Ali’s P.O.V
So as I was driving to the meeting I had with Joe today I all of the sudden had this craving for In and Out Burger luckily there was one on the way to Joe’s office. I would be a bit late if I went but I knew Joe had another meeting about some band before hand so that would probably run long.
About twenty-five minutes later I walked into the big building and stepped on the marble floor and made my way over to the receptionist Jenny to get a guest pass. “Hey Jenny. I need a guest pass. I have a meeting with the guys today.” “Sure no problem.” She smiled as she handed me the little pass. “Did you bring lunch for everyone?” Jenny asked politely. I wasn’t sure what to say, whether I was pregnant or not so I decided to just go along with it “Uh, yeah, sure something like that.” “Oh, well you have a nice day Mrs. Jonas.” She answered with a smile. “Yup, you too Jenny.” I said as I walked to the elevator.
When the elevator doors opened I saw Nick, Kevin, and Joe walk out of their meeting. “Hey guys!” I said as I walked over to them. “Hey Ali!” Nick said coming over to hug me but struggling because of all the food I was carrying. “Did you bring us lunch?” Nick asked. “Nope, this is for me.” I said smiling. Nick just laughed and shook his head as I walked over to Kevin. “Hey Kevy!” I said placed a friendly kiss on his prickly cheek. “You look awful.” I said taking a step back. “Thanks, you look great too.” Kevin laughed. “No, really, what happened.” I asked as Kevin explained the whole story about Spencer and him. “Oh.” I said “Is she here now?” “She was but I told her we have this meeting and then another one at four so I probably wouldn’t see her ‘till five. But, she didn’t mind, she said she was spending the day ‘getting ready’…looks like I’m not getting any sleep again.” He sighed but then smiled. Finally I greeted Joe. “Hey stranger.” I said kissing him. “Hey. Hungry are we?” He said looking down at all my food. “Uh, whose fault is that?” I asked smiling. “Mine.” He said as he kissed me. “Well, lets get this show on the road.” Nick said leading us all into the board room.
We all sat there as I stuffed my face but giving some food to them too, when their manager, John, walked in. “Hello John.” I said standing up shaking his hand as I swallowed hard. Everyone shook his hand as we all sat down and John began to speak as I proceded to stuff my face. “Well, Joe has been all over the news today about his late night, or should I say early morning, food run. Now, that’s now big deal. But they are beginning to spectulate that it was for Ali and that she is pregnant. They have been calling us all day asking for us to issue a statement and we have said of course, ‘no comment’ but now we need to know, Ali are you pregnant?” I just looked up, my mouth completely full and then looked over to Joe. Joe just nodded and smiled as he reached for my hand and squeezed it. As I swallowed I said proudly “Yes, yes I am. A little over six e
weeks to be exact.” John then asked, “Would you like us to say anything to the press? Are you coming on tour? When are you due? How’s your health right no-” “Whoa, whoa, whoa!” I stopped him. “What she means is, can you slow down a bit.” Joe said defendingly. “No, what I mean is I do not want to tell the press right now. And anything else really isn’t your business. This is a private family matter and I want everything to be perfect for this baby.” I said as tears began to run down my cheeks. “Baby, why are you crying?” Joe said as he placed a hand on my face to wipe away my tears. “I-I dunno. I-I am just so stressed.” I said as he pulled me close to his chest.
Joe’s P.O.V
As Ali sobbed into my chest and I rubbed her back I looked up at John who was in total shock as I mouthed “I’m sorry”. Then I looked over to Kevin and Nick, both in shock as well, but a bit more understanding. When Kevin then mouthed “Hormones” I realized that’s what this was. I didn’t know what to do. But I knew all I really wanted was for her to be okay. So we just sat there as I rubbed her back and kept whispering “It’s going to be okay, it’s alright.” Until she sat up and hiccupped “You’re right. You’re right.” As she kissed me and then said “Wow, I am still starving” and picked up some french fries. All the rest of us could do is laugh a bit.
