Sorry fir the delay I've been busy
*Anubis POV *
A few days had passed since the whole... dad incident. I hadn't seen him after that, and I had played with the guys but we hadn't talked at all. It was just awkward silence, gestures, and looks nothing more nothing less.
I tried paying no mind to it but it had bothered me. And on top of that Eva was more... rude about everything something was off about her but I couldn't figure it out. Nobody had figured out that I was pregnant, which in a way was sort of a good thing but it was also a bad thing. I was just insure of telling everyone just yet, I wanted to wait for the right moment and now was obviously not the time. I didn't even know where Ashley was, I was to busy being curled up in a ball, staring out the window. I only moved when we needed to perform, I know it was a pathetic and cowards way but I didn't know if I could face them. But when Ashley left, Juniper had usually watched to keep an eye on me.
Juniper and Ashley had tried to get me out and go places but I just wasn't feeling it, no matter how hard they tried I didn't move. I had never felt this down before.
But today was different, I didn't know why but it felt like it. That's when I heard a knock on the door and someone clear their throat
"Anubis" Jinxx said quietly, almost as if he were afraid to wake some up. My heart raced in my chest but I couldn't say anything, mainly finding the words to say
"Come on. Please get up, none of us like seeing you like this" CC added
"Look... we're sorry" Jake said "all of us are, Alex and Aries too. We didn't mean to make you feel like this"
"We should have been more caring and supportive, we should have just understood and not start flipping out. We were just shocked at the fact that you didn't tell us because you had never hid anything from us but now we see that it was for a good reason. Juniper and Ashley were right... we should have just trusted your judgment especially because you've never done anything to hurt us before and you sure as hell didn't want to hurt anyone else either" Andy said
"No one hates you, we all love and care for you. We're family. You aren't weak you're amazingly strong and you aren't a fuck up, everyone has moments and issues that they have to deal with" Jinxx added
"Please come on out, we all miss your company... I miss my pranking buddy" CC said. But I hadn't budged. I heard shuffling before someone had grabbed my arm and slightly shook me. I glanced up to see Ashley.
"Come on baby girl, we have to get ready we go on in a few minutes" Ashley said gently. I barely nodded my head before I got up and grabbed my clothes and make up before walking into the bathroom and shutting the door behind me. I pulled on a black bra with a black mesh shirt to go over it, black shorts with a few rips in them, a dark gray beanie, knee high suede heels, and the baby girl collar. I added black lipstick after I had fixed my outfit before walking back out. The guys had been standing there just sort of looking at me as I grabbed Ashley's hand and walked off the bus, grabbing my guitar and Ashley already had his bass at the stage.
"You know you cant hide forever right baby girl? At one point you are going to have to talk to them, you can't avoid it" I knew he was right, but I just didn't know how I was still scared, despite their not being a reason "when are you going to talk again baby? I miss the sound of your voice and the conversations that we have, you're starting to worry me"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to vorry you..." I said sadly " I just can't help it, I don't feel like I'm someb-"
"How many times do I have to tell you, you will always be a somebody to me, a very important somebody. I don't care what you do or how you feel as long as your happy with yourself. I just don't want to watch you suffer"
"I know, but I can't help but feel like that. Its just how I am"
"You know you can talk to me about anything, it is what I'm here for after all" Ashley said soothingly as he pulled me to his side
"I missed talking to you too" I admitted, biting the inside of my mouth " it was hard not talking to you"
"Glad I'm not the only one who thought that"
"Funny" I said as I smiled a bit at his joke
"Just curious, what did you think about?" He asked
"Oddly enough, I didn't think about anything. My mind vas completely blank" I answered. It was, the week and a half days I hadn't thought of anything. For the first time my mind had been completely blank. I didn't reflect on my life, I didn't think of the future or the past, I was dull.
"That is a bit odd" Ashley said, almost a whisper as we made our way to the shark stage. People had wandered around us in a hurry, all sweaty and excited running around like mad men trying to get to stages.
"I have an appointment vith Dr. May at nine tomorrow morning" I said. Remembering one of the voicemails I had gotten from her a few days ago
"Then I'm going with you" he stated. I looked at him
"Ash, you guys have to perform. Its fine," I said. He just looked at me
"Anubis, its one day that the guys can go on without me. You and those beautiful kids are more important to me right now then anything, their is no way in hell that I am not going to be there with you" Ashley said
"I just didn't want you to miss anything..." I said sheepishly.
