"Don't worry Jake…We'll pick out a very rockish grave stone for you" Andy grinned

Chapter 6;

The band plus Sammi and Rachel walked into the Kerrang! Office with bright smiles, they were all still trying to hide their laughter from what happened on the bus a few minutes ago. Rachel however was silently plotting Sammi and Jake's downfall in her mind. Ashley chuckled at the determined look on his fiancée's pretty face. As they came into view the editor James grinned brightly, knowing that Kerrang was the first magazine to get the scoop on Rachel and Ashley's relationship. "Hey guys and gals!" Andy chuckled at James' usual warm greeting, "Hey James. What are we doing first? Interview or photoshoot?" James thought about carefully and decided on the photoshoot, it was easier to get that over and done with first. "Photoshoot so if you go straight down that hall then take a left you'll be at the dressing room. Marissa has left clothes for you all" The band nodded and slowly but excitedly made their way to the room.

When the door opened Sammi and Rachel grinned at the sight of their clothes, from the obvious grins on their faces the boys could tell that this was going to be a long day. Rachel caught sight of a dress she had been admiring a few months ago, finally she could have it! She looked at Ashley happily. "Go on babe. Go have fun trying on your clothes" He grinned and watched her practically run off to the rack of clothes. "This is going to be a fun day huh?" Andy chuckled and looked at Ashley. "Oh yeah. The girls will probably want to take these clothes home with them" Ashley smiled and watched Rachel for a few moments before going over to his own rack of clothes.

Few minutes later:

Rachel marveled at the dress as she held it in her hands, for so long she had wanted it and now it was hers...for the time being. She shut the bathroom door closed and began to get stripped, when she was just down into her underwear the door suddenly burst open. Her eyes widened and turned round to see CC standing there, reaching for the zip on his trousers. "Crap! I am so sorry Rach! I thought there was no one in here!" CC blinked and tried to focus his eyes away from Rachel's chest...which he obviously failed at but it wasn't his fault, it was the fact that a 5 month pregnant Rachel was standing right there, in her underwear and her chest had definitely grew a good few cups. "CC! GET OUT!" She reached for a shoe and decided to chase CC out of the bathroom, but causing much more embarrassment for herself. CC had managed to run as soon as he saw her reaching for the shoe which caused Rachel to run out of the bathroom door and into plain sight.

Ashley turned round and spluttered at the sight of his half naked fiancée and her new bump and bust. Andy and Jake turned round to see what the commotion was about but were stunned into silence, meanwhile Jinxx and Sammi were caught up in a make out session too busy to notice and CC had taken refuge on top of a filing cabinet, how he got up there that quickly no one knows, Rachel froze with a shoe raised in mid-air. Her face began to grow bright red. "Oh dear...This is...awkward" She chewed her lip and ran back into the bathroom, shutting the door and looking it this time.

The room was so quiet you could've heard a pin drop. Andy and Jake slowly came out of their trance and pulled on the rest of their clothes but to Andy's luck Ashley was standing frozen, staring at the spot his fiancée vanished from. "Ashley? Ash?" Andy waved his hand on front of his best friend's face but to no avail. He picked up a glass of cold water and chucked it at Ashley's face, causing him to splutter and awaken from his frozen state. "What the hell did you do that for?!" Ashley glared at Andy. "You were staring. Needed to distract you somehow and besides...you could really use a cold shower by the looks of those trousers" Andy sniggered and turned away leaving Ashley to look down at his 'little' problem. "Oh boy" he muttered.

Photoshoot time!

The band stood together in the room decorated to look like a haunted house, "Wonder what made them think of this idea?" Sammi looked around at all the props and grinned. She had just gained some valuable ideas for a new clothing line. Rachel smiled and looked at the Black Veil Brides figures they had on the shelf, Kerrang had definitely out done themselves. "Right guys! Let's get to work" Tim Collins, the photographer grinned at the band as he entered the room. He was keeping this shoot top secret as James had updated him on the fact that Kerrang was getting exclusive news from the band and they would be the first to know. He signaled his assistants to close the curtains in the room.

His eyes stared at Rachel and her ever growing bump, "A BVB Baby! How exciting." Tim grinned and hugged her tightly, but gently as not to hurt the baby. He grinned brightly at Ashley as he shook his hand, "I bet you are all excited for the first black veil bride baby?" The group nodded happily, "It was definitely a shock but a good shock. Ash and Rachel will make great parents, anyone who doesn't see that has to go to a doctor because there is something wrong them" Sammi grinned brightly. Tim nodded in agreement.

"Let's get this photoshoot underway" Tim grinned, he asked the makeup artist to touch up Rachel's make up with some bright red lipstick, helping it to stand out against her pale skin. "Perfect...Now Ashley you stand beside Rachel, pose as the perfect rock family" Tim grinned and began to take the photos.

After an hour or two Tim had all the photos he needed, halfway through Rachel changed her outfit into a tight fitting pair of black skinny jeans with matching heels and a diamante skull top, highlighting the size of her bump.

"Interview time" Andy grinned and clapped his hands as he ran out of the room. "Someone has fed him too much energy drinks"

"My bad" CC grinned.

Interview room

The band gathered around the circular table, feeling much more comfy after standing for a long period of time. Even though they done it on stage, they couldn't handle standing still for too long. James walked into the room with a tape recorder and sat down. He hit the play button and began to speak. "James McMahon here with Black Veil Brides and their respectful partners Sammi Doll and Rachel Bennett. Kerrang has been personally chosen by the band and their partners for an Exclusive Interview. So let's began"

Welcome back guys, how are things?
Andy: Things are going great, the tour is amazing and we feel so lucky to be touring across Europe right now.
CC: Yeah, we couldn't wish for anything much more exciting. Europe is definitely the place to be right now.
Jake: Especially with all the exciting things going on right now with the band. Personally and work wise.
Ash: Yeah, I agree with Jake. The band hasn't been this excited in a very long time.

