I knew Blake would show up at the concert, but I had no idea he would show up at the party. I don't know how he found out where it was because only a small amount of people knew. Regardless, he got the point. I told Harley when we were on our way home that he showed up, wanting to know about the baby. She could have cared less and that made me happy. She was completely worn out and had been going on adrenaline by the time we arrived home that night around three in the morning.
The next morning she woke up happy and carefree because the concert was over with and so was I. We could finally start the next chapter of our lives together, the part where I was the hot, famous husband and she was my hot, beautiful pregnant wife who was going to give birth to the most hot, beautiful baby girl ever to grace the world. That's a lot of hot, but you get the idea.
While Harley's career was on hold now, mine was heating up again. Even though I had to go to Germany for two weeks at the beginning of May, I still had work to do in April. We ended up flying to Los Angeles three days after her concert because the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block were set to perform on "Dancing with the Stars." Our single was already out and our album would be coming out in May. And we had to rehearse singing "Don't Turn Out the Lights" live for the first time.
Harley was like a giddy school girl. Then again, last time she saw me perform with New Kids on the Block, we made a baby, so maybe her being giddy wasn't a bad thing. Maybe she could get that giddy again. I wouldn't mind.

[April 26, 2011]
Harley sat in a chair, off to the side on the "Dancing with the Stars" soundstage, watching the guys rehearse their performance. She would take pictures or a video every so often, posting them on Nick's twitter to keep the fans updated even though it pissed their manager off. Nick didn't care. He wanted her to do it.
For some reason, seeing her husband perform with the group that she grew up loving, especially her first celebrity crush Joey McIntyre, did something to Harley and she wasn't exactly sure what it was. She knew it turned her on, but at that point in her pregnancy, everything turned her on. The night before, Nick fell asleep with her on top of him because she had worn him out. Of course, he was tired from rehearsing all that day, but still, she thought it was hilarious.
Who would have thought that Nick Carter would fall asleep during sex?
"Let me see that tummy!" Donnie Wahlberg yelled in between breaks as he walked up to Harley, rubbing her stomach. "Is the baby kicking a lot?"
"All the time now," Harley smiled. There was the six-year-old girl inside of her that wanted to squeal because Donnie was rubbing her stomach. "And I think she's starting to recognize Nick's voice because if she's quiet and still and he starts talking, especially if he's singing, she starts to kick."
"That's how my last son was," Donnie said. "Any names yet?"
"Nope, we're still deciding," she smiled. "We have some that we kind of like, but we're not sure about."
"You tryin' to steal my wife away?" Nick asked, walking up to Donnie and Harley. "Besides, I think her heart belongs to Joey."
"But Donnie was always my second favorite," she said as Donnie grinned. "Something about the babies of the group and the bad boys that just draw me in."
"I heard bad boy mentioned?" AJ asked, walking over to sit down next to Harley. He rubbed her stomach, patting it slightly and took a sip of his bottled water.
"Nothing about bad boys," Harley grinned as Donnie walked over to talk to Howie and Jordan about something. "So, I don't know if now is a good time or not," she said, looking at Nick who shrugged. "But I mean, I feel like doing it now."
"Doing it? Right here?" AJ asked as Harley rolled her eyes.
"Asking you something," Harley said as Nick cracked up laughing.
"Hold on, I got to get this on video," he said as he took his iPhone from Harley and began filming her and AJ. "Now, go."
"Asking me what?" AJ asked, staring at her.
"You've always been there for Nick and I throughout like our entire relationship," she said as AJ nodded. "Nick told me about you two going shopping the day he bought me my charm bracelet and how you were the one that kind of made him realize he loved me."
"I do remember that day," AJ smiled.
"And you've been there for me a lot, especially lately with finding out I was pregnant and going to the doctor with me," she said, rubbing her hands over her stomach. "So, Nick and I were wondering if you would be our baby's Godfather." AJ stared at her and smiled.
"Really?"
"Really," Harley said as AJ reached over to hug her. "We thought you were the perfect choice."
"Awww, Nick," AJ said in a gayish tone as he walked over, hugging Nick tightly. "Can I be called Daddy AJ?"
"Uncle AJ," Nick said as AJ glared at his phone. "Uncle AJ."
"Godfather AJ."
"Uncle AJ," Harley and Nick said at the same time.
"Alright, alright," AJ sighed, sitting back down next to Harley. "But you know this only means this kid is going to be spoiled even more than what she will be anyway, right? I'm getting her a pony for her first birthday. You have the land now, build a fence a head of time. I'm buying her a pony."
"No pony," Harley said as AJ kissed her on the cheek and started to walk off, taking his cigarettes out of his pocket. "Maybe that was a mistake."
"He'll be great," Nick said, putting his phone back in his pocket. "So, you like the performance?" Harley nodded as Nick sat down beside her and she leaned against him. "It's made you horny again, hasn't it?"
"I don't know what it is about you guys and New Kids on the Block that gets to me," Harley whispered as Nick cracked up laughing. "I know there's no time now because you guys have to start getting ready for the show here in a few but on the plane home tonight..."
"We do have a private jet that's taking us home," he whispered as she grinned. "I'm sure after the real performance, you'll be even more ready. I don't remember you being this bad last time. Maybe it's because of how our relationship was, but..."
"I don't think I was this bad either," she said, leaning over to kiss his lips. "Just too bad you're sharing a dressing room with three other guys, or I would take you right now." Nick muttered something against her lips as he kissed her again when he heard someone clearing their throat. They looked over, seeing Brian with his arms crossed against his chest and a shit-eating grin on his face.
"I know," Nick sighed, kissing Harley quickly on the lips again. "Come back in a few and we'll already be dressed." Harley nodded, watching Nick as he walked over to Brian who kept wanting to laugh at him. "What?" Nick asked.
"You two really are doing a lot better, aren't you?" Brian asked as Nick smiled. "I'm glad, buddy. Sometimes it just takes being a part to realize what it is that you really want."
"I think that's what had to happen with us," Nick said as he nodded. "We're just fine now. Better than fine."
