Chapter 27 Stick

Andy's pov

"Ash! CC! Jake! Jinxx!" Lenny yells as they walk into the airport terminal. She runs up and hugs each of them in turn, making them all laugh.

Ashley picks her up and spins her around then kisses her full on the mouth. "I've missed you, you ass hole!" He laughs. "You left me all alone with these idiots."

"You're the idiot here," CC laughs, hugging her from behind. "You left me alone with him!"

She kisses his cheek, grinning. "And I'm so sorry about that. I just had to.. Get away."

"Sure you did," Ashley laughs and grabs Lenny by the waist, tossing her over his shoulder. "And now that we've found you, you're not getting away again."

She giggles as he sets her down in front of me. She nearly falls over but I catch her and set her, carefully, back on her feet.

"Be careful with her," I laugh. "She breaks easily," She punches my arm forcefully and I yelp. "What the fuck was that for?"

"I am not delicate," she replies. "Just clumsy."

"Ooh!" Jake and Jinxx laugh as they walk up.

She laughs, waving them off. "Let's go. We have rehearsal in a few hours," She grabs my hand and pulls me towards the exit. I look over my shoulder to see the guys grinning at me.

We catch a cab to the Sheraton in Time Square where the guys are staying so they can check in then to my apartment. Lenny goes to use the bathroom and the guys start slapping my shoulders and congratulating me.

"Dude! Are you back guys together?" CC asks.

"More importantly," Ashley laughs. "Are you two doing it?"

"No," I laugh. "She's just more comfortable around me than before."

"So just hand holding?" Jake asks.

"Yeah," I answer. "Working towards better things though," I wiggle my eyebrows.

"What are you working towards?" Lenny raises her eyebrows. She must have overheard at least some of the conversation.

I blush.

"That's what I thought," she grins roguishly at me.

The guys pepper Lenny with questions about her life since she left. She answers dutifully but evasively, telling them the barest details. She's looked a little sick the last few weeks and I think I heard her throwing up a few days ago. I hope she gets better before the Halloween party in a few days. I'm going to ask her to be my date but I haven't found the courage to do so yet.

"Alright boys," she laughs, "Rehearsal starts in an hour and traffic is awful. Lets get moving."

We catch a cab and we all pile in the back, Lenny and CC getting pushed on top of everybody. CC sprawls on top of Ashley and Lenny slides into my lap. Ash looks over at me and winks, grinning and pinching CC's ass.

"What the fuck!" CC yells, smacking Ash.

"Oh nothing," Ash laughs and smacks CC back.

"Stop it you two," Lenny says and smacks them both.

"Yes mom," they reply in unison and we all laugh.

We pull up to the curb and I insist on paying the cab fare. Lenny links arms with me and Ashley and we all walk into the studio.

Jason almost faints when the whole band walks in on Lenny's arm. He met us briefly when he asked to do the show and we were around a bit to see the creative process behind the show and then to see the show on its opening night but the original director had her twins and decided she needed to focus on her children. Jason is a friend of hers and a fan of ours and she got him the job. He hasn't met all of us since the opening night.

"Boys, this is Jason, the director of this wonderful show. Jason these are Ashley Purdy, Jake Pitts, Christian Coma and Jeremy Ferguson. You already know Andy," Lenny grins at me. "The members of Black Veil Brides and my dear friends."

Jason jumps up and begins shaking hands enthusiastically. Lenny excuses herself to use the bathroom and I continue the introductions.

Lennon's pov

I hurry to the bathroom, running as I get closer. I fling open the door and run into a stall. I've been throwing up for about a week and it's awful, so I drank a gallon of water and bought a pregnancy test. I've had scares before but never a real deal pregnancy. I throw up, pee on the stick and wait the specific amount of time and then look at the stick. Then I throw up again.

I'm pregnant. Fuck.
