< Chapter 13: You Called Me 'Babe' >

♥ Jamie's POV: ♥

"Guess who?" a sexy voice crept up behind me as I sat beside Phoebe on the couch.

"Hmm, could it be... The love of my life?" I smirked, watching Justin walk around and towards us.

"Indeed it is, and he brings you a free grilled cheese sandwich just like his princess asked," he smiled, waving the plate in front of me. The amazing smell hit my nose, making me hungrier and hungrier. I was about to take it and thank him but he pulled it away from my reach. "Ah ah.. You must say the magic words first."

I pouted, "Fine. Please?" I shot him my best puppy dog face.

"As adorable as you look... I don't mean those magic words," he smirked, eyeing me knowingly. My eyes widened and I sighed. I'm hungry so I'll just give him what he craves.

"Justin Drew Bieber, you are the sexiest man alive," I say, rolling my eyes.

"There we go!" he cheered, handing me the plate and placing a sloppy kiss on my lips.

"Ugh.. Too much lovey dovey in one day!! Kill me!!" Phoebe complained.

"Look who's talking," Justin gave her a look. "Just two weeks ago, Jamie told me you went on a date with some dude you met at that restaurant you work in."

Phoebe's eyes widened and she shot me a glare.

"What? He's my best friend, too, I tell him everything," I shrugged. She pouted and crossed her arms.

"Still..." she murmured, and Justin sat forward.

"C'mon, are you two official? What's his name?" he asked with sudden interest. I guess he wants Phoebs to be as happy as we are.

"Fine, I'll spill.. His name is Noah Tyler and he was a customer at the restaurant and I was his waitress. We chatted while he ordered and we got along well. Now he stops by every now and then and yes... Actually we are dating," she confessed, blushing a clear and visible red.

"Aww, he sounds lovely, I wanna meet him!" I clapped, giving her a side hug. She rolled her eyes and giggled as Justin was about to speak.

"I think we should double date," he said with a smile. My eyes widened and I instantly nodded.

"Yeah! Yeah! We can get to know him better!" I agreed with my sexy boyfriend. Phoebe just sighed and laid back on the couch.

"I don't know... I'll ask him.." she said, fiddling with her fingers. What the..? Why's she so nervous?

"Is something wrong?" Justin asked the question for me. Phoebe looked at us blankly and spoke.

"Well, he doesn't know I'm sorta best friends with the Justin Bieber. What if he takes advantage of me just to get close to a celebrity?" she gulps. I placed my hand in hers and stared right in her eyes.

"Phoebe, if he likes you, he wouldn't do that. If he does, he's not the man for you. Simple as that," I advised her.

"Yeah but I really, really like him. I don't wanna lose him," she sighed again.

"You're gonna like a lot of guys, Phoebs. Not all of them will be the one," Justin pointed out. I turned around to look at him.

"You like me... Am I not the one?" I decided to tease him on what he had said.

"Babe, I don't like you. Geez you're so stupid, Jamie, you know I love you. You just like hearing it," he smirked.

"Fine, ya caught me. Happy?" I asked, playing up a pout.

"Very," he smiled, kissing my lips tenderly. We were interrupted by Phoebe's sudden outburst.

"OKAY, I'll ask him! Just don't start making out!" she exclaimed.

"Good. But I only have one rule.." I began.

"What?" Phoebe and Justin both asked at the same time. They looked at each other, smacked each other's arms and muttered a simultaneous "Oww!" before turning their attention back to me.

"Don't tell anyone I'm pregnant yet, not even Noah," I spoke sternly, pointing accusingly at Phoebe.

"Of course, Jamie, it's not my right to tell such a huge secret," she promised.

"Ok, then call him sometime soon and tell us the date you two agreed on," I said and she nodded. Just as I was about to stand up to get myself a drink, Justin plopped down on top of me so his head was on my lap.

"Hey babe," he smiled up at me. I groaned.

"Justin, I was gonna get juice!" I whined. His eyes widened.

"Juice? You want juice? Does the baby want juice? What kind of juice? I'll get it for you!" he jumped up and looked at me expectantly, waiting for my answer.

"Whoa there, Justin, you're gonna be such a nervous father!" Phoebe laughed as he narrowed his eyes at her.

"Shut up, peasant!" he joked and fled to the kitchen before Phoebe can cause any more damage to his arm.

"Phoebs, do me a favor and don't harm his face. It's one of my favorite things about him," I winked, causing her to roll her eyes. Just then, Justin returned with a cup on his hands. That was fast.

"Here's your orange juice," he smiled, holding it out towards me.

"I didn't even say what kind of juice."

"Well I know orange is your favorite, silly!" he waved me off as I took the cup of juice.

"Thanks, you've earned a big ol' kiss," I giggle and his eyes lit up as he leaned towards me. I pecked his lips with a loving kiss and he sat beside me in satisfaction.

"You guys clearly do not ignore PDA," Phoebe sighed.

"And you clearly do not realize things a little faster," Justin shot back with a smartass comeback. Phoebe snorted as I thought of something.

"Hey Justin, did you tell Ryan I was pregnant?" I asked suddenly. Justin looked at me and raised his eyebrow.

"Jamie, I didn't have time to. You told me about our baby before I left for 2 weeks and then I just returned. Plus, he's my best friend too but I respect that it's your body, you're carrying the baby and if you wanted Ryan to know, you would have said something," he pointed out, wrapping his arms around my body.

"Aww, thanks doofus," I smile.

"Please learn the word 'babe'," he groaned.

