Karma's POV

I woke up in the bus. Ronnie is sleeping (fully clothed) next to me. He wanted to stay while I slept this off. No clue why. I heard my phone going off. I got it and walked out to the living area. No one is up.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey sweetie." Mom said.

"Hey. What's going on?"

"Lilly's sick."

"What? How sick?"

"She's not eating, high temp, headaches."

"Put her on the phone. Now." I said sternly.

She handed over the phone.

"Mommy?" Lilly said.

"Sweetie. How are you feeling?" I asked.

"No good."

"Why won't you eat for momma?"

"I will, but I'm not hungry."

"Please."

"Okay."

"Hand the phone back to grandma."

She handed the phone back.

"Take her to the hospital."

"I am. I wanted to call you first."

"Okay. This tour is only two months. Oh god. I want to go back home."

"No. This is your job. She just has a little flu. She'll be fine."

"Promise?"

"I promise pumpkin."

"Okay. Call me tomorrow?"

"Alright. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up and sat down.

"You have a kid?" Ronnie asked walking in.

He must have been listening in. I'm quiet for a second, thinking about how to respond.

"Um. Yeah. I do." I say shifting my weight and crossing my arms.

"How old is she?"

"She's three." I hope he won't catch on.

"That's cute. So what's going on with her?" He asks.

"She's sick and I'm never home for her." I rubbed my face. "I want to go back to sleep. Care to join me?"

"Sure."

We walk back to the room quietly without waking anyone. We laid in the bed.

"Don't tell anyone. I don't want people to know about my kid." I said.

"I won't." He says.

"No, I'm serious. Not a word."

"I promise."

And we fall asleep.
