"we on something different." corbyn sang, ending the final song of our third tour stop.
"thank you, rhode island!" jonah called, before we all exited the stage.
i reached for my phone and went into the green room to facetime elaina. it's something i've been doing after every show. i've been away from her for a little over a week, and i'm not gonna lie, it's pretty tough. i think me and elaina are both having the same sleeping problem: we're both so used to being able to cuddle up to one another in the night, that not feeling the other's warmth and comfort is making it difficult for us to sleep. at least, that's my problem. she's been calling me every night because she can't sleep, and every one of those nights i was wide awake, not being able to sleep either.
after about four rings, elaina answered the call. she looked like she was in the passenger seat of a car.
"hey baby, how was the show?" she asked, focusing her attention to me.
"it was great." i told her, smiling. "where are you guys going?" i asked.
"we're on our way to christina's ultrasound appointment." she replied, smiling.
"how long until yours?" i asked her curiously.
"it's in two or three weeks. dr. coleman didn't really give me specific details, she just said that it was going to be in a few weeks, so i don't know." elaina explained, and i nodded. dr. coleman is the doctor that did her last checkup.
on the screen, i and could see them arriving at the hospital, so i said, "i see you've arrived, so i'll let you go. i'll talk to you later, baby." i smiled.
"bye dani, i love you."
"bye babygirl, love you too."

"okay christina, this might feel a bit cool, so just be prepared." a nurse, who looked about our age and fresh out of college, told christina, as she was putting the ultrasound gel on christina's stomach. i saw christina wince the slightest bit at the cold gel, but it looked like it wasn't that bad.
the nurse took the ultrasound tool and started to rub the gel around christina's stomach. suddenly, on the monitor, you could hear the very faintest heartbeat, causing christina to smile. i pulled out my phone and took a video of the small fetus on the screen of the monitor and the sounds coming off of it.
"well christina, you have a very healthy baby. it has quite a strong heartbeat for being only nine and a half weeks conceived," the nurse smiled. "would you like pictures printed?"
"yes, please." christina replied, and i turned off the video and sent it to corbyn.
corbyn immediately facetimed me and i quickly asked the nurse if the father of the baby could be on a call, and the nurse gave me permission, so i accepted the call.
"hey corbyn!" i said, turning the camera around and showing him christina laying down on the ultrasound table.
corbyn covered his hands over his mouth and smiled widely.
"you see that small figure in her stomach?" the nurse asked, "that's the baby."
corbyn's hands were still covering his mouth and a small happy tear fell from his eye and he smiled even wider.
"is the baby healthy?" corbyn asked.
i handed the phone over to the nurse so she could talk to corbyn.
as the nurse was explaining all the details she already told us, i turned to christina and smiled.
"you know, this is going to be you in, like, two weeks. so be ready, bitch." she said, giggling.
"you know i am." i replied, giggling along with her.
the nurse handed me my phone back and corbyn had the other boys on the screen, including daniel.
"do they want to see it?" i asked him, and he nodded eagerly.
i turned the camera over and showed them the ultrasound, causing them to smile widely, and corbyn to smile even wider.
"daniel, bro, be ready to be seeing the same thing with your baby in a few weeks." jack said, elbowing daniel, who blushed at the comment and smiled to himself.
"okay, well we have to pack up and get ready to go. we'll talk to you later, guys!" i told them cheerfully.
"bye!" they all said, and i answered the call.
"so what's the reason the father can't be here?" the nurse asked, taking off her gloves. "if it's not a personal reason or anything."
"oh no, it's not personal." christina said, as she was finishing wiping off the gel on her stomach. "my husband and her boyfriend are in a band called why don't we. we actually met through them and we became best friends. they're going on a world tour right now." she explained.
"no wonder they looked so familiar." the nurse laughed. "my niece loves them. i remember her fangirling and screaming in her room when she found out you guys got married. i think your husband is her favorite."
"how funny." christina giggled. "i actually have a piece of their signed merchandise at my house. if you want, i could bring it with us for her ultrasound appointment in two weeks and i could give it to you to give to your niece." christina offered, referring to my appointment.
"oh my gosh, she would love that. thank you." the nurse smiled. "my name is aurora, by the way."
"you already know this, but i'm christina and that's elaina." christina told her, and aurora sent her a heart-warming smile.
"well, you guys better get going. have a good rest of the day." aurora smiled, and we went out the door.
"that was successful." christina laughed.
"it sure was."
