Tonight, I Love You
~THE LATENCY~
"We have so much to plan!" Lacy's excited voice crackled slightly over our phone call.
I rolled my eyes. Trust her to forget the fact I'm pregnant and jump right to the fact of my earlier wedding. "Yeah, I'm not really looking forward to it," I sighed.
"What? Are you crazy?" She screamed into the phone. I held it away from my ear with a grimace. "You're mom will be ecstatic. Have you told her yet?"
I groaned, "No, and you better not either!"
"I promise," I could hear the smile in her voice and knew what was to come. "As long as you tell her by tomorrow night."
"Great," I groaned, "just one more thing to worry about."
"Sorry hun, but maybe she'll help you out." I could just see my friend shrugging. "Whoops, I have to go. Andi just got home."
I laughed, "Sure thing. Thanks for giving me a conscience."
"You're welcome!" With that she hung up.
Sighing, I fell back onto the hotel bed. So many different thoughts ran through my overly active mind. Would Bill and I be able to pull off a wedding in less than three months? Would the baby stay healthy with all this traveling? What will my mom say? Way to many problems. My stomach churned at the thoughts.
Just then a cool pair of hands started rubbing my shoulders gently. "Just relax Love, everything is going to go perfectly." Bill's soothing voice filled my ears. I leaned back into him and he wrapped his arms around me protectively. Softly, he started to hum the song he had written me. The soft vibrations against my skin tickled and made me shiver.
"I didn't hear you come in," I murmured, wrapping my arms around his neck.
He kissed the top of my head, "You looked a little preoccupied."
We sat in silence, embracing each other for a long time. After a little while the thoughts started bugging me again. "Bill?"
"Yes sweetheart?"
With his soft question I blurted everything. "What are we going to tell my mom? How?"
His long hands gently caressed my stomach. "We're going to tell her over the phone that she's going to be a grandma. I'm sure you're whole family will be thrilled. Especially Ben." I felt his smile as he buried his face in my hair. I let myself believe his words as he kissed a trail down my neck.
"When do you think we should tell her?" I asked nervously.
"How about right now?" he murmured.
I took a deep breathe, "Ok. I'm ready." Slowly I picked up my phone. Bill's hands never once left my body, as if he was protecting me from a brutal force. I dialed my home number hesitantly, "What if Dad answers?"
Bill thought about this for a second. "Ask for you Mom. She'd be kinda mad at you if she wasn't the first to know."
I nodded and pressed 'Talk'. "Hello?" Mom's soft voice answered and I sighed.
"Hi Mom. It's me and Bill." I put the phone on speaker phone.
"How are you two?" Surprise was evident in he voice.
"Great mom," a small smile captured my lips and I looked to Bill for reassurance. He nodded once, "Actually, we're better than great."
"Oh really?" Her voice raised a little. "What's going on?"
I whispered into the phone as quietly as I could and her still hear me, "Congratulations Grandma."
A scream echoed through the line. "Oh. My. God!!!!! Are you serious? When?" her frantic voice kept asking all sorts of questions.
Bill spoke because I was trying not to laugh in relief. "Yes, Star's having a baby. We just found out the other day. I wanted to give her some time to adjust herself before we told you. Sorry for making you wait." His voice was soothing and I regained control over myself.
"You're sorry? Jeez, I'm so excited! Hang on, I'm going to tell you dad!" her breathing was ragged as excitement engulfed her completely. "Dwight, our baby girl is pregnant!" Mom squealed.
"I'm so happy that him and his girlfriend called off the wedding. I don't think I'd be able to survive three more siblings." I muttered, loud enough for only Bill's ears.
"Which one?!" I heard my dad call back. "I'm gonna kill the son of a bitch!"
"Sammy," she breathed out.
Instantly I heard the silence. There was some rustling and my dad's voice hit my ears. "Baby, is it true?"
"Yes daddy," tears formed in my eyes. "You're going to be a grandpa."
"Oh dear Lord." I could just see him shaking his head. "Congrats you two."
"Thanks daddy. I love you."
"Love you too princess."
The phone got jostled a little bit more. "Love, I love you too but we have to go. The news almost gave your poor father a heart attack." Both of us laughed. "Call me later?"
"Sure, but one more thing," I threw in.
"What is it?" She sounded almost nervous. "Is it twins?"
I giggled, "no. Do you mind helping with wedding planning?"
"Of course! But I really must go revive you dad. Love you." With that she hung up.
I hung up and my eyes locked with Bill's laughing chocolate eyes. "That was," he murmured, "interesting."
