During the next month Crystal and Nick spent alot of time together grieving and crying over the loss of their daughter Izabelle. The others felt horrible for them, Courtney called Crystal everyday to see how she was holding up. It always sounded like she was never going to recouperate from the loss. Nick and Crystal stayed home for a while till they were ready to come and vist Izabelle's grave and finally speak out their last true goodbye. When that day came Crystal and Nick drove out to the graveyard, with the others accomapanying them; Nick and Crystal held some bouquet of flowers and placed them all over Izabelle's tomb.

The others waited behind Nick and Crystal who were getting ready to say good bye to Izabelle. The rest of the group held hands and held back their tears, they all had to be strong for Nick and Crystal, if they didn't Crystal and Nick would prolly not be able to say their final goodbye to Izabelle.

Small tears fell from Nick and Crystal's eyes their eyes wet and dark, it was full of sadness and so much sorrow. Nick had to be strong for Crystal who looked like she couldn't say goodbye to her little girl. Nick was the first to speak. "Hey sweetie, you know I'm never going to forget you ever no matter what if your not in my arms; I love you very much..I'm sure that God will protect you and let you see how your family is holding up without you" said Nick. As Nick was saying these words Courtney began getting upset; she couldn't hold back her tears. She grabbed AJ's hand and placed her face on his chest.

"Honey it's okay we have to be strong for Nick and Crystal, if you cry then they will be sad all over again and it would be unbearable for them let go" said AJ, "I know AJ I just can't stand to see Crystal and Nick go through so much...the two of them have gone through so much; no way in the world will they be able to let go" said Courtney between tears. AJ wrapped his arms around Courtney and kissed her to calm her from crying.

Nick then continued his speech. "Izabelle you will always be in my heart and you will never be forgotten because not only were you the youngest but you were the little angel that your mother gave to me...goodbye Izabelle I'm gonna miss you" said Nick wipping some of his tears. Crystal then walked up to Izabelle's grave; she looked at the grave. She was a quiet for a minute; then she placed a hand on her head and began crying.

"Nick I can't do this..it's too hard she didn't deserve to die...she has to come back...she just has to come back to us...it's not fair, she didn't deserve this at all" said Crystal in between tears. Nick quickly grabbed his wife and rocked her back and forth and stroked her.

"Shhh baby I know how you feel but we can't keep living like this...I miss her too Crystal but if we keep up like this then something could happen to one of us and I would die if anything happened to you...I love you....but now our daugter is an Angel, just like she was when she was born....but we can't bring her back....she's up in Heaven for the rest of her days and she will be in our dreams every night...alright...Crystal it's okay" said Nick trying to hold back his tears that were forming from his blue eyes.

"Okay......................." said Crystal as she took out a piece of paper and began to read it.

MY LITTLEST ANGEL

I sing for the love that we shared

I sing for your spirit inside of me

Life deep inside me was safe and secure, but your body was weak and your soul deserved more

I sing for the time that we had but I know you are resting in total peace

Someday I'll hold you but until then,

I know that you're safe and your soul is at ease.

Love, Mommy

Crystal then looked up at Nick and said "It's so hard to say good bye to her" said Crystal

"I know, but she's not even gone ya know..she's always with us" said Nick

"Yeah.." said Crystal. She then took Nick's hand and they began walking away from Izabelle's tomb and out to the parking lot.

The others were right behind them. For the rest of the day the gang decided to try and get their minds off of sadness and hang with their children. So everyone went to the amusement park.

Courtney and Crystal left the babies in the care of their mother-in-laws. Denise and Jane were more than happy to watch over their new grandchildren.

When Nick dropped off the boys Jane looked at her son and gave him a face of sympathy. Nick nodded his head and then walked out to the car and drove off to meet the others down at the park.

When he arrived at the park there were the others waiting for him at the main entrance. So many people were at the park leaving and coming in. Crystal and Nick decided to take this day easy and not do too much this day.

They just wanted to be together and hang with their friends. The group rode roller coasters, rode log rides that had a huge drop to it. They even rode the Power Tower; a ride that rose to 200 feet and dropped down. When everyone got off that ride their hair was all over the place, but unfortunately for Nick and Crystal; their hair had gone in their faces and they looked like shaggy dogs. Everyone laughed. Crystal and Nick laugghed alittle bit.

"Hey you guys laughed" said Kevin

"Yeah we did"said Crystal "I guess were trying to move on...it's gonna be hard but we can't be sad all the time and mourn for Izabelle" said Nick

"I agree" said Brian

"Me too" said Leighanne"It's all the for the best and frankly Izabelle would've wanted you guys to be happy and try to live on without her" said Jennifer rubbing Crystal's shoulder. Nick and Crystal smiled and looked at their kids who were at the concession stands with the other group's kids group grabbing all kinds of snacks. AJ and Courtney laughed when their son Lil Alex had grabbed some mustard for his hotdog and squeezed and then it came out and landed in his face.

