Hi loves! I'm back! So that means, you guys get another fabulous Zevie one-shot. I hope you all like this one.
And now, story time!
*Hollywood, California, 2021*
The chill air blows slightly, setting the mood as many different types of cars pull up in front of the massive building on the evening of December 31st. New Year's Eve. The bright lights flash from the paparazzi's cameras as celebrities emerge from their cars, walking down the soft red carpet into the building. As the night progresses along, a classy white limousine pulls up in front of the end of the carpet that leads to the front of the building. The door opens and Hollywood's six most talked about celebrities exit the vehicle. Gravity 5 and Grace King.
Kacey Simon, lead singer, steps out first; her ever most elegant dress reaching down to the ground as she waves to the fans lined up behind the ropes and security guards.
Next, her boyfriend and drummer, Kevin Reed, emerges from the limo, dressed in nothing but the best of Kacey's own clothing line for men. He smiles and waves and then catches up to Kacey, grabbing her hand in his own.
After them, Nelson Baxter, keyboardist; and his fiancé/G5 manager, Grace King. Nelson steps out first and holds Grace's hand as she steps out after him. Nelson wraps an arm around her waist, covered in the silky pink fabric of her dress. She does the same, wrapping her arm around his waist, covered in his suit coat. They both wave to a few people and then continue on down the carpet to meet up with Kacey and Kevin.
After them, Zander Robbins, lead guitarist, steps out of the limo smiling and waving to many of the fans; including the long time devoted fan girls. He then turns behind him and holds out his hand, allowing his wife, and bass guitarist, Stevie Baskara-Robbins to emerge. Zander wraps his arm around Stevie's exposed shoulders because of her tube top style dress, and Stevie wraps her arm around Zander's waist, while her other hand flies to land on her very much protruding belly, due to the fact that she is six months along. Zander leans down and pecks Stevie lightly on the cheek, while placing his other hand over her hand that is on her belly, followed by a small kiss to her belly, receiving awws and squeals from the girls in the crowd. Stevie just rolls her eyes and blushes, and then tugs Zander along down the carpet to catch up with the others. Once all six are together, they pose for a few photos and sign a few autograph books for fans, then head inside the building to join the party.
As they enter the grand ballroom of the building, they take notice of the decorations. There are silver streamers hanging from the ceiling, along with some silver balls of different sizes. At one side of the room, hanging above the stage, there is a large banner that reads, Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022!
The group of friends walk further into the room and locate some of their friends and begin a conversation. Stevie leans into Zander and whispers in his ear, "Be right back. I need a snack."
Zander smiles at her, "Okay. I'll be here." He leans down and gives her a quick kiss on the lips and then she leaves to explore the buffet table.
After getting a plate of food, Stevie rejoins her friends and they all migrate towards one of the tables lining the walls to sit down and eat while they continue talking. As the evening moves along, the gang meets some new people they'd never seen before, and see some of their longtime friends who they hadn't seen in a while. They all talk and eat and just enjoy the company of each other.
*3 hours later*
"Alright everyone," an older man, the host of the event, says, standing up in the middle of the stage, a microphone in his hand. "I hope you are all having a good time tonight." Everyone in the room cheers. "Now, before we watch the ball drop for the New Year, I'd like to invite Gravity 5 up here to perform their newest hit, I Am." Everyone cheers again as Gravity 5 make their way to the stage, Zander helping Stevie waddle up to the stage and up the stairs. After Stevie manages to get her bass comfortable over her stomach, Zander gives her an encouraging and loving smile, while Kacey begins to speak. "Hey everyone, we're Gravity 5, and WE know how to rock!"
Kevin starts off on the drums while Zander begins on the guitar. Kacey waits for the right number of counts, and then begins singing into the microphone, like she's done so many times before.
How you spend your minutes are what matters.
All tomorrows come from yesterdays
When you're feeling broken bruised and sometimes shattered
Blow out the candles on the cake like everything's a big mistake
It seems you always wait for life to happen
And your last buck can't buy a lucky break
If all we've got is us then life's worth living
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing,
I Am
When you think that no-one needs you
Sees you or believe you
No ones there to understand
I Am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one, is there to hold your hand
I Am
We're just who we are, there's no pretending
It takes a while to learn to live in your own skin
Say a prayer that we might find our happy ending
And if you're in, you know I'm in
I'm ready and I'm willing
I Am
When you think that no one needs you
Sees you or believe you
No ones there to understand
I Am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one, is there to hold you hand
I Am
Zander continues to play his guitar, as he steps up to the microphone in front of him. He waits for a moment, and then leans forward, singing the bridge. The whole time he is singing, he is looking at Stevie, and she is looking back at him, smiling at each other.
And I ain't got no halo hanging over my head
I ain't gonna judge you, I'm just here to love you
I Am
I Am
After finishing his part of the song, Zander steps back and does his guitar solo. He is rocking out, jumping around the stage, completely lost in the music of the song. As his solo ends, he stands back up straight and goes to the mic for back up vocals once more.
I Am
When you think that no one needs you
Sees you or believe you
No ones there to understand
I Am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one, is there to hold you hand
I Am
I Am
When you think that no one needs you
Sees you or believe you
No ones there to understand
I Am
I'll be there to be that someone
When you think that no one, is there to hold you hand
I Am
As they finish the song, the crowd cheers at the bands' amazing performance. Stevie unplugs her bass and walks over to Zander at the other end of the stage, one hand holding the neck of her bass, the other one holding her stomach, a huge smile plastered on her face.
"What is it?" Zander asks her, taking his guitar off his body, setting it on its stand and then walking forwards towards Stevie.
"The baby. It kicked!" Stevie says with a huge smile on her face.
Zander's face lights up and he just looks at her. "Really?"
Stevie bites her lip and nods her head. "Put your hand here," she grabs his hand in her own and places it on the spot where the baby had kicked only moments before, "Now watch." She adjusts her bass against her stomach, and strums a few chords on it.
"Woah," Zander says, growing a smile on his face at feeling the baby kick, "that's our baby."
"Yeah," Stevie smiles back, letting her bass fall behind her back, "That's our baby."
"3….2….1…HAPPY NEW YEAR!" Stevie and Zander, completely oblivious to the rest of the room, now turn their head to look at everyone now cheering and celebrating the new year.
They smile and turn back to each other, Zander wrapping his arms around Stevie's waist, pulling her body closer to his own, as her arms wrap around his neck. He leans forward and whispers in her ear, "Happy New Year." Then he pulls away slightly and kisses her on the lips passionately. He pulls away from the kiss and bends down, placing a small kiss on her stomach where the baby had kicked, "Happy New Year to you too baby." He stands up fully and looks at Stevie to see her smiling. "This is gonna be the best year ever." He says.
Stevie slips her bass off her back and leans it up against one of the speakers, returning to Zander's arms. He wraps his arms around her waist again, and she turns around so her back is up against his chest. He places his hands on her stomach, and she places her hands on his and they both smile. Stevie looks out at all the people at the party, enjoying the company of each other and celebrating the new year. This really will be the best year ever.
