“I think I’m going to puke.” Alexis said, staring at her reflection in the mirror.

She was wearing a white silk pantsuit with a tube top and a long black trench coat.  Her hair was pulled back in a loose pony tail and there were long whisps framing her face.  On her ears a pair of long, tear drop pearl earrings and around her neck a string of pearls with tiny diamonds spaced between. 

April just smirked and shook her head.  “Now let me tell you why that’s a problem.  One, if you puke, you’ll get all clammy and ruin your make-up.  Two, if you puke you might get that outfit dirty and we do NOT have time to get it cleaned and three, you and Michelle are my only models.  The show doesn’t work without you.”

“I still can’t believe I agreed to this.” Alexis replied, huffing a bit.

April gigged.  “Neither can I, if I am being honest, but here we are, there is no turning back now.”

Michelle just waved her hand dismissively.  “Whatever! We are going to rock this and I can’t wait to see the look on Justin’s face.”

“Wait?! What?! You invited Justin?” Alexis exclaimed looking to Michelle.

Michelle could only snort and shake her head.  “No, I didn’t invite him.”

Alexis’s eyes widened then landed on her twin.  “You invited Justin?”

April grinned and nodded.  “I invited all of *NSYNC.”

“Of course, you did.” Alexis smirked.

At this April couldn’t help but laugh.  “You thought I wouldn’t?!”

Alexis gave her sister a look.  “With you, I never know what to think.”

“Fair enough.” April giggled. 

Then she gave her sister a reassuring smile.  “Yes, I invited *NSYNC.  I figured I’d better because they would get upset if I didn’t and I am NOT trying to get back on Josh’s Shit list!”

Alexis laughed out loud and nodded.  “Smart thinking.”

“I do have my moments.” April teased.

“So, are we ready for this?” Michelle asked bouncing from one foot to the other.

She was excited.  Meanwhile, Alexis and April were both nervous wrecks but were trying not to show it.  Alexis was nervous about doing something that was SO far out of her comfort zone and having hundreds of people there to watch.  April was nervous about doing her very first fashion show and thus announcing her name to the fashion community.

“I think we are about as ready as we are going to get.  Let’s do this …because if I think about it anymore, I am going to talk myself out of it.” Alexis said forcing a smile.

From behind them they heard the sound of someone clearing their throat.

All three women turned to see Kenny leaned up against the doorway to the dressing room with a huge grin on his face.

“DAMN!” Kenny whistled.

Alexis bit her lip, smiled and shook her head.  “Is that good or bad?”

Kenny laughed.  “Haven’t decided yet, depends on how much drool I have to mop up in the front row.”

“Front row?!  Who is in the front row?” Michelle exclaimed.

“Gee, I wonder.” Kenny smirked.

Michelle immediately rounded on April.  “You put them in the front row?!”

April laughed.  “Well, they are VIP.”

“I hate you right now! I love you, but I really hate you!” Michelle squeaked.

“Are you ladies ready? It’s a full house!”

“No!” Alexis and Michelle both exclaimed.

“A full house?! Wow!” April added.

Kenny grinned.  “Yeah…you have people’s attention.”

April grinned with satisfaction.  “Well then, let’s go drop a few jaws!”

Then she looked to her sisters and back to Kenny.  It was obvious she needed a few moments alone with her sisters.

“Give us a few?!” April asked politely.

Kenny smiled and nodded.  “Two minutes…then we need to get this show moving.”

As soon as Kenny was out of sight April turned to her sisters again. 

“Ok, complete seriousness now.  I just want to take a moment to say “thank you” again for doing this.  I really don’t think there are any other people on the planet that could model my line like you two.  Nor would I want anyone else.  I love you both SO much and I know I haven’t been so great about expressing that over the last eight years but I promise that girl is gone.  You two will always be my world, no matter where we are or what we are doing.  Tonight is just as much about us and our sisterhood as it is about me and my designs.”

“Stop! You’re gonna make me cry!” Michelle sniffed.

