this story is the third and final story to my sequel stories the first story is called Ryan's Second Chance and it's in the Ryan section and the second story is in the General CT Stories Section and its called A Celtic Thunder Wedding Story so before you read this story you might wanna go read the other two stories first if you havent already! WARNING: this story may be a bit sad to some of you so viewer discretion is advised! if you beging to feel sad step away for a bit and come back to the story if you can! but if you're up for reading it then... ENJOY! this is UPDATE #1 ____________________________________________________ My heart is heavy, the grief is strong I am saddened we all are, *sigh* Keith passed away yesterday… he was killed in a surfing accident the waves were just… too rough Treena told him not to go out that it’s just too dangerous but he promised he’d be alright, that promise was short lived *sob* oh Keith what will we ever do without you? I remember that phone call from Treena and the moment all the lads, Sharon, Meagan and Treena arrived I can clearly recall every moment of terror and sadness I felt…. It was a windy Saturday morning and a storm was supposed to roll in later today I was used to it its quite typical for Ireland I was washing dishes when the phone rang I turned off the water dried my hands and said “I’ll get it!” I went and grabbed the phone and answered it “hello?...” “hey Alyssa its Treena I just wanted to let you know the lads Meagan and I are coming over…. Sharon will be there soon as well” “ok, Is there… something wrong?” “im afraid so Alyssa… I’ll be there in about a half hour” “ok see you then…” we hung up and I had a gut feeling something was wrong why is it just Treena, the lads and Meagan coming over? Why not Keith too? A half hour later Treena, the lads, and Meagan arrived with Sharon close behind we all sat down and Neil and Ryan sat beside me along with Damian once everyone was seated Treena stood up and said “thank you everyone for being here on such a short notice… I unfortunately have some bad news” Treena started to cry “Keith passed away this morning … he was in a surfing accident… pronounced dead at the hospital they tried to bring him back but it was no use it was too late Keith was a great lad and an amazing husband to me… he will be missed I slapped my hand over my mouth in shock my heart sank and I started to cry “No it can’t be… it just can’t be! Keith…. Oh Keith” there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. The day of the funeral wasn’t any better I couldn’t stop crying… Keith was my best friend, one of the lads that took me in and taught me how to play the guitar… he was like a big brother to me and I was like a second sister to him all the memories came flooding back as I stood in the pouring rain I held his picture and started to cry again his sister Rebecca stood not too far away from me soaked from the pouring rain like me sobbing I barely managed to choke out “Keith…” without sobbing I finally fell to the ground and sobbed continuously and Rebecca knelt beside me and hugged me she cried with me she know how much Keith meant to me the memories ran through my head again the drinking contest, my wedding day when he shed tears of joy for Damian and I, the day the twins were born and he first held them crying tears of happieness because he was a CT Uncle now he even said “I’m finally an uncle!” and last of all every bear hug he gave me. I snapped out of the memory as I began to hear a prayer “our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us of our sins as we forgive those who sin against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen. After the funeral, I wasn’t able to eat not even a morsel of food I felt sick, upset, and befuddled why did this have to happen? Why did Keith go out and Treena told him it wasn’t a good idea? Should I ever go surfing again? What if the same thing happens to me? Colm went to be with Treena so she wouldn’t be alone Sharon was afraid Treena would do something to hurt herself Treena loved Keith with all her heart and now, he’s gone. For days on end I’d walk in the pouring rain and one day I walked the