……………….. “Morning” I walked into the room set up for all of us to eat in
“Wow I really thought we’d have been throwing water over you to get you out of bed” Chad laughed pushing his plate away. “What time did you end up going to bed?”
“About 20 minutes after you left” I poured a glass of juice and sat down next to Pete Lukas walked in with Kerion.
“Ahh good you’re all here” he smiled “Album”
“Excuse me?” I shook my head Lukas sat down
“You guys need to get an album done and out” Mike butted in
“Can we do that while were touring?” Pete questioned
“Yes… it’s harder but you can do it” Lukas nodded
“When?” I looked round at them
“Well we have another week here in Russia” Lukas flipped open his laptop and tapped away “and then we do the shows back at Ramstein before going to Afghanistan for Christmas” “After that you guys get two weeks off”
“Do we get to go home at least for a couple of days?” Alfie asked
“Sure but it can only be for four days tops” Lukas said firmly “Chad’s offered the use of the recording studio he has at his place” Lukas looked at Chad
“It’s easier I have six bedroom you can all stay there and these guys are still close enough to help out: he pointed to the others
“Canada” Kerion tipped his head
‘Well Yes I’m Canadian” Chad laughed
“Awesome” Alfie beamed
“Sounds like a plan” I nodded getting up I slipped my arms into my jacket “I’ll wait for you guys in the car” I picked up my purse and walked out
“Okay what did you say to upset her” Ryan poked Chad “You didn’t get in her face again did you?”
“No she was fine when I left the bar… I asked if she was going to bed and she said she’d be up when she’d made a phone call” he shrugged
“Who did she call? Kerion asked quickly “ I hope to god it wasn’t Dimitri”
“I don’t know” Chad shook his head. They all looked at each other and scrabbled to their feet.
I slid into the warmth of the waiting car as my phone rang

Miranda * sorry so what were you doing that you couldn’t tear yourself away from to talk to me?
Me * Well first hold on I’m sending you a picture
I forwarded the picture of me with Kellan from the photo shoot that I’d waved in Dimitri’s face. There was a squeal and a thud on the other end of the phone
Me * Mir you there?
Miranda * Damn you woman that’s so damn hot it’s like soft porn

Me * No the guys were in the bar and didn’t see him but I certainly unloaded on him… I don’t think I really gave him the chance to say anything
Miranda * nice
Me * I didn’t cry in front of him but then I was still on a high from the afternoon
The guys pilled in the car and looked at me I smiled and shook my head at them

Me * okay I have to go and I’m sorry I missed your calls yesterday
Miranda * hey getting kissed all over by Mr. Lutz is a perfect excuse… we love you Chris
Me * Love you too
I hung up and looked round the car
“What?”
“It’s scary when my Name gets mentioned and then a few sentences later the word pregnant” Chad pulled a face
“Eaves dropping is naughty” I chucked I was winding up Miranda
‘Okay so who’s knocked up?” Alfie prodded my knee
“Reba”……………………………
