Fade to Black (sequel to riptide)

Part 28

Jackson Danielson released a new song that has us wondering if there's a Danielson baby on the way.

Those headlines have been everywhere since the song was released. Everyone has been freaking out. It's sort of funny though. I was on Ellen because she invited me to put the rumors to rest. We kind of have a relationship on that level. She invites me to all of her events and such. I attend them all. She's great. I shaved all of my hair off because I wanted to. Lauren was so upset so she got a haircut too to piss me off. It's nothing crazy but it's much shorter than usual. The thing is my hair grows like wildfire. My man bun will be back before you know it. I told her that but she was still upset.
I walked on the Ellen stage and went up to perform my new song.
"It's 2 am inside my room
I like awake, still making moves
Oh, where will I lie next year?
Who will lay here next to you?
It's 5 am, I'm still in bed
No sleep, I wrote this song instead
Can't plan it all, ain't got the truth
Knew it all 'fore I knew you

She said, "Look at me, baby
Do you wanna have this baby?"
Will she still be my baby if I say no?

And darling, where do we go?
Do we make this a home?
Do you think that we're grown enough to make this a home?
Darling, where do we go
Do we make this a home
Do you think that we're grown enough to make this a home?

It's 9 am, I'm picking names
A boy or girl, it's all the same, yeah
So stay here or move away
Little house for just us three
It's 10 am, go grab that test
Walk through the drug store, she's a mess
She's scared as hell, is it too late?
Are we ready now or should we wait?

I said, "Look at me, baby
Do you wanna have this baby?
I'll still be your baby if you say no"

And darling, where do we go?
Do we make this a home?
Do you think that we're grown enough to make this a home?
Darling, where do we go
Do we make this a home
Do you think that we're grown enough to make this a home?
Won't you sing it out

I may not be the best father
But I'll try my hardest
You can grab my hand harder
I promise I won't let go

And darling, where do we go?
Do we make this a home?
Do you think that we're grown enough to make this a home?
Darling, where do we go
Do we make this a home
Do you think that we're grown enough to make this a home?"

I finished the song stepping off to towards the chairs to have a seat.
"Jackson welcome back!"
"It's good to be back."
"Well that song was amazing."
"Thank you very much."
"So Uhm your hair. That's very different."
"I wanted a change so I decided to shave it all off."
"It's interesting. And your fiancé Lauren cut her hair too right?"
"Yeah she was mad I cut my hair so she cut hers to piss me off."
"Seriously so it was a vengeful cut."
"Yeah but it looks great so it doesn't piss me off."
"Yeah it does it looks great but you cut your hair what two weeks ago and there's already a ton back grown."
"Yeah I give it two more weeks before its all back to normal. My hair grows fast. When I was a kid. I had to get a cut like every three weeks."
"That's so crazy."
"Yeah i was getting my hair cut like every three weeks when it was long."
"That's extremely expensive."
"Nah it was free. Lauren cut my hair."
"She cuts hair?"
"Yeah a little bit. Whenever it got way to crazy I went to get it done at a place."
"Cool. Cool. So your new album is coming out soon yeah?"
"Yes it is. I don't have an exact date but we're aiming for early June."
"Do you have a name for us?"
"No I actually don't. I haven't decided yet."
"So what is the vibe of the album?"
"Well it's still my same vibe but w little more pop as of right now in terms of the beats. It's very soulful right now a few ballads where and there but nothing is really final though. As for lyrics it's about past relationships, romantic and non Romantic because love doesn't always have to be romantic so I'm showing both sides."
"So that song Home I believe is it about a possible new baby with you and Lauren?"
"No no no. Everyone wants to think that but we're not married yet and we made a decision to wait to have kids at least till me got married and everything chilled with our careers like that."
"So what is the song about?"
"I was in a relationship like some years back and there was a pregnancy scare and I made a vow when I started doing all the baby making stuff that if something ever did happen then I would want the kid to be in my life and to be a present father. I wrote it actually like a year ago when I just remembered the excitement of that moment and all of that."
"what happened?"
"Well a few weeks after she found out she wasn't pregnant she just left. She moved away."
"Without telling you?"
"Yeah. I was like torn apart and I got all of these trust and commitment issues but she didn't care so I just moved forward with life."
"You live and you learn right?" I nodded.
"So do you want to be a father anytime soon."
"Definitely. My dream is to be the best husband and father I could ever be and everyday I'm getting closer and closer to that goal. I mean I'm getting married that's the biggest step."
"Would you ever let that impede your career?"
"Never. I love Lauren and I'll love the family I will have and they will always be my priority. Lauren is always number one but my career will weave around that. That's why I'm setting myself up now. I want to have a good career and a good personal life."
"So we see you're still very close with Justin Bieber."
"Yeah."
"And the Jenner sisters and Diplo."
"Yeah."
"So any chance Justin or Diplo will be on the album?"
"I can't say I'm sorry. The album isn't even finished completely so we'll find out whose on it together."
"Ok then I guess we will have to wait."
"Yup. So many people have gotten pissed because I won't tell them who is on it. I'll talk about the album no they'll say who is on it? I refuse to tell them and they're like f-u Jackson, you asshole."
"That's too bad but I'm sure it will all be worth it."
"Definitely."

Lauren's pov
"So ladies welcome to New York."
"It's always good to be here."
"How are you enjoying it?"
"Amazing as always." Ally says simply.
"There's something about the city that's so raw and beautiful everyone is so unique and different and not ashamed to be so. The aura is inspiring." I reply.
"So you're album 7/27 is coming out soon?"
"It is..." The interview continued then I was asked a stupid question that ruined my respect for the interviewer.
"So Lauren your fiancé Jackson released a song called home right?"
"Yes."
"Does this mean you're pregnant?"
"Why would it mean In pregnant."
"In it he talks about a girl being pregnant and that he isn't sure how to make it a home and be a good father."
"Ok so you're basing this on the lyrics. Yet he says wondering where will I lie next year. We're going to be married next year he's going to be right there."
"So you're not pregnant?"
"Not that I know of."
I hate it when people ask me something that makes no sense. Because it leads to worse things.
"You're a little too young anyways."
"I'm 21 how is that too young."
"You have time. Your career is starting out. You don't want to ruin that with a kid."
"People can have a kid whenever they feel like their ready and a career shouldn't come before your desire for child birth. No that's not something that should be considered. Money over family. Success over family. I can't fathom that."
"So you want to have a kid."
"Not yet but that's for a different reason. I personally believe that for me I want a kid when I'm married. That's just my personal preference. It's not because of my career at all. I love he fans but my happiness comes before all of that. I'm not pregnant though and probably won't be for a long time."
"Alright then that's admirable. Camila you have been seen out and about with Charlie Puth what is up with that.?"
The interview went on eventually getting to a great point.