"Its not anything that is as special as you" he said. I blushed. Just then Izekil ran up as we got to the stage.
"Their you guys are. I was beginning to think that I showed up way to early and made a fool out of myself" he said, a bit quickly
"Vell I always say its better to show up early then on time." I said as we climbed up the steps. People had been working frantically and watching the people who were currently performing. Just then Juniper walked up, she was joining us for our new song together.
"Its nice to see you out instead of in bed, even if it is to perform" Juniper said. The crowd cheered as the band currently on stage finished with their set.
"I could always go back" I said jokingly
"Noooo. No I will not let my baby girl go back. I missed her to much" Ashley said as he clung to me, causing all of us to laugh
"Vell I'm not going back for a vhile, unless I have to, like sleep because that's important" I said. Ashley just rolled his eyes
"That's different" he defended
"Oh really, how so?" I asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"I'm sleeping next to you, duh" Ashley replied with a grin in his face. I laughed before he kissed me and I kissed back as Juniper awed. Suddenly our kiss was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Breaking the kiss and looking up, a girl stood there and looked at us as she held Ashley's bass
"You guys are on" she said. I nodded as Ashley took his bass and we walked on stage, the crowd cheering wildly before Ashley and I reached our mics. Izekil got to the drum set
"Hey guys, how have you been?" Ashley asked into the mic as I adjusted my guitar. The crowd only cheered louder
"Are you ready to rock?" I called out, which only made them scream louder and I laughed "vonderful, it really is. But before ve begin their is something you all should know, because you're our fans and It vouldn't be right if ve didn't tell our family vhat vas happening. As most of you guys have noticed I gained some veight and just looked sick... vell, our Holy Sin family is getting two new members in about eight or so months"
That's when everyone began screaming louder, shouting you're pregnant into the air that mixed in with some of the boos of hurt, over obsessed fans. That was a little bit though.
"We're excited that our family is growing, and we're glad that our kids will be surrounded by an amazing fan base" Ashley said "after all, you guys keep us going and encourage us to do better" I looked at Ashley and smiled before I kissed his cheek
"Now, I think ve're going to start off vith our new song. Its called Through the ages vith the one and only, and most talented girl I know, Juniper Johnson from set in stone" I said grinning. The crowd cheered as I looked over at Juniper who walked on stage with a mic, smiling
"Great intro" she said, with a little bit of sass. Everyone laughed before we played the first note
"Why can't you see (why can't you see)
What you've done to me (what you've done to me)
Its bringing me down, burning me, drowning me
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm being torn from the inside out " Ashley and I sang, before playing a small solo and me continuing on
"This happens time and time again, over like clockwork
And I keep falling for your tricks, the game in your eyes
Will I ever stop falling?
It's time for me to walk away, but I don't know if I can
I wish that it wasn't this hard to let you go " I sang before Ashley jumped back in
" Why can't you see (why can't you see)
What you've done to me (what you've done to me)
Its bringing me down, burning me, drowning me
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm being torn from the inside out "
"I've seen it through the years, you're so predictable
And I'm finally glad that I moved on
I'm better of without you, but I still miss your touch
I hate this feeling that you give me, the confusion it brings
Why I'm still feeling stuck, I don't know
But its burning me (burning me) drowning me (drowning me) " we sang. Then Juniper jumped in
" Why can't you see (why can't you see)
What you've done to me (what you've done to me)
Its bringing me down, burning me, drowning me
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm being torn from the inside out " Ashley and I played as Juniper continued, head banging as we did
"Because through the ages, through the time
I've seen all the tricks and games you play
You'd think I'd be smart enough to let you go
But I still cling to you, you're my life support
I still yearn for your touch, through all the years " juniper sang sweetly before ash and I jumped in
" Why can't you see (why can't you see)
What you've done to me (what you've done to me)
Its bringing me down, burning me, drowning me
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm being torn from the inside out " juniper and Ashley stopped as I continued on
"Why can't you just leave me alone, stop the torment
A lot of time has passed and more will come
Just please move on m, end my suffering I am not a toy
I trusted you and you betrayed me, just leave
I don't want the pain of memories, they draw me to you they're drowning me
The feeling burns and I just want this gone
Please end this misery " ash and juniper jumped in again
" Why can't you see (why can't you see)
What you've done to me (what you've done to me)
Its bringing me down, burning me, drowning me
I don't know how much more I can take
I'm being torn from the inside out " and with that we stopped playing, all of us catching our breaths as we did. That song had made my heart skip om beats, it was one of my favorites. The crowd went mad and already I could see a mosh pit forming. I just glanced at Ashley before we continued on with the one and a half hour shoe, dancing, jumping, singing and head banging along with a feeling talk in there, we were exhausted. Well I was anyways and I stayed as well for the signing.
