The plane touched down on the tarmac and I squeezed Ashton's hand.

We were landing in Connecticut where the tour would be beginning. It wasn't starting until the next day, but we would be seeing the bus today and since there was now a family living on it, we would be settling in.

We made our way to the arena for the first show where the bus was parked and the group of us made our way off.

Ashton led me to the bus, the crates of our belonging outside, and when I stepped inside I didn't believe my eyes.

"I have a kitchen!" I gasped as I walked in and placed my hands on the counter. "With cabinets and everything."

Ashton laughed at my excitement.

"There's an oven and a microwave! I have both! And I have a kitchen sink! I don't have to use the bathroom sink!"

"Someone's happy." He chuckled.

"Yes, I had no idea i'd have all this." I hugged him.

We then walked past the bunks and into the bathroom, looking at it. It was small, but there would also be bathrooms in the dressing rooms.

Beyond that there was a back room where there were couches, more cabinets, and the video game consoles.

"Okay, everyone pick a bed." Ashton said and claimed the first bottom bunk for us.

Gracie took the one across from us and Ender was above her.

The guys then chose the next section of bunks and claimed one each and now it was time for me to set up the bus for us to live in.

I went outside and opened the first box to find my cooking supplies.

"Want some help?" Ashton asked.

"Sure." I smiled.

He helped carry the box inside and then connected his phone to the speakers to play music as we unpacked the kitchen.

The kids and the boys were outside playing with the dogs, while I sat on the floor organising pots and pans.

Ashton was putting plates, bowls, and cups in the cabinets for me and it felt nice working with him like this.

When we were done with the kitchen I sent him to put things away in the back room while I put blankets and pillows in the storage space under the sofa cushion.

Next I had to make the beds.

I started with the boys beds, putting on the sheets and comforters before placing a decorative pillow with their initial on it.

I then moved on to Enders bed, using blue sheets and a red comforter before putting a pillow with an E on it to show it was his, and then put a few of his toys on it as well.

For Gracie's bed I used light pink sheets and a matching pink comforter before putting a white pillow with a gold sequinned G on it and then put pillows that had crowns and said princess on them to finish it off.

For mine and Ashton's bunk I had white sheets and a white comforter, and put two black throw pillows on there with white letters, one with a C and one with an A.

"Hey! This looks awesome!" Ashton grinned as he walked to the bunk area. "Honestly, this looks so good. It's like a home."

"Thank you." I hugged him. "I want this to feel like a home for the kids. I mean we've moved around so much these past months, and this is the one place that will be constant for them for a while."

"I love it." He smiled and kissed the top of my head.

Ashton and I walked outside.

"Hey, come see the bus!" Ashton called out and they came over.

"Go look at your beds." I said and the boys ran back to look.

"Woah!" They said collectively.

"This is awesome, Car. Thank you!" Luke hugged me.

"It's awesome." Calum hugged me next.

"You really made it feel like home." Michael kissed my cheek as he hugged me.

"Okay, do you want to see your beds?" I asked Ender and Gracie and they jumped up and down and cheered as I walked them to their beds and pulled back the curtains so they could see.

"Princess bed!" Gracie gasped before climbing in it, sitting down on it. She held Sprinkles in her lap and smiled at all of her pillows.

"Do you like your bed?" Ashton laughed and she nodded.

"I love princess bed." She smiled and Ashton took her photo.

Ender then climbed up into his bed.

"Woah! This is awesome!" He grinned.

"You like it?" I laughed.

"Yes! Thanks, Car!"

"I sleepy, Daddy." Gracie yawned.

Ashton looked at his watch.

"Well its about your nap time. Are you ready for a nap?"

She nodded her head.

I took her shoes off and then she got beneath the covers of her bed, Sprinkles laying next to her.

"Have a good nap munchkin." Ashton kissed her cheek.

"Sweet dreams, my little Darcy Grace." I kissed her cheek as well, and then pulled the curtain most of the way closed.

Everyone went to the front of the bus to the living room/kitchen area, where I began to make a list of groceries.

"Okay, add what you guys want." I passed the list to Luke where he began to write down what he wanted.

