"Hey, Mike!" Pete exclaimed, patting him on the back. "Long time no see."

"It's been a while, "he agreed. The guys decided Mikey needed some time off in order to get his system back together. So, almost a month later, Mikey was pumped up and ready to get back to rocking the bass. I left Pete and Mikey to talk and nervously wobbled over to Ray.

"Hey, Ray, "I said quietly. He took one look at me and pulled me over by the bus.

"What's going on, Reese?" He asked in that strictly-business tone.

"I have to tell you something..."I whispered.

"Well, tell me!" He said quickly.

"I have a problem. I mean, I have a really big problem, "I said, looking down at my swollen stomach.

"Oh, is the baby hurting you?" He smirked.

"No, but it might hurt my marriage, "I choked. He raised a brow.

"What's wrong? Did Mikey say he wasn't ready after all?" He scoffed.

"I, um, I don't think it's his..."I said quietly. His eyes widened but before he could reply, a hyped-up Brendon ran over to me.

"What's up, Mikey's baby mama?" He laughed, rubbing a hand over my tummy. I looked at Ray who seemed to still be in a shock.

"Nothing, "I said quietly. "What have you been doing?"

"Well, I tried this new energy drink called Rock Star, "he said slowly but loudly. "It's really good!" I rolled my eyes.

"What have I told you about drinking that shit?" I said, jabbing him with my finger.

"I'm sorry, but they are so good!" He exclaimed. I rolled my eyes.

"So, who could it be?" Ray asked suddenly. Brendon raised a brow, but I just shook my head. Ray seemed to ponder this.

"Well, I'm off, "Bren said, kissing my cheek. I heard a cough, and Mikey was standing there, pretending to be offended.

"Well, I turn my back for about five minutes and you found another man, "he said slowly, shaking his head. "Well, Mrs. Way, I think I'll claim your love, all things considered." He laughed and walked over to me, putting a hand on my stomach. I felt a stab of guilt and Ray looked at me.

"We'll talk later, "he warned before he walked away.

"What was that about?" Mikey asked, kissing my lips softly.

"I really hope it's nothing, "I said honestly. "I just really hope it's nothing."
