Joey's POV*

I grumbled as I rolled over and cuddled into Ashley. I buried my face into her shoulder as I laid my hand gently on her stomach.

I was guessing that she was still asleep since she hadn't moved. I gently kissed her skin and watched her squirm. I let out a small laugh.

I continued to lay there and admire her. Her tanned skin, and her long, dark hair. But the one thing thing I loved most about her appearance, would have to be her bright brown eyes.

I pressed small kisses against her neck, waiting her for wake up and notice. She rolled over and faced me. "Joey, babe, do you mind?" She mumbled.

I laughed, "Nope."

She groaned and buried her head into my chest. "Why?" She whined.

"Because I love you." I smiled.

"I love you too." She muttered.

She must've fell asleep, because after awhile she was quiet. I just let my mind drift, daydreaming. I wondered how life would be after our baby was born. Especially with the band, and Ashley's career. For the first time I could say that I was scared starting a family. I know that Hotch and JJ had families, I wondered how they did it.

After a few minutes, I decided that I didn't need to fear. Because I knew that God has this, He's going to help us.

Understand that you're just man, and trust me child, I have a plan. I am in control, and I won't let you go.

Those lyrics kept going through my head. I still remember God's presence when we recorded the song, and every time we sing it.

My thoughts were interrupted by Ashley continuously kissing my jaw. "Joey!" She whined.

"What Ashley?" I asked.

"I love you!" She grinned.

I laughed, "I love you too baby."

"I'm hungry." She pouted.

"Wow. You went from a loving mood to being hungry in 2.5 seconds. New record." I teased.

She playfully hit my chest with her fist. She sighed, "Shut up. I'm really hungry and I want fruit, and I just lay in bed all day but I want food."

I grinned, "The baby's getting to you."

"I just need food!" She groaned.

"Once we leave, we're stopping by IHop." I laugh again.

"Oo! Pancakes, and nutella sounds really good." She smirks.

"You're going crazy." I joke.

"Stop. It's not funny." She whines.

"Of course it is, darlin'." I smile, adapting a fake accent for a moment.

"Darlin'?" She asks, repeating me.

I nod, "Yep!"

She groaned again and I kissed her forehead. "I wanna cuddle." She pouts.

"I thought we were." I laugh. She scooted closer, even though there was no space in between us. She buried her face into my chest again as I wrapped my arm around her waist.

"There. That's better." She mumbled.

Alan popped his head into our room. "Hey, guys. Come on. Get ready." He states, "We're getting ready to leave."

"You said we're stopping by IHop right?" I ask.

"Yeah. Not wanting pancakes this morning Joe?" He laughs, raising an eyebrow.

"No. Ashley wants pancakes, fruit and nutella." I respond.

"Just wait. The cravings are only starting and they get worse and crazier." He grins.

"Oh great." I laugh, rolling my eyes.

Ashley punches my chest again. "Hey! The child's half yours." She grumbles.

"I was kidding. Calm down babe." I reply, kissing her forehead.

"Alright. Come on guys." Alan urges.

I nod, "Okay. Okay. We're getting up."

Alan rolls his eyes and shuts the door. I try to get up, but Ashley tightens her grip on my torso. "I don't wanna get up." She whines.

"We're getting food." I bribe.

"Ugh. Fine." She groans. Ashley let go of me and rolled over. I laughed as she got up. She glared at me. I got up and walked behind her. I wrapped my arms around her and laid my head on her shoulder. She looked at my reflection in the mirror.

"I love you." I whispered. I pressed a small kiss again her neck, just under her ear.

"I love you too." She smiled.

~*~*~*~

As we sat down at IHop, Alan started talking. "I've been thinking, and I feel like Anthem Lights needs a new chapter."

"Like a new album?" Chad asks.

"That's the thing. I don't know what we need. Either an original album or another cover album." Alan shrugs.

"Well, we're already working on covers after the tour." Caleb comments.

"Not to mention the album we released just like seven months ago." Chad sighs.

"What about a fifth member?" Ashley suggests.

"Why not? It'd be big for the band." I nod.

"Sure. We can call a few people, and if need be; we can always call Kyle. See if he'd be interested in joining again." Alan agrees.

"What about Spencer Kane? I heard that he was auditioning for a bunch of different bands." Ashley shrugs.

"Yeah. We'll call him on our way to Sioux Falls." Alan smiles.

Our waitress came and took our orders. I grinned as Ashley ordered her fruit-filled everything.

We talked more as we waited. It was mainly Ashley asking Alan questions about this whole pregnancy thing. They mainly talked about what Brycie went through with the girls, and suggestions for doctors.

"What are y'all gonna do for doctor visits?" Chad asks.

"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. I only found out yesterday." Ashley shrugs.

"We could just fly home, and then join you guys again. I'm sure that if we just say that it's family stuff, the fans will understand." I suggest.

The guys nodded as our food came. Once we all got our own food and everything was situated, we began to pray then ate.

"Okay, so if you guys are doing that, I'll send one of the team with you guys and the rest will stay here." Agent Hotchner informs.

"Sounds good." I nod. I was still a little upset at him, but I was trying to forgive him. Ashley grabbed my hand as she saw that I was trying to calm myself.

"Babe, it's okay." She whispers.

"Sorry." I muttered. She released my hand and leaned over to kiss my cheek. She, then, placed her hand on my upper thigh.

It wasn't long until we were finished eating and payed, then boarded the bus once again. Once we were settled, we're off to South Dakota. Caleb was currently on the phone with Spencer Kane, and the rest of us were watching movies on Netflix.

For something new to watch, we all agreed on the Ghost Adventures Collection. Ashley seemed unfazed by it, but it interested me. Especially the Hellfire Caves episode in England.

"Ugh. They're not doing it right." Ashley groaned.

"What? They're just talking to the spirit." Chad sighs.

"They're angering it. It's surprising that they haven't gotten hurt." She mumbles.

"Babe, it's just a show." I whisper.

"Can we watch The Magic School Bus?" Caleb asks.

I perk up. "Yeah! Let's watch it. Please Alan." I beg.

Alan rolls his eyes and groans, "Fine."

"You guys are such kids." Ashley laughs.

"You love me." I smirk.

"I do love you, dork." She smiles. I lean in to quickly kiss her.

"Thanks Ash." Caleb says sarcastically.

"You're welcome." She grins.

"Anyway. What did Spencer say?" Alan asks.

"He's gonna join us at the next stop so we can talk about it. But other than that, he said that he's interested." Caleb answers.

•A/N•

Hey! Double update today. Anyway, tell me your thoughts on bringing in Spencer Kane. I'll figure out a way to tell between the two Spencers.

This chapter and the last chapter were mainly just fillers. So I'm hoping to get some more action into here.

Give me some ideas, comment or message me. I love reading comments and listening to your ideas.
