Wait and see wait and see.
Keith stands up and crosses his arms, "You told me you loved Ireland and that it was a magical place to be. Was that a lie?" Amanda just sat there. Keith looks down at her, "Well was it?! ANSWER ME!!" Jeff stands up, but before he can do anything I turn Keith around to face me, "KEITH RICHARD HARKIN. DON'T YOU EVER YELL AT MY NIECE AGAIN." Keith rears back and gives me a dirty look, "And don't look at me in that tone of voice either. Now I'm sure there's away to make a compromise with out the yelling and screaming. How about you guys live six months in Ireland and six months here? I mean shoot you spend most of your time touring any way, so what's the big deal?" Keith let's out a sigh, "The big deal is that Ireland is my home." I look at Keith, "And America is Amanda's home, and you can't expect her to give it all up. Just like she can't expect you give Ireland up." Keith let's out another sigh, "I'm sorry I guess I forgot all about that. You're right." I smile at Keith and give him a hug, "I'm sorry I yelled at you like that, but I can't stand to see my niece hurt." Keith looks at me and then down at Amanda, "I'm sorry luv I didn't mean to hurt you." Amanda stands up, "That's alright. I still love you." Keith gives her a kiss that makes my niece's knees buckle.

I knew you'd like it CB. I am going to skip ahead to where hubby and I are at work. Hubby and I came back to work refreshed and rested, but unfortunately for us we came back to a boat load of problems. Every computer and dynamap I tried to use was useless, and I so wanted to kill my co-workers. Ed had the same problems. The only thing that kept us going was the fact that my Niece was getting married. Even when my co-workers were being butt heads I smiled at the fact that Keith Harkin was going to be my Nephew, or at least I thought he was. It was a month into my Niece's engagement, and I came home one night form work to find an e-mail on my computer. It was from my Niece:
Dear Heather, I broke up with Keith last night.
Love, Amanda
I had to look at it again. There was no explanation of why or what happened, so I ripped out an e-mail to her:
Dear Amanda, What happened? Did he hurt you? If he did... Call me when you get this OK?
Love, Heather I sent out the e-mail and waited for her reply.

Irish guys don't compromise well which is why my two stories I'm working on involve character that were born in Ireland or who were born to an Irish national living abroad. That way when they fall for Neil living in Ireland is OK with them. Moire lives in Ireland and work in Belfast and Dublin so its not a problem, the hardest part is the guys don't do tours in Ireland so she has to make arrangements to see them in Boston when they come to town.

I hear Ireland's Call coming from my cell phone. I look at the phone to see Amanda's name I pick up my cell and hit accept, "Hey Amanda what's wrong?" So she tells me, "Keith was being so stubborn we argued over everything from the Date to the theme of the wedding. It was getting to the point where he was insulting me, so I took off the ring and gave it back to him. Then I told him that if he was going to be like this now what will he be like when we have kids? Then I showed him the door and told him to go back to his precious Ireland." While she was telling me all this I was shaking my head and trying to think of something to say to her, "Amanda do you love him?" Amanda takes a breath, "Heather of course I love him, but that's not enough. He wants everything his way." I sighed, "But so don't you." Amanda starts to get angry, "Who's side are you on?" Then she hangs up.

You're right CB. I give Amanda a couple of days to calm down and think. In the meantime I still work. One day while I'm on my break I decide to make a phone call. After the third ring I hear a male's voice, "Hello?" I answer, "Hi Keith it's Heather. Amanda told me what happened and I wanted to get your side of the story." Keith let's out a sigh and tells me what happened, which us basically what she said, "Your Niece is so stubborn." I take a breath, "Keith I know she's stubborn, but you're just as stubborn as she is." "I am not. You're taking her side because she's your Niece" Then he hangs up and I get back to work.
Two weeks later I get a phone call It's Keith, or so I thought, "Hey Keith." "Heather it's not Keith it's Amanda. We're back together and we went to Vegas to get married."

Hee hee more surprises are in store.
I almost dropped my phone,"YOU DID WHAT?!" Ed looks at me with a concerned, so I wrote down what she told me. Ed looks at me and doesn't look happy, but he writes: Her choice. Not ours. I look at him and nod in agreement. We both weren't happy, but what could we do?, "I'm very happy for you two, but don't you think you should've told the family before you ran off to Vegas?" "Why should we? You guys would've just tried to talk us out of it." I took a breath and let out a sigh, "Amanda you took something away from the family. A chance to see you in your wedding gown, a chance for your Mom to walk you down the aisle, and a chance to have your Grandpa's dance with you at your reception, and all for what? So you could avoid a fight and save money?" Amanda let's out a sigh, "No because I'm PREGNANT." Then she hangs up.

I look at the phone and dropped it in shock. Ed looks at me, "Boo what's wrong?" I look at him with shock in my eyes, "Amanda is pregnant that's why she eloped." Ed looks at me, "Did you just say Amanda is pregnant?" I nodded. We looked at each other and I sat down. The phone ringing broke me from my shock I grabbed it and answered it, "Hello?" It was my Father, "Hi Heather I suppose you got the news?" "Hi Dad yeah she just called us. I guess that means you and Mom will be Great Grandparents." I could hear my Dad chuckle, "You could say that. Do you want to talk to Mom?" I tell him yes, so he hands the phone to my Mom and we talk for a bit. We finish up and I hang up. The phone rings again and this time it's Hope, "Heather what in the world is going on? Did you encourage her to get pregnant and elope?"

"Hope I didn't even know she was pregnant. I also didn't encourage her to elope to Vegas. Hope Amanda is over the age of consent and she can do what ever she wants. If she wanted to get pregnant and elope to Vegas that was HER choice." I listened to Hope sigh, "You're right I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you." "That's Ok Hope I forgive you." "You've been doing that a lot lately forgiving me." I laughed, "Yeah I have." We talked a bit more and then she hung up. I sat and waited for my other sister to call, but that never happened I guess Hope called and told her what I told Hope. Then I told Ed what happened. He didn't sound too happy, but was proud of the fact I stood up to my sister once again. After that I went online to The Celtic Thunder website and clicked on Keith's blog, but when I read it there was no mention of the elopement, nor the fact that he was going to be a father. But I did see that there was a blog that stated he had broken up with his fiance and that was dated today.
