Into The Unknown

Chapter 67

Ryan's POV

It had been a few days since Abi broke the news to the rest of they guys about investing in us, it seemed to have given them a new view on things now which made finishing our record a lot easier. We had booked some studio time in New York so we could do this.

Abi had a meeting with one of the directors of a new movie that was due to be filmed after Christmas, Leroy had gone with them obviously "Is it the new Marvel Movie Dude?" Drew asked as he turned away from his guitar.

"You know I can't tell you that man" I chuckled they had been trying to get details out of me all afternoon. There had been rumours Abi hand been hand picked for the lead role in a new Marvel Movie, things seemed to be going really well for her again, especially after what happened with Kelsey in Georgia.

"Aww come on that sucks, you know we won't tell anybody" Drew pleaded "Okay well is it the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie then?"

"Dude, honestly I can't tell you. She'd kill me if I did, or worse put me on a sex ban" I reply and Drew frowns.

"Fine, but you can cross me off the loyal babysitters list" he mocks sulking, I shake my head as I watch Brent on the cello, he is playing some sort of peaceful melody "Hey thats awesome man, do you have any lyric ideas" he nods and hands me a screwed up piece of paper. The words he had written down blew me away "Okay I think Brent has just written the final track to finish the record"

Luckily we had no plans for this evening so that meant I could spend some time with Abi, we had arranged to go for dinner with the rest of the guys first and then the plan was to come home and watch movies, just the two of us.

"Hey baby can you zip me up?" Abi came into the bathroom, she looked gorgeous in a fitted red knee length dress "I can't reach"? Even though her baby bump was still huge, it was very neat and she still looked elegant. I gently pulled up the zip on the back, as she turned to face me she smiled widely "What are you looking at me like that for?"

"Because I love you" I replied as I kissed her forehead "All three of you" I added with my hand on her stomach. She put her hand on top of mine and looked up at me.

"We love you too" she whispered before kissing me gently, turning on her heels and heading back out into the lounge.

Freya had been due to come and stay with us but she called Abi and asked If she could stay with her Dad for an extra few days. I knew deep down this hurt Abi, but she didn't let on especially after her run in with Nick, she wanted everything to appear normal between them. So she reluctantly agreed, besides it was our wedding anniversary tomorrow so it would be amazing to have the day to ourselves.

"Is it a sequel to The Kings Savage?" Drew asked.

"Are you still going on about that?" Abi chuckled as she came back to the table with a tray of drinks, she put them on the table in between Eddie and Zach.

"You should have called me over to help you carry them" I frowned.

"Jesus Ryan it's a tray of drinks" she snapped as she grabbed my beer and her soda off the tray and plopped down in the seat beside me.

"Yeah well the doctor said you needed to take things easy towards the end" I reminded her, and she nodded "So what's the plans for tomorrow?"

"I'll be travelling with you on the bus to Chicago then meet everyone there"

"I meant for our anniversary" Abi's reply amused me, she always had her business head on.

"Oh, I don't mind" she blushed a little "Maybe just dinner, it's not like I can do much else"

"I'm sorry to interrupt you guys" One of the waitresses came over to the table "But there is a group of kids over there who are very excited that your here, would you be willing to pose for a few pictures?"

"Yeah sure" Abi jumps up and stands next to the waitress, we also stand and follow her to the table "Hi guys" Abi smiles.

"Oh my god" they all gasp in turn "It's Abigail Jenson-Tedder, and OneRepublic, they are actually here to talk to us"

"So what brings you guys here tonight?" Abi sits beside a young girl with Downs Syndrome.

"It's my birthday?" The little girl grins.

"Oh is that why you are wearing that beautiful dress" I can't help but smile as Abi interacts with the kids "So I bet I can guess which ones your favourite" she adds as she points at me and the boys "Zach?" The girl laughs loudly and shakes her head.

"No Ryan" the girl giggles.

"You have very good taste" Abi smirks "I'm going to have to keep my eye on you, hey is there anyway we could eat our dinner on this table?"

After a bit of rearranging we all managed to sit around the same table, the parents of the kids were sat on tables all around us. They seemed more an happy to have us around their kids. We all talked and interacted with them throughout our meals and then afterwards we took photographs with the kids and their parents, I looked up and saw Abi heading for the bathroom. One of the parents followed her, Leroy was soon stood beside Abi.

"Thank you so much for doing this, you have no idea how much it means to all of us" the woman hugged Abi "You really are an inspirational role model"

"Thank you" I was pleased this parent had said something nice, Abi needed to hear it "Hey listen don't worry about her bill here tonight, we will take care of it all"

"Oh thank you so much" the woman was delighted, she gather every one together and eventually after much organisation they were all on there way.

"Well I have learned one thing tonight" I tease as Abi looks at me "Three kids is more than enough for me"

"I'll say" Abi agrees, much to my relief "Hey listen I'm just going to the restroom" As Abi stands I can see her expression change, she puts her hand on her stomach. I sit forwards in my chair.

"Are you okay baby?" I ask drawing the attention of the other guys towards us. Zach, Drew, Eddie and Brent are all staring at her now. Abi nods and tries to brush off whatever is happening, it isn't until she tries to walk that I realise the seriousness of what going on.

"OW SHIT!" she cries as she wobbled, Eddie and I stand and grab her arms to stop her from falling.

"what's wrong" i ask frantically "is it the babies" she doesn't speak she just nods...
