A.N.: This is the last one for the round! This one is a good one to end with. Guess they purposely chose this prompt to be #29 for a reason :)
I really enjoyed writing for Round 8. It certainly was a challenge at times because there were some prompts that I just didn't know what to write about and damn, 300-500 word limits are just as hard as keeping it to 100 even for drabbles.
I really hoped you like my entries :) Again, please review! I really appreciate comments and feedback.
See you all soon with new stories and definitely for Round 9!

Living life as a famous rock star is one of the most thrilling and terrifying things ever.
It's enjoyable because I'm doing something I love, but it's terrifying because of a few things: the temptations that arise, the craziness of being famous, and the fact that I'm far from home most of the time. That last one goes in conjunction with being away from Bella.
Our love was a whirlwind romance, you can say. She was just a fan at one point and then became my everything so quickly. I can never thank Fate enough for sending her my way.
Well, more like flying into my arms because Bella is one of the clumsiest people ever and she was pushed around when a crowd of fan girls bombarded me at the end of a show in Seattle. She was pushed into the railings, toppling it over onto me and then landing in my arms. One look in her eyes and I was far gone. We've been together since – and that was three years ago.
What I hate the most is that she wasn't able to tour with me. School became a major priority since she wanted to graduate on time rather than waste time and money by graduating at a later date. Her mind was on her studies and I'm so proud of her that she wanted to get a college education, unlike me who dropped out after two years when my music career took off. She wished to be with me a lot and occasionally she'd fly out to be with me for a weekend. We'd cherish the precious time we had together during those times – and mainly, we never left my hotel room (*cough cough* the bed).
It's been about two months now since I'd last seen her and I was so close to just flying home to our house just to see her, to touch her, to hold and kiss her, even if for a few hours. Thank God for Skype.
Right before we performed our final show, my best friend and drum player in the band, Jasper, took a pic of me with my phone outside the arena. I held up a sign saying, "Be home soon." I sent it to Bella so she knew that in about two days I'll be home with her for good, at least for a while before another album and another tour.
That night we started driving back up to Seattle from LA. I had noticed my phone had a message from Bella.
About time! I missed you and I'm so glad you're coming home. I got a surprise for you, but just so you don't have to wait impatiently to return home to find out, here's a little sneak peak :) Love you, baby! MWAH! ~ Bella
Attached was a cell pic of an ultrasound.
Surprise indeed.
I was gonna be a daddy.
This tour bus couldn't get home fast enough.