"There's even a refrigerator. Ugh, I love this bus." I leaned onto the fridge and Ashton giggled at me as he took my picture.

I then peeked over his shoulder as he posted it on his Instagram.

'Moved into the bus today. Carter has a kitchen and as you can tell she is very excited about it'

He then shared the one of Gracie as well along with the caption, 'Someone was very excited about their "princess bed" on the tour bus. Can you guess who?'

"You know what, a nap actually sounds really good right now because my back is killing me." I stretched.

"I'll head to the store for you."

"That'd be great thank you. And while you're there pick up something for dinner tonight."

"Got it." He smiled and kissed my cheek before taking his wallet and heading out with Ender and Luke.

I went to our bunk and took off my shoes, rubbing my slightly swollen feet before laying down and trying to get comfortable.

My body had been starting to ache lately, and I guess it was from stress, so hopefully this nap would do me good.

I awoke to the sounds of cooking and the smell of seasonings.

I pushed back the curtain to the bunk and climbed out, stretching before walking out to the main part of the bus where Ashton was cooking in the kitchen.

"Hey, look who's up." He grinned at me.

"Mommy!" Gracie ran up to me and I picked her up.

"Hello, honey. How was your nap?"

"Good. Mommy, me and Ender made picture!Lookie!" She pointed over to the table and I walked over to see her drawing that Ender had helped her with.

"Oh that's pretty." I smiled and then kissed the top of Enders head as he sat there playing games on his phone. "What's for dinner?" I then made my way over to Ashton, Gracie now playing with my hair.

"I'm attempting to make stir fry so we'll see." He said as he looked up to smile.

"Need any help?"

"Nope, you can just sit down and relax, i've got this."

"Okay then." I winked and headed over to sit next to Luke who was watching a television show.

"What show is this?" I asked him after a few minutes of laughing.

"Friends. Wait, you've never seen Friends?!"

"No...?"

"Oh my God. Okay. You are watching the whole series, i'll start at the beginning."

It was fun watching the show with Luke, I felt like we were bonding.

An episode later dinner was ready, and Ashton made everyone a plate before we all went outside to the picnic tables where we could eat.

Gracie said her prayers and everyone held hands as she did and then everyone began to eat.

"This is good, Ash. I like it." I smiled at Ashton after I had taken a bite.

"It surprisingly doesn't suck." Michael commented and I playfully hit him on the back of the head.

After dinner we cleaned up and I washed dishes since Ashton cooked, before walking back to the bathroom.

I stared at myself in the mirror before sighing and changing into a sports bra, track shorts, and running shoes.

"Where are you going?" Ashton asked as I walked to the front of the bus.

"I'm going to go run."

"Run?"

I nodded.

"Care if I join you?" He asked.

"Sure." I smiled and waited as he went to change into basket ball shorts and a tee shirt.

We left the bus and made our way to the space next to the buses.

We started off in a jog and then picked up our pace as we ran around the pavilion where the venue was.

"So why are we running?" Ashton panted next to me.

"Because." I breathed.

"That's not an answer."

I didn't reply and kept running until Ashton grabbed my arm and stopped me.

"Carter. You've never exercised before. What's going on?" He asked as we both tried to catch our breath.

"I know you say it doesn't bother you but i've gained some weight and it bothers me. I want to get healthy and in shape."

"Okay. But will you please remember that no matter what you always look beautiful to me."

"I know." I smiled and hugged him.

We then continued on our run. We went around the arena twice before making our way back to the bus.

The two of us showered off in the shower, and it was tight squeeze which Ashton obviously had no problems with, and then went to put the kids to bed.

"Car, I want a loft bed in my room."Ender said randomly. He apparently enjoyed his new bed.

"Okay, we'll see when we get home." I told him and then kissed him and Gracie goodnight before getting into mine and Ashton's bunk.

"It's a bit cozy, but that just means I get to be closer to you." Ashton smirked as I laid down.

"Shut up." We heard Calum grumble from his bunk and Ashton rolled his eyes before reaching over me and pulling the curtain closed.

"Come closer." Ashton mumbled and then pulled me across the bed and onto himself.

"You're touchy this evening." I commented.

"So?" He smirked before attaching his lips to mine.

