Chapter Nine


“Are you sure?” Nikki asked hesitantly.

“Positive Mrs. Chasez, absolutely positive.”

“Well, okay. Thank you.”

“JC? Are you here sweetie?” She yelled, walking through her front door, throwing her purse on the couch. JC coughed, sat up, and handed her back her purse.

“What’s in there? Bricks? He laughed and hugged her to him, “Hey babe.”

“I have something to tell you, Josh.” She whipered.

“What?”

“You might want to sit down,” she said gently, placing him back on the couch, and sitting next to him.

“JC,” She said, “I’m pregnant.”

He looked at her for a moment, “Uh….” He managed to say before he fainted.

“Oh God,” Nikki said, “What is he gonna do when this little guy is born?”

“Guy?” JC said, sitting up, “It’s a boy?”

You faker,” she giggled, shoving him on his back, “Go to sleep. And no, I won’t know what it is for a couple more months.”

“Oh. Still, either way, I love you.”

“Can you guys
believe Nikki’s pregnant?” Jenny asked excitedly.

“Oh, I know! Can you imagine how cute that kid’s gonna be? Those are some genes it’s getting there. Straight. Up.” Britney replied. She was an honorary member, that was for sure. When Nikki had gotten married, she had as good as re-joined Innosense. Nikki had said, after all, that she wanted to be with JC for the moment, but they knew she wasn’t gone forever. That just wasn’t Nikki’s style.

“Yeah. No offense B, but I really miss her.”

“Me too,” Veronica sighed.

“Yeah, you guys, but hey! She’ll come back soon enough!” Britney said timidly.

“Oh, Brit, we aren’t mad at you, hun! Don’t ever think that.” Danay said, giving Britney a hug.

“Actually, we aren’t mad. Its just weird without Nikki here, joking around.

“Yeah!” Veronica said, “Do you remember when she taped NSYNC posters all over the guys bus?”

They all laughed, “Uh-huh! And remember when she poured whip cream in Justin’s hair, and told him she was gelling it?” Danay said as she rolled over onto her stomach, still laughing.

“Yup. Poor J. Remember in Hawaii when Lance had our dressing room filled with fruit, and Nikki had it juiced and sent back to them?”

“Pure comedy. She gave Chris a run for his money.” Mandy managed to get out through her laughter.

“Sounds like it.” Britney said, “I remember the juice. They were drinking it for
weeks. JC wouldn’t let them throw it out.”

“I have an idea you guys,” Jenny whispered excitedly, “C’mere.”
