How did we get here? Chapter 8: Here without you, a my so called life fanfic

Here without you...

A/N: I own nothing...

Angela is still standing on the side of the stage watching Residue perform. It never gets old to her. The guys play four more songs before they start to bring the show to an end. Jordan walks over to Tommy and a says something to him before he walks back over to the microphone.

"Alright, guys. We have one last song for you before we go. You all are in for a real treat, because we haven't played this song at any of our shows. In fact, we just finished writing it a few weeks ago. Let us know what you think." Jordan steps back from the mic and looks over at Angela giving her a smile and wink. Tommy begins playing the first chords of the song.

Jordan steps back up to the mic and starts to sing.

A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby
But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
It gets hard but it wont take away my love
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it wont take away my love

When he finishes the last line, the crowd goes wild. He brushes his hair from his face and leans into the mic. "Thank you very much, Salt Lake City. You guys have been wonderful. We're Residue. Good night!"

He lays his guitar down on the stage and walks straight to Angela, already tuning out the crowd. He pulls her into his arms and holds her tight. "Red, I love you. Thank you for surprising me tonight."

"I love you, too. I'm glad I finally got to surprise you. The last time I tried this, you weren't surprised at all!" She laughs as he kisses her on the neck.

Grinning, he looks her straight in the eye. "Yeah, but last time you were surprised, weren't you?"

"Are you kidding me? That was the greatest night of my life!" He hugs her again before taking her hand and heading down the corridor to the dressing room.

Shane and Tommy walk in right behind them and both take turns hugging Angela. Tommy kisses her on the cheek. "Hey, Ang. How you feeling these days?"

"I feel great, Tommy. Thanks for asking. By the way, you guys were awesome tonight. I've missed seeing you perform." She walks over and leans on the counter beside where Jordan is sitting. "So, which one of you wrote the new song?"

Shane and Tommy both just start to laugh while Jordan grins sheepishly. "Come on, Angela. You don't really have to ask that, do you? You're our muse." Shane walks up to her and tugs on her hair. "Our boy spends all his time mooning over you. Don't you know that all our hits are about you?"

Jordan VO: Geez, Shane, you have such a big fucking mouth. Just wait until you find the right one. Idiot!

Everyone is laughing. "Shut the hell up, Shane." Jordan pulls Angela down on to his lap and nuzzles her neck. So only she can hear, he whispers to her, "What do you wanna do tonight? I sure as hell don't want you sleeping on the tour bus."

"Uh, no, I don't think I want to be on the bus with the guys. I don't think you want them to hear us, do you?" She starts to blush and hides her face against Jordan's chest.

"Angela Catalano? You got plans for me, huh?" He kisses her on the cheek before gently nudging her off his lap.

He says a little louder to the guys, "Hey, we're gonna get outta here. I guess we'll get a room somewhere because I want to be alone with my wife. I'll call you in a little while to let you know where we'll be staying. Tell Ron to swing by in the morning to pick me up, ok?" Jordan stands and takes Angela by the hand.

"Oh, guys? Dad is giving Jordan a birthday party at the restaurant next Saturday night. He wants you to come. Bring dates if you want." Angela hugs Shane and whispers in his ear. "Raynie's gonna be there. She'll be alone." She kisses him on the cheek before moving over to hug Tommy. "I'll see you guys then, ok?"

"Sure thing, Angela. You two have fun and behave! Happy Birthday, Jay." Tommy and Jordan bump fists. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do." Tommy laughs and sits in the chair Jordan had just got up from.

"G'night, guys. Don't keep him up all night, Ang." Shane winks at her and she blushes again.

"Oh, can it, Shane!" She tries to hide her face against Jordan. He grabs her hand and pulls her out the door.

An hour later, Jordan and Angela walk through door of their hotel room. Jordan drops their bags on the floor by the door and pulls her into his arms for a long kiss. Before too long, Angela's got his shirt off and starting to unbuckle his belt. "Dang, Red, are you that hot for me?" She pulls him down for another kiss.

He laughs and pulls away. "Woman, you must have missed me. I need to take a shower and then you can have your way with me." He kisses her on the nose and heads to the bathroom. She stands there for a minute watching after him before she starts to take off her clothes and drop them on the floor. She hears the shower start and she decides to join him.

Jordan's standing under the spray with his eyes closed letting the hot water run over his head when he hears the shower door open. He smiles, but doesn't open his eyes. He reaches for her and pulls her to him. She starts to kiss his neck and rubs her hands over his body. "Jordan, I've missed you so much." She continues to kiss down his chest as her hand reaches down to caress his erection. He puts his hands in her hair and pulls her mouth back up to his for a long wet kiss.

Jordan VO: She's amazing. What did I ever do to deserve her? She's everything I've ever wanted.

She pulls away and drops down to her knees in front of him before taking him in her mouth. He leans back against the shower wall and wraps his hands in her hair, letting her have her way with him. He can't help but moan as she licks up and down the length of his shaft. He softly whispers to her, "Angela. Baby, you have to stop. I'm not gonna last much longer."

