Rickey shows up at my house at around 6:30am and I quietly tell him that Cayden is still asleep, he nods and walks inside quietly, grabbing our two suitcases and taking them out to his car. I look down at my outfit (dark skinny jeans, maroon v-neck, and bombers jacket with converses) and decide that it is good enough for the airport. Deciding to take the easy option, I grab Cayden’s stroller from the spare room and bring it to Rickey’s car, before going to Cayden’s room and carefully waking him up. I put him on my hip and he cuddles into my side as usual. I place his dummy in his mouth and take him out to Rickey’s car, placing him in his car seat. The second that I clip the last strap together he is instantly back asleep. Rickey and I both get in the car and make our way to the airport. Rickey parks the car and takes our suitcases to the luggage drop off as I place Cayden in his stroller and walk in to find Rickey. A few people notice me and I take photos with them all and apologize as I have to leave to find Rickey. I find him by the metal detector and he hands me, me and Cayden’s passports. I thank him as we walk through the frames and grab our things from the other side, continuing our way to our gate
“Wait what number again?” I ask Rickey for what was probably the hundredth time
“Gate 42a” I nod and scan the signs till I find ours. Rickey spots it far away and we make our way over there and find two seats together that we gladly sit in.
Our flight lands and I open my eyes in surprise to see Cayden already awake. Rickey and I quickly grab our stuff and I keep a firm grip on Cay’s hand as we get off of the plane. Cayden sits on his suitcase (You know the ones that have the four wheels for the kids, ye them) and starts to swing his legs happily, going in any direction possible. I held onto the lead tightly as Rickey pushed the luggage cart. Around four or five men all in black came towards us and asked if we were part of the DigiTour and we said yes we were and showed them our passes so they knew we weren’t lying. They took the luggage cart and surrounded us, blocking our view as we walked somewhere. The fresh air flew through my hair and Cayden squealed excitedly at the cool air. He jumps up onto my side and I carry him, pulling his suitcase behind us as we are led to three big busses, each with DigiTour written on the side in bold. We thank the security guards and look around, noticing the large amount of fans waiting at a gate. Keeping a tight grip on Cayden as he nervously played with my hair, Rickey and I walk towards them. Their screams louder now, chanting our names as we got closer
“Go wait in the bus Miss. It’s safer there” A guard offers
“We’re fine thank you” he gives me a shocked look and I push past him and towards the fans, thinking of the unimaginable hours they must have been here. I take pictures with the fans and they all adore Cayden and his cute self as he turns into a cocky bastard, just like his dad, but it’s cute. Rickey tugs on my arm and we wave goodbye to the fans and make our way back onto the bus. Cayden runs around the bus excitedly and lets out a high pitch scream, instantly running towards him to find out what’s wrong
“Uncle Sammy” he shouts as I see him jumping onto my brothers chest. I lean back against the door way thrilled that nothing is wrong. Sammy looks up happily and hugs his nephew tightly. My brother stands up carefully, still holding Cay and gives me a side hug.
“Whatcha doin lil one?” he asks passing Cayden to me
“Touring with my main man”
“ME!” Cayden shouts happily
“Ye it is baby” he smiles and gives me a cuddle “Are you tired baby?” I ask combing through his brown curls as he nods into my shoulder.
“I’ll escort you to your assigned bedroom arrangements” Gilinsky announces formally. I laugh lightly and follow him as Cayden falls asleep quickly in my arms. He opens a small door revealing a little room with a crib and change table, I thank Jack and he leaves. Careful not to disturb Cayden I place him in his new crib and cover him with a blanket. He doesn’t move around so I leave the room, closing the door behind me quietly. I meet all of the others who are now on our bus and we decide on our beds. I get one of the ones in the middle, knowing that it will be easy to get out of if Cayden cries. When I look at the 6 people all in their bunks I notice that I am the only girl on this bus, yay, at least I wasn’t sharing a bus with Nate.
“So, how’s Cayden been?” Gilinsky asks from his bunk across from me
“Yea good”
“Has he asked about his dad or anything?” he asks getting straight to the point
“Nothing at all” Jack looks taken aback “Like, I try and talk to him about it I guess but he doesn’t want to hear it.” I shrug my shoulders and play with the hem of my top.
“Are you going to tell him that Nate is his dad?” Johnson asks, from under Gilinsky
“I don’t know. I don’t really want to because I don’t know how either of them will react, because at the moment Cayden has a pure hatred for the man, but I don’t know if he’s just doing it for me. He is probably too young to understand any of it, I’m probably just overthinking the whole thing”
“I reckon that Cay understands, he’s a smart boy. I think that it just confuses him and he doesn’t want to talk about it, because it makes him sad or disappointed or something” Sammy suggests. I nod analysing his thoughts in my head. I lay my head back on the pillow and although I feel sleepy, I can’t get to sleep. I look around the tour bus, hoping that somehow it will send me to sleep. Gilinsky looks up at me and smiles as I pull a sad face and pout. He quietly gets out of his bunk and quietly gets into mine, pushing me towards the window so that he has room. He gets comfortable on his back and I cuddle into his chest gratefully as he draws patterns on my back
“Night princess” and with that, lights are out and I’m in a dreamless sleep.
