"Open the bag." Alex says motioning her head towards the bag. "That'll tell you who I brought with me, I'm telling you it's a surprise."

"I'm intrigued I hope you know." I say with a chuckle. I grab the bag and see a paper and a wooden box inside. "Are you ready for it? Ha cute."

"Get the box." Alex says.

I grab the box, the wooden box was engraved with something on top. The best starts with this. I open the box and I gasp. I feel my hands begin to shake and sweat.

A pregnancy test.

"You- you're, oh my god." I say turning around. I see Alex holding a pair of small shoes.

"I'm pregnant. We're having a baby." Alex says smiling, tears in her eyes, trying so hard not cry.

"We're having a baby!" I shout as I hug Alex. "Oh my god we're having a baby."

"That's my surprise that's who I brought with me." Alex says and I laugh.

"The best surprise."

"This is my song you know." I shout for the band to hear as I get ready to go onto the stage. Bouncing on my heels as I put my shirt on.

The song that makes me want to dance the moment I hear it anywhere. The best of the best. A song that can make anyone want to get up and dance.

La Chona.

"Your mic." Peter says and I grab my mic from him. "Lastly, your flag."

"Pure coincidence or luck?" I ask Peter as I dance.

"Both?"

The music fades away and I prepare myself to head over to the stage.

"Going in. Three. Two. One." Mike announces.

I wrap the flag around myself as I run onto the stage.

"Mexico lindo y querido cómo estás esta noche!" I shout as I run around the stage, waving the flag in the air. "Feliz día de independencia Mexico!"

I take one of my in ear monitors as I listen to crowd scream and shout. I smile as I wave the flag.

"Viva Mexico!" I shout.

"Viva!" They shout back making me smile.

"Hoy quiero empezar con una canción que amo tanto. De una mujer tan amada por el mundo pero que se fue muy temprano."

"La Carcacha. One. Two. Y que suene Natalia." I hear Omar say through my IEM.

"Uno!" I shout putting one finger up. "Dos! Tres!"

"Cuatro!" The crowd shouts back.

I smile as I move my mic stand, the flag in my hand as I walk down the stage.

As the night when on I felt so much happiness, and I definitely knew why. I looked into the crowd the whole night trying to find Alex somewhere in the crowd. Ultimately she wasn't there, she was backstage with Laura. Safe.

At the end of the show the stadium let me have fireworks, which kind of scared me at first but it was nice. A great ending to a great show.

I head back to my hotel room, taking a nice shower after a very fun but long night.

"Natalie." Laura shouts from outside my hotel room. "Natalie."

"I'm changing!" I shout.

"You have a visitor." Laura shouts.

At this hour? Wait. Who can it be. I look at Alex who's laying down on my bed, watching on the tv.

"Are you comfy? Do you need anything baby? More food?" I ask Alex, kissing the top of her head.

"I'm okay thank you."

I nod and I open the door, my eyes widen as I see who's in front of me.

"I'm getting very freaked out by how you know where I'm staying." I say as I open the door a little.

"Sorry but I need to talk to you again."

"Not that I'm mad that I get to see you because I don't see you anymore but Di-." I'm cutoff as Dianna covers my mouth.

"I have something I need to tell you but I can't tell you that's the worst part." Dianna says and I tilt my head.

"Come on tell me." I say but it sounds muffled as my mouth is still covered. "What's the worst thing that can happen?"

"I'm in l-." My eyes widen as I put my hand over her mouth.

"I'm afraid of what's going to come out of your mouth."

"It's not you." Dianna mumbles.

"That's not what I'm worried about I know it's not me, obviously." I say. "I'm scared because am I really the person you want to tell?"

"I still love your sister." Dianna says and I gasp as I move my hand away, turning around to face anywhere but her.

"Oh no. No this is bad. Why are you telling me? Me!" I whisper shout as I get out of the room, shutting the door behind me.

"I thought I'd let you know." Dianna says and I look at her in disbelief.

"There's absolutely no reason for you to tell me this, you know I was always rooting for you both to actually try to be together. But Taylor is in a relationship."

"And I respect that I do but I'm in love with her." Dianna says and I put my hands on my head. "I had to tell someone."

"Out of everyone you know, you tell me? Why?" I ask.

"I always trusted you." Dianna says and I sigh. "You never judged me."

"And I never will."

"Just keep this between us okay? Please?" Dianna says grabbing my arm. "Please."

"Okay. It stays between us." I whisper. "Don't worry."

I place my hand on her cheek, I smile as I pull her in for a hug. I feel her relax and wrap her arms around me, hugging me tight.

"Don't you worry okay?"

"Thank you."

"Anytime." I say smiling. "Let me give you my number and I'll let Laura know to let you in when you're around. Sound good?"

"Sounds good, thanks."

"Of course." I type my number into her phone and give her phone back.

"Thanks again."

"I'll see you around."

"See you." Dianna says and I open the door to my room.

"Wait how do you know where I stay?"

"I just do." Dianna says with a smirk getting into the elevator.

"I'm scared."

I walk into the room, Alex now asleep as her shirt was slightly pulled up, hair sprawled around her. I walk over, pulling the blanket to cover her.

"Rest my love." I whisper, placing a kiss on her head.

I grab my computer, sitting next to Alex as I open my computer. Getting ready to start working on upcoming projects.

"What a day. What a day."
