Chapter 26A month had passed and Toni and Nick were on good terms with each other once again. Kristen continually pushed AJ to get the dragon tattoo on his shoulder blade removed but AJ flat out refused by making up excuses so she eventually gave up. Kristen, Jasmine, and Mandy had recorded their video for "Making It Tonight". There was a huge party going on at Lou Pearlman's house that night for the world premier of their video on Making the Video. Kristen woke up at about ten in the morning with a slightly upset stomach. She got out of bed and made it to the bathroom where she started throwing up in the toilet. AJ woke up and went into the bathroom to see what was wrong with Kristen and found her sitting in front of the toilet on her knees vomiting. He knelt down beside her and started rubbing her back. "You feeling okay?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Kristen said getting up and going to the sink to rinse her mouth out.
"Maybe we should stay home from the party tonight since you're sick."
"AJ I said I was fine," Kristen said with an attitude.
"Okay you don't need to get moody with me. I just don't think it's a good idea for you to go if you're sick."
"I have to go. The whole party is for me, Jasmine, and Mandy so it would be rude if I didn't show. Now get out so I can take a shower," Kristen said shoving AJ out of the bathroom and locking the door so he couldn't come in. AJ stood on the other side of the door confused for a couple of seconds before going into the kitchen to make him and Kristen some breakfast. Kristen sat down on the toilet with her head in her hands just thinking for a few minutes. She had thrown up a few times early in the morning for the past week but it was the first time AJ heard her. She had gone to the doctor the day before and found out that she was pregnant. She was definitely happy about it and she knew AJ would be too considering it was his idea to try and have a baby. The only thing that was bothering her was she was just nervous about telling him. She figured she would try and tell him that night when the time was right. She took a shower and put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and went into the kitchen where AJ set breakfast on the table. She sat down in her chair and began eating the plate of pancakes AJ made for her.
"Feeling better?" AJ asked as he stood behind Kristen massaging her shoulders and giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Yes I am. Sorry I got an attitude with you."
"I think I've lived with you long enough to realize I shouldn't get upset because you are always grouchy in the morning."
"I'm not always grouchy," Kristen said defending herself.
"Kristen, you know you are."
"Whatever."
"See, you are. I rest my case. Are you sure you're going to be okay for the party tonight?" AJ asked.
"AJ trust me. I'm fine. Listen I'll see you later," Kristen said getting up and giving him a quick kiss. "I'm going out with Mandy and Jasmine to look for an outfit to wear to the party tonight so give me your credit card."
"Under one condition."
"What's that? That I get something revealing for you?"
"Hey you said it not me," AJ said getting his wallet out and giving Kristen his card.
"Thanks, bye," she said giving him another kiss. Later that day Kristen, Mandy, and Jasmine went to Lou Pearlman's house where Nick, Toni, Brian, Angela, Howie, Kevin, and Kristin were already at helping getting things ready for the party. When they were finished all the girls went into one of the bedrooms to get ready.
"You look like a freaking bumble bee," Toni said when Kristen came out of the bathroom that was connected to the bedroom. Kristen was wearing short, black, velvet skorts with a yellow, velvet, tube top that had black jewels bordering the top and bottom of the shirt and also going down the sides. Then she was wearing black open toed platform shoes.
"Mandy and Jasmine said this outfit looked cute on me!"
"It still does," Jasmine said.
"I agree, don't listen to Toni," Mandy said.
"Thank you," Kristen said smiling at Toni. She sat down in front of the mirror in the room and began putting little yellow roses in her hair. When she finished she turned around to face everyone. "If I tell all of you something will you swear not to tell AJ or any of your boyfriends?" Kristen asked. Everyone agreed and Kristen went to speak when Toni interrupted.
"The last time you made me promise not to tell AJ something you were pregnant so if it's anything like that you can forget it," she said and Kristen just stared at her without saying anything and a flat expression on her face.
"You're not pregnant are you?" Kristin asked being the first one to say something. Kristen just nodded her head yes with a smile on her face and everyone in the room began freaking out about it.