"I'll call you that when I feel like it now how about we invite old RyRy for a bit of friend time together. You and I are the closest best friends and then Phoebe is my closest girl best friend and Ryan is your closest guy best friend so let's all hang out together!" I cheered, digging in my pocket to pull out my phone.

"Good idea, babe," he yawned and Phoebe just munched on a cookie. Where the hell did she get that? Oh well.

I focused on dialing Ryan's number as Justin cuddled up to my stomach. I smiled down at him and played with his hair as I waited for Ryan to pick up.

"Hello?" I heard his voice say.

"Ryan? It's Jamie, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come over. Justin and I are hanging with Phoebe and thought maybe you could join in," I spoke with my smile still on my face.

"Wow, that sounds great! It's been a while since all four of us spent some time together. Sure I'll go!" he beamed. I'm glad he's all for it.

"Haha okay, come over when you're ready. We won't be going anywhere," I smirked.

"Okay, cool beans. Be there in a few!" he said.

I laughed, "You still say that?"

"What, cool beans?"

"Yup."

"Yeah, why?"

"Nothing," I giggled, "Just get your butt over here."

"Whatever. See you in a bit," I could almost see him rolling his eyes.

"Ok bye," I say and we hung up after that. I put my phone beside me and looked at Phoebe, who was staring at the tv with such interest. I giggled and looked down at Justin, who's head was now on my lap again. His eyes were peacefully closed and his lips were tightly shut. His expression was blissfully blank and it made him look very sexy. "Are you sleepy there, babe?" I cooed, leaning down and kissing his forehead. He's so cute.

He smiled without opening his eyes and got more comfortable on my lap. "You called me babe, not doofus," he smirked, finally opening his eyes slowly.

"I said I would call you that sometimes.. When I feel like it," I smartly retorted. He smiled again and closed his eyes, turning to his side.

"I love you," he whispered, sinking deeper into my lap. I caressed his cheek with one hand and kissed it.

"Love you more," I said softly. I watched as his sleepy body created the sound of gentle breathing and I felt his heart beat soften. He looked so hot when he was filled with sleepiness. "Babe," I called out to him, shaking him lightly.

"Mmm?"

"Don't fall asleep just yet. Ryan's coming, remember?" I remind him.

"Uh huh," he muttered as if he was half asleep. Oh great.. His face fell blank and his lips tightened. I knew that face. He had fallen asleep.

"C'mon, Justin," I complained, shaking him again.

"Stop, Jamie," Phoebe spoke up, turning to face me. I gave her a look of confusion.

"What? Why?"

"He's had a long 2 weeks. Rehearsals none stop, waking up early, the stress of not seeing you when he just found out you were pregnant. Let him rest.. He needs it," she pointed out.

"But Ryan w-"

"-If you really want to, he can sleep over. That way, Justin sees him in the morning," she suggested.

"Wow, that's smart..." I told her, amazed at her skill of reasoning. "But you're sleeping over, too, right?"

"Sure, why the hell not?" she smiled.

"Thanks, Phoebs," I smiled back. She nodded and gave me a hug, careful not to wake the sleeping beauty. "Hey, if I kiss him, do you think he'd wake up from his sleep?" I asked her, referring to being like the prince in Snow White.

Phoebe shrugged. "I dunno, but I wouldn't wake the beast." We both laughed silently until we heard Justin mumble something in his sleep.

"Jamie... D-don't.. Don't ever leave me... Please... I need you.. I'm lost without you..." he tossed and turned uncomfortably. Phoebe's mouth gaped open and she held her heart, making a pouty face which I guess was her way of saying awww!

I smiled and brushed his hair back in an attempt to comfort him. "Justin, babe, I'm right here. I'll never leave," I promised him, leaning to hug his body. He immediately stopped and became comfortable in my lap again, sleeping soundly. I looked at Phoebe and blushed. "He's afraid of losing me," I whispered.

Phoebe nodded with a smile. "That's so cute!" she squealed silently. I couldn't get my wide smile to leave my face as I looked at him once more. Why is Justin so perfect? I really don't deserve him, yet I've been blessed. I'm having his baby. And if I had to be pregnant, I'm glad it's his. My best friend. The person I trust the most. The person who stole my heart.

"I'll get it," Phoebe said and I realized the doorbell rang without me knowing. Whadaya know? "Hi Ryan, sorry but Justin fell asleep. You can sleep over and talk to him tomorrow, though!"

"Oh hi, Phoebe! And that's fine, can't wait. I haven't seen him in a little more than two whole weeks! Yikes!" he greeted Phoebe with a hug and they both came inside to the living room. "Hi Jamie, it's been a while!"

"I know, I feel like I don't see you anymore," I smiled. He gave me a hug and looked down at Justin on my lap.

"Wow, he looks good when he sleeps," he murmured. We both stopped and stared at Ryan, who had a blank, serious look on his face. Then he burst out laughing, causing us to giggle with him.

"Alright, shush! He needs rest, he's been overworked," I said, in between giggles.

"Fine. And are you two dating now? I mean, you've had sex, right?" he innocently questioned. I blushed.

"Ryan!!" I silently yelled.

"What?" he shrugged with a smirk.

"Ugh, fine. Yeah, we're official," I smiled proudly.

"Finally!" he cheered, making Justin sleepily turn away from the sound. I gave Ryan a look to remind him to be quiet and he mouthed a quiet sorry.

"Why don't we all watch a movie?" Phoebe asked.

"Okay, let's do it. How does Bambi sound?" Ryan agreed.

"I think you're never too old for it."
