It's been 3 days since the wedding and me and Jimi are growing in love more and more as each day comes and goes. We just got back on the road again and we are heading for California. It's gonna be a long bus ride with two pregnant woman. I'm scared to know how this will turn out, especially because our bus gets really hot sometimes. Jimi and I were the last ones on the bus. As soon as we were on we headed out. It was also 2 in the morning when we left so we climbed in our bunks and went back to sleep.

I came out of the bathroom dressed in shorts and Jimi's old shirt and laid in my bunk. Jimi walked by and crawled in with me and I whisper,

"There is barely enough room in these things for one person. What makes you think two people are gonna fit..?"

"Like this" He lays flat on his back and pulls me to him so I'm laying pretty much on top of him. "And if you're not comfy I can always spoon you." He smirks and I just shake my head rolling my eyes laughing slightly.

"I'm fine like this. Time to sleep now."

"Yes my love." He kisses my head and I smile and kiss his chest once. He rubs my lower back and slightly my ass. I don't usually let him do that on the bus, but I'm tired and it's helping me fall asleep so I'll allow it. After a few minutes we drift off too sleep.

The next morning I'm woken by someone getting sick in the bathroom. I carefully get up trying not to wake Jimi, I knock lightly on the bathroom door. I hear Kim groan and I come in. She's kneeling on the floor with her head in the toilet.

"Kim..." I walk over and move behind her and hold her hair out of her face and rub her back. "Are you okay..?"

"Morning sickness. I usually feel better after I hurl."

"Okay. I'm here, Steve is still sleeping ain't he?"

"Yeah, it's okay."

"I know, you have me."

"I think I'm good now." She starts getting up so I do too and help her she walks out and goes to the kitchen. "I am gonna start breakfast"

"Kim, sit down. Please..? Just rest, you just got sick, let me get you some water and something like crackers so you can get some energy back."

"That sounds lovely. Thank you Kare."

"I'm always here." She goes to the couch and sits down and I get a glass of water for her and a couple saltine crackers for her morning sickness. She sips on the water and nibbles on the crackers and next thing I know I hear Becky getting sick.

"Kim I'll be right back." She nods and I get up going to the bathroom. I go in and take her hair holding it up and rubs her back. "It's okay Becky..." she gets sick longer than Kim did but I stay there and be with her. I'm there for about 10 minutes and Phillip comes in.

"Here Karen, I'll get her." I nod and get up moving out of his way. I walk back to the couch.

"How ya-" I stop as I see Kim asleep on the couch "Okay then.." I pick up the empty glass and the plate from the crackers. I put new crackers on it and get a different glass and put water in it and set it on the table for Becky.

I cleaned up the bus all morning. Steve woke and is now sitting by Kim talking with her, Becky eventually stopped getting sick and was sitting on Phillips lap. I cleaned up the plates and glasses and made everyone breakfast. Jimi got out of bed a few minutes ago and got some food. Out of all the people in this room, Jimi was the only one who said thanks. I'm not saying I need a thanks from everyone, but it would feel nice to be recognized. It doesn't matter. I under estimated the amount of food I needed to cook, so Jimi took the last of it leaving me with nothing. I walk to the back of the bus and change into clothes for the day. I sit down on the seats and lay my head back closing my eyes to relax. I hear someone put their plate in the sink and walk back. I open my eyes and Jimi walks back. He sits beside me and leans his head back too.

"Long morning...?"

"You have no idea.." He turns his head to me and puts his hand on my thigh. I set mine on top of his and scoot closer to him laying my head on his shoulder.

"Why don't you go lay back down?"

"I'm okay." Just as I said that my stomach growls. Jimi laughs,

"It's like you haven't ate."

"I didn't." He stops laughing.

"Babe..? Why haven't you eaten?"

"I underestimated the amount of food that needed to be cooked... and I gave the last of it to you. So I had nothing"

"Baby I would have shared or even given it to you."

"It's fine."

"It's not, I'm gonna go get something for you. What do you want?"

"Babe I'm fine."

"Karen."

"Okay... I'll have a bagel. You know what kind"

"I do. I'll be right back. Just stay here and relax. What would you like to drink?"

"Water or juice is fine."

"Okay baby" he gets up and I sit there. About 5 minutes later he comes back carrying a plate with a bagel and a glass of orange juice. I smiles and take it from him.

"Thank you" he sits beside me and kisses my temple.

"Always baby. I want you healthy." I smile and eat my bagel and drink my juice.

A few hours later Jimi and I were in the back of the bus cuddled to each other. I was leaning against him as he sits there holding me. He fell asleep a little over an hour ago. I let him sleep cause he looks so cute. I sit there thinking about the future. About another hour later I hear Kim say dinner is done. I look at Jimi and smile. I lean up and plant a kiss on his lips to wake him up. What I wasn't expecting is that he would kiss back. We started making out for a while until Kim came back.

"Y'all... stop playing tonsil hockey and come eat." We laughed and got up to go eat.

After we ate I felt very sick to my stomach. Strange... I was fine all day. Jimi must have noticed something was wrong cause he came to my side very quickly.

"Babe? Are you okay? You turned very pale"

"I don't feel really good... I think the food just upset my stomach some..."

"Baby food doesn't make you turn a pale colour that fast. Something else is making you sick."

"I was fine all day. I'm just gonna go lay down.."

