Head Plate, popular punk-metal band, decided to take a two month break from touring. The band re located to their homes in New York. Casey and Axel were seriously dating now, Casey even blushed when her band mates and reporters referred to him as her 'boy friend.' Izzy decided to get a serious girlfriend, after his two band mates success. Gunner decided to work on the bands web site, he had no interest in dating. Johnny Napalm on the other hand, was anxiously awaiting the birth of his child.

Judy was nine months pregnant. All she could do was sit and wait for the time to come. Her band, Violet Eyes, was still on tour. Tonight her band would be performing in New York, but Judy had to stay home. She was getting anxious to play on stage. Instead of rocking out she was glued into bed, staring at the light purple crib at the edge of the room. She never realized how much she loved to go on tour. Johnny wouldn't even let her practice guitar. The baby would be due in a matter of days. Judy shifted her eyes towards the door of the bedroom. She knew that Johnny was sitting in her apartments small kitchen, reading the paper, enjoying himself. Just as she tried to sit up she heard her cell phone ring from the table by the alarm clock. Judy reached over and answered it.

"Sup."

"Hey Judy, it's me, Pandora. How are you?"

"Pregnant." both of the girls laughed.

"Well as you know, we have a concert tonight in town and I was wondering if you could make it?"

"I really want to, but the baby is due in a few days. Johnny has been watching me night and day making sure I don't do anything to 'harm' the baby."

"So he's got the new father jitters?"

"Pretty much. He thinks that the baby is going to be a super rock star one day." Judy saw Johnny enter the room, probably worrying about radio waves from the phone killing brain cells in the baby. Judy waved at him.

"Well anyways Judy, if you really want to, we have tickets for you and Johnny. Give me a call if you make up your mind."

"Okay Pandora, love you like a sister."

"Love you too, bye."

Judy shut her phone and sat it beside her. "Pandora called. She has tickets if we want to go to my bands concert tonight."

"Judy, you're nine months pregnant. I don't think a rock concert would be the best idea." Johnny looked at Judy's eyes. "Oh my God, I'm starting to sound like my dad!"

"Yes, you are. Johnny you're being un reasonable."

"Judy, I'm just thinking of the baby."

"Relax. I can get Pandora to get some backstage passes and I can sit on a couch the whole time."

Johnny looked at the ceiling as he pondered this. "When are you due?"

"Next Wednesday, today is Friday."

Johnny let out a sigh, "Alright, you convinced me. But mind you, if you're starting to feel any 'action' going on inside you, we're staying here."

Judy smiled, "I love you."

"I love you too." Johnny sat right next to her. "Just think, in one week, there will be three of us."

"Are you nervous?"

"Hell yes." He stroked her belly, "This is one thing that I don't want to screw up."

Judy kissed him, "Well if you're as protective of the baby as you are now, than we won't have anything to worry about."

Several hours later Johnny found himself driving Judy to the concert. Like Judy said, she would sit back stage, listen to her band perform, and that would be it. Johnny on the other hand was petrified. He knew the baby was due any day now. 'Oh God, what if her water breaks in the middle of the concert? What if we can't get her to a hospital in time?' Judy could see the worry on his face.

"Johnny calm down. Nothing is going to happen."

"I can't help it! I've never been this nervous before." Johnny pulled into a parking garage near the venue. "Judy, if you feel anything, please let me know."

"Relax Johnny. As long as you are with me, I'm not worried. Now be a dear and help me out of the car."

Within twenty minutes Judy was sitting comfortably on a couch backstage. She was surrounded by her band mates, and of course reporters. Judy wasn't dumb, she'd seen the tabloids, read the headlines. There were many rumors about Judy being pregnant with a 'mystery father.' Then rumors appeared about the father being rough and angry punk rock guitarist Johnny Napalm. In fact, one night Judy and Johnny were watching the news of the BBC and one of the British anchormen had an interview with Johnny's ex, Plum. She was going on and on about how he beat her and was 'nothing more than a burnt out alcoholic.' Judy and Johnny laughed the whole time. The paparazzi got news of Johnny's sobriety and his friendship with Judy. Until now, no body but their band mates realized they were in love.

After the reporters left Judy had some quality time with her band.

Judy smiled at Casey, "So Casey, how are you and Axel?"

"We're dating now, in fact Axel is coming to the concert later."

"I saw him when we got here. I think he and Johnny are hanging out somewhere around here. Casey, I think you and Axel would make a good couple."

Midori started giggling, "I know, Casey and Axel look so sweet together, Judy and Johnny look sweet together. I'm glad we went on that tour!" Midori looked at Judy, "Judy, is it a boy or a girl?"

"Well the first ultrasound said that it was a girl, I think Johnny is dead set on it being a boy so we had a second one. It's a girl, with six fingers on her left hand."

All of the band mates screamed, except for Casey. "Why did you get a second ultrasound!? Did he talk you into that!?"

"Casey, relax, I was curious too."

Casey scowled, "If it was a boy, I wouldn't be surprised. If it was a girl I would be even less surprised. If it was Rosemary's baby I wouldn't be shocked at all." Casey still had very firm opinions about Johnny Napalm.

Right when Judy was about to shout at her band mate Shirley Crowley, the replacement guitarist walked out of the dressing room. "Hey guys." Shirley had a really scratchy voice.

Pandora's eyes widened, "Shirley, you don't look so good."

"I feel terrible! I think I have strep throat."

"Let me look," Shirley opened her mouth and Pandora looked down her throat. "Oh man! Your tonsils look really swollen!"

"I was supposed to get them removed before the tour, but I didn't."

Casey looked at her, "Dude, I don't think you can perform tonight!"

Judy sat up, her eyes widened, "I could perform tonight."

Pandora looked at her, "No way Judy! You're too pregnant."

"I can still play. Just get me a chair to sit on and I'll play for the show."

Casey turned to go, "Look, I'm going to get a doctor. I'll have him look at Shirley. If he says that she's too sick to perform than Judy can give it a go." She ran off and found a doctor.

Thirty minutes later the doctor had a verdict.

"Shirley, you need to have your tonsils removed ASAP."

Shirley sat up from her chair in the dressing room, "So I can't perform tonight?"

"No way!"

Judy looked at the doctor, "Hey doc, do you think I'm well enough to fill in?"

The doctor scratched his head, "I don't know much about pregnancy. When are you due?"

"Wednesday."

"How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good."

"Well, if you sit on a chair and don't jump around you should be okay."

Casey entered the room, "You guys we have five minutes."

Judy grabbed Shirley's guitar, "Casey, I'm stepping in. Doc says I'm okay."

Without further conversation Judy grabbed a stool and her guitar and headed on stage.
