This unedited, sorry if there is errors. Mature stuff in this chapter, just a warning. :P Let me know what you think, vote and comment.

Ella stood there watching her boys chase poor Bennie up and down the beach. Poor Bennie, she was getting older and those boys never stopped and she just loved to try to keep up with them. Ella was bored out of her mind, Josh had been gone for the last two weeks, they had some summer festivles across the country. They would be home in a few days, then home for a few weeks then they would be out on the road touring heavy as the new album would be out soon. Ella hated him being gone so much. She missed him like crazy.

Right before he left they had gone with Brilee for her first ultra sound. The baby was doing well, it was growing and everything looked good with the baby. Ella coudln't wait to for the baby to be here, it would keep her busy with the boys starting back to school for the fall. The baby wouldn't be here until after Christmas.

"Hi." Brilee said to Ella as she came out onto the deck to sit beside Ella. "It is a beautiful day."

"It is very nice out. We wont' have many more days like this. Fall is quickly coming."

"The boys are active."

"Very much so. They never stop. Just like Josh."

"You miss him don't you?"

"LIke crazy. I can't wait for him to come home."

"Are you worried that he may cheat on you? He has in the past?"

Ella was taken back by Brilee questions. "How did you know anything about that?"

"Am a fan. Oh I didn't tell you that in my interview. I love MT, I was routing for you the whole time. I felt so bad for you. Some of the pictures that were posted on the internet. I really felt for you. Then you had that accident and Josh decided that you were best for him."

"He always knew I was best for him. He just made some mistakes."

"Do you know that He and Nikki had lunch in Toronoto the other day?"

"What? How do you know that?"

Brilee pulled out her phone and showed Ella a picture of Josh and Nikki indeed having lunch together. Ella felt her stomach turn, she felt like she was going to throw up.

"Can you watch the boys for a moment. I will be right back."

Ella felt un well, she coudln't believe he would be having dinner with Nikki, and Brilee was a fan. What the fuck?

She grabed her phone and dialed his number. It rang a few times before he answered.

"Baby hello."

"Did you have dinner with Nikki?" Ella snapped, she tried to not sound overly harsh but that didn't work.

Josh chuckled. "Ummmm no. Why the hell would I have dinner with her. I haven't seen her since we ended things."

"Brilee has a picture of you two together on her phone, she just showed me."

"Sweetheart, photo shop." Josh said calmly.

"It looked pretty real to me."

"You are standing there biting your lip, running your hand through your hair right now, arnt you?"

Ella was quiet for a moment. "Yes."

"Damn I wish I was there." Josh started. "Stella Marie I didn't have lunch with anyone but Matt, Ian and Mike. Look at the picture again. Ask Brilee where she found it. I promise you that I will never hurt you like that again. I don't need an other woman, you are enough for me baby. I love you so much."
