Ashley's POV*

Just as I promised Kelsey, we left two days later. Jeannie and Herb just left for Ohio.

Kelsey met us at our house. I think she was planning on staying for the rest of the tour.

"So, you ready to tell him?" I ask Kelsey.

"I'm nervous, but yes. And keep quiet." She scolds.

"Sorry." I laugh.

"Babe, you have everything?" Joey asks.

"Yeah." I answer.

"Kels?" He asks.

"Yes Joe." She nods.

"Give me two minutes." He demands.

"Yes babe." I nod.

He leaves the room once again. "So, when I tell him, will you take the picture?" Kelsey asks.

"Yeah. You brought his jersey and yours?" I replied.

"Yes." She smiled.

"Girls, let's go." Joey called. Kelsey and I giggled before getting up. We grabbed our bags and met Joey at the car.

"So, is he kicking yet?" Kelsey asks.

"Yeah, a little. He really likes it when Joey talks to him." I answer.

"Awh." She squeals.

"What about me?" Joey asks.

"Arlo likes it when you talk to him." I repeat. Joey smiles and nods. He kisses me then gets down to kiss my pregnant belly.

"Awh. Okay, guys, you're killing me here with all that cute stuff." Kelsey smiles. I sent a smirk towards her and she sent me a glare.

"Come on. I wanna go." I whine.

"Fine." Joey sighs. I smile, knowing I won.

I got into the passenger seat as Kelsey got into the backseat and Joey got drivers.

"So, where are we meeting the guys?" Kelsey asks.

"In Bowling Green." Joey answers.

"Where?" She repeats.

"Kentucky." I laugh.

"Okay." She nods.

"We're about 15 minutes." Joey informs.

"Alright." She mumbles.

"Kels, does he know you're coming?" I ask.

"Nope, it's a surprise." She smirks.

"You're sneaky." I laugh.

Fifteen minutes later, we're at the hotel in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Joey and I went up to the room the guys were staying in, Kelsey was behind us, following.

Joey knocked before entering. I followed him, and Kels followed me. I watched as Caleb's face lit up when he saw Kels.

"Hey, baby." He grins.

"Hey." She whispered, hugging him tightly.

"So, what is it?" Alan asks me.

"A boy. Arlo." I answer.

"That's great." Kane smiles.

"You should've seen all the clothes her and Kels bought the other day." Joey starts.

"Hey, I was in a good mood, and they were all cute." I muttered.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorry." He laughs.
