Chapter 12

Happy Reading!

*_______________________*_____________________*

Zack POV:

I’m freaking out.  Lucy is pregnant with triplets.  I’m not gonna be here all the time and she’s gonna be taking care of Sunday, herself, and three others.  I’m panicking.  Since we found out last week, I’ve been frazzled. I’ve talked to Jack but he’s no help.  How is Lucy supposed to care for them by herself?

Lucy POV:

Zack has been spoiling me for weeks.  It’s been a month and a half since we found out about the triplets. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and feel like a beach ball. I’ve been hiding in the house except for doctor’s appointments.  The press finally figured out I’m pregnant and Zack and the guys have an interview today.  The company insisted that I come along too.  I dread it cause it’s the band’s interview not mine.  So I’m currently as uncomfortably as physically possibly sitting in a director’s chair next to Matt in an identical chair holding Sunday. “So guys are you planning on touring anytime soon?”

“We plan on touring for a little bit in the U.S starting 2 weeks from now”

“How long do you plan to tour for?”

“Were hoping 3 months.”

“Zack you don’t look very happy about that.” He shrugs. He hasn’t been happy about it at all.  He’s afraid he’s gonna miss the boys being born.

“So the world has been dying waiting to meet Lucy. Can we meet her?”

Everyone looks at me. I get out of my chair shaking my head as I wait off screen for someone to bring me a chair. A crew guy brings a chair identical the one Rian is sitting in and they place it on the opposite side of the couch that the rest of the guys are on. I waddle in and make a face at Zack while my back is to the camera.  I sit in the chair and I can only imagine the shock on everyone’s face as they take in my pregnant state.  “Hello Lucy it’s nice for us to finally meet you”

“Hi” I say wrapping my hand with Zack’s. Then Jack proved why I loved him so much.

“Well I’m shooting the elephant in the room. Yes Lucy is pregnant, she didn’t eat our tour manager, and yes Zack is the father” I breathe a sigh of relief as everyone bursts out laughing. I didn’t find it that funny.

“Well Lucy wanna tell us what’s up?”

“Um. I’m pregnant? The guys are leaving on tour, I’m opening a restaurant with a close friend here in Baltimore in a month and I can’t ever find a comfortable place to rest.”

“How far along are you?”

“I’m currently 5 months.”

“You’re extremely large for only 5 months.” Well that was rude as hell. I make a face and before Zack can say anything, Jack my current best friend that wasn’t a girl saved the day.

“Well first off dude that’s slightly insulting to a woman. period. Whether or not she’s pregnant. And secondly Lucy is an amazing mom who is currently carrying triplets.”

“Well the cat’s out, Um yeah I’m having triplets.”

“Zack how do you feel?”

“I love it, Lucy is so brave to love me and put up with these guys and our crew, she has Cass, Morgan and Sunday to keep her sane, but now she’s carrying three precious boys that I hope turnout nothing like Alex.”

“Hey!”

“Three boys, that’s a handful.” I nod.

“We’ve picked out names too” Jack says with a grin.

“Who did?”

“Sunday and I”

“Oh god, what are they?” He gets up and kneels next to me.  He places a hand on my belly and points to random places.

“This is Rian, This is Jack, and this little guy right here is named Jalex.”

“Jack! Sunday doesn’t even know what Jalex means.”

“You’re such a dork.” We finished the interview and Jack drove me home. “Thanks again Zack, I didn’t want to go to lunch I’m too tired.  I’ve been calling Jack to take me everywhere since his car was the most comfortable and he was my male version of Julie.  I missed her and Abby terribly. 

“So what are you gonna do when were gone?”

“Sleep in my house without worrying about waking up to you guys in my house.” Alex had crawled into our bed last week and crawled between Zack and I. Needless to say, I made all the guys give me their keys to my house back that day. “Hey Jack do me a favor”

“Yep?”

“Don’t sleep with my employees when you guys get back, I don’t wanna fire them just cause you screwed up. Watch over Zack on tour too I’m worried about him.”

“I promise”

“Good” He drops me off at home and I waddle to the couch and turn on the TV. I’m asleep in a few minutes.  The next two weeks past way to fast.  I’ve been so uncomfortable and the guys are leaving today.  Zack hasn’t left my side. We’re currently standing in front of the bus. I just said goodbye to the guys and now the only one left is Zack.

 Zack POV:

“I don’t wanna leave”

“It’s ok Zack, we’ll be fine” She says. I lift her chin and look her in the eyes.  She’s fighting the tears and blinking them back.

“Lucy I’m sorry, I’m scared that I’m gonna miss it”

“You won’t I promise.” She tells me as the tears fall down her face. I kiss her belly three times. “Daddy will be back soon.” I tell them. “Lucy please don’t cry” I look down at Sunday her arms wrapped around my leg.

“I’ll be ok” She says kissing me and I kneel down till I’m face to face with Sunday.

“Daddy why are you leaving?”

“Daddy’s gotta go on tour”

“When will you be back?”

“In a few months.” She buries her head in my shoulder.

“Please don’t leave”

“I love you, my little miracle. Take care of Mommy for me ok?” she nods with her tears falling. Everyone is watching from the bus. I grab my small duffel that hadn’t been loaded and board the bus.  I look back to see Lucy and Sunday, Lucy’s one hand touches her belly and the other rests on Sunday, who is wrapped around Lucy’s leg.  When the door closes I watch out the window as the bus pulls away.  Sunday looks up and as we pull away she starts to run after us.  I feel my breath catch and my eyes start to water.  Sunday runs alongside the bus but she falls behind.  I see her stop and she screams “Daddy” I can’t watch anymore. I get up from the couch and lock myself in the back lounge. Only then do I let the tears fall.

Lucy POV:

Sunday follows the bus and I start crying harder. When Sunday stops running, she screams.  I stand there crying. A minute later Sunday is by my side and hugs my leg tight. He’ll be home soon I tell myself.  Sunday and I head inside where I change into one of his shirts.  I check on Sunday. She’s wearing one of his shirts too, staring at the front door. Tears threaten to pool from her eyes.  “Come on sweetie, let’s go to bed” We both climb into my bed and I hold Sunday as close to me as she could get.  She falls asleep soon. The boys are not kicking. They only kick for Zack and they lay silent tonight. They miss him too.  I cry myself to sleep.
