JUSTIN

I kissed the top of Serrina head and then looked into her eyes, her smile filling her cheeks and her eyes shut, "I'm gonna go." The kids were still sleeping and I wanted to leave before they were awake. After a long argument where we mostly just yelled at each other, we had decided it was best for me to keep working while everything worked itself out. The kids were getting used to me being at home but it still wasn't normal. They ignored me and acted like I wasn't there if they weren't giving me dirty looks.

Serrina places her hands on my face and sighed, "Don't do anything stupid." Her haze showed no emotion and her lips were pressed together.

"I probably will," I bent over and kissed her forehead again, "But I'll call and tell you about them."

She moved her hands off my face and they crossed across her chest. Her growing tummy stuck out way past her arms and I was almost positive she could no longer tie her own shoes. I smiled at the though then bent over to put my shoes on. When I stood back up she was already holding out my jacket. I took it from her and slipped it on, "I love you." Her words weren't expected and it made my heart clench.

"I love you too." I said it the. Left the room, knowing that if I stayed for much longer I would climb back into bed with her and miss work.

It took a lot less time than normal to get to the studio today. Maybe it was because of the butterflies in my stomach and preoccupied brain. As I walked into the room and looked up at the people who were usually smiling, I knew something was off. Scooter wouldn't make eye contact with me and most of the guys were giving me odd, sideways glances.

"Scott?" When I called his name, Scooter looked up at me and I saw the look of devastation in his eyes, "What happened?"

He reached towards the magazine beside him and tossed it in my direction, "Remi King happened." I read the title and my stomach began to churn: We're In Love

It took less than a second for me to flip through and find the page containing the story and I began to read.

"It just sort of happened, you know? When you work together so closely for as long as we did, one thing leads to another surprisingly quick." Remi King says, telling the story of how her romance with Justin Bieber began and how it's become such a major part of their lives.

My teeth clenched and my fists wrinkled the paper, "What did she do?"

"She told the media that you're having an affair." Scooter was obviously mad, but the look is his eyes was sad, "You are so stupid. Why would you put all of our work on the line like this?"

"I'm not." I gasped and threw the magazine on the floor, "I haven't touched her." I saw all the eyes in the room settle on me and I stared back at them, "I'm finally on good terms with my wife. Why would I do anything to risk that?"

I was hoping that would make Scooter relax but he nodded at the magazine, "Pick it up. She told them a lot more than a fake affair." It took me a few seconds to bend over and lift the magazine from the ground and flip it back to the page. I skimmed the page until I found the spot Scooter had referred to.

"He was having problems with his wife. She had just found out she was pregnant and they weren't sure it was even his kid," Remi told US, "He was [extremely] emotional and I was there for him. It was hard for both of us but we had each other." Remi continued on about how Justin planned to leave his marriage to be with her, " He always spoke about how their marriage was totally for show and he planned to divorce his wife then marry me, but she kept telling him that she would go public with her pregnancy, say it was his, if he tried to leave so we kept our relationship quiet." When we asked her why she was going public then she told us, "I'm just tired of hiding. Our love is real. We should have to hide that."

"What does she think shes doing?" I looked up from the page as my chest tightened. It suddenly felt like I had 560 pound weights sitting on my chest, "She going to ruin my life."

My face must have looked shattered because he nodded at the door, "Go home and see your wife. She needs to know whats going on and she shouldn't hear about this through the news."

I didn't hesitate to bolt out the studio door and begin my trip home.

******

When I pulled open the front door, 3 pairs of eyes fell on me. First, I saw my wife, then, Ashley and Connor.

Then I saw the magazine on the kitchen table between them.

"You have to let me explain." I didn't even take my shoes off before walking across the room. I was prepared to defend myself when I saw the small smile on Serrina's face. I just shook my head, "What?"

She looked down at the book, "Serrina is a desperate woman who is with him because of his fame and he's too nice to leave her and her kids. Justin doesn't even know if they're all his." then she sputtered and laughed, "This is gold."

"You're not mad?" I was half expecting for her to kick me out again.

She shrugged and stood up, walking around the table and taking both of my sweaty hands in each of hers, "Should I be? Is it true?" She could only keep a straight face for a few seconds before she smiled again, "Do you need proof that the children I birthed are half yours?"

A smile grew across my face and the panic that had grown in my chest vanished, "Probably. Our marriage was all for show. Who knows how many guys you were with behind my back."

Another laugh escaped her perfect mouth and she pressed her forehead to my chest, her hands placing mine on her growing belly, "I can assure you, He's definitely yours."

I smiled and looked down at her then my brain realized what she had just said. I took my hands off her belly and lifted her chin so our eyes met, "Wait, he? I thought it was a girl."

She shrugged, "Actually, it's twins again." I felt the panicking setting back in and then she lifted one of her hands up to my chin, "I'm, kidding. Its just one. A boy." Then, her next words made my heart explode and I felt butterflies erupt in my stomach, "The kids and I named him Jasper." My face must have been blank because her smile disappeared, "Is that okay?"

Suddenly, tears were welling in my eyes and i wrapped my arms around her neck, pulling her body close to me and burying my face in her neck, tears were falling down my face at the speed of light and she just rubbed my back, "I love it. That's perfect." She laughed but I could tell she was crying now too so I pulled away from her and kissed her forehead, "I love you so much."

She laughed through the crying and her smile was genuine, "I love you too."

"Alright Love Birds, get a room." Ashley piped in behind us.

Serrina turned around and gave her friend a friendly glare, "We have a house and you're in it. Welcome to the love fest." Then she turned back to me and placed an intense kiss on my lips.
