Chapter 52
“Hey,” he replied then high-fived Nick. “What’s up?”
Nick said, “Nutttin? Ready to head out?”
“Let me go say goodbye.”
Katrina and Nick followed Brian to the nursery. Tonya was rocking Brian Thomas Littrell, Jr. Brian said goodbye and the guys headed for rehearsal. The guys were heading out back out on tour in support of their fifth album in a month.
“So how are you guys all adjusting?”
Tonya replied, “We are doing great except for some lost sleep, but who care when you’ve got this little guy.”
“True.”
“Are you ready to be married?”
“I think so…let me rephrase. I’m ready to be married to Nick. It’s the wedding I’m not so sure about. We are trying so hard to keep things quiet so the press doesn’t show.”
“Why do that?”
“What do you mean Tonya?”
“I mean make an announcement the wedding is taking place in Lexington in two weeks. Tell them it is in your home church then go forward with the original plan.”
“You know that just might work.”
Katrina shared Tonya’s suggestion with Nick. They decided to give it a shot. The invitations had not specified a location. They had already arranged for limos to pick up guests and bring them to the wedding location. Kat talked with her mom, who agreed to talk to the minister of their church.
A week and a half later they were at the Morgan house. Both families were there putting the final touches on the wedding plans. Dana had talked to the minister. He explained someone was using the Sanctuary for a wedding the following day. Dana talked to the couple and they agreed to be Nick and Kat’s cover. What better way to fake-out the press than to have the church being prepared for a wedding? Things were coming together.
“Mom why are you looking at me like that,” asked Katrina.
“Because I can’t get over the fact my girl is getting married,” replied Dana. They were enjoying the early morning together before everyone got up.
“Oh Mom.”
“Katrina I’m going say something to you while I have the chance. I am very proud of the woman you have become. You are doing what you love and are successful at it. You have opened your heart to someone. You are the person I always hoped you would be.”
“Thanks Mom. I wish Dad felt the same way.”
“He does.”
“Opps! Morning Dad.”
“Katrina I am proud of you. Even though you didn’t follow my plan, you made a better one. I was always worried you wouldn’t be able to take care of yourself. Now I see you can.”
“Thanks Dad,” said Katrina as she hugged her father.
“Come on Kat let’s wake these people up. We have things to do,” stated Dana.
“Nick come here,” yelled Kat.
Nick came running into the family room and exclaimed “What?”
“Watch. Entertainment Tonight is making an announcement about you. One guess what it is.”
“Wedding.”
All the women had been in the family room finishing the place settings for the wedding reception. Angel had turned on the TV and stopped to watch Entertainment Tonight. She got everyone’s attention when Nick’s picture appeared on the screen. Mary Hart said they had some late breaking news regarding the Backstreet Heartthrob.
“Shh! Listen,” requested Jane Carter.
“Welcome back. Come Saturday, the youngest Backstreet Boy will no longer be single. In a statement release today by the BSB’s spokeswoman, Nick Carter, 22, announced he will be marrying his long time girlfriend, 26 year old Katrina Morgan on Saturday. You may recall Katrina is a photographer on the staff of Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs’ magazine Notorious. The statement went on to say they were planning to wed in Lexington. Sources close to the couple say it is only logical they would get married in Ms Morgan’s home church. One source said they would then be heading someplace warm for the honeymoon.”
“Then they know more than I do,” said Kat.
“My brother still hasn’t told you where you are going on your honeymoon?”
“No!”
“Good for him,” said BJ with a laugh.
“And my dear I don’t know where you two are going,” replied Dana.
“Wait a minute you were the source mom?”
“Yes I was. And I didn’t lie. I said it would make sense to have the wedding at the church, but I didn’t say it would happen. Also I’m sure anywhere the two of you are together will be hot.”
“Mom,” cried Kat, Nick, and Lissa, before laughing.
“Hey Daddy,” greeted Kat as she hugged Brian.