streets of Derry reminiscing and remembering the days Keith took me out to do things I was after all, like a second sister to him. It was another rainy day in Derry which didn’t bother me I have an umbrella with me but I’d rather let the rain fall on me the rain is more or less angel tears the angels are crying for me, crying for Treena, crying for the whole CT family. I stood on the sidewalks of Derry I let tears fall again when a familiar voice said “hey there monkey! Just what do you think you’re doing out In the pouring rain?” it was my mom from Arkansas “Mom!” I jumped up and hugged her and she put her umbrella over us “im glad you’re here I really needed you…Keith… passed away *sob* oh mom why? Why did he have to go surfing? There were other things we could’ve done if he would have just told me he was going Treena tried to tell him not to go” my mom closed her umbrella and held me tight in her arms as the rain poured down on us my phone rang a few minutes later I pulled it out of my pocket “it’s Neil” I answered my phone and Neil and I spoke in Irish Gaelic even though it was a rare language In Ireland nowadays him and I are both fluent in Irish Gaelic though “hello?.... oh hey uncle Neil… sure why not… no I haven’t been able to sleep ever since he passed away… I’m not surprised I don’t think any of us have been able to sleep since Keith passed away… I know it just won’t be the same without him… what? They want me to perform some od Keith’s songs tonight in his memory?... I guess I’ll do it what time tonight?... 22:45 PM?... yeah I’m good I’ll do it! especially since it’s for Keith… alright see you then… ok… love you uncle… ok bye…” “ that was uncle Neil I’ve been asked to perform a memorial gig tonight for Keith at Mckeever’s Pub here in Derry in eleven minutes so I guess we’d better head there now” my mom looked at me and said “not just yet we need to get you spiffied up you’re soaking wet so you need dry clothes come with me we’ll go back to my hostel and get you dried off and ready for tonight.” Meanwhile… “Treena it aint gonna hurt ya’ ta’ go hear Keith’s songs sung by Alyssa.” “Colm darling, I already told ya’ I still can’t get over losing my beloved Keith! He was my love my only true love that I ever had and hearing Alyssa sing his songs I just don’t think I can make it…” she said as she tood another sip of Guinness. “*sigh* alright fine! Listen when you decide you wanna show up to the gig it’s at Mckeever’s Pub I’m sure ye’ know where that’s at.” Colm said as he grabbed his coat “I better get going I promised Alyssa I’d be there early to help setup remember Mckeever’s Pub if you decide to show up” Colm walked out, got into his car and started to drive Treena is alone now she didn’t feel like being in bright light so she lit candles and set them all around the boat house then she went out on the dock where a memorial had been set for Keith. She lit all the candles that friends and family had set then she lit her own candle and set it in front of Keith’s memorial area on the dock and she went and sat down on the edge of the dock she bowed her head “oh Keith these nights used to be so beautiful when you were still with me *sob* oh Keith I feel so alone and so lost without you.” “but you’re not alone I never left you my love Treena, turn around and look” Treena got up and turned around and sure enough there was Keith Treena looked in shock and ran to Keith and stood before him Keith smiled and got closer to Treena and hugged her and kissed her forehead “how can this be? Keith, I thought you were dead” “I am… but in a way I’m not Treena my love I’m the Guardian Angel Of Celtic Thunder now” Treena hugged Keith tightly “Alyssa is lost without you, she really looked up to you honey she’s been telling me she misses her brother her Celtic Thunder brother she’s done nothing but walk in the rain she still hasn’t been able to have closure there’s a memorial gig for you that a bar here in Derry the one you always went to and guess whos singing tonight? “Alyssa and Rebecca” Keith and Treena said at the same time “I know… I heard so what are we waiting for? Let’s go wouldn’t wanna miss it!”

here it is UPDATE #2 is here!
