Chapter Thirty-Seven
Joey's POV*
After the concert, we stayed the night in a hotel outside of Souix Falls. Once we got settled in, we all headed for bed.
I placed my arm around Ashley as I laid down. "Baby?" I ask.
"Hm?" She responded.
"What was going on at the concert?" I ask.
She sighs, "Chief, he called the team back to Nashville. We haven't had anything in almost two weeks. It's inactive."
"What? The person is hardly inactive." I mumble.
"I know. Morgan and Emily is staying." She whispers.
"That's good. I'm sure that everything will be okay." I soothe.
"Yeah." She mutters. Not even a minute later, she's asleep.
I kiss her forehead, "I love you babe. I'm so glad that I met you nine years ago."
~*~*~
Unlike yesterday, Ashley woke up first. And instead of waking me up normally, she decided to have a little fun. Basically, she woke me up by tickling me and continually kissing my neck and jaw.
We just have a really weird relationship and marriage, in general. We acted like children at times, we were romantic at times, trying to be funny, or being serious.
"Babe, I just remembered that our anniversary is in three months." I whisper.
"It is. I can't believe that it'll be four years." She smiles.
"I know. Four wonderful years with the love of my life." I replied.
"I love you." She giggles.
"I love you more." I smirk, kissing her lips.
"Nuh-uh. We are not doing that again." She groaned.
"I love you more than you know." I mumble. Her hand slid down my chest as she pressed a kiss against my lips.
~*~*~
"So, bro. What are y'all gonna do for your anniversary this year?" Alan asks.
"I don't know. We're still gonna be on the road, and Ashley's gonna be showing. We're trying to keep the pregnancy quiet from the fans for now." I sigh.
"With Avery, Brycie really didn't start showing until about month five." Alan shrugs, "It wasn't until Pres when Brycie started showing early."
"I was wanting to take her out to dinner somewhere. Some place fancy." I replied as I sat back.
"Just remember; no champagne or wine." Chad jokes, slapping my shoulder.
I looked at him. I shook my head, "Yeah, I know. I'm not a complete dummy with this pregnant situation."
"Just making sure." He smirks.
"I have baby cousins and all. Just waiting on Kenny and Donald." I laugh. "And you two."
"I don't know. Fallon's wanting a baby." Chad mumbled.
"So does Kels." Caleb sighed.
"It's really not that bad, guys." I rolled my eyes.
"It's really great actually. I don't know what I'd do without my girls." Alan grins.
"Are you kidding? Kelsey made getting a puppy a big deal." Chad laughs.
"True." Alan nods. Caleb groaned and rolled his eyes.
"You know, I never imagined actually starting a family until now." I shrug. "Like I've wanted too, I just didn't imagine it."
"It's God's will." Alan replies.
"That it is, me amigo." Chad laughs.
"All of this is crazy." I state, shaking my head.
"What is?" Kane asked, walking towards us.
"Just this whole tour. Ashley came to visit us in DC, she ended up having to stay with us. She got into fight, and we had a giant argument not to long ago, and now she's pregnant." I explain.
"Wow man. You've been through a lot." Kane mumbles.
"Eh. With Ashley's career, even crazy is normal." I shrug.
"What exactly does she do?" He ask.
"Depends. Which time?" Alan jokes.
Kane looked at me with his eyebrows raised. I laughed, "Right now, she's a Profiler for the BAU. She's been in so many different departments and sorts."
"Mainly child crimes." Ashley's voice rang through. I looked up at her, she looked exhausted and had a blanket wrapped around her. She walked through everyone and curled up next to me. I placed my arm around her and kissed her temple.
"Hey babe." I whispered.
"Hey." She mumbled.
"Child crimes?" Kane questioned.
"Crimes involving children, or crimes committed by children." She shrugs.
"Dang." Kane mutters.
"Oh! I've been thinking." Ashley starts.
"Yeah?" I reply.
"We should do a little contest with everyone. You know? Just us and the girls." She starts. I looked to the guys. They shrugged.
"What contest?" Chad asks.
"Like a gender contest. Just for fun." She grins. She looked up at me with a pleading look.
"It's up to the guys, but other than that, it's up to you." I laugh.
"It's a boy." Chad said automatically. Ashley laughs and shakes her head.
"I'm going to say a girl." Caleb mumbles.
"Boy." Alan nods.
Kane laughs, "I'm gonna take a wild whack, and say both."
"Guys." Ashley whines, "FaceTime with the girls. They're in this too."
Alan laughs as he gets his phone. Chad and Caleb do the same thing. Not even minutes later, their wives are on their screens.
"Hey, so Ashley and Joe have something to say." Alan smirks.
"What is it?" Kelsey asks.
Ashley grins, "I'm pregnant."
"Finally!" Brycie squeals.
"Chad! I want a baby." Fallon whines.
"Better get to work on that, Chadwick." I snicker.
"Joseph." Chad mutters.
"Anyway!" Ashley starts, interrupting our bro-battle. "I want to do a little contest. Deciding the baby's gender."
"Chad and Alan called boy; Caleb called girl, and Kane called both." I smirked.
"Girl!" Kelsey shouted. I heard Ashley laugh at Kelsey's reaction. I smiled down at Ashley, kissing her cheek.
"Boy." Fallon smirks.
"I don't know." Brycie mumbled, "Boy."
"So, Chad, Al, Fallon and Brycie say boy; Kelsey and Caleb called girl, and Kane called both." I announce.
"What about you?" Ashley asks me.
"Girl." I answer.
"Ashley, what about you?" Kelsey asks.
Ashley looked down at her stomach, the up at me. She smiled, "I've always wanted a boy."
"Joseph Jr, JJ." I smirk.
"As much as I love your name, no. One Joseph is enough." She laughs.
"Awh." I whine.
"Sorry babe." She giggles, kissing my cheek.
"Poor Joe. Rejected!" Kane jokes.
"You look so upset." Fallon giggles. I frowned.
"I am." I pout.
"I love you!" Ashley smiles sweetly. I cross my arms and stick out my bottom lip. I look at her and give puppy eyes. She groans, "No. Don't do that."
"Hmpf!" I grunt and turn away from her.
"Babe, come on. Don't do this." She whines. I shake my head, but don't leave my position. "Baby! I love you."
I just ignore her. "Uh, Joe." Alan warns, "It looks like she's gonna cry."
I groaned and turned around. Tears had started to gather in her eyes. "Babe, come on. Don't cry." I sigh as I wrap her in my arms. "I was just playing." I whisper, "I love you."
"Awh. Goals." Kane smirks.
"What?" I asked, looking up.
"Goals. Like relationship goals." He explains. We all look at him, confused. He groaned, "Gosh. You all are old."
"I'm only 28." I glared.
"Yeah. I'm 21. You're still old." Kane laughs.
"Hey! I'm only 32." Alan mumbled.
"I'm only 27." Ashley mutters.
"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry." Kane laughs.
The guys continued to talk to their wives. Ashley laid her head in my lap and ended up falling asleep. I ran my fingers through her hair. The guys eventually said bye to their wives and hung up. Then turned on some movie.
•A/N•
Okay, so there'll probably be more scenes like this.^^^^ I loved writing for some reason.
Guys, I really need ideas. How much longer should this book be?
Ugh. Anyway, vote and comment!
