Jackie

Jackie still isn't fitting properly into her pre-maternity size clothing. There's no way she's going to start trying on wedding gowns until she loses the giant ass that has attached itself to her once shapely behind.

Bill had a list of personal-trainers-to-the-stars for Jackie to choose from, but Andrea's arrival made outside help unecessary. Nico's younger brother is no musician, but an athelete, and was out on their beach every morning exercising before breakfast from the first day he showed up. He was only too happy to be Jackie's personal trainer.

He's been helping her learn Italian, too, using the Scrabble set as an aid. Trill will grow up bi-lingual, Nico talks to her in Italian all the time, and as long as her uncle Andrea is in town, she hears it from him as well. Though she's never been good at languages, Jackie is determined not to be left out of this part of her daughter's life.

Now that Nico's video has become the huge hit Bill predicted it would be, he's out more than ever, and Jackie is glad to have the company of his younger brother. Still, she encourages the young man to get out, "Go check out Santa Monica or Venice, get out & have some fun," she suggests, feeling bad that he's stuck with her & the baby all day while Nico is out working.

Their drummer Matt is a new father now too, but unlike Nico, he doesn't have a solo project to promote & Bill leaves him alone. He's been calling Jackie & asking when the band can jam again. "He asked if Bill is trying to pressure you out of the band...," she says, wondering a little herself. "He doesn't pressure me as hard as he used to do you," Nico answers with a laugh, and promises again that it was just the one song. "It can't last much longer, they'll get tired of it & move on to the next big thing. Then everything will be like before," he says, and Jackie can see the exhaustion & strain in his eyes, and she remembers what it was like to be out in the spotlight all day, Bill's promotional tool, how the pressure would get to her. "I have to go to party for the label with Bill tomorrow, I could be out all night," he says with a sigh.

"Why don't you take Andrea along?" Jackie suggests, "He's here with me & the baby all day: get Bill to introduce him to some models or something, he needs to get out & meet people." Nico hesitates, his expression pained, and Jackie laughs lightly, "C'mon Nico, your little brother is as grown up as you are, he's not going to get in any trouble, it's just a party."

Nico opens his mouth as if to protest, then shakes his head a little & pounces on her playfully, "Of course, Jacklyn, you're right," he agrees, "I'll take Andrea with me tomorrow."
