So cute, love how Emmet loves you. Girl we must search far and wide until we find Mr. Emmet Cahill. I feel he would be easy to find since we know one of his loves is the GAA and Croke Park.

Once everyone was ready, they sat and ate dinner. Treena barely touched her food and was still looking ill. Everyone was chatting about the upcoming holiday and how each of the lads asked the ladies to join them and their families for the holiday. Once everyone was done eating the table was cleared and they got ready to go out. Keith stopped everybody at the door. "Guys, uh...okay...Treena and I wanted to share something with you all before we got into the thick of the excitement tonight." He said as he wrapped an arm around Treena's waist. "What's that mate?" Colm asked. "Well, first thing's first ladies.." And Treena's hand shot straight up in the air revealing the sapphire ring she had wanted on the cruise. "OH MY GOD!!!!" Squealed Alyssa, Colleen and Emily in perfect unison, the guys had to cover their ears. "Congratulations mate." Emmet said slapping Keith on the shoulder. "Cheers." Neil and Colm said together. The girls were still grabbing Treena's wrist and squealing about wedding plans until Keith clearing his throat said, "That's not the only thing though you guys." They all stopped and looked at him. "I had been feeling sick the last few days and, went to the doctor today...and turns out...WE'RE PREGNANT! WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BABY!!!" Treena screamed. "WHAT? OH MY GOD!!!" Colleen shrieked. The girls once again were hugging Treena and each other and giggling and chattering. Neil looked at Keith very seriously and said, "Pregnant huh? When did that happen?" "On the cruise most likely the first night." Keith laughed. "Well, cheers to the happy expectant couple then!" Colm said as he hugged Keith. "Thanks man. Okay you hens, let's head out." Keith joked as the girls filed out the door still squealing about the news. _______________________________________________________ *This is short I know I have to break it up a bit.*

The night air was cold, the wind had picked up a bit but it was snowing. The square was quite packed. People were milling about and sharing in the festivities. The group wandered through the crowded streets to find a suitable spot for the tree lighting. When they finally found one they pushed their way through to the front of the crowd. Emmet's hand held onto Emily's tightly as he led her through the maze of people. She felt as though electricity was coursing through her when he touched her still. The girls were still buzzing about the engagement and baby news. "So, what are you going to tell Sharon as to regards to all this mate?" Emmet laughed at Keith. "I...I hadn't really thought about telling her. I mean, of course her feathers will be ruffled over such a quick wedding but, Treena and I wanted to get this done before she started to show...you know...for the sake of keeping things less scandalous." Keith said glancing at Treena who was wrapped up in conversation. "Well mate. Sharon will not be happy when she finds out. Not to mention your mum." Neil said. "Frankly Neil I don't care what Sharon thinks. Yeah, maybe I do when it comes to my career but I am sick of her telling us we can't be seen on dates or with a significant other. These girls were ThunderHeads before they met us and look at what happened there? Their other friends couldn't be happier. Sharon needs to let us live our lives. I don't want to pretend I'm single when I'm so happy!" Keith nearly shouted. He was getting worked up, so Treena had to intervene. "Okay, calm down Keith. It's gonna be alright. Let's get through tonight and tomorrow first." She said patting his back. "Sorry love, I guess this has just been a little much to handle." He sighed. "I know Keith I know. But, this is going to be great. Let's just enjoy tonight." She kissed his cheek and turned back to the girls. The night was so amazing. The girls enjoyed chatting and seeing the lights. The lads hung back a bit giving Keith advice and trying to make him nervous.
When they finally arrived back at the apartment it was nearly 11pm. They had a flight to catch in the morning. So they all decided that Christmas gifts would be exchanged on Christmas instead of before. They were all exhausted so they got packed and ready to depart and climbed into bed and were all asleep instantly. ____________________________________________________________

