Chapter 25

*Madison's POV**later that night*

"Come here, baby." I said, reaching for Oliver and picking him up. I cradled him like a baby and kissed his head.

Austin smiled. "He's the only dog I've ever seen that likes being on his back."

I grinned. "Just like his daddy."

He smacked my leg and chuckled. "So what's the plan for tomorrow?"

I shrugged and kissed Oli. "You have press from 9 to noon, then a show at 8."

I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the bunks. "What are you doing tomorrow?"

I set Oliver in Alan's bunk. Alan snored and rolled over, snuggling him. Austin pulled the curtain back on his bunk and I climbed in. "I'm not doing anything."

He stripped down to his boxers and the climbed in, laying on his side and pulling the covers over us. "You're so lame."

I smiled and kissed him. "But you love me."

He smiled and nodded. "More than anything."

I looked down at my ring. "When are we gonna get married, babe? I've been waiting nine years. I just wanna be Madison Carlile."

I stroked her cheek. "How about this, baby. When this tour is over, we'll start planning. All my attention will be on the wedding."

I smiled. "Promise?"

He kissed me. "Pinky promise." He held his pinky out and I wrapped mine around it. He smiled and kissed me again. "Who's gonna walk you down the aisle?"

I shrugged. "Maybe Alan. I mean, besides you he's the only consistent man in my life. My brother and I don't talk anymore." I rolled over on to my back. "Yeah, Alan can do it." I smiled. "That'd be nice."

"That would be nice. We'll have a small wedding. Just close friends and family." He said.

I chuckled. "Well considering I have no family it will be pretty small."

He wrapped his arm around my waist and nuzzled his face in the crook of my neck. "I'm sleepy, babe."

I smiled and softly ran my long nails up and down his arm. It always put him to sleep. Within a minute he was snoring away.

Our wedding day couldn't come fast enough. I couldn't wait till we were married and having babies. There was no doubt in my mind that Austin was the one. He was my soulmate. We had accomplished so much together and I couldn't wait to see where we will be in another 9 years. I smiled to myself. I couldn't wait to have the 4 kids we planned on having, and one day having grand kids.

*next day*

"Madison! I'm back!" Austin called from the front of the bus.

I looked in the mirror and pulled my shirt up. I felt like I was gonna have a panic attack. My belly was getting bigger. I was almost two weeks late and I felt sick. I couldn't be pregnant. I don't want this happening now. I wanted to do everything right.

Austin opened the door and I pulled my shirt down. He smiled. "What's up?"

I faked a smile. "Nothin, just getting ready for the day."

He stepped in and wrapped his arms around me. "Well I missed you all day. And the guys are gone for a few hours." He grinned and kissed my neck.

I pushed away from him. "Austin we have a crisis."

He kissed my hands. "What's wrong?"

I leaned against the sink. "I think I'm pregnant."

He raised his eyebrow. "Seriously?"

I nodded and pulled my shirt up. "My belly is getting big. And I'm really late."

He sighed. "Okay." He ran his fingers through his hair. "Okay. Let's get you a test."

I poured. "Are you mad at me?"

He shook his head and held my hands. "Of course not, baby. Whatever happens, we'll handle it. And it'll be great."

I leaned against him and rested my head on his chest. "Baby, I don't think we're ready to have a kid. We're not married yet. We wouldn't have the space for a baby. We have a two bedroom house and the extra bedroom is our office." I sighed. "You're still touring a lot too. I don't wanna be alone."

He rubbed my back. "Madison, if you are, we'll handle it. Okay?" He made me look at him. "And if you are, that just means we're gonna have a baby." He smiled. "Now, let's go get you a test."

---I sat on the couch in the back lounge and stared at the tests. We bought two just to be sure.

Austin watched the timer on his phone. "Okay. 10 seconds."

I took a deep breath and handed a test to Austin. I picked up the other one and squeezed my eyes closed.

"Okay. Time's up." He said.

I flipped the test over and looked at the tiny screen. I smiled and looked at Austin. "It's positive."

He frowned. "Really?" He held up the test in his hand. "This one says negative."

I frowned and snatched it out of his hand. "What?" I held the tests next to each other. One said positive. One said negative. "What the fuck does this mean?"

Austin rubbed his eyes. "I don't know."

I looked at the negative test and sighed. "Fuck."

Austin scooted over to me and rubbed my back. "What's going through your mind?"

I shrugged. "I don't know. I seen that positive test I just pictured a big pregnant belly. It made me happy. But when you said that one was negative. I felt relieved." I looked at him. "I'm so confused."

He nodded. "I know." He rested his head on top of mine. "How about we just wait till you can get to your doctor? Then we'll know for sure."

"I guess." I said. I threw the tests at the wall and groaned. "I'm pissed."

He kissed me. "It's gonna be okay, baby."

He motioned to the door. "Here comes your son."

I looked over and Oliver came running in, jumping in my lap and curling up.

I kissed his head. "Hi, baby."

Austin kissed me. "I'm gonna go get some food." He got up and walked away.

I cradled Oliver and kissed his nose. "Do you want a baby brother or sister?"

He made a whining sound and ran away.

I nodded. "Yeah. That's what I thought." I laid down on the couch and groaned, covering my face and crying.
