"Oh Nick." Jane got up to give him a hug. "The doctor came by a few minutes ago, we can see Amy now."
"What happened?"
"I'll let Amy tell you herself." Jane led her son down a long corridor and into a small room.
"Amy!" Nick ran towards me as I was getting ready to leave and gave me a hug. "What happened?"
"Nick, I lost the baby," I answered weakly before I started sobbing. "The doctor told me it was from all the stress of touring."
Nick's face paled. "Then it's all my fault. Amy, I'm so sorry."
"I-it's not your fault Nick. I should have taken it easy when I found out that I was pregnant."
"Do you guys want to leave now?" Jane asked.
"Yeah, actually we might as well head back to Canada too. Brian called right after you left and we have a concert tomorrow that we forgot about."
Jane nodded. "Okay. Are you going to be okay Amy?"
I wiped my eyes. "Yeah, I think so. Thank you for everything Jane."
"Anytime," Jane answered as we walked out of the hospital room.
A Few Hours Later
"Well if it isn't the happy couple," Nicole said as Nick and I walked into the living room of the tour bus where everyone was gathered. "What did the doctor say?"
I took a deep breath. "I-I lost the baby." Tears started to fill my eyes again as the room fell silent.
Kari was the first one to speak. "Ohmigod Amy." She gave me a hug. "I'm so sorry."
Nicole gave me a hug too. "I'm sorry Amy. I know how much this meant to you."
"Thank you," I whispered. "If you guys don't mind, I'm going to lie down now."
Nick squeezed my hand. "I'll come see you later, okay?"
I nodded numbly as I walked to the bunk room.
The Next Day
"Amy?" Kari shook me awake. "I have something really important to tell you."
"What is it?" I groaned. "And what time is it?"
"It's almost noon. Look, just like come to the living room, I have to tell you all."
I got out of bed and quickly got dressed. I quickly brushed my hair and pulled it up into a messy bun. My eyes had bags underneath them, so I quickly put on some makeup so that way I would at least look descent.
I walked into the living room, where everyone was already sitting. There were no more seats left, so I sat on Nick's lap.
"How you holding up?" Nick whispered to me.
"I'm doing better. What about you, are you okay?"
"I'm getting over the initial shock."
"All right, are you guys ready?" Kari asked. "This is something that may shock you but-"
"Just tell us already!" AJ whined impatiently.
"Okay. All you all know, I was having some drinking problems. So when I started throwing up in the morning, I thought that was the cause. Then, I started putting on a little weight. The whole thing never occurred to me until I went to the doctor's yesterday." Kari paused. "I'm pregnant and having twins."
"You are?" Brian asked happily, jumping up to give her a hug. "Sweetie, that's great!"
"No it's not, and for two reasons. One, I'm already three months pregnant, and because I was drinking heavily the babies might have been affected. Number two, I am not ready to be a mother."
"What?" Brian screamed.
"Hold on, there's more. Now, I've been thinking about this all night and came to a logical conclusion. Amy, when the babies are born I want you and Nick to adopt them. I know how much having a child meant to you and it's not fair that someone who isn't ready should raise them."
"Kari, you would do that for us?" Nick asked.
"No, because you are having those kids and they will be ours!" Brian yelled. "Didn't you even consider that I might want the kids? After all, I am the father!"
"Brian, I am not ready to have a child, let alone twins!" I could tell Kari was really upset because when she gets like that she stops saying "like" after every other word.
"What if I am?!"
"Brian," Kevin said calmly. "With your career, there is no way that you could raise the kids. I think it's a good idea for Kari to give Amy and Nick the babies, if Amy is ready to take care of them."
"Of course I am!" I said happily. "Brian, I'm begging you, please let Nick and I adopt the kids. You have no idea what it would mean to us."
Brian was silent for a few minutes, and then finally spoke. "All right, if Kari isn't ready to become a mother, then I don't want her taking care of my children. You can adopt them as soon as they're born. I just want one favor. Can I name them?"
Nick and I nodded. "Of course."
"Good." Then he turned his attention to Kari. "But you...I never want to see you again. And I really mean it this time," Brian said coldly before getting up and storming to the bunk room.
Kari sat in shock for a few moments and then ran out of the room crying.
"Okay, that was weird," AJ said.
"I've never seen Brian so upset before," Howie said. "I hate to say it, but I really think Brian meant what he said this time."
