We were now in Los Angeles. We had a show tonight, then I could go back to Florida and see Sydney and Natalie in person again. I missed them so much. I missed holding Natalie. I missed hugging Sydney. I missed kissing Sydney. I missed sitting right beside Sydney and talking to her while holding her hand. I just missed everything about her. I couldn't wait until I flew back to see her tomorrow.

We were getting ready for the show this evening and I was just sitting in the dressing room. I was, of course, thinking about Sydney and Natalie. Sophia and Ashton then came into the room and sat beside me.

"So, Sophia, how are you doing?" I asked her.

"I'm pretty good. I haven't been throwing up much, and that's good," she laughed a little.

"Yeah, it is," I agreed.

"And, Michael, thank you again for giving Ashton the advice you did. He seemed super worried before he talked to you, then relieved once he finished talking to you," She smiled at me, and Ashton nodded, agreeing with her.

"You're welcome, and I told him that any time he needs more advice, I'm here." I told them and smiled, "Have you guys told your parents yet?"

"I told my parents. I called them back home, and I told them when we found out," Sophia told me.

"I'm waiting until I get home to tell my mum. I want to tell her in person.." Ashton answered.

"Are you excited to go back home?"

"Yeah I am. Sophia is coming with me and I'm introducing her to Mum. I haven't even told Mum about her yet," Ashton sighed.

"Wow. Well, I'm really excited to see Natalie and Sydney. I can't wait to see them in person again," I smiled.

"I can't wait until I have a little family like you," Ashton said.

Luke walked into the room and said, "Guys, the show is starting soon!"

"Okay, we'll be out," I assured him. He then nodded and left.

"Ashton, what are you hoping the baby is?" I asked him.

"I'm hoping a little girl. I love Natalie, and I want to have a little girl of my own," he smiled.

"Well, I want a little boy. I've always wanted a boy first," Sophia said, "But I do want to meet Natalie. I'll have to Skype or FaceTime you guys while in Australia with Ashton."

"Yeah, you will. I bet Sydney would like to meet you too."

Someone came in the room. This time it was Calum, "Guys, come on!"

"Okay, we're coming. See you later, babe," Ashton said before kissing Sophia's cheek.

I walked out of the dressing room, grabbed my guitar, then ran onto the stage along with the other boys.

"How are you doing tonight, Los Angeles?!" Luke yelled as usual.

I then introduced our first song, "This first song is called Beside You, and I would like to dedicate the song to Sydney and Natalie who as you all may know are my girlfriend and daughter. I can't wait to see you guys soon."

I got a lot of "Aww"s from the crowd for that. As I sang the song, I thought of Sydney and Natalie and how I wanted to be beside them right now.

During the last song, Unpredictable, I looked over to the side of the stage backstage and saw Sydney standing there with Natalie in her baby seat carrier. I thought I was dreaming..
