I didn’t want to tell Nyssa about the hate I was getting too. And mine’s been happening longer than what she’s been dealing with. Instead, I told her we’d watch all of STD and then watch Spirited Away.
“What movie are we watching now,” Nyssa asked while I changed out Spirited Away for my movie choice.
“You’ll see,” I told her as I dropped the DVD into the disc tray and closed it.
“Bonnie, stop teasing me and tell me what you picked,” she whined.
“Alright I’ll tell you. I’m really in the mood to watch Interview with the Vampire. I’ve been reading it again lately and I love watching the movie,” I told her.
“Thank you for finally telling. I thought for girls’ night we’d watch a chick flick, not a horror flick,” she rolled her eyes.
“To me it’s a chick flick since it’s one of my favorites,” I told her.
We watch up through to the part where Louis meets Lestat and Nyssa looks at me, I know she can tell I’m hiding what I found out from her. She’s going to freak out.
“You’re hiding something I know it,” Nyssa wiggled her finger at me.
“Alright I’ll tell you. I decided to check my stuff on twitter and Facebook only to find a mass amount of hate against me since I kissed Alex on stage during the first show after my first attack,” I told her the bad news first, “Also, Alex and I are going to a hospital on our next day off to get me a sonogram to pinpoint when I got pregnant and to get me everything I’ll need for my prenatal care.”
“Thank you for telling me finally,” Nyssa sighed, “How bad was the hate?”
“They called me a slut and whore. They kept saying I was only into him for the fame and his money. But there were people defending us by saying Alex can be with whoever makes him happy and they would upload a picture of us at the baseball game with smiles on our faces and not have a care in the world,” I told her.
“Is Alex going to do anything about it,” she asked.
“He might talk to Jack about trying something, I think,” I told her.
“Okay, let’s get back to the movie for now,” Nyssa looked up at the movie and I followed suit, rubbing my still flat tummy, smiling happily that there’s a little life growing inside me and Alex helped me make it.
♪Alex♪
Jack and I get back to the bus after being out all night while the girls took over the bus for their girls’ night. I found Nyssa sleeping while leaning on Bonnie while Bonnie was sound asleep with her hand resting on her stomach.
Seeing her like that made me picture her later down the road; sleeping in that same position but with her tummy sticking out with her baby bump, made me smile. I was madly in love with her and I can’t picture myself with anyone else but her. She brings light into my day and makes me feel like a teenage kid falling in love with the cutest girl in school.
Jack picked up Nyssa and took her to her bunk and I grabbed Bonnie and took her to our bunk. I laid her in gently, careful not to wake her as I set her inside.
“Mmm…Alex,” she sighed, sleep weighing on her.
“Yeah Bonnie,” I asked her.
“Will the hate ever stop,” she asked innocently.
“I’m not sure. I know that when Jack and I decide to go on the record about you girls, we’ll make sure to get the hate to stop as best as we can. I promise,” I kissed her softly as I spun her promise ring around her finger.
“Come sleep with me,” Bonnie demanded sleepily.
“Of course, babe,” I replied, taking off my jeans and slipping in with her. I drifted to sleep with Bonnie safe in my arms.

I woke up the next morning to find Bonnie gone. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and ruffled my hair before getting out of the bunk. I walk a ways to the front lounge before I hear the sound of someone coughing up their stomach contents. I open the bathroom door to find Bonnie hunched over the toilet again. I go to her side and hold onto her hair again as I rubbed her back slowly and gently to help her relax.
“This is the worst kind of wake up call,” Bonnie groaned before throwing up more.
“I bet when you get further along it’ll stop,” I reassured her, “This will all be worth it when our baby is born.”
“I hope so. If not, I’m asking for a return,” she joked before hurling again.
“I highly doubt you will,” I laughed a little at her dark humor that we shared. Once she knew she was done, I helped Bonnie up off the floor and watch her brush her teeth and rinse out.
“I hate doing that. I want it to be over so I can wake up after you do,” Bonnie whined.
“I know you want to, but your body has other plans for you now since we’re going to be having a baby,” I pulled her into my arms and held her for a moment.
“I hope these next few months fly by so I can stop being sick all the time,” Bonnie sighed heavily.
“You’ll miss them when you start to show and you miss fitting into your old clothes. Which reminds me, we’ll need to prepare for when you won’t fit into your clothes and stock up on those pretty pregnant lady shirts and pants,” I told her.
“Don’t remind me. I won’t be able to wear my band shirts when I become a blimp,” Bonnie added.
“You’ll be beautiful and I’ll make sure to have Vinny get you some of our larger shirts to wear when you can’t fit into your old shirts too,” I smiled down at my beautiful, glowing girlfriend before I leaned down to kiss her softly. I took hold of her hand before we left to join the others in the front lounge for breakfast.