Alexis could only nod in agreement as the tears started to well in her eyes.

April giggled and nodded as she too tried to push back tears.  “No, no crying.  You’re gonna mess up your make-up.”

“It’s time ladies.” Kenny boomed from the hallway.

“Ok, one last hug!” April said before wrapping her arms around her sisters.

***

The lights in ballroom dimmed as the lights lining the runway sprang to life and a spotlight illuminated the large, marquis letters, AD against the white backdrop.  Then, from the speakers boomed the bass beat from the song “Bang, Bang” causing all six men seated in the front row to inhale sharply.

“I think I am going to puke!” Justin hissed.

“You THINK you’re gonna be sick…man…I KNOW I am!” JC snapped back.

“SHH!” Hissed someone behind them.

“Both of you need to just chill, it’s just fabric.” Chris smirked.

At that precise moment Michelle appeared at the top of the runway.  She was wearing a pink and white houndstooth suit jacket with the zipper undone revealing a rose pink sequin bra and matching houndstooth mini skirt and rose pink heels.

“Just fabric, huh?” Justin snickered.

“Yeah, ok, I’m shutting up now.” Chris chuckled. 

“Exactly.” Justin replied.

Michelle had the trademark runway walk down to a T and as soon as she spied Justin sitting in the front row, his jaw practically on the floor she couldn’t help but giggle a bit and give him a wink.

Justin blushed immediately.

No sooner than Michelle had disappeared Alexis appeared and this time it was JC’s turn to squirm.

He took one look at her and immediately groaned then adjusted the cinch on his tie.

“Fuck me!” He mumbled.

“Later.  Save that for later.” Joey teased.

JC didn’t respond verbally he just shot Joey a withering look.  He knew it was all in good fun but given what he had planned for after the show his nerves were a bit on edge.

Next on the runway was April and as soon as she stepped into view JC couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head.  If someone had told him eight years ago that this was where he would be at this very moment he would have laughed in their face.  He’d grown as a person and as a man since then.  Now he could look up at his ex-girlfriend standing on the runway and not be consumed by anger and pain.  Now he could look up at her and appreciate all the hard work she’d put into this show and her designs as well as the part she’d played in bringing him and Lexi together. 

“Damn! She’s single, right?” Chris teased.

“NO!” Joey, Justin, JC and Lance all exclaimed.

“Absolutely not!  I love you man, like a brother, and there are no longer any hard feelings between April and I, but just NO!” JC said sternly.

Chris held up his hands in surrender and grinned.  “Joking. Just joking.”

One after the other the three girls paraded down the runway in different designs as the cameras all around the group of men flashed at high speed.  The crowd was loving the collection and JC could see several reporters hurriedly speaking into portable recorders. 

They were nearing the end of the show and as the end drew closer JC began to get antsy.  In less than 24 hours he would be down on one knee asking Alexis to marry him.  It was no wonder he was feeling nauseous.  Truthfully, he hadn’t been able to eat all day he was so nervous. 

The last “look” of the night was April’s favorite part of the collection.  As a little girl she’d always loved to play dress up and much like her sisters, held a nostalgic fondness towards Disney and the Disney princesses so for the crowning jewels of her collection she’d designed 3 ball gowns each one a reflection of her and her sisters’ style.

Michelle’s was a deep green with a plunging V neckline and a full skirt lined with dozens of green feathers.  April’s dress was a deep red and strapless with 3 layers of tulle filling the skirt.  Finally, there was Alexis’s dress.  Her dress also had a plunging V neckline with thick, beaded blue straps but the blue of the dress seemed to fade slowly into the fabric until it reached the skirt that was ivory white.

All three girls took the runway hand in hand as Justin’s “Sexy Back” began to play.  Immediately, Michelle shot April a look and grinned as Justin could only chuckle, blush wildly and shake his head.

“Why am I not surprised?” Alexis giggled through her smile.

