Mike took my hand and squeezed. I smiled at him and looked back to the doctor. He smiled reassuringly. "So, everything's okay?" I asked anxiously.
"Everything is perfectly normal," the doctor replied easily.
"Then why are you offering me the scan at eighteen weeks? I wouldn't need a scan if everything was normal,"
"You would," he told me. "It's to make sure there aren't any abnormalities. Routine stuff,"
"Great," Mike sighed in relief.
"Is there anything else you need to ask me before you move on? You understand everything?"
"Yeah," I nodded.
"Brilliant," the doctor smiled.
"Will any problems come up? You know, because of the touring," Mike said.
"As long you're not taking hard drugs and giving yourself alcohol poisoning, you should be fine,"
"Thanks," I laughed.
"But you should take it easy near the end. How long is this tour?"
"It should take me up to eight months," I replied.
"You'll be getting tired and exhausted, so don't over work yourself," the doctor warned.
"Don't worry, she doesn't do much as it is," Mike teased and I glared at him.
"There's one more thing, doctor. It's kind of awkward," I muttered.
"Kay', not now," Mike sighed.
"Please," the doctor urged.
"You see, my dad left when I was young and I haven't seen him since. But I've seen photos and in them his ears are large. I was wondering if you'd be able to tell the ear size in the scan?"
"The ear size," he echoed.
"She's serious," Mike smiled wryly.
"Perhaps. It'll be best to ask the team,"
"Okay, thanks," I smiled.
"If there are any problems call the nearest hospital," he said.
"We will, thank you," Mike said. We stood up and Mike wrapped his arm around my shoulders. We started walking out if the hospital and onto the street. I could see the tour bus parked in a car park in the distance. Mike pulled me along and I smiled. I looked up to him and he beamed back at me.
"Mike?"
"Hmm?" he asked.
"I love you," I breathed softly.
"I love you and I love our boy," he replied and placed his hands on my stomach.
"Might be a girl," I said and he took his hand away.
"It won't," he frowned.
"He could be a pussy. You know, run away from assholes bad mouthing his dad's band,"
"Do we need to go through your history and mine again?" Mike teased.
"He's probably going to be sharing his drugs with you,"
"He won't be into drugs," Mike shook his head.
"I bet that's what your dad said," I teased.
"Shut it," Mike played. He leant down and crushed his lips to mine. I smiled and kissed him back. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he pulled me to him. I looked up and saw we were in the car park.
"Mike," I breathed.
"Shh. . ." he muttered and started to kiss my neck. I dug my nails into his shoulders. Mike pushed me towards the bus. I leant back against it and held his face to mine. "What about the bet?" he asked.
"You think I care? Name him whatever you want," I growled. Mike laughed and reached for the door handle. I stepped back, not breaking away from Mike. Mike saw Jaime and Tony looking at us with raised eyebrows.
"The bet," Tony reminded me. I kissed Mike again passionately and raised my middle finger to them. Mike chuckled and we broke away. He held my hand and pulled me through to the bunks. I climbed into mine and he did too. He closed the curtain and climbed on top of me. Mike was just about to crush his lips to mine again when we both stopped. We could hear a moaning coming from nearby. I listened harder and Mike rolled off of me.
"Vic!" we heard Ellie scream out.
"I'm suddenly not feeling in the mood," I muttered.
"This may be a first, but me either," Mike grumbled.
"Can we go into the front lounge?" I asked.
"Yeah," Mike nodded quickly. We got out of the bunk as Ellie gasped. I rolled my eyes and we walked back into the front lounge.
"That was quick," Jaime commented as we sat down.
"We didn't do anything," I told him.
"So the bet's still on?" Tony asked.
"Yeah, thanks to Ellie," I muttered.
"What?" Jaime asked.
"Vic is giving it to her good," Mike nodded.
"Don't know what he's doing to the poor girl, but I'd hate to be in the bunk below," I added. Then we heard a knocking at the bus door. I looked up, waiting for one of the guys to answer it. They smiled to themselves and I rolled my eyes. "Lazy," I grumbled. I got up and went to the door. I opened it and gasped. Matty was standing in front of me. "What the hell are you doing here?!" I exclaimed. I jumped out and he caught me. Matty held me and hugged me tight. I laughed and we went inside.
"I thought you might like to see me. I've been recording out here," he explained.
"And you're only just telling me this now!" I frowned playfully.
"Sorry, but Mike could have told you,"
"Mike wouldn't do that. He's an asshole," I told him seriously.
"Of course he is," Matty smiled. We went over to the sofa and sat down. "Hi guys," Matty nodded.
"Hey," they replied.
"How's the baby?" he asked urgently.
"Fine," I laughed.
"How's Ellie?" Matty asked quietly.
"At this second, very happy," Mike chuckled.
"What?"
"Vic is screwing her," I rolled my eyes. We heard footsteps and Vic walked out into the front lounge, his hair messy. We all raised our eyebrows at him and he looked down, smirking.
"What?" Vic asked. "Oh, hey Matty," he added.
"Hi," Matty smiled.
"Where's Ellie?" I asked as Vic sat opposite me.
"Here," Ellie said. She looked a little ruffled and as she smiled her cheeks flushed. "I'm going for a shower,"
"No you're not!" I exclaimed.
"Sorry?"
"Just because Victor gave it to you good doesn't mean you can use all the water up!"
"Fine," Ellie sighed. "I'll just have a wash down," she rolled her eyes and walked away.
"You really don't like her. Do you?" Jaime asked.
"She annoys me," I shrugged.
"You okay, Kay'?" Matty asked seriously.
"Yeah," I nodded.
"I just-"
"What?"
"I haven't seen you act like that since high school," he said carefully.
"Really?" I sighed. "Sorry,"
"What does that mean?" Mike asked.
"That she's going to bring out the worst in Kay'. How she used to be," Matty replied and wrapped his arm around me.