That morning Emmet awoke to the alarm, he rolled over and reached out for Emily but her side of the bed was empty. It's not that he was truly worried he just wasn't used to her not waking him up before she left the bed. It was still dark and he didn't hear any noise or see any lights on so he shot straight up in bed and looked around. As his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he saw a light down the hallway presumably from the kitchen. So he got up and followed it. Emily and Alyssa were sitting in the kitchen drinking coffee. He caught the tail end of their conversation. "I don't know Alyssa I mean, school was never my favorite thing. I would love to get my masters of course but all that debt. How would I pay for it?" "I feel the same way girl. Colm and I talked about it last night, it's going to take at least three months to just put in the transfer to University Dublin." "Well, hopefully by the end of the holiday we'll have everything figured out. Hi Emmet, I see you over there." Emily said not even looking up from her crossword puzzle. "Eagle eye, didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just, wasn't sure where you had gone to." He said crossing the room to her. "Sorry, you were sleeping hard and I didn't have the heart to wake you." She said as he kissed the top of her head, got himself a cup of coffee and sat next to her. "How do you do that?" Emmet said looking over her shoulder. "You're doing the New York Times crossword, in pen...I couldn't ever be so sure of myself." He laughed. "My grandmother used to do this. I guess it just runs in my family." She laughed as she set down her pen. Seconds later, Colm wandered into the kitchen. "There you are. I woke up and you weren't in bed." He said as he himself crossed the room and kissed Alyssa's cheek. "Sorry hon, we were just talking." Alyssa said as Colm got himself a cup of coffee and sat across the table from Emmet. "So mate, you ready for Christmas?" He asked of his friend. "I think so. I have everyone's gifts all wrapped up and ready. Mam found my Christmas sweater. She cannot wait for me to get home." Emmet laughed as he put an arm around Emily. "What about you? You ready?" He asked Colm. "You bet. Can't wait. Mark is so excited. Mam has a list of things she's gonna make me do when I get back." Colm laughed sipping his coffee. "Our mam's can't wait for us to get home. Why? Because they miss us? No, because they want us to help with the housework." Emmet chuckled. The four of them get everything packed and by the door before Neil and Colleen woke up. While they packed, Alyssa shut off the water and made sure everything was taken care of before they left. Once everyone was up they made their way to the airport. ___________________________________________________________
Treena and Keith were flying into Belfast instead of Dublin because it was closer to their new house in Donegal. So they all hugged and parted ways at the terminal. While they were waiting the girls were teasing the boys about giving them personal tours in the snow. On the plane ride over, Emmet was going over just what to expect at the holiday. "So, I know you said you'd think about moving into the flat with me and I was just wondering..." Emmet started. "I decided yes." She said leaning on his arm. "Wow. Great. So, this holiday will be you, me, Colm and Alyssa. For now I think it's cheaper if we all just stay put until that time comes when we can purchase a house." Emmet said as he pushed Emily's hair off her forehead with his lips. "Sounds good to me." She said closing her eyes. They had a six hour flight ahead of them and she wanted to get some sleep. Emmet closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep soon after.

The plane landed in Ireland just under 7 hours later. It was snowing. Everything was white. Emmet nudged Emily awake gently. "Wake up princess. We're home." Emily opened her eyes and stared wide eyed out the window at the place she would hopefully forever be calling home. With citizen papers in hand she crossed the customs and was welcomed into the most beautiful country in the world. Rebecca was there to greet them. Hugs and kisses went around. She was already aware that Colm and Emmet had asked the girls to move in with them. She of course didn't mind. She was still across the hall anyways. The four of them piled into Bex's car, Neil and Colleen had taken a cab back to Neil's flat.
Rebecca drove them through Dublin and as she drove the boys pointed out places they loved to go, restaurants, Colm pointed out the gym he and Rebecca went to. Emmet pointed out his favorite bar in Dublin that had great live bands. Rebecca parked the car on the street in front of a tall off white building. "Well, here it is. Home." Rebecca laughed as they stepped out into the snowy air. Rebecca shuffled Alyssa and Emily towards the door. "Guess we're gettin' the bags then." Colm said shoving Emmet's shoulder. "Guess so." Emmet said as they followed the girls inside arms full of bags. "Okay ladies, this is your new home."Bex said as the lads caught up to them. Emmet pulled a key from his pocket. "It's not fancy or anything, but it's ours." He said opening the door to the dark flat. Colm flipped on the light. There were some boxes on the floor, some marked Emmet, some marked Emily, some marked Colm. Alyssa hadn't really made the decision to make the move permanent just yet. "I'll let you guys get settled. Dinner at my place in about two hours?" Bex said as she looked around. "Sounds good to me." Colm laughed as she left.
"Come on, I've got a surprise for you princess." Emmet said grabbing Emily's hand and leading her down the hall to the back bedroom. He opened the door, and there in the middle of the room; sat Roger. He jumped on her instantly. Emily couldn't help it, she burst into tears and hugged her beloved dog. "Happy Christmas m'lady. I love you." Emmet said kneeling beside her. She threw her arms around his neck. "I love you so much, thank you." She whispered into his ear. "I knew you'd love it. I wasn't going to just leave him behind. Bex brought him with her." "You're amazing. Thank you." She said as he helped her to her feet. Emily took a moment to look around. Her bed was already here, made and everything. All her books, several of what she assumed were Emmet's books. Pictures of them both. It looked like most of her clothes had already been put into the drawers, same with his. Bex has definitely made sure things were pretty put together for them. Emily and Emmet got the master bedroom with an adjoining bathroom.
Colm and Alyssa were unpacking her clothes and putting them into a small dresser in his room. "I was thinking, maybe you could put in a transfer from NYU to University Dublin and maybe finish your degree up here. I could help you, and it'd be easier if you lived here so I wouldn't have to fly to New York and back all the time." Colm said as they started putting some of his things away. "I...uhm...wait....are you asking what I think you're asking?" Alyssa said as she closed the dresser drawer. "Well, I mean Emily is staying here and I know you guys are close and....well it'd be nice to be closer to you than an ocean away..I mean you don't have to..." Colm trailed off. "I...can I think about it?" She said as she crossed the room into his arms. "Yeah...take your time. I don't want to rush you..I just...really like you and I don't want you to really go anywhere I guess." He laughed at himself nervously. "Aw. Well that's so sweet." She said as she kissed him.

