AJ glanced over at the couch where Molly and Howie were sleeping. They were lying on their sides with their legs entwined and Molly's head resting on Howie's chest. The past two weeks had been brutal on him. Management had not been told that Molly and Howie were a couple so they had assigned Molly and Howie and AJ to one bus. AJ had been forced to bear witness to the little make out sessions, the glances of love during the shows and the bunk hopping in the middle of the night. He rolled his eyes and turned on the tv and became engrossed in MTV.

"So everything is going well, I am so glad to hear that, peanut is getting impatient and has been kicking up a storm, I am telling you baby do not be surprised if you get a phone call from me in the middle of the night telling you I am in labour" Skylar and Kevin were talking when Nick walked out of the bunk room and flopped down beside Kevin. Kevin groaned "Baby the youngin is up, can I call you back in a bit.....I love you too" Kevin closed his phone and looked at Nick who was channel surfing. "No wonder AJ doesn't want to bunk with you. My God pick a channel and keep it on ."
"I am so sick of everyone bitching, I am getting my own bus back" Nick pouted.

Molly stretched and was met with the musky smell of Howie's cologne. She nuzzled his neck and smiled when he groaned.
"Mmm now that is a wake up call I don't mind" Howie kissed the top of her head.
Molly looked at her watch "Do you realise that we slept for more than 12 hours?"
"I am still beat, how much longer till we get there?" Howie asked quietly as he stroked her hair and kissed her neck.
Molly tried to reach for her itinerary but she couldn't reach.
"Need this?" Molly looked up and saw AJ standing over her holding the itinerary.
"Thanks Alex. Where are we anyway?"
"We still have about 2 hours"
Howie groaned "Let's go back to the bunk and cuddle some more, it will make the time go faster"
"You can drag your lazy ass back to bed but I have lots of work to do" Molly kissed Howie as he got up off the couch and walked to the back end of the bus, where the bunks were.
Molly settled into the couch beside AJ and started to go over the reservations and the itinerary.
AJ watched her out of the corner of his eye as she made notes on the paper. "So Chipper, did you talk to Howie?" AJ asked in reference to the fight that had taken place the day before.
"No, he just doesn't understand" Molly's anemia had started to act up and she had been extremly tired and irritible with Howie when he bugged her about not wanting to go out. The doctor on tour had tried her on new iron supplements but they were not working. She and Howie had a blow out the previous night when they were scheduled for a benefit and she had been too tired and worn down to attend. Howie had screamed that it was all in her head and that she was lazy. Molly had run out on him and straight to AJ who had spent most of the night holding her and rocking her. When they checked out at 4 am that morning Howie had been waiting in the lobby for her with tears in his eyes and they had spent the majority of the trip sleeping on the couch in each other's arms.
"Molly you have to explain it to him, I mean what kind of relationship do you guys have if you cannot communicate with each other."
Molly smiled at AJ and rested her head on his shoulder "Why is it that I can tell you everything, why is it that you understand me better than I understand myself? Why is it that you are always there whenever I need you?" Molly yawned and closed her eyes.
AJ wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her in tight "Because I love
you Chipper, that's why" he said to himself as the woman fell asleep on his
shoulder.