meanwhile at Mckeever’s Pub, “hey Becca, this gig is for the CT family and friends right?” “yeah I think so” “so there’s this song called I miss you…” I said “Miley Cyrus right? Yeah go on” “you think we could sing and dedicate that song to your bro?” Rebecca started to cry I ran over to her and hugged her and she said “of course we can he would have loved to be here to hear us singing together…” after we rehearsed we went off stage for
a few moments and Sharon pulled me aside Treena was with her they smiled and they put Keith’s guitar around my neck and positioned my hands and stood back and Treena’s eyes started to well up with tears I had recently cut my hair like Keith’s so I kinda looked like him Sharon smiled and said “play it for Keith Alyssa…” I nodded as I walked towards the stage Keith looked at Treena and smiled and Treena smiled and nodded back and play Keith’s guitar for Keith I did and after Rebecca and I finished the
main part we went on a ten minute intermission while everyone passed candles around and Rebecca and I grabbed a candle and at the last five minutes of intermission everyone began to light their candles Rebecca and I did the same and I stepped up to the mic and said “at this point I’d like to have a moment of silence for our fellow band member and best friend Keith Harkin” everyone bowed their heads in sadness and in prayer and after the moment of silence I began to strum the strings of the guitar and I said “ Rebecca and I would like to dedicate this song to
Keith Harkin a brother, husband, friend, uncle, godfather, friend and band member” after the dedication Rebecca and I began to sing I Miss You by Miley Cyrus as a slideshow of photos of Keith and all of us and many things that he had done in the past before Celtic Thunder
Alyssa: sha la la la la sha la la la la you used to call me your angel
Rebecca: your angel
Alyssa: said I was sent straight down from heaven you’d hold me close in you’re a-arms
Rebecca: in your arms
Alyssa: I loved the way you felt so strong
Rebecca: felt so strong
Alyssa and Rebecca: I never wanted you to leave I wanted you to stay here holdin’ me I miss you I miss your smile and I still shed a tear every once in a while and even though it’s different now you’re still here somehow my heart won’t let you go and I need you to know I miss you sha la la la la I miss you
Alyssa: you used to call me your dreamer and now I’m livin out my dream oh how I wish you could see everything that’s happenin’ for me
Rebecca: for me
Alyssa and Rebecca: I’m thinkin’ back on the past it’s true that time is flyin’ by too fast I miss you I miss your smile and I still shed a tear every once in a while and even though it’s different now you’re still here somehow my heart wont let you go and I need you to know I miss you sha la la la la I miss you
Alyssa: I know you’re in a better place but I wish I could see your face I know where you need to be
Alyssa and Rebecca: even though it’s not here with me I miss you I miss your smile
Alyssa: and I still shed a tear every once in awhile and even though it’s different now you’re still here somehow my heart wont let you go and I need you to know I miss you
Alyssa and Rebecca: I miss you
I strummed the guitar one last time as the last photo of the slideshow came up, it was a picture of Keith and I on mine and Damian’s wedding day and the subtitle under the photo said Rest In Peace Keith Harkin 10 June 1986- 5 August 2014 you will be missed! There was total silence I let the tears fall for Keith “she looks so upset” Keith said to Treena “she is, like I said
she’s lost without you honey she really looked up to you” everyone blew out their candles as the lights were turned on Rebecca and I did the same and we walked offstage. “Keith would have been proud of us don’t you think Becca?” “yeah *sigh* I miss him so much” “me too, he was a great lad” my mom walked up to the bar where Rebecca and I were sitting “hey sugar this one’s on your momma you two did a great job tonight… three Guinnesses please” “ *sigh* thanks mum” “to the memory of Keith?” Rebecca and I nodded “to the memory of
Keith” we clicked our glasses together “ugh it’s gonna be impossible for me to ever enjoy another Guinness without him” Rebecca said taking a drink of her Guinness I took a drink of my Guinness and said “aye, it’s true I remember when Keith and I had our first Guinness drinking contest that was great craic and when I was sad, he’d always tell me a good joke and give me a hug I even remember Keith and Treena’s wedding day.. oh god not again *sob* I…I…” I jumped down from the bar stool and ran
out the door and I sat on the bench outside and sobbed as I looked at the same picture of Keith and I on mine and Damian’s wedding day a tear fell on the picture “he’s gone… *sniff* and I’ll never see him again if I would have gone with you Keith I could have saved you!” Keith and Treena came outside and watched from a distance as I continued to cry I said “I’m sorry Keith I’m so
sorry” Keith and Treena went back inside the Pub “she really is crushed” Keith said with a sad look on his face “I don’t like it when Alyssa is upset” “Keith ever since the day you passed away she’s been so upset she can’t drink Guinness without thinking about you she always cries for you Keith it’s been rough seeing her like this” Keith put his hands on Treena’s shoulders “I have a plan next month is September right?” “right but
why?” “listen Treena my love, Alyssa needs to have closure before the tour starts next month we can’t have her being miserable the whole tour and she needs that confidence that I’m still with all of you so what do you say to letting me see her on the day you get ready to leave for the tour?” Treena nodded and
said “I think it would be good for her you’re right she does need to see you” “alright then here’s what I need you to do, after rehearsals for the tour keep Alyssa inside the studio and I will appear as soon as you give me a signal and the signal is nodding your head got it?” “got it!” said Treena
Hmmm Keith has a good plan doesn't he? lets hope it works! be looking out for UPDATE #3!!

