Anatome (Jaime Preciado/Pierce The Veil)

Alexis's POV

~1 week later

After our very, 'dramatic' ending to last week, things had quickly settled down. Erin and Tony loved being parents, Jaime and I enjoyed being godparents and everything in general was great. Right now, I was watching the season finale of The Walking Dead whilst Jaime kept poking my baby bump and speaking to it.

"Jaime, please, I'm busy." I whined as I swatted his hand away from my bump for the 7th time.

"I can't help it. I love talking to her, she always kicks your stomach when we speak to her." He replied, looking like an innocent kid.

"I agree that it is absolutely adorable but it does hurt." I complained as she kicked again. Jaime eventually gives in for prodding my baby bump but he kept talking to our daughter, telling her little things, singing and telling her soothing things. I fell asleep during the beginning of the episode and had a nice nap.

~3 hours later

"Hey baby, it's your daddy. I'm so excited for you to be born, I absolutely cannot wait. I can't wait to hold you, sing you to sleep, watch you do your first things in life, go to school, everything. I'm extremely excited to look after you and raise you the best I can. Your mommy is going to be the best mommy ever and I'm going to be the best daddy that I can possibly be. You and your mum light up my world and will continue to. You are the best things that have ever happened to me and I will always love you." Jaime had whispered to by baby bump, assuming that I was asleep. I smiled to myself, snuggled into Jaime and fell asleep again.

"He said all of that? That is so frigging adorable!" Jolie squealed as we packed my suitcases. Pierce The Veil had been asked to go on a tour around America for a month and Jolie and I had been invited along. Erin had also been invited but she refused, stating that she was going to stay at home with Oscar.

"He didn't know that I was awake when he said that which is the sweetest thing." I said.

"Mitch said things like that when I was pregnant with Kena. He'd keep rubbing my belly and whispering to her at every opportunity he got." Jolie said as she opened my wardrobe and started pulling out my clothes and putting them in my suitcases. We had both known each other for so long that we knew our styles and could pack easily for each other.

"I'm positive you've been asked this already but how many checked shirts do you have?" Jolie asked as she pulled out about seven checked shirts.

"Erm... a lot?" I questioned whilst I raked through my drawers, pulling out skinny jeans (which I was surprised that I could still fit in!) and band t-shirts.

"You should see a counsellor about it." Jolie said as she folded my clothes and packed them into my suitcases.

"I may, I may not." I replied back, sticking my tongue out at Jolie. She caught me and stuck her tongue out back.

"Finished!" I exclaimed as we zipped up my suitcases and I flopped onto my bed.

"Nope." Jolie said and pulled me up again. I whined at her and she dragged me out my house, dragging me to hers.

"We still have more packing to do." She said as we entered her house and walked to her bedroom. Jolie retrieved two suitcases as I started setting her clothes on the bed. Jolie came back, dumped the empty suitcases on the bed and blasted Walk by Pantera on her IPod. Even though we were both in our twenties, we felt like teenage girls, dancing around the room to Pantera.

Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you...
You want in to get under my skin
And call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you
What do I do?

[Pre]
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am, where I've been
Belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself, by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

[Chorus]
Respect, walk

Run your mouth when I'm not around
It's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing you song?
Those same friends tell me your every word

[Pre]

[Chorus]

Are you talking to me?
No way punk

Finally, after half an hour, Jolie and I had finished packing. We carried the suitcases next door and dumped them in the living room, lunging on to the couches.

"When does the bus arrive?" Jolie asked as Jaime ran past me into our bedroom.

"In an hour. You can tell by Jaime's rushed actions that he's not packed yet." I said and we both laughed seeing Jaime panic.

"Jaime, if you're going to be like this when I give birth to our daughter, you need to screw your head on tight." I said as he ran into the living room, moving my feet off the coffee table, grabbing papers and running off again.

"I don't think he's listening." Jolie stated as Jaime ran around the house like a headless chicken.

"He never does. You have to physically grab his attention to get him to focus." I said.

"So if you flashed him, he wouldn't notice?"

"No." I laughed. An hour later, Jaime had finally packed.

"I'm exhausted." He whined as he sat down next to me.

"That's your own fault, leaving packing to the last minute." I tutted as he rested his head on my shoulder, panting heavily.

"I was busy, band meeting dragged on." Jaime panted as he tried to regain his breath.

"Bus is here!" Jolie exclaimed as we saw the bus pull up in our street. The three of us get off the couch, grab our suitcases and head outside.

"Howdy brothers." I said as I saw Vic and Mike.

"What's with the Mexican attitude?" Mike questioned.

"Hormones." Vic said, smirking at me. I glared at him for a few seconds before hitting his arm. He rubbed his arm, pouted at me and we both started laughing.

"Ready to go?" Jaime asked as he finished locking up our house.

"Almost, I need to say goodbye to Erin and Oscar." Tony said and turned to Erin who was holding Oscar. Tony was slightly sad about leaving his girlfriend and new born son but he was looking forward to touring again.

"I'm going to quickly say bye to Kena and my parents." Jolie said and walked into her house. Jolie's mom and dad were looking after Kenadee whilst we were on tour.

"Ready Lex?" Erin asked after Tony had kissed her goodbye.

"Yeah. Are you going to be fine on your own?" I asked her. I was a little worried about Erin not coming with us, she normally came on tour with us.

"I'll be fine. My family live a couple of blocks away and I can always ask Jolie's parents when necessary." Erin replied, rocking Oscar. I nodded and hugged her, letting her go after Jolie exited her house. Kenadee came running out and collided into me.

"I'm going to miss you Lex!" She whined as she hugged me tightly. I chuckled and hugged her back.

"I'll miss you too!" I said and squeezed Kenadee tight. She pulled away and ran back to her grandparents after Vic shouted for us to all get on the bus. We waved goodbye, boarded the bus then slammed the door.

"Ready for another tour?" Jaime asked us as the bus started moving.

"Hell yeah!"
