*2 months later*
                          
The tour has already gone by, now we were leaving back home to England. Now, I'm a little bit over three months pregnant, and it's been difficult to hide it from Jimmy and everybody else. Everything was going fine, but of course on every tour, there's one thing. Groupies. They would swarm all of the boys, especially Jimmy and Robert. They all shooed them away, and ran to safety in their rooms. After a few hours of that, Richard finally got ride of them, well, most of them. One snuck on. Why did it have to be her?!
                          
The next morning I woke up in Jimmy's arms. His warm smile greeting me as I opened my eyes. 
                          
"Good morning my love..guess where we are!"
                          
"Umm....Narnia?"
                          
"Close enough!!" Jimmy said with a little bit of laughter.
                          
"We're home Meredith!" He said smiling even more, and pecking me on the forehead. I smiled, and pulled him in for a tight hug. We both shimmied out of the warm bed, and into some clothes. Jimmy had a long sleeve, green, silk shirt on. He wore black pants to compliment it. He looked sharp, while I looked like trash. A baggy Led Zeppelin tee that I didn't even bother tying up because it would show my bump, and some blue jeans. Jimmy chuckled at me. 
                          
"Well don't you look relaxed?" 
                          
"Sorry...I look like white trash." I said quietly.
                          
"Impossible...You look amazing love." He said with a wink.

We pulled up into the drive way of the Tower House. Both of us exhausted from the flight, and the drive. Suddenly, the front  door burst open, and a wave of auburn emerged out of it. A giggling mess of a girl ran towards us, and threw herself in our arms. 
                          
"Mummy!! Daddy!!" She said as she squeezed us tighter.  I crouched down, and scooped her up.
                          
"Oi! You're getting big my love!" I said as I held her close to me. 
                          
"I guess so Mum! I'm gonna be as big as you!" 
                          
"Easily!" I said back to her.
                          
We all ran inside, and all sat on the couch together.  I took a deep breath out as I relaxed more into the couch. 
                          
"Happy to be home love?" Jimmy said with a chuckle.
                          
"Hecklez yeah Jimmy."
                          
                                                 **2 1/2 months later.**
                          
I must've been Houdini to pull off not showing the baby bump. I don't know how Jimmy could be so oblivious to it. 
                          
But I found out why. I will always remember how much I cried that day.
                          
It was just  Lily, Jonesy, and I in the tower house. The others were out partying. I had my face buried in my hands, trying not to cry.
                          
"Jonesy...I don't know what's wrong with him. He's not his happy usual self. He's sad, and he rarely does anything with me and Lily. And, bloody hell...he's as skinny as a damn twig! "I sat up, and wiped away the warm, salty tears away from my face, then I noticed Lily start to have tears on her face too. 
                          
"I miss my old Daddy uncle Jones....what's wrong with him?" Lily said quietly.
                          
Jonesy looked at us, and a tear or two ran down his cheek. 
                          
"I know why Jimmy's been acting strange lately....." he paused, and put his hands together, and looked down at his legs. 
                          
"James....I don't know how I can say this....I'll just say it as it is." He paused again, and looked up at my face, now glistening from tears.
                          
"Jimmy's addicted to Heroin." 
                          
My heart almost stopped right there. My body started to quiver. I put my hand over my mouth.
                          
"H...Heorin?! CAN'T THAT KILL HIM?!" I started to yell,and I broke out in a cold sweat. Jonesy sprang up and ran over to me. 
                          
"Meredith, I know this is scary...I understand. He's one of my bandmates, one of my friends." he said while holding me.
                          
" I always thought he was a Love Addict....not a drug addict Jonesy." 
                          
"Meredith, I know this for a fact, Jimmy loves you more than anything. " He smiled, and placed a soft kiss on my cheek. He then went over to Lily, and picked her up, and hugged her. 
                          
"Uncle Jonesy?"
                          
"Yes?"
                          
"Is my daddy going to be ok?"
                          
Jonesy looked at me, then at her.
                          
"I hope so Lily....I really hope so."
