Josh Josh pulls on his button down slowly, smiling at himself in the mirror, all in all he was in a good mood, and of course he knew that Sel would be happy to see them. It felt just like old time really, except that it didn't..he turns to Nessa smiling. "Ready to go?"

Vanessa Vanessa finishes putting on her heels smiling up at Josh, even after all this time she felt butterflies. These last two days had been great, and she couldn't wait for the concert tonight. "Ready" she smile taking his hand.

Sel Selena laid in bed with Maddie resting on her chest still sniffling. Between the sniffling and the snoring of both Kevin and Brian, Selena just rolled her eyes before looking back down at Maddie.

Josh Josh takes her hand smiling leading her out of the room. He walks down to the elevator and then steps out, her hand still in his as they walk to the car that was waiting for them. "Are we meeting Sel at her hotel room?"

Vanessa Vanessa smiles at Josh, squeezing his hand as they step into the car. She leans her head on his shoulder smiling up at him. "Yeah, I think so? I haven't seen her since your party. I miss her.." Vanessa trails off looking straight ahead.

Sel Selena wipes away a few stray tears from Maddie's cheek before glancing down at her phone to check the time. She answers a few texts from her dancers before putting the phone back down.

Josh Josh smiles down at her, before nodding. "I miss her too, I used to see her a lot more but we have both been busy. Text her? Tell her we are on our way?" He smiles stroking her knuckles softly before pulling out his own phone.

Vanessa Vanessa nods grabbing her phone and rolling her eyes when he grabs his own, fighting a back the irrational jealousy. She quickly texts Sel looking ahead. "Are you excited for tonight."

Josh Josh quickly finishes his text to Jen then turns to Vanessa. "We are almost there, ask her if she is ready and if we should come up?" He says squeezing her hand.

Vanessa Nessa nods smiling at Sel's text. "You will be amazing! Are you ready? Josh and I are almost there, want us to come up?" She texts quickly turning to Josh. "Jen again?"

Sel Selena looks back at her phone and texts back. "Yeah. Come up. Half the family isn't awake yet." She hits send and sits up before getting out of bed with Madison.

Josh Josh nods slipping his phone back in his pocket. "Yeah, you know how we share a trailer? It's all wonky now" he says smiling as the car stops. "Let's go then, we might catch Sel without the makeup" he jokes trying to change the subject.

Vanessa Vanessa nods smiling sadly and turning away, not wanting to talk about his ex or his girlfriend or what ever. She chuckles half heartily stepping out of the car and leading him now up. She presses the number for Sel's room on the elevator and waits. Once there they head to Sel's door smiling.

Sel Selena bends down over the suitcase picking out outfits for the twins as well as herself tossing them up onto the bed. She walks over to the pack-and-play and gently lifts Brian out. "Come here, little man." Selena kisses his head as the infant starts to wake up.

Josh Josh walks behind her, silent now as they make their way to Sel's door. He wanted to feel bad about all this, but he wasn't sure what to feel anymore, at this point he was just doing, and hoping for the best. He knocks on the door waiting.

Vanessa Vanessa plasters on a smile and waits for Selena to open the door, letting go of his hand and fixing her hair gently running her fingers through her curls.

Sel Selena looks down at the twins when she hears the knock on the door. "It should be open," she calls out. Selena places the twins on the bed and starts to change Brian.

Josh Josh turns the knob, and pushes it open walking in. "Sel?" He chuckles stepping into the room, a smile on his face when he sees her with the twins. "Aren't you three the cutest"

Vanessa Vanessa follow Josh smiling at Sel. "Someone is having a busy morning" she chuckles stepping closer to look at the babies.

Sel "He's obviously talking about you, sister and daddy," Selena said to Brian as she finished changing him. "Since he's never nice to momma. Just remember that when you're big enough to beat him up. Which should be when you're about five." Selena turned around and smiled before pulling Vanessa into a hug. "I've missed you!"

Josh Josh laughs rolling his eyes at her short joke. "Of course it's going to start now." He chuckles. "Now can I carry the cutie who is going to beat me up in the future or will he cry?" Josh chuckles turning to look at the two girls.

Vanessa Vanessa hugs her tight sighing as she buries her face in her best friends neck. "Hi.. I missed you so much" she breathes pulling back to look at her.

