Four months down, two to go, and I’m already so over it.

I managed to get to a doctor not long after we started the tour and I found out I was two and a half months along. Right now, I’m coming up for six months, and I’m really starting to feel good and pregnant. My hormones and mood swings are out of control, and every one bar Jimmy, and occasionally Zacky or Brian, stay far out of my way. Even Taylor has started sleeping in their bunks, instead of with me, so I’m lonely as well as grumpy.

“Morning. Why the long face?” Zacky said as he came over to the table where Taylor and I are sitting, waiting for everyone to come down for breakfast.

“I’ll give you a hint.” I half groaned and sat back so my belly popped forward.

“I figured. Getting tough huh?” he asked and sat next to me.

“Oh sweetie, you have noooooo idea.” I giggled tiredly. “Taylor’s behaving though so I guess that’s sort of a plus.” I added and sighed.

"I know she's only three, but she knows." He told me with a grin. "Hey, you can totally say no if you want, but seeing as we have tonight off, I wanna take you somewhere today." He said and my ears perked up.

"What about Taylor?"

"I'll bribe one of the others to look after her. I think you need a little time by yourself, even if it's only a couple of hours." He smiled and I actually felt a little bit excited

"Ok. Sure." I grinned.

I wonder where he wants to take me? Though, let's be honest, anywhere without Taylor, 6 months pregnant or not, will be awesome. Eventually everyone else dragged their butts down for breakfast and I saw Zacky muttering things to B. Ha! He must be the one that's gonna be stuck on Taylor duty.

"Right. Let's go princess. You and me have a date today." He told her after breakfast finished and scooped her out of her booster chair and winked. Though whether it was at Taylor or Zacky I'm not sure.

"Ok. I have to go find us a mode of transport, go get ready and I'll meet you back here in like a half hour?" Zacky said to me as the others disbursed.

"Sure. See you soon." I grinned and nearly skipped up to my room. Well as close to skipping as a pregnant lady can get anyway.

He's been extra palsie with me lately, so maybe he wants to spend some time alone with me without Jimmy, or Brian or Taylor interrupting. I grinned to myself and did my hair quickly and found my comfy shoes, dunno how long I'll be standing, so may as well prepare for the possibility of it. I changed my shirt and sprayed some perfume before I grabbed my purse and my room key and headed back downstairs.

"And where are you off to fair maiden?" Jimmy asked as he came up to the elevator I'm waiting at. Him and me are sort of trying being together? At the minute it's not much more than a foot rub or crazy making out if my hormones are driving me insane, but it sorta works...if I'm not yelling at him for something.

"I'm not sure. Zacky's taking me somewhere for some 'Taylor free' time." I told him and he nodded.

"I feel ya. If it goes well we might have to make it a thing before the baby comes huh?" He cooed and held the elevators doors open while i waddled inside.

"Babe, that would be awesome!" I grinned, not realising what I had said straight away. "What?"

"Nothing. You just called me babe, babe." He chuckled and didn't give me a chance to reply, because he grabbed both sides of my face and planted one on me. He licked across my bottom lip and I opened my mouth almost straight away. I always forget how fucking good he is at this. Pretty sure that's part of the reason your pregnant love...

We got to the ground floor before we broke apart. "Holy crap... I forget how good you are at that." I sighed and he laughed at me.

"Forever at your service." He smirked and we walked out together.

"That service may need to be utilised later..." I mumbled and headed for Zacky at the concierge desk. Jimmy just cackled, smacked my butt and headed wherever he was going.

"Hey. You ready to go?" Zacky grinned when I squeezed his sides to get him to turn around.

"Yep. Where you taking me?" I asked with a smile and hoped I didn't look too hot and bothered. Last time I admitted being with Jimmy, he got crabby and didn't talk to me for a couple of days.

"Well, I thought I'd take you a few places I took Zina, when she was pregnant with Jackson." He said, referring to his sister and nephew.

"Oh?"

"We can do something different if you want, but I'm taking you for a mani/pedi, a haircut, some baby shopping on me, and lunch wherever you want." He told me as we got into a chauffeur driven car and I grinned wide.

"Really?!" I squeaked and recited the urge to clap my hands in excitement.

"Yep. When I took Zina, she was further along than you, and I had to endure a lot of crying, but she had the time of her life, and I honestly wish I'd done it sooner."'he grinned.

"Z that's awesome. Thankyou." I gushed and felt my eyes well up. Dammit! Fucking hormones!

"Aww! Not you too!" He chuckled and hugged me to his side.

The morning we had was truly fantastic. I got pampered to the max at the salon, and even though I can't see my toes anymore, they sure looked pretty when I was sitting in the chair. I got my hair cut, coloured and styled and by the time we were heading off to shopping and lunch, I was literally walking on cloud nine.

