2 Chapter: The beautiful vacation days




Yakko grabbed her phone and called Maiko. Maiko and Isuzu were very happy about it. They promised not to reveal anything to Joe yet. Yakko lay awake tonight and missed Joe very much.

Joe, she thought I miss you so much and soon I'll be fatter. Our baby grows inside of me. Hashito and Juliano had been sleeping for a long time. She finally fell asleep too. The next day she read the newspaper. There was a new rumor: "Bee Hive will stay in America longer". Yakko missed Joe and she hoped he would be back with her soon. Today she met with Maiko. They were talking over tea. Yakko, if there's anything to that rumor, you have to tell Joe you're pregnant. Yes, I'm thinking how to start. But I'm going to start a letter tonight. When Yakko and Maiko said goodbye, she went back to work. She worked hard, Yakko, you stop working immediately, Shigemaru shouted sternly to her. He was worried. Go pick up Hashito.

Tonight I'm going to write Joe a long letter, she thought as she picked Hashito up from kindergarten. Mom, will Joe be back soon? Hashito asked her every day. Hashito it was Joe's dream to be on stage in America. We both miss him very much. But he'll be back soon. Come on, Hashito, let's go home and have a nice meal.

Later she sat at the desk and thought about what to write. Then it began: My dearest Joe!

I miss you a lot and I can hardly stand it without you. The days with you in America. beautiful. Hashito asks for you every day, whether you've written or called.
There is a rumor in the newspaper: Are you really going to stay in America longer? Joe, I miss your voice, your kisses, and your tenderness. We need you. I need you especially now and I want you to be here. There is great news and I really wanted to tell you personally. I want to look in the face, to see your movement, in your face, what you think and feel. My angels, I would love to lie in your arms now. Come back soon, then I can show you something. Oh Joe, if you read this, I hope you come back home and don't extend your stay in America. Joe, i'm pregnant. I'm in my second month. I love you See you soon your Yakko

A small tear ran down her cheek and dripped onto the notepaper. Hashito was lying in bed and crooked, Juliano was lying on top of him. It's a cute picture to see both of them like that. Yakko ran quickly to the post office and arrived in good time before the shop closed. This letter has to get to my husband in America quickly. Then they have to send it by priority mail. She did and quickly went home and snuggled into her bed.

Joe lay in bed and dreamed of Yakko. Yes he missed her. He wants to write her another letter tomorrow.Sammy knocked on the door, Joe said he. "Come on, let's go eat something. Joe got up: I'm coming on,


You could tell that the Bee Hive needed a break. Joe had circles under his eyes and looked bad. No wonder with the mammoth program that they did every day.

Today after the concert Joe was very tired and wanted to go to bed. On the way to the room, he picked up his mail. When he got to the room he put the mail on his bed, undressed and took a shower. That was good, he thought. But of course his thoughts were with his wife. Oh Yakko, it's a shame you're not here anymore. He looked through the mail. A letter from Yakko. At last ! he thought. He opened the letter and found it was blurred. Yakko must have been crying, he thought, leave her the sweet lines. When he read that she was pregnant, he was really happy. Oh, they had an offer to stay longer. They all wanted to think about it. Joe had to speak to Sammy. Immediately, he wanted to go home as soon as possible. They needed a break. For the past few months they had given a concert every day. Joe's voice suffered as well, Sammy, can I speak to you? Yes, come in Joe, he said to his friend. I want to fly home next week after the last concert and not extend the tour. Joe, looked at his friend. Sammy: You are right. Bee Hive is on hiatus for two weeks in Japan. He discussed the new plans with her manager.



Joe woke up and planned to spend a few minutes of the day alone with his wife today. It had been so long since they could really talk, only briefly on the phone. So he wanted to surprise her and ordered breakfast in his room. Yakko was still sound asleep. Joe quickly left the room and went to the flower shop in front of the hotel and bought a rose. He went back to his room, beaming, where his wife was still sleeping. Yakko opened his eyes carefully and turned around in bed again. Joe smiled: 'Sweet breakfast! I'm only dreaming all this, she whispered. Joe had to smile and gave her a kiss on the forehead. Now she was awake and saw breakfast and the beautiful rose.
It was only when she got up that Joe noticed how thin Yakko had become. Yakko you got thin. Haven't you eaten. Yes, Joe, but the stress and all the work. And loneliness, she replies. I worked every day and studied hard for my final exam. How did they go, your exams? , said Joe, who had forgotten because they had several appointments every day. Yakko smiled and said passed. Sorry honey that I wasn't there for you. And you still had to take care of Hashito. I should have taken it with me, said Joe sadly. Joe now we're together, you don't need to be sad. Come on let's have breakfast, otherwise the coffee will still be cold.They ate together and cuddled and kissed. My longing for you has grown bigger every day and so that you are a little with me, I have heard your CDs and songs. Joe smiled and kissed his yakko. And do you have a concert today? Yakko asked excitedly. Yes of course, said Joe and looked at Yakko. I only play for you today.





Yakko said: Great, finally I can see you live and hugged Joe. He noticed anyway that Yakko had changed. She had matured.

She didn't want to think about work on vacation days, just enjoy the time with Joe. Every evening she saw and heard Joe on the
Stage. The female fans screamed, clapped and cheered the Bee Hive.

Joe spent a lot of time with Yakko. They strolled through town, talked and laughed together. He knew it would be precious time with his wife. Yes he loved her, only her. Even if the band was cheered and celebrated by female American fans every day
they were very attached to their homeland and their wives, whom they missed more and more every day. The press was enthusiastic about the band Bee Hive. Every day there were long articles in the newspapers and magazines. Yakko had to get used to the fact that Joe is so popular, and famous that scared her a little.

One evening after the concert, the band went back to the hotel. Yakko wanted to freshen up for the meal. Joe noticed this and left his friends and followed Yakko. Honey, what's wrong with you today? I don't know you so depressed. Please tell me what's going on, said Joe who had just caught up with her. Oh Joe, the newspapers and the rumors in them weigh on me. she said on it. Yakko looked closely at Joe and he said: I love you, only you I don't really care what is in the paper. Joe took Yakko's hand and smiled at her. If you want we can both go out alone, he said. Yes, I would like to be with you





Go out to eat, Yakko replied. Joe went back to the others and said: I'm going to have dinner with Yakko today, we have something to discuss. Sammy nodded and smiled over at Joe. Yakko enjoyed being alone with Joe again.

Yakko could have got used to it, but unfortunately the vacation will soon end. However, she was looking forward to taking Hashito and Juliano into her arms again. Maiko and Isuzu also had to work again and flew back with Yakko.

Last night, Yakko sat sadly on the bed. Joe takes Yakko comfortingly in his arms and says: Honey, we'll see you again soon. But it will take weeks to bring Yakko close to tears. I will try to call as often and I will miss you already. I will write you letters too. There are only two and a half months left and I'll be with you forever. Yes, 2 ½ months is a long time, honey, said Yakko and kissed Joe.Her things were already packed and the suitcases were ready at the door. They flew around 3:00 am so Joe and Yakko had a cozy last evening. The night passed very quickly.
