Anatome (Jaime Preciado/Pierce The Veil)

Alexis's POV

~2 months later

Two months had passed and the band were going to play their final show. We were sad that tour was almost over but I was looking forward to meeting Lights and discuss me being part of her crew. Jolie, Erin, Kenadee and I were at the local hospital so Erin and I could get check ups on our babies and Erin was going to find out what gender her baby is.

"What gender would you like?" Jolie asks as we sat down in the hospital waiting room.

"Tony wants a boy and I'm not really bothered, I'll be happy if the baby's healthy." Erin says. Her stomach had vastly increased in size and so had mine. We were both at the stage where we were starting to need help for certain things but we weren't completely reliable on everyone.

"What about you Lex?" Jolie asks.

"Jaime's convinced the little bean is a girl and I'm now hoping it's a girl too." I said. Tony and Jaime suddenly emerge in the waiting room.

"Sorry, sound check dragged on." Jaime pants and Tony collapses next to Erin.

"Aww, did little turtle have to run?" Erin mocks and pinches Tony's cheek.

"Yes, I did. Well, WE did actually." Tony said, indicating to himself and Jaime.

"I'm shattered." Jaime whines and gently rests his head on my bump.

"Poor you." I say and kiss his lips.

"Erin and Tony." A female nurse says. Erin waves to us and her & Tony follow the nurse.

"Do you want to come with us or will you wait here?" I ask Jolie as Jaime and Kenadee have a conversation about Disney princesses.

"We'll wait here. We don't want to intrude on this." Jolie says.

"Alexis and Jaime." A different nurse says. Jaime and I stand up and we walk with the nurse to our room.

"Hello, I'm going to check your baby. Is that alright?" A middle aged male doctor asks as we enter the room. I nod and lie on the hospital bed. Jaime sits beside me and holds my hand. The doctor lifts my shirt, squeezes gel onto my stomach and starts checking the baby.

"Alright, your baby looks perfectly healthy." He says as he checks the baby.

"Even though it's a little early, I can clearly tell what the gender is. Would you like to know?" He asks us. Jaime and I look at each other then nod at the doctor.

"You're having a girl!" He says.

"I knew it! I knew it! I told you and I was right!" Jaime says and looks really pleased with himself.

"I'm assuming that's the gender you wanted?" The doctor says and smiles at us.

"Yeah, we did." I say and smile at Jaime who looked like he was on top of the world right now.

"I'll do some minor tests then you're free to go." The doctor says. After ten minutes, we finally get to leave. We meet up with Tony, Erin, Jolie and Kenadee.

"Boy!" Erin squeals.

"Girl!" I squeal. We both laugh and hug each other.

"Who knows? When our kids are old enough, they may get together!" Tony said and I laughed.

"Congratulations!" Jolie squeals.

"Who are you telling about the gender of the baby?" Jolie asks us as we exit the hospital and head to the venue.

"I'm going to announce it to everyone that knows about the baby." Erin says and Tony links his hand with hers.

"We're telling our closest friends and parents. We're still keeping my brothers out of it and letting the fans wait until D-day." Jaime says for both of us. We grin at each other and continue heading to the venue. We arrive and are instantly let backstage.

"Hey, sound check's just ben finished! How did the appointments go?" Mike asks as he and Vic see us.

"It was good. We found out the genders." Tony says.

"Ooh, what are they?" Vic says.

"We're having a boy!" Erin squeals.

"Aww, congratulations!" Vic and Mike say.

"What about you?" Mike asks.

"It's a secret." Jaime taps and we both tap our noses.

"You all know, don't you?" Vic says, pointing to Jolie, Kenadee, Erin and Tony. The four of them start whistling awkwardly and pretend to look thoughtful.

"Why are you not telling us?" Mike says.

"I made it very clear a few months ago that I wont tell you after what you said when I revealed that I was pregnant." I say.

"Oh, that..." Vic trails off.

"Yes, that." I say sharply.

"Going on stage in five minutes." A technician shouts to us. We all nod and the guys get their equipment.

"Are you's coming to the front of the stage?" I ask Erin, Kenadee and Jolie.

"Yeah, it's the last show. We should view it in style." Jolie says and we all grin at each other. A tech hands Kenadee a pair of headphones to protect her ears, we all put our ear buds in, I grab my camera and we head to the front of the stage. Seeing as the guys hadn't come on stage yet, Erin and I were mobbed by fans about our babies.

"Oh my god, congratulations!"

"OMG, you're having a child with a band member!"

These were some of the things that were said to us.

"What are the genders?" A girl asks.

"Tony and I are having a boy." Erin says and the crowd cheer ecstatically.

"What about you, Alexis?" A guy asked me.