"Where do you wanna eat?" He asked as we walked down the street. Well...he walked...I waddled.

"How bout down there somewhere?" I suggested and pointed to the cafes just down the street from us.

"Whatever you want momma." He grinned, but he's bright red like he's nervous.

We sat down at the cafe and ordered before I noticed how fidgety he was. "You alright Z?" I asked going into momma hen mode. Brian hates it when I do, but I kinda can't help it. Especially now.

"Yeah. I'm okay. I have to tell you something though, and I'm not quite sure how to bring it up." He began and I nodded encouragingly, even though he won't look at me.

"Just tell me sweetie. I don't bite." I giggled and almost straight away he looked up with a raised eyebrow. "Ok! Usually!" I added and giggled louder. That got a split second grin out of him, before he looked down at his hands for another few minutes. Eventually he took a deep breath and looked at me with a very serious look on his face. Yikes.

"Ok. This is really hard for me...and I know you're sort of with Jimmy, but I have to tell you before my head explodes. I like you Roxy. I like you a lot and I have since you started working for us." He told me and I could do nothing more than gape for a little while. "Please say something. I don't wanna wreck whatever you and Jimmy might have, but I just had to tell you. It was driving me insane." He continued and chuckled uneasily.

"Z...I..." I began and contemplated my answer. Having what I have with Jimmy is awesome, but having Zacky being into me too? Maybe he can give me the company I need when I can't stand the sight of Jimmy for whatever reason my hormones have decided that day. "I like you too..but I have the thing with Jimmy and...I dunno, can we try? It'd have to be kinda low key till the babies born, and I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings..." I trailed off and he grinned. Jesus...maybe I am a hussy...

"Roxy, you hussy you." He chuckled and I swatted at him. "But I understand...to be honest I didn't think I'd be able to have you at all, so sharing you will be ok I guess." He said quietly and looks like the weight of the world had been lifted from his shoulders.

I grinned. "Ok. Cool. How bout...how bout we get Brian to keep Taylor for the whole night and you come over to my room and we can watch a movie or something?" I trailed off and it was his turn to gape.

"Are you asking me to sleep over?"

"I think I am..."

"Ok. Sounds good. I think?" He chuckled.

"It's just a movie Z." I giggled, but felt my face flush. Apparently I've turned into a giggly teenage girl. Brilliant.

***

Later on that day, we headed back to the hotel and Zacky went to do some extra bribing with Brian and the others while I changed into my pyjamas and got our snack food ready. I have no idea what I'm getting myself into, but Zacky is different to Jimmy and different to Brian, so this will be nice...yeah.

I grinned to myself and then there was a knock on the door. "Hi!" I said happily and he grinned at me. He's in his pyjamas too and he's holding a bottle of vanilla coke. "Oh oh oh!" I cried and grabbed it from him. It's my favourite thing to drink lately and clearly he's remembered. "Come in. You're the best. " I said and stepped out of the way.

He's kinda just standing in the middle of the room and I frowned as I got a glass and poured myself a drink. "Zacky?"

"I'm gonna do something and you have to promise not to freak out." He said quickly and before I barely had a chance to react, he was in front of me...and kissing me!

Oh wow...he soooooo knows what he's doing...

"I...um..." I mumbled when we broke apart. "Wow..." I breathed.

"Sorry. Just another thing I had to do before my head exploded." He apologised and looked at his feet.

"Hey. Don't apologise." I told him and reached to tip his chin up so he was looking at me. "It's ok. I just wasn't expecting it is all." I told him and smiled and eventually, he smiled back. "Let's watch these movies huh?" I giggled and he nodded.

We actually ended up having a really good time. The hotel had some good movies on offer to add to our bill, and it didn't take much coaxing for me to get Zacky to join me under the covers and snuggle.

"Wanna watch another one? Or stay awake for another one?" He chuckled and I realised that the most recent movie, I'd slept halfway through.

"I wanna say yes, but I really dunno if I'll stay conscious." I giggled then yawned.

"Let's sleep then. Go brush your teeth. I'll be back in a second." He told me, climbed out of the bed and disappeared.

I whined when he did. Not because he’s gone per say, but it means I have to attempt to get up without his assistance.

I rolled onto my back fully and had just started my first attempt to get up, when Zacky bust back into the room and came to help me immediately.

“I’m sorry. I forgot you need help.” he apologised and chuckled as he grabbed my hands and pulled me to a sitting position.

“All good. You came back, unlike Brian.” I giggled and hauled myself to my feet and headed to the bathroom.

