Back to the Start (Book 3 of the "Fearless" series) [Completed]

Chapter 27 - Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'

London, England / Paris, France

[Karsyn]

The tour is almost over. I keep telling myself, the tour is almost over. I admit though, it's been better since Emmileigh has been back. Things have been more normal. Things have just been more awesome. I haven't been as moody.

After the concert last night, Donnie pretty much scooped Emmileigh up and they left for the airport. I'm not even sure where they went but they were taking a belated honeymoon. Alma was staying on until they got back to help with the babies and Elijah.

Nick and I decided to stay in London, since Haley liked it so much when we came here to visit Emmileigh.

"I literally don't think I can stand up and walk today," I whined as Alma walked into the bedroom, giving Savannah a bottle. "How are the twins? They realize Donnie and Emmileigh are gone?"

"No, angels are usual," she said. "What do you mean?"

"When I stand up, it just feels like everything is weighing down," I said as she looked at me. "Why?"

"Maybe the baby is dropping some," she said as I raised an eyebrow.

"Droppin' like it's hot? What do you mean dropping?"

"Where have your kicks been?" she asked as I started to think.

"Mostly on the side and top stomach, giving me heartburn," I said as she nodded.

"She's dropping then," Alma said. "You're not due for a while, though, aren't you?"

"End of November," I said as she smiled. "What?"

"I bet you we see that baby before then," she said, walking out of the room as I groaned and fell back in bed. That is all I really needed, a baby born in another country.

No way, Gracie was staying inside until we're at least home.

"Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir." Donnie whispered in my ear as we walked under the Eiffel Tower.

I had been looking up at it in awe when I felt his arm snake around my waist, resting on my stomach. "Is that the only french you know?" I turned my head to look at him.

"You going to answer my question?" Donnie spun me around, holding me tight against him.

"What do you think?" I murmured before leaning up and kissing him softly.

Things had changed alot since I'd been back, and totally for the better. Me and Donnie had some kind of mutual silent understanding that we were going to work on this day by day. We were communicating better, and I felt more comfortable with him than I ever have.

There was just one thing we hadn't done yet since I'd been back, and that was what Donnie had just propositioned me with before.

"I think you need to answer my question." Donnie said with a grin, making me giggle.

"Why don't you take me back to the hotel room and I'll show you." I wrapped my arms around him, loving the fact that he felt warm. It was freezing in Paris, and I hadn't even packed any scarfs or a thicker coat.

"We just left the hotel room, babe." Donnie said with a chuckle.

"Oh, so you don't want me?" I stood up straighter and pouted at him.

"I want you.. there's no denying that. But I also want us to enjoy Paris, the scenery too."

I grinned. "Oh, I'm enjoying it." I squeezed him, slipping my hands down to his ass and grabbing it gently before standing back. "Come on, lets sight see."

Donnie took my hand and pulled me close as we carried on walking.

"Daddy, I want to live in London, I like how people talk," Haley said as I snorted as we walked out of a toy store. "It's like how Emmileigh and Harry Potter talk and I like it. I want to talk like that."

"You have too much of a southern twang to ever go British," I said as she laughed. "Let's go sit down and eat our cookies we bought."

"Okay," Haley said as we walked over to a park bench and sat down. I sat our bags down and handed her the small cookie bag with her cookie in it. "You and Mama aren't going to fight like Donnie and Emmi are you?"

"Why do you say that?"

"After she has Gracie, you'll fight and one of you will leave," she said as I stared at her. "I don't want you two to fight."

"We won't fight," I said as she looked at me. "Maybe we'll get in an argument but neither of us are going to leave, I promise."

"You promise?"

"I promise," I said as she smiled, swinging her legs back and forth on the bench. "Is being on tour a little better now?"

"A little."

"When we get home and stuff, do you want to go back to regular school?" I asked as she looked at me. "I know you miss having friends your age and other little girls and stuff."

"Can I?" she asked as I nodded. "You and Mama talked about it?"

"Yeah, we did," I said as she reached up, hugging my neck tightly. "I guess you're okay with that?"

"Yes!" she exclaimed, causing me to laugh. "I can go to regular school and have friends."

"Yes, you will," I said as I went back to eating my cookie.
