[✔️] My Angel ~ Jack Avery & Gabriela Gonzalez

~31~

Leaving both of his babies behind to go on tour for a month was very hard for Jack. He didn't want anything to happen to Gabriela or little Lavender while he was away. Of course, he trusted his family and hers to take good care of her, but he'd miss her too much.

The first city of the tour was Phoenix, Arizona, and the second was Los Angeles, so Gabbie only wished him goodbye for two days. Their first show of the 8 Letters Tour was a complete success: everyone loved the new set list.

Jack came home on the bus the next morning, and immediately rushed up to Gabbie's shared apartment and kissed her passionately upon opening the door.

"Wow, I missed you, too, babe," she said, laughing.

"Sorry, Gabs, I just really don't want to leave you," Jack replied. "It's been two days, and I'm dreading the next month."

"Me too, baby." She laced her fingers with her boyfriends, never letting go.

The Los Angeles show was the next day. Gabbie would obviously be attending, along with Christina, Tate, and Zach's new girlfriend, Kay. The girls sat in the backstage room during meet and greet, laughing and taking pictures.

"Congratulations on your pregnancy," Kay told Gabbie. This was the first time they'd met properly, so Kay was politely congratulating the curly-haired girl.

"Thank you," Gabbie said with a little giggle. "I have to wear this big jacket to cover my bump, even though it's barely there."

"Aren't you getting close though?" Christina asked.

"Little less than two months to go," Gabbie replied. She held her belly and rubbed it gently. "I just hope she doesn't kick during the show. She loves it when Jack sings."

"You're made for each other," Tate commented. "But I can't wait for baby Lavender to be born."

"Oh, her name's Lavender?" Kay raised an eyebrow.

Gabbie nodded with a grin. "Her name is Lavender May Avery. Lavender is the most delicate and precious flower, May because my due date is May 5, so she should be born then, and she's taking Jack's last name because I'm not leaving him anytime soon."

"That's so sweet," Christina cooed.

Meet and greet had finished, so the boys walked into the waiting room to say hello to their girls.

"Wow, Gabbie, had to cover the bump, I see," Zach teased, talking about her big jacket. Kay frowned and smacked his elbow.

"Yes, Zach, I don't want any limelights to know yet," Gabbie said, hooking her arm in Jack's. "As sweet as they are, they can't know yet."

"Bro, they have literally no idea," Daniel said. "This is crazy that you've hid it so well."

The merch stand was set up next to a take-away sandwich counter, conveniently near the doors to the actual seating area. A tall, dirty-blond limelight finished purchasing some merch and got in line for a sandwich with her mom.

"Mom, Jack said, 'love you' right away! Before I even said it to him!" The girl exclaimed.

"That's so sweet, I'm so glad you enjoyed it," her mom replied.

The girl held her new WDW jacket on her arm and rewatched the video that her mom had taken only minutes before. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Right when I was walking away, Zach tapped my elbow and said, 'I like your jacket!'"

"Wow, I guess you'll have to wear it next time, so he'll remember," her mom remarked.

Another dark-haired limelight in front of them in the line quickly turned around and said, "You met them?"

The taller girl nodded with a big smile.

"When?"

"Like, ten minutes ago!" She exclaimed.

"Oh that's so cool!" The girls talked for a few minutes as they waited in line for sandwiches.

"You know that Gabbie is here, right?" The shorter girl asked.

The other shook her head. She didn't have any social media, so she wouldn't know. The shorter took her phone out and showed her Gabriela's Instagram story, where the location said "Microsoft Theater."

"Kay and Tatum are here too," she continued.

"Well, you knew they would be, this is the LA show," the dirty-blonde haired girl replied.

Neither girl had any idea that Gabriela was actually holding Jack's child.
