Chapter 23 cont.
"So" JC said putting the conversation back on track, "can we begin again where we left off?"
"No."
"No?!" eight voices rang out.
"After everything he's done and risked your still gonna say no!" Britney yelled, "Girl those pickle and salami sandwiches are getting to your head!"
"That's not what I meant." Anndee replied.
"Well, what did you mean?" Justin asked.
"That we couldn't start where we left off." Anndee answered.
"But..." JC stammered.
"Before we discuss this any further," Chris said, "the four of use have a little sumthin to maybe persuade Anndee in JC's direction. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4!
"Your all he's ever wanted (yeah), your all he's ever needed (yeah), so tell him what to do now, cuz he wants you back." they sang.
"Well when you put it that way" Anndee smiled.
"Really?" JC asked.
"Si, mi amo, si." Anndee answered looking into JC's eyes which were brimming with tears as were her own.
"What did she say?" Justin asked, "OH, nevermind I think I got it." he said as JC walked up to Anndee and took her face in his hands, "I love you DeeDee!" he said looking directly into her eyes, "I love you soo much!"
"And I..." Anndee said as JC quieted her with a kiss so full of pent up longing, desire, passion and love that her knees literally buckled and she only had JC's loving strong arms to keep her from falling to the ground.
"And I love you!" She said as they finally broke apart.
"I'm never.." JC started to say.
"Shut up and kiss me again!"
"Yes mam!" JC said and kissed her till her knees grew weak once again.
"You two better stop that, or.. Oh wait she already is." Justin exclaimed.
"Maybe they could try for twins!" Joey replied.
"Ouch!" he said as Chris hit him in the head.
"You can't get pregnant when you already are, you Italian nimrod!" "What's a nimrod?" Britney asked.
Anndee and JC broke apart with laughter.
"Something JC is not." Anndee answered with a smile.
"ANNDEE!" JC exclaimed in shock.
"I never thought I would know THAT much about JC!" Chris wailed as he fell to the floor.
"I still don't get it." Britney exclaimed, mad at being the odd one out.
"Do you know what nim means, Britney?" Chris asked with laughter.
"Yes, limp, limprod? I still don't get it."
By this time Anndee had joined in on the laughter.
"And what is rod a metaphor for?" Chris asked.
"I don't know. Stick?...Pole?...Oh my.." she said as she finally comprehended.
JC burst into laughter as he saw the look of shock come over her face.
"You mean Joey has a..."
"Hey!" Joey said cutting her off.
The laughter turned into a deafening roar.
Cori and Shanna were on the couch in fits of giggles, Lance was on the Loveseat in tears, Britney had started to giggle, Justin and Chris were rolling on the floor red in the face, Anndee and JC were bent over with amusement, and Joey, well Joey was no longer amused.
"Oh my god!" Anndee gasped as she stopped laughing to clutch her stomach.
"What? What's wrong?" JC asked in fear."
"Oh my god there it is again!" Anndee exclaimed.
"What is, what's wrong, is it the baby?" JC said panicked.
"Give me your hand."
"What?"
"Give me your hand!" she said as she grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach.
"What..."
"Shhh, hold still" she said.
Just then JC felt the tiniest thump against his palm. "Oh my god was that, there it is again." JC beamed in astonishment.
"I think someone is trying to say hello to it's Daddy!" Anndee said.
JC fell to his knees and laid his head against Anndee's stomach.
Anndee softly placed her hands at the top of his head.
"Hey there baby!" JC said.
"I think I'm gonna cry." Britney whispered.
"What and ruin your make-up?' Chris joked.
"Shh, you'll ruin the moment." Justin whispered
Six pairs of eyes turned to him with arched brows.
"Hey, I have my moments!"
"Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep. Your soul is like a secret I never could keep....God must of spent a little more time on you." JC sang softly to his child that moved within the woman he loved.

"Yeah sure," she said, "why?"
"We have a wedding to attend in Hawaii." he answered.
"It worked! That's soo great. They belong together."
"Yeah they do," Lance said pulling her closer to him, "you know this whole thing with JC and Anndee has got me thinking." "About what?"
"About us."
"What about us?" she asked.
"About our future."
"What about it." she asked tensley.
"Only that we have one." He said as he turned her around and kissed her.
One week later
"I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss your bride."
The minister said as JC did just that.
"So does that give you any ideas?" Joey asked Cori.
"With you yeah right!"
"You know ya want me." he said.
"I know no such thing!" she said hiding a smile.
They turned to see JC and Anndee beaming at one another.
"Makes me wanna settle dowm." Joey said.
"What?" Cori asked, "no way, you!"
"Yes me!"
"And who with?" she asked looking at Anndee and all her happiness.
"Who knows." Joey answered looking at Cori with a twinkle in his eyes.

"DeeDee hurry up we're gonna be late!" JC yelled up the stairs.
"You try sticking this fat stomach into eveningwear." She said as she waddled down the stairs.
"Your not fat your beautiful." He said smiling.
"Nice one man." Chris said from the couch he and Britney were sitting on.
"But it didn't work, I'm to pregnant to fall for that one!"
"You really do look beautiful Anndee." Lance assured.
"Absolutely glowing." Marie added.
"Try again." Anndee muttered.
"Hey if JC wouldn't send me back to Orlando in little pieces, I would get with ya, if ya know what I mean." Joey smiled.
"Hey." Cori said from her place on his lap.
"We'll pretend we didn't hear that." JC responded.
"No we won't," Anndee said, " thanks Joey." Anndee looked at Justin, "Justin where is your date?" she asked.
"She stood me up."
"YOU got stood up." Chris said in hysterics.