“They’re smiling, aren’t they?” April shot back through gritted teeth, nodding to Justin and JC.

By this point they had reached the end of the runway and were taking the final bow as the crowd erupted with applause and everyone got to their feet.   Johnny and the men of the *NSYNC were clapping and cheering loudest of all.

Finally, after a few moments the clapping died down and April was given a microphone to address the crowd as the cameras continued to fire away around her.

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to say “Thank You” to all of you for coming tonight.  I had SO much fun creating for this collection and putting together this show.”

Then, she looked to her sisters and tried desperately not to choke up again.  “Also, I wanted to give a HUGE “Thank You” to my SISTERS…that’s right…these two beautiful ladies are my own flesh and blood, my muses for this collection if you will.  I couldn’t have done any of this without either of you.  I love you both!”

Then April looked to *NSYNC and winked. “Take note Ladies & Gentleman this is definitely NOT the last you’ve seen or heard from the Moretti girls! IN FACT…I think you’ll be seeing my sister, Danielle on the “Private Affair” tour with *NSYNC, in my designs, of course…and who knows…you just might see my baby sister; Michelle out on the road too.”

JC just smiled and shook his head then gave April a nod and a wink before giving his “brothers” the signal that it was time to move.

April nodded she understood then gave her final “goodbye” to the crowd before looking pointedly at Michelle and nodding. 

It was time to put the plan in action!

The house lights came back up and the crowd began to file out of the ballroom as April and Michelle each grabbed one of Alexis’s hands and started to lead her back to the dressing room as fast as they could.

As soon as they were in the privacy of the dressing room things started to move at warp speed.

April grabbed a hanger from the rack containing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and shoved it at Alexis.

“Hurry!  Change into this.” April commanded.

“Hurry?! Why?! What’s the rush?” Alexis replied, looking confused.

“We have a plane to catch.” Michelle chimed in as she shimmied out of her dress and into a pair of jeans.

“A plane? A plane to where?” Alexis asked, still baffled.

“We are not at liberty to say.” April giggled.

“Not at liberty…what…says whom?” Alexis shot back, now growing irritated.

Michelle grinned.  “Again, we can’t say.”

Alexis made a face.  “Ok, so Josh put you up to this.”

“Maybe.  Maybe not.  Maybe it was Andrew.” April teased.

“Or Kenny.” Michelle chimed in.

“Or maybe it was Justin.” April continued.

Alexis rolled her eyes.  “Whatever! I don’t really care who it was, just so long as one of you tells me what the HELL is going on?”

“We can’t say.” April said smiling at her sister.

She knew that this was driving Alexis absolutely crazy but she had made a promise to JC and this was one promise to him she fully intended on keeping.  He deserved at least that from her and even if he didn’t Alexis definitely did.

Alexis sighed in resignation.  “Fine! You can’t tell me. Got it. What can you tell me?”

April looked to Michelle. 

“Not much.  Really, the only thing we can tell you is that we have a plane to catch and we have to hurry.” Michelle explained.

“Can you tell me where we are going?” Alexis asked as April thrust a duffel bag at her.

It was then that Kenny appeared again at the door.

“Ladies, let’s move.” He said seriously.

“You’re in on this too?!” Alexis exclaimed.

Kenny laughed.  “I’m your bodyguard, of course I am in on it.”

Alexis gave him a withering look.  “Ok, then can you tell me where we are going?”

Kenny smiled but shook his head.  “Unfortunately, I cannot.”

Michelle grabbed her sister’s hand and squeezed it gently as they started for the exit. 

“Just trust us, ok?!  I promise, everything will make sense soon.”

Alexis stopped and made a face.  She was practically glaring at her sisters.  They were keeping something from her, something big and she didn’t like it.

“Really?! You won’t tell me where we are going, why or what we are doing, but I am just supposed to trust you?  Why, because you are my sisters?”  Alexis said, standing her ground.

“Works for me.” April teased.

Michelle gave April a warning look, then she turned to Alexis, her eyes softening.

