Irish was back at her apartment after she and Justin spent two weeks to themselves at the cabin. It was like they were back where they were when he had first arrived in her life. But now it was back to life as usual, since she was home again and bigger than ever. Irish was now in the middle of her seventh month. She waddled fresh from the bathroom, ready to go to work.

She got in her car, heading to the off and she listened to the radio. “Hey all, I just heard a rumor that Justin Timberlake is about to become a father.” The DJ said over the radio.

Iris’s eyes went wide as she tried to make it safe to work. “I wonder if he got a new girl or is he back with one of his old ones, if the rumor is true.”

Irish turned off the radio as she realized that she was at work. She got out of her car and headed into work. She started to do the daily routine she always did at work. She was finishing up some back room stocking as she heard from one of her associates, that she was
needed up front.

Irish put up the last cd before, waddling out as she looked at her watch. It was close to lunchtime and the baby moved around to remind her. “What am I needed for, Brian?” She looked at Brian as he tilted his head in the direction in front of her. Irish turned to see Justin standing there with a baseball cap covering his head and shades over his eyes.

He was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans with a gray short-sleeved polo shirt. A smile turned on his lips as he saw the glow of her face . “ I need you, if you don’t mind” He said as he reached for her hand and pulled her into a quick kiss.

“Okay Malibu, knock it off. That’s how she got like that.” Brian stated as the rest of the sales associates laughed.

“Malibu?” Justin asked as he pulled away and looked down at Irish. She held back her laughter as she whispered. “ I’ll tell you about it later.”

They walked out towards his truck as they both wore shades , protecting their eyes from the bright sun. Irish had a tan bucket hat on head to make sure she didn’t sun stroke also. They walked hand in hand as they finally reached the truck.

“Have I told you lately that I love you?” She looked up at him through her shades. Justin leaned down and spoke against her lips, singing the Rod Stewart song. Irish laughed as Justin nodded.

“There’s no need to tell me. I love you too. And you too.” He spoke to the baby ,by rubbing the spot he knew he’d get a kick from. Justin escorted her to the passenger side .

“Irish, there is something I‘ve been wanting to ask you .”

Irish stopped as she opened the car door. She turned around to see Justin get down on one knee as he took her left hand with his right one and open a small black box with a plan, silver ring. It had a message inside that said, ‘ Diana, forget me not. – J.’

Irish stood there as Justin read the inscription before putting the ring on her ring finger.
Justin cleared his throat as he began to speak. “I wanted to do this later tonight. With your favorite flowers everywhere and you and me in the tub and well….” Justin watched her ,imagining her eyes as they were still covered up.

Reading his mind, she lowered them some as her thick ,long hair whipped around. Her eyes held love and admiration for him as she quietly listened on.

“I couldn’t wait I want to ask you will make me as happy as I was when I first fell in love with you. Will you give me the honor of becoming my wife. I can’t see you and Shanti not in my life. Not being my personal family. My wife, my lover, my friend. And sharing the love and parenting our child . Will you, marry me?”

Irish slipped her shade back up as she shook her head. Yes.” She choked out in a whisper. Justin grinned as he jumped up and pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight.

Justin was about to say something else, when his eyes picked up a blinding flash. He turned his head and saw stalkerazzi about ten feet away with a 100 feet lens. A worried look crossed his face as he turned back to see that Irish knew. “Quickly get in the car and keep your head down!’ He whispered hard near her ear. Irish nodded as she quickly obeyed him.

She buckled her seat belt and made sure her head was down. With the shades, all of her hair and the hat , it was pretty difficult to see her face. Justin noticed that as he hopped into his seat and drove off..

They could hear the taunts from the mad photographers ,trying to get Justin and Irish’s attention. Mainly for that money shot . A picture of the face of the woman who was carrying Justin Timberlake’s firstborn child. The photographers knew this was breaking news.

A picture that was worth millions. Especially since Justin and the Mom-to-be didn’t want to share the news. Thought after thought entered Irish’s head. What she feared came true. She began to hyperventilate, imagining the worse. But her worse fear was yet to come.

A twinge of pain hit her womb. Irish fought to keep her head down as she let out a terrifying scream. Justin’s hand automatically went to t her stomach as he felt weird activity . The baby was moving too fast and too much.. He reached out and hit the speakerphone on his cell.

“Mom. Irish and I are being chased by photographers and to make matters worse I think Irish and the baby are in trouble!”

Lynn was silent for a moment as Justin drove on. Lynn heard the horrible scream from Irish as she spoke to her. “Irish, sweetie can you tell how bad from one to ten. Ten being the absolute worse.”

Irish waited for a moment for the pain to subside as she quickly spoke. “Thirty!” She let out as the pain came back.

Justin’s face was full of panic as his mom’s voice called to him. “Justin? How far are you from the hospital she’s registered at? “

Justin looked up and saw the signs before speaking. “About twenty minutes away.”

“I’m going to call Joshua and see if he ca come up with something.. Gotta go, Son. I will get back with you.”

Lynn hung up as Justin thanked heaven he filled the gas tank up before this happened. Five minutes went by before Justin’s cell rang. He pushed the speakerphone button and answered.

“Hello?’ He spoke.

“Justin, it’s JC. I talked to you Mom and we are out here looking for you. If you can find a away to make it to the self-service car wash that’s before you get to the car wash, we’ll take care of the rest..”

“Okay, I think I can loose them for a second so I can get there.” Justin told JC before hanging up. Justin searched the streets, looking for a way to loose them for a bit. He was starting to feel like he should give up when semi-truck pulled in behind him as he silently cheered, thanking God for this chance.

Justin made it to the car wash and saw four trucks pull up to his as he noticed that his Mom , Chris, Trace, and JC who was with a black female who could look like Irish somewhat.

They all came out and helped Irish to JC’s truck as JC stopped in front of Justin. “Justin, this April. She’s a friend of mine. You drive her back around and we can take Irish to the hospital.” Justin nodded quickly as he looked at his Mom ease Irish in the passenger seat.

Chris handed Irish’s hat and shades to April as Justin told her how Irish positioned in the seat. “Just give us a few minutes to get her settled before we call you and you come on.”
Lynn walked up to him and whispered. She gave her son a kiss a on the cheek as he watched Irish use JC’s phone to dial the doctor, announcing it’s time.
