“Hey Justin.” Chris yelled running to catch up with him. “What’s up dude?” Justin asked turning to greet Chris. “I found out some more info on the mystery guy.” Chris said out of breath. “You did?” Justin questioned. “Yeah, I got to quit this, I’m getting too old.” Chris said trying to catch his breath. “What did you find out?” Justin asked. “Oh, I talked to her friends last night, and she meet him through work. They even had sex in her office.” Chris explained. “Go figure, girls tell their friends everything.” Justin snapped. “Yeah, well she didn’t tell them his name either. But she said he was handsome and the kind of guy she thought she wanted to be with. She also said he had an amazing way with words.” Chris explained. “So you’re looking for a smooth talking pretty boy?” Justin asked raising one eye brow. “Yeah.” Chris said with a smile. “That doesn’t narrow it down too much.” Justin said. “I know but it‘s a start.” Chris said. “Why do you want to find him so bad any way?” Justin asked getting serious for a minute. “Because what he is doing is wrong. He’ll pay for what he did to her.” Chris snapped. Justin jumped a little at the sound of Chris voice; it was so sincere and powerful. Justin hadn’t seen him like this before. “It does take two you know.” Justin replied. “I know that and Bailey admitted that she made a mistake, a big one as she put it. She is paying for it already, having a baby isn’t easy. You forget my mother was a single mom.” Chris explained. “You really do love her don’t you?” Justin asked. “Yes, I really do.” Chris replied. “I admire that.” Justin said “Are you guys coming or what?” JC asked holding the door open for them. “Yeah, we’ll be there is just a sec.” Justin said. “So, do you have any idea who you think it is yet?” Chris asked as the turned and walked toward JC. “No man, not a clue, I guess I need more information.” Justin explained then they both disappeared into the other room. Things went on that at for a few more weeks. Bailey still insisted that it wasn‘t important and Chris still insisted that he needed to know. They fought about it a few times, but the first really heated argument came during Nsync summer tour. Bailey and her friends had come to see then on the road. Bailey loved Chris but she was getting increasingly annoyed with him always asking her about her former lover. “God, look at you girl.” Lance squealed as Bailey walked over to him. She was now 2 and a half months pregnant and starting to show slightly. “Hello, Lance. How are you?” Bailey asked sweetly. “I’m fine and yourself?” He asked. She rolled her eyes, “I’ve been better.” “Morning sickness?” Joey asked. Bailey nodded. “Yeah, Kelly had that really bad the first few months.” Joey explained. “Please tell me it gets better.” Bailey begged. Joey laughed, “It will I guess after you have the baby.” “Hi, I’m sorry but I don’t remember your name.” Lance said shaking Marissa’s hand. “I’m Marissa and this is Kenya.” Marissa said. Lance shook Kenya’s hand. “You guys meet at my house that one night remember.” Bailey said. “Yeah, but Justin was in a hurry to leave so we didn’t stay long.” Lance explained. “What’s up with that boy any way?” Joey asked. “What do you mean?” Kenya asked. “He’s just been acting really weird lately.” Joey explained. “You noticed that too?” Lance asked. “The guy probably just has a lot on his mind right now; I mean it can’t be easy being Justin Timberlake.” Bailey said. “You’re probably right the group does put a lot of pressure on him.” Lance said. “There you are.” Chris said putting his arms around Bailey. “Oh no, you found me.” Bailey squealed. “Where are the others?” Joey asked. “JC is sleeping and Justin is on the phone with his mother, it sounded like they were having a heated discussion about something important, so I left.” Chris explained. Chris lowered his hands and rested them on her belly. “When are you going to tell me?” He asked looking her in the eyes. “Chris, when are you going to quit asking?” Bailey asked getting a little annoyed. “Why won’t you tell me?” Chris yelled. “Because it doesn’t matter.” Bailey said. “It matters to me.” Chris snapped letting go of her. She folded her arms and looked away from him. “This is silly, if you loved me you would tell me.” Chris said firmly. She looked at him shocked. “Baby, I do love you but I don’t want to hurt you.” Bailey explained. “You are hurting me by not telling me.” Chris explained. “Chris I can’t take this right now, please can we talk about it later?” Bailey asked. “No, I want to talk about it now.” Chris snapped. “Well I don’t I am going home, I’ll see you guys later.” Bailey said then left without another word. “Girl don’t do this.” Chris yelled after her. “Dude, you do know that pregnant women are very moody right?” Joey asked. “I am figuring that out thank you.” Chris said. “You shouldn’t push her, Chris. You're only going to drive her away.” Kenya explained. “Speaking of driving, Bailey just left us, that means we have no way home.” Marissa said realizing that Bailey had the keys to the car. “You guys can hang out here, I’m sure she’ll be