Three months had gone by and the band was back on the road. Aimee resumed her duties as band bookkeeper and kept Patrick and Pete happy.
They were driving to a show in Chicago and Aimee had not felt good the last couple days. It had Patrick worried because she didn't look good at all.
"Pull over please. I'm going to be sick again.'
They pulled off the road and Aimee flew off the bus just in time. This was the fourth time today she had been sick.
"Trick, she doesn't look good. Maybe we should take her to the hospital."
"I know Pete. I'm worried."
Aimee came back on the bus and went straight to her room. Patrick stood up and followed her. "I'm going to tell her we are going to the hospital."
"Aimee? Hon, are you okay?"
Aimee was lying on her bed crying. Patrick knew something was wrong
"Baby, what's wrong? Tell me please so I can help you."
"Patrick, I think I'm pregnant."
Patrick smiled. "That's great! I'm so happy!"
"Patrick, that's not why I am upset. Are you forgetting something?"
Patrick thought hard for a moment then stood up in shock. "PETE! GET IN HERE!!!!"
Pete peeked in the room. "Is everything okay? We can find a closer hospital."
"Pete, Aimee thinks she is pregnant"
"Trick that's great! Congratulations!"
Pete noticed Aimee was still crying heavily. "That's great news,right?"
Patrick looked at Pete with concern. "Pete, think about this. She might be pregnant. Think hard."
"OH FUCK!!"
Pete sat down and rubbed his face with his hands. He sighed then asked "What are we going to do?"
Patrick put his arm around Aimee's shoulders and squeezed gently. "Honey, I will be here for you regardless. I love you."
"We can do a DNA test before the baby is born, that way we know. No matter who is the father we will be there for both of you."
Aimee nodded. She didn't want this to come between the guys. She hoped it wouldn't
Patrick put one hand on her stomach and whispered to her "I will be there for both of you no matter what. You have my heart, and my promise."
"Thank you Patrick. I love you."
Patrick and Pete kissed her forehead. "I still think we should take her to the hospital. She looks really sick."
"I agree Pete. Let's find a hospital"
The doctor walked briskly into the room. "Congratulations. You are pregnant. The morning sickness should go away by the end of the second trimester.
You do seem to be dehydrated so I would like to keep you overnight."
"But what about the show? I have to be there!"
"No you don't" Patrick scolded. "you are staying here and resting. You will be taking it easy for a while."
"Fine. But think of me tonight while you are onstage."
"I wouldn't do anything else." Patrick kissed her forehead then ran his fingers through her hair. "You are my life and it is my job to protect you."
Patrick left the room and Aimee broke out in tears. She had messed up things horribly and now this would divide friends forever. She hoped Pete
wasn't the father but they wouldn't know for a while. They would do the test tomorrow before she was released but they wouldn't get the results for
months. How would she make it through?
The next morning Patrick and Pete arrived at the hospital for their part of the DNA test. Theirs was easy, just a swab in the mouth. Aimee had to have a
needle put in her stomach. Patrick sat next to her and held her hand. "I love you baby. You are doing so good. It's almost over."
"Would you like to see the baby?"
"Really? I would love to."
Patrick walked over to where the tech was standing and looked at the monitor. On the screen was a perfect human being, no matter who the father was.
It brought Patrick to tears. "It's perfect" he whispered.
"Would you like to know if it's a boy or a girl?"
Patrick looked at Aimee. "Only if you do"
"Yes, please"
"It's a boy. And he looks great"
A boy. Patrick let that sink in a moment. everything was going to change now and he couldn't be happier.
