The Boy in the Band

On the road

(Four months later)

It was 3 in the morning when the tour bus pulled into our little cul da sac, the neighbors finally started to adjust to the circus that comes with Joe living in the neighborhood but I don't think no one expected to have a tour bus roll up in the dead of night. The crew quickly went to work loading our belongings we were taking on the road under the bus well Joey ushered me on the bus carrying a sleeping Nathan on. Management has above and beyond getting us a bus that was big enough to accommodate all three of us. We had a bedroom in the back with a queen sized bed and a crib  in it. The sitting area was big enough to be able to put Nathan's pack in play in.

I've spent the last couple months diligently pulling together multiple different outfits for the show everything from suits to Jeans to everything in between. The guys all loved did so did Jenny but tommorow at the first show would be when I find out How management felt and the fans reactions. My nerves are through the roof with the anticipation of what Jared will think and the fact I'm going to be working non stop for the next four months on the road with a six month old baby and Joe's schedule is worse than mine. My saving grace comes in the form of a small blonde with a big mouth, Jenny. She will be with Donnie for all but three weeks of the tour so I have her to help with Nathan.

It took the better part of a hour but suddenly I felt the bus lunges forward and the sound of the air breaks, this is it. I've never been on tour with Joe in the context of this two days definitely doesn't count for being on the road, and I'm the only one who has brought a baby on tour, yeah Donnie brought Evan withJenny and Elijah and Danny brought his kids but they are all older. Part of me regrets the decision to do this but the rest of me knows that's what all of us need is to be together Joey the baby and I. I laid Nathan in his crib and walked out into the sitting area sitting next to Joe.
"Hey baby what you doing"
"Looking at venues"
"Venues for what, like the tour venues?"
"No See wedding venues"
"Wedding venues??"
"We have to get planning baby, August 16th will be here before we know it."
"Joey I haven't even had time to think about it between Nathan and styling you and the guys."
"I know I haven't either but we have a entire wedding to plan and only a few months to do it."
"How we even going to do this with you on stage every night and me running around backstage like a psycho on top of us having to take care of Nathan."
"How about this every detail we get done I'll give you a screaming orgasm."

I couldn't help but giggle and shake my head,

"McIntyre your a mess"
"You love it"
"I love you"
"I love it too, what you say we call in and go in back and..."
"Joey I'm tired"
"Fine come on let's go lie down then."

We both slid from the seat and heading in back falling asleep a short time later. When I woke up we were in Illinois and Donnie and Jenny were sitting in the sitting area talking with Joe well he fed Nathan. I walked out rubbing my eyes before sitting next to Donnie who immediately pulled me into a hug,
"Morning sunshine"
"What y'all doing on our bus"
"Joey texted asked to stop on"
"About what"
"The wedding baby girl"
"Why did you bother them?"
"It's not a bother we did it not to long ago well I was on tour"
"Besides the point you got your own stuff going on."
"SeeSee I've been here I'm the Maid of Honor, Donnie is Best Man don't you think you should let us help you?"
"I don't know guys this is our responsibility"
"SeeSee let us help you, plus there going to be a lot of time when the guys are doing something we can be planning."
"Baby please let them help they are our best friends they have done it and honestly I don't know how to plan a wedding, I never thought I have to plan one."
"Fine"
"Why don't you get ready and you, me and my lil nugget will hop on our bus and get to work."
"But Joey..."
"Go have fun, take me bank card D and I will be here having shop talk."
"Ok."

I walked into the bathroom and ran the shower and slid in letting the water run over me. I was lost in my thoughts when there was a slight knock on the door before it opens,
"SeeSee"
"Yeah hey"
"Can I come in?"
"yeah what's up Jen Jen?"