back later. She just needs to cool off.” Chris explained. “If it’s cool with you guys, We would love to.” Kenya said. “Yeah, stay we will have a great time together.” Lance said sweetly. “Yeah, I want to talk to you about that guy some more.” Chris explained. “Are you sure that's such a good idea?” Marissa asked. “Of course it is, why wouldn’t it be?” Chris asked. “I mean Bailey did leave here pretty mad, you may figure it out but you might lose the girl in the process.” Kenya explained. Chris thought for a minute. “If I could figure out who it is then I could talk to him, get him to do it on his own. Bailey would never have to know that I know. I would just feel better knowing.” Chris said. “I guess, but we don’t know that much more than you.” Marissa said. “It’s okay, come with me.” Chris said taking them by the arms. He took the back to the dressing room. Justin was still on the phone but he hung up after he saw Chris returning. “What’s going on?” Justin asked. “I brought the girls in here to talk.” Chris explained. “About what?” Justin asked sitting on the arm rest of the couch. “The mystery guy, you said yourself that girls tell their girl friends everything.” Chris said. “I did? Oh yeah.” Justin said. “By the way ladies, this is Justin, as I’m sure you know, he agreed to help me figure this out.” Chris explained. “You know Bailey and I don’t really see eye to eye all the time, but isn’t it wrong for you girls to tell all her secrets.” Justin asked. “Yeah, it is you’re right we should go.” Kenya said, she was about to leave when Marissa stopped her. “Wait, you can’t tell me you honestly don’t want to know.” Marissa said looking her in the eyes. “I do, I’m sure she’ll tell us in due time.” Kenya explained. Chris went over and stood by Justin. He seemed a little stressed out. “So where is Bailey any way?” Justin asked. “She left; we kind of got into it.” Chris said looking at his feet. “Maybe you should back off a little; I mean I know you love her. I’d hate to see you lose her over this.” Justin explained. “I just wish she would see just how serious this is. My mother raised me by herself, it wasn’t easy growing up.” Chris said. Kenya looked at him, at least now she knew why he was acting this way. “She isn’t by herself. She has you Chris. You may not be the baby’s biological father, but if you love Bailey and want to be with her for the rest of your life, then it shouldn’t matter.” Marissa explained. Chris looked at her and was about to say something when Justin interrupted. “I would love to stay and listen to you guys, but there is something I really have to go take care of first, I’ll be back in a little bit and you can fill me in.” Justin explained grabbing his cell phone then walking out. The others just watched him and they went on about what they were talking about. JC woke up and walked into the main room still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Kenya laughed because his hair was all messed up. “Good morning ladies.” JC said with a smile. “Hello sleeping beauty.” Chris said motioning to JC to fix his hair. JC realized what was going on and then tried his best to fix it. “What are you guys doing any way, where is Bailey?” JC asked finally getting his hair under control. “She left, Chris made her mad.” Marissa explained. JC rolled his eyes, “You really need to lay off it. I’m sure she has a good reason for leaving you in the dark. She’s a very smart girl.” JC explained. Chris fell on to the couch. “Am I wrong, by wanting to know?” He asked. “Not for that, just don’t push so hard.” JC said. “You know, JC has a point. Bailey has to have another reason for keeping this from us. If the guy was just a jerk then she would want us to know and stay away from him.” Kenya explained. “Your right, I have been so busy trying to figure this out, I haven’t been a very good boyfriend.” Chris said sitting up. “You want my advice?” JC asked crossing his arms. “Yeah, sure shoot.” Chris said burying his face in his hands. “You should call Bailey take her out to dinner and not say another word about the baby’s father. Don’t drive her away like this, be the great guy we all know you can be. Then maybe someday she’ll come clean about it.” JC said sincerely. “That is great advice.” Kenya agreed. “Your right, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to be the guy I was before I found out she was having a baby.” Chris said. JC just smiled. “Do you want to be alone now?” Marissa asked. “Yeah, for a little bit, but I’ll leave, you guys can stay.” Chris said walking to the door. “But we don’t know anybody here.” Kenya wined. Chris stopped for a moment. ‘it’s okay Chris you go, I can show you two around for awhile.” JC said. “Thanks, JC. I’ll talk to you later.” Chris said, he didn’t want them to tell Bailey that Chris abandoned them in a strange place. He waved and then stepped outside. “Well ladies, what would you like to do?” JC asked offering each of them an arm to hold. They both laughed then took one. “This almost makes up for being left behind.” Kenya said resting against JC’s strong arm. JC just smiled and laughed.