Sel Selena rubbed Vanessa's back as she hugged her tightly. "He should be fine. You might make Madison cry by taking away her brother though." Selena pulled away from Vanessa to look back at the babies. "She should be fine though. I have to get her changed anyway."

Josh Josh smiles reaching down to carry the little boy, cradling him against his chest. "Hey you. I haven't seen you in forever.." He murmurs bouncing him softly. "Don't listen to your mom ok? I will be the cool uncle you love, not beat up. Sage that for nick or joe"

Vanessa Vanessa looks down at Selena a half smile on her lips. "How have you been? Super busy? I feel like we haven't really talked in too long" she smiles before looking over at Josh. "Wow, he is actually not bad with your kids..@

Sel Selena walks over to Maddie when she starts whining. "Told ya." She kissed the top of the little girl's head before starting to get her changed. "Uh. Not too busy. Just the past few days have been. Other than that, we hadn't really been doing to much." Selena looked over at Josh and Brian as she pulled on Madison's socks. "Yeah. I guess. He almost dropped Brian before. So he's come a long way."

Josh Josh rolls his eyes stroking the little boys face softly smiling. "That was one time, and he wasn't even close to falling to the ground. It was the first tiny baby I ever really held ok?" He smiles over at Sel. "Sorry Maddie.."

Vanessa Vanessa smiles nodding. "That's good, I'm sure you are excited to be back on your after everything" she says before walking over to Josh and the baby. "Sel why would you let him hd a newborn?" She chuckles.

Sel "It's bittersweet. Because the only reason I'm back is because of the fight between Kevin's brothers.." Selena shrugs as she picks Madison up off the bed. "He's an older brother. I thought he would have some baby skills." Selena walks around to the other side of the bed and kisses Kevin's cheek before whispering to him. "Hey lazy butt. If you want to come to the show, you need to open your eyes once today."

Josh Josh rolls his eyes once more turning towards Vanessa so that the baby was facing her. "I was tiny when Connor was born ok? My baby skills needed work. But with Jen's nephew I.." He stops biting his lip then smiling. "What ever. I'm better with babies now ok?" He says handing Vanessa the baby as his phone chimes.

Vanessa Vanessa freezes at his mention of Jen, again, after he had called her her name last night she was getting all too tired of it. She plays it off smiling and taking the baby. "Oh I'm sure you are" she laughs then looks at Sel. "Are they any better?"

Sel Selena looked up when she heard Josh's phone buzz and saw Vanessa's face. She stood back up and played with her fiance's hair as he started stirring in his sleep. "These guys?" Selena asked Nes if she was referring to Kevin. "I have no idea. Maybe a little. But nothing's completely fixed yet."

Josh Josh pulls his phone out looking at the message and typing quickly his eyes going between the screen and Sel. "They are brothers.. I'm sure they will figure it out.. Siblings fight no?" He asks referring to himself and her.

Vanessa Vanessa sighs looking at Sel with a frown before shaking her head playing with the baby in her arms. "Yeah, me and Stella do all the time." She says. "So yesterday, we went on a date to this really cute restaurant. Sel you would love it."

Sel Selena's heart almost broke when she saw Vanessa's face. "Oh yes. All the time." Selena walked over and put Maddie in her car seat. "Oh really? What was it?"

Josh Josh puts his phone away and smiles at Sel. "I'm sure your kids will fight too and they will make up. And when they do we just have to remember it's normal?" Josh says. "What time are we leaving Sel?

Vanessa Vanessa looks between them before looking at Josh. "A really nice Italian place, he remembered how much I love it.." She smiles sadly then reaches for his hand. "Babe can I have a minute with just Sel?"

Sel "Um.. Anytime now, really." Selena walked over to pick Brian up out of Vanessa's arms and put him in his car seat next to his sister. She looked up at Josh when Vanessa asked him for a minute.

Josh Josh nods squeezing her hand. He looks at Sel before cupping Vanessa's face gently pecking her lips. "Sure, I'll go get gum from the shop downstairs. Be right back" he smiles before heading to the door.

Vanessa Vanessa smiles against his lips and nods before turning to Sel as he walks away, her hands a little shaky. She takes a deep breath and shrugs. "I don't know.."

Sel "I have no idea what you two are doing at all."

