Chapter 12

Duval Residence

Jeff'sPOV

"Ready for your audition?" Nick asks, looking over at me.

"Yeah." I say. Nick laughs.

"Nervous?"

"Extremely."

"You'll be amazing babe. I've heard you practice." I smile at him and stand up. "Good luck."

"Thanks babe. Love you." I say, moving to the door.

"Love you too!" he calls I before I walk to the car. I quickly start it up and drive to the location. I get out and look around at the few people waiting for their auditions. I sit, nervously waiting until it's my turn. I walk into the other room and see Ross with a few others. They introduce themselves as Rocky Lynch, Rydel Lynch, and Ellington Ratliff.

"So whats your name?" Ross asks. I look at them before answering with the name we came up with.

"Riker."

"And your real name?" Rydel laughs.

"Jeff Sterling." I blush a little.

"Alright Jeff, show us what you got."

Nick's POV

I look out the window and watch as he drives away. I smile and walk into the girls' room.

"Alright girls, Daddy's out for an important audition, so be good for me please." I say in a baby voice as I give them their pacifiers. I walk back out to living room and put the TV on. I watch for a little while before one of the girls starts crying again. I get up to go check on her but when I check her diaper it is not dirty and she doesn't accept the bottle I try to give her. I stand the confusion until I look at the other crib that has Laila in it and gasp.

Jeff's POV

About halfway through my audition my phone starts vibrating in my pocket. I ignore it and continue but it buzzes again. I keep playing until I finish the audition, my phone buzzing a few more times before the end. They all look at each other and smile.

"That was really good! One thing though. Whay was going on about halfway through?" Rocky asks.

"Oh, nothing. My phone just kept going off." I sat, pulling it out and checking it. Five missed calls from Nick. Two voicemails. I frown. "I need to... one second. I'm sorry." I listen to one of the voicemails.

"Jeffy, please pick up. I know you're in your audition, but we're in the emergency room right now. A piece of the pacifier broke off. Laila was choking on it. Please, come as soon as you can." I look up worriedly.

"If you don't mind me asking, what's going on?" Rydel asks.

"That was my boyfriend. One of our kids is in the emergency room. I'm sorry, I have to go." I say, getting my stuff.

"Okay, we'll get back to you soon. I hope your kid is okay." Ross says. I smile quickly then rush out. I start the car and rush to the hospital.

Nick's POV

I pace back and forth in the waiting room, waiting for Jeff. I hear the door open then close and turn to see him rushing in.

"Is she okay? How's Tessa?" he asks worriedly.

"The doctor said she's going to be okay, they're just checking over her to make sure. Tessa is fine, she's right here." I say, picking her up. Jeff takes her from me and holds onto her tightly.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here earlier." he says.

"Its okay, you're here now and she's fine. Everything's going to be fine. It was scary, but it's over now." I reassure him. He sighs and nods.

"Yeah. It's all good now."

Jeff's POV

"Yeah. It's all good now." I look down at Tessa in my arms. We sit and wait until the doctor brings Laila back out. Nick instantly takes her and holds her close to him.

"Well, despite the incident, she's fine, we checked her over and she's good to go." the doctor says.

"Thank you so much." Nick says as we go to leave. We put the girls back into Nick's car and drive back to the house in our separate cars. When we get there, mom is back from wherever she was.

"Hey boys. How was your audition Jeff?" she asks.

"Good. I feel good about it." I say.

"That's good. And where were you Nick? I was worried." she says.

"Hospital." Nick answers.

"What?" she asks, shocked. We explain everything that happened to her as she listens intently. "Wow," she says when we finish. "You boys have been through a lot." I nod. "You two can just relax for the rest of the day, I'll take care of them for you. I insist. No protesting." Nick laughs and I smile.

"Alright," He agrees.

"Thanks," I say. She just smiles and walks off and I look at Nick. "I feel bad. I wasn't there while you were at the hospital."

"It's okay, babe. It's not your fault. That was an important audition." he says.

"Not as important as that. I feel bad."

"It's fine. You couldn't help it." He looks at me and I sigh and rest my head on his shoulder.

A week later I get a call about my audition.

"Everyone shut up!" I say before answering. "Hello?"

"Hello, Jeff?"

"Yes, that's me."

"Hey Jeff, it's Ross. I'm calling about your audition."

"Okay."

"We thought that you were an amazing bassist. However, clearly you have a family that you care very much about, and doing this, you would be spending a lot of time away from them. So, I just think it's best if you stay with them."

"Oh, alright. Thanks."

"No problem. Bye." I hang up and look at Nick.

"So?" He asks.

"They loved me."

"That's great!"

"But, they said it's best if I stay with you and the girls because clearly I care very much about you."

"Aw, I'm sorry babe." He says, holding my hand.

"Its okay. It's for the best." I say. He smiles and kisses me.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
