SEVENTY SEVEN
"Alrighty then," Chance chuckles, "You've both gotten a bj today, everybody's happy, let's finish this show."
Adam whipped his head around to look at Chance and then turned back to glare at Tim. "What the fuck?" He hissed out. "Do you run off and tell Chance every time we fuck?"
Tim's eyes widened in shock before quickly tearing in sadness. "Is that all it is to you? Just fucking?" Tim turned and jogged the few steps to his dressing room and slammed the door. Adam did the same.
"What the hell just happened here?" Rob asked while looking between Austin and Chance.
Austin shook his head, "Dude, I don't have a clue."
"I think I do" Chance said quietly. "They've never been the best at communicating but it's gotten exponentially worse since all this relationship status and baby talk started with the fans. It's hard on both of them but it's worse for Tim. He knows Adam loves him but he's bombarded, everyday, with images of and questions about Adam and Jenika. And Adam is constantly worrying about how Tim is handling everything while also dealing with a pregnant girlfriend. I think they are both more stressed than they are letting on. They snap at each other over the dumbest shit anymore." Chance sighed, "We need to figure something out so they can stop hiding their relationship."
"Okay. So the more pressing question is what do we do with them right now?" Rob stated.
Chance shook is head, "We leave them be. They are both professionals and won't let this show on stage. Maybe by the end of the show they'll have calmed down and realized how hotheaded they each were."
"Let's hope so" Austin sighed "Cause it's time to hit the stage."
The first two songs of the second half went well, relatively speaking. Neither Adam nor Tim were as playful as normal but they interacted as scripted and nobody messed anything up. Adam stayed on stage for his drum solo while the rest of the guys headed off.
Tim stood just off stage watching Adam wow the audience. He had already started thinking about what had happened and how he had overreacted. Jenika walked up next him and put her arm around his waist. "You know that's not what he meant right?" She said quietly.
"I know" Tim sighed. He turned to look at Jenika, "I don't know what's wrong with me. Every little thing seems to irritate me anymore." Tim sighed again and turned back to watch Adam.
Jenika suddenly giggled. "Oh my gosh, Tim give me your hand."
Tim didn't move but just looked at her questioningly. Jenika reached over and took his hand, placing it on her belly.
"Woah" Tim's eye grew wide as he felt movement under his hand. "What the heck?"
"The baby is moving, Tim" Jenika said quietly.
"That is so weird and cool, at the same time" Tim chuckled. He turned his head to look at Adam again and then back at Jenika, "What did Adam think when he first felt it?"
Jenika smiled shyly, "He hasn't felt it yet. This is the first time the movements have been strong enough to feel from the outside."
Tim knelt down in front of Jenika and whispered to her belly, "Thank you, little man. I know you don't know about the craziness that is going on out here but I needed that tonight. You may not be biologically mine but I promise to treat you as if you were my own. I love you."
Jenika teared up listening to him to speak. Tim stood and pulled Jenika into a hug. They held each other until time for him to return to the stage.
Adam stood just off stage drinking a bottle of water after his solo. Jenika walked up beside him and put her arm around his waist, "You know he doesn't really think that, right?"
"I know" Adam sighed, "I overreacted." He turned to look at Jenika, "I don't know why but it seems like every little thing irritates me lately."
Adam was silent for a moment before a small smile crept across his face. "Will you help me with something?" he asked Jenika. She nodded her head slowly while giving Adam a suspicious look. He whispered in her ear before quickly finishing his water and heading back on stage.
Jenika sighed as she watched him join the other guys. 'Those two are going to be the death of me,' she thought to herself.
^*^*^*^*^*^*
Adam ran back to his dressing room after the signing line. He grabbed his clothes and bolted from the venue before the other guys had even made it backstage. He ran all the way down the corridor that connected the venue to the hotel and fidgeted in the elevator that seemed to be taking forever to get to his floor.
Adam burst through the door to his room and went to straight to the bathroom to take a quick shower. After the shower he wrapped a towel around his waist and entered the main room to see if Jenika had shared his vision. She had just finished up and was about to sneak out the door when Adam came out of the bathroom.
"Thank you" Adam said as he grabbed her wrist to keep her from leaving just yet. "I love that we can help each other out with these things and not get jealous."
Jenika placed her hand on the side of Adam's face and stroked his cheek with her thumb. "Adam, I'll do whatever I can to make sure this works between all of us. Can I make a suggestion though?" Adam nodded his head. "Please, sit down and talk about this. Don't just apologize and move straight to make-up sex." She smiled at him as she finished her sentence.
"I had already planned on that but thank you for your suggestion." Adam pulled Jenika into a hug and was whispering 'thank you, again' in her ear when he heard the door open.
Adam stepped away from Jenika as he looked towards the door and saw Tim standing there with a mixture of emotions on his face.
"Oh, uh, sorry." Tim said as he looked down at his feet and started to back towards the door. He wanted to talk to Adam about what happened during the show but apparently now wasn't a good time.
"No, Tim wait." Adam said as he took another step away from Jenika.
"I didn't know you had plans tonight" Tim mumbled. "I'll just go sleep on Chance's floor." He said as he opened the door. "Sorry, for interrupting."
"Timothy Regan Foust, STOP right there!" Adam shouted.
Tim hadn't heard Adam yell at him in a long time. He stopped and turned around waiting for Adam to give him a reason to stay.
"I'm going to go." Jenika said quietly. "Talk to him." She mouthed at Adam before walking out the door.
Did everyone catch the mention of the baby's gender? I know I've kept you all waiting for many chapters but it's alluded to in this one.
To be continued...