I chuckled between his kisses and allowed myself to get lost in the feel of him before laying my head down on his chest and falling asleep.

What seemed like minutes later I woke up to the feel of little hands.

"Mommy. Mommy."

I opened my eyes to see Gracie standing there.

"What is it honey?"

"Ender crying."

I furrowed my eyebrows and then got out of the bunk to find that Ender was indeed crying in his bunk.

"End? What's wrong?" I asked him.

"I don't feel good." He cried.

"Okay. Come on down and we'll figure out what's wrong." I said and he nodded.

He climbed down and I sent Gracie back to her bed before taking Ender to the front, closing the door that separated the living area from the beds so I could turn on the light.

"Okay, tell me what's wrong." I then turned to Ender.

"My stomach hurts." He whined and when I placed my hands on his face to wipe away his tears I could feel the heat on his skin.

"Is that all?"

"And I feel like i'm gonna be sick."

"Okay. Let's get you some medicine." I cooed at him before going to the cabinet where I had put the medicine and found what I needed before giving him the pills along with some water.

"Go lay down on the couch." I told him and then covered him up with a blanket.

"Car?" He whimpered.

"Yeah?"

"Can you stay with me?"

I smiled.

"Come here." I said and then had him sit up so I could bring him into my arms, holding him too me.

I covered us up with the blanket and then laughed as Bear jumped up on the sofa with us.

"It's going to be okay." I kissed Enders hair.

He nodded and then turned in my embrace to hug me, nestling his head on my chest.

Ender was a very emotional kid, and that's what I loved about him. Yes, he would act big and tough sometimes, but he was really the sweetest and most loving little boy.

I felt Ender fall asleep after awhile and soon joined him.

Later on I heard Ashton's alarm go off, and then opened my eyes to see him coming in the front room, holding Gracie in his arms.

"Hey, what's going on?" He asked me.

"He didn't feel well." I explained.

"Ah."

I gently moved and laid Ender back down on the sofa before going to start the coffee maker.

Luke, Michael, and Calum, slowly came out and I made them their coffee how they liked it before getting started on breakfast.

Calum took Bear and Sprinkles outside for a walk and then came back in with a sigh of relief.

"There's already fans outside."

"Really? It's seven in the morning." I said as I mixed pancake batter.

"You should come to sound check with us." Ashton suggested.

"I was planning on watching."

"No, I mean like come on stage with us."

"Ashton." I shook my head.

"Please? I want you too."

"I just don't want to be in front of all of those people." I sighed.

"So you can be at an awards show and walk down a red carpet with a million people watching but not go to a sound check with 500?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Fine,  but you owe me."

"Alright, how about..." He leaned over and put his lips to my ear. "How about an hour of you know what time when it's done?"

"Deal." I said, my cheeks flaring up in a blush.

He smirked at this and then kissed my cheek.

Gracie finally woke up by the time I finished making breakfast and then I went over to wake up Ender.

"Hey bub, breakfast is ready if you want some." I said sweetly as he opened his eyes.

"Did you make pancakes?" He asked me in a sleepy voice.

"I did. And there's bacon and eggs too."

"Okay." He said and got out of bed.

"How ya feeling bud?" Ashton asked him.

"Better." Ender replied as he made a plate and then sat down at the table to eat.

Gracie sat across from him with her food and after Ashton poured syrup on her pancakes she happily began to eat.

After breakfast it was time for everyone to get ready.

I had the kids brush their teeth before I got Gracie dressed in her light pink shirt and black leggings before braiding her hair into french braids.

Ender put on shorts and a tee shirt and then laid down while Ashton and I closed the curtain that separated our bunks from the boys so we could get dressed.

"Hey, there's my hoodie you stole." He commented as I slid on the black and grey tie-dye hoodie over black leggings.

"Oh hush." I rolled my eyes causing him to laugh.

I then packed a backpack with some cosmetics so I could fix my hair and makeup in the dressing rooms before we left for backstage.

Calum was right about fans already being there. There was security guarding the entrance to the bus area, and Gracie waved at the fans as we walked to the door that led us backstage.

We found the dressing rooms and I set up there and began to look presentable while the guys went to do their private soundcheck.

