“Hey Uncle Nick all the grownups are out on the patio”
“Thanks little dude.” The family walked into Brian’s house and headed towards the patio once outside everyone had already arrived,” Sorry we are so late we had kid troubles.” Nick said setting Darren down on the grass to let him play while Maddy, Hunter and Olivia played with the other Backstreet children.
“It’s all good bro it’s no different than usual.” He said giving Nick a hug.
“Very funny”
“Well most of the food is on the table over these if the kids are hungry and I am grilling up some steaks for us,” Brian said pointing to the table of food.
“What’s the occasion? You never cook steaks you always leave that up to me…the grill master,” he chuckled.
“Well Leigh and I have a little bit of an announcement” Brian said as Leighanne walked over to Brian.
“We were going to wait until after we ate dinner but since Nick is here we might as well spill the beans.” Leighanne stated, everyone looked to the attention of Brian and Leighanne.
“Well we have made the decision to sell our house here in Georgia we have outgrown it.” Everyone was kind of confused.
“How in the world have you outgrown a two bedroom house with just three people a couple of dogs,” Nick questioned.
“Well believe it or not we are expecting,” all the girls’ eyes lit up like a bunch of flyer flies while the boys’ faces were still quite dumbfounded.
“Expecting what?” Brian couldn’t help but bust out laughing uncontrollably,” What’s so funny?”
“A baby you goof,”
“A baby? I thought you guys were done with the whole diapering, staying up all night, and not to mention you are getting pretty old,” Nick laughed.
“Thanks bro we weren’t expecting this either, Bay has been an only child for so long everything is going to be a new experience for us. It just kind of happened I guess.”
“Well I have a little surprise of my own.” Leighanne spoke up,” Brian, guys, girls,…I went to the doctor the other day and I wanted to wait to tell everyone until today but we are expecting twins,” Leighanne said bringing out the ultrasound. The look on Brian’s face was almost priceless he was speechless he didn’t have much for words.
“I think Brian is a little speechless. He can’t seem to talk.” Kevin joked,” Congrats cuz,” he said shaking his hand.
“I defiantly wasn’t expecting this, but thanks cuz.”
…………….
All the girls sat around the fire pit after dinner while the guys huddled around the bar.
“So when are you due?”
“Sometime in March I think …middle of the month or so.”
“Are you hoping for girls or boys?” Kristen asked.
“Girls,” she giggled,” Another girl would be nice for once,”
“I bet you cant wait,” Rayna said, Leighanne sighed.
“I am a little nervous actually, Bay is going to start his teenage years and here we are starting another part of our little family. Its going to be a big adjustment.
“You will be fine, you guys are such awesome parents.”
“Awe thanks Roch”
The boys stood around the bar having their own conversation.
“So twins eh?” Nick said.
“Yeah it’s looking that way isn’t it?”
“Good luck with that,” Nick joked taking a small sip of his beer.
“What I think Nick is trying to say is congratulations,” AJ said.
“He knew what I meant,” Nick said,” But are you nervous?”
“Yes, Bay is almost a teenager now and I will be back to doing diaper duty not only for one but two? I think the thing that is going to suck the most is that I will be gone for most of this pregnancy cause of the tour. I took time off with Leighanne was pregnant with Baylee but this time I can’t. I am worried I will miss so much.”
“Well like you said Rok, it wasn’t really expected,” Howie said.
“I know D, it’s weird I guess. Nick is finally back with Ray, we have been together for twenty years, Howie had a new baby, Kev is about to have a new baby and now we are about to embark on the same journey.”
“It will be one hell of a ride but I am down if y’all are.”
“Hell yeah I am” AJ said.
“Me too” Howie said.
“Me three” Kevin chimed in the guy’s finally joined their wives around the fire pit and talked of memories from tours and childhood and of their futures.