well here it is UPDATE #3 is here!
The next morning I headed to the studio which wasn’t very far away so I just walked today is the first day of recording for my solo album I was feeling sad because I knew Keith wasn’t going to be there and as I started to walk a song came on my Ipod from the movie Rent called will I and I sang one of the lines from the song “will someone care will I wake tomorrow from this nightmare” Keith’s death…. I feel like I’m in a nightmare that I’ll never awake from… but this…. This isn’t a dream it’s reality Keith
is really dead and my whole world that was lit up by someone I always looked up to has gone dark I feel like I wanna scream but nothing I do is gonna bring Keith back not even taking my life I tried doing that last night but Damian knocked me to the ground and stopped me before it could happen I… I don’t know what I was thinking I could hear Damian’s voice in my head again
screaming at me he slapped me on my cheek last night and it wasn’t a soft slap it was a hard slap he slapped me right after he knocked me to the ground “WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ALYSSA?! I KNOW YOU’RE UPSET BUT TAKING YOUR LIFE ISNT GONNA BRING HIM BACK I’M SORRY THE ONE YOU LOOKED UP TO IS GONE BUT TAKE A LOOK AT WHO YOU’VE GOT IN FRONT OF YOU YOU’VE GOT THE REST OF US TAKING YOUR LIFE…..? FOOLISH AND PATHETIC!”
I was backed up against the wall as he yelled at me Damian is upset too that Keith is gone we’re both upset we’re all upset but why does he see a reason to slap me? I’m going to tell Dad Ryan and Sharon what Damian did to me last night I’m scared what if the call the police on him? What could happen? I approached the
studio and I went inside “Alyssa! Ryan and I were beginning to worry… Alyssa m’dear are you ok?” I started to cry and I ran to Sharon and Ryan “please please whatever you do, you have to promise you won’t call the police…” “we won’t Alyssa darling why would there be a need to do so?” I took a deep breath “alright you’re not going to like this…. I tried to take my life last night…. And before I had the chance to do so Damian knocked me to the ground and…..” I began to sob and choke out “he slapped me”
Ryan and Sharon gasped and Ryan walked up to me, hugged me tight and said “oh Alyssa sweetheart I’m so sorry” Sharon grabbed her book bag and said “ Damian slapping Alyssa is uncalled for! I’m going to have a little talk with him Ryan you get her settled down David will be here soon to get her started with recording” Sharon walked out, got into her car and drove to mine
and Damian’s place. Ryan and I sat in the floor and I buried my face in Ryan’s shoulder and cried “why did he slap me dad? Why?” Ryan hugged me tighter and said “I don’t know sweetheart but he had no right to do that to you, you should’ve called me” “I would have dad but you’re so far away from me I mean you’re in The Moy and I’m here in Derry” “that’s still no excuse you should have called me” just then David Munroe the
pianist walked in just as Ryan and I had expected Ryan and I looked at David with our arms still wrapped around each other “I already know Sharon told me and what Damian did is highly uncalled for! I am not happy with him at all and I will make sure
he knows that! Now on another note you two ready to record your duets first?” we both stood up and said “of course!” “alright then let’s get in there! the other lads should be here soon to watch you” Ryan, David and I stepped into the recording booth to record the first song as father and daughter Butterfly Fly
Away. We put on our headsets and David did the same the music began and Ryan and I started to sing
Alyssa: You tucked me in, turned out the light Kept me safe and sound at night Little girls depend on things like that Brushed my teeth and combed my hair Had to drive me everywhere You were always there when I looked back You had to do it all alone Make a living, make a home Must have been as hard as it could be And when I couldn't sleep at night Scared things wouldn't turn out right You would hold my hand and sing to me
