2 Hours Later 2
“Hey, sorry you missed us. Leave your name and number and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.” JC listened to Leslie’s voice on the answering machine and smiled.
“Hey it’s me. Where are you? Well, I called to tell you I’ll be home around eleven. See you then. I love you.”
Meanwhile
“Put it on channel twelve.”
“Why?”
“JC’s gonna be on TV.”
“For what?”
“An interview and a surprise guest appearance. Along with the rest of the guys of coarse.
“Special guest?”
“Yeah, at a Britney Spears concert.”
“She is such a babe!”
“Yeah, she’s cute. But she’s a real sweetie too.”
”You want to set me up?”
“Nope.” She told him simply.
Meanwhile
“Why didn’t Leslie come?” Justin asked JC as they sat backstage.
“She said she was too tired.”
“Oh. So, have you told her yet?”
“No. I started to, but her mom called.”
“You better tell her soon.”
“I know. I just don’t want to upset her. That would put stress on her and the baby.” Justin shrugged. They continued sitting back stage and listening to a bit of the concert before they went on stage.
From the bottom of my broken heart there’s just a thing or two I’d like you to know. You were my first love, you were my true love. From the first kisses to the very last rose.
Meanwhile, Leslie and her cousin, Chad, were watching Britney’s performance on television.
Baby, I said please stay. Give our love a chance one more day. We could’ve worked things out… taken time’s what love’s all about.
Flashback (Leslie’s Point of View)
”Please baby. It was such a long time a go.” Leslie pleaded with JC, while he continued to look at her with a cold, icy expression. “I love you.” She said, a tear falling to the ground. “Give me one more chance.”
“There aren’t such things as second chances.”
End of Flashback
Meanwhile
But you put a dart through my dreams, through my heart. And I’m back where I started again. Never thought it would end.
Flashback (JC’s Point of View)
“So are we breaking up or not?”
“I guess so.” JC said. No, I love you. I don’t want us to break up. He thought.
“I’m gone tomorrow morning.”
“Don’t count on me being at the airport.” JC told her. It would hurt too much… Seeing you walk out of my life.
“I wasn’t”
“Oh, well… I guess I’ll say goodbye now.”
End of Flashback
“JC! Snap out of it! We got to go on now!”
“Oh, right. Okay.”
A Half Hour Later
“Chad uh- I need you to drive me to the-“
“I can’t drive you anywhere. My car is in the shop.” He saw the baffled expression on his cousin’s face. “Drive you where?”
“The hospital. My water just broke.”
“Um… Shit! No! Not at my place it didn’t!” Chad began to yell. “Are you sure?”
She nodded.
“Um… Let me call Jeremy. He’s got a car.”
A few minutes later Chad reentered the room. “He’ll be here in ten minutes.”
“Okay. I’ll call JC and the hospital.” Leslie picked up the pone and began to dial. “Um hello. May I please speak to JC Chasez?”
“I’m sorry miss. He’s on stage.”
“How much longer will he be out there?”
“I don’t know. Who is this?”
“His wife.”
“Is something wrong, Mrs. Chasez?”
“Just tell him as soon as you can that the baby is coming. Tell him to meet me at the hospital and that I’ll be fine until he gets there.”
“Will do ma’am.”
“Thank you.” She hung up the phone.
“Dude!” A man about the age of twenty-five barged into Chad’s apartment. “What’s the rush?”
“I need you to drive my baby cousin to the hospital.”
“Baby?”
“Yeah, she’s in your room.”
“A baby in my room? I don’t think so!”
“Dude! She’s not a baby. She’s twenty-three.”
“Oh.” He said a bit calmer, pretending to have known that all along. He then walked into his room.
“Quite a shrine you got here.” Leslie said when he walked in. His jaw dropped.
“You’re… And… You’re on MY bed!”
“Take a breath.” After saying that she grabbed his hand and began to squeeze as a contraction started.
“Chad!” He yelled as her hand gripped his tighter and tighter. “Chad!”
“What? What?” He said running toward his cousin and friend.
“Help me.”
Leslie’s contraction stopped and Jeremy’s hand was released.
“Why didn’t you tell me SHE was your cousin?”
“It slipped my mind?” Chad replied.
“Hello! Pregnant lady needs to get to the hospital.” Leslie interrupted the two friends.
“Can I call a few friends really quick?” Jeremy asked.
“NO!” Leslie and Chad yelled at the same time.
“Please?”
“Let’s go!”
“Okay, okay. Fine! I can always call later.”
After the Concert; Backstage
“Thanks a lot you guys. I really appreciate you all doing this for me.” Britney said, obviously grateful.
“Anything for you Brit.” Justin replied smiling.
“So JC how’s the wife?”
“She’s good.”
“And the baby?”
“Good. Healthy. Should be here in about three weeks.” He stated.
“You expecting a little girl or a little boy?”
“We don’t know. We wanted it to be a surprise.”
“Hey! Maybe you’ll get lucky and get both!” Joey exclaimed.
“Don’t even joke like that.” JC said. Everyone laughed.
“So have you picked out any names yet?”
“No, not really.”
“Well I’m sure whatever you pick out will be a good name.” Britney said confidently.
“Excuse me. Mr. Chasez… Your wife called about a half an hour a go.”
“And?”
“And she told me to tell you that the baby is coming soon.”
“What? It’s too soon!”
“And to meet her at the hospital.” He continued.
JC looked around the room and then fainted.
“Thank you.” Justin said. The man nodded and then left.
“JC? JC? Wake up!” Chris said as he gently smacked JC repeatedly. His eyes fluttered open slowly.
“Let’s go man. We gotta get you to the hospital.” Lance said calmly.
“But it’s too soon!” JC yelled as his friends dragged him to the cars, Britney followed closely behind.
