The Boy in the Band

Why didnt you just tell me

We have finally made it 4 more days and the tour will be done. It felt like a weight off my chest. Joe called me and I quickly answered my office phone
"Office of Sierra Rose how may I help you"
"This my hot blond girlfriend"
"Maybe"
"Maybe huh, what you doing"
"Getting ready for a meeting, what you doing"
"Getting a haircut, I got some news today"
"Really what's that"
"Guess how long we have off after we finish this tour"
"I don't know a month"
"No try 8 months"
"Holy shit seriously, what am I going to do with you for 8 months"
"Your gonna get sick of me is what your gonna do"
He laughed
"Never"
"Babe my mom called me today"
"Oh Ok"
"It's the family reunion next week,So I like you to came home with me so you can meet the family and they can all meet you"
"Baby I really don't know"
"Why"
"Why haven't been together to long and let's be real you only have been physically together a couple hand fulls a time. It's just too soon, I can't do it."
"Baby please it's not too soon my family will love you. I want you to see where I grew up, you can see where the guys and I used to rehearse and preform."
"Joe no I'm not family it's not ok, you can show me everything another time"
"Well if you don't go I'm not going"
"No you can't your always traveling you need to go"
"No Sierra I'm not going with you, there be other reunions. I don't wanna spend anymore time away from you."
"Joe I don't know"
"Please baby my parents are dying to meet you"
"Wait you told you parents about me"
"Of course"
"Listen if it means that much to you I guess but I gotta go I got get to this meeting"
"Awesome I'll book the flights"
"You owe me McIntyre"
"What you have in mind"
"Don't even take it there I gotta go"
"Fine, bye baby"
"Bye babe"

I hung up the phone and just shook my head.

The next couple days passed and Joe was finally home off tour for 8 months and I couldn't be happier. We were having a quite night in since we were flying out early to Boston in the morning. It was 9 when we curled up in bed it felt so good to be wrapped in his arms we both just drifted off. It was 7am and here we were sitting at the airport waiting to board. I honestly can say my nerves to a mess with anticipation of meeting his family. It was a long 6 hr flight and I tried to keep myself occupied with my new editorial not wanting to concentrate on the flight since I hate flying, Joe spent the entire trip sleeping, I really couldn't blame him he has been going non stop for months. I was able to get a good portion of my editorial by the time our flight had landed which was a god sent knowing that Joe had the entire trip booked up with stuff to do and places he wanted to go. I grabbed our bags and grab the rental and quickly got on the road. It was only a hour drive but when we pulled up we were met by the cutest couple I had ever met.
"Mom,Pop this is My Girlfriend Sierra"
"Sierra this is my mom and dad Tom and Kay"
"Dear come here it's nice to meet you"
I was pulled into Tom and Kay's embrace, they instantly made me feel at ease. I spent the majority of the day there before heading to the hotel to check in. As soon and we walked into the room and feel back on the bed
"Baby what you doing"
"I landed"
"I see that but don't get to comfortable"
"Why, normally you like me in the bed"
"Baby.."
"What"
"Seriously don't get too comfortable I'm taking you out on a date night, then maybe we'll put the bed to work."
"Date night hmmm what you have in mind I had us 7 o'clock dinner reservations and I figured a walk on the beach under the stars."
"That sounds perfect"
He leans down and kisses me as the smile forms across his face,
"I was hoping you might say that, but come on let's get ready"
"Whatever you say"
"Well if your in such a agreeable mood how about we..."
"Hold up there big boy I already know where you head just went"
"Couldn't possibly"
"Your telling me that what was just about to come out of your mouth has nothing to do with you and me in the bed"
"No it doesn't"
"Uh huh"
" I could be on the sofa against wall in the shower or up against the counter"
"Jesus I knew it"
"What"
"Way to be romantic Joey"
"I just sayin"
"Whatever you say I'm going to shower and get ready"
"I need one too"
"Yea after"
"Why not we're helping the environment by conserving water"
"Conserving water really, everytime we get in there together it takes three times as long"
"I'm just sayin"
"I'm just sayin no"
I giggled and walked into the bathroom running the shower. I showered quick and slide on my gold Chanel slip dress when the door opened,
"Baby you almost ready"
"Yea"
"You look gorgeous"
"Thanks".
I feel him wrap his arms around me and I just melt into him for a second not wanting to move and just stay this way. It was short lived since we had to leave.
Joe took me to a beautiful dinner before we headed to the beach we walked quitely hand in hand it was a beautiful clear sky so the stars seem to shine a little brighter.
"It's beautiful night"
"I see something more beautiful"
"Joe"
"It's true, I'm so glad I'm home tours done and your in LA with me"
"I'm glad too...it's chilly out"
I rub my shoulders, Joe takes his jacket off wrapping it around my shoulders
"There you babe, do you wanna head back"
"I just wanna be with you I don't care where we are"
"I love hearing that, come on let's go back to the hotel"
"Ok"
We headed back to the hotel and spent the most amazing night together. I woke up in the morning and I don't know what happened but Ifelt like death. I jumped out of the bed running to the bathroom and there I went I violently threw up. The was a tap on the door and Joe's head pops in
"Baby, you ok"
"I'll be ok I just need a minute"
Then here I went again. Joe knelt down rubbing me back, I'm sure he really wants to be doing this. This continued for the next half a hour before my body just called it done. I washed up quick and stumbled out.
"Baby what the he'll happened"
"Don't know gotta be something I ate last night"
"Maybe we shouldn't just stay in today"
"Don't be silly I'll be fine I just need a minute"
"You sure"
"Yea"
"Ok I'm gonna shower quick".
I feel back against the bed, I have no idea what got into me but I wish it would go away. Once I laid down for awhile it seemed to pass. Joe took me sightseeing showing me all his old haunts the more we wander the city the more I fall in love with Boston. The more we walk around the city it just gives me so much more insight on Joe and meeting his family and his parents gave it a different layer to this. We made our way back to his parents in the afternoon to have lunch with Tom and Kay before with went to the Footlight club to walk Kaylee in a play this evening. For some reason I was getting extremely tired I don't understand why I just hope that I wasn't coming down with something well we are in Boston not wanting to ruin Joes trip home. Kaylee was so cute it was a trip to watch her on stage, for being 6 I see some of Uncle Joeys talents have rubbed off on her. Everything was great till we were in the second act and my stomach began to bubble
"Shit"
And then the dry heaves hit,
"Joe..I need to get to the bathroom now"
"Baby you ok"
"Yes"
He stood up and I shot passed him making it just in time before I just let it rip. I threw up for half a hour before I was sure I was done. I cleaned up and headed back, I felt so bad that I spent half of the second act in the bathroom I'm sure Joe has to be pissed. I walked down the isle and slid back into the my seat, Joe leans over
"Hey you ok"
"Think it was something I ate yesterday I'll be fine"
"You wanna go"
"No it's fine, I'll be fine"
I leaned back in the chair and we finished the play. Play ended at 9 and we headed back to the hotel. The drive back was silent, I didn't feel good and I'm pretty sure Joe had caught on. We spent the next two days in Boston I got sick on and off well we were there. I didn't let it on to Joe, this weekend was more about Joe and I didn't want to damper it for him. I figured it's probably just the stomach bug.