Ender rested on the sofa and Gracie played on the floor with the dogs.

By the time they came back I was ready and they decided what songs they were going to play during sound check.

"You should sing Beside You!" I suggested and they whined. "Please? I'll make whatever you want for dinner tonight?"

"Will you make pasta?" Calum raised an eyebrow.

"Sure."

"Then fine."

"Yay!" I smiled and they chuckled.

We had time to lounge around and relax before sound check was starting. Ender decided to just watch from backstage because he said he was nervous, and so we put him in charge of Gracie and when they got the okay to go out the boys exited from behind a curtain and walked out onto the stage.

"Come on." Ashton said after the boys had already gone out and I took a deep breath before taking his hand and letting him lead me onto the stage.

The fans screamed at this and I blushed as I held my coffee cup in one hand, and Ashton's fingers in another.

We walked up to the front of the stage and sat down on the monitors, Ashton being handed a microphone.

I looked out amongst the girls who were excitedly watching us.

Some waved at me and I waved back.

"See, they love you." Ashton leaned over to whisper in my ear.

"Shut up." I whispered back and he grinned.

"Hi guys." Ashton then said into his microphone and the fans said hello back. "So my fiancé Carter is going to be joining us."

I smiled and then he shoved the microphone in my face.

"No, what are you doing." I pushed it away.

"Say hello!" He said.

"Hi." I said into the mic and the spoke into Ashton's ear again. "You never said anything about having to talk."

"Love you." He smiled cheekily and I pinched his cheek.

"Yeah, Ashton convinced her to do sound check with us." Luke said into the mic.

"It took some bribing though." Ashton said and then wiggled his eyebrows making me smack his arm with my hand.

"Stop it." I said in embarrassment.

"Sorry." He leaned in close to me as if he was going to kiss me but I placed my finger on his lips to stop him.

"No."

"One kiss."

"No."

He then took my hand and playfully bit my finger before leaving our fingers together.

I then let go of his hand and took a sip of my coffee.

A girl then stood up and had a worker pass a microphone to her so she could as her question.

"What is something weird that you do when you're alone?" She asked and I immediately looked at Ashton with a gleam in my eye.

"I can tell you what Ashton does when he's alone." I took the mic and spoke into it.

"What are you about to say?" He looked at me suspiciously.

"On many occasions i've walked into a room to see you staring at yourself in the camera on your phone."

"I don't- okay that's only sometimes."

I laughed.

"Well when you take a shower you hold your breath whenever you go under the water." He smirked back.

"How would you know?" Michael asked and both Ashton and I blushed as the fans began to whistle and cheer.

"Oh my God." I went to hide my face in Ashton's shoulder. "Listen, I did not come out here to be harassed." I said into the mic and Ashton just laughed as he kissed the top of my head.

"I totally forgot what the question was now." Calum laughed.

"What is something weird you do when you're alone." Ashton said.

"I feel like this question could get inappropriate very quickly." Luke spoke into his mic.

"It already did." I said causing everyone to laugh.

"Mommy!"

Ashton and I turned around to see Gracie marching towards us with a grumpy look on her face, Ender following her.

"Ender take my candy!" She said when she reached me and I motioned for her to be quiet.

"You said she wasn't allowed to have candy and she got some from the bowl so I took it away." Ender explained.

"Gracie, Mommy and Daddy put Ender in charge, and when we do that you need to listen to him." I said and she frowned.

"But I want candy."

"And maybe you would've got some candy as a reward for being a good girl and listening to your brother while we were working, but you didn't so now you don't get any." Ashton said and she frowned even deeper.

"Now sit down. You interrupted the sound check." I said and they did as I said.

Gracie went to sit between me and Ashton and Ender sat in front of me.

"Am I gonna get grounded?" He looked up at me.

"No. You're not in trouble." I shook my head and then began to run my fingers through his hair.

Gracie leaned into me and I put my arm around her and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Mommy, I love you." She smiled up at me.

"I love you too." I kissed her nose and she giggled before placing her little hands on my cheeks to give me a kiss.

I could hear the girls aw at the sweet moment and smiled as I looked up, Ashton gazing in adornment at me and Gracie.

