-Chapter 20

---Fast Forward FUTURE----

--*7 months later*--
-----Joe looks down at this tiny human. How could it be so small and perfect? He takes a hand in his, his hand almost five times bigger. She looks up at him with big dark blue eyes and then closes them as Joe leans down to kiss her forehead.


----Present----

-It is Becca's birthday...July 25....and she is not in the mood to celebrate her 18th birthday. Her life was already screwed up, why be happy about it?
-Joe, Nick, and Kevin had set out again to finish the tour and now arrive back in Franklin for a few months.

-Connie is trying to get Becca to agree to a small get-together, but Becca disagrees.

-Connie-Come on, we'll just invite the guys and maybe Rene and Nicole?

-Becca-Noo...look I'm not up for this!

-Connie-Ok, fine, we will only invite Joe, Nick, and Kevin.

-Becca-No.............!

-Connie-Becca, just come on. *picks up the phone and dials the Jonas Brothers' phone number*

-Becca-Ok. Whatever. *sits down on the chair and watches Connie*

-Connie-Hey Joe!!....yeah...no....no, Becca and I were wanting you guys to come over for ....oh. yeah here.

-Connie hands the phone to Becca, who rolls her eyes and sighs.

-Becca-Hello?

-Joe-Hey Becca. Happy birthday.

-Becca-Oh...thanks.

-Joe-Are we going to talk? About..?

-Becca-Joe! No! It's my birthday! I don't want to talk or think about it!

-Joe-Ok, sorry.

-Becca-No, I'm sorry.

-Joe-Hey, we'll see you soon.

-Becca-Ok. Bye.

-Hangs up phone and turns to Connie.

-Becca-What are we going to do? We have nothing for a party or anything.

-Connie-We'll order pizza and I don't know.

-Joe, Nick, and Kevin show up fifteen minutes later, and Joe asks Becca if he can talk to her. They go outside and Joe stands there before talking.

-Joe-Happy birthday...again.

-Becca-*smiles*-Thanks.

-Joe-*takes something out of his pocket*-Close your eyes.

-Becca-Ok...? *closes eyes though*

-Joe holds up the necklace he had gotten Becca...it is a heart with their initials engraved on it. He moves Becca's hair out of the way and puts it on her. Becca reaches up and touches it and turns to look at Joe.

-Becca-*looks in reflection on sliding door*-Thanks Joe.

-Joe-*kisses her*

-They go back inside and Becca is greeted by Nick and Kevin, who hug her and wish her a happy birthday.

-The five end up just sitting there, listening to music and talking, but noone minds. Nick gets up and goes to the car and comes back holding a cake. He holds it up.

-Nick-It's kinda...melting...the icing....

-Becca-*gets up and goes over to look. It is a white cake from a bakery and it says "Happy birthday Becca" with decorations on it, and in the corner it has "JJ & BD".*

-Nick-Joe's addition...he told them to put it on there.

-Becca-Thank you guys. *Nick puts the cake down, Becca hugs him then Kevin then Joe, holding Joe the longest.*

-The guys sing "Happy Birthday" to Becca, Joe acting all goofy like he's serenading her, getting down on one knee and holding his arms out Becca laughs and pulls him up.

-Becca-That was cheesy Joe.

-Joe-Sorry! *laughing*

-Becca-Thank you again. I love you guys so much.

-She doesn't know what is in store though for the next couple days though.
