Note: This story was written for Joie Lee and the Nslashfic crew. I hope you all enjoy it.

"Same thing we've been doing. But now we get to call the shots," JC states. "Lance call your mom and see if she can meet us in New York. We're gonna have to put the girls to work, that's all. Chris, call Dani and have her meet us there too. Joey, can Kelly meet us there? Great. Justin, what's Brit's schedule look like? Think she can meet us? Wonderful. And Bobbee's already gonna meet us there, sooo. We won't say anything to the press until then. Make sure the girls know that too. Ok?"

"Right." They all answer.

****New York****

"So, JC? What is the plan anyway?" Joey asks.

"Um… well...I think I'll wait and see what the gals think. I don't know how they feel about anything so I don't wanna make any decisions just yet." JC replies.

"I knew there was a reason I fell for you." Joey teases.

"Really? And here I thought it was because of this gorgeous body." JC pouts.

"Well…Now that you mention it. That is a pretty good reason too, but I was thinking it was cuz you're so smart. Always thinking everything through. But we won't have much time before the press conference. Brit doesn't get here until 2 and the meeting is at 4."

"Yeah. I know."

"So, what we gonna do til then?" Joey asks mischieviously.

JC looks at him, "Joey. I don't think this is a good time….."

Knock, knock

"JC, open the door. I know you're in there," Bobbee yells through the door.

"Shit. I hate that bitch." Joey mumbles.

"Joey! Be nice. She is the mother of my child." JC admonishes.

"Yeah, well… I'll be nice til the baby's born. That's it. She's a bitch and you know it."

"Yes, know be have." JC opens the door. "Hi, Bobbee. What can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to say hi, and see what's going on."

"We're all gonna gather here at 2. Why don't you go lay down until then. I'll come and get you when we're ready. Ok?"

"Yeah, that's sounds like a great idea. I'm exhausted. Who is staying with me? I noticed there are two beds in my room."

"Um…We put Kelly in with you." JC answered. "She should be here any minute."

"Oh, ok. She seemed pretty nice the last time I met her. Isn't she your ex-girlfriend Joey?"

"Yes."

"Oh. Ok, see you guys in a bit." She walks back out the door.

"Damn, JC. You sure she's only 4 months? She's sure big for that."

"I know, but the doctor even said that's all the further she is. They're gonna do an ultrasound on her in a couple of days to see if there's something causing her to get so big. The doctors haven't been able to figure it out so they wanna look at the baby and make sure it's ok."

"That's cool man. You gonna go with her?"

"Yeah, I thought it would be a good idea. I think we're gonna go public with the whole baby thing. I don't wanna lie to the fans and with her getting so big, it'll be kinda hard to hide."

"Yeah, and it's not like the fans won't notice she's not with you. That woman is like a human barnacle. Everywhere you go, she's right there. I think the fans would notice if she was all of a sudden not there anymore."

"That's what I was thinking. What about you and Kelly? What are you gonna tell the fans?"

"I think we're gonna go public but we're also gonna say that we broke up, she's gonna keep the baby and I'm gonna support the baby."

"Damn, you're a good dad already. No wonder I love you so much."

"Really? And here I thought it was cuz of my gorgeous body?" Joey mocks.

"Ha, ha. Joey. You're just hilarious."

"Yep, and you love me for it."

"You got that right." JC walks over to the bed where Joey's laying. "You know how good you look, laying like that?"

"Nope, maybe you should tell me."

"I'd be happy to. You look so good I wanna kiss every square inch of your body. I think I start right here (kiss) with you forehead, then (kiss) your nose, (kiss) your right cheek, (kiss) your left…"

knock, knock

"Damn it. Who the hell is it now?" Joey bellows.

"Joe!" JC exclaims.

"Joey, JC? You guys in there?" Lance calls through the door.

JC gets up and answers the door, "What's up man?"

"Um… I know we're not meeting until 2 but can I hang in here with you guys? Chrissy is driving me nuts. She keeps running to the bathroom, I thought morning sickness was only a morning thing. It's noon and she's been throwing up since 6 this morning. I can't take it any more."

"Sure, you can hang with us. Has she tried eating some crackers? That's what the doctor's told Bobbee to do when she got hit with a really bad bout."

"No, I don't think so. You don't happen to have any do you?"

"No, Lance, we don't have any crackers in our room." Joey states.

"Joe!" JC chides. "I'll call room service and have some sent up. You can take them to her when they get here." JC grabs Joey's arm and drags him to the bathroom. "Why are you being so rude?"

"Because I was enjoying what you were doing before we were so rudely interrupted and I don't feel like having the guys trapsing in and out of our room every 5 minutes."

