We Are A Family

Chapter 05

The month's began, Kayla was due in a couple of weeks and I still had four month's to go; everyone was becoming anxious knowing a baby was on its way. The girls kept getting excited when they were around Kayla, she was going to be a mother soon; the guys and I were trying to be calm about it. CC kept boasting about his excitement, that was one thing that gave Mark and him something to talk about when they were left alone in a room.
I walked onto the porch with my arms crossed, the guys were going on tour in a week and I wasn't able to ride because of the stress of the pregnancy; or that was what my doctor told me. I wasn't going to see CC on his birthday, and there was no telling if him and the guys would be here when Kayla goes into labor. I didn't like the idea of him being away from me that long..
Lauren raced through my mind and instantly, I was becoming more and more nervous about CC and the guys leaving. What happens if he runs into her? What happens if she seduces him..? Wait, CC is my husband not to mention a soon to be father.. I shouldn't be doubting him like that.
I placed my hands on my stomach looking at the growth, I smiled softly looking at the yard.
Memories of the guys playing basketball, and other games raced through my mind as I grinned.
This was going to be a great family.

A week came by way too fast, and I was in a emotional state where I was crying on and off not wanting CC to leave; we stood in the yard near the bus as the guys loaded it and he held me in his hold with a soft frown.
"I'll be home sooner than you'll know it, its only four weeks Haley." He said in a soft voice, tears escaped my eyes as I held onto him.
"I know.. I'm just going to miss you too much." I murmured
I felt him chuckle as he lifted my chin for our eyes to meet. "I will miss you and our unborn child way more, I can promise you that." He said kissing my forehead.
It made my eyes burn with more tears, he was going to be gone for a month and I was not at all prepared for this.
I walked over to the bus with my hand in his, he handed Jon his bag before turning to me as he took a step onto the bus.
"Call me every day, I will see you in a month." CC told me then pressed his lips to mine.
My hand slipped from his and I wished I hadn't let go, I stood there in the yard waving as the guys drove away; tears were falling from my eyes but I was managing a smile. Just for CC.

I had no idea what I would do in a month waiting for them to come back, I felt alone.
I walked back into the house with a sigh, what was I going to do? I looked to the couch to find Shay asleep, I knew her and Ashley were a couple; but I would of figured she would be emotional about him leaving too.. Maybe it was because I was pregnant and I had too many thoughts in my head right now, I walked up stairs into the study the guys made for me; when I told him about my love for writing and drawing. They invested this little study, just for me so I could focus on my work.
I pulled out the chair, took a seat then turned the lap top on.
I smiled softly at the background of me and CC smiling in a hug, I went to my files then pulled up the folder I was recently working on. I opened up the story then began my work.
Its been a few hours of non typing, my hair was pulled into a ponytail; my glasses were on and I had a cup of tea at my side. My eyes have barely left the screen since I began, I needed to add more into the chapters; I yawned a little then jumped at the sound of my door being tapped on.
I glanced over before my brow was arched seeing Ricky there, he was grinning with amusement.
"Thought you fell asleep up here." He said.
I frowned looking at him, saving where I was; I turned to him in my spiny chair. "Not being rude, but what are you doing here? Don't you guys have a concert?" I asked with my arms crossed.
Ricky nodded. "We do, in a hour or so; I dropped by to see if you were okay after CC left." He said.
I gave off a soft smile. "That's sweet Ricky, I'm fine now; I will be calling CC shortly to make sure they made it to the hotel safe." I told him.
Ricky nodded, he walked further into the room. "Shay left earlier, said she needed to make a trip to the store for some... lime and cucumbers..?" He questioned with a raised brow.
I couldn't help but grin at the confusion on his face, removing myself from the chair now; I walked over to the door.
"Its a really good snack she got me into, see. You gotta cut the cucumber in half, or how ever long you want it? And you have to start slicing that half then place them into a bowl, after that. You need to rinse them, afterwards; you cut the lime in half, squeeze the juice on them and then add salt." I explained.
Ricky grinned softly. "That sounds slightly intriguing, maybe one day I'll come by again and you can make some? I'd attempt to do it, but I'm sure the guys would be like; what the fuck is that?" He said with a laugh, I joined in as we walked down the stairs. The sound of honking caught me off guard, I walked over to the door with a raised brow. Opening it, I glanced over my shoulder to Ricky with a smirk.
"Their coming to take you away." I said with a laugh.
Ricky rolled his eyes with a smile. "If you weren't pregnant, I'd ask you to come to our concert." He said as I rose a brow. "If I wasn't pregnant, I would have gone on tour with CC and the guys." I told him with my arms crossed.
Ricky chuckled softly. "See you later." He said walking out the door.
I stood there with my arms crossed, I placed my hand on my stomach with a sigh then smiled softly.
"I guess its just you and I until Shay comes back.." I said walking off towards the kitchen.
I walked over to the sink then jumped at the sound of the phone ringing, turning around now; I ran a hand through my hair. I placed it onto my ear with a yawn.
"Moshi, moshi?" I questioned.
{"Do you know a Mark Fischbach?"} The voice wasn't familiar but it belonged to a guy.. I frowned, why was someone asking for Mark? More importantly, calling here?
"Uhm, I do; but he doesn't live here. I will probably see him tomorrow with his wife, can I take a message?" I asked with my arms crossed.
{"Just let him know, I'm on my way; coming to kill him."} The line went dead and I felt frozen, at times like this.. I needed CC.
I looked at the phone for a moment, surely that was a prank.. I don't want to get the others worked up.. but a threat like that over the phone? I felt sick..
I knew I needed to contact Kayla and Mark right away.
I frowned deeply, I was beginning to shake. Why or who would want to kill Mark? For what reason..? I ran a hand through my hair, pulling out my phone; I knew it was late, but I needed to get my sister and Mark over here just in case the caller was serious..
I headed back upstairs to make the call then inform Shay what was going on.