"It's being kept a secret till D-day." I say and tap my nose. Three fans were really kind and had bought us baby clothes, which we were really grateful for. I gave them a signed poster and a signed copy of Collide With The Sky, which they were really happy about. The lights dimmed then the guys came on and the concert started. The guys played:

Besitos

Caraphernelia

The New National Anthem

Bulletproof Love

Fast Times At Clairemont High

Stained Glass Eyes And Colourful Tears

One Hundred Sleepless Nights

Hold On Till May

A Match Into Water

May These Noises Startle You In Your Sleep/Hell Above

The guys bowed to the crowd and ran off stage. The rest of u headed backstage and waited there until the guys had finished at the meet and greet. They came back after an hour and arrived with loads of baby clothes. We were told that a few fans had gotten us baby clothes, which we were once again, grateful for. We headed back to the bus and started packing.

"Erin! Your clothes are over flowing my suitcase!"

"Mike, where is my toothbrush?!"

"Jaime, where did you put my aftershave?!"

"Where is my turtle?!"

These are some of the statements that were said from the guys as they rushed to pack. Erin, Jolie and I had been sensible enough to pack the day before and I had helped Kenadee pack away her clothes.

"This is your own fault for leaving it to the last minute!" I yell to the guys who whine back at me.

"We'll never catch our plane at this rate." Erin whines and flops onto the sofa.

When does the plane leave?" I ask.

"In an hour and a half." Jolie says. A thought occurs to me.

"Guys! The plane leaves in half an hour! Move your asses!" I shout. I hear whimpers and cries then loads of noises as we see the guys run around really fast.

"I can't believe you done that again!" Erin exclaims and laughs.

"I'm assuming she done this at the beginning of tour?" Jolie asks.

"Maybe..." I trail off, sounding like a child. Ten minutes later, the guys run through and dump their stuff at the entrance of the bus door.

"Alexis Fuentes!" I hear Vic shout. Oh, they found out already.

"The plane leaves in over an hour!" Vic yells from the other side of the bus.

"It's called making my slow ass brothers, boyfriend and un-biologically related brother speed pack!" I yell back.

"I can't believe you done that again." Jaime pants and sits beside me. Kenadee giggles at his tiredness and starts poking his stomach.

"Right, we're ready now." Mike says as he carries his last bag through.

"Alright." We pile our bags and suitcases in the van provided for our journey to the airport and Tony drives us to the airport. We arrive within fifteen minutes, we go through security and wait in the airport waiting room. Our flight number gets called out and we board the plane. Jaime and I sit together, Jolie and Kenadee are sat in front of us, Vic and Mike sit on the opposite side and Tony and Erin sit in front of them.

"How long do we have together until you go away again?" Jaime asks after the plane takes off.

"About a month, then I'm flying out to Lights and we start touring."

"How long's the tour?"

"About two months."

"You'll be seven months pregnant with the little bean, will you be able to fly back?"

"I should be able to, if not, I'll have a long train journey home."

"You'll need to keep the little bean safe." Jaime says and places his hand over my bump.

"Hey bean! You should have ears by now, so I can start singing to you until you hate the sound of my voice." Jaime says and starts singing Anatome to my bump.

You're right I've lied, one to many times before
I'm right that I've been so selfish
I've tried to find ways for my own body to stand still
But I can't keep my hands to my side
All they wanna do is touch, and my mouth it talks to much
My eyes they see everything...
Like the fact I can't explain the one thing I need to say
So I'll keep it here with me, so I can...
So I can try...
Try to be more obvious, and lie and tell me I'm right again.

Cause I swore that I'll be just fine when you're gone
But my body misses you like the sun
But something inside still feels wrong
Maybe it was you all along.

There's not much I can say
When my tongue digs all my own graves
And my legs don't wanna carry me through
So I'll keep it down this time, and I'll try and stay in line
Cause we've all had our nights that... I can't remember
So I do what I am told, and if LOVE really does exist
I'd run till I broke, bruised and battered... all my bones
To try to make it obvious and,
Learn how to make it right again...

Cause I swore that I'll be just fine when you're gone
But my body misses you like the sun
But something inside still feels wrong
Maybe it was you all along.

And my minds figured out not to let you into my dreams
And there's a MONSTER under my bed who will take care of me
While my fingers they hold pictures that my HEART can't believe
And my lungs are so clever, they don't need me to breathe

Cause I swore that I'd be just fine when you're gone
But my body shakes like you were a DRUG
But something inside still feels wrong

Cause I swore that I'd be just fine when you're gone but my,
My body misses you like the sun
But something inside still feels wrong
Maybe it was you all along
Maybe it was you all along
Maybe it was you

"You're such a dork, you know that?" I say to Jaime as he finishes singing.

"But I'm your dork." He says and smiles at me like a little child.

"We'll have a mini dork together because you're my dork!" Jaime exclaims.

"Yeah!" I exclaim too.

"We've all been told that you're dorks and that you're going to raise a dork child, can you please shut up?" Mike whines. Jaime and I stick our tongues out at him and Mike huffs, which makes Jaime and I laugh.

"I love you dork." I say to Jaime.

"I love you too dork." We link hands and sleep for the rest of the flight back to California.