"Okay. You want me to come with you?"

"No... I'll be okay. I don't want you getting sick. And I should stay away from Kim and Becky, I don't wanna get them sick while they're pregnant."

"Okay baby. I'll be here, yell if you need anything at all." I nod and go to my bunk to lay down. As soon as I lay down pain starts in my stomach. I realize it was really bad cramps. That or my insides are getting ripped apart. I lay on my side in the fetal position with my arms wrapped around my stomach. I hold my stomach during the pain and it made my eyes watery sometimes. I breathe through the pain and after a couple hours it starts goin away. I lay there and all of the pain made me tired so I fall asleep.

Jimi's P.O.V.

Karen wasn't feeling good so she went to lay down. Every hour I go in and check on her to see if she's okay. Every time I go she looks paler and is sleeping. Food can't make you turn pale that fast... I think of what else it could be but nothing seems to come to mind. I look at Kim and Becky and think. They are pregnant! Karen is probably having cramps during this time of month. Ever since she lost the two babies her cramps come even worse and she gets depressed and is always in pain for a whole week. This will be the first time we've all been in the bus for it so I'm scared of the outcome. Most times we are at a hotel or home so when she needs to yell or just cry she would and sometimes yell at me from the mood swings she gets. But with people here she'll hold it in or take it out on them.

I sit in the couch with everyone and watch them be happy pregnant couples. It kinda hurts knowing they have it so good and Karen and I have it rough. I know they don't intend to rub it in our faces but it does. I know I feel this emptiness and I know Karen feels it too. It's just hard. I get up and go to check on Karen again. I see she moved towards the back wall some so I crawl in laying behind her with my stomach to her back and wrap my arms around her laying them on her stomach. Eventually I fall asleep.

Karen's P.O.V.

I wake up to someone against me holding my waist. It's Jimi. I lay there keeping my eyes closed. The pain from earlier is slowly goin away probably cause I'm laying down not moving. The concert will suck. I'll do it for our fans. I lay there and I slowly turn my body towards Jimi. He wakes and starts rubbing my stomach and kisses my head.

"How ya feeling now babe?"

"Okay... I've been better.."

"You want anything?"

"No. I'm okay. I just needed to adjust myself."

"Okay. It's been a while since you've ate. I'll get you something in a few minutes." I nod and turn the rest of the way so my face is in his chest and just lay there breathing him in. I don't know why but just being near or actually touching Jimi just makes me better. I lay there for a while and he holds me. Then he kisses my head.

"I'm gonna go make you something"

"Make yourself something too. You haven't ate much either."

"I will baby. You want me to help you out to the couch?"

"No I will do it"

"Okay baby."

He got up and I watched him walk to the front. I lay there for a few more minutes and slowly get up. I knew it. As soon as I were to move the pain would come back. And it did. I gets up ignoring it and walk to the table sitting down. Kim watches me and gets a sad look on her face. I look at her knowing what's goin through her head.

"Kim I'm fine."

"Kare..."

"Please don't...?" She nods and leans into Steven. Phillip and Rebecca sat there and watched by didn't say anything. I looked towards Jimi. He was also giving me looks.

"Guys. I promise I'm fine. I just really need y'all to stop acting like I'm weak and can't take care of myself. I am an independent woman and I don't need to have looks from y'all."

"Baby we don't think you're weak. We just wanna make sure you're okay."

"I know... I'm sorry..." He kisses my head and puts a sandwich in front of me. I take a few bites of it and put it down. I wasn't very hungry but I tried to eat it for Jimi.

A few hours later we arrived and got everything set up and ready for the show. It was a great show, the crowd was awesome. After the show we came back on the bus and went to sleep as we headed off to the next show. Jimi crawls in with me again this time with his front to my back and his arms around me. Because I wasn't feeling good and all the movement from the show made it worse, so Jimi told me to relax and he would get me anything I needed. I didn't need anything so he laid down as we are now in case I did need something through the night. As much as I hate being taken care of... I love Jimi. He always puts me first and it's not something I was ever use too. He makes me feel special and I thank the lord everyday. Because he brought me Jimi.

I lay in the bed and try to fall asleep but the bumps on the bus keep me away. I don't wanna wake Jimi so I lay here. My stomach feels horrible and I would feel better if I had my medication. But I can't do that unless I wake Jimi. After 30 minutes of thinking and laying in pain, I roll over and look at him. I try and move over him carefully and I get up with my hands and knees on each side of him. And of course... he moves in his sleep and is blocked by my knee so he wakes up to me above him. He looks at me and smirks. I whisper quietly so I don't wake any one else.

"I know what you're thinking. And that's not it."

"That's not what it looks like to me..." I give him the look and he smiles.

"Watch your tongue. I need to get my medication and you were in the way."

"I'm sorry baby. Why didn't you wake me?"

"Cause you looked so cute and I didn't have the strength to do it cause your just you..."

"Baby I would have gotten it for you"

"I know but I needed to move. The bumps were keeping me awake."

"I'm sorry baby."

"It's not your fault. It's just a bad week."

"I know baby. Go get your medication" I kiss him and get up goin to the bathroom to get my medication. I grab what I need and get some water from the kitchen and take them.

I hate this week... it's a very bad week... I'll have multiple bad weeks for every month. I already had an outburst today and I know they will get worse.