Vanessa Vanessa shrugs her head before reaching up to wipe at her already starting to water eyes. "He flies me down to Georgia.. Tells me there is still something there.. And then.. I don't.." She says softly looking down.

Sel Selena walks over to her and wraps her arms around her kissing her cheek. "Nes… You know he's gonna go back to her…"

Vanessa Her shoulders shake as a small sad chuckles escapes her. "Then why is he here.. Why am I here?" She whispers as she wraps her arms around her friend. "I'm so confused.."

Sel "I don't know why… I was kind of confused when you told me you were coming with him." Selena held her tighter and rubbed her back. "He's probably just as confused as you are… I hope."

Vanessa Vanessa nods wiping at her eyes. "He.. I don't know why I still do this to myself.. Why I can't just.. Forget about all this.. I just. I-I miss him. I miss everything about before."

Sel "I don't know why you do it to yourself either." Selena smiles a bit wiping the tears she missed. "I miss it all too. But you have to stop being the girl he can run to when things get difficult with Jen. You two both deserve better than that. You deserve more than to be someone's back up plan."

Vanessa Vanessa closes her eyes tightly shaking her head. “He can still pick me.. We all know he is happier with me.. He is happier with us. She doesn’t make him happy. She only wants him when he doesn’t.” She mumbles bitterly.

Sel "No.. Nes you can't say things like that…" Selena pulls away to look at her. "She does make him happy…"

Vanessa Vanessa shakes her head taking a deep breath. "He is upset half the time.. He is always.. And with me.." She mumbles taking a deep breath. "I don't know."

Sel Selena rubs her arms gently as she listens. She shakes her head. "They've been through a lot."

Vanessa "So you think I'm dumb for thinking there is even a chance?" She mumbles. "He isn't always an ass.. Like yeah he texts her, but he pays attention to me.."

Sel "No. I think he's just a butt for letting you think there was a chance." Sel nods. "I know he isn't always one. But…"

Vanessa "He basically broke up with Jen.. To at least try things with me.. That means something.."

Sel "And let me guess…he probably hasn't gone one day without texting her. Was that her he was texting just now?"

Vanessa Vanessa frowns looking down once more, her heart heavy. "Maybe.. But he isn't with her. He could be, and he isn't."

Sel "Don't do this to yourself. Stop making excuses. You know the truth…" Selena wrapped her arms back around her.

Vanessa Vanessa sighs pulling her close. "I'm already in too deep." She sighs. "But. We will be ok. Things can change. Tonight can change things."

Sel Selena sighs and keeps her arms around her not saying anything.

Josh Josh walks back into the room, smiling at two of the woman he cared about most. "Ok you two, all the love, are we about ready to go or?"

Vanessa Vanessa smiles as she pulls away nodding, plastering bright smile on her face. "You can just join the hug if you are so jealous" she teases.

Sel "No he can't." Selena picks up the twins' car seats. "I'm ready."

Josh Josh rolls his eyes stepping to her. "Here let me help you Sel." He offers. "And thanks, you are so sweet.

Vanessa Vanessa follows Sel smiling. "I'm so excited to see the show Sel"

Sel "No. It's fine. I got it." Selena continues to carry the babies down the hallway before they get to heavy and hands Brian's car seat over to Kevin. "I hope you like it! I get so nervous when friends or family come to watch it."

Josh Josh sense that Sel is mad at him and steps back, choosing to let her cool off before even trying to talk to her again. "Oh please, I've seen you preform before, you are amazing." He chuckles.

Vanessa Vanessa takes Josh's hand shaking her head, it was probably set if him an Sel didn't start something now. "I think I saw one if her shows once. Not sure. I've seen plenty of videos."

Sel Selena steps into the elevator and takes a deep breath before turning around. "Thanks." Sel leans against Kevin and closes her eyes.

Josh Josh holds Vanessa's hand ignoring his phone going off once more, knowing that was more than likely what Sel was upset about. "Where do the babies stay during the show?"

Vanessa Vanessa looks at Selena and Kevin so clearly in love and feels a pang in her chest, knowing they were miles away. " Yeah? Do they cry about the noise?" She smiles looking down at the babies.

Sel Selena opened her eyes but stayed against Kevin, just being near him making her feel better. "They stay with Kevin in the wings. They can't hear anything. We have headphones for them."

