Chapter 53
Lizzie laughs.
"Josh?"
"Lizzie?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Of coarse! Anything!"
"Why do you always call yourself Daddy, when you don't like kids that much?"
"I don't know! Why do you call yourself Lizzie?"
"'Cause Lizzie's my name!" Lizzie laughs.
"Well, what if Daddy's my name?"
"But it's not! It's Joshua!" Lizzie smiles.
"It's Joshua! And you're my Perfect Porcelain! Forever!"
"And you're my toy soldier!"
"Hey, I'm not a stalker!"
"That's true! Okay you're my perfect disaster!"
"And your my ever after!"
"Now we're just singing your songs!" Lizzie laughs.
"Hey, my songs are good! Especially since most of them are about you!" Lizzie smiles.
"I still can't believe your pregnant!" Josh puts his hands on Lizzie's stomach.
"Do you think we're ready?" Lizzie asks.
"For what?"
"To have a baby! They're a lot of responsibility!"
"They eat, sleep, poop, and cry!"
"Okay, what about the crying? You get annoyed with it!"
"I'm going to have to live with it! Plus Alex gets his wish!"
"What's his wish?"
"To be a uncle!"
"Toby's wish is to be a Aunty!"
"See it's a win, win... Win!" Lizzie laughs.
"Who's going to change the diapers when I'm not around?"
"Teach me?" Lizzie giggles.
"What about baby-sitters?"
"Toby!"
"She's a teenager! She has a life to you know!"
"Speaking of Toby, how is she?"
"Last time I saw her, she was better!" Lizzie does a crooked smile.
"It's okay Liz!"
"I know!"
"Okay!"

Everyone starts to show up at Lizzie's house, for Lizzie's and Josh's big announcement! Nicole and Matt showed up first. Then Mike, Ian, Lizzie's mom and dad, Toby, Alex, Josh's mom and dad. Wow that's a lot of people.
Everyone's sitting in the living room.
"So why did you invite us all here today?" Lizzie's mom asks. Lizzie, Josh, and Mike smile. Lizzie turns towards Josh, who is sitting right beside her.
"Should we tell them now?"
"Tell us what?" Toby asks.
"Okay." Lizzie takes a deep breath.
"Everyone. I-I'm, pregnant!" Lizzie and Josh smile. Everyone is shocked. Everyone is making a 'oh' face.
"I'm going to be a grandma!" Lizzie's mom said after a moment of silence.
"I'm going to be a Aunty!"
"I'm going to be a uncle!" Nicole walks up to Lizzie.
"Really?" She says quietly so only Lizzie can hear, while everyone is still shocked.
"Yes!"
"I'm happy for you Lizzie!"
"Thanks!"
"Your welcome!"
After supper Lizzie's mom and dad, and Josh's mom and dad left, leaving Matt, Nicole, Toby, Alex, Mike, and Ian.
"So Lizzie and Josh are married, Lizzie's pregnant! That leaves Matt and Nicole!"
"*Cough* hurry up Matt *cough*" Lizzie says. Everyone laughs.
"I'm happy for you guys!" Ian says.
"Thanks!" Lizzie says. Josh wraps his arms around Lizzie.
"Your welcome!"
*ding ding ding* Joshs phone starts ringing.
"I gotta take this!" Josh gets up and walks to the kitchen and starts talking in the phone.
A couple minutes later Josh comes back.
"Guys I have some news!" Josh does a crooked smile.
"Good and bad."
"Good first please!" Ian says.
"Our tour dates are almost done!"
"Yay!"
"And bad?"
"Our tour bus isn't big enough for Lizzie and Nicole to come along!" Josh sits down beside Lizzie.
"That's okay! We'll still come to shows!"
"Really?"
"Of coarse! We can't go that long without seeing our guys!" Lizzie laughs. Lizzie kisses Josh.
"It's true!" Lizzie says.
"We won't be able to release the dates till later though! Some of them aren't final yet!"
"Because of the NHL lockout being over?"
"Yep!"
"Saskatoon and a few others are final!"
"Cool! My parents will want to come to the Saskatoon one!" Matt says.
"Well we'll miss you a lot!" Nicole says.
"I think I might even miss Josh!" Lizzie says, then laughs.
"Of coarse you'll miss me!" Josh says. Josh kisses Lizzie. Everyone continues to talk about the tour.
"Are you guys going to do Desperate Measures in your underwear again?"
"Of coarse! It drives our fans crazy!" Ian says.
"Lets hope something doesn't slip, or else hello crime scene!" Josh says. Everyone laughs.
"Are you going to go flying above the crowd again?"
"Of coarse! That was super fun! It left me some bruises in weird places, and I mean weird places!" Josh makes a weird face. Everyone laughs.
"What if the baby comes and your doing a show?"
"I don't know! I'm hoping it won't be during a show!"
"That would suck!"
"I know!"
"Does anyone want anything to drink?" Lizzie asks. She stands up.
"Orange crush!" Nicole says.
"Rootbeer!" Mike says.
"Sprite!" Matt says.
"Coke Zero!" Joshs typical drink.
"Okay two Orange Crushs one for me, one for Nicole. One Rootbeer for Mike. One Sprite for Matt. And Joshs typical drink Coke Zero. You guys are lucky I just bought a bunch of pop!" Lizzie laughs. She goes to get the drinks. Lizzie comes back with all the pop that everyone wanted. Lizzie hands them their pop.
"I still can't believe you're pregnant with Joshs baby!" Ian says.
"Gosh, I hope it's Josh's baby!" Lizzie says looking down. She puts her head on Josh's shoulder.