"What exactly are they doing in there?" Brian asked since all the guys in the living room could hear all the shrieking coming from the bedroom.
"Who knows but I can tell you one thing it's probably Nick's girlfriend or AJ's wife who started all the commotion," Kevin said.
"How do you figure that?" AJ asked.
"Name one time those two girls are even half way calm when they are together."
"He's got a good point," Howie said.
"Our girls aren't that bad are they?" Nick asked and Brian, Howie, and Kevin just stared at him and AJ like they were insane for thinking otherwise. "Okay, nevermind. I guess they are. But hey, that's why we love them right Bone?"
"Yeah that and Kristen's also good in bed. Can't wait to get home tonight," AJ said with a smile on his face.
"You know with you getting married I figured that your hormones would have gone down a little," Kevin said.
"I think we all figured wrong," Howie said.
"When did you find this out?" Angela asked back in the bedroom.
"I went to the doctor yesterday and found out I was a month pregnant. Do you think Lou is going to have a fit about it?" Kristen asked.
"Who cares," Jasmine said. "He forced you to get laser surgery he can't exactly force you to get rid of the baby. You control your own life not him."
"I agree, Lou can just go kiss his own ass if he doesn't like it," Mandy said.
"I don't think you should have made us promise not to tell AJ," Kristin said. "He should have been the first person you told, not us."
"You lied to him about the first time you got pregnant. I won't let you lie to him again," Toni said starting to get pissed off with Kristen.
"Chill out Toni. I'm not going to lie to him. I made you guys promise not to tell him because I want to be the first one to tell him. I just want to find the right time."
"I think you should wait a little while before you tell him so it will be the right time," Kristin said.
"What is she supposed to wait eight more months before she pops the kid out on the kitchen floor while in the middle of sex?" Toni asked sarcastically. "I'm sure that will scare the shit out of AJ when he's putting something in and something bigger is coming out."
"You are a smart ass. You know that don't you?" Angela asked.
"Hey I thought it was pretty funny," Toni said laughing.
"I meant that you should just keep it a secret from him for about another month," Kristin said. "Telling AJ that you were pregnant would be the perfect Christmas gift for him. And you would only be 2 months pregnant so you wouldn't be too far along."
"I love the way you think Kristin. That would be the perfect time to tell AJ. Thanks for the idea," Kristen said getting up and giving Kristin a hug. "The only problem is can everyone else keep it a secret along with me until I tell him?" Kristen asked and everyone looked at Toni.
"What the hell? What is everyone looking at me for?"
"It's sort of unbelievable that you could keep it a secret from Nick for a whole month," Angela said.
"How is that unbelievable?"
"No offense but Kristin and I know you the least here and we know that it's probably going to kill you not to say anything," Jasmine said.
"You people are wrong, you know that?"
"Toni promise me you won't say anything to Nick," Kristen said.
"I see the trust in our friendship. But yes I promise." By the time they all finished getting ready the music was blaring throughout the house and there were tons of people already there.
"You know this is sort of hard to believe that all these people are here because of us," Jasmine said to Mandy and Kristen as everyone left the bedroom to join the party.
"I think it's pretty cool," Mandy said.
"So do I. And here comes my wonderful husband who is already probably half way drunk," Kristen said as AJ approached them.
"I heard that and I'm not even close to being drunk," AJ said with a beer in each hand. "You look absolutely hot, here," he said kissing her on the cheek then handing one of the beers to her.
"I think I'll take that from you," Mandy said knowing that Kristen was pregnant and she shouldn't drink alcohol. "Come on Jasmine. Come dance with me since TJ isn't here," she said grabbing Jasmine's hand and pulling her along with her.
"Here take my drink I'll go get me another one," AJ said going to hand Kristen his beer.
"I think I'll pass. I'm going to try and not drink any alcohol for a while."
"That's good. Come dance with me baby," AJ said pulling her close to him.
