Chapter #30
______________
Sam’s POV
So we have fifteen stops on the tour. We are starting on the east coast and making our way across the country back to L.A. We are currently in Kansas City, MO. We are going to be performing at the Sprint’s Center in two days. I got two tickets to see The Phantom of the Opera tonight but Benji backed out so I will be going alone. I am currently at the Nelson Atkins museum when I hear a very familiar voice. “Hey aren’t you the famous Sam Mily?” I hear Scarlett ask. I spin around to see her with Danny in a little baby carrier on her chest and it looks like he’s asleep. “I have missed you so much. What are you two doing here?” I ask. “I got my work done and I missed you so I called Benji and asked him what city you are in and he told me Kansas City and that today you were visiting the different museums. When I landed I called him again and he said you’d be here.” She explains. “I am so happy you did that. Wait, is that why Benji backed out of going to see The Phantom of the Opera at the Kansas City Music Hall tonight?” I ask and her smile grows. “He told me about it and said that he would take Danny for us and we could have a date night.” She says. “That sneaky bitch. Where are your things?” I ask her. “They are in your R.V.” She tells me. “Well technically it’s our R.V because we are married.” I tell her. “Ok our R.V. There isn’t really a good place for him to sleep in there so he’s going to just have to sleep with us for the rest of the tour.” She says and I start jumping up and down. “You’re joining me for the rest of the tour?” I ask excitedly. “If you are ok with that.” She says. “Oh I am definitely more than ok with it.” I say a little too loud waking Danny up. “Here let me take him, it's been two months.” I say and she hands him over to me. “Hey Danny it’s Mama.” I tell him as I hold him. “Oh you might want this.” Scarlett says handing me a burp cloth. “Thank you.” I tell her as I place it over my shoulder before moving him to that shoulder. “Wow, he's asleep.” I say surprised. “He missed you and he’s tired. The paparazzi tried to swarm us at L.A.X but we got some help from security.” She says. “Are you ok?” I ask her. “Yeah I’m fine. I may have threatened to punch one of the paparazzi when they got too close.” She says. “That’s my girl. Shall we continue to explore this museum and then we can get lunch. I was told to go to Gates BBQ. Apparently it’s a must have if you visit Kansas City.” I tell her. (A/N All the places I am going to reference are real places in Kansas City. The reason this chapter and the next are all about them exploring Kansas City is because it’s my home town. And yes if you ever go to Kansas City Missouri you have to go to Gates BBQ it’s amazing.) “That sounds nice. Do you want the carrier?” She asks as she takes it off. “Nah I’m good we can just keep it in the diaper bag.” I say. “Ok if you say so.” She says putting it in the diaper bag. We explore the rest of the museum and head out to lunch. “Holy shit this is good.” I say as I eat my ribs at Gates BBQ. “Yeah it is. Probably the best barbecue I’ve had.” Scarlett says. “Yeah that was amazing.” I say as I pay the bill.

“Where are we going?” Scarlett asks me as I drive. Nice thing about using the R.V is I can hook my truck up to it and take it with me. “We are going to get some nursery stuff since I don’t have any of that in the R.V and we can fit it in the back since I never use it anyway.” I tell her. “You are going to renovate the R.V while on the road?” Scarlett asks. “Yeah I do it all the time.” I tell her as we pull up to the closest Target I could find. “Ok let’s do it.” Scarlett says getting out of the truck and getting Danny.

“Ok do you want any help?” Scarlett asks as I pull out the tool box that’s in one of the storage compartments under the R.V. “Nah I’m good just stay there and relax.” I tell her as she sits on the makeshift porch I made outside of the trailer. “Ok it is a nice day. You should post a picture of the skyline that you can see from here.” Scarlett says. “You’re right I should plus Ma will love it.” I say. “Oh that’s right your Mom is from Kansas City. Is that why you are a Chiefs fan?” She asks. “Yes. I’m also a Royals and Sporting KC fan.” I tell her.

“Kansas City skyline”
[@LauraMily: It’s just like I remember it]
[@MelanieSloan: Very pretty]
[@ScarlettJohansson: It’s even better in person]
[@MelanieSloan: @ScarlettJohansson you are in Kansas City?]
[@SamMily: Yeah she and Danny came and surprised me]
[@RDJ: @ScarlettJohansson that’s a sweet thing to do]

I took that picture as Scarlett drove us to the Kansas City Music Hall. Yes she’s driving. She stole my keys while I got ready. “I’m nervous about Danny this is the first time we’ve left him.” Scarlett says as we take our seats in box number five. If you know The Phantom of the Opera then you know why I picked box number five. “He’s gonna be fine. We are only going to be away from him for like four hours since we are going to dinner after this.” I tell her. “I know I just worry.” She says. “Baby that’s natural. I worry too it’s part of the whole being a parent thing. Now let’s focus on the show and enjoy our time together.” I tell, her holding her hand. “You’re right he’s with Benji not some stranger he’ll be ok.” Scarlett says and I give her a kiss on the cheek as the lights dim and the performance starts.
