ohhhh snap!
~Lukas’ Point of View~ When my family is threatened I go into full beast mode. With the band, it was how we’d all always been. The five Musketeers. And sadly, part of that was like the reason we all sided with Slade when the shit hit the fan with Holly. The last twenty-four hours had been a whirlwind. But I found myself in Slade’s office, going through a photo album from high school. Holly was pretty much in every single picture or she had been the one that took it. During that time I really didn’t have a single memory that didn’t include her. It all just left me with such a rotten feeling I couldn’t shake. But I was glad we were making so much progress with the Garrett situation to distract me. Slade called in some guy he knew at the state bureau of investigation and with his blessing but not with his blessing, Natasha and I met with the two women who we believed had children with Garrett. They were both shocked and appalled, and by the end agreed to let us run their babies’ DNA.
~Natasha’s Point of View~ I couldn’t even wrap my head around how fast everything had been happening. Before I knew it, we were packing to head to Oregon for the wedding. But first, my bachelorette party. We’d all gone back and forth about whether or not to have the parties in LA or up north, and we all decided Oregon was the best fit. Less chance of paps, less chance of even more stupid decisions being made. Let’s be real though, all of the Feisty guys together with booze? They’d be doing some very stupid shit, of that I had no doubt. Slade was planning the guys’ party and all the Feisty wives were planning mine. I was still nursing so I wouldn’t be able to drink much, and I really didn’t want to end up being the DD at my own bachelorette party, taking care of the drunks. “There’s my little man,” Lukas cooed as I dried Louie off from a bath. His arms came around me and he kissed my neck. He’d been at the studio all day working and I’d missed him terribly. I told myself it was
~Two Hours Ago~ ~Lukas’ Point of View~ “Yeah bro!! Holy shit,” I shouted, as Trey popped a wheelie. Slade’s family had a lot of land, no big surprise there, but it was also a lot of opportunity for us to do some fun shit. And some not so smart shit. But Slade knew how I’d changed over the past few months. Really all the guys. Well, I was sure Trey and Bailey still lived the night time party life but the rest of us were homebodies now. Going out to a club or bar to get wasted wasn’t my idea of a good time anymore. What if Louie had a first that I missed? Yeah I thought about it all the time. I wasn’t going to miss a thing. Lukas Feisty Trent was a party boy no more. And it wasn’t even a weird thing to think now. I didn’t want strange women on me, I didn’t want them near me. Slade had taken us paintballing and that was a perfect way to start the night. Especially since we’re all pretty competitive. Few small fights but all in all it was an awesome time. A few other guys we knew
~Slade’s Point of View~ When you have the same dream every single night of your life, it’s nearly impossible to wrap your head around it standing in front of you. I had to be hallucinating, maybe I died when I fell in the pond. That must be it. I hit my head on that downed tree and not my shoulder. “Fuck,” I groaned, as the woman in front of me examined my arm. That got my attention. “So? I’m sure this was a hell of a story,” she said, sniffing. “What the fuck that smell,” she continued, wiggling her nose. Don’t get hard right now Slade. Fucking Christ, please don’t. How could I not with her hands on me? Granted she was wearing purple gloves but still. Her cute little nose, she’s so expressive. When she speaks she does it with her whole face. Holly Anderson. My Holly. She was my Holly for nearly ten years. More than a third of my life. “It’s uhm, pond water,” I mumbled. She raised her eyebrow, the way I’d seen a thousand times. The way she always did when I did something

~Lukas’ Point of View~BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP“Oh shit,” I mumbled, trying to get to my phone. I quickly saw that it was actually the third alarm, which was weird since I didn't hear the first two.Something was on me, holding me down. I quickly realized it was a female’s arm and I groaned. I hadn’t meant to spend the night, that always makes them think something more is brewing. For me, there’s never anything more. And that’s why I always try to get busy at their place, or a hotel. I used to bring chicks home all the time, but they started getting crazy. I had one just go and change the curtains, put up pictures of her family and that was a wake up call.I vowed years ago not to have any women outside of my actual family in my place. Too risky.“You’re leaving,” I heard, as I pulled on my pants.“Yeah I got a thing across town, I’m late,” I groaned, looking for my shirt.My band was currently off tour, but our manager was getting us into a bigger picture situation. Thanks to Slade
~Natasha’s Point of View~When meeting artists out in public I used to go all out, really dress up. Hair, make-up and all that. I wanted to look good next to them, especially as I got older. Well … father time creeping up into my life is what got me knocked up in the first place. It was like after I turned 30 my ovaries started fucking with me.I met Lukas on the sidewalk, just outside a hipster bar I’d never normally be caught dead in, and the way Lukas looked at it told me he felt the same.I took in his navy blue t-shirt with dark blue jeans with black Jordan sneakers on his feet. Not at all dressy, but he pulled it off well. His shaggy hair was kind of curly, still damp from the shower. He had it a bit shaved up on the sides. It was obvious he hadn’t styled it and I nearly caught myself wanting to reach up and touch it. He had the boy next door cute little vibe complete with dimples and if not for the reputation that seemed to walk a foot in front of him he’d be I dare say adorabl
~Lukas’ Point of View~I really had little interest in being a father, but seeing Tasha about to bring new life into the world was pretty cool. I’d asked her if I needed to call someone for her, but she insisted she had it under control. She even said I could leave her car at the studio tomorrow and she’d have someone get it. I’d have to get it cleaned for her, she had the same OCD I did and I knew it the minute she made a comment about getting her seat wet. I’d thought about it too but wasn’t about to point it out.It was like … I was super needed for twenty minutes and now, she didn’t need me. I shouldn’t care. I really shouldn’t. But it kinda sucked. It wasn’t even really that I wanted to see the baby, I just wanted to help her. It was clear there wasn’t a man here, and I really did wanna know why. Maybe she chose to keep a one night stand, maybe it was a bad break up. Either way, it sucked. She seemed ready though, like she had her life together. I wasn’t totally sure what to do
