3 days later….
Karma and Spied were in her trailer unpacking her performance clothing and getting ready for the sound checks and dress rehearsals.
"Why are you so excited? The concert doesn't even start for another few hours." Karma asked Speid. He put down her clothing on the bed and turned around.
"I get to see Jude today. Every time Quincy and I have gone over to her house to pick up Sadie, she was never home. Tonight she's doing the theme song and premiering her new single. There's no way I'm going to miss seeing her. We haven't talked since she left. I miss her Dude-ship." Spied said sadly.
"Well, I'm going to get ready for the rehearsal. Go see if you can go find her and catch up or something before she does her sound check and rehearsal." Karma suggested before turning her back on him and holding up her dress. Speid turned to go out the door. One step out the door and down the stairs, he saw Tommy and Sadie coming his way.
" Hey Sadie, have you seen Jude?" he asked. As soon as he said her name, Tommy looked up and stared at Sadie, expecting an answer.
"Not since we got here. She's most likely in her trailer getting ready for her sound check and rehearsal." She said and turned back to Tommy. "We need Karma. She's up in a few minutes for her soundcheck." She said, directing Tommy to Karma's trailer. Sadie turned to follow but dropped her iPhone in the process.
"Oh, hey Sadie…." Speid said as he bent over to pick up the phone. The background picture on Sadie's iPhone was a picture of her and Jude. In the picture, Jude and Sadie were hugging each other. Sadie was wearing her normal short skirt, blouse and boots while Jude was wearing a pair of hip hugging jeans and a tight Green Day t-shirt. The tight shirt pronounced her pregnant belly loud and clear. Whoah, wait, pregnant belly? Speid quickly turned his back on Tommy and Sadie as they were entering Karma's trailer. He slid the slider over to unlock the phone and went directly to the photos icon. There were tons of pictures of Jude sporting a pregnant belly. "What the hell?" Speid whispered to himself. He looked up quickly and pocketed Sadie's phone. He started to walk away quickly, looking at every trailer door, reading the names to whom the trailer belonged to. He finally got to the end of the lot and to the trailer closest to the backstage entrance, which had Jude's name on it. Speid walked quickly up the two steps and knocked on the door.
"Just a minute!" he heard Jude shout. A minute later the door opened to reveal a flushed Jude wearing ripped jeans and a baggy hoodie.
"Speid! Oh My god, what are you doing here?" she asked, pulling him into her trailer and hugging him.
"I came with Karma. I was hoping to see you. Wow, look at you. You look great." He said, his eyes lingering over her covered abdomen. Her baggy hoodies were doing a good job of hiding her secret. Speid sat down quickly and started to fan himself. "Wow, it's hot. Aren't you hot wearing that hoodie?" he asked.
"Not really." She alleged. She sat down next to Speid, making sure her hoodie fanned out around her belly. "So, what have you and Karma been up to since I've been gone?"
"Nothing, really. Karma's been working on her album with Quincy. I've been working on my album with Jamie and Zeppelin. We got a court settlement from the Newlyweds show. The judge didn't deem the producer right, trying to make us fight and divorce. So we ended up keeping the apartment. Other than that, nothing much has happened. What about you?" he asked.
"Oh, same as you. Nothing much, just working on my fourth album. We're halfway done with it. Then after my fourth album comes out, i'm going on tour. This tour is going to be so much bigger than the one that G-major sent us on." Jude said excitedly.
"So, nothing major?" Speid queried. Jude shook her head no. Speid pulled out Sadie's iPhone and turned it on so the background picture was showing and turned it to Jude. "Can you tell Sadie that she dropped her phone. She's probably going crazy knowing that she lost it." Jude looked at the phone and started to panic. She took the phone away from Speid and set it down on the table in front of them. "Nothing major, huh?" Speid asked again.
"Speid, it's complicated." Jude whispered, lowering her head as tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"So, who's is it?" Speid asked softly.
"Its Tommy's. He doesn't know yet." She whispered as she sniffled.
"Are you going to tell him?"
"Yeah. And trust me, I,'ve already have had this conversation with Sadie a million times. I was planning on finding him after tonight's concert and telling him. He deserves to know." Speid gave her a look, a look telling her that she should've known better than to wait. "Speid, this isn't something you tell someone over the phone!"
"Well, when it's the only way, then yes, it can be!" he shouted back.
"Jude! Is everything okay?" someone asked from the other side of the trailer door.
"Yeah. Everything is fine. You can come in." She said as she wiped her cheeks. The trailer door opened and in stepped a woman who appeared to be in her early twenties wearing jeans and a Jude Harrison t-shirt, her brown hair was up in a ponytail. She was holding a clipboard along with wearing stage passes around her neck.
"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't know you had company. I thought you were talking to yourself again." She said in a smooth British accent. Jude stood up from the couch and waved her hand toward the other woman.
"Speid, this is my friend and label appointed assistant Mary. Mary this is my friend and old band mate from Toronto, Speid. He's in the works of making a solo album."
"Pleased to meet you." Mary said as she shook Speid's hand and turned back to Jude. "Jude, you need to be on stage in fifteen minutes. We need to go." She urged. Jude nodded her head and pulled on her stage passes.
"Speid, I have to go. Maybe we can get together again before you and Karma leave." She said, before stepping out of the trailer. Speid followed her out. As he stepped onto the pavement, he saw Karma and Tommy walking out from the backstage area. He watched Jude for a second and realized that she had her head lowered and her hood up, covering her face as she passed Tommy and Karma. Karma saw Speid and walked up to him and gave him a hug and a kiss.
"So, did you find her?" she asked.
"Yeah, I found her."
"Find who?" Tommy asked.
"Jude." He said, looking directly into Tommy's face.
"You found her? Uh, how is she doing?"
"She's great. She's practically growing."
"What?" Tommy asked, as they continued walking down the lot to Karma's trailer.
"I said she's practically glowing." Speid said as he and Karma continued down the lot to Karma's trailer, leaving a baffled Tommy in their wake.