I kissed him sloppily and he held me tighter. We let ourselves relax into the other, using each other for support. There was no denying our love. This was my Billa. I turned slightly in his arms. "I didn't think it was possible." I muttered.
"Didn't think what was possible?" He murmured into my hair.
"That tonight, I love you more than I ever thought possible." Our eyes met and a shock went through both of our bodies. Love made our world spin and time stood still.

TWO MONTHS LATER
"Thank you Leipzig!" Bill shouted to the huge audience. I clapped and cheered along with everyone else. The last show of their tour was amazing. So many fans had shown up and allowed them to play to a sold out crowd. Not to mention they were probably the most energetic over the last two months.
The crowd roared as the boys ran off of the stage. Gustav of course was a little later, having had the crowd follow his lead once again. "I want cookies!" The blond exclaimed.
I laughed, holding my own stash behind my back. "You were great guys," I exclaimed.
"I know someone has cookies!" Gustav said yet again.
I rolled my eyes and threw the package. "Catch!"
He caught it in the nick of time. They almost fell to the floor when his hand whipped out of nowhere. He checked the bag anxiously. With a smile he looked at us all, "The cookies are fine!"
I pretended to wipe the sweat off of my brow, "Thank God. What would we have done if they were broken?"
"Eat them?" He offered with a silly grin. Then he shoved one of them into his mouth and moaned, "Amazing."
We were all laughing when Tom walked up, "Come on guys, it's out encore!"
I clapped as they walked back onto stage. "Gustav is too cute." The young girl beside me said in accented German.
"Hi," I smiled at her. "Who are you?"
"I'm one of the fans from Montreal," she blushed a little. "My friend and I won a trip here. My name is Camille."
"Oh awesome! Are you enjoying the concert?"
"More than anything," the girl's big eyes shone with excitement. "You have no idea what I would have done to get here if I didn't win that contest."
I shuddered mentally at the image. The girl could be no older than seventeen. Then again, I was only eighteen when I had gotten both Bill and Braiden. I decided to change the subject somewhat, "so you like Gustav?"
She sighed, "He's only the man of my dreams."
I laughed, "That's how it's always been with Bill for me."
"You're Star, aren't you?" She raised an eyebrow. I wondered briefly if I had given away too much. I nodded dumbly. She smiled, "I'm so happy you and Bill got back together. I couldn't stand that other girl!"
"Me neither," this made us both laugh. All too soon our conversation was cut short by the end of the concert. We both cheered like crazy and Amy and the other girl joined us.
Bill smiled at the two Canadian girls before kissing my temple lightly. Tom and Amy shared much the same greeting. Gustav's eyes were instantly entranced by Camille. "Hello," his deep voice rang out, "I'm Gustav."
"I know," she squeaked out. "Camille."
"Well it's very nice to meet you. Where are you from?"
"Montreal," she gasped out.
"Really? I loved Montreal! We've been there twice now. Cold though." He shook his head with a smile.
"You get used to it," she shrugged.
I watched with a smile as they talked all throughout the hanging out with us. The other girl and Georg talked, but neither really looked interested. Let's just say Geo is into more exotic girls. Bill squeezed my hand as we all talked. Gus and Camille were still in their own little world. I could have sworn I saw them exchange numbers near the end.
Just as the two were leaving I grabbed the dark-haired girl's arm. "Camille, it was great meeting you."
The look in her eyes proved my assumption correct. "Great meeting you too! Maybe see you around?" She looked over my shoulder at the guys with a blush.
I winked at her, "I'm sure of it!"

Kk... my sleep deprivation story:
over this easter break I've had a bunch of my friends over as a result of my b-day... the first night my BFF Breann was over and well... we stayed up till 4:30 watching Jackass 2. Ever heard of it? The most hilarious and disgusting movie ever! Anyway... we were literally crazy by the time we went to sleep.
The next nite the rest of my friends were over and we were partying it up in the basement (my room). We watched horror movies that didn't mix well with the sugar we'd eaten and there was a lot of tears and screaming.
That night my other 2 BFFs stayed over (Shrek and Diego!) We watched the TH DVD!!! It wuz amazing and we literally freaked out seeing the guys' butt/bod/muscles! Then we ate more sugar! ;-]
the other day I went to Shrek's place and it got soooo late that we were watching horror movies and the TH DVD again! We had a brilliant idea to write the boys a fan letter... u would be proud of us if ur goal was to make them think ur crazy!!! hahaha... but u all know that anyway... xP