She continues on as if he hasn't said anything. She's wrapped up in giving him pleasure. She reaches behind him with both hands and caresses his ass as she continues to stroke him with her mouth. She runs her hands down the backs of his legs and feels his hands tighten in her hair. She can tell that he's about to lose it, so she moves faster. He completely loses control and spills his seed into her mouth while softly calling her name.

He pulls her to her feet and kisses her gently. "Oh my god, Angela. Are you trying to kill me? Girl, that was amazing."

"Yeah, well we need to finish our shower, 'cause you ain't seen nothing yet!" She gives him a quick kiss before she steps around him and stands under the shower. "You wash my back and I'll wash yours, deal?"

It takes them 20 minutes to finish their shower because they can't keep their hands off each other. By the time they rinse the soap off, the water is starting to run cold. Jordan shuts the water off and grabs two towels from the rack just outside the door. Angela dries off and wraps her towel around her hair and starts to walk back into the bedroom. Jordan picks her up from behind and walks over to the bed with her before dropping her on the end of the bed. He takes the towel from her head and throws it on the floor.

Angela scoots all the way to the top of the bed and Jordan falls down beside her. He grabs her by the head and pulls her down for a passionate kiss. He starts to push her onto her back, but she won't let him. She pushes him down and straddles his hips. She plants kisses all over his face and neck and then she gently starts to suck on his earlobe. "Jordan, I can't wait. I need you now." She kisses him again.

"Angela, let's take it slow, baby. We've got all night." He pushes her up so that he can look at her. He runs his hands over her breasts before rubbing them down over her gently rounded belly. "Ah, baby, you're starting to show. I can't believe we're already 4 months along." He pulls her back down for a kiss. "Red, I love you. I love you more than you'll ever know. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for everything."

She looks down into his beautiful blue eyes and sees nothing be love staring back at her. "Jordan, you're my everything. I love you so much." She can't wait any longer. She pulls herself up and sinks down onto his erection, drawing a moan from his lips.

"Babe, that feels so good." He puts his hands in her hair and draws her down to him. He kisses her lips before trailing kisses across her jaw, down her neck to her breasts.

She slowly starts rocking back an forth on his cock. Before long, she's panting and moving her hips faster. He grasps her hips and helps her pick up the pace. Her movements become hurried and frantic. He can tell that she's almost there, so picks her up and flips her over onto her back. He moves in between her legs and buries himself deep. He starts slowly sliding himself in and out of her.

Her eyes are closed and she's breathing hard, moaning his name over and over. "Angela, look at me. Let me see you come apart." He takes both of her arms and holds them over her head and he starts to move faster and faster, all the time watching her face. He can see in her eyes that she's about to let go. "C'mon, babe. Come with me." He licks her neck and whispers in her ear. "I love you, Red."

Her body starts to shake and she can't keep her eyes open anymore. She completely comes apart beneath him, sobbing his name. "JORDAN!" He leans down to capture her lips in a long wet kiss and follows her over the edge.

After he catches his breath, he rolls off her and pulls her against his side. She lays her head on his chest. They're both content and happy to finally just be together again. After laying there for a few minutes, Angela pushes herself up and props her head on her hand. He gently runs his hand over her face and down under her hair, pulling her in for a kiss.

"Wow. This has officially become my second best birthday ever!" He's smiling from ear to ear. "Second only to my 21st birthday, the night you agreed to marry me, the same night we won our first record deal."

Jordan VO: Does life get any better than this? I'm married to the woman I love more than anything. We have a beautiful daughter and a baby on the way. I make a living doing what I love everyday. What more could a man want? I've got to be the happiest man alive.

Jordan reaches down to entwine his fingers with hers and brings her hand up to kiss it. He can't seem to stop staring at this gorgeous creature beside him, who just happens to be his wife.

"Jordan, do you want your birthday present now?" She smiles at him sweetly.

"Damn, Red. You mean all that wasn't my present? I've got more...to come?" She playfully slaps him on the chest.

"You definitely have more to come," she says, smirking. "But what I meant was that I have something to tell you." She reaches up and caresses his face.

"So tell me." He grabs her hand and holds it against his heart.

"Jordan," she whispers, "we're having a little boy."

He's speechless for a whole minute, just looking at her face. "You're sure?" Tears start to well up in his eyes. He quickly blinks them back. "Angela, babe, for real?"

"Yes, honey, I'm 100 percent sure." She's smiling beautifully, knowing that she's made him very happy on his birthday.

"Oh, Red. I was wrong." Laughing happily, he pulls her on top of him and rains kisses all over her face.

"You were wrong? What were you wrong about?"

"A few minutes ago, lying here with you in my arms, I was thinking I had everything in the world I wanted. I thought to myself, 'What more could I want? I'm the happiest man alive.' But I was wrong. NOW, I'm the happiest man alive! We're going to have a little boy! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

He rolls her over onto her back and neither of them say anything for a long time.
