Perfect - Book Two

Start of Ever After Part 2 Tour

I lay on my bottom bunk, rubbing my tiny baby bump and smiling like crazy at the things I'm imagining that I'll get to do with these little bundle of joys. The bunks are actually pretty comfortable but too bad Josh can't fit with me. I hear screaming and chanting fans outside the tour bus. The fans favourite time of the concert... meet the band time. Always the best time; rain or shine or fucking snow. Love you Canada but why snow? As long as you can see your favourite band and get pictures. Pictures or it didn't happen. Isn't that the saying?

I walk to the front of the bus and look out the window at the fans; A big crowd waiting for Josh, Mike, Ian and Matt. Royce sometimes too. The Trenchers notice me waving and I wave back with a warm smile. Trenchers have still not noticed the bump yet. They start chanting my name and Josh walks into the bus smiling. "Hey, first time I've heard them chanting my name..." I look out the window than back at Josh. "Can I go meet them with you?"

"Sure, but bundle up. It's gotten pretty cold out," I feel his arms wrap around me and the fans that were looking at the bus look like they are saying 'adorable' and 'beautiful couple' at us. If they can exactly see us. Probably can because it's dark, I hide my face against his chest. "Let's get moving though. I don't like making them wait too long in the cold and they get crazy if they wait too long for us."

I pull from his arms and grab my winter jacket; zipping it up and pulling a beanie over my head. The coat hides the baby bump perfectly so far. Soon I won't be able to zipper it up. I slip on my boots as Mike walks in with Emily. Mike hugs me from the side. "Hey Amelia, how's those mini Ramsay's doing? Are they pains in your ass like their father is?"

"They keep making mommy smile. I want to go meet the fans." I smile and pull Josh by his hand, out the bus door. They all scream.

I wave at the fans and we walk over to the start of the mass of people. All lined up in a horseshoe shape from each end of the bus. I stay behind Josh has he takes photos and signs autographs. A fan looks behind Josh, at me. She asks him something, and he looks back. "Come here Amelia," his hand outward for her. I grab his hand, "Hey!" I smile huge.

"Can I get a photo with you!?" a fan smiles and we pose as a friend of hers takes it, I think Ramsay photo bombed it. "Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you all!" I smile.

We continue in the line of fans. Josh's arm wrapped around my waist protectively and we stop in front of a huge group of pre-teens with cds to sign. I fall back and Josh does his thing, taking photos and signing autographs. I hear someone scream my name and I walk to her, smiling at everyone. "I heard someone call my name," I smile.

"Can I get a photo? I follow you on twitter," she asks, with pleading eyes. I pose with her and she takes a selfie style photo. I keep talking to her until Josh makes it to me. I take my hand out of my pocket to brush my hair back and my diamond ring shines in the moonlight. "YOU'RE ENGAGED JOSH?" A fan screams at the top of her lungs. "Beautiful ring!!" Another yells. I can't help but smile.

Josh pretends he didn't hear, and continues with the photos and signing crap. His hand around my waist as much as possible. I feel my coat is tight on my tummy now, and I pray a fan doesn't notice. If they don't say anything, it could end up on twitter still. A wave of nausea hits me, "I'm going back to the bus! I'm going to be sick..." I whisper in his ear and I run to the bus as fast as I can, right to the bathroom. I kneel at the toilet and my stomach heaves until I'm dry heaving. Vomiting up a great meal sadly.

I wash my mouth and curl up in Josh's bunk that's above mine, my knees against my chest. I close my eyes, and I hear the fans screaming outside. My eyes get heavy and they close unwillingly.

I hear a door slam shut and the voices of them all echo the bus. I pretend to be asleep still, facing the back of the bunk. I hear the curtain slide open and I feel Josh kiss my forehead softly.

He closes the curtain and climbs into my bunk, closing the curtain.

Morning
I wake up to the sound of the guys playing Call of Duty in the back of the bus, and I scramble through the blanket for my phone. I find it against the wall and I turn it on, going to twitter. Social media is addicting.

Too-many-to-count Mentions.

I scroll through my mentions, and a few stand out. "@JoshRamsay is engaged to @AmeliaMTaylors?!" and "Was that a baby bump that I saw last night, @AmeliaMTaylors?"

I throw my phone onto my bunk and I hear a scream of surprise. Josh stands up and looks at me, "Morning baby. What was that for though?"

"The fans... Twitter." I stand up and his arms wrap around me tight. "The first time I go out there, they notice. Like, how could they?"

"Shhh..." he runs his fingers through my bedhead. "The fans are always looking for this sort of stuff babe. Don't worry about it. Want some breakfast and a cuddle?"

I nod and he leads me to the front of the bus. I sit on the couch and he knells in front of me. His hands on my thighs and he kisses the little baby bump of the twins. I smile down at him. "You're going to be an amazing Daddy."

"You're going to be a better mommy. What would you like for breakfast? Toast? Cereal?" He stands up and leans forward giving a quick kiss.

"Surprise me," I smile, curling up on the couch and turning on the TV. I search through the guide until I find the Big Bang. A new episode. "Josh... will the fans hate me if they find out we're getting married and that we're having kids?"

He walks over with a bowl of cereal and sits next to me, "I hope they won't. They are always telling Mike and Ian to marry Emily and Kim."

"Hell, they've asked me if Mike and I are going to have a baby soon," Emily chuckles, walking into the front lounge. She grabs a bottle of water and leans against the counter. "I keep saying, 'No babies for me yet'.I'm happy with being a Step Mom right now."

"Oh wow, so they want Trench babies?" I laugh, chewing a spoonful of fruit loops. "Josh, I kind of want to just not hide the bump and wait for someone to notice honestly..."

"Your choice honey."

"Come hang with me and Mary at the concert," Emily suggests. "We usually move from Matt's side to Mike's side a couple times throughout the whole concert."

"I'd love that, where are we headed next?" I look at Josh and Emily walks back to where Mike is hanging out, playing call of duty.

"Windsor, we're almost there now." He says, and lays on the couch, moving me to be on top of him. "You still look tired. The babies making you tired?"

I nod, closing my eyes and I fall asleep there with the bowl in my hands. Of course, empty. The cereal is gone.

Emily and I change from our lazy clothes into shirts that have our boys on them, in the back lounge. I'm wearing the 'I <3 MT' shirt and Emily is wearing her, 'I fancy the bass player' sweater. Both wearing black skinny jeans. Execpt mine has a elastic waist band.

"Holy shit, who's who? You look like twins," Ian laughs as he grab his coat from the holder. "Coming into the venue? We're starting soundcheck in a minute." Ian explains.

"Yeah, my first time at side stage," I smile, pulling my cardigan over my shoulders. "I'm excited."

"You can really see the baby bump, just letting you know..." Ian smiles, "But you're glowing more now." I smile at him and we all walk out of the tour bus.
