Chapter 12

(Jennifer)

*3 months later*

I climb out of bed and walk to the kitchen. I get a bottle of water out of the fridge and take a drink, carrying it with me to the couch. We're doing an interview tonight, mostly just to diffuse all our breakup rumors, but also because we didn't want to disappoint the host after she invited us. I turn on the tv and look for something to watch.

I look up when I hear Nick's footsteps behind the couch and I see that he's dressed. "Good morning." I move all my empty snack wrappers to the table. "Good morning, are you feeling okay?" He sits down next to me and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. "Yeah, I'm just nervous about the interview tonight." I say, frowning. "I can see that." He looks over at the empty snack wrappers in front of me. "Are you sure you're gonna be okay?" He picks up my hand from where it was resting on my lap and intertwines our fingers. It calms me down to have him touching me. "Yeah I'll be fine." I assure him.

I put on my dress, after they finish my hair and makeup. My hair is down and curly, like I usually have it. I find Nick in his dressing room and immediately wrap my arms around him.

We sit down with our interviewer, I forgot to ask her name. "There's been a lot of breakup rumors lately and obviously they're not true since the both of you are here, right?" She looks at Nick. He smiles and moves closer to me. "Right." I smile. The interviewer awe's, clearly entertained by our public display of affection. "So, what have you two being doing lately?" She asks. "We visited my family." I start to get nervous again. "We went to Paris." Nick takes my hand and moves it along my waist. "That's romantic, did you two do anything else exciting?" She glances down at our fingers. "Not really. We've been relaxing since it's been awhile since our last break." Nick saves me from having to answer.

I follow Nick into his dressing room and shut the door behind me. "Nick, what the hell were you thinking putting your hand on me like that? What if people start finding out I'm pregnant!" I scream, unable to control my anger. "I'm sorry. I was just trying to calm you down!" He says, in a quieter tone than me. I take a deep breath. "Nick, that could be really bad if they find out. They'd never leave us alone." The anger fades away and is replaced with worry. "I know I wasn't thinking. I'm sorry." I feel the tears running down my face and I don't make an attempt to stop them. "Jen, everything's gonna be okay. I don't think anyone could've noticed anyway." He wraps his arms around me. I hope he's right.
