Tim looked back up to where his mother was pointing. Jenika was standing by Adam's dressing room looking at her phone. Adam was behind her, arms around her waist with his hands resting on her still hidden pregnant belly. His chin was resting on her shoulder and she appeared to be reading something to him. 

It looked like Jenika had finished whatever she was reading and she and Adam both smiled. Tim was about to turn back to his mother when he saw Jenika turn around in Adam's arms, wrap her arms around his neck and pull him in for a kiss. 

He was frozen in place until he heard his mother speak, "NOW" she demanded as she headed toward his dressing room. Tim followed slowly while trying to figure out exactly what he was going to say. Once inside the room he sat down and took a deep breath. He stared at his hands, unable to look at his mother.

"Timothy Regan Foust you better start talking." Dena said in her motherly voice that had always scared Tim as a child. He looked up at her with such a sadness in his eyes that she immediately teared up. "Oh, sweetheart!" Dena said as she pulled him into a hug. "I know you love him but you can't just let him cheat on you."

Tim sat up quickly "What? No. He's not cheating on me." 

Dena sighed, "Tim, honey, I know we were seeing the same thing. And that sadness in yours eyes tells me you're hurting."

"It's really not what you think. And I'm sad because all I've ever wanted is for you to be proud of me and I never want to hurt you but..." Tim trailed off as he dropped his head into hands."God, this is so hard to explain."

"Maybe you should start at the beginning." Dena said as she sat back and looked at Tim.

Tim sat up and got comfortable. "This may take awhile so please just let me talk." Dena nodded her head in understanding. Tim continued. "First, I want to emphasize that I'm very happy. Honestly, I've never been in a better place than I am now." Dena smiled at her son. "With that being said I'll get started.

    This is the condensed version. A few months ago Jenika and TJ came to a show. There was nothing extraordinary about it until the signing line. Austin made Jenika laugh while TJ was talking to Adam. TJ mentioned that Jenika hadn't laughed in awhile since her parents were killed. It really affected Adam. He saw them playing in the park outside the venue the next day so he picked her as the winner to come back stage so he could talk to her. They didn't get a long time to talk so he managed to get her number from TJ and called her the next day. We were off so he joined them at their campground. They really hit it off, as friends. She was already planning to follow us around all summer so we just gave them backstage access and they became a part of our group. We all became fast friends; she just fit right in with everybody. Olena was so excited to have another woman around.

     A few weeks later we were all staying in a hotel. TJ was with me and Austin and Jenika and Adam were hanging out. I still don't know all the details but they had been playing a game and ended up sharing some deep secrets about their lives. There are details I'm leaving out because they aren't needed to get the whole picture. Anyway, Adam and Jenika slept together that night. Let me make it clear that he and I were NOT together at that point. We were still denying our feelings. I found out the next morning and didn't handle it well. It was then that I realized I didn't just have feelings for him but that I loved him. Jenika figured that out and literally packed up all their stuff and took off so that Adam and I could be together.

    Adam and I finally admitted our feelings and became a couple but there was something missing. Adam felt bad about how everything turned out and Jenika wouldn't answer his calls. Long story, slightly shorter, we managed to get Jenika back to a show and made them sit down and talk. (He purposefully left out the pregnancy info here) We all did some thinking, soul searching, and a lot of talking. And here we are; in a relationship together. The three of us."

Tim hung his head and wrung his hands. He didn't want to look at his mother for fear of seeing hurt, judgement, and sadness in her eyes. Dena reached over and placed her hand on his knee.

"Timothy, look at me." Dena pleaded. Tim slowly raised his head to meet his mother's eyes. "Are you happy?" 

Tim nodded, "More than I've been before." 

"Then I'm happy for you." Dena smiled at her son. Tim jumped out of his chair and hugged his mother. "Thank you, momma!" Tim said before letting her go.

"This isn't exactly the relationship I had envisioned for you but your happiness is all that matters" Dena assured him. "Can I ask you another question?" Tim nodded his head.

"Sweetheart, is Jenika pregnant?" Dena asked quietly. Tim's eyes grew wide and he lost his ability to speak. "I'm going to take that as a yes" Dena laughed.

"But, how did you know?" Tim asked his mother. 

"Did you see how Adam had his arms around her? That isn't a natural position. He purposely had his hands over her belly." She paused. "And she hasn't had a sip of alcohol in all the time I've been here. It really wasn't hard to put together." Dena paused a moment. "It's Adam's?"

"Yes, sorry mom. You don't get another grandchild." Tim shook his head at his mom's dejected look. 

"Are you sure?" She asked. "I mean if you're all three..." She let her sentence die.

"Why do our conversations always come back to sex?" Tim sighed. "Yes, I'm sure. She and I haven't. Uhh. We found out she was pregnant the night we forced her and Adam to talk. We weren't in a relationship yet."

"What do you mean you and she haven't?" Dena asked. "So Adam gets both of you and you each only get Adam?" 

"Wow" Tim laughed. "Do you want details from the other night too? Should I just print out my entire sexual history for you?"

Dena raised an eyebrow at Tim. "Watch the sass. I'm just trying to figure this out. It seems that Adam is getting the best deal out of this. And you two are waiting around to see who he picks for the night."

"It's not like that." Tim was getting frustrated. "This whole three person relationship is still pretty new. I'm not just going to fall right into bed with her."

"Really?" Dena questioned. "Cause that's never happened before."

"Oh my God!" Tim said, exasperated. "Can we be done with this conversation please?"

"As long as you assure me that you are happy then yes." Dena said as she pulled him into a hug.

"I'm very happy. I'm ecstatic, overjoyed, elated, delighted." Tim laughed

"Stop showing off your vocabulary skills. You're free to leave." Dena smacked him lightly on the butt. 

"Ouuch," Tim grimaced and turned to glare at her

"We can talk about that later." Dena winked at her son as she walked out of the room.
