Elliot kissed her. "As long as you're there with me, I can handle anything."
Kelly kissed him back keeping her arms around his neck "I'll always be with you no matter where you go, Elliot". Then she paused and then said "I"m just not looking forward into firing Sandy".
"God. I'll fire her!" Elliot said. "I never liked her in the first place."
"Really? You can do that for me? Your a lifesavor Elliot!" she hugged him tighter.
"Yeah, you just get some rest. I'll fire Sandy." Elliot kissed Kelly's forehead and then went outside the bathroom. "Sandy, can I talk to you?" he asked.
Kelly finished using the bathroom, then after she washed up she went to her and Elliot's bedroom in the back past the bunkbeds, and layed down. Her mind drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Sandy looked up when Elliot called her name and joined him outside the bathroom "Yeah sure, what's up?" she asked him.
"Kelly's going to have to let you go. We really don't have a need for another back up," Elliot said with his arms folded.
Sandy's eyes went wide. Then she had an upset expression "I"m being fired? What did I do? Why wasn't I notified about this at the audition?"
"We didn't know at the audition or obviously there wouldn't have been an audition." Elliot's voice and eyes were cold.
Sandy glared at him 'How am I suppose to leave, and we're still on the road?" she asked. It would be 5 hours from now before they reached their next gig in San Diego California.
"We're buying you a plane ticket in San Diego and sending you home. Make sure you're packed," Elliot said.
Sandy kept glaring at him "Your both going to be so sorry for firing me. I'll make sure of it". she said hands on her hips and she moved closer to Elliot. "You think you've seen the lastof me, well your wrong Elliot". In the beginning, Sandy liked both Kelly and Elliot, now, they were enemies to her. And she was going to make them both pay.
Elliot raised an eyebrow and then leaned in close to Sandy so that no one else could hear. "I know you tried to poison Kelly. Come near her again and your life will end." Elliot walked to the bunk beds and sat down by Kelly.
Sandy glared at him as she watched him walk back to where Kelly was. "Jerk", she mumbled then went to the bathroom herself. Once she was in there, Sandy began to chant a spell that would put a curse on Kelly and Elliot to. "That'll teach them for messing with me". she said looking at herself in the mirror.
Kelly awoke the moment she felt someone slide into bed with her. She saw it was Elliot "Elliot? How did the firing go?" she asked whispering.
"Fine," Elliot said, putting his arms around her.
Kelly snuggled against his chest. "I've got a bad feeling she's going to try something against us. How many hours until we reach San Diego?" she still had sleep in her voice and hoped she'd have plenty of time to sleep before her show and for the David Letterman show later that night.
"You've got plenty of time for a nap," Elliot promised.
Kelly then drifted off back to sleep resting her head against Elliot's chest. She felt safe all snuggled up in his arms. She wondered if Angels slept, or did they spend all their time watching over people?
Elliot held Kelly as she drifted off. His thoughts on Sandy at first. He meant what he said. If she ever tried to hurt Kelly again, she would be in a world of hurt. Elliot moved one of his hands so it was on Kelly's stomach. He could hardly believe he was going to be father. He was determined that no one would ever cause his family pain, and if they did, they would be severely dealt with.
Much later that night......
San Diego California at 7:00 pm,
They had finally reached San Diego by that Evening. Kelly and the others complained about being hungry and wanted to stop somewhere to eat before sound check started. They had to be at the Arena around 7:30, so they had to stop somewhere quick and fast.
"I vote we go to Taco Bell. I could sure eat a Borrito right now". said Kelly's Drummer Stephen Young who was sitting on the couch.
"Me to. I hadn't been to Taco Bell in so long". said Kelly as she stretched her legs. She looked at the others "Me and Elliot have more news to tell. We're expecting a baby".
Jess's mouth popped open wide and for a minute, didn't say anything. But then she grinned and reached over to hug Kelly. "Wow. Your pregnant! This is some great news. We'll have to do some shopping together!"
"Congrats, man," Sam said to Elliot, clapping him on the back.
They arrived at Taco Bell Restaurant while Eddy the bus driver got the food. When he brought it back, everyone ate on the bus. And they had drinks. Sandy in the meantime left supposedly in a taxi to getto the nearest airport. Soon, after eating, everyone arrived at the Arena and got off the bus right away except for Sam and Jess who wanted to hug a few moments before Jess had to leave.
"I'm so going to miss my boys". Jess gave Sam and John Dean a kiss. "Take care of my son, will you?" Sam was staying behind on the bus to look after John Dean.
"Nah," Sam said. "We're just going to go to a wild party and I'm going to call Dean so that John can get tips on how to pick up girls," he joked.
