Bottoms Up

Mom

-Dani's POV-
It was a week since I've had sex. Brantley noticed I was acting weird and I didn't want to tell him.
The tour was nearly over, only 6 more shows. I loved being backstage and just listening to him sing. His voice was like sex with pizza.
I was backstage with Caroline and she was the second one to know, Mel of course was first. "Did you do Plan B...?" She said and I shook my head. "Did you take the test yet?" And again I shook my head no.. "I'm way too scared.." I admitted. I was 28, with a boyfriend on the go constantly, and no job. Caroline and I went out to the nearest store and grabbed 3 tests. After an hour of waiting and peeing on sticks, the results were in.
"This one is positive..." Caroline held the stick up to me.
"This one is positive.." She said looking at the stick.
"This one is...uh.. I can't make it out.." She said and I heard the door open.
"Positive.." I looked up and saw Luke in the door.
"Caroline..? Tell me there hers." He said with shock in his eyes.
"Yup.. She's got a bun in the oven.."
Godammit Caroline, now he's gunna tell Brantley.
"Let me go get Brant-" Luke turned around and headed to the dressing rooms.
"NO!" I screamed and Luke jumped with fear.
"No I can't tell him just yet.." I bit my nails with nervousness running through my body. What was I going to do? How was I going to tell him?
The show ended at 11:05 pm and Brantley came onto the tour bus with a huge smile on his face. "Baby.. I have a question.." He said and everyone gathered around us.
He got down on one knee and pulled out a small box. When he opened the box, I nearly fainted. The ring was beautiful. It was so simple, yet, perfect. I nodded in excitement, and kissed him. He slipped the ring on my finger and hugged me tightly. Everyone clapped and cheered happily, and I pulled Brantley aside.
"Baby, I have to tell you something.."
I opened my mouth and Ben walked out of the bathroom with the tests in hand. "Uh... What are these?" He held them up in the air and my eyes widened. I nearly tackle Ben and grabbed the tests.
Brantley's expression was priceless. His eyes were wide and his mouth was dropped open. "I-You..-baby-" he pointed to my stomach and I nodded. And... That's when Brantley passed out.
When he finally woke up, he looked at me and mouthed the words,"you're pregnant?".
I smiled and kissed his forehead. "Yes baby, your baby, is having a baby." I smiled and a huge smile quickly formed on his face. "Oh my God. I can't believe it.."
We talked the entire night, about what we should name the baby depending on its gender.
I agreed on Aaron Chase for a boy. And for a girl, Brantley loved the name Bailey Adeline, in honor of my goddaughter.
Skipping a few weeks ahead to a new tour, I was at the Jason Aldean concert backstage and I felt a little strange. Brantley didn't go on stage yet and was talking to everyone, so I snuck of to the bathroom, to find, blood.
I got my period. I felt sick. I was shaking uncontrollably. No..no no
The baby... It's gone..
I started to cry and I cleaned myself up. I washed my hands and looked in the mirror. I felt like smashing the mirror but I opened the door.
"Brantley! Brantley!" I called with my voice cracking.
Brantley came over to be with a smile, which faded quickly when he saw my tears.
"I...I got my period. The baby.." I felt myself starting to get woozy. Brantley held me in his arms and kissed me. "It's okay honey, its okay." He rubbed my back, and I looked up to see he was crying too.
He sang that night and announced the engagement. The crowd went insane. I smiled with tears in my eyes. I texted Caroline and Mel letting them know I was okay, cause I told them about the baby. They sent there condolences. Brantley came backstage and kissed me on the forehead. "How are you doing sweetheart?" He looked me directly in the eyes every time. I smiled and felt peace for some reason..
Maybe my baby was up there with Adeline, Ma and Papa, and Nick. I know they'll take care of the baby.
Later that night, I heard the song "Mom" by Garth Brooks. I never cried harder. It broke my heart because at one point that was my baby. But now, he's resting with God.
And the peace, finally set in.
