their arms as they headed for baggage claim. "Have you ever seen the video of our wedding?"

"There's my babydoll!" Austin exclaimed as Adam opened the door, holding Cerise.

"Thanks, but I don't think you should call me that in front of Ericha," Adam teased.

Ericha giggled as Austin held out his hands for the baby. "Can I hold her?"

"Of course." Adam handed Cerise to Austin, then nodded to Tim as everyone came inside. "So has my wife got the whole ceremony planned out yet?"

"Of course not, silly," Ericha answered, kissing Adam's cheek. "Can't do that till we know if it's going to be a religious or civil ceremony."

Adam slipped his arm around her waist and pulled her in for a kiss. "Do we want to go out for lunch or should we fix something here?"

"You mean should I fix something here?" she teased him.

"Hey, I can fix a mean frozen pizza, I'll have you know."

"Hmmm. I've been driving too long. I just want to let someone else cook."

"Out it is, then."

She gave her husband an arch look. "I thought you said you made a mean frozen pizza."

"We're completely out."

She giggled. "Okay, let's let Austin and Tim freshen up and then we'll figure out where we're going."

"So what time is the show tomorrow?" Austin asked picking up another sweet potato fry.

"7:30," Adam answered.

"Mama mama mama!" Cerise babbled.

Ericha stole one of Austin's fries and tore it into pieces and added it to the selection of food on Cerise's tray.

"Can you say 'Austin'?" Austin asked the toddler.

She offered him a Cheerio.

"Austin," he repeated, slowly.

"Dada?" she said.

"Whoa, sweetie, I don't think so," Austin answered as the others cracked up laughing.

"Something you're not telling me, hon?" Adam teased Ericha.

"Oh, you know I'd only cheat on you with my boyfriend Tim," she replied.

"Well, she's definitely not mine," Tim said, sitting back in the booth and putting an arm around Austin's shoulder.

Austin made a small, pleased sound and leaned into Tim.

"Any interest in having kids?" Ericha asked.

"Honey," Adam said warningly.

"I've always sort of wanted kids, but it's hard enough touring and having a dog," Austin answered.