We talked to some of the fans and some even wished us luck on parent hood or told us what we could accomplish for Holy Sin and Black Veil Brides with the babies. They were all so energetic about it which had made me happy. Juniper had left a while ago to go take a nap while Izekil had run off to see some other bands perform. After we were done signing and taking pictures, Ashley and I walked around before leaving the grounds to go get something to eat for lunch.
"So what do you want today?" Ashley asked. I shrugged
"I don't care, I could go for anything right now" I answered
"Thanks, that helps so much" Ashley said playfully. I playfully pushed him back and giggled a little "I am offended"
"That's not the vorst I can do" I said in a sing song voice.
"Oh I know it isn't. Like I said its just to easy to fool around with you, easy prey"
"Vell you're the only person I make it easy for" I pointed out as we walked along one of the sidewalks, next to the busy highway. Signs for stores and cafes hung along the sides for people to stop and take a look around or just relax. I even saw a vets office. Before we even made it to the cross walk I heard a noise, which sounded like a bird, coming from the small alleyway. I stopped and walked back over
"What are you doing?" Ashley asked.
"You didn't hear that?" I asked as I began looking around.
"Hear what?"
'That bird " I stated. Then I saw it. A raven had been on the ground, its foot trapped in a rat trap and my heart broke. Carefully I went to grab the bird. It sort of looked at me and flapped its wings, cawing " hey don't be scared little guy, I'm going to help you get your foot from the trap "
I picked the raven up, feeling the Black silky feathers on my skin. The raven didn't make a sound as I held it close to me and carefully took the mouse trap off of it. I looked at Ashley
"Ve have to take care of it, its foot is hurt" I said. Ashley sighed
"If you can keep it from the guys and make sure that it doesn't make a mess, then you can take care of it" the said, offering a small smile. I beamed and kissed him before sitting on the bench in front of the restaurant, well more like Cafe, seeing I wasn't going to be allowed inside because of the raven. Ashley went in to go get us something to eat as I gently stroked the ravens head. It didn't even flinch or caw, it was like it was content "such a beautiful bird, vhat should I call you for the time being?"
The raven just looked at me and blinked, when a light bulb sort of clicked.
"How about Herrin der Nacht. I know it isn't really a name, but it suits you" I said. As I waited I decided to go to the pet store and grab a few things for Herrin, hiding her was going to be the tricky part but I did have a few ideas in my head. I had made it back just as Ashley walked out with a few bags, he had looked absolutely mortified.
"I am never going in there again" he said as he shuddered
"Vhat happened?" I asked
"The guy at the counter was a bit to friendly and made a scene."
"Ohhhhhhh" I said "I always miss the fun stuff"
"That was not fun and what do you mean by miss it?" Ashley asked
"I vent to the pet store across the street and got Herrin some stuff" I answered
"Its name is Herrin?" Ashley asked as he looked at me. I nodded and held Herrin up
"She's adorable. And her full name is Herrin der Nacht"
"Mistress of the night? That sounds more like a statement"
"I know but I couldn't think of anything. It vas the best I could come up vith" I said "do you not like it?"
"No I love it, its great. Just a mouthful to say" Ashley pointed out as we began walking
"That isn't even a mouthful, you've said much more that is" I defend, laughing as I did. Ashley just grinned
"Oh I remember that very well" he whispered lowly as I blushed like crazy. It was true that he said a not but it was always when he was feeling really horny. "I did it again" he said in victory ad he threw his arms in the air, before wrapping one arm around my waist and pulling me close, kissing my temple
"Damn you and all your kin" I said jokingly
"Well you are carrying my kin soooo that means you would be there too" he pointed out
"I vill always be there. No matter vhere you go, I'm by your side" I said. All the sudden i felt somebody watching me "do you feel that?" I asked quietly
"Like we're being watched? Yes I do, but keep walking. Trust me, your dad told me what to do" Ashley whispered back. My heart raced but I did what Ashley said as he tried to take my mind off of it. After what seemed like hours we finally made it to the bus and I felt a bit relieved.
I put Herrin der Nacht in her cage carefully, with food and water before putting the cage next to the window and putting pillows and blankets around it to hide the cage before leaving and shutting the door behind me and ate
