Amelia's POV:

That's it, the moment has come. my moment to shine.
After 4 weeks that felt like 4 long months, our musical comes on today, I mean another hour. 4 weeks of rehearsals, love, hate, crying outbursts, anxiety attacks, new songs written, words and melody. Dad's birthday, mom's concerts. Paparazzi, new articles, dad's season games again, staying at school until the late hours of the evening. Microphone, lights, measurements for costumes, dancing and smiling!

And finally a special person who was with me all along, James. That's it, tonight will be the last time we perform together side by side. Tonight will be the last time I will be his Nala and he's my Simba. Maybe we took our characters too far?

I stood in front of the mirror looking at myself in a costume that was made especially for me. Make-up and on my head the mask. They connected my microphone and the earpieces . See? This is the only reason I'm happy to be in a school of rich people, they invest in their students and do productions like it's a minimum Broadway here.
Breathing lightly, I turned around to hear a familiar voice.

"I don't care that I'm not allowed in, this is my daughter, I want to see her"

"Sir, please go and wait in the hall seats, I promise you that you will see your daughter at the end of the show"

"Please just for a minute"

"Mr kelce, Amelia is in good hands and.."

"That's okay Maddie I'll talk to him really quick"
I put my hand on hers and nodded.

"You have a minute Amelia! A minute and I want to see you back inside"
Maddie said stressed and I can't blame her. She is responsible for 100 students who also participate in dances, production and crew members, makeup artists, seamstresses and the pressure of 500 parents out there. She left and dad looked at me with the pride of seeing me in the costume and he choked, gasping, got down to my height and kissed the palm of my hand.

"My god! You're so beautiful sweetheart...I can't believe how beautiful you are!" he took a strand of hair and tucked it behind my ear as an ear to ear smile spread across my face.

"Be careful, dad, they just finished making me the Babylis" I let out a giggle.

"Wait let me see her too!!" suddenly I heard another voice and I looked down towards his phone.

"Sorry honey, I was busy admiring her beauty"
Dad said and picked up his phone, he turned the screen and there I saw mom sitting in her puffy Lover dress with her hands on her belly,with her makeup artist and tree on the couch in the back. To be honest, I like the outfits now more than before. And to be even more honest my favorite is Lover, it's a puffy pink dress studded with Swarovski stones, and my second favorite dress is Reputation, she had to gave up the iconic suit but instead she replaced it with a black dress studded with green diamonds and silver snakes. The pregnancy made mom change all the costumes to hide her belly and until now it was an easy task to hide the pregnancy because people didn't suspect, mom likes to change her outfits like she did for the European leg and after the TTPD change so people assumed it was another normal change of hers. But now rumors have started about her pregnancy and I know it will be hard to hide.
