| Chapter 8 A few days later Johnny had scheduled for Lance to call into TRL to tell the fans. He felt the fans should hear it from Lance rather than anywhere eels. They had also had Joey call in a few days before Lance t announce his engagement to Kelly and her pregnancy. "Phoning in is a very special guest, Lance Bass." Carson said as a picture of Lance flashed up on the screen. " Hey Carson, Hey guys!" Lance said as he's palms began to sweet. He was sitting in a conference room with Fiona at the hospital. Fiona saw that he was nervous so she took his hand into her and brought it to her lips. "How you been Bass Man?" Carson asked. "Busy." Lance replied. " I just got off of tour and came home to spend time with my girlfriend." He said as Fiona squeezed his hand. "Did I hear correctly Girlfriend?" Carson asked a few girls in the audience booed. " You heard it right." Lance said with a chuckle. " That's not the only news." He said. " Let me guess you're getting married?" Carson said jokingly. "Nope not yet but let me say we have a new member to the Nsync family." Lance said as Carson and the crowd silence. " Who is it?' Carson asked. He was unaware of Lance's news. " My son. Gabriel Zeke Bass." Lance said with a smile. " You heard it first here folks." Carson said. ' Lance has a girlfriend and son." He said. " So tell us about your son Lance." He said "Gabe was born on the 15 th. A few months early but he should be fine soon." Lance said as the girls in the audience Aww'ed. " I'll be sure to keep you'll updated." He said as someone knocked on the door. " I'll let you go Lance." Carson said. " Go be with your family." He said as Lance smiled. It wasn't as hard as he thought. He didn't know why he worried so much. "I will Carson thanks for letting me call in and share my news." Lance said as JC and Justin walked in the door. "Not a prob man." Carson said as the connection clicked off. " So where's the little man?" Justin asked as Lance and Fiona stood up and greeted them. "Down the hall in NICU." Lance replied. "Sorry he's so rude. You must be Fiona. I'm JC." JC said as he extended his hand to Fiona and she shook it. " I am." Fiona replied with a weak smile. She hadn't gotten much sleep in the past few days since the birth of Gabe. " If you guys don't mind I'm going to spend some time with my son." She said as she released Lance's hand and walked out the door to her son. "I gotta go too." Lance said as he started out the door. " You guys are welcome to come see him if you'd like." He said. " Of Course we do." JC said answering for Justin as the boys followed Lance into the NICU to see Gabe. When they reached Gabe's incubator the Dr. appeared and said he needed to speak to Fiona and Lance, which left JC and Justin alone for a few minutes with the baby. " He's so small." Justin said quietly to JC as they stood on opposite sides of the incubator. " Yeah he is." JC replied ran his fingers through his new slightly longer hair. " Maybe he'll be better then his old man." Justin said with a laugh as a nurse walked in and glanced at the machines. She jotted down a few things before stopping and slipping her hand into the incubator. " Hey Gabe. How are we today?" The nurse asked as Gabe opened his sleepy green eyes. " You guys know you can talk to him and touch him. He likes it very much." She said turning to Justin and JC. "We know." JC said as he marveled over the nurse. She was cute to say the least. She was about 5'7" and had long curly red hair. Her green eyes sparkled as she smiled at JC. "You be good Gabe." She said as she walked out of the room. " Gabe man share the wealth." JC said jokingly as he slide his hand into the incubator and stroke. " You're nurse is hot. You know how lucky you are to have her?" he asked unaware she was standing in the door way listening. " Yeah think you could get Uncle C her number?" Justin said jokingly as Gabe started to move a bit in the incubator. "He could have it if he asked." The nurse said with a laugh as she continued to stand in the doorway. "So can he?" Justin asked her as she walked over to JC and opened the incubator. "Sure." The nurse replied by this time JC saw her nametag. It read Crystal Evans. " I came back to ask you if you'd like to hold him." She said as she took Gabe out of the incubator. "Sure I guess." JC replied as he pulled up the rocking chair and sat down. "Make sure to support his head." Crystal said as she placed Gabriel in JC's arms. " I will." JC said with a smile. " I'll be back in a few minutes to check on you all." Crystal said as she exited the small room so she could continue her rounds. " Thanks little man." JC as he started to hum softly a song he sang to Justin's little brothers when they came to town to see them. It was only a few moments before Justin joined him only this time he sang the song softly. I used to think that I could not go on And life was nothing but an awful song But now I know the meaning of true love I'm leaning on the everlasting arms If I can see it, then I can do it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can sore I see me runnin through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly See I was on the verge of breakin down Sometimes silence can seem so loud There are miracles in life I must achieve But first I know it starts inside of me I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can sore I see me runnin through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly Cause I believe in me If I can see it, then I can be it If I just believe it, there's nothing to it I believe I can fly I believe I can touch the sky I think about it every night and day Spread my wings and fly away I believe I can sore I see me runnin through that open door I believe I can fly I believe I can fly I believe I can fly That was all that was needed before Gabriel drifted fast to sleep in JC's arms. |
