My Idol's Baby Sister

McDonald's Makes Me Sick

I woke up the next morning on the rider and I instantly felt like shit. Even the way the air smelt made me want to hold my head out the window like a dog just to get away from it.

I lay in my bunk with the blankets pulled up over my head trying to hide from the smell of the air. I must've picked up a sort of flu bug from a fan or the bathroom sink or something because I feel like absolute shit all the time. I puke up seemingly everything that I eat, I always have to piss, I always have a splitting headache, and even when I sleep for most of the daylight hours I'm still fucking beat. This flu is kicking the shit out of me and hopefully it's done in a couple of days to a week.

I finally pull myself out of bed after about an hour of trying to ignore whatever was making me feel sick. I get dressed and I drop down on the couch beside Michael but I'm still sleepy.

"Hey look who's finally awake!" David says loudly and I squint because it hurts my head. "Eddie and I ran to a McDonald's while you were still asleep."

"Is that what the horrible smell is?" I ask.

"Nah, that's probably Zac." Beck speaks up. "I don't think he's showered in a couple of days."

"No it's not that." I say and Alex grabs the brown paper bag off the counter.

"Here is it this?" Alex asks and holds the bag out to me.

I take the bag in my hands and quickly smell the contents and I instantly regret it. The nauseous feeling intensifies and I quickly push the bag back at Alex.

"Uh huh." I say quickly and run to the bathroom.

I empty my stomach and sit with my back against the counter. Now McDonald's is making me sick, this is fucking great! I'm so fucking done with the flu! I flush the toilet and brush my teeth again and a knock comes on the door.

"Katie? It's me and Alex, are you okay?" Eddie asks as I rinse my mouth.

I spit into the sink and open the door as I wipe my mouth with a towel. Both my older brothers study me and I smile.

"I picked up a flu bug but don't worry." I say. "I'm sure I'll be done with it in a few days."

"Are you sure?" Alex asks as a concerned older brother and I nod.

"Yeah, I'm good." I promise him.

"Do you need a doctor or soup or cough syrup?" Eddie asks and I smile.

"I'm okay, I swear. You guys worry too much." I say and walk back out to the main part of the rider.

Later on that day we're getting set up for sound check and I'm fixing my hair in the bathroom mirror when Hannah comes up behind me. She starts to fix her hair too before looking at me and more specifically looking at my chest.

"Hannah, honey, we both have boyfriends and I don't swing that way." I say and she rolls her eyes.

"I'm not looking because of that, dumbass. Your boobs look bigger." Hannah says and I look down at my chest. "I mean it actually looks like you're filling your bra."

I do have a pretty hard time filling up a B cup but maybe I'm crazy and maybe Hannah is crazy but they do look a little bigger, like they're actually filling my bra. I awkwardly fix my tank top and Hannah laughs.

"You know that's a sign of pregnancy." She jokes and my eyes grow making her look at me. "I'm joking Katie, I mean you and Tommy use protection, don't you?"

"Of course we do, we're not stupid teenagers." I save.

Did we? I mean I can't remember if we did that last time, I mean I was pretty drunk. I honestly don't remember and I guess it could be a possibility that I'm pregnant. Oh my god, how will Tommy react to this? I mean we've been together all of a month! He's going to want to break up and I'll be left to raise a child all by myself and Im not ready for that.

I'm able to sneak away after sound check and run to the closet convenience store. I awkwardly wander around the aisles looking for the piss sticks. I'm not going to be that fucking person and ask 'oh yeah, where's your pregnancy tests?'. I get to the aisle and grab the first box I see. I quickly take it to the cash register and pay without making eye contact.

From there I go to my hotel room and double lock the door so no one will walk in on me taking the test. I take the test and leave it on the bathroom counter. I sit on the edge of the bed and wait the three minutes that I have to. Stage time is faster than normal time but waiting time is longer than normal time. Those three minutes feel like hours.

When I walk into the bathroom I'm scared to look down at the test. I've never prayed so hard in my life that I failed a test. I count to three and look down at the test. Two pure pink line face me and my stomach does a flip again....and I puke into the toilet again.

After I brushed my teeth for the fourth time today I dial Tommy's hotel number. He answers first ring.

"Hello?" He answers.

"Hey baby!" I say excitedly.

"Katie! I miss you so much!" Tommy beams and I smile.

"I miss you too." I admit. "I have something I have to talk to you about."

"You're kinda worrying me." He admits and my heart drops. "But continue, babe."

"Tommy, I'm pregnant." I say quickly and the line goes really quiet.

I have never been one to cry but my eyes are filling up with tears and I can't hold the, back at this point. I finally had my life coming together. The band is getting some attention and I have a boyfriend that I'm crazy about and all in a matter of seconds all of that might be ripped away from me. I'm scared and I don't know what to do. Crying seems like the only logical thing to do at this point.

"Ar-ar-are you sure?" Tommy asks after a long time.

"According to the pregnancy test and me puking none stop for the past two weeks." I admit and wipe my eyes. "Look I understand if you don't want to be a dad but I'm completely against abortion--"

"What makes you think I don't want to be a dad? I'm going to be the best fucking dad on this planet." He laughs and I smile. "What are you going to do about tour?"

"I'm not that far along, I'll wear baggy shirts if I start to gain weight and I won't drink or smoke anymore and I'll blame morning sickness on the flu." I explain. "Tour is only for the summer anyways."

"Yeah, true." Tommy agrees. "What are you thinking about right now?"

"I'm so scared, Tommy. Not as scared as I was because I thought you were going to leave but I'm still so fucking scared right now." I admit. "I'm scared to face my family and my band, I haven't even met your family so that scares me too. I'm scared of give birth...I'm just fucking scared."

"Baby, I'm scared too but we'll figure it out. We'll get our family together after we get back and figure out all this baby stuff. Everything will work itself out." He promises me and I smile. "We're not telling anyone yet, right?"

"Right, I think our families should know first." I say.

"That's a good point." Tommy agrees.

I'm fucking pregnant and that's horrifying but Tommy isn't going anywhere so that's reassuring but still. I'm going to have to give birth in the near future, that scares the hell out of me. Our families are going to flip shit, I just hope I can survive that. I mean Eddie and Alex aren't fond of Tommy to start with, the second they find out that he got me pregnant out of wedlock. All hell is going to break loose.

This is going to be fun...like World War Two was fun for the Jewish.....we're all gonna die.
