She was about to head to the stairs when she heard Monica and Ike talking and decided she'd stay put and sat in the chair and waited, and waited. "He took care of his problem and forgot all about you. Probably found someone who would take care of his problem for him." she thought wondering if she would, had he asked. "Jessy I just thought you would go listen to Jarrod, then when I saw Ike and Tay with Chele and Monica at the bottom, I figured you were trapped at the top and probably on stage hiding so I went and looked. I should have known you would be here, right where I left you. I'm sorry." Zac said. "You went on stage looking for me, you thought I. You know I probably would have. Face thousands of strangers instead my two sisters." Jessy laughed pulling Zac into her lap. "You're a big boy." Jessy groaned. "Let me up." Zac said. "If you can do this all the time, I can do it once." Jessy said kissing him "Wow you do try everything. So you want to try being the guy in our relationship?" Zac asked. "Only if you want to get dumped on the floor a lot, I can't feel my legs." Jessy groaned, as her knees buckled and Zac slid down her legs, to the floor. Zac pulled her down to him, they rolled on the floor laughing. "Shit they're calling you. Zac stop laughing and get up." Jessy said rising from the floor, extending a hand and pulling Zac to his feet. "Here he is." Jessy hollered. "Sorry daddy we were goofing off and laughing so loud, we didn't hear you in the press room." Jessy explained as Zac waved at Mom and the other kids, waiting on Jessy. "Sorry Dad" Zac said. "Well this is a first, you're not nervous before a show." Walker said. "I should be, Jessy's watching, but not a nerve." Zac said "Because he finally accepts how good he is." Jessy said wrapping her arms around him and kissing him. "Have a good show, I'm watching you." she said. "Have a good show Ike. You too Tay, have a good show. Bye Daddy." Jessy said hugging them and she headed down the hall to Mom and the kids. "Essy essy" Zoe squealed and mom put her down and she toddled her way "essy essy" all the way. She heard the laughter behind her and looked to see Daddy and Zac laughing at the sight. Jessy scooped up Zoe and twirled their way down the hall to the rest and they made their way to the catwalk to the lighting platform Mackie, Jessie and Avie were racing ahead when the crowd below started yelling "Jessy, Jessy." Jessy looked at Mom and laughed, "Just sounds like Jessy." she said. "No I think it is Jessy. Look they're standing and staring this way. You better wave sweetie." Mom said "I've got to catch up with those three before they break a bulb again, you wave." she said taking off. "Why are they yelling for me?" Jessy thought looking at the crowds below waving in her direction. She waved her arm big and the crowds yelled louder. "What do you think Zoe? Wave with Jessy." she said and they both waved and the crowds reacted again going AWWWWW!! "Wow, they are loud aren't they." Jessy said heading to the platform, the crowds still yelling. Before she reached the top, word had been sent to send her back down. "I don't know Jessy, Walker called on the radio and said I had to send you back down." Mom said taking Zoe. "Bye guys, I hope I can come back." Jessy said hugging them all goodbye and headed down the catwalk. When the crowd saw her again the volume soared. This time they yelled "Jessy, Zac" "Cool" Jessy yelled back giving a big thumbs up and doing a little dance teasing them on and the volume soared again. Jessy made it to the bottom trying to pop her ears and wished she had taken the ear plugs. "Jesus Jessy what did you do?" Zac said. "Waved. Why did I have to come back down, I want to watch. I didn't do anything honest Zac." Jessy said. "Come on." Zac said. "Zac my ears are ringing, I need earplugs before I go back out there." Jessy said stopping to try and pop her hears again Zac reached in a pocket, and popped a pair in her ears, kissing each one. "Here she is Dad." Zac said. "Honest Daddy, I didn't do anything." Jessy said. "Beg to differ sweetie, you have this place on end. They're begging to see Jessy and Zac. And they're going to scream until they get what the want, so we are going to give them what they want." Walker explained. "Okay. I guess." Jessy said. "Okay guys go and try to start, if they don't quiet, don't fight it, they saw her come back down. Jessy you wait with me okay sweetie?" he asked and she nodded. Walker was on the radio when he picked up her hair and noticed the ear plugs and reported she had them in. "Mom?" Jessy asked and he nodded. The introduction started and the volume grew again, definitely Jessy and Zac still being yelled. The guys started and the volume continued and they gave up. Zac got up unplugged, walked to Jessy, "Come On, I don't think you're being hated by thousands of fans." he said and they headed center stage and the crowd screamed relief at the sight of them. They stood holding hands at first and Zac raised their hands in the air. Jessy glanced at Chele and Monica and a few seats down she saw Jarrod and the rest of the Twins, she smiled and waved. Jarrod got up and walked near the stage a rose in his hand. Jessy tugged at Zac to get his attention and they walked to Jarrod. Jessy leaned for her rose, Jarrod kissed her hand, the rose, then handed it to her. Jessy kissed the rose and then hugged Zac. The crowd roared again. They both blew kisses to Mom and the kids before moving to the far side of the stage. Jessy was frustrated and when they hit center stage and no relief was in sight. She raised both arms and lowered