”Nick.” Lina poked him in the side to get his attention.

“What?” Nick mumbled. He was still half asleep and didn’t wanna wake up.

“Look outside the window.” Lina stood by the window staring down on the crowd of journalists outside. “What are all these journalists doing here? I know they know that you are here but this is extreme.”

“Have you forgotten what day it is?”

“Huh?”

”Our interview is published today... they aren’t here for the Backstreet Boys, they are here for you and me.”
Lina just stood there, she couldn’t believe that her pregnancy would get all this attention.

“But why? I know you are Nick from the Backstreet Boys, but hello!”

Nick just laughed at her. She hadn’t really gotten used to all the journalists and fans running after them.

“I guess we have to stay at the hotel today.” Nick said and gave her a smile. “Come here, I want you in bed, not all the way over there.” They had arrived in Rotterdam, Holland the night before, and now they had a day off before the concert.

Lina got back into the bed and curled up against him. Before she knew it she was crying.

“Baby, what’s wrong?” Nick asked and held her.

“I don’t know, I just wanna cry... I’m all messed up.”

“No you’re not. You are wonderful, and I love you.” Nick was getting used to this emotional rollercoaster. One minute she was happy and the next she was crying. He knew it was because of the pregnancy, but he hated to see her cry.

“I’m not wonderful, I’m gonna be all fat soon, and then you won’t love me...you don’t want a fat girlfriend” she kept crying and he had a hard time not to laugh. She wasn’t acting rational at all these days.

“Honey, it’s not like you’re being fat like overweight, you’re carrying our baby. And I’m gonna think you look beautiful.”

She stopped crying and turned her head up to look at him. “I’m sorry babe, I don’t know what’s wrong with me...”

“Nothing’s wrong.” He took her face in his hands and kissed her. She felt he’s tongue exploring her mouth and she couldn’t help but moan. He deepened the kiss and they forgot about the world around them. All that existed was them and their love. They made love and afterwards Lina lay in Nick’s arms. They fell asleep like that and didn’t wake up until there was a knock on the door.

“Who’s that?” Lina asked sleepy.

“I don’t know, wait here...” Nick crawled out of bed with his cover wrapped around him.

He opened the door and Brian stepped in. He smiled when he saw Nick’s lack of clothes, considering it was four o’clock in the afternoon.

“Get dressed, you and Lina are coming with me and Leigh.”

“Why?”

“Because I say so. No seriously, we thought you might wanna go out for dinner with us or something.”

“I don’t know man, have you looked outside?”

“No problems, we’ll sneak out. Come on, it will be fun.”

"Wait, I’m gonna ask Lina." But he didn’t have to go in to the bedroom. Lina had already put her clothes on and was now in the living room with them.

“I would love to go Bri. When are we leaving? I’m starving.”

“We thought we could go in an hour. Jo’s taking Baylee.”

“That sounds fine. We’ll meet you downstairs.”

Brian said goodbye and went back to his wife. Lina came up to Nick and gave him a kiss.

“I love you.”

“I love you too.”


They went out with Brian and Leighanne that night and they had a lovely time. They managed to sneak away from all the journalists and they laughed about how easy they were to fool.


The next couple of days went by fast. Lina’s mood swings were as bad as ever, but they had all learned to handle it. She didn’t see Jo very much, she was taking care of Baylee or working out. She missed her, but she didn’t wanna pressure her. If Jo needed time for herself she would get it. But Lina couldn’t help to feel left out. She always shared her emotions with Jo and she wished Jo would do the same.


“What’s wrong baby?” Nick asked. They were on their way to Mannheim, Germany and they were travelling in their tour buses. She came out of her thoughts about Jo and turned to him.

“Nothing, I just miss Jo. It feels like she doesn’t wanna talk to me or something.”

“I’m sure everything’s fine. Maybe she just needs some time alone right now.”

“I guess. But I miss her. Plus I’m bored when you’re at the rehearsals. I want her here to talk to.”

“Like I said. I think she just needs some time to deal with her emotions. When she’s done that, everything will go back to normal.”

“Probably. But I want her to feel like she could talk to me and besides, I don’t like to be bored.” She pouted with her mouth and Nick couldn’t help but laugh.
