Just Give Me One More Chance To Make It Right (Book 2)

Through With You

*Adam's pov

We came back after the show and I was never happier to realize that this secret was still a secret. I know it's sucky for her but I couldn't push anything without Tiffany's okay and now she's gone. I sighed and saw Gianna on the couch with Gabby stroking her hair softly, in a relaxing way. I could use that right now, I thought. I kissed Gianna and she looked up at me. "Ready to hit the bus?" I asked. She nodded and I carried Gabby. We got on the bus and the guys were close behind. "Give her my bed" James said. "Nah her and Gianna can have mine I'll be on the couch" I said shaking my head. "Shut up man, give her my bed and have a real conversation with your wife" he said jumping on the couch. I smiled, "thank you" I said. We took turns changing and I put Gabby in James' bunk right below mine. "Night guys, good job tonight" I said. A round of nights and you too's was passed around. We closed our curtains and I turned on my side looking at Gianna. "Hello beautiful wife" I smiled kissing her. "Hello husband" she whispered kissing me back. "How's baby Levine?" I asked resting my hand on her belly. "Okay I guess" she said, "making me tired" she shrugged. "I'm sure, you don't seem to be as active recently" I said. She nodded, "yea my mile is seriously slow! I hope I can get back to it" she said. "You will" I said. We kissed again and I deepened it holding her as close as I could. She smiled and pressed against me slipping her arms around my neck.

"Thank you Detroit you've been amazing! We love you!" I shouted and bowed with the guys running backstage, to my girls. Gabby was talking so fast when I walked in and stopped abruptly when she saw me. "That was amazing!" She said smiling brightly and jumping up and down. I laughed and kissed her head. She hugged the guys and I kissed Gianna. "I'm nervous about tomorrow" Gabby said pulling us back to the crowded room. "Don't be. My family will love you" I assured her. "What do I call them?" She asked. "We've been thinking you have a Grammy and Papa, so I thought my parents could be Nanny and Nonny and Mimi and Grampy for Gianna's parents" I suggested. "If you like, if not they can be Patsy and Fred and Rachel and Paul. It's up to you really" I said. She nodded and bit her lip, "what if they hate me?" She asked. "They won't well at least my mom and Gianna's parents won't, my dad, just ignore him" I said. She looked at me and took a deep breath, "relax Gabby it'll be okay" Gianna assured her. She bit her lip and nodded. I slipped my arm around her and Gabby, "come on let's get you in bed" I said eyeing her. "Adam I'm 10 not 5" she said. "Yea well it's 11:00 not 9:00" I said. "9:00? That's my bedtime?" She asked staring. "Yep" I said smirking. She rolled her eyes. "Adam relax she's not in school, deal with bedtimes then" Gianna said. I rolled my eyes at that one. "Fine" I sighed. "Levine if you wanna make it to New York by a decent hour and give you time to shower and relax before everyone shows up we should leave now, it's about a 9 hour ride and just over an hour flight" Shawn said. I groaned, "fine we'll fly. Get us rooms please?" I asked. He nodded and left. "Okay I guess we should get on the bus and get going toward the airport" I said. "In a rush to a panic attack?" Mickey teased. "Ha ha, very funny" I said. "Don't tease my baby" Gi said standing up for me. "What, your wife's fighting your battles now?" James asked. "Hell yea!" She laughed. We all laughed happily at that. "Come on" Shawn said coming in a few minutes later. We gathered on the bus and collected a few things for the next day and relaxed on the couch goofing off. Gabby's laugh put the biggest smile on my face.