I took another sip of my coffee and then looked back at the fans as another girl went to ask a question.

"I have a question for Carter." She said and my eyes went wide as Ashton passed me the mic.

"Oh, okay." I smiled at her.

"What is it like to be on the road with the band?"

I laughed.

"Well it's fun. I mean, from a friend perspective it's nice to be with Luke, Calum, and Michael because I feel like our friendships have grown and honestly they're like brothers to me. But from a family perspective, this has obviously been a bit strenuous because of certain situations," I felt Ashton place his hand on my back as I spoke, "but we've grown closer as a family, and I don't think we could've done long distance now. I mean we've done it before but now with the kids it's just too hard to not be together and I think this has been good for us."

"And for me I love it because I get to have my wife and my kids and take my home on the road with me. I mean we had lots of conversations about it and Carter originally wasn't going to go but we ultimately decided that for our family that we needed to stay together. But it's good for the kids too because they get to experience all of these new places and people that most kids don't get to, so it's really beneficial for them." Ashton added.

The girl smiled at our answers and then the mic was passed to someone else.

"Car can I go get a snack from the bus?" Ender asked me.

"Yes, but take Gracie with you, and don't leave the bus."

"Okay." He nodded and then stood up, Ashton sent Gracie along with him but not before she gave him a kiss.

I watched as they walked backstage and then Ashton took my hand again.

I finished off my coffee and then set down my cup.

"Are you out?" Ashton asked me and I nodded. "Do you want more?"

"You don't have to." I shook my head.

"There was some on the table backstage, i'll go refill you."

He grabbed my cup and then stood up and walked backstage to get me some more caffeine.

He came back a minute later and sat down before handing me my cup.

"Thank you." I smiled and then leaned up to kiss his cheek but he turned his head so I kissed his lips.

"You trickster." I laughed.

"I love you." He bumped his nose against mine.

"I love you too."

The girls awed as he kissed me again and I tried to control my blushing cheeks.

Another girl was given the mic to ask a question.

"What do you miss most about home?"

"Uh, my family." Calum said.

"Yeah, I miss my family and also like i'm familiar with everything at home and that's nice." Luke added.

"I miss my bed." Michael said next.

Then they looked at us.

"I think I miss the house the most." Ashton said.

"I thought you would say your jeep." I replied.

"Well I miss that too but like, I guess it's like the feel of being home."

"No I get that." I nodded.

"What do you miss, baby?"

The fans screamed at this and Ashton looked back at them with wide eyes.

"What? She's my wife." He laughed.

I giggled at this and then he gave me the mic.

"I miss the town the most."

"Why?"

"I mean it's where I grew up, it's where we have our home, it's where we are going to raise our kids, and I don't know, I just miss it."

I smiled at Ashton as the mic was handed to someone else.

"I have a question for Ashton and Carter." The girl looked at us. "What is your favourite part of being a parent?"

"My favourite part?" Ashton asked. "I don't know, there's not one specific thing that I love, I love the entire job. I mean when you're a parent to young kids, you're like their best friend, they rely on you for everything, they love you and want to be with you and it's so amazing."

"I know with Ender, we love getting to bond with him over sports and comics and all of the things he loves, and he's 11 now but he still lets me baby him. Like last night he wasn't feeling well and so I got him some medicine and had him lay on the couch but he wanted me to lay with him, and I know he won't always let me baby him, but he will always be my little boy and so it's nice to be able to hold him while he still lets me." I said.

"I like the fact that both of our kids love being babied by us. I mean Gracie is still only four and can't do much for herself and she loves cuddles and kisses and letting us hold her, but I was worried Ender wouldn't let us hug him anymore but he still does. It's one of those things where they will only hold your hand for a little bit but they hold your heart forever." Ashton said and I beamed at his words.

"Knowing that I get to call them mine and love them forever is my favourite thing about being a parent." I spoke and he smiled.

"That and being parents with each other, those are my favourite things." Ashton looked at me as he talked.

"I have a question." Luke asked us. "What do you want to have next, a boy or a girl?"

Ashton and I laughed.

"Well we want to have both again." I said.

"I know, but do you want a boy or a girl first?"

"I don't know. I personally don't mind."

