Part 30

A/N: There's only 2 chapters remaining after this one. There may be a sequel down the road :)

Adam was pacing the bus once again. Tim just chuckled at the stressed-out beatboxer. Austin was making breakfast for everyone while Nate made himself a cup of coffee. Adam was getting worried. Shouldn't they have told him something by now about her being released? What if something went wrong? Olena boarded the bus with a bouquet of red and white roses. Austin smiled at his girlfriend.

"Aww, baby, you didn't have to get me flowers!" Austin chuckled

"These aren't for you!" Olena said, raising her eyebrow, "They're for Adrielle!"

"I haven't even heard if she's going to be released or not." Adam stated

"Have faith, Adam. Everything was looking good last night. I'm sure if there was any problems, someone would have texted you. Just relax. She'll be home soon." Olena stated, sitting the bouquet and its vase on the coffee table

The beatboxer sighed before plopping down on the couch. Tim just smiled at his friend. He began questioning how he felt about Jenika. Being in love was one thing. He thought he loved her. Seeing Adam so worked up about Adrielle made him wonder about his own relationship. Jenika wasn't on tour with them anymore and he wasn't this worked up about it. They'd postponed their wedding. Was she having second thoughts? Before he could delve into his thoughts, Adam's phone rang out the "Star Wars" theme. Chance laughed as he boarded the bus, still in his pajamas, and then found a seat next to Nate.

Adrielle had sent him a photo of her, Donna, Chris, Tristin, and his parents having breakfast together with the caption: "You have such a sweet family!"

He smiled as he began typing a reply.

"I guess that means you've been discharged from the hospital? How did you meet my parents and sister? When will you be home? I miss you so much! Tell everyone I love them!"

"I'm sure Adam is absolutely freaking out by now that he hasn't heard whether or not Adrielle's been released!" Chris chuckled after Adrielle had texted the photo she'd taken of their group

Her phone dinged with a new text. Upon reading it, she giggled. Before replying, she showed it to everyone at the table. Chris laughed knowing his brother really was just freaking out.

"Yes, I've finally been discharged. Chris took mom to your parents' house to get some actual rest last night. They all showed up together this morning. I think we'll be hitting the road to catch up to you guys after breakfast. I miss you so much too! You do have a really sweet family, I'm glad I got to meet your parents and sister 😊"

Adam relayed what his wife had told him to the rest of the group. Olena stated that he could relax now, knowing she's be "home" soon. It was a few hours' drive from Mankato, but they should be here by this evening.

"I can't wait to see you! It's just not the same without you here with me. How are you feeling today? Do you need anything?"

She saw his text and smiled. Donna asked her why she was smiling so big, so Adrielle showed the text to everyone.

"That's my son. Always so caring and thoughtful." Cindy stated with a smile before looking over at Chris, "Both my boys are, really."

"There's a little pain but it's not bad. All I need is to see you :)" Adrielle texted back

"You have amazing children. Chris certainly didn't have to drive down to pick us up and bring us to Mankato, but he did. I'll have to figure out how to repay him for his kindness." Donna smiled warmly at the bald man
