SIXTY SEVEN
Jenika was so excited she almost couldn't contain herself. It had been a week since her ultrasound and today she was finally going to find out what she was having. She had spoken with Olena about Tim's idea and she loved it. Other than Adam and Tim, Olena was the only member of the group that knew what was happening tonight.
Jenika was a planner. She knew they had a few days off in the same city so she had found a bakery and ordered the cake on the first day they were there. She was picking it up this afternoon while the guys were occupied with soundcheck. Olena ran to the store to get what she needed to make the sign for the video. Jenika could swear that Olena was just as excited as she was, if not more so.
The girls made it back from their shopping adventures just before UVIP started. They hid everything for the surprise later. Jenika stood just off stage and watched the group interacting with their fans. She could always tell which fans had done this often and which were newbies. Some fans spoke with ease as if they were old friends and others could barely get two words out. She sometimes caught Adam and Tim silently flirting across the stage: a wink, a smile, an accidental brush across the butt as they walked past each other. She loved their playfulness.
Jenika decided to stay where she was and listen to the VIP question and answer sessions. She noticed that most of the time they got same questions over and over again and each show. Occasionally a fan would come up with something original. Today seemed to be a broken record of the same old questions including the one about Adam's relationship status and the picture of her belly. As soon as she realized where the question was going she looked at Tim. He was trying to keep his face neutral but she could see his jaw clench and the tension in his shoulders.
Adam gave his standard answer about his personal life being personal and thanking the fans understanding that. The guys exited the stage after the song and headed for their dressing rooms. Jenika followed Tim and entered his room without knocking.
"You know you really should knock" Tim said bluntly.
"Shut up and come here" Jenika replied as she held her arms open to him.
He didn't hesitate to walk into her hug. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.
"I know those questions are hard on you" Jenika said quietly. "I can't imagine what you are going through sitting out there trying to hide your feelings."
"I try to picture something happy in my mind but that doesn't always work." Tim admitted. "So many of my happy thoughts are of Adam so those ones actually make it worse."
Jenika let go of Tim and walked towards the couch. "Come sit. Let me work on some of that tension." Jenika sat on the back of couch so she could massage Tim's shoulders.
"You know I've had to actually talk myself into staying in my seat sometimes?" Tim said as he turned to look at Jenika.
"Really? Like you were going to walk off stage?" She asked.
"Yes, really and no, I wasn't going to walk off stage." Tim laughed. "Sometimes I want to answer that question by walking across the stage, pulling him off his stool, and kissing him in front of everybody. Cameras and all."
"Wow." Jenika giggled. "I think that might just create more questions though."
"I know. So for now I just try to put on my happy face and pretend he means nothing to me." Tim's voice faded as he ended his sentence. He hated having to act like that.
^^^^^^^^^
Olena set up the green room with the cake, drinks, and the few decorations they had bought while Jenika and the guys finished up the signing line. She took pictures of everything she thought she might need for their announcement video.
Tim and Adam gathered up Rob, Austin, and Chance while Olena grabbed the crew and TJ, who was hanging out with them. They all met outside the green room where Jenika was waiting for them.
"What's this about" Rob asked as Austin said "Impromptu meeting?"
"No" Jenika smiled. "Just a little party."
"You know I love a good party" Chance laughed.
"Not that kind of party. Sorry Chance." Jenika replied. "We wanted to involve all of you in this moment. It's a gender reveal."
Olena squealed and clapped her hands as she let the guys past her and into the room. Once they were all inside Olena got things started. "I know we don't have a lot of time before we need to get on the road so were just going to let them cut the cake so we can eat."
Adam and Jenika stood behind the table. Tim picked TJ up so he could what was going on. Olena got into position with her camera to take video while Chance pulled out his camera to take still photos.
Olena pressed record just before Adam sunk the knife into the cake. He made one cut and let Jenika make the other. They grabbed a spatula to pull the piece out and lifted it up so everyone could see. Jenika smiled at Adam before giving him a sweet kiss. The whole crew whooped and hollered when their lips met.
Once Olena was finished filming she got to work on finishing the sign while everyone ate. When she was finally satisfied with it she got Adam and Jenika to hold it up so she could get pictures. She took pics of them smiling at the camera, smiling at each other, embracing, and a few of them kissing. She even grabbed Tim and TJ and included them in some of the pictures. She wanted to have plenty to choose from for her project.
Everyone finished their cake and cleaned up the mess. They boarded the bus to head to the next venue. Olena immediately pulled out her laptop to get to work. Chance gave her his memory card so she could use his pictures if she wanted them. Olena was still hard at work when everyone else went to bed. She was determined to have a couple videos ready for them to choose from when they woke up.