"I think if we did have a girl first, Gracie would not be happy." Ashton laughed. "She's like our little princess and if we had a girl first she wouldn't like the spotlight not being all on her anymore."

"Well, she doesn't get much of a choice." I laughed. "She's getting siblings no matter what."

"I want more babies, so she can get over it." Ashton cracked up.

They took a few more questions before going to play two songs, starting off with beside you, and I stood backstage to watch them, quietly singing along.

When sound check was done we headed back towards the bus.

I opened the door and walked up the steps to walk into a disaster zone of a kitchen.

Gasping, my eyes scanned over my two children covered in flour, bowls everywhere with stuff in them, batters spilled on the counter, flour on the floor and everywhere else.

"What are you doing?!" I exclaimed, Ashton following me in and gasping as well.

"We make cookies!" Gracie smiled.

"What?!"

"We were trying to make cookies to surprise you." Ender explained.

Although the bus was a mess, I wasn't able to be mad. They hadn't meant to make such a mess and they were trying to be sweet and surprise Ashton and I.

I sighed and tried to calm my flustered self.

"It's very sweet that you wanted to make us cookies, and I will help you guys make them, but you can't use the kitchen if someone isn't here. It's not safe."

"But I know how." Ender said.

"Yes but Gracie is still little and it's hard to watch her and cook at the same time. And also this looks like the entire kitchen exploded in here." Ashton said.

"I want you to clean this up and then we can make cookies together." I said and they nodded before starting to clean.

I ended up helping them, Ashton then taking the kids in the bathroom to clean them up.

When they were changed and Ashton had put their clothes in the wash, I had them come back in the kitchen to help me.

We made cookies together and I let them each have two before putting them down for a nap. Ender protested the nap but I didn't give him a choice.

Once they were asleep I walked back into the living area to see Ashton sitting there watching television. He had a plate of cookies on the little table next to him.

I went to sit next to him and sighed.

"So when can I cash in that hour of you know what time?" I asked him as I went to lay my head in his lap.

"Hmm, well the kids are napping, the guys are backstage...we could sneak to the back room, lock the door and get to it."

"Okay." I wiggled my eye brows and he laughed before the two of us stood up and quietly snuck to the back of the bus. Ashton locked the door and then slid off his shirt.

I did the same with my hoodie and then kicked off my shoes while Ashton did the same and then unbuttoned his jeans, hurrying to get them off.

He then lifted me up and went to lay me down on the sofa.

Ashton hovered over me and attached his lips to mine, but his mouth tasted like cookies and I began to giggle.

"What?" He pulled back.

"Your lips taste like chocolate chip cookies." I laughed.

"Shut up." He chuckled again and then proceeded to slide my yoga pants off. He threw them in a pile with our other clothes and then kissed up my left thigh before tugging my panties down as well.

"I'm still so lucky." Ashton said as his eyes raked over my body and I felt my cheeks blush as he smiled at me. He then grabbed our protection from a box in one of the cabinets before preparing himself.

I laid my arm over my face to hide my eyes rolling back in my head as he pushed in and I bit my lip to stop my whine of pleasure.

My hips bucked up to meet his and then I felt his hands grip my waist to control my movements.

"Look at me." He panted and moved my arm away so he could look at my face and I could look back at him.

His face was one of pleasure and concentration and I reached a hand up, signaling I wanted him to kiss me. He moved down to kiss at my lips, driving me crazy with amazing feelings.

"I'm almost there." He breathed after a few minutes and I gripped his shoulders tightly, silently telling him the same before I let go, feeling him do the same.

We took a few moments to calm down before re-dressing and going back to the living room.

"Wow." Ashton sighed happily after we had sat back down on the sofa. "I'll never get tired of that."

I giggled at this and then curled up into him, feeling him cover us up with a blanket.

After a while Luke, Michael, and Calum came to the bus and I decided to start dinner while Ashton woke up the kids from their naps and then took them outside to walk the dogs.

I began to make the spaghetti for dinner along with a salad and breadsticks, and Luke and Michael kindly set up the picnic table outside while Calum helped me with dessert.

When dinner was ready Calum helped me carry it all outside and set it on the table before we all had a seat.

