The Backstreet Boys had started their fourth U.S. tour and were now in Texas getting ready for a show in Ft. Worth. AJ had convinced Taylor to come and bring the twins(duh), they even had gotten their own bus. Alicia had also come with Howie, Jayde was going to join in somewhere along the way whenever her schedule allowed, Jane would be visiting from time to time as was Maria.
Taylor looked up from the tv when there was a knock on her hotel room door. She got up and opened it to see Howie standing there. "Hey Howie.."
"Hey..can I come in?"
"Sure..where's everyone else?"
"Downstairs..we're getting ready to leave..AJ just wanted me to get Chris and take him down."
"K.," Taylor said before sneezing.
Howie smiled and picked up Chris from the bed. "You feelin' okay?"
"I feel better than I did yesterday..I wish I could come.."
"Maybe by Friday you'll be all better and can come.."
"Hopefully..tell everyone good luck."
He smiled again, "Will do, Chris, say bye."
Chris grinned, "Bye mommy!"
Taylor smiled and kissed his forehead, "Have fun Chris. Bye Howie."
"See ya later."
Taylor had caught the bug that had infected everyone in the past two weeks. First Nick got it, then Howie, then Kevin, then Brian, then AJ, then Nicholas got it, and then Taylor. She hoped Chris wouldn't get it, but he probably would.
She locked the door after Howie and Chris left and went back to bed. She pulled the covers up to her chin and prepared to spend the night watching old movies on tv.
AJ took Chris from Howie when he got downstairs. "Was Taylor up?," AJ asked.
Howie nodded, "Yeah..she looked real worn out though. She said to tell everyone good luck."
"Luck!," Chris said loudly playing with AJ's necklace.
"Thanks Chris.," AJ said smiling.
"Where's Nicky?"
"Which one?," AJ asked.
"Nicholas?"
"With the other Nick."
"Oh..where's he at?"
"In the van..he went on ahead to wait for us.."
"Ohh..cool..here come Kev and Brian..we'd better head out."
AJ nodded, "Yep."
Taylor had just fallen into a pretty good sleep when she heard the door open and someone stumble in and a baby voice fill the air. She rolled over and flipped on the light, "AJ?"
"Hey baby..did we wake you?"
"Kinda.."
He put the two down into their portable cribs, gave Chris a bottle to settle him down and then walked over to the bed. "You feeling okay?," He asked sitting on the edge.
"A little better..just tired.."
"That medicine's works, huh?"
"Oh yeah..how was the show?"
"It went good..the boys stayed backstage with Fatima and Steffi.."
"Ohhh..thats good..," She said fighting off a yawn.
He smiled, "I'm gonna take a quick shower, okay?"
"Okay."
He got up, stripping off his clothes along the way (author's note: *sigh* *lol* sorry..) and disappeared into the bathroom.
Taylor rolled over and closed her eyes. The medicine took its effect and she fell asleep again.