Josh Josh laughs nodding. "That's kind of adorable." He chuckles as the elevator door opens. "So we will meet you there? I will have our driver follow you"

Vanessa Vanessa starts to walk off dragging Josh along. "They are all so adorable really.." She smiles. "So put together."

Sel "Yeah. That sounds good." Selena walks out with Kevin holding onto his hand. They walk down to the car and Sel steps back as Kevin opens the door for her before getting in with Maddie.

Josh Josh nods pulling Vanessa into their own car. "They do, but Sel deserves it." He says meaning it. "She is mad at me isn't she?" He asks Vanessa as they follow the family.

Vanessa Vanessa smiles playing with his fingers. "She isn't.. She is just worried. About us.." Vanessa admits shrugging. "Let's just have fun"

Sel Selena puts the headphones over the babies' ears and covers their seats up when they pull up to the venue and the windows immediately start lighting up with the flashes of the cameras.

Josh Josh sees the cameras and shakes his head. They were sure to be all over the tabloids now, but that was probably what he got for going to his best friends concert with his ex. "Ok, have fun" he says nodding as they stop the car. "I mean at least we get to see Sel now."

Vanessa Vanessa looks out the window then back at Josh then at their fingers. "Should I step away or.." She mumbles, not sure what he wanted.

Sel Kevin got out of the car first and Selena got out of the car holding the babies. Kevin kept his arm around her as they made their way into the venue.

Josh Josh shakes his head, opening the door and pulling Vanessa out after him, following the family in, his head down as they walk. "Nice venue." He comments.

Vanessa Vanessa smiles squeezing his hand as they walk in. "Well Sel is pretty famous now" she chuckles finally inside.

Sel As soon as they step inside, Selena is pulled away to go get changed.

Josh Josh makes his way to the audience waving at a few people who recognize him before turning around as the show starts. His arms wrap around Nessa's keeping her in front of him joking with her most of the time until it ends.

Vanessa Vanessa enjoys the concert, loving all of the costume changes and songs. She leans back against Josh, all too happy to be there.

Sel Selena walks up the prop stairs at the end of the encore and waves goodbye before falling back off the stairs onto the mat on the other side.

Josh Josh claps enthusiastically before some of Sel's body guards come get them and take them backstage. He is excited and walks towards Kevin smiling widely. "She is pretty amazing"

Vanessa Vanessa looks around for Sel running to her and hugging her. "You did amazing!!" She gushes.

Sel Selena gets lifted off the mat by the stage crew and wraps her arms around Vanessa when she runs over to her. "Thank you! Did you like it?"

Josh Josh walks over to the girls, hanging back as they once more hug.

Vanessa Vanessa nods. "It's amazing! So much fun, I'm so glad we were here to see it! And you say you can't dance!"

Sel "Because I can't! But I'm glad you had fun!" Selena looks over at Josh while she hugged Vanessa.

Josh Josh quirks a brow at her smiling. "You did good. Really good. Except when you told me to go and get it. No thanks" he jokes.

Vanessa "You so can! Josh and I loved it." She laughs rolling her eyes at Josh's lame joke. "Really Josh?"

Sel "I was talking to Vanessa. Not you. Sorry. I don't want you to come and get it."

Josh "Ah that makes more sense. I mean I'm not sure what you are offering but I still don't want it" he winks at her. "So now? Are you hungry? I feel like we need to do something family friendly" he chuckles.

Vanessa "I am more than happy to go and get it!" She giggles then nods at his words. "Yessss I'm hungry!"

Sel "Uh sure. Let me go get changed."

Josh Josh looks over at Vanessa before following Sel into her dressing room. "Hey, can I talk to you?"

Sel Selena jumps a bit when she hears someone else in her dressing room. "Jesus Josh.."

Josh "Hey, it's not like your naked yet calm down" he shrugs. "Want to tell me why you have been giving me the cold shoulder all night?"

Sel Selena unzips her boots and slips them off before putting them with her other shoes. "I haven't been giving you the cold shoulder.

Josh "I'm pretty sure I know when my best friend is mad at me, what's going on? I thought you would be happy I was with Vanessa?"