Alyssa and Ryan: Caterpillar in the tree How you wonder who you'll be Can't go far but you can always dream Wish you may and wish you might Don't you worry, hold on tight I promise you there will come a day Butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away Flap your wings now you can't stay Take those dreams and make them all come true Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away We've been waiting for this day All along and knowing just what to do Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away Butterfly fly away. After we sang Butterfly Fly Away we went on to our next song All I Ask Of you from Phantom Of The Opera and we had the Celtic Thunder Orchestra helping us with this one Ryan and I began to sing
(Ryan) No more talk of darkness Forget these wide-eyed fears I'm here, nothing can harm you My words will warm and calm you Let me be your freedom Let daylight dry your tears I'm here, with you, beside you To guard you and to guide you (Alyssa) Say you'll love me every waking moment Turn my head with talk of summer time Say you need me with you now and always Promise me that all you say is true That's all I ask of you [Ryan] Let me be your shelter Let me be your light You're safe, no one will find you Your fears are far behind you [Alyssa] All I want is freedom A world with no more night And you, always beside me To hold me and to hide me [Ryan] Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime Let me lead you from your solitude Say you need me with you here, beside you Anywhere you go, let me go too Christine, that's all I ask of you [Alyssa] Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime Say the word and I will follow you [Both] Share each day with me, each night, each morning [Alyssa] Say you love me [Alyssa] You know I do [Both] Love me, that's all I ask of you. [Both] Anywhere you go, let me go too Love me, that's all I ask of you After singing All I ask of you Ryan and I heard whistling and clapping and there was Sharon, the lads, Treena and Meagan. “alright Alyssa you ready to record our last song together you remember how daddy told you he was Judas in
Jesus Christ Superstar?” “Dad! How could I ever forget!” “and your Uncle Neil will be singing Jesus’ parts in the song” I smiled and said “perfect idea!” “great! let’s get started then!” Ryan motioned for Neil and The CT gals to come on in, Neil and the
gals put their pairs of headsets and we began to sing Everything’s alright from Jesus Christ Superstar,
(Alyssa) Try not to get worried Try not to turn on to Problems that upset you (oh) Don't you know Everything's alright Yes everything's fine And we want you to sleep well tonight Let the world turn without you tonight If we try We'll get by So forget all about us tonight (Nicole, Laura, and Seana) Everything's all right Yes everything's all right yes (Alyssa) Sleep and I shall soothe you Calm you and anoint you Myrrh for your hot forehead (oh) Then you'll feel Everything's all right Yes everything's fine And it's cool and the ointment's sweet For the fire in your head and feet Close your eyes Close your eyes And relax Think of nothing tonight (Nicole, Laura and Seana) Everything's all right Yes everything's all right yes (Ryan) Woman your fine ointment Brand new and expensive Should have been saved for the poor Why has it been wasted? We could have raised maybe Three hundred silver pieces or more People who are hungry People who are starving Matter more Than your feet and hair (Alyssa) Try not to get worried Try not to turn on to Problems that upset you (oh) Don't you know And we want you to sleep well tonight Let the world turn without you tonight If we try We'll get by So forget all about us tonight (Nicole, Laura and Seana) Everything's all right Yes everything's all right yes (Neil) Surely you're not saying We have the resources To save the poor from their lot? There will be poor always Pathetically struggling Look at the good things you've got! Think while you still have me Move while you still see me You'll be lost You'll be so sorry When I'm gone (Alyssa) Sleep and I shall soothe you Calm you and anoint you Myrrh for your hot forehead (oh) then you'll feel Everything's alright Yes everything's fine And it's cool and the ointment's sweet For the fire in your head and feet Close your eyes Close your eyes And relax Think of nothing tonight (Nicole, Laura, Seana and Alyssa) Close your eyes close your eyes And relax Think of nothing Everything's all right Yes everything's all right yes
