Part 2

Katy woke up the next morning and was shock to find that Justin hadn’t come to bed. She got up and walked down the hall the to baby’s room. She smiled and leaned against the door frame. Justin had fallen asleep in the rocking chair with the baby in his arms. Katy quietly got a camera out of the other room and quickly took their picture. She set the camera down and then went over to them. She slowly removed the baby from his arms and place her in her crib. Then she covered Justin up and went down stairs to make breakfast.


As she was just finishing up breakfast, she heard the baby cry but then stopped. Then she heard foot steps on the stairs. Justin rounded the corner with Elena in his arms. “Morning mommy.” Justin said. “Morning you two.” Katy said offering Justin a plate. They traded and Katy took the baby. She got Elena a bottle then sat down with Justin. “I can’t tell you how sorry I am about last night.” Justin said. “It’s okay, just don’t make a habit about it.” Katy said.


“I won’t, I have to go in for a little bit today. We should be done soon.” Justin explained. “Well have a good day at work, we’ll see you when you get home. Elena and I have some earns to do.” Katy said walking over to Justin. He got up and gave each of them a kiss. Then they were off.


By the time Justin got to work the others were already there. They were all a little early so they sat around talking. “Hey guys I want to show you something.” JC said reaching in his pocket. He pulled out a tiny box. Inside was a diamond ring. “Wow, That’s nice when are you going to ask her?” Joey asked. “I’m not sure, do you guys think I would be doing the right thing by asking her?” JC asked eyeing the ring. “Of course, Kim already lives with you and you chased half way across the globe. What could be wrong about it?” Lance asked. “But do you think it will scare her off?” JC asked. “I think she really loves you, dude.” Chris explained.


“I know I want to ask her, I just don’t know when. I’ve had this thing for weeks. It never seems to be the right time.” JC explained. “You’ll know when it’s the right time to ask, I did.” Lance said. JC stuck it back into her pocket and they went about their day. As they were about to leave Justin stopped them. “I want to make it up to Katy for last night, what do you think I should do?” Justin asked.


“I know.” Chris said. They all looked at him. “You should offer to watch the baby one night so she can go hang out with her girlfriends.” Chris explained. “Yeah, that’s a great idea, since we’re done recording the album, we may have a few days off coming up.” JC added. “I don’t know if I can handle the baby by myself, I’ve never watched her alone.” Justin said. “You can always call us or your mom. That way all the girls can go out and have fun.” Lance said. The guys planned it all out and then went home to tell the girls the good news.


Mandy was going to pick them up around 6 and then they were going out clubbing. “Please don’t go.” Chris begged grabbing Brandi’s hand as she was about to get her coat. “Why not, this was your idea?” Brandi asked stopping dead in her tracks. “I know it was, and it sounded great at the time, but I really want to spend my time off with you. There’s no telling when our next break will be.” Chris explained. “Chris, I love you but I haven’t got to hang out with my friends for so long. I’ll spend tomorrow with you. My time is just as valuable as yours.” Brandi explained. She kissed him and smiled. “I’ll see you later and I promise, we’ll see more of each other.” Brandi added. “Okay, you go have fun. I’ll see you when you get back.” Chris said then closed the door behind her.


“JC, I’m leaving.” Kim yelled as she put her coat on. JC appeared around the corner. “Okay, you go and have a great time.” JC said. He kissed her sweetly. “Oh, if you think about it, you may want to call Justin at some point and make sure he and the baby are doing okay.” Kim said. “Didn’t worry I will, you just go and let me worry about Justin and the baby.” JC explained. “Thanks JC, I’ll see you later.” Kim said then joined her friends in the car.


“Joey, I have to go the others are here.” Nicoma said pushing him playfully. “Fine but I will wait up for you.” Joey said rising an eye brow. “I bet you will, your imposable.” Nicoma said getting up off the couch. Joey just sat back and crossed his arms. “Don’t I even get a kiss?” He asked. Nicoma smiled and walked back over to him. She kissed him then stepped back. “Happy?” She asked. “Not totally, but I’ll take what I can get.” Joey explained. Nicoma huffed and turned around sending her long red hair flying around her. “I’m going Joey, see you later.” She said walking for the door. “Have fun baby.” Joey called after her. She waved then was out the door.


They picked up Katy last, she left Justin a list of numbers including her cell. Justin took them but hoped he wouldn’t need to call her. Katy kissed Justin and then the baby. “You guys have fun, and try not to get into too much trouble.” Katy said jokingly. “Your worried about us, I know what you and your friends can get yourselves into.” Justin said with a smile. Katy just laughed and then left.


“Are you guys ready to party?” Mandy asked once Katy got in the car. “Yes, I am ready.” Katy said relieved to be away from the house for a while. “So how does it feel to be free?” Nicoma asked. “It feels great.” Katy said with a smile. “Aren’t you worried about the baby?” Mandy asked. “Yeah, but Justin is a good daddy. He wouldn’t to anything to hurt her. If there is a problem he’ll call some one.” Katy explained. “I would never trust Lance alone with my baby.” Mandy said. “You’ll change your mind once you have one.” Brandi explained. “Maybe.” Mandy said.