them and then put her finger to her lips, once more with both arms and finally the crowd hushed. As they quieted Jessy stepped over to Isaac's mic. "Thank you for quieting down. If you can hold it down I will stay, even though I'd like to go sit with my new family and enjoy this with them, I will stay up here with Zac only if you only yell for Hanson, okay?" and they yelled Hanson. "Great and guys, thanks from the bottom of my heart for your support, Zac and I have enough you're only thirteens in our lives, thanks for not being one and just being happy for us." Jessy said. "Like she said Thanks for caring. Let's get this show going." Zac said leading Jessy to the back. Zac sat back down and Jessy plugged him back in and picked up his sticks and handed them to him, and kissed him to the delight of the audience. They started with the intro and soon things were going as planned except for Jessy, she was bored and moved off and started dancing and singing along, also to the delight of the audience. She took off her leather jacket, it was too much under the lights. This also pleased the audience, she was enjoying herself singing along when she felt someone close and opened her eyes to Isaac dancing with her and they had a blast. The audience really roared, not quieting down so Jessy waved goodbye and they immediately hushed. "Jessy sing More Than Anything with me, Elliot played it for me. I think we'd sound good together. The fans would die." Isaac said. "But so would I." Jessy said. "Zac can hold you." Isaac said. "No he wouldn't." Jessy said. "If Zac holds you, will you sing with me." Isaac asked. "Yepperz." Jessy smiled. Isaac looked at Zac as upstairs they were relaying the conversation. Zac nodded and Isaac sent Jessy to see Zac, for his answer. "Isaac said to come see you." Jessy said. "If you sing with Isaac, I'll stand and hold you while you sing." he said. "That's two against one. You did this didn't you. You better hold on tight cause if you don't catch me when my knees give out and I go down on my butt. I'll get up and punch you." Jessy theatened. "You would woudn't you." he said and kissed her as he started Mmmbop and Jessy went clapping her hands in the air, getting the crowd up and their feet and singing. She worked the entire stage to the delight of the crowds. Everytime she neared Isaac, he'd dance and tell her they sang next. He sent her to see Daddy and he and a technician put a mic on her similar to what Zac wears. "Why?" Jessy asked. "Somebody wants to dance with you." Walker said. Jessy spun her head around searching for Zac but they were still playing. As the song ended they moved out the keyboards, drums and chair for the acoustical set starting with Isaac, now Isaac and Jessy. Isaac introduced the song, then Jessy and the bribe to get her to sing, her dancing partner. The song was a big hit, the dance was a bigger hit, then they used the crowd, getting them to ask her to sing With You In Your Dreams with Taylor."This sucks" she whispered."I agree Jessy but I'm so glad you've joined us." nice voice said. "Am I always going to be out numbered the rest of my life." Jessy whispered looking to the booth. "I'm afraid so Jessy, but they really are good boys, and Zac thinks the world of you." nice voice said. "Thanks I needed that" she said. "Ready to sing Jessy." Tay asked. "Tell him ready." nice voice said. "Ready" she said looking to the booth and she blew a kiss. The song went even better then the last, Jessy was more relaxed. When the number was over Jessy whispered to Zac she was going potty. "Daddy I'm going down to go potty. I know I have to be back, Zac told me. I really have to pee, honest." Jessy said and made her way down and back in record time and headed back on stage in time for the end of story time. The last three numbers took their toll on Jessy, Zac could tell she was tired and to the delight of the audience, he pulled her over and sat her on his lap for the last number. "No Encores they got there's by getting Jessy." Zac declared and the message was forwarded to Ike and Tay who turned and agreed. The four moved center stage for the applause. Jessy pulled from Zac and moved to the side and applauded the banded, whipping the crowd into near hysteria screaming Hanson Rocks, Hanson Forever. Zac caught her eye and she returned to his side and they bowed one last time and left the stage. "Great show kids. Just Great" Walker said hugging each of them. "Jessy you've got to join us. Please say yes. You had the crowds pumped." Isaac begged holding her. "I don't know." Jessy said. "You have to. Zac you ask her, she loves you she won't say no to you." Ike asked. "Isaac I can't use her love to get my way, I love her too much to use her that way." Zac said. "Jessy I agree with Isaac, you have to join the band. I'm telling you we'll only get better with you around. You remind us why we do this, because we love to. Tonight's concert was a blast, it was actually fun to sing and even be screamed at for a change." Taylor said. "I don't know, I have to talk to Mom, this is going to throw her." Jessy said. "No, actually she took it pretty well. I talked to her and you're coming with us on Tour if that's what you want. She's making up temporary custody papers now and she'll be here in the morning with your clothes and stuff." Walker said. "What? Daddy you're wonderful." Jessy said hugging him tight. "Zac did you hear. I don't have to leave you." Jessy said hugging him. "I heard, Jessy I'm so happy I couldn't bear your leaving me. I love you Jessy." Zac said again. "I love you too Zac" she told him this time and his spirits