“Look, I get it.  You hate surprises and you hate being kept out of the loop, but I promise you, it will all make sense very soon and it will all be worth it, but for now, you are just going to have to trust us.” Michelle said softly.

April nodded in agreement.  “I know, trust is still an issue with you and I but Michelle is right.  It will all be worth it in the end.”

“Fine!” Alexis grumbled.

Once inside the waiting town-car it was a short ride to the airport, but instead of pulling up to the terminal they pulled right onto a private runway where are private Jet was already waiting for them.

Alexis’s jaw dropped.

“Ok, what the HELL is going on?” Alexis exclaimed.

April couldn’t help but laugh a little.  Seeing Alexis this flustered wasn’t something she’d seen in a very long time.

“Get on the plane, then we can explain a little bit more.” Michelle said nodding to the stair case leading up to the cabin.

Once on the plane the three girls settled themselves in the plush, leather chairs facing each other and then Alexis spoke again.

“Ok, NOW will you tell me what’s going on?” Alexis huffed.

April and Michelle exchanged looks.  Neither wanted to give the secret away but both understood they needed to tell Alexis something.

“We are going to Florida.” April replied simply.

“Florida? Why? Are we going to see Mom & Dad?” Alexis replied confused.

Michelle shook her head.  “No.”

“No?! Then, why?” Alexis insisted.

“Think of it as girls’ trip.” Michelle answered.

“A sisters trip.” April chimed in.

“Yeah, I’m not buying it.” Alexis huffed.

“Ok, we’re celebrating…” April started but Michelle quickly gave her a warning look.

“Celebrating what?” Alexis asked, not catching the exchanged looks.

April gave Michelle a knowing look before proceeding. 

“SO many things.  The success of my show and my collection.  The fact that you’re going on tour with *NSYNC.  The fact that we are speaking again and not trying to kill each other.”

Alexis cracked a smile.  “Ok, you’ve got me there, but then why all the secrecy? Why not just tell me that from the beginning?”

Once again, April and Michelle exchanged looks but this time April knew just what to say.

“Because it’s fun to watch you squirm.” April smirked.

“You’re a brat!” Alexis exclaimed.

The flight from Los Angeles to Orlando was a little over five hours but it seemed to pass quickly.  Or at least that was how it seemed to Alexis. Before she realized what was happening, they were landing at Orlando International Airport.

Once off the plane there was a car waiting to take the three girls to their hotel.  Alexis said not a word until they were pulling up to the valet at the Disney Port Orleans Resort- Riverside.

Alexis looked to her sisters with her eyes wide.  Yes, something was definitely up.

“Disney World?!  You brought me to Disney World?!” Alexis exclaimed.

“Of course, we know you love Disney…we all do.  So, why not?” April said as the three girls stepped from the car.

Truthfully, Alexis couldn’t remember the last time the three girls had been to a Disney park together, and it did sound like a lot of fun but something inside of her was telling her that there was more to this trip than what her sisters were letting on.

“Fair enough.  Lead the way.” Alexis said shaking her head.

Check in went relatively quick and soon they were being escorted up to their suite by a Disney cast member. 

“A suite?! You’re kidding, right?!  How are we affording a suite?  I mean, I know my album is doing well but even I can’t afford this yet.” Alexis exclaimed as she and her sisters stepped into the suite.

However, it wasn’t just a suite, it was a princess themed suite.  Everything about the room was princess themed.  Even the faucets which were made to look like the magic lamp in Aladdin.  In truth, it took Alexis back to her childhood.

“WE aren’t affording anything.  The room is being taken care of by someone else.” Michelle explained.

“Who?” Alexis asked.

Then she made a face.

“Oh, wait, let me guess, you can’t tell me?” Alexis huffed.

Michelle giggled and shook her head.  “No, we can’t tell you but I think if you thought about it hard enough you would figure it out.”

April laughed.  “I don’t think you would even have to think about it very hard.”

