5 days later, February 19, we are now in the amazing city of Seattle, Washington. I am very excited, since I've never been here before. The stage crew is already at the venue and they're getting the stage ready for tonight's show. All of us dancers are performing the same songs at every show, so only a few minutes of rehearsal was needed to do, just to go over some of the dance moves that needed more rehearsing. We all checked into our hotel first, which was just 15 minutes away from the venue, which is good. Once we got checked in, we got nicely dressed and went out to get something to eat, and we of course invited most of the crew that weren't assigned a job. Michael kindly declined because he had to fix something with his luggage, so only Chad, Madison, and the rest of the dancers came with us. We decided to eat at this place called Canlis. From what I've heard, this place is one of the best places to eat in Seattle. We walked into the restaurant, and we were quickly assisted to a table. Our waiter for the night quickly came over and took our orders. While we were waiting for our orders, we had a discussion about tonight's show. "I'm excited to perform in Seattle tonight." Madison smiled. "Me too. I've never been here before, so hopefully everything works out." I replied. "Well, I have a special announcement to make tonight, so stay tuned for that." I winked. "What would that be?" Chad asked. "Well, you're just going to have to wait and see." I giggled.

30 minutes later, our food arrived and we began to eat and enjoy the food. After 2 hours, we left the restaurant and headed back for the hotel. Once we got to the hotel, we changed into more comfortable clothes, then made our way to the venue. Michael offered us a ride there, so we hopped in his rental car and we made our way to the venue, Columbia City Theater. When we got to the venue, we saw some of the stage crew pulling in carts and luggages that were probably filled with lights and other things, so we quickly went over and offered to help them. After we helped them, we went over to the backstage area and found our dressing rooms. I quickly ran back to Michael's car and grabbed my extra clothes that I would be wearing tonight.

------3 hours later------

It is now 4:30 pm, and the show is at 6:30 pm. I told the dancers to get dressed and did the same and be prepared. After 10 minutes, Madison, Chad, Michael, and the rest of them made their way to the stage to practice their dances once more. After practice was over, I ran to my dressing room and grabbed my phone to make a quick phone call. I decided to call my Dad and Mom to check on my daughter. After 3 rings, I heard someone pick up the phone. "Hey baby girl, how's everything going?" Dad answered. "Everything's going great. We're in Seattle right now, and so far, everything is going great." I replied. "How's my baby girl?" I asked. "She's doing great. She's currently watching TV with your Mom." Dad replied. "Do you want to speak to them?" Dad asked. "Yes please, of course." I said. I heard the TV in the background getting louder and louder. "Honey, it's your daughter on the phone." Dad said. "Hey sweetie, how are you doing?" She replied. "Hey Mom! I'm doing great. I'm in Seattle right now, and everything is going ok so far." I said. I then heard my daughter Lycia Faith making noises. "Mom, please give kisses to my daughter for me." I smiled. "So Mom, the other reason why I called you is because I have something to tell you guys." I said. "What's that sweetie?" She asked. "Well, before the tour started, something happened between me and Cody, and while we were in the hotel in Oregon the other day, I decided to take a test because I was feeling really dizzy, so when I took the test, it came out..... positive." I said. "Sweetie, that's amazing news to hear! Have you told Cody yet?" Mom asked. "Not yet, but I plan on announcing it, tonight at the show, and have Cody on FaceTime." I replied. "That's a great idea. Well, I hope everything goes well." Mom said. "Thanks Mom, it means a lot." I replied. "Well Mom, I have to get going now, but I'll talk to you guys soon. I love you guys." I said. "We love you too, sweetheart." Mom replied as I hung up the phone.

We all had about 1 hour to relax before it's time for the show to start. Madison was on her phone checking her social media accounts and checking emails and text messages as well. But the break seemed pretty short. After the hour went by, it was time for the show to start. I went on stage first and performed my set of songs. After I finished, it was Madison's turn, followed by Chad, Michael, and everyone else. After Madison got off the stage, I wanted to speak to her. "Hey Madison, can we talk? I have something to tell you." I said. "Yeah sure, let's go to the dressing room." Madison said as we walked to our dressing room. I sat down on a chair while Madison was cleaning up. "So, what do you need to tell me?" She asked. "So, I want to make a special announcement after everyone is finished performing their songs, and I need your help." I replied. "What's the announcement you're going to make?" She asked. "We're expecting another baby." I smiled. Madison stopped what he was doing and looked over at me. "Wait, are you serious?" She asked. "Yes. Cody and I are having another baby." I smiled. "Wow! I'm so happy for you." Madison smiled as she gave me a hug. "Ok, I'll go talk to the stage manager right now, and I'll get back to you." Madison said as she ran quickly to the stage.

------10 minutes later------

I heard Madison running down the hallway and came into our dressing room. "Ok Jenn, everything is set. Let's make our way to the stage now." Madison said as I got up and walked to the stage with her. Right as we got there, our last dancer just finished performing. Then, everyone else went on stage and Madison grabbed a microphone and ran out on stage. "How are you doing tonight, Seattle?" Madison shouted as the crowd screamed and cheered. "So, as you guys know, Jennifer here, is Cody Saintgdnue's amazing wife, and she has a very special announcement that she wants to make, so Jennifer, come on out." Madison smiled as the crowd cheered for me as I walked out with a huge smile on my face. Madison handed me the microphone and I walked over next to her. "So guys, before we end tonight's show, I wanted to make a special announcement, and I want you guys to be a witness to it." I smiled. "So, I wanted to announce that..... my husband, Cody, and I, are going to be a Daddy and Mommy, for the fourth time again. We're expecting!" I said as the crowd cheered. After the show was over, Madison took us to the hotel, and all of us dancers celebrated my new pregnancy together and enjoyed the rest of our night in Seattle.
