Three months later

March 11, 2011(btw, this is the day of the Japanese tsunami)

Justine's POV

"She's kicking the hell out of me." I say as I sit down on the couch beside him and he looks up from his notepad with the new song hes been writing and chuckles.

"Is she now?" He asks as he places his hand on my stomach and she kicks in response, earning a groan from me.

"Hey calm down in there honey pie, you're hurting mommy." Chad says to the baby and she settles down.

Within the last three months, she has managed to break four ribs with all the kicking she does inside of me.

"She is strong as hell, I say that." I say and Chad chuckles as he hands me the notepad to read the song he was writing for their new album, Here and Now, which will be released in November sometime.

"And if forever never comes tonight
And if forever never comes tonight
And if forever never comes tonight
I'll hold on, hold on

I keep listening to my chest for a beat, but there's nothing left
It's been a week since I've seen you, and I still can't believe it
'Cause I'm dying inside alone

And in every dream we gotta be apart
I'm like a baby with a broken heart
But the second that I see you
You will know how much I need you
Because I'll never be letting you go

I'm lost without you
And there's nothing I can do
Your the one that I can't go without
And by holding onto you, then I'll be holding on forever

I've got you now and I'm not letting go of you
Never been together long enough
Because every moment I'm with you, it's like I'm holding onto heaven." I read and he smiles as his hands rest on the baby.

Suddenly the news guy begins to talk about something that's happening in Japan.

"Oh my god." I say as Chad and I stare at the TV in shock.

That's when the paper where I was writing a song because of what was going on in Libya not too long ago, falls out and Chad picks it up and reads the lyrics quietly.

"One more depending on a prayer
And we all look away
People pretending everywhere
It's just another day
There's bullets flying through the air
And they still carry on
We watch it happen over there
And then just turn it off

We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's no getting even
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win

They tell us every thing's alright
And we just go along
How can we fall asleep at night
When something's clearly wrong
When we could feed a starving world
With what we throw away
But all we serve are empty words
That always taste the same

We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's no getting even
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win

The right thing to guide us
Is right here, inside us
No one can divide us
When the light is leading on
But just like a heartbeat
The drumbeat carries on

And the drumbeat carries on
(Just like a heartbeat)

We must stand together
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There's no getting even
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Hand in hand forever
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's when we all win
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's, that's, that's when we all win
That's, that's, that's when we all win." I blush when he looks over at me and he nods as he sets the paper down and kisses me gently.

"That is so going on the album." He says as he kisses me again and our daughter kicks me harshly in the stomach.

"I swear I think she broke another rib." I say and he laughs as he helps me up and we go get something to eat.
