(Kids-current joys)
We decided to spend the night at Molly's. I woke up in the guest bedroom with Sam beside me. I sneak away and walk down the hall to the kitchen.
"Good morning bestie" molly says.
"Oh hey. Morning" I say throwing my hair into a pony tail.
"you up for pancakes-" she asks.
"only if we do it molly/Kenna style" I say excitedly.
"Bet- you get the syrup. I'll get everything else." She turns.
an odd thirty minutes later the house was filled with the smell of pancakes, eggs and bacon. I turn around to see Anthony standing in the doorway.
"Oh, hey- pancake?" I offer.
"Just so you know. You two are so loud." He yawns
"Sorry, that you don't know how to have fun" molly teases.
"no. It's nine in the morning and you two are cackling. NO BODY WANTS THAT SHIT" he jokes.
"That's fair." I say.
"I thought I heard you two in here" Jake says.
"How could you not hear them bro?" Anthony looks at Jake. He shrugs his shoulders in response.
"So molly, you wanna go to our show?" Jake asks.
"thank god, I was actually gonna ask" molly laughs nervously.
"Of course you can come with us- the more the merrier." Jake winks and smiles. I had never seen molly so red. Did she have a thing for Jake?
*back at the hotel. Getting ready for tomorrow's show.*

"Shit. I forgot pajamas. I don't wanna sleep in jeans." Molly says.
"I would offer you my clothes but they won't fit. " I say.
"here I have an extra shirt if you wanna borrow it-" Jake says handing her a Smokey grey shirt with a red logo on it.
"Thanks Jake.." she says taking the shirt.
"No problem" he says.
"Hey I'm going out side for a moment." I say walking to the balcony. Jake follows.
"hey. Mind if I join you?" He asks.
(Anchor- novo amour)
"Yeah, just got super stuffy in there" I say.
"I agree." He sits beside me.
"You like her, don't you Jake." I abruptly ask.
"Yeah. But I can't break up with jita. " he stares at the ground.
"at the end of the day. It comes down to who makes you happier. maybe we should ask her to follow us on the rest of the tour. But Jake. I can't have you breaking her heart because she interests you right now." I  stand up. He shakes his head.
"I won't." He says. "I'm gonna stay here for a minute." Jake sits back in his chair. I hug the side of his head and walk back into the room.
Molly stepped out of the bathroom wearing jakes shirt and a pair of Danny's sweats that he out grew.
The clothes engulfed her.
"Where did the other boys go?" I ask.
"They said something about food?" She moves her eye brows.
"Gotcha. I have a question." I state
"shoot-" she lays back on the bed.
"do you want to come on tour with us and take over my job as designer?" I ask. She sits up.
"Absolutely. yes!" She says hugging me.
"also. I know you like Jake." I say getting up to go to the bathroom.
Silence filled the room and I laugh. I had lied in bed waiting or Sam to get home. I could never seem to sleep without him. he was my own personal pregnancy pillow. I heard the door click, followed by the door handle.
"You guys are late. " I say.
"Shh, I'm sorry love. josh got drunk." Sammy says.
"That doesn't surprise me." I roll my eyes.  Sam gets in the bed next to me. in our sleep position and I drifted to sleep so seamlessly. molly on my left and Sammy on my right.
*morning*
Today was the day of ACL weekend two.
we were all heading to the venue. the boys were wearing red again. I decided to wear a red off the shoulder jumpsuit and white flats.
the outfit fit my bump perfectly. 
I was officially seventeen weeks. Every week my feet become less visible.
"ready for sound check?" I ask the boys.
I get nods across the room. "Cool."
we head up the hall to stage. "Sammy-" I say.
"Hmm" he turns. I kiss his cheek. "I love you."
"I love you more-" he replies.
"Mmm, no way." I smile. "Now go to sound check."
I turn and walk to molly.
"So. Jake. is he single?" she asks.
"Not currently but that's gonna be complicated soon. He likes you though. He thinks you are pretty" I say.
"Oh. I think he is pleasing. Sweet." She replies.
I hadn't noticed she was still wearing his shirt, matched with black leather pants and doc Martin Chelsea boots. why were her and Jake already so perfect for each other? I knew I would have to see this one through.
  it was show time, I took molly to the pit. I decided to stand on jakes side.
"This is so exciting" molly yells.
"just wait till his solo" I scream back.
she was so hyper fixated on Jake, while I was staring at Sam.
"DO IT JAKEY" I yell from the crowd. I knew that he in fact heard me. he started playing the solo from the barbarians. I look over to see Molly's jaw on the floor. I glance up at Jake to see him smile as he plays. he REALLY liked her.
I walk over to sams side, I love hearing his bass(and so did the baby) . It could put me to sleep easy.
I think this was one of the best shows I attended so far. I loved all of my boys. now that molly was here, I felt more at home than I did before. pieces of the puzzle kept coming together.
After the show, we sat backstage and talked for a while.
"JOSH- get down" I say.
"Babe- he asserting musical dominance" Sam laughs.
I let out a cackle, not thinking about pregnancy bladder.
"Oh shit-" I look down,
"is that-" Jake asks.
"Pee?" I say."yeah."
josh and Sam start laughing.
"I hate the both of you right now."
"Welp if you hate us- you wouldn't mind a .." josh says exchanging a look with Sam, Jake and Danny.
"GROUP HUG" Danny bellows.
In that moment, I knew that my kid would have the best life. No matter if I was there or not. I knew that everything would be fine if anything happened to me. I knew that our little family would always be there.