"Joey, (sigh) you're gonna have to get used to us getting interrupted."

"Why? We already decided that Diane, Karen, and Lynn were gonna do the management thing. Why should the guys need to keep bothering us once it's official?"

"Because, Joey, I'm keeping the baby."

"You're keeping the baby? What bab…. Oh! You are? Why?"

"Because Bobbee doesn't want it. She was gonna get an abortion when she found out but the doctor called me on accident and let it slip that she was pregnant. She wasn't even gonna tell me. Can you believe that? I would've never known."

"That's fucked up man. I can't believe she wasn't gonna tell you. So that's the deal you had with her huh? You take care of her and take the baby when it arrives? What happens after the baby is born?"

"We will officially break up. I'll make a comment to one of the interviewers or something and say that I'm keeping the baby. That'll be the last time you'll ever have to deal with her."

"Yes, thank you. You are so good to me. Now you need to get your gorgeous self out there and take care of Lance. I don't think he's doing so good."

"He's not. And I'm not all that sure Chrissy is either."

"Why? What makes you think that?"

"Let me go order those crackers for her and talk to Lance. Then I'll explain." JC kisses Joey on the cheek and then picks up the phone. "Yes, I like to order some crackers be sent to room 1209. Thank you. Lance. They'll be up shortly. Can you answer a couple of questions for me?"

"Sure. I can try. What's up?"

"Well, I was just wondering, how far along is Chrissy again?"

"She's almost four months."

"Ok. Has she been able to eat `at all' lately?"

"No, she hasn't been able to keep anything down since two days before she got here."

"Lance!! That's been a week. She needs to see a doctor."

"I know, but she won't go."

"Yes she will, as soon as we have our press conference. Either she goes with you or Joey and I take her. You make sure you tell her that when you take her those crackers."

"Ok."

"Lance?"

"Hmm?"

"When is the last time you got any sleep? Or Ate?" Joey asks coming out of the bathroom.

"Hmm? I… I… I don't remember."

"What? Damn Lance you gotta take care of yourself. What the hell are you trying to do to your self?" Joey admonishes.

"Joe! Don't yell. He's got allot on his mind. I'll call room service back and have them send something up for Lance. You can make sure he eats it and I'll take the crackers over to Chrissy."

"Ok. That sounds good."

Lance starts laughing, "Never would've figured."

"What? What are you mumbling about?" Joey asks.

JC picks up the phone and orders some food for Lance, "It'll be up soon."

Knock, knock

"Room service."

JC opens the door, grabs his key card, "Hi. Thanks. Joey, I'm gonna take these over to Chrissy, then I'll be back. You make him eat when it gets here."

JC takes the crackers down the hall, enters with the key card Lance handed over and says, "Chrissy? You here?"

"Yeah. I'm in the bathroom. Lance isn't here."

"I know. He's in my room. I brought you some crackers."

"Crackers? Why?"

"Because that's what the doctor told Bobbee to eat during her morning sickness. They're supposed to settle your stomach a bit."

"Oh. Well, in that case hand `em over." Chrissy states, sticking a hand out the bathroom door.

"You're supposed to suck on them, not chew them up right away. Don't ask why, that just what he told her."

"Did this shit work for Bobbee?"

"Yeah, it did."

"Oh, well then. I'll try sucking on them for a bit. Thanks JC."

"No problem. You want me to wait for a bit? Then we can both head down to my room. That's where we're having the meeting you know?"

"Yeah, that's what Lance said. If you don't mind, could you wait? I'll be out in a few minutes."

"Sure. With you being sick, I don't think it's a good idea, you being alone."

"Wow, you really are a gentleman, aren't you?"

"Well, I don't know about that. I know I feel a little safer when I'm sick to have somebody close by."

"Yeah, I can see your point. I just don't like to have Lance see me like this. He's not happy that I'm pregnant, especially since we broke up before I found out."

"Don't worry about that right now. You can't let that kind of stuff upset you or you and the baby won't do well."

Chrissy comes out of the bathroom, "Ok, I'm ready. I hope you got a stockpile of these crackers in your room. They seem to be working so far. I hope it lasts."

"Come on. We better get you to the other room. The rest of the group should be getting back from the airport anytime now."

They walk back down the hall and into JC and Joey's room.

"Ok, so where is everybody?" JC questions.

"They should be here any minute JC," Joey answers. "How's she doing?"

"Well, we made it down the hall with out incident. I'm gonna have room service bring up some more crackers though. I have a feeling we're gonna need them before this meeting is over."

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT WITHOUT EVEN DISCUSSING IT WITH ME. YOU ARE SO SELFISH BRIT. GOD, I HATE YOU." Justin yells as he and the rest of the crew arrive.