Later on the gang thought it was going to be a good idea for them to go to the water park and hang out in the water. Of course the gang has a water fight, this made the kids wonder what was wrong with their parents. It seemed as if their parents had gone looney or something. But it didn't matter the gang was having fun and that was the whole point. Unfortuntately when the day was over and the gang had gone home and placed their kids to bed. The gang decided to hang again tomarrow at the mall and then they would let their children spend time with their grandparents. The kids loved the idea of seeing their grandparents. all except for Howie and Jennifer they didn't have any children.

The very next day the gang went off to the mall and did some shopping all day. When the day was half over Courtney saw Kristin shopping at Victoria Secret. As the boys were looking in a sport's shop and the girls were observing some clothing in Old Navy. They didn't notice Courtney leave the store.

"Okay...so you think your can get away with killing my best friend's baby and then try to take Nick from her too well I think not" said Courtney getting pissed as she began walking into Victoria Secret.

Back in Old Navy Crystal and Leighanne were looking at some skirts that looked cute and were on sale. "So what do you think of this one Leighanne?" asked Crystal holding up a skirt that was filled with zebra stripes.

"I like that..ya know that's somethat Court would like too..maybe you should show that to her" said Leighanne

"Good idea..." said Crystal. When Crystal walked behind the other side of the shelf where Courtney was supposed to be she didn't see her.

"Hey Jen wasn't Court just right there?" asked Crystal.

"Yeah she was but I don't see her now" said Jennifer "Hmm that's odd, she wouldn't just leave without telling one of us" said Crystal "You know Court..she prolly went over to the sport's store to grab AJ for one of the lip locking making out thing" said Jennifer laughing.

"Maybe so Jen but I'm gonna try to find her, can you tell Leighanne too if she sees Court tell me" said Crystal "Sure will" said Jennifer.

"Thanks" said Crystal. Crystal then looking at around the store searching for Courtney, when she couldn't find her she decided to go over to the sport's place to ask AJ if he has seen Courtney. When AJ told her no; Crystal began to worry alittle. The boys decided to help Crystal out.

Meanwhile in Victoria Secret Kristin had seen Courtney come into the store, so she acted as if she was just shopping and hadn't noticed Courtney coming into the store. As Courtney walked into the store she beside Kristin and then began observing some black silky gowns. Kristin then looked up at Courtney and said "Well look who it is Ms. Slut...ya know if AJ that you were really one he'd prolly freak and go back with Sarah..fortunately for her she was alot prettier than you" said Kristin.

"Ya know what back off Bitch, oh there are so many things that I could say to you right in your face like the biggest ones is that your never going to win Nick over, why would he wanna go out with some self-less whore like yourself....because there's one thing that Crys has that you don't" said Courtney

"And what's that?" snapped Kristin "She's got a heart you tramp..I can't believe your still alive...you don't derserve it at all" said Courtney

"oh really ?"said Kristin

"Yeah really...you don't know how hard it is for me to just reach over this rack and kill you with my bare hands" said Courtney

"Ha! right...you know the only thing you could ever do is mourn for who was it Lil Izabelle Carter..she didn't derserve life I did and that's the way it's gonna be" said Kristin.

With those words Courtney leaned forward and punched Kristin out and then before walking out she looked at Kristin and said "If you only you were dead I'm sure things would be alot more better and besides I'm sure Kevin is alot happier with Mary than with you..because at least she has a chance at being a better person" said Courtney.

Kristin then quickly got up slowly and then called out to someone standing the nearby corner. "Oh Zack baby..I need you" called out Kristin. A five-foot nine guy who was 212 pounds in muscle, brown eyes, black hair; came walking out.

"Yeah baby what is it?" asked Zack.

"This little tramp is bothering me" said Kristin

"Oh really now we can't have that can we?" said Zack smirking

"No we can't" said Kristin laughig. Zack grabbed Courtney tightly and said "I don't want any trouble from little people like you....I would kill you but I think my beautiful girlfriend has a better thing for you" said Zack.

"Let me go now..." said Courtney beginning to shake alittle bit. Kristin walked up to Courtney and said "I don't think so,your my bait to get Crystal over here so I thank you for finding me here in Victoria Secret, now call your boyfriend" said Kristin

"No! I'm not bringing AJ and the others in this.." said Courtney

"Do it Courtney! NOW!!!" yelled Kristin. Zack squeezed Courtney's arm even tightly. Courtney yelled out in pain "AJ Help me!!!!".

Fortunately for the rest of the gang especially AJ heard Courtney's cry for help. They hurried off to Victoria Secret and found Kristin and Zack holding Courtney.

"Let her go!" said AJ

"Well if you trade her for Nick I will" said Kristin.

Crystal then thought for a moment and whispered something to Nick. Nick was going to act like he was leaving Crystal for Kristin in order to get Courtney out off Zack's grip.

"Alright I'll be there baby" said Nick to Kristin. Kristin began thinking that things were going her way. Crystal began faking crying letting her and Nick's plan go to work.