We finally got back to LA I couldn't be happier to get back to normal life and back to work. I threw myself back into work and didn't realize to one evening about a week after we got home and Joe and I were at home one night it was a quite night, we were in the hot tub relaxing
"Baby girl"
" mmm hmmm"
"Thank you for coming home with me"
"You welcome"
"My family loves you"
"They were great"

I closed my eyes and my head fell down as Joe massages my shoulders.
"Baby your shoulders are so tense"
"Probably from work",
He leans down and began kissing my neck and shoulders and my body shutters at the feeling.
"Mmm Baby what you say we move this inside"
"What you have in mind"
"I don't know maybe some wine and I'll finish your massage"
"Sounds like heaven"
"Let's go baby"
I opened my eyes and leaned up, Joe grabbing my hand helping me out the hot tub before pulling me into him
"I love you See"
"I love you too"
He kisses me tenderly before leading me into the house. Bella and Buster were curled up asleep together in the corner when we walked in. He walked into the kitchen grabbing the wine pouring two glasses before handing me one.
I brought the glass to my lips and look up to see Joe's blue eyes fixated on me,
"What you staring at"
"You"
"Why"
"Because you so beautiful and I'm glad your mine"
"What you sucking up for"
"I'm not, come here".
I walked up and Joe took the glass from my hand leading me into the bedroom,
"Lie down"
"Why"
"So I can finish you massage"
"Is that all your planning"
I look at him cocking my eyebrow,
"You didn't answer"
"Don't know how too"
"Why is that"
"Because if I really tell you what I wanna do you way run screaming back to North Carolina"
"Really McIntyre do tell"
I lean up on my tip toes kissing him playfully before nibbling on his bottom lip, he moaned slightly against my lips. I smile,
"Do tell"
"I can show you better than I can tell you".
"Show me huh"
"Uh huh"
Just then Joe scoops me up in his arms and I giggle
"Put me down where we going"
"The bedroom"
He walked in kicking the door open with his foot before tossing me onto the bed.
"What you doing"
He smiled before crawling over me,
He leans down and kisses me tenderly as the butterflies began in my stomach,
"I love you Sierra"
"I love you too Joey"
"You called me Joey"
"I did"

The playfulness in his eyes shifted into blazing I recognized that look. The butterflies increased in my stomach and the sudden urge to want to feel his body on mine began to surface. He playfully began nibbling on my ears and his lips travel down my neck. His hand tugging at the string of my bikini top.
"Mmmm What you doing"
"Told you I can show better than I can tell you, do you not want too"
"No I don't want you to stop"
I began pushing at his swim shorts feverishly trying to get them off.
He stood up for a moment and slid the down before climbing back over me slamming his mouth to mine. We spent the rest of the night together in the room. I woke in the morning to Joe's arms around my waist pulling me into him. I smiled as I lifted him arm sliding out. The smile was short lived by the nausea that slammed into me. I've been nauseous and sick everyday for the last couple weeks . I thought that it was stress then, food poisoning not realizing till I looked at my phone I'm 4 weeks late on my period. I hopped in Joe's Bentley running down the hill to CVS grabbing a test and running home wanting to take the test before I went to work knowing damn well if I didn't it would be on my mind all day and I'd never get anything done.
My hands were sweating and they began to shake as I tear into the box "here we go" I peed and the test putting the cap on in it setting it on the counter, 5 minutes and I'll know for sure. It was the longest five minutes of my life but finally the alarm on my phone went off, "here we go".
My hands shake and I look ...pregnant 3-4 weeks.