"She didn't want to be upstaged by Britney and Anndee." Justin replied.
"BRITNEY! She was worried about Britney? Ouch!" Chris said as Britney pinched him
"I can still stand YOU up." she said to him.
"Then J would have a date." JC stated.
"Who says I would go with Justin?" Britney asked.
"I was talking about Chris." JC laughed.
"We better get going" Lance said as everyone gather to leave.
"You know Justin you could always be the baby's date."
"REALLY?" he asked.
"Sure why not."
"Cool in that case Uncle Justin accepts." he said patting Anndee's stomach.
JC smiled," Just no goodnight kiss!"
"That was so beautiful." Anndee cried in her seat.
"You thought Adam Sandlers Best Comic Album was beautiful?" Cori said from behind her.
"Back off." Anndee said through clenched teeth.
"Hormones." JC smiled.
"You get used to it." Chris stated.
"You should, your the reason for most of her mood swings." Britney bantered
"You better not do anything to upset my date's mommy or I'm ganna have to beat ya." Justin said.
"Britney wouldn't let ya!" Chris shot back.
"Don't be to sure." Britney said.
Anndee giggled. "OW.
"Are you okay?" JC asked.
"No stupid, I'm pregnant." she answered
" I still can't believe your gonna present Best Trio or Group,Anndee, what if we lose?" Joey asked.
"She remains the graceful and polite lady she is and hands them their award." JC answered for her.
"What planet have you been on?" Lance asked with laughter.
"I haven't been graceful or polite for almost nine months now, not since YOU got me pregnant."
"I'll shut up now." JC said
"Good idea their about to announce the winner of Anndee's catergory."
Presenter:" And the winner is Ty Riches."
"Morons!" Eight voices muttered.
"I still have a chance with "Eternity."," Anndee smiled, "I better go get ready to present." She said as she struggled to get up. "Um JC mi amo." she said looking at him hopelessly.
He smiled, something he had been doing a lot lately, and stood to help her up.
"Hey do you think you could announce our name even if we don't win?" Chris asked Anndee as she was about to leave.
"Chris I'm gonna...nevermind Britney will do it for me."
"Do what?...Ouch!"
"I get the task of awarding the award for Best Trio or Group, " Anndee said to the audience. "We have a great group of nominees for you tonight. Boyz II Men whose Grammy wins I refused to count. The Dixie Chicks, country's answer to the Spice Girls. BSB the second hottest boy band there is. I mean nothing compares to 98 degrees and those bods." she said as the audience laughed. "last but not least, a group I have a certain liking for. OW! So does this one." she said pointing to her stomach. "The group that helps put food on the table, *N sync. OW! Ok Ok I'll open it." she said to her stomach. "Oh good we'll have something to use as a paperweight.! OW! Will you stop doing that, so mommy made a bad joke, calm dowm so mommy can tell everyone that your Uncles and your Daddy just won a grammy." Anndee said to her stomach as the room burst into applause.
"I would like to thank our Transcon team." chris said into the mic.
"All of our family and friends." Lance stated.
"to the Academy." Joey spoke
"and to all of our fans" Justin added.
"To the Lord up above who has given us so many blessings," JC said, "though I'm still waiting on one..."
"Um JC sweetie I don't think your gonna have to wait that long," Anndee said clutching her stomach, "someone go get the car, because I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE MY BABY IN THE SHRINE!"
"I love you DeeDee."
"Shuddup you JERK!" Anndee yelled from her hospital bed.
"Does it hurt?" Joey asked.
"LIKE DUH!" The females shouted.
"Were is the doctor with my epideral?" Anndee asked through clentched teeth
"He's on his way but I really wish you would condsider not having one." The nurse answered.
"Bite me." Anndee answered.
"Here hold my hand." JC offered.
"Don't you dare touch me," Anndee screamed at him, "your the one that got me into this mess!"
"I'm gonna be an Aunt." Britney beamed.
"That's sweet." Anndee answered in a nicer tone.
"I'm gonna be an Uncle, an uncle an uncle!" Chris said jumping up and down.
"Go to hell you braided neianderthall." Anndee screamed as a contraction hit.
"Whoa, talk about your mood swings."
"JC give me your hand, give me your hand, GIVE ME YOUR HAND!" Anndee yelled as another harsh contraction hit her.
"Okay okay here it OW OW OW!" he said as Anndee squeezed his hand. "Drug her up someone just drug her up!" Justin said with concern. "It's bad for the baby." Cori said.
"But would be good for JC's hand." Chris said.
"Ok, " the doctor said has she entered the room, "your nine cm dialeted, so it's almost time."
"What about my epideral?" Anndee asked as she removed the feeling from JC's hand.
"It's too late for that." the doctor said.
"WHAT?" nine voices yelled.
"How about some morphine to take the edge off?" the doctor asked. "YES!" nine voices answered.
"Ok, i'll be right back."
"Well, I'm sure JC's hand much apprecitates it."
"Push Anndee push."
"You push you dick..ooooo my god!" she screamed as she pushed.
"Two more and we've got it." the doctor said.
"Get this baby out, GET THIS BABY OUT!" Anndee yelled as she once again pushed.
"Your doing great DeeDee, I love you so much." JC said as held her hand.
"I love you to now shut up and let me push."
"No not yet." the doctor said.
"Bite me!"
"Calm down you can push in a minute."
"Don't tell her to calm down, she's having a baby!" JC barked at the doctor
"Ok you can push now." the doctor said ignoring JC.
"Thank you for your permission." Anndee muttered.
"OOOOO MMMMMYYYY GOD! This hurts so bad!"
"JC Shut up!" Anndee yelled at him," your hand will regain feeling."