"Let her go" said Kristin to Zack. Zack then shoved Courtney to the ground. AJ quickly went to his wife and helped her up. The two of them hugging each other deeply, showing their love for each other. As Nick came closer to Kristin he then back away from Kristin, he grabbed Crystal and kissed her with passion.

"What are you doing Nick, your suppose to be with me...plus you Zack darling?!"yelled Kristin

"Well Kristin I'm sorry but Crystal is the best thing that could ever happen to me...she's so much more of a lover then you ever will be" said Nick

"Well you know what Nick..I think it's better because at least you know that your child is dead" said Kristin

"Shutup bitch" said Crystal looking at Kristin with flames in her eyes.

"Yeah whatever..you know I would've liked to see what your little whorish daughter looked like that till the day you had that ugly piece of shit" said Kristin. Crystal lunged at Kristin but Nick stopped he then turned to Kristin and said " What's the matter Kristin can't have your little bodyguard hurt one of us?" asked Nick

"Actually why don't you baby" said Kristin looking at Zack.

"With pleasure" said Zack.

"AJ Take Courtney and the others out of here...especially Courtney she's getting too emotional here" said Nick.

The guys took Courtney and the rest of the gang out of the mall.

"Come on little rich boy..think your so manly come on..or are you gonna let your little bitch protect you ?" said Zack teasing Nick. Nick walked up to Zack and punched him in mouth. Zack fell to the floor with his mouth bleeding. Zack touched his mouth and saq Nick then let Crystal go off and beat the hell out of Kristin.

"Like always Kristin you'll never get my husband no matter what you do...cuz frankly Nick doesn't go after whorish people like you...he never will" said Crystal getting up in Kristin's face.

"Ohh I'm so scared Crystal..." said Kristin sarcastiscally. "You should be because I'm about to kick your stupid mother fucking ass" said Crystal.

"It's showtime" said Kristin

"Your funeral" said Crystal

"Your momma" said Kristin. Crystal then kicked Kristin having her fall to the ground. Kristin got back up and smacked Crystal in the face. Crystal then grabbed Kristin's hair and flipped her over and then tossed her into the air and kicked her in the stomach.

Meanwhile Nick and Zack were really at the fighting. Nick punched Nick in the stomach, while Nick kicked Zack in the face and crotch. Zack then began whincing in pain. Finally before Zack could do anything else Nick punched and kicked him in the back and Zack flew across the room and was gone. Nick then turned to Crystal and said "You okay?" asked Nick

"Yeah I'm fine" said Crystal smiling "..You did good sweetheart...you did kick her ass sunflower" said Nick laughing

"Yeah she looks like shit" said Crystal

"She's more than shit babydoll she's pondscum piece of shit" said Nick. He then took Crystal's hand and then began to walk out of the mall. Soon enough the song I Got You by Nick Carter came on the intercom.

Within the next three months the boys were gonna tour again and finally they wanted to do something that would be in remeberance for Izabelle. So the boys sang the song Butterfly Kisses By Bob Carlise in a acapella form. And this is how the song went :

There's two things I know for sure. As I drop to my knees by her bed at night, She talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.

And I thank God for all the joy in my life, But most of all...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.

Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair. Oh, with all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.

To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

Sweet sixteen today.

She’s looking like her momma a little more every day.

One part woman, the other part girl. To perfume and makeup, from ribbons and curls.

Trying her wings in a great big world. But I remember...

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.

Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.

"You know how much I love you daddy, but if you don’t mind, I’m only going to kiss you on cheek this time.

" With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.

To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precise time. Like the wind, the years go by. Precious butterfly, spread your wings and fly.

She’ll change her name today.

She’ll make a promise, and I’ll give her away.

Standing in the bride room just staring at her.

She asked me what I’m thinking, and I said, "I’m not sure, I just feel like I’m losing my baby girl."

Then she leaned over... and gave me...

Butterfly kisses, with her mama there.

Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair.

"Walk me down the aisle daddy, it’s just about time."

"Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?"

"Daddy don’t cry." With all that I’ve done wrong, I must have done something right.

To deserve a hug every morning, and butterfly kisses.

I couldn’t ask God for more, man, this is what love is.

I know I’ve gotta let her go, but I’ll always remember.

Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...

The entire stadium was completely packed with fans. They went absolutely crazy when the boys sang. And finally the entire gang sang a song a did a small skirt that was by Christina Aguilera. The skirt was showing that all woman can never be held down by any man.

The song they played was called "Can't Hold Us Down". And here is how the song went:

So, what am I not supposed to have an opinion

Should I keep quiet just because I'm a woman Call me a bitch 'cause I speak what's on my mind Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled

The boys dressed in the most stylish clothes; but they had to act really bad. Courtney sang the song and all the other girls acted ther play out while she sang. the fans thought it was good and yet really funny. The boys then performed alot of their songs from their past albums. All fans went nuts when each boy came out to perform.

Fortunately Kristin was arrested and placed into jail for the longest time with JC. Zack was placed in a mental home. For him he thought that Kristin had loved him, but unfortunately she had used him to get Nick.

The gang did grow old together and their kids went to school, college and then got lives all on their own. But that's another story for another time.
