Chapter 17
A month after Nicole came on tour with the guys she started showing. Amanda and Lieghanne had already gone home so Nicole spent a lot of time watching the guys or sitting in the hotel room. For now she could hide her growing stomach with baggy sweaters and t-shirts but not for long.
"Nick hunny do you want to go shopping today?? I thought we could maybe look around for some ideas for the baby's room."
It was Nick's day off and because of time change Nick wasn't tired at all. "Sure! I'd love to. Let me get my coat and call Phil.(Body guard)
***10 minutes later***
Nicole and Nick were waiting for the limo and discussing were to go. By the time the limo got there they decided to hit some of the toy stores and look for little things. They went to a monster toy store and began there search.
"Oh Nicole!! We have to get this!! If not for the baby then for me! Please?" Nicole looked at what Nick wanted so bad. It was a little mickey mouse in a basketball jersy holding a small basketball. It had a small string so you could hang it up.
"Sure, why not??"
Nick smiled and they went looking for Phil. They found him in the stuffed toys section reading the book "Everybody poops".
Nick took out his camera and snapped a picture of the giant man reading the kiddy book. Of course he chased them for 5 minutes, and then went back to the hotel.
When we got back to the hotel AJ came walking towars us with a small piece of paper in an envelope.
"Here Nicole, you got this in the mail." AJ handed her the envelop.
She looked at the return address. None. She looked at the stamp. It was from Nova Scotia and her name was in her mom's hand writing. Nicole eagerly tore off the envelope and read it. It read:-
Nicole, I'm so sorry that I haven't been talking to you. You're father is in one of his moods and doesn't want to talk to you. I wanted you to know that I support you and I'll always be thinking about you and your little baby. I love you and I know you'll do the right thing. You can call me whenever, but please only at work. I don't want your father upset. I'm there for you hunny, although you may think otherwise. Send a picture of the baby when it comes. I'm trying to make your father change his mind, unsuccessfully. Please don't mind him. He does really love you, even though you may not know it.
~Mommy.
Nicole let a tear slide down her cheek as she gave the letter to Nick to read.
He read it over and gave her a hug. "See, they care.Don't worry."
Nicole wiped her face off and went upstairs to her room.
***Later that night, right before bed***
Nick and Nicole sat on the edge of the bed talking about the baby.
"Nick, do you want to know the sex??" Nicole looked at him.
"No, I want it to be a suprise. You?"
Nicole smiled. "I want it to be a suprise too."
Nick kissed Nicole and went into the bathroom to have a shower. Nicole got up and walked around the room. She went out onto the deck and looked over the railing.
After 5 minutes Nicole turned to go in, but suddenly felt very faint. She tried to scream to Nick who never even would have heard and then collapsed to the ground.