Sel "You're not with her. By the end of the week you're gonna be back with Jennifer and Nes is going to be more broken hearted than ever." Selena turns her back to him. "Can you unzip this?"

Josh Josh looks at her shaking his head, reaching for the zipper. "You don't know that, I really do still have feelings for Vanessa, and with Jen everything is complicated" he mumbles pulling it down.

Sel "Turn around." Selena waits until he turns around to start getting changed. "Look. You've been texting Jen what seems like non-stop. You love Jen. Those feelings for Vanessa are just because you didn't go through half the things with her that you had to go through with Jen. So yes. They were happy non-complicated times. But you couldn't stay away from Jen if someone begged you to."

Josh Josh turns sighing. "I've been texting Jen because she texts me.. She is upset and I'm confused and you were the one that basically told me I would be better with Vanessa.." He sighs. "It's like. With Vanessa I'm not fighting.."

Sel Selena pulls on her shirt before slipping the shoes she came in back on. "I didn't say that. I said you couldn't compare the two relationships."

Josh "And if you thought I was better of with Jen then you would have said so, you didn't. I know you Sel. Which is why I don't get the cold shoulder"

Sel "I personally like you with Vanessa more. But that is because of selfish reasons. You're more the Josh I know when you're with her and it's less awkward hanging out with you. But none of that has anything to do with how you feel. Because you have never talked to me about marrying Vanessa before. So you're feelings are obviously different. I am only mad because instead of taking a break from Jen to clear your head and think about how you feel, you jumped into another relationship with Vanessa right away and her heart is going to be broken again when you go back to Jen."

Josh Josh turns slowly back to Sel sighing. "I know you are right.. I know you are and yet.." He sighs rubbing at his eyes. "What do I do Sel? Honestly I know I'm in love with Jen, I can't just forget about her, but if I love her shouldn't I just.. Not think about Vanessa?" He mumbles. "You know I couldn't sleep with her, I can't do that to either of them.."

Sel "If you were supposed to be with Nes, shouldn't you not be thinking about Jennifer?"

Josh Josh sighs and nods. "I will figure this out" he mumbles. "Just. Stop being mad, you are still my sister.."

Sel "I'm not mad at you. I'm mad at how stupid you are sometimes." Selena walks over and hugs him. "And you are very stupid."

Josh Josh chuckles sadly hugging her back. "Sorry.. I know I am.. I don't mean to be. You were awesome.. And I'm glad I got to see you."

Sel "Yes. Seriously. Stop being a stranger. Usually I have to kick you out I see you so often.."

Josh "Sorry.." He chuckles shaking his head. "I'll go to another concert before the end of the year, and I was planning on being home for Halloween, so maybe then too?"

Sel Selena starts walking out of her dressing room with her arm around him. "You don't have to. Once you've seen one, you've seen them all, I guess. We will be in LA for Halloween so maybe."

Josh Josh smiles down at her shrugging. "Yeah but it's fun to come see you, and we are both going to be busy, not to mention you might skip my premier.. Not cool" he teases.

Sel "Don't have a premiere on a day I have a concert."

Josh "You can can control yours, I have no say!" He shakes his head. "Stil saying you should reschedule.. "

Sel "I've already postponed, then canceled, then rescheduled the concert. I said I would try."

Josh "Exactly! Which is why one more day wouldn't matter" he chuckles. "Plus it's catching fire! Movie of the year. Come on now." He teases.

Sel "I'm trying…" Selena walks over to Kevin and kisses him before turning her attention to the babies. Sel kisses Maddie's head as she fusses. Kevin picks her up out of her seat. "I think we're gonna skip the food," Selena said as she walked over to Josh and Vanessa. "Madison is fussy so we're just gonna get them home and into bed. But thank you for coming." Selena hugs Vanessa tightly before walking over to hug Josh again.

Josh Josh hugs her back smiling. "It was awesome to be here. Thank you for everything and hopefully I'll see you soon." He smiles before walking towards Vanessa and heading out.

Vanessa Vanessa hugs her closer smiling. "Awww this sucks, but ok, I will see you at the Halloween party?" She smiles as she pulls away. 'And I'll text you"

Sel "Yes you will. Ok. Please do." Selena walks back over to Kevin and picks up Brian's car seat and Maddie's empty one before covering the babies back up as they leave the venue.
