Proud of this story and the fact that I just wing it :)

I hold Bentley and look around the dressing room watching every preparing for the show. It's the first one and everyones surprisingly calm. The dancers from last tour are back and they're chilling on the couches.

Jack comes in from the hall with his in-ears around his neck "hey babe" he whispers standing next to me and resting his hand on my back "want me to hold him so you can organize your stuff?" He asks. "Oh sure" I smile and hand him over.

"Thank you he's gettin heavy" I add. He chuckles and pecks my lips "of course" he whispers. I lean up and peck his before going over and organizing my tools. There's a couple hours before the show starts and jack has soundcheck soon.

For this tour he decided to have VIP watch soundcheck and then he does a q&a after for 30 minutes and then he has to rush back for a shower. His opener is Gayle, she blew up on tiktok and was signed to the label so jack asked her to join the tour for this leg. She goes on for 45 minutes but she is currently doing soundcheck.

After I'm done I sit next to jack on the couch, looks like Bentley fell asleep in his arms. "He's out" I giggle. He nods smiling "oh yeah" he smiles. "Do we have headphones that are small enough?" I ask. "Oh yeah I found a pair earlier they're in his diaper bag" he answers.

I lay my head on his shoulder watching Bentley and I smile "he's a mini you" I whisper. He smiles and looks at me "want a mini you?" He asks. "Not yet" I whisper looking into his eyes. "Okay it's up to you" he whispers back kissing the top of my head.

"Jack it's your turn" Gayle says coming back in. She's not as sweaty as jack gets so I just get her to re-wash her hair so I can do it. Jack stands up and softly places a sleeping Bentley into my arms. "Love you both" he whispers.

My hand grabs his wrist before he could walk away "kisses" I say. He chuckles leaning down and kissing me "I love you too" I whisper. He smiles then gently kisses bentleys forehead "be good for mom" he whispers.

He runs out after and I giggle then watch Bentley sleep before Gayle comes back. One of the girls gladly takes him from me so I can do her hair. I end up doing a few dancers hairs as well.

By time jack is back from showering Bentley is doing tummy time on the couch with gayle watching him so he doesn't roll off. I quickly towel dry his hair as much as I can before diffusing it to keep the curl.

"Okay babe you're done" I let him know. He stands up playing with it a little before hugging me. "Thank yoooou" he whispers. I look up at him and smile "of course" I whisper back. "Have fun out there okay?" I tell him. He nods "of course, also uh I was gonna ask you earlier but forgot" he says.

I let go and shift slightly "what is it?" I ask. "Um I know you said you didn't ever want to sing the song from the album" he starts. "Jack no" I say shaking my head. "Is it stage fright?" He asks. I nod feeling nervous thinking of it "yeah I look out and watch you, but the crowd" I answer.

He smiles and rubs my cheek with his thumb "just this one time it's the first show" he whispers. "Baby I can't" i whisper looking down. "Just look at me the whole time I'll be right there" he says lifting my chin.

"How many songs in?" I ask. "Last song before the encore" he answers. I take a deep breath "okay, just this once" I reply. "Thank you" he whispers. "It's because I love you" I reply.

Our foreheads rest against each other "I love you too" he whispers. "I guess I should get myself ready huh? Shit what am I gonna wear?" I panic. He rubs my shoulders gently "we have a rack of clothes and you've got outfits in your bag just choose whatever you want" he says.
