*Sorry for the long break. Just got started back at College, and had to get settled into the new semester.*

Angela lay there that night, Jordan had to fly back in the morning to join the band for the last leg of the tour. He had been home for a week, and it had been the greatest week they had had. Laura had come down to see little Jay, and had been surprised to see Jordan sleeping away on the couch with Jay on his chest. This is how they had been sleeping during Jay's naps during the day. Angela had loved having Jordan at home, but was ready for him to be back permanently. She fell into a fitful sleep after watching Jordan sleep for a while.

The next morning she awoke to the happy laugh of Jay, and the feeling of him sitting on her chest. Slowly opening her eyes she giggles at the sight of both boys looking at her. Jay sitting happily on her chest drooling and giggling, and then there was Jordan, laying on the bed with a hand on Jays back and the other under his chin on her stomach, grinning like a fool.

"What are you two doin?" She laughed

"Jay wanted to wake you up." Jordan said innocently, "I told him, Mama doesn't like being woken up."

"oh sure, throw the baby under the bus." Angela laughed, sitting up and hugging her sweet baby.

He looked more and more like Jordan every day, and it made Angela so happy. She climbed out of bed to begin their day.

After breakfast, Angela helped Jordan pack. It wasn't hard, he didn't unpack most of the clothes he brought with him, but she took her time refolding everything and packing it perfectly. They had taken Jay over to Patti and Danny so they could have a few more minutes of alone time. Jordan loved his son and loved spending time with him, but if it were up to him they would be trying for another one all the time.

They lay there, breathing heavily, arms and legs tangled together. Angela lifted her head off his chest to look him in the eyes. They stayed like this for a long time, neither moving, or saying anything. They both knew that for the next three months he would be gone, sure there would be phone calls, and they might be able to fly out to a show, but it wouldn't be the same.

At 12 they went and picked up Jay and went to lunch. They met Laura at their favorite Mexican resturants, it held a lot of memories for them. It was the place they brought Shane and Tino when they found out that Jay would be a boy, where they had celebrated the first meeting of Laura and Jay. It was only right that this was where they had lunch before he flew out.

"Look at my big boy" Laura said as she saw them

"aww Thanks Mama" Jordan said, jokingly embarrassed.

"Not you goofy, although I am happy to see you" she laughed.

They talked and laughed through the meal, no one wanted to mention the elephant in the room. Jay was enough work to keep the three of them busy so they barely noticed the time sliping by. Soon the waiter had brought the check and they were leaving. They drove slowly to the airport, everyone was quiet except for Jay, who babbled his cute baby babble the whole time to Jordan who listened intently and talked back. He already missed his son and he hadn't even left yet.

As they hugged before the terminal Jordan handed Angela a piece of paper, folded once.

"Whats this?" She asked, trying to hold back the tears.

"it's a new song for you. Im performing it tomorrow night, and I want you to have a copy, since you cant be there to hear it the first time." He almost couldn't look at her, it hurt so bad to leave again.

Angela had no words, she let the tears flow freely, and hugged Jordan as hard as she could. As his flight was called he hugged his mother once more, and then held his son. Walking away he was not ashamed for anyone to see his tears.

They sat in the dressing room listening to the crowd cheering for their opener. The guys had asked how his trip was, but all Jordan could say was good, and asked to sing his new. They of course agreed, and added it to his accustic set.

"How yall doin out there" Jordan yelled to the crowd.

"I know yall like our usual set, but I got an accustic for ya"

The crowd liked that, but had a request, they all began chanting "Red, Red,Red"

"oh yall heard about that one, well I wasn't goin to but I will if you want."

The crowd went ballistic, so he began to sing red

I'm going nowhere

Going nowhere fast

Drowning in my memory

Living in the past

Everything looked black till I found her

She's all I need and that's what I

say I call her RED

She's my shelter from the storm

She's the place to rest my head

Late at night she keeps me warm

I call her RED

He finished up and got ready to do his new song. "got a new one for ya, It'll be on our next album."

He began playin a slow sweet guitar line and sang in a very sweet, soulful voice, almost like Red.

Well me and the boys are feelin' alright

Raisin' some hell, sippin' on whiskey and 'shine, yeah

Bob Dylan on the juke box, shooting' some pool

Telling' some stories and stretching the truth and lies

Yeah, I hear the phone start ringin'

Boys, you keep on rocking' but I gotta roll, roll,

Point this ol' car down the road, road

Yeah, I know the beer's here are cold

But I've got something' warm waiting for me at home

Boys, I gotta go see about a girl

Ain't nothin' you can say, so don't even try

The second she call that little girl made up my mind,

Yeah, she did

Don't buy me no shot, don't bring me no drink

Don't go wastin' your money on me, bye, bye

Boys, you keep on rocking' but I gotta roll, roll,

Point this ol' car down the road, road

Yeah, I know the beer's here are cold

But I've got something' warm waiting for me at home

Boys, I gotta go see about a girl

If you ever find a girl like mine,

Boys you'll know why

I gotta roll, roll

Point my ol' car down the road, road

Yeah, I know the beer's here are cold

But I've got something' warm waiting for me at home

Boys, I gotta go see about a girl

Sorry Boys, I gotta go see about my girl

Ooh ooh oh yeah

Ooh ooh oh

At the same time Angela was finally bringing herself to read his song, knowing he was performing it soon. She had never doubted that he loved her, but had always been worried in some part of her brain that being on the road, all those pretty girls might cause him to stray. But now she read this and she knew, he was hers, he would always come back to her.

**the first song is obviously Red from the show. The second is a country song by Lee Brice called See About A Girl. The lyrics were just too perfect for where I'm goin with the story.*