Alexis shook her head and smirked.  “Josh! Josh did this, but why?”

April smiled but didn’t answer the question.  “It’s getting late, it’s been a long day and I don’t know about you two, but I am starving.  I say we get comfy, order some room service and then call it a night tomorrow is going to be a busy day.”

“Yes! Let’s order food! I haven’t eaten all day!” Michelle agreed.

It was obvious that April and Michelle weren’t going to give her any more information so rather than start an argument Alexis decided to just play along for now.

“Fine! I’m hungry and I really don’t want to fight so let’s order food.” Alexis agreed.

Within 30 minutes food had been ordered and delivered.

“This room…” Alexis started between bites of food.

“I know, right?!” Michelle giggled.

“Do you remember when we used to dress up and come to the Magic Kingdom with Mom & Dad?” April sighed smiling.

Alexis giggled.  “Yeah, Dad said we were going to break the bank because we always insisted on getting more princess gear every time we came.”

“Who was your favorite? I can’t remember?” Michelle replied, directing her question towards April.

“Aurora! Always! I mean, that dress, the way it went from pink to blue.  I was so jealous!” April laughed.

“Who was yours?” Alexis asked Michelle.

“Ariel! A castle on the beach…sounds perfect to me.” Michelle giggled flopping back on the pillows.

“What about you, Lexi?” April asked directing her focus towards her twin.

“Belle! Definitely, Belle!  I just loved how fearless she was, and yeah, that dress is iconic!”

“So, you do like dresses?!” April teased giving Michelle a look.

Alexis laughed. “For some things, yes.”

“Good to know.” April said grinning.

For the next hour or so the girls talked and ate like it was old times and they were back in their childhood home.  Then, sometime after midnight they all crashed, not bothering to even get under the covers.

At about 7:30 a.m. an alarm went off on Michelle’s phone signaling it was time to get up. 

“Make it stop!” Alexis groaned from the bed.

“Nope! Time to get up, we’ve got places to be.” Michelle giggled hopping out of the bed.

“If this is a repeat performance of yesterday where you can’t tell me anything I think I’ll pass.  I will just stay here at the hotel and sleep.”

“Not happening! C’mon, get up.  Get in the shower.  Today is going to be great.” Michelle laughed.

“Is she always this cheery at an ungodly hour?” April groaned from the 2nd bed.

“Yup. Pretty much!” Alexis snickered as she pushed herself up to sit.

“Ugh! Thank GOD she is your roommate and not mine.” April replied.

Michelle just laughed more and shook her head.  Really, her sisters were more alike than even they realized.  This was just further evidence of that.

“C’mon both of you, get up, one of you get in the shower and let’s get moving.” Michelle insisted.

“Fine! Fine! I’m up!  Don’t get your Victoria’s Secrets in a wad!” Alexis huffed as she stumbled towards the bathroom.

Given that she didn’t really know what her sisters had planned Alexis decided to take a more thorough shower.  She wanted to be up for anything and she wanted to look decent just in case she was spotted by fans or they decided to do something special in the park. 

When she stepped out of the shower to dry and get dressed there were clothes already waiting for her.  A pair of cute, low-rise jeans that were faded and distressed perfectly.  A pair of Addidas tennis shoes with a light purple swish and a matching light purple t-shirt with a silhouette outline of Belle, Ariel, Jasmine and Mulan and the words #SquadGoals in black on the front.  On the back were the words “Alexis D.” Then, to complete the outfit a pair of pale purple Minnie Mouse ears.

Giggling a bit and shaking her head, Alexis put on the outfit and then carefully styled her hair and put the ears on before walking back into the bedroom portion of the suite.

“Was this your doing?” Alexis asked, nodding to April.

“Yes, and No.  I ordered the outfits, what with the show I didn’t have time for anything else.”

Alexis nodded. It made sense.  Then, a thought occurred to her.

“Wait?! Outfits?! As in plural?!” Alexis replied.

