Joey's POV*

Ashley sat next to me, cuddled up against my side. We're finally on our way back to Tennessee. After tomorrow, we'd be back in Nash. And just like I promised, I was taking Ashley out. I planning a baby-moon, since Arlo would be here in four short months.

"You guys never did tell us." Alan spoke up.

"Tell you what?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

"The due date of my first nephew." He smirks.

"Supposedly, January 1st. But I'm thinking he's gonna be a late baby." Ashley replied.

"A new years baby." Kane grins.

"Yeah." I nod.

"A new year, a new baby." Ashley laughs.

"A new life too." Alan mutters.

"Are y'all forgetting? Kelsey's pregnant too, tease her some." Ashley mumbled. I laughed and kissed her head.

"Yeah. Kels, Am I getting a niece or nephew?" Alan asks.

"Don't know yet. Don't worry, y'all be the first to know." Kelsey shrugs.

"Oh! Kyle's joining us in Cookieville." Chad informed.

"Yes!" Ashley cheered.

"You excited?" I ask.

"Yes, I haven't seen K in so long and little Hudson." She smiles.

"It has been while since we've seen Kupretty." Alan grins.

"That nickname never gets old." Ashley snickers.

"There was so many." Chad mumbled.

"What were they? Ky, Kyle 2.0, and Kupretty." Caleb names them off.

Ashley's POV*

We all settled into the hotel. We're just hanging out here until the concert tomorrow, and we'd all be in our beds tomorrow night.

As much as I love traveling, traveling while pregnant is difficult. It's also painful, but I'm just at that point in the pregnancy.

"Joey!" I whine.

"What?" He asks, sitting next to me.

"Can we go shopping?" I ask sweetly.

"Why?" He responded.

"Arlo wants ice cream." I smile.

"Only if you get something healthy too." He compromises.

"But," I pout.

"No buts. Babe, you need to eat healthy too." He mutters.

"Can I get potato chips? It's from a potato, which is healthy." I bribe.

"No, they're too saltly. You need fruit or something." He sighs.

"Do I have to?" I whine.

"Yes. Please babe, for me." He begs.

"Fine." I grumble.

"Thank you." He smiles, kissing my cheek.

I sighed as I got up. I grinned, "I love you."

He got up and placed his arms around me. "I love you too." He smiled, kissing my cheek.

That next night, Kelsey G, Kelsey K, and I stood backstage. Little Hudson sat on my hip, while the guys preformed.