After recording all the songs before my solo songs the lads were once again clapping and Sharon said “great job you six! Now for Alyssa to start recording her solo songs!” I got excited everyone exited the room and I sang some of Keith’s songs Orange Moon which I sang with my southern accent, Rosa, then I grabbed Keith’s guitar handed down to me and sang Everybody’s Talkin’
and several other songs and the final song I sang was Don’t Forget About Me I felt like it was perfect I felt like it was Keith talking to me saying forget about everything else but just don’t forget about me. Finally, I finished recording my solo album by
the time I finished recording the whole CD it had to have been at least seven in the evening or later “hey Alyssa, if you wanna get away for a while you can come back with me to The Moy” said
Ryan “oh dad, I don’t know what about the twins Deidre and Declan?” “let Damian deal with the twins for the night you’ve done enough let him be in your shoes for the night! and I’m still angry with him for slapping you that was really uncalled for!” I looked at Ryan with a worried face “hey now no need for a look like that! The twins will be fine don’t you worry Sharon went to get your things from your place she should be back here in a moment oh and there she is” Sharon walked in with my things
and she said “there I grabbed everything I thought you might need and… Alyssa, I told Damian before you come back he’s gonna have to apologize for what he did” “thank you Sharon dad and I best be going now before it gets any later” I said “right, methinks we should all be getting home now” Sharon said yawning we all hugged and said goodbye as Ryan and I headed out to the car “hey Uncle Neil!” he turned around “yes Alyssa
dear?” “would you wanna spend the night with dad and I?” Neil smiled and said “of course! I’ve got me bedtime stuff with me you go on ahead I’ll follow behind I smiled and said great see ye’ soon!” Neil nodded and we got in the cars and headed off to Ryan’s place. There was silence for a bit “so uncalled for….. I thought he loved me dad….” Ryan took my hand, started to rub it
and said “Alyssa sweetheart he does love you he just wasn’t thinking I promise things will be ok but like Sharon said you can’t go back until Damo apologizes Alyssa, ever since you came to join us I’ve been your father because I care about you and I just don’t want you to get hurt” I leaned over and kissed him on the
cheek as we approached his place “I know dad… I know… I love you” “I love you too sweetheart” shortly after we reached Ryan’s place Neil arrived a moment later we got out of the cars grabbed our things and i said "cant wait until Sharon let's me announce the news about my solo album!" Ryan and Neil said "you did a grat job Alyssa we're proud of ye'! and we can't wait either!" we headed headed inside.
man, Damian really got himself in trouble didnt he? *sigh* oh well i'll just have to wait and hopefully he apologizes soon
be looking out for UPDATE #4!!!

I don't like the fact that Damian slapped you but I also don't like the fact you tried to take your life! That is something Sharon and the others maybe worried about me doing! But of course what they don't know yet is that I can See and Talk to Keith which gives me the strength to carry on! Soon "Alyssa" have the same peace I do.
SPEAKING OF ALBUMS! HOW ABOUT COLM STAYED BEHIND TO HELP DAVID CLEAN UP A BIT AND IN THE PROCESS THEY FIND A SPECIAL CD KEITH RECORDED JUST FOR ME! AND COLM TAKES IT UPON HIMSELF TO COME OUT TO MINE AND KEITH'S PLACE IN MUFF CO. DONEGAL TO DELIVER IT TO ME!