They arrived at the Club and got in right away. Once they got there Brandi, and Nicoma went straight for the dance floor, while Kim went to the restroom to fix her hair. Katy and Mandy sat at the table. “Hey Katy?” Mandy said after a short pause. “What?” Katy asked. “I have to tell you something.” Mandy added. “What is it?” Katy asked getting serious. “I think I may be pregnant.” Mandy explained. “Wow, how did Lance take the news?” Katy asked. “He doesn’t know yet.” Mandy said. “Mandy, you should tell him.” Katy said. “I know, but I don’t know how.” Mandy said. “Just tell him, he’ll be happy either way. I made Justin pass out, remember?” Katy recalled. “Yeah, that was funny.” Mandy laughed. “Tell him when you get home tonight.” Katy said. “Okay, I will. Thanks Katy, you’re a good friend. I’m so scared though.” Mandy explained. “Just say it don’t think about it or you will talk yourself out of it again.” Katy added. Mandy shook her head.


JC looked at his watch. It was 9 o’clock. He got up and went over to the phone. He dialed Justin’s number and then waited. It rang 3 times and then the answering machine picked up. “Justin, this is JC. I was just calling to see how you and Elena were doing. I’ll talk to you later.” JC said then hung up. “That’s odd.” JC said to himself. He picked up the phone and tried Justin’s Cell. Again it rang and rang but no one picked up, so JC hung up. “He must have left his cell in his car.” JC explained he scratched his head then picked up the phone again. He dialed another number and this time some one picked up. “Hi, Lynn. It’s JC. Is Justin and the baby over at your place?” JC asked. “No, why were they coming to see me?” Lynn asked. “No, Justin was babysitting, I just thought he might have gone to see you.” JC explained. “Oh, no he’s not here. If he comes by I’ll tell him you called.” Lynn said. “Thanks, I’ll try his house again.” JC said then hung up. “Where on earth could he be?” JC asked.


“I think some one needs to go find Brandi.” Kim said. “Why?” Nicoma asked. Kim held out her watch. Nicoma looked at it. “Oh my, is it really that late?” She asked. Kim nodded and went to look for the others. They finally got together and got outside. “That’s odd my phone it flashing.” Mandy said looking down at it as they walked to the car. Mandy quickly flipped though the numbers, one was her house number but the other she didn’t recognize. “Lance must have called while we were inside. I guess I didn’t hear it ring.” Mandy said. “Maybe you should call him and see what he wanted.” Kim said looking over her shoulder.


Mandy looked at her watch, “No, he’s probably a sleep, besides we’re on our way home any way.” Mandy explained. “Good point.” Brandi said. They all got in Mandy’s car and headed home, Justin’s house was closest so they were going to drop Katy off first. But as they got closer to the house they saw something that was a little odd. Nicoma saw it first but Katy wasn’t far behind her. Once they got close Katy didn’t even wait her Mandy to stop the car. She ran for the house, the front door was wide open. Katy went in and found the house trashed and full of cops.


“I’m afraid you can’t be here.” some one said. “But I live here, where’s Justin? Where my baby?” Katy yelled. The others waited at the door. “What’s going on here?” Kim asked. “That’s what we would like to know.” another man said joining them. “Hi I’m agent Monroe.” He added. “Some one better tell me something fast.” Katy said. “You must be Mr. Timberlake’s Girlfriend.” Agent Monroe said. “Yes, I am.” Katy replied. “When was the last time you talk to him?” He asked. “Before I left, look I want you to tell me what’s going on before you ask me any more questions.” Katy demanded.


“Well Miss, we got a call around 10 o’clock from a neighbor of yours. She said you two had just had a baby was it wasn’t odd to hear it cry from time to time, but she said the baby had been crying for some time so she went over to make sure everything was okay. She found the front door open. Fearing something was really wrong she called us on her cell phone as she entered your house. When we got here she had found the baby laying on the couch and was holding it. But we haven’t found Mr. Timberlake yet.” The man explained.


“Child neglect is a serious offense.” the other man interrupted. “Oh come on, Justin may not keep his promises and he may not know much about babies, but he’s a good father and he loves Elena. He couldn’t just leave her.” Katy snapped getting in his face. Just then Katy heard her baby cry. She looked round and ran over to her neighbor. “Look there’s mommy.” The neighbor lady said handing Katy the baby. “Thanks so much.” Katy said taking the baby. “You’re welcome, I was just so worried, it wasn’t normal to hear that baby cry for that long.” She explained. “You don’t know what happened to Justin do you.” Katy asked hopeful. The neighbor just shook her head no.


“Poor Katy, something is not right about this.” Brandi said. “Mrs. Bass, we tried to contact you.” The agent said. “Why?” Mandy asked turning to face him. “After we got the call about Mr. Timberlake, we naturally called his friends in Nsync. We can’t find them either. Your husband appears to be missing.” He said. “What?” Mandy yelled. “We checked their places and we found only signs of struggle.” The other one added. Mandy nearly feel down but Kim caught her. “This can’t be happening.” Mandy cried. “It’s okay we’ll find them.” Brandi said softly. “I wouldn’t worry too much if I were you. This happens every year about this time.” The cop explained. “This is different this isn’t like all the other times.” Brandi explained.


“Please, trust me I know, they’ll be back in a week or so.” He explained. “No, this isn’t the same, if Justin was just going to run off for awhile he would have at least left the baby at his mom’s or waited until I was home watching her. Justin isn’t stupid.” Katy snapped getting in his face. “You just let us do our job.” The cop said. “Great, then start gathering fact and stop make silly assumptions.” Brandi yelled. “You guys I don’t want to be alone tonight, I’m scared.” Kim said. “It’s alright I think we are all a little scared.” Mandy said comforting her friend. “We’ll stay together tonight, we’ll get a hotel room or something.” Nicoma said.


They agreed and got a room at a nice hotel. None of the slept well that night. They slept for a few minutes at a time, but kept waking up.
