Chapter Eight:
"...and that was 'N Sync with I Want You Back.  I think you'll be hearing a lot of them.  And after our break we have..."  Ali sat on her couch in her apartment, smiling at the guys going crazy in her living room and kitchen.  Her ribs were still healing, it had been two weeks since her accident.  During those two weeks, 'N Sync had gotten their album recorded, and they had just released their first American single.  And this was the first time they had heard one of their songs on New York's most popular radio station.  And four out of five 'N Syncers were going ballistic.

Justin was jumping up and down in a circle, Lance was running around her kitchen table, followed by Joey, Chris was doing cartwheels across the living room floor (B I G living room) and JC was still staring at Ali's stereo in disbelief.  Ali wanted to get up and celebrate with them, but she knew if she did, then she would end up in a lot of pain, due to numerous hugs from the members of 'N Sync.

She walked over to JC, avoiding Chris' flying legs, and wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him from behind.  "I can't believe it.  I was on the radio.  That was me.  I can't believe it," JC said, putting his hands over Ali's.

"I told you that this would happen, I knew it.  JC, you are gonna be huge," Ali said, while JC turned around to smile at Ali.

"I don't care if I'm huge.  As long as I have you by my side, then I will be ecstatic," he said, wrapping his arms around her waist.  Then he noticed her waist was a bit bigger then it was the first time he held her, two months prior, when they started recording the album.  He decided not to worry about it, she had been eating a lot of pizza lately.  But he didn't let it bother him, he didn't care.  All he cared about was holding her in his arms.

"So, does anyone have any girlfriends?" the DJ at Z100 asked the group.

The guys all looked at JC, and he said, "Okay, I'll be good, since the rest of the guys are staring at me.  Guys, stop it, you're freaking me out!  Anyways, I have a girlfriend, Ali."

"Ali, that name sounds familiar.  Is she the same Ali that produced your album?"

"Yeah, that's her," JC said, grinning.  "She produced the entire thing.  She even wrote a few songs for us, which we're eventually gonna release."

"From that smile on your face, it seems to me that you're pretty serious about her," the DJ said.

"I think I am," he said, still smiling.

~*~*~

"Hey, JC, I have to, kind of, talk to you," Ali said to JC, through the phone.

"About what sweetheart?" he answered, trying to keep his cell phone from falling into his lap while driving.

"Uhh, not now, we'll talk when you get here, okay?"

"Sure baby, I'll be right there, I'm turning onto Broadway as we speak.  I'll see you in a few minutes.  Bye."

"Bye."  Ali hung up the phone, biting her nails. 
How am I gonna tell him?  Should I tell him?  I'm still not sure about doing that, even.  His career is just starting, he doesn't need this.  Oh my goodness, what is he gonna say?  How am I ever gonna tell him? All of a sudden, she heard JC's familiar "Al-Lee, I'm he-ere!"

"Hi sweetie," she said as he kissed her on the cheek.

"What did you need to talk to me about?" he asked as he sat down on the couch, pulling Ali down next to him.

"Umm, I really don't know how to say this, I don't even know if I should tell you," Ali started, pulling away from JC's arms and starting to pace in front of him.

"Baby, you can tell me anything.  And stop that, you're getting me dizzy.  Just sit here and tell me," he said pulling her down once again.

Ali looked into JC's eyes, took a deep breath, and blurted it out.  "JC,I'mreallysorryaboutthis,butIhavetotellyou,Idontcarewhatyouwanttodo,butyouhavetoknow,I'mpregnant."

"What?  Sweetheart, talk slower.  Calm down, it's only me here.  Just tell me," he said.

"I'm pregnant," she said, looking away from JC's gaze.

He was silent for a minute, then he started to smile.  Ali didn't see his smile, so she assumed the worst and started crying, she couldn't help it.  "Sweetie, why are you crying?" JC asked, turning her around to face him.

"I...  I don't know.  Why are you smiling?"

"Because the woman I love is going to have my baby," he said, taking her into his arms.

"You...  You're happy about this?"

"Of course I am.  Ali, I love you, and I will love this baby."

"But your career, you can't-"

"It's okay, everything will be fine.  Ali, I love you.  Come on, let's tell the guys that they're gonna be uncles."

"Oh no, I forgot about them.  Great, Chris is gonna mess up our child, I know it."