I brushed my teeth and peed, and by the time I was done, Zacky was just climbing back into the bed.

“How’d you get back in here huh?” I giggled.

“Would you believe magic?” he started and I giggled more. “Batman?” I shook my head and climbed in next to him. “Ok fine. I swiped your room key.” he conceded and we both got comfortable.

“There we go. That’s believable. And you’re much cuter than Batman anyway.” I told him and turned to face him with a grin. He’s blushing and looks like he’s about 15.

“You’re just saying that…” he mumbled. Bingo…you’re good at this Roxy…

“No I’m not Zee.” I started. “Pretty sure I’m the luckiest woman on the planet. I get to spend almost every day with 8 extremely handsome men. And to have any of you be even remotely into me, especially when I look like a beached whale, is pretty freaking awesome.” I told him and he smiled tinily.

“I guess…”

“Don’t be like that!” I whined. “I’m attracted to you. I mean sure, my hormones are fucked beyond belief lately, but I’d be into you either way.” I told him and finally he seemed to believe me. “And since when are you shy?!” I cried and squirmed a bit closer to him.

“Since you apparently have that effect on me. Plus I’m too used to people paying Brian more attention. When I get some myself, I don’t know what to do.” He admitted and I somehow managed to get underneath his arm, so it was around my shoulders.

“Well, you better get used to it. If you can deal with me being pissy, imma be paying you a lot more attention ok?” I told him and he chuckled.

“Sure.”

I yawned then. “Night. Oh…and if the baby kicks you, I’m sorry.” I said and nuzzled into his chest and closed my eyes.

“It’ll do that?” he said a little bit disbelieving.

“Oh hell yeah. If ever I’m with Jimmy, it has a ball kicking him in the liver.” I giggled sleepily.

“Serves him right.” he chuckled. “Still don’t know what you’re having yet huh?”

“No. And I’m not going to till the end.” I muttered and found the almost perfectly comfortable position. Oh yeeeeeah! Do not move Roxy. I repeat…do.not.move!

“Do you want a boy or girl?”

“I dunno really. I’m hoping for a boy so I’d have one of each…I’d be happy with either though.” I told him and smirked internally when he squirmed just a smidge closer to me.

“Jimmy’d love that.” he told me absently and I sighed.

“As much as I love Jimmy, can we stop talking about him? I’m here with you, not him.” I said pointedly. “And do not even think about moving unless its to get closer.” I added when I felt him shift ever so slightly.

“Jesus. Yes ma’am.” he chuckled and I peered up at him. “Never knew you were so snuggly.” he mumbled quietly and looked down at me…well, kinda.

“You need to get used to that too.” I giggled and leaned up as far as I could to kiss him. Nothing like what he gave me a few hours ago and nothing at all like what Jimmy gave me this morning. Just enough to shut him up and assure him I’m happy where I am. “Goodnight.”

“Night.”

When I woke up the next morning, Zacky was gone and I frowned until I rolled over and saw a note on the pillows next to me.

I just went back to my room to have a shower quickly. Hopefully I’ll be back to help you up before you wake up - Z

I grinned and waited patiently, praying to whatever god there is that the baby doesn’t decide to kick me good and hard in the bladder. Zacky came about ten minutes later and grinned when he saw me lying on the bed, waiting for him.

“Morning!” I chirped.

“Morning. I see you got my note.” he chuckled as he came over and went to help me up. I, however, took advantage of our joined hands and tugged him down to me to kiss him. “Well….someones happy this morning.” he smirked when we pulled apart and he pulled me up.

“Someone is. I do have to ask you something though.” I frowned as he pulled me to my feet and he stopped me before I could reply.

“It’s ok. I get it. We can pretend none of the kissing happened. We’ll just tell them you were upset and asked me to stay the night.” he said to me and I gaped a little.

“Wow. You read my mind. Are you sure though? I don’t wanna upset you.” I said and went to pee quickly.

“I’ll be ok.” he told me with a smile when I re emerged form the bathroom. “Yesterday and last night was more than I could have ever hoped for, so I’ll back off for a while. Though if I jump you backstage one night, it’s totally not my fault.” he smirked. “See you downstairs for breakfast?” he asked and I nodded, after snapping out of my little daydream about how good his hair looks out of the shower.

“Yep. See you soon.” I grinned and he kissed me goodbye. It started off all soft and gentle, but by the time he finally tore himself away, it was teeth and tongues and…

“Ok. I gotta go before I need to put that bed to a different use.” He panted and I smirked. “See you soon.” he said and turned to leave.

“Bye.” I breathed and waited till the door had shut before I swooned and had to lean against the wall to calm myself down.

I really don’t know what I’m getting myself in for…but my GOD am I enjoying it.