Jess rolled her eyes and her expression said Men. Then she smiled at Sam and laughed at his joke "Dean shouldn't have to teach our boy about girls. Only your the one that should do that. The last thing Dean needs to teach our son is to be a pervert like he is".she kissed them one more time then said "I gotta go before they come after me". Jess was wearing a black outfit to match the band. Black dress pants, and a black top that showed her shoulders and was sparkly. Her long blonde hair had been cut short and it had been curled earlier. "You two behave yourselves!" she waved then made her way towards the arena.
Sam waved and then looked at his son. "Let's see what we can get into that will keep us both entertained."
The rehearsal went by very quickly and no problems rose. Kelly got dressed for her show back in her dressing room . For her stage outfit, she wore a red leather skirt, and a black silk shirt that showed hershoulders, wore her hair down with blonde highlights. She refreshened her makeup and was just ready to go. She was nervous. It had been awhile since she had been onstage and she was unsure how theAudience would react. Her last album did poorly. But lately her newest Album was racing the charts and that was a good thing. She then went to the stage and came out once her name was announced.
The show started off easy at first, and Kelly got back into the groove of things. She opened up her show with "My life would Suck without you" and the Audience sang along. Kelly was impressed theyknew it by heart. The next song "I do not Hook up" was when things began to get out of hand. She didn't notice her target sniper in the audience as she sang. It was Sandy disguised as just some regular concert guy moved closer to the stage took his gun up and fired hoping to hit Kelly.
Elliot appeared as if by magic and pushed Kelly out of the way. The bullet went through the back wall. The audience began to panic.
Stephen saw what was going on and stopped playing the Drums and got up to get the mic "Everyone please calm down, there's no need to run and it'll just cause a stampede". He tried to calm the Audience but didn't succeed. Everyone in a hurry went out in a mad dash for the doors. Jess stood staring at everything in horror. Never before had she even thought of a Sniper at a show before. Who could hate Kelly so much? she wondered.
Kelly felt herself go down on the floor with Elliot on top of her. She looked around to see who had started the shooting, but by the time she looked they were gone.
"We gotta get you back on the bus," Elliot said. He quickly ushered Kelly out of the auditorium and onto the bus. He checked all the areas to make sure that no one was in there. Elliot held Kelly's hand as he called the local police to tell them about the incident.
Kelly was impressed with how quickly he handled things as being her bodyguard. It had been the right thing to do to hire him as one. She stood close to him wondering why on earth anyone would want to shoot her. Then it occured to her Sandy. But Sandy wasn't the one who shot at her, a man did . All of this was so confusing to nodded at what Elliot said. "We have to reschedule this, the fans are going to be so disappointed!"If anyone knew her well, Kelly hated to let her fans down.
"We need to worry about you first," Elliot said. He sat Kelly down on one of the bunk beds. His phone rang. Elliot picked up and it was one of the local policemen saying that they caught the woman who had done it. She was dressed as a man and refused to tell them her name. "Are you up to going to the police station?" Elliot asked Kelly.
"I guess I am. Let's go get this over with". Kelly followed him out of the bus into a rental car that Elliot had for them. Within minutes they were at the station.
"Catching her wasn't that hard. Want to see her now?" asked the officer.
Kelly nodded she stepped into the room where they had her and Kelly recognized her "That's Sandy!" she told Elliot.
Elliot glared at Sandy. Whatever the police had in store for her was nothing compared to what Elliot was going to do her.
Sandy smirked at them "I told you that you were going to pay for firing me. But you didn't listen!" she scowled when she saw Kelly "I thought I had shot you. I had missed."
Kelly folded her arms "You said I wasn't going to regret hiring you. But now I do!"she yelled at Sandy. Then she turned to Elliot "What are we going to do about her?"
"Let the police handle her," Elliot said, ushering Kelly outside. He had a special plan to visit Sandy that night in her jail cell.
Much later that night after a nap, Kelly got herself ready for the David Letterman show. She put on a black and white with flower designs dress that reached her ankles. She wasn't showing yet, so she was still somewhat slim. Looking through her jewelry, she found some white gold hoop earrings and slipped them on. Next she applied some makeup. Stepping into her heals, she was about ready to go out the door when Sandy suddenly appeared before her. Kelly glared "Sandy, what are you doing here? Your suppose to be in jail!" Kelly wanted to scream.
Sandy grabbed Kelly's mouth with her hand "Shut up! Your not going anywhere tonight. I'm doing the David Letterman show tonight. I can't have you revealing that your Elliot's fiance' and you can't announce your pregnancy news! Kelly struggled as Sandy disappeared with her. They appeared in a abandoned building somewhere "I can't have you ruining things for me. Elliot and I belong together! Sandy tied Kellyup starting with her hands, and feet. Then she locked her in the room. "No one will find you unless I tell them where you are".
Kelly looked at Sandy terrified. "The others and Elliot, they will see right through you! They will know your not me!" In horror, she watched as Sandy transformed herself into Kelly .
Sandy looked down at Kelly "I don't think so. I already know a lot about you". Sandy left the room.
