Thanks for reading. It means so much to me. About the last chapter, I don't know if Cory really does have a niece. So in this story the only things that belong to my mind are the baby and Adaline. (Sorry about that.) Thanks for all the alerts and favorites. Please continue to review.
Chapter 10
July 18th, 2011
Lea and Cory were getting ready to get on the plane. Marc and Edith hated to see them go. They had gotten used to having them around.
Lea hugged both her parents and said, "Thank you for letting us stay with you. I'll call you soon."
Marc shook Cory's hand and said, "Take care of my little girl. Make sure to keep us up to date on our grandbaby. We are going to make a trip out to see you when you are back and settled again."
Cory told him, "We will let you know what is going on. I promise nothing is going to happen to her on my watch, neither of them. They are my top priority."
They said last goodbyes. Cory and Lea got on the private plane.
Lea was sitting as close to Cory as she possibly could. He had her hand rested on her stomach.
Lea said, "I can't wait to meet Justin, Jacob, Seth and Josh. The way you talk about them they all sound like great guys."
"They are great guys. They are going to love you."
Lea rested her head on Cory's shoulder. She asked, "Can you wake me when we get there? Your baby is taking away all my energy."
Cory kissed her head and said, "Of course baby. Take a nap. I'll wake you when we get to Canada."
Cory kissed Lea and said, "Wake up, babe. We are in Vancouver."
Lea stretched and her head went to her stomach automatically. Lea said, "It's the first time our little one has been in their daddy's homeland. This is special."
Cory leaned down and kissed Lea's stomach. "I can't wait for you to meet everyone. You are special. I know we aren't going to get to come to Canada very often. This trip is going to be special. I'm going to take you shopping for our little fetus. The press shouldn't be too bad around here. If we have to we can say we are shopping for Adaline. When we go to Montreal she is going to be all over you."
"I am excited. I am excited for anything that has to do with you and our little family."
"That is why you are so perfect."
Cory took Lea's hand and they walked off the plane.
Cory looked up to see the members of his band waiting for them. He pulled Lea over to them.
Cory asked, "What are you guys doing here? I told you we would meet you at the airport. I didn't want you to make a special trip."
Justin said, "Are you kidding? We weren't going to miss meeting you at the airport and meeting this girl you have not been able to stop talking about. We were wondering if she was even real or you just didn't want to be with us yet."
Lea giggled and told them, "Yep, I'm real. Hi. I'm Lea."
Cory said, "This is Lea, my wife and other half. She is the mother of my future children. She is all I could ever want in a woman."
Lea clung to his arm. Josh said, "The two of you are so cute. I can see why Cory is so happy now."
Cory laughed and told them, "I'll be happier in about five and a half months." Cory put his hand on her stomach.
Seth said, "Congratulations! You are going to make a great dad. We better get back to the hotel. We have a gig in three hours."
Lea was standing back stage at the end of the gig. She threw her arms around Cory's neck when he walked off stage. She said, "Babe, you were great! I could tell that you were doing something that you really loved. I am so glad I was here to see it."
Cory told her, "I hope you don't get tired of it. I would love to see you at more of our gigs. It is so nice to know you are watching. You don't have to come to them all. I would just like to be able to see you watching."
"Babe, I'll be there whenever you want me unless your baby has other plans. My back is starting to hurt a little bit. You go out with the guys. I am going to go back to the room."
"I'll go back with you. I'll give you a back and foot massage. You are doing all the hard work. Is there something you are craving that I could get you?"
"I would love some cheetos and pickles."
"Lets go to the store and then we'll spend the rest of the night in the room watching whatever you want to."
"You are the best husband a girl could ever want. I can't wait for our baby to meet their daddy."
"I can't wait to meet our baby. I am getting a little tired. The jetlag isn't working well for me, my hormones and everything else."
"Then lets get you what you want and we will go rest. We can hang with the guys tomorrow. They really can't wait to get to know you, but they are going to have to. You and fetus come first."
"You are great. I am so lucky to have you."
Cory went over the guys and said, "I'm going to take Lea to the store to get some things she is craving. We'll meet up with you guys tomorrow and you can all get to know each other. Jetlag is setting in."
Lea said, "I hope I didn't ruin any of your plans. Cravings have been taking over my life lately. I can't wait to get to know you guys tomorrow. Cory has told me so much about all of you."
They all told them good night and went their separate ways.
Lea was laying back on the bed eating cheetos and strawberries while Cory gave her a foot massage. She asked, "How did I get so lucky?"
Cory looked up at her and said, "No, I'm the lucky one. I am so glad you are here with me and I didn't have to come back alone. I'm sorry that I cut your trip with your parents short."
"It's fine. Fetus and I wanted to be with daddy. Momma and daddy will be coming to see us in LA. I am so glad to be here with you. Jon wasn't happy to see me go so soon, but he promised to come see us."
"Lee, I think we need to find a bigger place. If we are going to be having a baby we are going to find a place that we can all fit in. Your parents are going to be coming more often and they should be able to stay with us. Hopefully my mom will be able to come down some to see the baby."
"I think you are right. We can't look for another month or so after we let everything out in the open. Cory, I love you so much."
"I love you, too. I just wish we could tell Ryan now and get it all out in the open. I want to be able to show you off."
"You are so cute. Thanks for the foot massage, baby. You want some cheetos, strawberries and pickles?"
Cory gagged a little. "No, honey. I'll let you and the baby have them. You two are the ones that want it."
"I know it sounds gross, but it really isn't that bad."
"I'll take your word for it. I'll get you whatever you want. I am at your service."
"You are the best. What do you think is going on with Dianna and Mark?"
Cory came up the bed and sat next to her. "I don't know, but I think it is awesome. The two of them are great people. I think they would be happy together, but that is something for the two of them to figure out on their own."
"You are right. I just want to know what is going on."
Cory smiled. "I know you do babe. Get some rest. You can call Dianna tomorrow and bother her about it while I am in rehearsal. I can't wait for you to get to know the guys. I am going to take you for a tour of Vancouver tomorrow, too."
"We'll have to see what baby has to say about all of that in the morning. They have been sucking all of my energy away."
"Okay. You have a deal."
The two of them curled up together and fell asleep clinging to each other.