Alyssa and Emily were in the kitchen checking out the appliances and the pantry space and chatting while the boys were playing with Roger and updating their professional social media pages. "I think maybe going to school is a pretty good idea. Emmet wants me to take up some classes." "Yeah, Colm said the same thing. I just...I don't know. It seems expensive." "Yeah. I know. I'll have to find out how much it costs. We can go down to admissions tomorrow and talk with someone probably." "Sounds like a good idea. Oh goodness, we should gather the guys and go next door." Alyssa said as they walked out of the kitchen. "Hello gentlemen, it's dinner time." Emily said laughing at Colm who was rolling on the floor with Roger. "Dude, I love your dog." Colm said as he got up. "So do I." Emily laughed.
The four of them walked next door. Bex opened the door and let them in. "Welcome welcome. I have been expecting you." She laughed as she tapped her fingers together. They walked into her flat and Hayley Jo, Rachel, Sophie, Laura, Seana, Nicole, Leah, Candice and Angela were all there to greet the girls. "I should have known." Emmet said shaking his head. "Hello ladies. Come to welcome us home have we?" Colm laughed. "Not you! Them." Laura laughed. The group had a nice dinner and the girls sat around chatting about taking Alyssa and Emily out to explore tomorrow so the boys could get their fan mail from the P.O. boxes and check for the rest of Emily's boxes that had been shipped. "Hon, would you be able to look after Roger if the girls and I went out?" Emily said as she sat on Emmet's lap. "Sure princess. Colm and I have to get things done around the house anyway. Start getting material together for another Celtic Comet chat for the fans. We're overdue." He said as he rested a hand on her knee. "That reminds me you two, Sharon called me. She told me to tell you to call her when you got back. She said it was urgent." Laura said. "Uh oh..." Colm said looking at Emmet whose face drained of color. "I think we're in for it now." He said. "We'll call her in the morning. I bet it's just for rehearsals." Nicole said, even though she knew better. The group talked, drank and were up until the wee hours of the morning. They all passed out in Bex's living room. ____________________________________________
The next morning, around 10AM everybody woke up and made plans to meet back there at noon after everyone had showered, ate, and changed. Emily and Alyssa dug out the coffee maker and coffee mugs Emily had packed. Once coffee was made, Alyssa started making breakfast for the boys while Emily started unpacking her box of things that would go in her and Emmet's music room/office. She set up her keyboard, her desk was already in there and his was as well as his piano; so she set up her computer and stacked the rest of her instruments and equipment in the corner of the room. The boys would do the live chat in that room since they usually did a musical number. "So, you excited to take a tour of Dublin with the girls today?" Emmet said walking up behind her. "You bet." She said turning around. "I have to call Sharon today. She'll probably want to meet with me and Colm as soon as she can. It's either about us doing more songs together, the new album or....." He trailed off. "Or what?" Emily said as she looked at his troubled face. "You and Alyssa. Sharon makes us keep relationships under wraps and we haven't really...done that. So she might be mad." He said as he rubbed his hands over her shoulders. "I'm sure you'll be fine. Not like she'll fire you." Emily laughed nervously. "I doubt she would." He said kissing the top of her head. "Hey sorry to interrupt...but the girls are here. Let's go." Alyssa said popping her head in the room. "Okay. Well, have fun today. Take lots of pictures. I love you." Emmet said as he kissed her. "I love you too. Stay safe from Sharon today." She said as she went out the door with the girls. __________________________________________________
"Man, we're in trouble." Colm said as they got in the car an hour later. Roger was happily sitting in the back seat as they drove through town. They got to Sharon's Dublin office and sat in the parking lot for a good ten minutes. "We just have to remain calm. I'm sure it's nothing." Emmet reassured himself out loud. They got out of the car and walked towards the door.
