Chapter 56


(my phone rings)

"Hello" I say.
"Hello, you've been chosen by the obscene caller of the month club."  I hear AJ say in an exotic voice.
"Hey goofy."  I say.
"Hey baby.  I can't believe you called up the show."  AJ says laughing.
"I can't believe you announced our engagement in front of all those people.  It's a wonder you weren't rushed."  I say.
"There will be fans everywhere I go, I've been planning this for a while.  I decided that since Jay Leno was our last American show, that it was where I should say something about it."  AJ says.
"So where are you going next?"  I ask.
"Europe, we'll be in France in three weeks.  We'll be touring their for about two weeks.  Paris is our last France show."  AJ says.
"Really?  I wish I could go with you baby."  I say.
"Maybe you will."  AJ says.  "Anyway, did you go to the doctor like I told you to?"
"Well,...I didn't go, persay."  I say.
"Well, what, persay, did you do?"  AJ asks.
"Well, I didn't go.  I didn't have time really."  I say.
"You didn't have time?!  Baby please, this is important; I want you to go get checked out.  Please?"  AJ asks.
"OK, I'll go tomorrow afternoon."  I say.
"That's my girl."  AJ says.  "Well, not to cut our chat short, but I'm really tired.  I really love you."
"Baby, I love you too."  I say.
"Bye."  AJ says.
"Bye."  I say hanging up the phone.

(The next morning)

I'm laying on the couch, my stomach is killing me, I feel so sick.
Tiffany walks in and says, "I just made your appointment with the doctor.  How are you feeling?"
I say, "Really sick.  I need my AJ to hold me."
Tiffany says, "Aw girl, I'm sorry.  If you want, I'll go to the doctor with you."
I say, "No, that's OK.  You go and be with Sammy.  After the doctor tells me what's wrong, I'll come to the hospital to be with Sammy and you."
Tiffany starts to walk out of the room and says, "OK."

(At the doctors office)

 "Well, Miss Patterson.  You're having stomach pain?"  The doctor asks.
"Pretty much, I get sick at my stomach when I wake up, and it goes away by the afternoon."  I say.
"Well, we're going to do a few test.  So we're going to have to take some blood and a urine sample."  The doctor says.
"Oh, goodie."  I say walking into the bathroom.

(Later on at the hospital)

"Hey Gilligan, how'd the doctor's visit go?  I'm sure AJ will be satisfied that you went."  Tiffany says as I walk in pale faced.  "Girl are you OK?"
  "Yeah, I'm fine.  He said...he...I have a little something, that's all."  I say.
"Well, I was just going to go get something to eat.  Want something?"  Tiffany asks.
"A bottled water, and a turkey sandwich."  I say.
"All you have to say is that you want your usual."  Tiffany says with a smile as she walks out the door.
I walk over to Sammy and give her a hug.
"How are things going?"  I ask.
"We all know my time is coming to an end dear.  But as far as how I'm feeling, I'm fine.  What I'm wonder is how your doing, or may I say, how are you two doing?"  Sammy asks.
I look at her in shock, I can't believe she just said that.
"What...what...what do you mean?"  I ask.
"How are you and the baby?"  Sammy asks.
"What the...how...how do you know that?"  I ask in shock.
"I've known for a week now."  Sammy says.
"How?!  How could you know before I even knew?"  I ask.
"You knew before I did, well, at least in your subcontious you knew."  Sammy says.
"I'm so confused right now."  I say as I sit on the edge of Sammy's bed.
"You knew, deep down inside you knew.  There was just a part of you that didn't believe.  Around the time you started getting sick during the mornings, that's when I noticed you were pregnant."  Sammy says.
"But how did you know that I was pregnant.  I won't even start showing for another four or five months."  I say.
"You have this glow to you.  I'm a mother of four children, I know that glow; I had it four times.  It's something a mother can just spot, I could tell that your going to have a baby."  Sammy says.
I start crying.
"What's wrong dear?  Aren't you happy?"  Sammy asks.
"Oh I'm very happy.  I dreamt of the day I get to have a baby; I just don't know about AJ.  I'm sure he'll be happy; I just don't know how it will affect his career and what people think about Backstreet Boys.  And I don't know how or when to tell him about this."  I say crying.
