 After the reception and during the honeymoon I finally told Ezra that I was pregnant and he was overjoyed, so excited as he showered me with kisses. So that is why a week later were here in our house in London that we managed to find through Ezra's real estate friends. 

''Here'' Ezra said holding my suitcase as he unlocked the front door ''Let me get that for you'' I pushed the door wider for Ezra to go through as he set my suitcase by the front door. Nearby I heard Eli bark and run towards us I lightly scratches his ears as he panted happily. 

''Well Well'' said Frankie leaning against the pillar with his arms crossed  ''If it isn't the newlywed's congrats again'' He smiled 

''Thanks'' Me and Ezra said smiling at each other 

Frankie rolled his eyes ''I'm going to be sick'' he mumbled 

I looked around the home seeing the furniture for the first time I could hear my heels clicked against the hardwood floor and on the stairs as I walked from one room to another yet I stop short when I glanced at a door from the far left, far from the double doors that are me and Ezra's bedroom. Out of curiosity, I opened it and it shows nothing, absolutely nothing, the room was bare the only thing that was there was the sunlight that was standing by the window. 

'' I was thinking that this should be the baby room'' Ezra whispered as he wrapped his arm around his waist ''Me too'' I whispered back giving him a kiss on the cheek as something about this room just feels right. He began to kiss me and I gladly kiss him back we were about to enter into something deeper but we heard someone clear their throat which made us stop. For now. 

''If your done sucking face'' Frankie said leaning against the doorframe ''Were going to be late for the meeting'' he said looking at me 

Oh, right I completely forgot about the ''meeting''. 

''What meeting?'' Ezra asked 

''Just a meeting nothing serious'' Frankie said 

''Okay but where is this meeting who are we meeting with?'' Ezra asked with his arms folded 

''We will explain on the way'' I said while Frankie nodded in agreement 

''Why can't you guys explain it now?'' Ezra asked 

''Just because now let's go were going to be late'' Frankie said as he walked away 


After a long drive and never-ending questions from Ezra, we finally parked in the parking lot of Palm Records in London. Before the wedding, I have doubts and even fears of Ezra ending his music career as it wouldn't be fair for the fans that were dedicated, and love cherishes him forever, to himself as making music is what he loves to do and to the record company as it's probably a breach of their contract. So I talk to Frankie secretly about Ezra and whenever or not what I'm thinking is false or true and according to Frankie, it is true that Ezra is just thinking of quitting the music industry and can't just sit there and allow it to happen especially if it's because of me. So that is why we're sitting in this conference room across from Sean Delaney, the CEO of Palm Records, and Reid Hackman one of the executives. 

''Hello Mr. Delaney'' Ezra said as he sat on a chair next to me ''Hello Mr. Hackman'' he said as Reid gives a polite nod back. 

''Hello Ezra'' Sean smiled ''Hello Ashley heard of the wedding congrats to you both'' 

''Thank you'' I replied back 

''So'' Sean said loudly as he clapped his hand together ''Let's get this meeting started who is that guy?'' he pointed at Frankie 

''Frankie my bodyguard and my best friend'' Ezra said 

Sean nodded ''that great to have somebody at your side at your corner'' 

''Do you want him to leave?'' Reid asked 

''Goodness no he can stay after all he calls for this meeting'' he said as he lean back to the chair ''so what are we talking about?'' 

''Ezra's album we want a pushback, some time at least'' I said 

Sean raises an eyebrow ''A pushback?'' 

''Yeah or at least some time for Ezra to create music'' 

''I'm sorry'' Sean said giving a puzzled look '' What are you talking about?'' 

''Time. I received a call from Reid at our wedding and he says I have 2 months to create a song or you guys would sue me'' Ezra said 

Sean glances at Reid who looks off in a different direction then back at Ezra, Frankie, and me as he barked out a laugh. 

''I'm sorry'' he said as he look at our confused faces ''I just find this a little funny'' 

''Really?'' Frankie said crossing his arms ''You find getting sue funny'' 

''No, and I got sue plenty of times'' Sean smiled '' It's just I find it funny that a record executive asked a musician to make a song, a hit in less than 2 months given our situation'' 

''What situation?'' Ezra asked 

Sean sighed ''Well Palm Records is done'' 

''What?'' Ezra and Frankie nearly yelled ''And when the fuck would you tell us about this?'' Frankie asked 

''Next week'' Sean said '' but then I would propose an offer'' 

''What offer?'' Ezra asked 

''To join with me at Rocket Records as a signed artist ''Sean said  

''Why?'' Ezra asked 

''Because you make me money'' Sean said ''Figures'' Frankie mumbled 

For a moment there was a sense of silence I glanced at Ezra who looked focused as he glanced down at the table. I touch his hand and he glanced at me as if I had all the answers in the world but I don't I gave him a small simile letting him know that whatever decision he make I would stand beside him and help him the best way I could. 

''Alright'' Ezra said with his hands on top of mine ''I do I sign the contract'' 

''Excellent'' Sean said flashing a winning simile '' I have somebody send it over just make sure you get a lawyer approval first'' 

''Alright'' I heard Ezra mumble as I and Frankie got up from our chair 

''Wait'' Sean said ''Since your joining the Rocket Family then you need to perform in the annual Rocketfest'' 

''What the hell is the Rocketfest?'' Frankie asked 

''Rockfest is an annual concert that we do in Rocket Records just think of a big-time country fair expect we would be traveling across the globe like London, New York, Paris, and all the expense would be paid for'' 

''And who's in the lineup?'' Ezra asked 

''Carolyn Fields, Mark Lewis, Landon, You and Charlie Reyes'' 

''Charlie Reyes? he agrees to do the tour?'' Ezra asked 

''Yes we had to make a few arrangements but he agree to do the tour and we leave in a month so are you in? '' 

Ezra looked at me and Frankie then at Sean ''Yes''
