Also, enjoy the cute photo of Sebastian and Vanessa.

Amy's POV
During the show Lin would linger around backstage. He needed to be here. I always made the same joke to Leslie whenever he would shoot either Lin or Javier. He would walk off stage and I would either slap him or sarcastically say 'good one' and he would follow with a role of his eyes. Between shows, heaps of the ensemble cast usually go get meals or hang out. I stayed backstage working with Lin on the after party.
"This is going to a dope after party." Oak told us.
"Thanks for raising the bar and giving me expectations."
"Dude. The Broadway Opening party was a ten outta ten. I don't know how you're going to top that." He shrugged passing me his grey Madison blazer for me to steam clean.
"What if we-"
"Here's your iced chai." Anthony said passing me the cup from Starbucks. "Sorry it took so long. I got stopped outside the theatre." He smiled and placed a kiss on his lips.
"Thanks."
"Ewwwww." Lin groaned and I giggled.
"You're just jealous."
"Right."!" He rolled his eyes and Anthony went into the stage to meet some people after the show.
"Always. As I was saying." Lin said pointing back to my laptop. I sipped on my iced chai as we worked. We worked for a good twenty minutes, sending emails back and forth when Anthony walked back and in leaned against the door.
"What now Ramos?" Lin said paranoid.
"A fan wants to meet Amy." Anthony said smiling at me.
"O-oh." I said shocked. Usually the backstage crew don't get involved with meet and greets unless someone asks. "I'll only be a minute." I said to Lin and walked out with Anthony. I was totally blown away.
"Hi." I smiled at the two girls.
"Hi! You're Amy right."
"Yeah." I smiled. "What can I do for you girls?" I asked politely.
"We just came from New Zealand to see the show and we're leaving again tomorrow night."
"You girls came from New Zealand?" I asked shocked.
"Yeah! And because you came from New Zealand we thought we would get you something."
"Oh my. Really? That's so sweet of you girls." I smiled hugging the two as they gave me a gift bag. I opened it up and inside was the New Zealand flag, Whittakers Chocolate, a plush Kiwi and some pineapple lumps.
"These are my favourite." I smiled grabbing the pineapple lumps. "How did you guys know?" I asked them nicely.
"Oh. We saw you eating them in one of Oaks snap chats." I couldn't help but laughed. Oak was telling me off backstage because he had a cold and his doctor told him that he couldn't eat any chocolate because it would ruin his vocal chords so I would eat them in front of him.
"You guys are so freaking cute." I smiled and one of them took their phone out.
"We also just wanna thank you for speaking about your culture. There aren't many New Zealanders that make it to Broadway." The brunette said.
"Well technically. I just work here, behind the scenes." I smiled.
"Can we get a photo?" The girl with jet black hair asked.
"Of course." I smiled and we got Anthony to take the photo. I gave him my phone as well as I could get a photos of the girls. I posted it on instagram with the caption 'New Zealand Represent'.
"What's it like dating Anthony?" The brunette asked.
"Oh it's uhm, it's alright I suppose." I giggled as Anthony put his arm around my waist.
"I didn't even know you guys were together."
"Yeah, I thought Jasmine and Anthony were together for ages." The other one said.
"Nope." Anthony said popping the p and kissing my temple. "This one's mine." I blushed. Geez romantic. The two girls walked off to talk to Daveed.

"So, what are you wearing to the Tonys?" I asked Lin as I slouched back onto the couch with my bag of goodies.
"Probably something fancy. It's my second time being nominated."
"Dude. You wore jeans to the White House. You better not be wearing jeans to the Tonys." I giggled as Lin passed me my drink and I sipped on my iced chai once more. 
"I wore my costume to the Grammys." He chuckled.
"That's course you performed here." I laughed and Vanessa walked in with Sebastian. 
"Hi Daddy! Hi Auntie Amy!" He squealed and ran over to me, climbed on the couch and sat on my lap. I placed a kiss on the little boys head as Vanessa sat on Lin's knee and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"How's everything going?" She asked me.
"Pretty good." I smiled and wrapped my arms around Sebastian. He was always fascinated with my rings and bracelets which I wore.
"Did you get a present?" Sebastian asked me pointing to the bag next to me.
"I sure did." He gasped.
"What do you get!" He asked messing up on his words. You'd think having a mother with as a lawyer and a father as a lyricist he wouldn't stuff up, but he was just so cute and adorable, you couldn't help but smile.
"I got some chocolates and a toy. Do you want to see it?" I asked him and he nodded. I pulled out the plush kiwi bird.
"Wow!" He said and he hugged the bird. "Daddy I want one." He smiled and Lin shook his head laughing.
"How about this. You can have it." I smiled at Sebastian. His eye lit up.
"Really!"
"Of course."
"Wow!" He smiled looking at the plush bird.
"What are you going to call it Seb?" Vanessa asked.
"I want to call it Amy." He smiled and I smiled at him.
"Thanks buddy." I ran my fingers through his hair messing it up. He loved it when I did it and I have no idea why.
"Amy. You must come for dinner after the show. Luz and Luis are staying for dinner as well." Vanessa pleaded.
"Oh man. I love your parents Lin." I smiled and he chuckled.
"Everyone on the internet does."
"Is there enough food for Anthony as well?" I asked Vanessa.
"Absolutely." She smiled as I bounced Sebastian on my knee.
"Can Amy read me my story tonight?" Sebastian asked looking up at me.  Vanessa looked at me.
"Of course I can buddy." I smiled and he clapped his hands and snuggled into my chest. I wrapped my jacket over him and then after about three seconds I would open up my jacket.  And then closed it and opened it again. Anything would amuse this kid.
"Let's go for a walk whilst mommy and daddy have some privacy." I smiled at Sebastian and picked him up and placed him on my hip and carried him around backstage.
"Who should we visit first?" I asked him knocking on Oak and Anthony's door. You could hear Beyoncé songs playing in the background.
"Come in." Oak shouted and I opened the door.
"Someone just wanted to say hi." I smiled pointing to Sebastian.
"Hey buddy." Anthony smiled grabbing him of me. Oh my god. He is so fucking cute with kids. He began dancing along with the music as he held Sebastian tightly.
"Wheeeee!" Sebastian would squeal as Anthony would throw him up in the air and catch him. I used to do that with Charlie when she was a bit younger.
"Come here Seb." Oak said and Anthony gave him to Oak. "What have you got there?" He asked in his Mickey Mouse voice, pointing to Sebastian's new plush toy. Sebastian looked at him excitedly.
"Oh god. What have you started?" I mumbled as I sat on the dresser close enough to Anthony for him to put his hand on my thigh.
"Amy gave it to me." He smiled pointing to me.
"I sure did Seb." I smiled and he clapped. Go he is just the cutest.
"Do you think you two will ever have kids?" Oak asked out of the blue. We were both shocked at the question. How do you answer something like that?
"Uhh, no." I stuttered. "I mean, hopefully one day. But not right now."
"We've never spoken about it." Anthony added turning red in the face.
"Alright. Seb. Let's go." I muttered and grabbed Sebastian off Oak before he asks anymore questions.