“You’ll see.” April replied with a grin as she headed for her turn in the shower.

An hour later all three girls were standing in the suite dressed and ready for a day in the Magic Kingdom.  Just as Alexis had suspected, Michelle and April had matching outfits.  April’s was pale blue with the name “April D.” on the back and Michelle’s was a seafoam green with the words “Michelle R.” on the back of hers, and each girl had a pair of matching ears to complete the ensemble.

“Matchy-matchy, huh?! What are we 10?!” Alexis teased.

“We look cute, quit complaining.” April smirked.

Alexis just laughed and shook her head.  “Yeah, ok, we look cute, can we go now?”

“Yes, let’s go…before the line at “It’s A Small World” gets crazy long!” Michelle squealed.

“It’s A Small World?” Alexis asked surprised.

Truthfully, she didn’t think that either of her sisters had remembered that family tradition but apparently, she was wrong.

“Yup! Moretti family tradition! Now, let’s go!” Michelle said before grabbing her sisters both by hand and dragging them towards the elevators.

Alexis smiled and nodded. “Ok, let’s go.”

Together the three girls spent most of the day in the park.  They did almost every ride together.  Posed for more pictures with more characters than Alexis could possibly count and just had a blast.  Truthfully, what Alexis remembered the most was the laughter.  She couldn’t remember a time when she had this much fun or laughed this much with both of her sisters.  It was a great day.

“Where to now?” Alexis asked as they were coming off “Pirates of the Carribean.”

It was nearing sunset, meaning it was almost dinner time and therefore, the next step in JC’s plan.

Michelle looked down at her watch briefly then up at April and nodded.  It was time!

“How about some dinner?” April suggested with a wink to Michelle.

Alexis nodded. “Yes! Please! Dinner sounds AMAZING!  Those Spring Rolls we had at lunch seem like ages ago.  Where do we want to go?”

Michelle grinned.  “How about “Be Our Guest?!”

Alexis gave her sister a curious look.  Both Michelle and April were being weird again, which could only mean something was up.

“Don’t you need a reservation for that place?” Alexis replied.

She had decided to just go with it.

“Not tonight.” April smirked.

“Umm…ok…sure…I’ve always wanted to try it.”

Smiling like giddy school girls April and Michelle both took Alexis by the hand and started leading her to towards Fantasy land and the restaurant. 

At the entrance both girls stopped then slowly let go of Alexis’s hands.  Powered by a force she didn’t recognize or even notice Alexis kept walking.  She walked all the way through the entrance and right up to the main entrance to the Grand Ballroom.  It looked just like the movie and she gasped.

For a moment she froze.  It was a restaurant, so there should be tables all around but the Ballroom was empty or nearly empty.

Not knowing what to do or where to turn Alexis turned back to look for her sisters but they were gone.  They had literally disappeared.

When she turned back her breath immediately caught in her throat.

There, standing in the center of the ballroom floor, dressed in a perfectly tailored black suit and tie was Josh. 

“Do you want to tell me what’s going on?” Alexis asked as she tried to swallow the lump in her throat.

JC smiled and shook his head.  “No, but if you come here, I’ll show you.”

Nervously, Alexis stepped closer until she was standing directly in front of him.  Her heart was pounding and her knees were shaking but she was trying to stay calm.

“Are you ready Pretty lady?” He asked with a smile.

“Ready for what?” Alexis asked, her voice a whisper.

Again, JC smiled, then without another word he got down on one knee in the center of the ballroom and pulled a velvet box from his pocket.

Trying not to tear up himself he opened the box to reveal the ring inside and held it out to her.

“Are you ready to be my wife?” He asked.

“Excuse me?!” Alexis gasped as her heart began to ram into her chest.

JC couldn’t help but chuckle.  Her reaction was not at all surprising and he wasn’t upset about it either.  It was exactly what he’d come to love about her.  She was always keeping him on his toes.

“Will you marry me Alexis Danielle Moretti?” He asked again.

