A week after...
Nate was discharged from the hospital while Jack stayed home to get better. Rachel and Sulene were inside Jack's room to look after him.. Sulene will be leaving 2 days from now so she has to spend the rest of her time asking Jack about how to play with this or that or about the tour. On the other hand, Nate and Andrew were getting ready together with Emily, Nattie, and Will. Does Nate know about Jack's condition?
**** Nate's POV
All of us were getting ready for the first show 2 days from now and Andrew told me about Jack. He is going to be replaced by Sulene, she was now at Jack's place right now. Whatis going on? I found something suspicious right here, I can smell it... Anyways, the tour will last for a month only so I have more time to discover about Jack's condition.
I went over to Charlotte that time and checked on our baby. She is now 6 months pregnant and the gender of our baby will be a boy.. I win!
"Hey! Sorry if I didn't bring you to the doctors yesterday."
"Don't worry Nate... I am fine and baby's fine right now.. 3 months more. Excited?"
"Of course! I'm going to be a daddy to this child here in your large tummy."
"Nate!"
"Sorry. Don't worry, you will be playing basketball when you became fat."
"How sweet of you... By the way, I have some great news."
"What news?" I smiled.
She get the results of the ultrasound yesterday from the table and started to smile, shooting daggers at me... Is she angry now? She gave me the brown envelope and saw the results... The gender of the baby... It's a boy! I started laughing at her cause she lost the game..
"I win! Yehey!"
"Make me a girl next time Nate."
"Nahh... I love boys."
"Nathaniel! Bad boy."
"Okay, okay... Wait for 2 years and you will be receiving a baby girl."
The next 2 months after the tour, I will be with Charlotte at our place. Andrew and the rest of the band arrived and told them the news... They were so happy, especially Andrew. Well, who knows that he has Harold, their first baby with Jill... How about Jack? I'm sure they will adopt one since Lena can't be pregnant.. HAHA!
"So Nate. Any names for your first boy?" Andrew asked.
"I still can't think of one Dost."
"Hey Cha! How about you?"
"I don't name boys so Nate will take care of them." Charlotte grinned.
**** Jack's POV
I was now with Sulene at my place and taught her some techniques on how to be a better lead guitarist on stage. How to be confident and I also shared to her about my experiences while on stage, including the worst moments... Falling the stage was one and Nate immediately headed towards me and told the crowd to continue singing.. I laughed at him that time.. I wish he also fell on stage.
We were talking until some intruder tried to knock the door and entered Daniel, Nate's little bro.. 16 years of age I guess and he's here to ask something about Nate and his address here in New York.
"Woah! Hey Daniel! You're... growing up now. What's up?"
"Ah... Hey Jack! Like, I was going to ask something about Nate... I don't know his address here in NY and good thing I saw Rachel outside this place so I asked her."
"You're asking for Nate's place? Sorry boy, I can't go out and show to public.. But, this girl will bring you to Nate's." I pointed at Sulene and she smiled, Daniel smiled back too.. "By the way Sulene, this is Daniel.. Nate's little brother. Daniel, meet Sulene.. Nate's band mate and friend."
"Nice meeting you Sulene."
"You too Daniel... So Jack, I better go and bring this boy to Nate's place. See you soon."
"Okay... Take care and play like fuck."
**** Daniel's POV
So this girl named Sulene just brought me to Nate's place. Who the fuck is she? And, who is she in Nate's life?
Both of us were at her car and she turned on the IPod on it... She was playing 'Backyard Foreigners' from the fun.'s new album... There was this awkward thing between the two of us and since Nate's place was far from Jack's... I broke the silence and asked a question.
"Are you Nate's partner?" I asked... She was shocked at my question and she stayed silent until we stopped cause of heavy traffic.
"Nope... Nate has one already. And, his partner is pregnant... Meaning, Nate is going to be a dad soon."
"Oh! Sorry about that... By the way, I am Daniel.. Nate's step brother. "
"Step?"
"Yeah... Dad had an affair before and Mom was getting angry about it. At first, she didn't accept me also Nate. But as time flies, they started to take care of me but except for Nate... He hates me a lot."
"Until now?"
"I don't know. We talk once and he just smiled... I don't know what was the sign for that. And, the reason why I flew here because Mom and Dad sent an errand for Nate.. Yeah."
"Why don't you talk to Nate once again? That would be great."
"I'll try."
She smiled at me and now... we arrived at Nate's place. She was a great person after all.
**** Nate's POV
Mom had told me about the small box and someone will bring it for me. She loves surprises at all. Well, not this time. I know Libbie or Michael will bring those for me. Sulene just arrived from Jack's place and shouted from the living room.
"Nate! You have a visitor! And, your errand arrived!"
"Who's that?"
"Your good old brother!"
Geez! It was the first time Daniel flew all by himself and I'm so happy about it. Mom really loves surprises. Andrew went over to the living room and brought him here with me at the kitchen..
"Hey there!" I said and pulled him for a hug.
"Nate. Your brother's a shy type eh?" Andrew said, grabbing some drinks from the refrigerator.
"Fuck no." I snapped and he just laughed. I pulled away from Daniel and he sat down beside me from the table.. He grabbed the small box from his pack and gave it to me. "There's a letter on this?"
"I don't even know that there's a fucking letter there. Maybe it's for you. And, I'll just stay here overnight and I will fly back."
"Oh no you don't boy!"
"What do you mean?"
"You're joining the tour with us and we will hire you as the photographer for this event."
"Geez! Let's drink to that motherfucker!" Andrew said.
"Fuck! Don't grab any and this boy is still 16 years old."
"Oh."