~its time for a special side scene!!!!!~ after everyone else had left Colm decided to stay behind to help David clean up it was a bit rough to be cleaning up the very recording booth that Keith spent may hours in while Colm was putting headsets extra instruments and mics away he found a case with Keith and Treena's picture on it "David! look at this!" David ran over to Colm "great scot! it's for Treena!" there was
silence for a moment "I will go to her she needs this it would give her peace again with the loss of Keith" David nodded "i'll finish up here lad go! hurry!" Colm grabbed the CD and went and bought some roses the very flower Keith always got for her and began the long drive to Keith and Treena's place. meanwhile.... "so whats the craic? i hear Alyssa has a new album coming out soon" said Keith "yeah and she's with Ryan and Neil right now too Keith because she's so upset about you she tried to shoot herself dead and.. Damian knocked her to the ground before she could pull the trigger and... he slapped her Sharon is pretty upset about it... upset that Alyssa almost kiled herself and
Damian slapped her so they're seperated for awhile until Damian says he's sorry" Keith gasped "uncalled for! Damian slapping her?! THAT IS SO UNCALLED FOR!" "I agree my love" just then they heard a thump "it's Colm! go! hurry and hide my love!" Keith went and hid "Treena! are you here?!" Treena shouted out "yes! i'm here what is it and why have you come all this way i thought you went home" Colm smiled and set the CD with the roses on the table "from Keith" Treena picked up the CD with shaky hands and shuddering voice " the very... gift... he spoke of.... he never
had the chance to get it to me..... oh thank you Colm thank you" Treena said hugging Colm "it was my pleasure m'dear" he said bowing "i must be going now my family awaits me safe return home i shall return tomorrow" Treena smiled and said "right, go and return here safely" Colm smiled at Treena and left. Keith reappeared behind Treena and kissed her "well what are you waiting for? go put on that red dress you love so much and put
the CD in a romantic date... here... just you and I." Treena ran and got her red dress on and returned to the CD Keith did just for her playing and the roses in a vase with a candle burning she smiled "oh Keith this is perfect just as it has always been! just you and i a date at home" "all for you my love "Thank You" she said as they kissed "like i said all for you my love.

Alyssa! Thank you for this side scene! And something tells me Keith may already be plotting to set me up with Colm! I have another suggestion for you about if on the last time me and Keith where together before he died that was the romantic evening I became with Child and I find out after his death!

well here it is UPDATE #4 is here!!
when we got inside we sat down on the couch and Ryan said “there now you’ll be safe here Damian can’t slap you here I don’t like the idea too much that you tried to take your life nor do I like that Damian slapped you so maybe a couple days apart will fix things” I nodded and I leaned on Ryan and he hugged me “its
ok sweetie things will get better I promise has daddy ever backed out on a promise?” “no” “then I won’t back out on this one” I smiled and kissed his cheek we sat there for a while and I soon fell asleep in Ryan’s arms he smiled at me as I slept in his arms “I’ll get her to bed see you upstairs lad” Ryan said to
Neil “right I’ll be up soon” Neil said as he kissed me on the lips “goodnight cupcake” “a-hem” said Ryan giving Neil his dark destroyer stare “hey we’re family I’m her uncle and you’re her dad now doesn’t that mean we can kiss her on the lips?’’ “erm I
guess.. well in that case…” Ryan carried me upstairs laid me down on the bed grabbed a pair of his sweats and sweatshirt and changed me out of my dress and into the sweatshirt and sweatpants kissed me on the lips and said “goodnight my sweetheart of a daughter” Neil and Ryan passed each other in the hallway “night Neil” “night Ryan” they went in their rooms,
changed into Sweatshirt and Sweatpants, jumped into bed and fell asleep. Meanwhile….. “Keith darling I think there’s something I need to tell you…. *gulp* you remember that night right the night before you passed away…” “yes of course I do my love
what is it you need to tell me” “well…. Keith my love I’m……pregnant” Keith got a look of shock on his face and thought in his mind “this is all the more of a reason to get Colm and Treena together she can’t be alone no I can’t have that” then Keith said