soared, she loved him too he announced. Zac kissed her softly, and tenderly as Jessy softly moaned, tears filling her eyes. Backstage was filling fast with well wishers, Jessy kept looking at Chele and Monica but looking away every time they looked at her. She saw Tay holding Chele, she was crying. "If he hurts her I'll punch him so hard." she said. "If who hurts her?" Zac asked her and when she explained. "Don't worry from what Dad said he's head over heels in love with her." Zac said. "What?" Jessy asked. "Yeah, oh yeah hun you were asleep when he told us. Tay has it bad for Chele and Mom said Ike is as bad about Monica." Zac said holding Jessy tighter as she cried. "Hun what's the matter? You should be happy and you're crying. Don't you want to go on Tour with me?" he asked. "Zac don't think that. I'm sorry, I'll stop. I just want to be with you, that's whats most important, you are." Jessy said kissing him with her heart. "Jessy you do love me." Zac said lost in her eyes. "Yes Zac, I've loved you for a long time. I've dreamed of you for years. I love you because you are the man who makes me feel safe, loved, wanted and cherished. That's how you make me feel. I feel so special when I'm with you. I don't want to feel normal anymore, I want to feel special. Zac, the way I feel only when you look at me, touch me, hold me, kiss me. Zac you do that to me." Jessy said kissing him again with her heart. "Well I say somebody is as connected as another young couple I remember mother." Daddy said. "I look at Jessy and remember how special you made me and still make me feel. I love you Walker Hanson." Mom said kissing Daddy. Isaac grabbed a camera and was moving people out of the way. "What?" Monica asked. "Stories, the next generation and the first generation." he said clicking away. "Aww." she said and turned to share with Tay and Chele. Jarrod came running up excited, "Man were having a party. Zac, Jessy you gotta come and hang. We're having pizza." "Pizza." Jessy squealed. "Mom, Dad can we. You know Jarrod and the guys don't drink or allow drugs so can we go?" Zac asked while Jarrod whispered to Jessy. "Please Mom, Daddy. I'm so wired now I couldn't go to sleep. And I really enjoyed the Twins." Jessy pleaded then she turned. "Chele, Monica you are more than welcome to come and meet the band, they're really cool guys. Oh you can bring what's his name and his buddy too." Jessy said. "You sure Jessy, I don't want to spoil your fun." Chele said looking down. "I won't let you, it's your problem not mine, I'm not the one who accused someone of having sex with a guy they'd just met, you are. I'm just the victim, Zac and I that is. It hurt that you would cheapen what we had going. Thank God Zac wasn't looking for a piece, because you just gave everyone around here the impression that I was easy. I could be in a lot of trouble if this was any other band touring except Hanson and Admiral Twin. Do you have any idea what you did to me? to us? If Mom and Daddy weren't so cool, they could have easily bought into it and given us a hard time instead of their support. Why did you have to think that? I wouldn't and I thought you knew that, but I was wrong." Jessy said giving her back every hurt feeling, doubt she had felt that evening. Tears streaming down her face, Chele stepped forward, "Jessy I do know that, I trust you I really do. Hell I even trust you with Zac. I accused you because I don't trust me, I was fighting a battle with myself over what I was going to do when Tay and I got to that point and all of a sudden I hear you have unbuttoned and unzipped Zac's jeans. I didn't stop to think of anything but my own private war. In that war there's one and only one reason I'd have my hands on his jeans. The good thing in all this, my ruining our relationship with my lil sis, is now I know what my answer will be. Sorry Tay I think too much of myself to just have sex, I want and deserve more." Chele said looking at Jessy. "Oh Sis I still love you don't look so sad, it isn't ruined. And I say we go party and have a good time and deal with this tomorrow. Mom's coming, I'm going on Tour." Jessy screamed. "Ahhhhh!" Chele and Monica screamed and the three hugged and did their little Hanson dance. "Isaac here's the key to the van. You are responsible anything happens to that little girl, you don't want to know what will happen to you." Dad said. "Jessy did I hear you, you're touring with them, us?" Jarrod asked. "Yeah Jarrod. Daddy arranged it." Jessy said. "Cool. Reason to PARTY." he yelled as Zac looked at Walker and he nodded his head yes. "Jessy we can go, if you want." Zac offered. "Thanks Zac I want" Jessy said hugging him. Zac took Jessy's hand and headed out with Jarrod. "Monica there's a party going on, would you care to join me in having a good time." Isaac asked. "I'd love to party with you." Monica said wrapping her arm around him and they headed out after the others. "Chele I respect what you said to Jessy, and I agree you do deserve more." Taylor said. "Taylor thanks for understanding. I got invited to this party, and I was wondering if you weren't real busy with something else, um, if you'd like to come with me?" Chele asked quickly looking away, then back at him. "I'd love to go with you." Taylor beamed. "Gees that'd be nice." Chele said flirting. "Yeah real nice. Chele?" Taylor asked. "Yeah Tay?" Chele answered. "Can I hold your hand? I promise I'll give it back and not get it too sweaty." Tay asked wiping his hand on his jeans and extending. "Okay as long as it's not sweaty." Chele smiled taking his hand and they quickly joined the party.