A wave of emotions washed over her as tears started to spill down her cheeks.  Suddenly, her sisters’ words made sense. 

Giggling, crying and nodding all at once Alexis found her voice enough to answer him.

“Yes, yes Joshua Scott Chasez. I will marry you!” Alexis replied.

From the faux balconies above cheers and applause erupted around her.  Alexis laughed and cried as she looked up to see her sisters, her parents, the other members of *NSYNC, JC’s family, Lonnie, Kenny and Dre all cheering.  Meanwhile JC was slipping the ring on her finger.

“I love you Lexi!” JC said before kissing her softly.

“I love you more Josh!”

“Not possible.” JC chuckled before kissing her again.

“We’ll see.” Alexis teased before popping a third kiss on him.

“You bet we will Pretty lady!” JC grinned.

***

The Epilogue- One year later

Justin Timberlake was seated behind a sound board bobbing his head and grooving as he pushed buttons on a control panel.  For the first time in quite a while he was producing again and he was excited.  This song was going to be FIRE!

Then again, he was a bit partial towards the artists involved but even so, it was a great song.

Smiling he let the track fade out and then pushed the button to talk.

“Should we try it just one more time?” Justin asked.

“Sure, if you think so J?  Did it sound off?” A familiar voice echoed from beyond the glass.

“No way!  Not a chance! You two sound HOTT! I just want to make sure all the levels are on point!”

“Oh, ok! I trust you!”

“What do you say Pretty lady? Should we do it once more?” JC asked turning to his duet partner standing next to him.

Alexis grinned and nodded.  “Sure.  Sounds like a plan to me.”

“Ok, the lady says once more, so, let’s do it.” JC replied into his mic.

“Alright, from the top then?”

JC and Alexis both nodded, placed the headphones back on their heads, then turned to face each other.

“I love you!” JC mouthed just before the song started to play back in his ears.

Tell Me How I’m Supposed to Breathe with no air

Ooh, oh, no

If I should die before I wake

It's 'cause you took my breath away

Losing you is like living in a world with no air, oh

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave

My heart won't move, it's incomplete

Wish there was a way that I can make you understand

But how (How) do you expect me (Me)

To live alone with just me? (Me)

'Cause my world revolves around you

It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air (No air)

Can't live, can't breathe with no air

That's how I feel whenever you ain't there

It's no air, no air

Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you're gon' be without me (Me)

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

It's no air, no air

As soon as the song finished and Justin gave them the “all clear” signal JC leaned forward and placed a gentle kiss on Alexis’s lips.

Alexis giggled a bit as he pulled away then blushed and looked to Justin.

“How was it?” Alexis asked.

Justin grinned.  “GIRL!  You know I LOVE your voice and you and JC together, yeah, that HOTTNESS if I ever heard it!”

“SO, you’re saying you liked it?” Alexis teased.

“Liked it?! NO! I LOVE this song!”

Alexis laughed then looked down and placed a hand on her belly as a happy, but wistful smile tugged at her lips.

“Did you hear that little one? Your Uncle J just said Mommy and Daddy did good.”

Next to her, and behind the glass two pairs of blue eyes widened.

“Wait?! What?! Lexi are you pregnant?” Justin squealed through the microphone.

Alexis could only laugh and nod.  “Yup! You’re gonna be an uncle again Justin.”

Meanwhile, JC was still standing there in shock, his jaw nearly on the floor.

“Really?! For real?! No joke?! You’re pregnant?! Meaning I am going to be a Dad?” JC managed to get out.

Alexis smiled up at him, her eyes now brimming with tears.

“Yes, Josh! We’re going to have a baby!”

Immediately, JC swept Alexis into his arms, twirled her around the sound booth then kissed her before setting her back down on the ground.  Slowly, and gently he placed his hands on her belly and smiled.

“Hey there little one.  I’m your Daddy.”

“You’re totally having a girl!” Justin teased from the other side of the glass.

“As long as she looks like her mother that’s fine with me!”
