Being Brad's Sister

78. Three days

James' pov

It is now three days until the baby is due. Three days! I am beyond excited. We have a show tonight but then we don't have any shows for two nights although we do have some interviews but Joe has already said that if the baby comes I can be excused from going to the interview.

I am really excited because I can't wait to hold my baby in my arms but at the same time I am nervous, as you would be. This is my first child. What if I don't know what to do? What if it cries and I can stop it because I don't know what the cries mean? Aside from all the worries I am excited because there will be a mini me running around. Well a mini Emma and me.

Being on tour has made me realise how much I love Emma, when they say absence makes the heart grow fonder they are right because every second I miss Emma I love her that little bit more I realise how much I need her. I can't wait to see her again. I don't know who I am more excited to see. Emma or the baby.

The lads and I went to the gym this morning for an hour and we haven't long been back. I've had a shower to freshen up and I've actually just finished changing into fresh clean clothes. Brad is currently in the shower, Connor had a shower in management and securities bus and Tristan is having a shower after Connor. That's the good thing about having all of the buses, when someone is having a shower on our bus we will just nip into security and management's bus and use their shower. Not long ago we each went onto a different bus to have a shower: Brad in our bus, me on Joe's bus and Connor and Tristan went onto the other crew member's bus.

Feeling clean and happy I flop in front of the sofa ready to waste some time on the Xbox. It is ten o'clock now and we don't have sound check until half past one then we have a mini meeting with Joe about the American tour and what is going to happen before we go on stage for half past seven after our supporting acts have finished.

"Room for one more player?" Connor yells excitedly as he skips on to our bus.

"Grab a controller I haven't started yet." I smile.

"I'm just going to chuck this into my bunk." He runs past me and seconds later returns grabs a control and throws himself into the sofa next to me. "What are we playing?"

"Star Wars Commander. It was already in. Is that alright?"

"Sure." The game soon starts and we zone out just focusing on the game and only the game. Well I say we zone out I mean Connor. Of course I pay attention to what I am doing but I am also listening out for my phone just in case.

Emma's pov

I wake up yawning and stretching before looking at my phone to see what the time is. My eyes nearly pop out my head when I read the figures. I fell asleep at midnight and I have slept through until ten o'clock! That is a first. For the past God knows how many months I've had a ridiculous amount of sleep.

Feeling a lot more refreshed then I do most mornings I roll out of bed, my feet sink into the soft carpet as I walk out of the room. Going downstairs and into the kitchen I know I brought some eggs and bacon yesterday so I decide to do some scrambled egg with bacon bits. It's simple and quick to cook plus it doesn't require a lot of skill, I can cook but I'm not brilliant.

My phone starts ringing on the counter by the stove the caller ID showing that it is Jayna calling me.

"Hey Jay."

"Alright, how are you doing?"

"I'm good I've actually only just woken up. Finally got a decent amount of sleep last night."

"Good. So are you up for a bit of Jayna Emma time?"

"I'm always up for some Jayna Emma time." I laugh.