And why's that?
Andy: [Grinning] Well, we think we should let Ashley and Rachel tell the story. Considering this is pretty much their interview
Rachel: Thanks Andy, by the way...You're not getting any more energy drinks today. You're too hyper.
Andy: Aww man! CC!
CC: What! I didn't do anything.
Ashley: Can we get back to the interview please?

Yeah, I agree. So Ashley, Rachel. What's been happening with you two?
Ashley: We've been going pretty strong, and there has been some great experiences made over the past 2 weeks. And we're happy to share them with Kerrang today.
Interview: What are these great experiences?
Rachel: Firstly, on a recent concert in Wembley where BVB had 10,000 fans there. Ashley pulled out a very romantic stunt. He took over Andy's vocals to sing Rebel Love Song to me on stage then just before he finished he pulled out a black box containing a ring. This ring to be exact.
[Rachel holds her left hand up to show off a black sapphire ring with diamonds surrounding it, it's placed on her ring finger]
Ashley: I'm glad to announce that my girlfriend Rachel and I have been dating for 3 years now but we've decided to take it to the next level. We're getting married!

Getting married! Congratulations guys, that's great news but something's telling me the story isn't finished.
Sammi: You got that right!
Rachel: Sammi's right. A few hours before the concert I let slip some important news to Ashley. I told him that I was 5 months pregnant.
Ash: And boy wasn't I surprised. Guess what happened next?
Interview: I have no idea [chuckles]
Rachel: He faints, he just passes out on the floor. So I open the door, ready to run out of the room and the guys are all crowding around the door, wanting to know what's wrong. So I step aside and show them the passed out Ashley on the floor. Andy starts laughing so obviously it's a chain reaction.
Andy: Hey! I did not start the laughing. That was actually CC and Jake.
Rachel: Sorry! But you three have the similar laugh so sorry to be mistaken. Anyway, as they all began to come down from their laughing fit. They ask me what I told Ashley to make him faint, because apparently it's difficult to do that. So I told them right then and there that I was pregnant. They just stood there and looked at them. Then...
Sammi: The rest of them passed out, one on top of the other.
Interviewer: Really? You ALL passed out.
[The guys all nod]
Interviewer: Well that's a first.
Rachel: I know right. But as you can see now, the BVB baby is happily growing inside of me.

Congratulations to you both. Marriage and a baby. That's amazing. Is Kerrang invited to the wedding?
Ashley: [Chuckling] Of course, we couldn't have a wedding without Kerrang.

Glad to hear it. Is the baby a boy or girl?
Rachel: We don't know yet, we have our sonogram next week and we'll be finding out then. But for now that's all we can give you.

Keep us updated. And how is the tour going? And are the fans still as crazy as ever?
Andy: It couldn't be better. Our fans are still with us after god knows how long. It's amazing, it really is. There's not a better feeling in the world than playing on front an audience of thousands...Well apart from getting married and having a baby that is. [laughs]
Jinxx: When we're touring we get the chance to discover new countries, new cultures. Countries and cultures many people won't ever get to see. I'm grateful for these experiences.
CC: It's not that they're crazy. The fans see us as their role models, so it's important for us to behave. That's pretty hard sometimes. There are a lot of temptations within our range, but giving into them would make a bad example.
Jake: For me on tour, it's important to keep on learning. I dare myself to learn something new each day. It's not that difficult when I'm touring.
Ashley: A lot of people could learn from Black Veil Brides. A whole lot of lessons are hidden in our songs on our record 'Set The World On Fire'. Our lyrics are mostly about rebelling and overcoming obstacles. We want to give hope and trust to our fans. The most important message we want to bring out is to keep the flame inside of you burning. Chase your dreams and never let someone stop you from pursuing your dream.

That is some pretty inspirational stuff and what about the haters? What do you say to them?
Andy: We are blissful with all the compliments, criticisms and remarks we get. Black Veil Brides provokes. Everyone has an opinion about us. You'll either hate us or love us. There's really no one who thinks we're 'okay to listen to'. Art is something that has to cause a strong reaction. I believe we managed to do that. There aren't many artists who dare to open up for this.

Very wise words, Andy. I'm afraid that's all we have time for. But thank you for sharing that wonderful news and we can't wait to see what gender the first Black Veil Brides baby will be. Keep us updated! Black Veil Brides coming to your city soon!

The interview ended and the band were soon back on their tour bus, heading to the next city. "That was a pretty awesome day" Ashley grinned, the band nodded and a soft snore caused them to chuckle. Lying across the sofa with her head on Ashley's lap and her feet across CC and Jake, was a sleeping Rachel. "Guess the photoshoot and interview took it out of her, especially all the flying too." Jinxx smiled and snapped a photo, uploading it to twitter. "Dammit, I shouldn't have drunk all that orange juice. I need to pee and I can't move" CC chewed on his lip and glared at the sleeping pregnant girl, but he couldn't stay mad for long. She was adorable when she slept. "Too bad CC. We're not moving for a while. Andy get us the cards please" Ashley grinned.

"Time for a little game of poker"

"Loser has to draw on Rachel" Jake smirked.

"Game on!" CC cheered quietly.