We could see fans watching us eat dinner and they called out to us but we had to ignore it.

"Mommy! Spaghetti!" Gracie exclaimed as she began to eat and Ashton shook his head, laughing at his little girl.

"I don't know why you're shaking your head, that's all you." I said to Ashton.

"You're right." He chuckled and then took a bite.

The kids cleaned their plates so I let them have dessert, and brought out the chocolate cake Calum and I had made.

I cut everyone a slice and we ate our dessert and drank coffee until it was time for them to get ready to go on stage.

We cleaned up and then headed over to the dressing rooms where to my surprise I walked in to find Becca.

"Why didn't you tell me you were here?!" I ran to hug her.

"I wanted to surprise you!" She grinned.

Gracie hugged her Aunt Becca before I went to dress Gracie while Becca chose what shirts the guys wore with their skinny jeans and then fixed their hair.

I changed into skinny jeans and a black sweater before pulling my hair back into a pony tail.

I fixed my makeup and Becca did some winged eyeliner for me before the guys went backstage go get their guitars and put in their in-ears.

"We're going on in like five minutes, so you might want to hurry to the seats I got you." Ashton said.

"Okay. Well good luck." I kissed him, feeling him grab my waist as he kissed me back.

"Thank you." He grinned.

"Okay, tell Daddy good luck." I told the kids and they both hugged Ashton, Gracie kissing his cheek, before I picked her up and then took Enders hand, Becca tagging along as Brad went to walk us to our seats.

Fans took our picture and videoed us as we walked by and we got to four seats in the front towards the right where we'd be able to see Ashton.

I put Gracie's headphones on to protect her little ears and stood, holding her on my waist.

The girls next to us seemed a bit shocked that I was there but I introduced myself before the lights went down and everyone screamed.

Gracie wiggled happily in my arms and stretched her neck to look.

Ashton came on first and hit the drums causing everyone to scream louder and Gracie gasped.

"Mommy! It's Daddy! Lookie, Mommy! It's Daddy! Daddy!" She pointed at the stage and tried to wave at her Dad and the girls next to us awed at Gracie as I smiled at her.

"This is awesome!" Ender jumped up and down .

Luke, Michael, and Calum came out and then they started out with 18.

Gracie sang along in my arms while I tried to talk to Becca.

She was so fun and I loved having her as a friend.

Gracie and Ender continued to sing along and when they got to Don't Stop Gracie made me dance with her.

I really just swayed from side to side and bounced her on my hip but she had fun and that's what mattered most.

The guys played Amnesia and then went into Beside you, my favourite and I could see how much passion Ashton was putting into his drumming, and I felt like he was doing it for me.

At this point in the show they would bring a fan up on stage is what I had been told, and so the lights went down again and the guys got off stage with flashlights.

I was a bit surprised when Luke ran up to us, the fans around us freaking out.

"Come on, End." Luke grinned and Ender got wide eyed as he went to follow Luke. The security guard let us tag along and we went up the stairs on the side of the stage.

I waited there while Luke took Ender to the middle of the stage, the fans cheering as the lights came back up. Ashton went up to him and Ender hugged him, and I set Gracie down so I could video.

"Tell everyone your name." Ashton held the mic in front of a still surprised Ender.

"Ender." My boy stammered.

"And who are you?" Ashton smiled.

"I'm your kid." Ender said as he looked up at him and everyone laughed.

"Alright, now do you want to play the drums, guitar or bass?" Luke asked him.

"I want to play drums like my dad." Ender said and I felt my heart melt in my chest at his words and watched Ashton hug him again and kiss the top of his head.

They headed back to the drums and Ashton set him up before holding his hands like he did with me and playing out a progression on the drums.

"Mommy, look at Ender!" Gracie tugged on my arm.

"I see him." I smiled and continued to video.

"I go play too!"

"No, baby, you stay here with Mommy." I told her and she pouted.

When they were done they went back to the stage where a now ecstatic Ender hugged his uncles.

Ender then took the microphone from Luke and looked up at Ashton who was smiling at the kid, and said the words that confirmed everything about how amazing the kids and I both thought Ashton was.

"You're the best Dad ever!"
