"Thank you so much for having us," I shouted into the mic as Jack danced around the stage, still playing a few chords on his guitar with Rian beating on the drums. "This is a tour we will never forget. You're all fucking beautiful!"

I was out of breath as I blew the crowd a kiss and began my walk of stage. Sweat was dripping from my head, making my hair stick to my face. This was our last show on Warped Tour, so we'd all worked our asses off to make sure it was the best show yet. Still on stage, I could hear Jack screaming something about a dirty joke, but shortly after the crew was running off stage while Rian, Zack and Jack were coming off of it.

"That was intense," Jack screamed, jumping on my back. "I'm so freakin' pumped! I don't want to take a break!"

"I'd be more excited to get home to my son if I were you," I mumbled, grabbing his legs and spinning him around. Now that I had children of my own on the way, I couldn't imagine how Jack so easily left Jasmin and the baby. But, hey, to each his own. Their relationship was less complex than mine and Jules, anyhow. "You're right, though, it's gonna be hard to give this up."

"I love Jasmin, and I love little Jack," he climbed off of my back with a sad expression on his face. "But we knew what we were getting into. You'll soon learn, Alex, that being away from your family sucks balls, but it's the only real way you'll ever be able to provide for them."

I hadn't meant to upset Jack, but perhaps it was a good thing I did. He was right, with two kids on the way, I'd have to keep my career going. Thing was, I didn't need to figure that out right now. My only conern at the moment was taking my soon-to-be bride back home, marrying her, having a baby shower, then the babies. With that thought fresh in my mind, I excused myself from the band and started to head back to the bus, where Jules was sure to be waiting on me. I was hoping she'd be just as excited about going home as I was.

It was a short walk back, so I decided to put another plan in motion. I pulled my cell phone out and dialed a familiar number. A girly voice picked up, sounding happy as always.

"Alexander. Why am I not surprised?" She giggled. "How's everything with the tour?"

"Just finished our last set, thank God," I smiled. "So I've been wanting to ask you something. Jules and I are going to need a lot for the babies and she keeps getting on my case about a baby shower, so..."

"So you need the touch of a woman to make that dream a reality?" Cassadee giggled again. "I'm so excited that you two are pregnant. You know I'm more than willing to help. You already know I'm flying out for the wedding so I'll extend my stay so Juli and I can work on the shower. Good?"

"Great. I owe you one, Cass."

"You always do, Al. But listen, I have to go. I'm so busy I don't even have time to call Ri. Send my love, okay?"

"You got it. Bye, Cass."

"Later Gaskarth!"

I ended the call and felt relief wash over my body. There was only so much I could do in terms of the babyshower. I had no idea how these things even worked. For Jack, I bought a few baby things, but took him out for a beer to celebrate. That seemed like more than enough.

In my happy mood, I climbed on the bus, skipping back to the lounge area where Jules was curled up on the couch, watching a movie through her laptop. She smiled at me with tired eyes, one hand holding her expanding bump. Poor thing, she must be exhausted carrying all that extra weight.

"So, I called Cassadee."

"Oh?"

"After the wedding, or before, if that's what makes you happy.. She's gonna help us plan the baby shower. I figured you could use a girl to help you, since my taste in color sucks," I joked.

"That's true, it does," she smirked. "It just seems like we have so much to do."

"It's a busy time for us," I shrugged, planting a kiss on her cheek before I sat down beside her. "But at least we have the colors picked and now some extra help with the shower."

"It still just seems so unreal," Jules looked up at me, her doe eyes shining bright. "This is the last stop on tour, Alex. From here, we go home, we get married, we start the rest of our lives together. I'm so excited and so happy."

"Not as happy as I am. I feel like I've spent my whole life searching for something to keep me grounded, and when you came along, I finally realized what my purpose was in life. You and I belong together," I smiled, leaning closer to her so our faces were only inches apart. "I don't care that we've moved quickly or how stressful all of this can be. I only care that I'm with you and you're with me."

"I love you, Alex," she whsipered, her eyes locked onto my own. "You're my whole world, along with these babies."

"As you are to me, my dear."

Then I kissed her. Deep, passionate, loving. A way that I hadn't done in a while that I should probably do more. She needed to know that she was my everything, that she was perfect and I was never going anywhere. Unwillingly, I pulled away from her lips and took a moment to catch my breath. She smiled at me, the smile that melted my heart.

"I love you, Jules," I beamed, moving my face away from hers and holding myself up just above her belly. "And I love you baby Tom and baby Stella!"

"You're gonna be a great dad, Alex."

"I really, really hope so."

The words Jules had spoken stayed locked in my brain as a tiny foot kicked against my lips, which were now connected to her stomach. I chuckled, loving the spark my children already had. I hoped Tom would have a piece of myself and my brother in him, while I knew Stella would take after her mother, which meant she sould have me wrapped around her finger... But that's exactly how it was supposed to be. My family, my precious little family, my whole heart was sitting right in front of me.. I couldn't wait for my new life to begin.
