‘Okay so since we’re back together…are you come on tour with me.’ ‘Um sure but how long is your tour still gonna be? I mean I do have my hotel and restaurant to think of.’ ‘Yeah I understand but we only have one show left and then we’re all done and we can come home again.’ ‘Okay then so yeah sure cool I’ll go with you I haven’t seen the guys in ages so it’ll be fun to spend time with them again.’ ‘Yeah I’m sure they’re gonna be ecstatic to see you.’ ‘I hope so.’ Nick pulled Nerine closer to him and the two lay there both glad that things were back to the old days.

Nick and Nerine walked into the green room at the arena in Chicago where the guys would be performing that night. When the rest of the guys saw her they all looked shocked, except for A.J. ‘Guys we have something to announce.’ ‘Yeah you can say that again Nick.’ ‘Rok do you mind?’ ‘No sorry go ahead.’

‘Well see what happened is that Nerine and I broke up about like 2 months ago and well that’s when I went through that impossible stage…’ ‘So that’s what the hell was wrong with you.’ ‘Rok!’ ‘Okay sorry.’ ‘Anyways so then two nights ago I phoned her and we made up yesterday.’

Nick walked over to Nerine, where she was standing next to Alex and took her hand. ‘We’re expecting the first Carter baby in like a month or two and we’re getting married.’ ‘Wow how come you only telling us all this now.’ ‘Well Kev, I didn’t know exactly how to say this all I mean how was it gonna sound listen guys I’m becoming a dad but Nerine and I just broke up…sounds wacked man.’ ‘Yeah okay well congrads you two I hope you have all the happiness in the world. I also hope that baby doesn’t turn out like Nick.’

Nerine started laughing as Nick glared at Howie ‘Thanks D. really nice of you.’ ‘Pleasure Nicky.’ ‘Please D. if my kid hears me called by that name he’s gonna think he’s dad’s a puff so quit it already.’ ‘Okay sorry Nicky.’ Howie flashed him a brilliant smile then made a mad dash for the door before Nick caught him. ‘Get back here D.’ ‘No sorry no comprendo.’ ‘Ahh you Spanish dickhead.’

Nick walked back into the room to see the guys all talking to Nerine, he smiled to himself and thanked God once again for her being back in his life. He walked up behind her and slid his arms around her waist. ‘So you two when’s the wedding?’ ‘Only after the baby comes. We wanna have it some time in January.’ ‘Oh and when’s the baby due?’

‘On the 14th of April, and no we don’t know the sex of the baby yet…hopefully we’ll find that out tomorrow.’ ‘Well at least this is the last show for the tour so you guys have some time to get sorted out and geared up before the baby comes.’ ‘Yeah, we still have to move all our things. Well actually more like buy an entire new house.’ ‘Nick what’s she talking about?’

‘Well Alex we decided that we wanna start new with everything so I put my house in the market and I already have someone that’s interested and Nerine is moving out of her apartment. We bought a house that we both love it’s like on the beach and we’re the first owners so that’s pretty cool. So we still have to buy furniture for the house and all the stuff…as in everything we don’t have zip we just had enough time to sign the contract and then we had to get back on a plane to get here on time.’ ‘So where’s the house?’ ‘In Tampa you idiot where else?’ ‘Just checking. Well we better get dressed and everything we’re up in 20 minutes.’ ‘Yeah okay dad going dad.’ ‘Shove it where the sun don’t shine Carter.’ ‘Woohoo touchy Kev.’
