"So this is a 5 bedroom 4 bath 2,000 square feet" Andy the realtor says as we stand outside a house in Louisville. "Do we need 5 bedrooms right now?" Jack asks. "We can turn one into a studio" I shrug. "You right" he admits.

We go inside following Andy, it looks spacious as soon as we walk in. "The kitchen has a full island with plenty of space for storage and a pantry that leads to the garage" he describes as we walk in.

Jack looks over at me with wide eyes as he sees the kitchen. "Holy cow" he says. I giggle at the censor "bentleys not here you can say crap or shit" I tell him. "Holy shit" he says.

Andy laughs slightly and I smile "our sons 8 and a half months" I tell him. We move over to the next part and he gives us a tour, I look at every part of the house not seeing many problems.

"So what do you think?" He asks looking between us. "Its beautiful but I think 5 bedrooms is way too many right now, maybe 3 or 4" jack says. We agreed that none of the rooms were good enough to be a studio and we can find a house with better rooms.

We go to a few more houses before picking Bentley up from his parents. "Welll have you found any you liked?" Maggie asks. "A few, there was one earlier with a lot of rooms but none were worthy to be a studio" Jack answers.

She nods "I'm sure you guys will find one" she says. "Yeah we're here for another week we've got time" I smile. We head out and grab some kfc on the way to the airbnb.

The next week goes by, we've found a couple venues we like and a couple houses we like as well so we have to narrow those down. Now we're waiting for the plane to board.

I look at my phone while rocking Bentley and see some deuxmoi posts, a few talking about us leaving wedding venues and a few of us leaving houses. I let out a sigh "the media needs to back off" I whisper showing jack.

He rolls his eyes and rubs my shoulder "it's ok babe, hopefully when we do have the house they'll back off and it's not la so fans and locals will be respectful" he ensures. I pout "I hope so" I whisper.

"When we're planning the wedding we can make it as private as you want" he says. "Would a no phone policy be too much?" I ask laughing slightly. He laughs "nah that would be fair actually, no phones until the reception" he says.

I nod in agreement "yeah" I whisper. Our flight boards a few minutes later and bentleys sleeping for most of it. "You can sleep you need to rest" jack whispers. "Okay" I whisper resting my head on his shoulder falling asleep a few minutes later.

He wakes me up near the end of the flight and I take Bentley to the bathroom and change him before we land. "Ready?" Jack asks after getting our suitcases.

After making sure Bentley is covered and our hoods are on we head out to stella waiting to pick us up. "Jack how was louisville?" Someone shouts. "Good thank you" he answers. "Hows the wedding planning ivy?" The same guy asks.

"Great thank you" I answer simply. We get out to stella and she speeds away after we're in. "How was home?" she asks. "Aweaome, we looked at venues and houses" I answer.

She looks at me with raised eyebrows "houses?" she asks. "A 2nd home for when we're not working and for holidays" I answer. "Oooh okay" she replies.

We've been home a few days, jack told me to go back to working and he'll stay home with Bentley so I am working now. I pumped a bunch this morning and we have formula incase anything happens.

As I am cleaning bowls in the back gabriel comes in "there is someone here for you" he says. "Is it jack? He knows I'm not off until later" i ask. "Nah it's a women" he says.

I go out there and she's looking around the salon. "Hello? What can I do?" I ask. "You're ivy right?" She asks. I nod slowly confused "yeah" I say. She hands me a card "I am from Atlantic records" she starts. "Is it something with jack?" I ask.

She laughs "no no it's about you, in this envelope i have a business proposal, you can read everything in it and think it through and then call me if you've come to a conclusion" she says. "I don't sing for a career" I reply.

"Well give it some thought, your voice is beautiful" she says. I sigh "alright I'll think it through" I give in. She nods and then leaves.

I turn and they're all looking at me with raises eyebrows. "Don't say a word to jack" I point at them. "Aye aye captain" gabriel replies. I roll my eyes and go back to the back, I sit on the stool there and look at the papers.

A contract for 1 ep, 5-8 songs. Nothing about a tour or being a supporting act for someone. I rub my forehead and put the papers in the envelope going back to my station and stuffing them into my purse.

"You good?" Madeline asks coming over. "Yeah that caught me off guard" I answer. "What was it?" She asks. "A contract for a record deal, 1 ep with 5-8 songs" I answer. "Woah that's huge, are you gonna take it?" She asks.

I shrug "I don't wanna be a singer, and I'd have to move to atlanta to write and record" I answer. "Wouldnt it be easier for jack to finish up his album if you moved there?" She asks.

My mind starts to make up scenarios and I frown "it would be you're right" I whisper. "Just think it through and maybe talk to jack about it" she says. I nod "I will" I reply.

She has a client so she goes off and I help cleanup until a walk in comes in and I take them. It's just a cut so it doesn't take me long and then one of my clients comes in for a trim and style.

"When do you want to come in for a retouch?" I ask. "When was I here last?" She asks. "Well before I went on the tour" I answer. She giggles "yeah, can i come in Friday morning?" She asks. "Yeah of course!" I smile.

I finish up and we go over, I hand her the debt machine and she catches a glimpse of my ring. "Did he ask?" She asks. I smile and nod showing her the ring "yeaaaah, he asked at the end of the last show during the north american leg of the tour" I answer.

She smiles looking at it "wow that's beautiful, how is your baby?" She asks. "He's grown since you last saw him and his hair is so fluffy" I reply. "Oh my gosh" she laughs. "He's gonna be 1 soon right?" She asks.

"In april" I answer. "Wow that's crazy" she replies. "I know it's insane" I smile. She leaves a few minutes later and I get to cleaning up.

A few hours go by before jack comes in with Bentley, I finish up cleaning and organizing the shampoo bar before we leave. "Can we get in n out?" I ask on the way out. He nods rubbing my back "of course" he replies.

I cheer to myself silently and put Bentley in the back giving him a kiss on the forehead and then getting in the front. "And we're off" jack smiles.

While he's driving I look back at Bentley and he's asleep again. "Did he nap today?" I ask. "Yeah he did, a lot might I add" he answers. "Okay then" I whisper. "Your regular?" He asks as we pull into the drive thru.

"Yes please" I answer. He orders our food plus milkshakes and we head home. Throughout the remaining of my shift I was thinking about that contract, jack is signed with Atlantic and if I signed as well we'd have to move to Atlanta so we could work possibly pushing back us having our second baby especially if I have to tour.

He glances at me while we're watching a movie. "Are you okay baby?" He asks. I nod and crawl onto his lap "yes I am" I whisper back. "Mmmm ok good" he whispers. "How are you feeling?" I ask.

I feel his arm around my waist and he kisses behind my ear gently "good, I missed you today" he whispers. "I missed you" I whisper back. "You think we can have a quickie before he wakes up again?" He whispers. "Yeah" I whisper turning to straddle him.
