'Hot Momma...Abigail Jenson-Tedder was seen on set for her newest movie 9 to 5. The wife of OneRepublic front man Ryan Tedder, has slimmed right down just 9 weeks after giving birth to twins. Abigail will be playing a single Mom of 4, who constantly struggles between her home life and blossoming Career...

Ryan's POV

"Wow they pay more attention to her figure than I do" I hold the paper up so Zach can also read it.

"9 weeks?" Zach frowned.

"Yeah I know it's more like 20 weeks but you know how they like to change details" I get up and pour myself another coffee.

It's been 8 weeks since I brought Abi home from hospital and it was pretty safe to say things were about back to normal. Abi had finished filming her final scenes in Vampire Stories and was now working on a new movie, which luckily was being filmed just a few kilometers down the road from our home in LA. So she could come home every day, I too was working close to home which was great.

Thing's with Nick weren't exactly great at the moment which was putting an incredible amount of stress on Abi, stress she really didn't need. After constant arguments with Nick Abi had finally decided it was the right time to appear on a Piers Morgan special tv show, this was tonight and I have to admit it made me felt sick about thinking about.

"Is she ready for tonight?" Zach leant back in his chair and looked at me.

"Yeah, I think so" I frown "It's me that's freaking out"

"Yeah its not going to be easy putting all that shit out there, but I guess it's like Abi said. She can tell the truth and put an end to all the fabrications" Zach sighed.

"I know, it's just hard knowing she will be putting herself in the firing line literally" I sigh.

"Yeah but she has spoke to Piers about comfort zones and no go areas right?" Zach now also looked worried.

"Yeah but that never usually stops him, truth is man this is gonna go one way or the other" I explain "There's stuff even her parents don't know about"

"Shit man" Zach finally got why I was worried "Abi's strong though dude, I'm sure she'll be okay"

"So Ryan first of all we want to say a huge congratulations on becoming a Dad" Hugh beamed. We were sat in his radio station studio, doing an interview mainly to talk about the music I was working on with Leona Lewis and Taylor Swift "How does it feel with it one but two tiny new arrivals in the house?"

"Erm it's amazing" I smile as I think about all the fun me and Abi have had since bringing the twins home.

"And how about Abigail, we saw a picture of her recently looking smoking hot..." Hugh was known for his cheekiness.

"My wife always looks smoking hot" I laugh "But yeah I saw the same picture..."

"I can't believe she got back in shape so quickly" A woman interrupted us.

"Technically it took double the time they're suggesting but yeah she is definately back in shape now" as I am answering the questions I find myself secretly hoping that this interview isn't going to turn out to be yet another Nick and Abi focused one. Last time I was in that position I said alot of things I shouldn't and in the process ended up adding flame to the fire.

"Ryan we read recently that Abi has been working closer to home, during filming her newest movie. Compared to being on the road all the time how does that effect you as a family unit? It must he nice having her home everyday?" The woman smiled.

"Yeah absolutely, I mean it's great seeing eachother everyday. But on the other hand we both know our work will take us in different directions at some point so we have to be optimistic about it aswell. But yeah right now it's almost perfect" I reply.

"Almost?" Hugh questions, shit I think to myself quickly.

"Well yeah I think we all know exactly why the situation isn't completely perfect" I frown hoping Hugh doesn't question me further and to my relief he doesn't. Bringing Freya up in an interview wouldn't exactly help Abi in her Nick situation.

"So Ryan tell us more about your work with Taylor Swift?"...

The interview wasn't nearly as bas as I thought it would be, especially when they started probing about family life. I walked out if the studio feeling relieved, I wasn't sure if I would feel like this after Abi's interview later. I think the hardest thing for me is knowing Abi will be up there completely by herself.

Usually whenever we do intrusive interviews we do them together, like the one we did after her meningitis. But this was just about her...my thoughts were interupted by my cell phone.

"Hey baby, we finished up early so I am going home to have a bit of studio time, I'll take the twins to my Mom and Dad's ready for later" I could tell Abi was distracted just by the tone of her voice.

"Okay, I'll be home in an hour" I reply.

"It's okay you don't need to come home"

"No it's okay, I'm done here anyway" I hang up the phone and slip it back in my jeans pocket before heading to the car.

When I eventually arrive home I see Abi's white range rover in the driveway, she must be back from Stella and Franks house.

I open the door and hear music filling the hallway I recognise the song instantly as Abi had been doing alot of work with this song lately it was Even If by Ella Eyre.

Leroy was sat in the lounge on his laptop, I put my jacket down on the kitchen side before heading towards Abi's dance studio. She was wearing a pair of black cropped leggings and a white sports bra top...I leant in the door way and just watched her for a few moments, before she realised I was there. She stopped dancing and came and grabbed my hands dragging me into the middle of the room "Dance with me" she whispered. I nodded my head and smiled.

I had danced with Abi on more than one occasion so was getting better, I put my hand on her waist and held her other hand. Looking into her eyes I started to follow her lead, our feet moved to some sort of waltz, I even managed to twirl her a few times. As the music intensified I found myself pulling her closer to me, her gaze never left mine.

'...And I said I would never hold on to you, but you hold on to me...'

Abi leant up and kissed me, our feet just stopped moving as soon as her lips met mine. I moved both hands to her hips, as she wrapped her arms around my neck...