"Okay exactly how many beers have you had?"
"Had to do something while you girls were getting ready well past when the party started," AJ said with a smile and led Kristen in the middle of the room where they started dancing. It was ten o'clock which was time for Making the Video to come on. Lou turned on the two big screen tv's he had in the room to MTV so everyone could watch it. When it was over everyone started clapping and cheering.
"Now how about a live version of Love's Angels first single 'Making It Tonight'," Lou said leading Kristen, Mandy, and Jasmine to the front of the room where there was an area about a foot off the floor that they walked onto to sing. They all took a microphone and Lou went and put an instrumental version of the song in the stereo for back up music as they began singing:
Kristen: I see ya standing over there
Your looking so fine, oh my
I wanna make you be mine
I need to feel you grinding on me
Jasmine: The way you move makes
Me weak in the knee
Yeah so, please make it this time
Chorus (all):
Making it tonight
When the feeling is all right
Baby theres no reason to fight
Cause you and I fit together tight
I wanna touch with all of my might
But don't worry baby,
Kristen (spoken): I don't bite
Kristen spoke that line with a seductive look on her face. AJ started whistling at Kristen and the guy next to him also started whistling. AJ stopped and looked at the dude for a second then smacked him in the head. "What the fuck do you think you are? Do you think you are a dog howling at your mate or something?" AJ asked him. By this time AJ had just a little bit to much to drink and was just a tad bit drunk.
"Your obviously not saying much for yourself when you're doing the same damn thing," the guy said.
"There's a difference! She is my mate!" AJ yelled at him.
"Okay AJ I think you need to lay off the alcohol for a little while," Kevin said pulling him away so he wouldn't start a fight. They moved to a different location in the room to finish watching the girls perform.
Mandy: Give me your hand
And I'll lead you out onto the floor
Make you feel like you never have before
Jasmine: Touch your body nice and slow
From your head right to your toes
Mandy: And there's no need to fear
It'll work out this time
Chorus
Kristen (spoken): Baby, I need your loving
And I want your kissing
We can save that for later
But right now,
I wanna feel you grinding!
Chorus (2x)
They finished singing and everyone clapped and hollered and whistled. The party went on and AJ drank more and was completely wasted. Sisqo's 'The Thong Song' came on and AJ and Kristen were in the middle of the room practically making out without each other. "Can someone please tell me what has gotten into them two?" Toni asked pointing to Kristen and AJ. Her, Nick, Kristin, Kevin, Howie, and Mandy were standing around talking when Toni had noticed them. One of AJ's hands was under the skirt part of Kristen's skorts and was grabbing her ass while his other hand was on the small of her back pushing her towards him. Kristen was grinding herself into AJ's pelvic area and had one of her arms around his neck and the other under his shirt and holding onto his pants. When they weren't french kissing like crazy AJ was kissing on her neck.
"Well AJ's drunk we know that much. But I haven't seen Kristen take one sip of alcohol," Kevin said.
"Kristen's just happy. Leave her alone," Kristin said.
"Man I think you should find out what's making Kristen so happy and learn from her," Nick said to Toni with a smile.
"I know why she's happy and you can forget about it," Toni said walking away.
"Um okay. What the hell was that about?"
"Don't worry about it Nick. Come on Howie," Mandy said pulling him to dance with her. A slow song came on so she wrapped her arms around Howie's neck while he wrapped his arms around her waist. Since TJ wasn't there she figured she would just slow dance with guys as friends. But the whole night the whole guy she danced with at all was Howie. It was about three in the morning when the party finally came to an end. Kristen took the car keys from AJ who was leaning onto her as a support from hitting the floor. She was pretty aggravated with the fact that AJ was the only one who got completely wasted. She had never seen him get that drunk before so she figured it was a fluke thing that happened hardly ever and she was in too good of a mood so she didn't let it bother her. Mandy, Kristen, and Jasmine went home very tired and also very excited about the airing of their first music video. They had no idea how much excitement was about to come in their lives within the next week.
