We arrived in Dallas about an hour later. We had about thirty minutes to get ready for the show. Everyone was rushing and getting irritated and that really bothered me.

Crescent Sun went out onstage and performed after the time flew away.

I think we did well, but not as well as we usually do.

Maybe this baby is slowing me down, I don't know.

But Eddie performed amazing. He always did. While I was backstage, listening to Eddie's beautiful voice, Security told me a man claiming to be my brother was trying to see me.

Oh my god.

I followed the security guy to where the dude was waiting.

I recognized him instantly.

Silas.

"It's been five fucking years," he said. I ran towards him, embracing him in a hug.

"God, I've missed you," I said.

Silas was such a good brother to me. He practically raised me. I haven't seen my dad in ages, which is fine by me, and its been awhile (the beginning of the tour) since I've talked to my mother.
But I've missed Silas the most.

"I've missed you, too, Sis," he laughed.
And then we just sat there, hugging, crying.

"I have something big to tell you," I said.

"I know, I know, you're dating Eddie Vedder, I'm happy for you," he smiled genuinely.

Silas had very dark hair, bright brown eyes, and he was taller than Satan. But he was so kind, so genuine.

"No, umm...I'm pregnant," I said softly.

"Oh, Amanda, really??" He said excitedly.

"Yes, Silas, you're an uncle now,"

Silas cried some more, and kissed my forehead.

And then I felt someone watching us.

"Hey," Eddie said quietly, "who the hell is this?!" He demanded.

"Aw, Eddie, this is my brother, Silas!"

I let go of Silas so they could meet.

"So, you're my niece or nephew's father?" Silas smiled.

"Yes, and I'm thrilled to be. I will take good care of Amanda, Silas, and our child. I promise."

"Good, and I must say, it's so cool to meet you," Silas said, "big fan."

"Awe, thanks," Eddie smiled shyly.

Everyone was cleaning up and packing up their stuff, getting ready to get back on the road.

"We gotta go, Amanda," Eddie said, rubbing my back.

"I know." I sighed. Gentle tears ran down my face as I was forced to say goodbye to my brother.

"I love you," I said, through tears.

"I love you, too," Silas said. And then he kissed my forehead and left.

Silas is always on the go, leaving constantly, never staying put. He was an interesting dude.

I then turned to Eddie and cried some more.

I'm so sorry this is a short chapter forgive me children

And thank you all for the reads, votes, and comments. It makes me soooo happy (:
