[Christina]

Not that much sense probably in this one either lol
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 1

"how could you Jack?!" I was shouting with tears falling down on my eyes.
"I am sorry, okay. It didn't mean anything. I swear. I love you, Christina."
"Oh really? Why did you slept with my best friend? Why did you lied to me?" I asked
meanwhile when I was packing all of my stuffs.
"Please, just listen to me. Let me explain" he begged.
"NO! I had enough of you and your lies. Thats it. Leave me alone Jack. Its over."
I replied and headed out of the door.

Half an hour later:

I decided to stay in for while with my 2 best friends Shane and Jenny.
Untill I will find some place to stay on my own.

"How did it go hun?. Are you okay?" Jenny asked.
"Yeah I think I am. Hmmm... Is Shane here?"
"No, he went out with other lads and their girlfriends." She explained.
"Ah good. Because I dont wanna Shay hear our conversation yet, as we both know what he thinks about Jack.
And he probably would go there and hit him on the face, if he know Jack cheated on me." I added and dried my eyes.
"Babe, he is acting that way towards you and him, because he cares about you. In a way you could never know." '
"What do you mean, Jen?" Are you saying he his having feelings for me? I asked shocked.
"Err... So what would you like to do? How about shopping, to get you over Jack?" She asked quickly, for not letting me know the truth.
Not just yet...

Meanwhile @ the bup:

"Shane? Shane mate, whats wrong with you, man?" Nicky asked.
"Hah? Oh nothing, I am fine. Just thinking." he replied
"Yeah... Thinking a girl you can't get." Nicky filled the rest.
"Easy for you to say, Ki. You already have a woman of your dreams.
"Chill out guys, just leave man to be." Mark added.
"Thanks Mike."
"No problem, Shay mate."
"So what you're gonna do then?" Kian asked.
"Nothing, there is nothing I can do. She has a boyfriend and she obviously doesnt feel the same way than I do." Shay said sadly.
"You can't be..." Mark was saying untill he was disturbed by Nicky.

"Hey isn't that Jack? Over there with that blond?"
"No... he can't be. He wouldnt cheat on Chris. Would he?!" Mark asked carefuly trying to see Shay's reaction.
"What the **** is he think he is doing?" Shane yelled.
"Shay, just leave it. He doesnt deserve that." Kian added before Shane was almost running to hit him

Chapter 2

Later at the midnight...
BANG!
"what the hell? Shay mate your okay mate?" Jenny asked.
"What do you think... I could kill him." He yelled trought gritteth teeth, not even realizing I was there.
"gosh, what's wrong with Jack... Having an affair and hurding my best friend...How could h..." he went on and on.
when suddenly...
"oh my god. I am such an idiot, I didnt see you baby. I am so sorry. Are you okay?" He asked me with concern, but obviously sounded angry.
All that what he said brought everything come back to me again and again million tears started to fall down.

"No, I am not." I replied back.
"I am just so lost, upset, angry and I feel so shamed and also betrayed." I continued.
"hey hey, he isnt worth of your tears, you know. You deserve more than that.
Why can't I just kiss you and tell you what I have kept from you all these years?
"Come here baby, let me give you a hug" he smiled and gave his comfort.
In his arms I knew I was saved and nothing would ever hurt me.
"Thanks, don't know what I would do without you." I added with my pretty smiles.
"Anyway Shay mate, do you mind if I will go have a shower and then to meet Sally?" I continued when I let go of him.
"no no, of course not."

Meanwhile...

"Thanks for the lovely evening hun." Sally said to Nicky.
"Thanks for coming with me" he answered between kisses.
"How about going for walk to beach and then heading back home?" she added before Nicky gave her passionate kiss.
"yeah sure thats sounds very tempting... But that..." he was saying untill they got interrupted.
"hey babe, whats up?" Sally asked through the phone.
"Yeah sure, meet me at Hazelwoods, we could go for a walk there or have a lunch or whatever." she replied back.

"sorry baby, it was Christina. She needs a talk, friendly but sister-talk. I'll call you later." Sally added and kissed Nicky one last
time before heading back to meet her best friend.

After in 15 minutes later.

"hey... Thanks for coming." I replied little happier when I saw Sally enter.
"No problem chick, so whats up?"
"I... I... Jack and I aren't together anymore. He... he kind cheated on me, with Maria." I stadderd but kept my voice normal.
"WHAT?! HE DID...?!" She almost yelled.
Then... just told her whole story...untill we came to "Shane" topic.
"you know... when he hugged me... I felt different. It didnt feel as a friendly hug..." I explained looking through her eyes.
"I think I have an idea what it was..."
"Love..." she replied with a smile.

[Christina]

Chapter 3

"love?... No there is no way he would feel the same way?. Could he?" I asked for not being sure.
"sure it is. I have seen how he is looking and acting around you." Sally explained and took a sip of her drink.
"you must be wrong Sally. He is my best friend and he wouldnt look at me twice." I added back.
"if you only knew what I have come up with... Sally though in her own head.
"Sorry hun, but I need to go. Other things to take care of and I need to think how to make up for Nicky." she went on.
"Okay, tell Nicky my love too. And let's see soon." I replied back with a smile.
After Sally left, she took her phone off and called Shane.

Back at the Filan mansion.

"Shane on the phone... Hi Sally, whats up?"
"Are you sure?" he asked.
"Alright, thanks for telling me. And dont worry I will take it easy with her.
I really want it to work out with you." and he smiled.

"Shay, your manager just called. "
Jenny, said when she came out from kitchen.
"He said that you lads needs to be tomorrow at Hilton hotel by 2pm."
"okay thanks for telling, girl" He answered with his biggest smile ever.
"Whats got into you? You are smiling so brightly." she continued.
"Oh nothing much... Just heard something awesome about Chris. Of course will take things slowly from now on, but
it's just so great. I have waited to hear that years." He went on and on.

"Anyway, I am off to meet Jared. See you later. And make sure Christina will be fine aswell." She added quickly
before heading out of the door even not letting Shane say anything.

Meanwhile @ Hazelwoods

I was walking back home when suddenly I heard voices behind me.
"Christina! CHRISTINA! Wait up will you?"
I swear I knew that voice, even if it wasnt that clear from that far.
Before I even noticed it, that guy got to me and made turn around.
"Jack...! What do you want? Just leave me alone!" I said and started to walk off.
"Babe, just listen to me. Okay. I love you. Can't you see that?" He almost begged.
"No I dont. How can I even strust you?. Now let go of me." I shouted back and just tried to pull my arm off.
But Jack being too strong kept his firm gript. "No! I wont. Not untill you have listened what I had to say."
I thanked god nothing bad happened, when I swear he was almost about to to hit me on the face when suddenly heard voices..

"HEY! LEAVE THAT GIRL ALONE!" Voice was coming louder and guy nearer.
"You stay out of this." Jack shouted back.
"This is nothing to do with you, this is only between me and my girlfriend."
"I am not your girlfriend, and let me go!"
"you shut up pregnant dog..."
Untill I noticed what was going around me, I was pushed to the ground and those 2
guys fighting with each other. When I got better look at the stranger, I noticed it was Barry, 1 of Shane's mates brother.

"Look what you did to her." Barry shouted and pushed Jack off.
Lift me up and started to carry me home.
"You stay away from her. You understoond!" was the last thing I heard Barry to say.

Chapter 4

Next day at the studios

"Oh come on Lu, thats not fair." Mark said out loud with gritteth teeth.
"You can't just expect us to start to plan 10 extra perfomances for our tour, when
we need to promote our album aswell. "
"Just give us a break..."
"Nicky and Kian, thats enough. I have made up by mind. And that it."
"You better get used to it. Shane, are ya even listening?" Louise said.
"Don't mind him Lu. He has some girly-issues, so he cant really concetrate that easily." Kian said with girly voice.
Which caused other lads to burst into laughters.
"with who?." Lu demanded to know.
"err...Christina." Nicky said quitly, looking to his own hands.
"Chris...? My Chris...?" Lu added, clearly shocked.
"He's not serious? Shane, is this true?"
"Yes it is. I have feelings for your daughter." And...before you say
anything, I know exactly where I am getting myself into. Even if you said I need
to get over her, you can forget that. I would never do that. So dont even said it." Shane replied
back very firmly, looking straght into Louise's eyes.
Louise was about to say something when they was interrupted again.

The girls, Sally, Christina, Amanda and Caitlin entered.
"What you are girls doing here?" all of the lads asked happily.
"Just though to ask you for lunch, but then we though you might be busy so
brough you some lunch here." Caitlin replied back, while going to Kian to give a kiss.
"Or do you think they could have a break, daddy?" Chris asked.
"No, absolutely not. We have tight schedule." he replied back.
"But they can eat their lunch's here. No problem."
"So I'll leave you to it." and he left for while.

When lads were eating they were just chatting...
when Aamanda noticed how Shane was staring at me.
"Hey Shane, can I have a word with you.?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah sure."

"Whats up Aman?" he asked.
When they were enough far for others not to hear.
"Just tell her mate. Yes, I know she just broke it off with Jack.
But she needs you as a friend, and later as boyfriend." Amanda exlained with a smile.
"How can I?"
"Course you can. Just ask her to go aside and tell her. Also tell her you want to take steps slowly and give her time."
"But make sure, you'll tell her everything and also let her know you want her to think about things through first."
"Fine, I'll do it. Thanks Aman." he replied and looked me again.

"Break's gone. Back to work lads." Louise said after being back.
"So, what's we gonna do then?" Mark asked.
"Well, I got you a song to record. I want you to listen to it, and then give your option."
After couple of minutes...
"Kian, what do you think of it?
" I liked it. It's lovely. " he replied.
"Yeah I am into that too"
"and me" Mark and Nicky said same time.
"And you, Shay?"
"I think it's... I gotta go. Sorry." He replied not even looking their eyes.
He got up and left.

Hey Chris, can I have a word with you please?

"Yeah sure."
"Hmm... sit down hun. This isn't going to be easy, what I had to tell you."
"Yes you might not say the same, but hey... at least I tried." he said with tiny laugh.
"Tried what? What do you mean...?" I asked, not understanding anything.
He took my hand in his, looked straight to my eyes, took deep breath and said it.
"These last 25 years I have felt something towards you, what I never told anybody untill recently." he started.
"What..." I asked back.
"I am... I am very deeply in love with you. I was when we were just kids and still am. Everytime I saw you with someone else, my heart broke
into million peaces, because I always wanted to be that guy to you. To be your boyfriend. The one. "
I just couldn't believe it, I was schocked. At first I wasn't even sure of my feelings, but when I was listening him I knew Sally was right.
I did feel love when we hugged, and I must say something back.
"I understand if you dont feel the same... I just..." he moaned, tears falling freely.
"Shane..."
He looked up...
"I love you too. Always have, always will." I smiled back.
before it was over, he wrapped his arms around me and gave so tense, but passionate kiss.

[Christina]

Chapter 5

after our kiss, we pulled off from each other. Took some deep breaths and looked at each other with smiles...
"wow" we both said same time
"that was awesome" Shay replied.
"you are good kisser" I added.
"Chris... I ment every word I said. And lets go slowly, that slow as you want."
"Thanks hun. For everything."
"Anyway, I think you should go back, before daddy will shout at you!" I continued.
"Yeah you are probably right babe. Well wait for me, here?" he asked little hope in his heart
"Of course I will." and gave him big kiss before watching him walking off.

I couldn't believe it, I just got kissed by most gorgeous guy ever.
And he felt the same way, and all these years. I just couldnt stop smiling.
I was definately in love and probably in 10th heaven.
"hey girl, you seem to be happy." Caitlin asked from me.
"Yeah I am. Am happiest woman."
"Thanks to that guy there..."
and we all laughed meanwhile watching lads working on their songs.


3 hours later all the lads were ready with their works and Louise let them go.
And we all just decided to go out for some clubbing. Yeah, boys wanted to celebrate so many things.
Like, Shane and I getting together, Mark and Amanda having their first child on the way. And of course, finally
getting Sally settled in at Nickys.

"hehe, I still can't forget that first time when you asked Sally to move in with you, Nico" Shane said laughing.
"hey! Some respect, Sally is my friend and my girlfriend." Nicky replied back pretending to be offended
"Exactly. Mr." and I slapped playfully him on the arm
"young lady, you are so gonna pay for that" Shane added back and gave me some tickles and kisses.
"but... seriously, but it was just hilarious. I mean how she reacted. "

Flashback
It was at Christmas time of year 2006. When all the lads and girls were celebrating New Year @ MBG building
when Nicky had something to tell rest of us.
"listen up all..." he started.
"I have something to say, well its more likely for Sally, but just in case something happens you
can stop it from happening. " He explained and looked every guest was present.
then he walked slowly to us: Me, Shane and Sally. He took her hand and looked straight into her eyes.
"Sally babe, I know we haven't been together for long time yet but I have very strong feelings for you girl.
And I couldn't be without you, not even one second. If I was away for weeks, I would miss you nights and days. So
thats why I wanna ask you, would you move in with me?" he asked carefuly.
and then it happened... She just tried to get some words out, but couldnt. Sally was too shock to speak.
So after few seconds of gatering herself she took her stuffs and left.

It happened 2 or 3 times, when Nicky gave up and just started to wait for her.
When one day (3 months ago), he just brought every of stuffs to his house with others lads.
Of course Sally wasn't around back then, so when she got back home she really thought she was robbed.
But then she noticed small note at the floor it said:

For Sally...

- Hey babe. I am sorry for this. You might think
you are being robbed, but the truth is you haven't.
3 days ago when you were away I moved all your stuffs with other lads help
to my house. It was the only way to get you move in with me. I was going to ask you 4rth time
before you left, but then I got this idea. I hope you dont hate me. *wink*
So here is the key for your new house. But if you dont want to do this, then I understand.
I just want you to know, I did it only because I want to spent rest of my life with you baby.
And nobody elses. I miss you and I will be waiting you @ Hazelwoods.
Love, Nicky xxx

Chapter 6

Back to present

And we just kept talking about everything, lads going away for tour and all. When Nicky interrupted us again.
"Anyway, I think I will take my beautiful girl to dance." Nicky said, stood up and took Sally's hand and went off to dance floor.
Let's go dance too other girls chorused together, as other boys refused to go they went alone. Well mostly Caitlin and I, Amanda just came along.

"What happened with you two back @ studio anyway?" Mark asked Shane after they were alone with Kian.
"Oh... nothing much." Shane replied pretending there was nothing to tell.
"Come on mate, anyone can see how you two are snogged each other whole night" Kian added and took sip of his lager.
"So... What happened?" Mark and Kian asked same time what made
Shane to start laughing and smile his biggest-smile-you-can't-refuse.

After some hours later

"I think we should hit home." Sally said after all of them were quit drunk.
"Yeah you're probably right." Amanda added back.
"Wanna come home with me babe?" Shane asked from me when we were waiting taxis outside.
"Hmmm... that sounds tempting, but I dont know" I said with smile
"Well I think I need to convince you somehow then, huh?" he answered with a kiss.

Few minutes later we just said goodbyes and left back home.
And promised to see each other before we have to say goodbyes to our boys for going away for 2 months.

Chapter 7

A week later, the tour day
@ the airport

"No... don't go. I am gonna miss you" Sally said with tears falling down slowly.
"I don't wanna go either baby, but you know when Louise says you have to do it. Two months will go by fast. I promise" Nicky replied little sad
"You promise?"
"I promise. With crossed my heart. Now give me a kiss"

Meanwhile with others

"Hey girls it's on you now, make sure Amanda is resting and not working." Mark told girls while giving each one of us hugs and kisses to cheecks.
"We promise Mike, don't you worry about it." Caitlin nodded
"Good thing. That goes all of you."
"Yeah yeah, we love you too Kian"
and they all laughed a tiny pit.

"Why cant you just stay?" I asked sadly from Shane.
"I don't know, why don't ya ask your daddy?" he added with a laugh, laugh of sadness and happiness of all together.
"SHANE...! and rest of you. Thats enough. Leave your girls now, we need to go. Our plane isn't waiting forever." Louise shouted from gate.

"we'll try to get you flying tickets soon as possible." Mark said.
"and don't worry, everything will go fine. We will see each other sooner as you think." Nicky added quickly, before giving long passionate kiss to Sally.
"Yeah, Nicky's right. We'll call all of you every day." Kian was saying untill he started to cry too...

You'll be in our dreams, untill we meet again...

Then we just watched them to walk off. But we knew this wasnt end, they were just leaving to work after all. Still we all knew it was sad, but we would meet our boys again.

[Christina]

Chapter 8

It has been 7 and half weeks since lads left. It has been maniac with the tour, but concerts had been succeesfull and they have had so much fun.
But deep down of their hearts they missed back home, back to arms of their lovers and familys. They was so relieved they could go home after 3 weeks untill they heard something they never though they could hear.

"WHAT?!" they all yelled an unison
"So what are you meaning?" Kian asked still shocked with the news
"We haven't even made a joke with the band. We have no intension to splitting up." Mark explained
"Yeah. We love doing this. We wouldn't never want to split up. Not like this." Shane and Nicky chorused together still trying to take the news in

After couple of hours of disgussing about "the rumours" lads decided to go back to hotel and have some rest, meanwhile Louise started to see what to do with that "rumour".

Next Day

"Nicky, that's awesome!" Shane said happily while hugging his mate
"So how are you gonna do that?" Mark asked next
"Gonna do what?" Louise asked when he suddenly appeared somewhere.
"He's gonna propose to Sally tomorrow night." Kian added.
"I don't think thats such a good idea, I mean now that this rumour is going around." Louise explained.
"You can't be serious?!"
"Band "splitting up" isn't nothing to do with this." they said
"So whatever you say, we will do just opposite."

"So do you really think this is good idea, I mean proposing to her this way?" Nicky asked suddenly, when Louise left.
"Are you nuts? Of course it is."
"You are going to spent the rest of your life with your woman." Shane replied back.

Meanwhile in Ireland

The girls where just shopping, bying baby clothes for girls. Amanda's tummy was growing so fast, and they were searching a way to help Sally to tell Nicky about the "problem"
"So how are you going to tell him, Sal?" Caitlin asked
"Don't know, maybe just through the phone even though it's ugliest thing to do it, but I don't think we are able to see them @ their concert or anything." She said little sad.
wish she knew whats lads where up to. Luckily only I knew about it for start.

[Christina]

Chapter 9

The night when slowly for the boys, especially for Nicky.
He couldnt sleep or eat. He became too nervous just even thinking about the specific question: "Sally, will you marry me? And make me the happiest man on earth?"

Back to the girls

The clock was coming near 8.00 pm at evening and girls were just having girls night out @ Nickys. When suddenly their doorbell rang.

"Hey Sal, would you go open the door? This is your house after all?" Amanda said lilttle suspiciouns
"OH MY GOD!" Sally yelled after few seconds
"Hey baby. Though to surprise you." Nicky replied sweetly and gave passionate kiss
"What... ar-e y-ou... I mean... *come on girl, just deep breath in and out she though herself before speaking* What are you doing here? Gosh I missed you so much." she answered finally coming back to earth.
"I am here, because I need to ask you something..." he added back and took her hand, they went out.

Little did she knew while they were coming home from the airport, Nicky called to girls and few other friends to make sure their backyard was ready. And surprisingly it was. When they came outside, Sally's eyes almost dropped, she was too shocked to speak.

"Nicky... I don't know what to say. This is just too beautiful" she said with a smile and tears freely falling down
"Come, take my hand..."
after awhile...
"Sally, we have known each other for years and I know I love you. You are the one for me, and I wanna be with you. So that's why I need to ask you this: Sally will you marry me?"
"I don't know what to say... Can I think about this, and give you an answer tomorrow because I need to tell you something first." She said, looked through his eyes little sadly.
"Of course hunni, you can tell me anything. You know that."

And she told what her boss had told her. The decision she can't make, because she can't leave him behind. The decision, what would make things harder or ruin everything between them.

[Christina]

Chapter 10

"So what are you gonna do?" Nicky asked after couple of silence.
"I don't know. I wanna get married with you, but this is my chance to do something I have dreamed for whole of my life." she explained.
"Well, if you want to take that job I'll go with you." Nicky replied back, while looking through her eyes.
"No, I can't ask you to do that. You have all your family and friends here." she started to say but was interrupted by a kiss.
"Yes, but you are my family now. Whenever and wherever you go, I'll go. That's how it goes from now on baby. Get used to it."
"You're so sweet. Then it's a huge YES! Yes I'll marry you." she said while starting to cry with happiness.
"Great. You just made me happiest man on earth"
and they kissed few minutes and then went to tell others even though they already knew.

A hour later all the girls left to meet other boys, and spent some time alone so Sally and Nicky also. Neither of them still couldnt believe it first, but they needed still to think the way to tell others about Sally's propotion at work, and they moving with it.

"I missed you hun." Shane said.
"Aaawww... I missed you too baby."
"So where are you taking me?" I asked after for while.
"It's a surprise. You just wait and see. Yes I know you dont like surprises, but you just have to get used to that girl. Cos from now on I will spoil my girl." he replied with a kiss and one of his smiles.
"Oh my... I can't believe you... How... ?" I was shocked to see what he had done, where he actually brought me.
"Though you love this, but we will eat our desserts @ the speach."

Whole night was just too beautiful, I couldnt believe it was happening.
I knew from that moment, I want to spent rest of my life with him.
Suddenly he interrupted my thought saying: "You know... How much I love you, don't you?"
"Yes of course I know. I love you too, Shane. And always will"'

[Christina]

Chapter 11

Its been 3 months since Nicky's proposition and everything else, and it was finally their wedding day. Both of them were so nervous, but excited and happy at the same time.

"I can't believe I will be Mrs. Byrne at this time of the day tomorrow." Sally beamed happily. While looking herself through the mirror.
"You look so beautiful baby. Nicky will be probably die there" I replied back.
"Thank you again. You don't know how much it's means to me, for you accepting as being of my maid of honour, hun." Sally added and gave me a quick hug, when all of sudden there was a knock at the door.
"You girls ready, it's time" Kian said after looking through the door.
"Yeah we are. Lets get you married." I said and kept door open for her.

A ceremony was so beautiful and everyone was crying for happiness. Especially, all the girls and other womans. Of course some of the guys cried too, Nicky was one of them. Then the came the part everyone waited to their says: "I do's" and kisses. After couple hours wedding's reception was over aswell and new-wedding couple left for honeymoon, to Teneriffe.

I and Shane were dancing when he suddenly said something...
"You know, I can't wait to see you in that dress. For you to become my wife, a mother of my child." he said and looked to my eyes.
"Yeah I know, sweety. Me either" I replied and we kissed.

Epilogue

4 years later

"come on push, baby. You can do this." Shane told me while I was giving birth to our twins.
"Just one 1 more push Mrs. Filan. You can do this." Our doctor told couragilly.
Before we even noticed we heard baby's crying. Doctor handed the twins for us. And said "Here you go. Welcome your 2 baby boys."
"You did it babe." Shane replied with a kiss and biggest smile ever.
"Aren't they beautiful." I asked while just staring at my sons.
"So, what do you wanna name them?" he asked next.
"How about Sammy and Dean Filan?"
"I like them. Lets take those one."
