Part 7: *Andy's POV* The next day, I was on the bus feeding Tuesday as I watched Ashley and Lily play "Operation" together.
I looked back down at Tuesday as she tried to grab my finger and kissed her on the forehead and whispered "Hey there my precious treasure. You were hungry, huh?"
Soon, my moment of peace was interrupted when I heard the game buzz.
I looked over at Ashley and Lily who looked at me and said "Try to keep it down. She's very tired."
But it was no use. As soon as I said that, Tuesday began to cry.
"It's okay...sssshhh...don't cry." I began to whisper as I got up and started to pace the bus with little Tuesday in my arms
As I passed the table where Ashley was still sitting, (because as I got up to comfort Tuesday, Lily ran off to watch Jake and CC play video games) I was scowling at him for scaring my baby.
"What?" Ashley asked "You did the same thing two years ago when Lily was a baby. Remember the bottle rocket incident?"
"Oh." I said, suddenly remembering that fateful night while stopped in Phoenix two years ago.
*Flashback-2 years ago* It was the night after Lily was born and Ash was a good mix of tired, stressed and in mourning.
All he wanted to do was put Lily in her cradle and go to his bunk to sleep the night off.
Meanwhile, CC, Jake, Jinxx and I were outside talking and drinking.
Suddenly, I got the bright idea to launch a bottle rocket I kept on the bus in case of a special occasion.
And since Lily's birth was a special occasion, this seemed like the perfect time (in our drunken minds at least)
I set it up as CC looked around for anyone who might see.
Jinxx offered Jake another beer but he refused claiming he had enough.
Then I shouted at the guys to come over.
"Hey guys! Help me count down!" I slurred
"T minus 10 seconds!" CC slurred
"9!" Jinxx slurred
"8!" Jake shouted
"7!" CC shouted
"6!" Jinxx screamed
"5! Wooo!" Jake exclaimed
"4!" CC shouted as he mimed playing golf
"3!" Jinxx shouted as he then fell over
"2!" Jake screamed as he jumped up and down
"1!!!" I shouted as I launched the rocket in the air then proceeded to celebrate with Jake and CC
But, the celebration was short lived as the rocket soon came hurdling back downward.
We looked up at the oncoming object in the sky and decided to grab Jinxx and run for it back inside the bus.
When we entered the bus, we decided to act natural in case Ashley wanted to know about the bottle rocket.
But, it didn't work.
As soon as we could get Jinxx in the sleeping position, the bottle rocket crashed through the window waking both Jinxx and Lily.
"What the f**k was that?! Did I do something to piss Sammi off again?" Jinxx asked as we then heard Lily screaming from the back of the bus
"Oww!" We all groaned while holding our heads as the noise got closer
"Sssshh...It's alright Lily. Daddy's here...you don't have to be scared." We heard Ashley say to Lily who was still screaming
"That's so loud!" CC exclaimed as he grabbed two pillows and shoved them against his ears
"Shut up man! Ash is coming!" Jake said
"He's gonna kill me when he finds out about that bottle rocket!" I said as I began to panic
"Don't forget, you did invite us to join you in your celebration." Jake said
"Will both of you SHUT UP?! I'm gonna be sick!" Jinxx shouted as Ashley came out with Lily in his arms looking like he could kill us all (if he wasn't holding Lily)
"What the hell were you guys doing out there?!" he asked angrily, but in a tone soft enough that wouldn't scare Lily "I just put Lily to bed!"
"We were going to celebrate Lily's birth." I said honestly
"By getting drunk, launching a bottle rocket and breaking a window? Come on, man. That's so stupid!" Ashley scolded
"Can you keep it down please?" Jinxx asked
Ashley stared at me coldly as he handed Lily off to Jake (who was still sober enough to reason) then, he hit me.
"Ow!" I cried
"You got Jinxx drunk?! He was supposed to met Sammi tomorrow!" Ashley began to shout at me
At this point, Lily was screaming even louder.
Jake began scrambling for ways to get her to stop.
He attempted this by bouncing her, making funny faces, making funny noises, even distracting her with his car keys.
All of those attempts failed until CC tossed a sock monkey at him.
Jake looked down then back up at CC and said "No dude! Not my sock monkey."
"But it will remind her of you." CC said laughing
Jake sighed as he picked up the sock monkey and showed it to Lily.
She immediately took a liking to it as well as seeing the new toy made her stop crying.
"Keep it. He could use a new home anyway." Jake said as he watched Lily cuddle the sock monkey
"Ash?" I asked, trying to distract Ashley from his frustration
"What?!" Ashley replied
I then pointed down at Lily sleeping in Jake's arms while cuddling her new sock monkey.
"Finally!" he said in relief then knelt down to pick up his little girl then, went back to the bunks
*end flashback*
Now it was my turn to get frustrated and freak out over a noise that made my own little girl cry.
But because of that incident, I just couldn't do it.
I just sighed and said "Sorry."
Then, went back to pacing the bus to comfort Tuesday.
Later that night, we were preparing for a show in Dallas when Ashley looked over at me as he finished tying Lily's shoes.
"What?" I asked as I put my little treasure in a sling
"Why are you wearing that?" He asked
"Don't judge me alright? I just want Tuesday to feel safe." I said "Besides, I didn't say a word when you let Lily sleep in a prop."
"Alright. I'll let you wear the sling...But you're wearing it under your clothes, right?" Ashley asked
"YES!" I replied
"Fine. That's cool." Ashley said calmly
*Ashley's POV* As the show went on that night, I could tell that Andy was getting ready to make some kind of announcement.
I looked over just as we ended "Goodbye Agony" and heard Andy beginning to speak.
"Okay guys, I have something to say." He said to our fans who took the statement the wrong way and booed
"Wait!...Wait! I didn't finish!" Andy said as the audience began to calm down "Last night after our show in Vegas, I got a phone call from my surrogate who was carrying my baby. If you've been paying attention to Twitter within the past few months, I was expecting a little girl and going to name her Tuesday. Well, guess what BVB army?..."
Then, Andy took his shirt off then, pulled the sling down to reveal little Tuesday peeking out of it.
Soon, our fans went into a frenzy!
"She's here!" Andy continued while smiling then, he kissed his little girl's forehead