"Gianna, I'm nervous" I heard Gabby say as I left our room of the suite. "Don't be, Patsy is a sweetheart" Gianna said. The phone rang then I picked it up not wanting to bother them. "Hello" I said. "Mr. Levine your family is here to see you" the manager said. "Perfect send them up" I said and hung up. "They're on their way up" I said walking over to them in the kitchen kissing Gabby's head and Gianna's lips. "Ooh I can't do this!" Gabby said and ran off. I went after her and Gianna stopped me, "give her a minute don't force her, let her come out on her own" she said. I nodded and pulled her close. "Am I doing the right thing? Should I just have her stay with her grandparents?" Gianna shook her head. "You need to let her decide, if she thinks this is all too much then let her go but she should choose" Gi said. I sighed and there was a knock on the door. I went to answer it happy to see my mom on the other side. "Hi baby, now why did we need to fly out here?" She asked. I love how my mom doesn't play games. "Come on in" I said chuckling. Michael, Liza, Sam, Julia and of course Dad walked in. "Spill big brother" Michael said. "I have a daughter" I spilled. "You found out the sex!" Mom yelled. "Not exactly" I said. They eyed me. "Okay so do you remember Tiffany?" I asked. Mom, Michael, and Julia nodded. "Well I sort of got her pregnant but she never told me or anyone else. She finally told our daughter and they came to find me. Tiffany was kidnapped then murdered and well, here we are" I said. "Where is she?" Julia asked. "Hiding out" I said, "she's nervous." "Very nervous" Gabby said her voice traveling from the bedroom as she opened the door. I smiled and pat the couch, "come on over" I said.

"Gabby, this is Patsy, Julia, Michael, Liza, Sam, and Fred" I said introducing them. "Everyone this is Gabby, my daughter" I said smiling. Mom moved over and sat on the couch next to us, "oh it's so nice to meet you Gabby" she said smiling, tears in her eyes. "Nice to meet you too" she said and my mom hugged her tight. "Now you" she said pulling away glaring at me. "Why didn't you tell me when you first found out?" She asked. I looked around at everyone in the room, they were all quiet. "It was stressful initially, it happened really quickly. They showed up and Tiffany was kidnapped" Gianna explained. "I didn't want anyone to know until Tiffany and I could really talk and discuss how this would work. We never got that chance so I wanted to tell you before it went public and everyone blew it out of proportion" I finished. "Wait so I'm an Aunt?" Liza asked in the lull. We laughed, "yes Liza you're an aunt" I said. "Sweet! Hi Gabby!" She grinned. "How old are you?" Sam asked. "10" she said trying to smile. "I'm only two years older than you?" He asked shocked. "We're the same age?" Liza said staring. I laughed I hadn't realized it until they mentioned it, "I guess so" I said. The kids ran off to talk and then all attention was on me. "So you're a royal screw up?" Dad said. "First you do drugs then you meet up with that druggie and then you get her pregnant, now you can't even hide it because she's dead" he said.

Gabby stomped over then looking angry and every bit like me when I was mad. "You are a horrible person. I don't know much about Adam and my moms past but you have no right to talk about my mom no matter what her past was. She was kidnapped by her ex boyfriend and he killed her. He tortured her and then killed her. And despite not knowing about me Adam and Gianna opened their hearts and home to me. He didn't abandon me like you abandoned him, Michael, and Patsy" she said. We all stared I never told her that! "Yea I've done my research, I've been really nervous about meeting all of you so I looked up what I could! You are a sorry excuse for a father, you leave one family for another and treat them like crap! I'm glad Adam didn't turn out like you!" She said. Dad was quiet, speechless really. No one talks to him like that, no one. "Who do you think you are? Defending a man that never gave a shit about you, a man you won't even call dad! And degrading me?!" He spat back. Seriously yelling at a child? "It doesn't matter what I call him! He's still a better dad than you and he does care!" She yelled back. "Gabby it's okay baby go on with Sam and Liza" I said. She was going to protest but stopped and nodded. I kissed her check and she left. "Get out!" I yelled at dad. "Don't raise your voice" he yelled. "Get out of my room now! You will not disrespect my daughter and get away with it. I don't know how your wife deals with you but I won't. I've been civil for Sam and Liza but I'm done with you!" I said harshly escorting him out. I slammed the door behind him and turned around. "Adam" I turned at the sound of Sam's voice. "Gabby's really upset" he said. I nodded and went to make her feel better.

Gianna and my family talked more about Gabby and Gianna's pregnancy, as I left the room. "Hey Gab" I said softly. "Why was he so mean?" She asked crying. "We aren't on the best terms and he seems to be taking it out on you. He should know better. I'm sorry sweetie, but I'm proud of how you stood up to him. That was a very brave thing to do" I said hugging her and kissing her head. She nodded and hugged me tight. "Everyone loves you though. The hardest part is over. My dad was the only one to worry about, everyone else is easy" I said. "Okay" she said. "I love you Gabby. Always and forever" I said. "I love you too dad" she said and I squeezed her a little tighter never wanting to let her go. "My girl" I whispered holding her.
