~*Chapter 69*~

IN ORLANDO....Nick and Blane left the hospital to go back to his house.They had just received word that Nick's dad was going to pull through alright,and the worst was over.He would be coming home in a few days. When they got to his house,Nick wrapped her in his arms and kissed her."Thanks you for being here with me baby.I don't know how I would've dealt if you weren't here," he told her. She smiled up at him and ran her fingers through his hair,which was starting to grow out again."No problem,hun.I love you and will always be here for you,no matter what," she replied. He took her hand and they went upstairs to his room,where he peeled off his shirt and jeans."I'm gonna take a shower.Make yourself comfortable," he told her. While he was showering,she went through his CD collection and found a copy of slow romance songs.She went downstairs,grabbed a couple of candles,and returned to his room.She was going to surprise him. Stripping down to nothing but her black bra and underwear,she made herself comfortable on his bed and waited for him to finish. When he opened the bathroom door a few minutes later and saw her laying there,his mouth fell open. She laughed."Well,are you gonna stand there all day and drool,or are you gonna come over and enjoy your surprise?," she tossed at him. He came over and layed next to her,and she leaned on her elbow and gazed down at him."You ok,hun?," she asked. He nodded."Yeah.Alot has happened in the past day and a half,and I'm totally drained," he told her. She pretended to pout."Well,if you're drained,then I guess...," she began,but he cut her off by kissing her. "I'm not THAT drained," he said,and they both laughed. Nick rolled on top of her and gently began to kiss her neck.Their lips met a second later,and she moaned as his hands travelled down to her underwear and removed them. "Nick...," she whispered,and a second later she felt him inside her,and their lovemaking began.

TWO MONTHS LATER...AJ and Erica were relaxing in their hotel room.The tour was still going strong;right now they were in Italy.They had only one more month left of touring,and then they'd have a full six months off while they started working on their next album. Erica was now 7 months pregnant.She was always complaining about how fat she was;AJ always reassured her that she was not fat,and she was still as beautiful as ever. She sat now rubbing her stomach as she let out a huge sigh."I can't wait to have this baby,AJ.It feels like I have a bowling ball in my stomach," she griped. He kissed the top of her head."You'll be ok," he told her. They put in a movie,and about an hour into it,Erica let out a small gasp. AJ looked over at her."You ok,baby?," he asked her,and she nodded slowly as she rubbed her stomach. "Yeah.I just had a sharp pain in my stomach," she told him.She got up and went into the bathroom.A moment later he heard her scream. He ran in and found her sitting on the edge of the tub.There was a puddle of water on the floor,and she was crying. "Oh shit Erica," he murmered. She was looking at him in horror."AJ,I'm only a little over 24 weeks pregnant~this can't be happening!," she exclaimed. AJ took her hand and kissed it."Er,try to calm yourself.Everything will be ok," he reassured her. She was still crying."What do we do?," she asked,her voice shaking. He took a deep breath."We get you to the nearest hospital,that's what we do," he answered,and she gave a small smile as he helped her up and they headed out to tell the others where they were going.