out loud “oh Treena my love! This is wonderful!” he hugged Treena and kissed her Treena smiled and said “I wish you could be here” “but I am here honey I never left you” the next day I awoke to hearing voices in the living room and I was dressed in
Sweatpants and shirt I smiled and said under my breath “thanks dad I knew you wouldn’t let me sleep in a dress” I headed towards the staircase and slammed against the wall “dang it it’s
Damian!” I quickly went back to my room “she’s not ready to see you yet and I am not happy with you Damo after you slapped her!” Ryan came upstairs “good mornin’ sweetheart!” I smiled “mornin’ dad” Uncle Neil ran you a hot bubble bath I figured you could use one since you worked a lot on your album
yesterday and had an eventful day yesterday” “thanks dad you know me too well” he smiled and kissed me on the lips “that’s because daddy and uncle love you” I smiled as I headed downstairs to the bathroom “it’s all ready for you my cupcake” “thanks uncle” I headed into the bathroom this is
perfect nice and dimly lit with scented candles and Seana’s harp music playing in the background I took off my bathrobe and got into the tub it was just right *sigh* I began to feel all tensions drop I’ve recorded my solo album I’m away on vacation at dad’s
everything is just perfect and at ease. After my bath I headed out into the living room to find that dad made my favorite breakfast Pancakes with syrup and some orange juice I looked back to that day that I got the phone call from Neil this was the very thing I was eating for breakfast when I got the phone call it
made me smile. After breakfast we headed to the studio to rehearse the new songs for the new CT tour production we have only 3 more days before we get ready to leave to The United States again. When we got to the studio Damian was there with the twins in his arms. “oh Deidre! Declan! My little darlings I’ve missed you!” I kissed their little foreheads and I looked up at
Damian as I took Deidre into my arms and I hugged Damian he kissed my forehead “I’m sorry my love I just…. I just didn’t think” I placed a finger to his lips and kissed him “I forgive you” we kissed again and held our lips together for a moment. After
rehearsals I was the only one left inside the studio other than Treena I felt a bit empty inside thinking we now only have two days before we leave on tour and Keith…. Keith won’t be with us. Keith whispered to Treena “it’s time… go on tell her now” Treena smiled at me and walked over to me “Alyssa dear there’s someone that wants to see you…. Someone… whom I know you
love… turn around” I turned to see an angelic figure I looked in shock and fright not knowing who it was I kneeled down “speak to me o’ angel of heaven for I know not who you are” the mysterious angel giggled just like Keith and said “stand and look up my darling Alyssa for you know who I am when you hear my voice” I did just as I was told and when I stood I smiled and a tear began to stream down my cheek “Keith is it…. really you?”
ah just when it was getting good i left you hangin' well just be patient because i'll be updating again tomorrow and putting up all new stories through spring break! for now this writer needs some sleep not feeling too well with strep throat and a cold mixed together! be looking out for UPDATE #5!!

Well Done Alyssa! Somehow I figured when I told Angel Keith about the Baby he would start plotting to bring me and Colm together! Happy that Keith is now going to appear and talk to both you and me. Can we Keep Keith to ourselves just for a wee bit more! Wonder how Sharon is going to react to having one Pregnant Violin Player on her hands!

here it is UPDATE #5 is here!!!! Treena put her hands on my shoulders and looked up at Keith as he appeared to me my eyes widened and I put my hands over my face in shock and began to cry as Treena walked me over to Keith she then let me go and Keith wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug and a minute later I did the same as he took a finger and wiped away the tear from my eye “now there’s no need for that I’m here and I’m hugging you is that enough to tell you that it’s me?” “*sniff* yes of course it is Keith! I missed you” Treena grabbed the CD player and put on Keith’s song The Heart Of Saturday Night. Keith held my hands and said “shall we dance like we always did?” I smiled and said “of course!” he pulled me a little bit closer to him put one of my hands around his waist and another on his shoulder and he did the same one hand on my waist and he took my other hand and held it in his I smiled and locked my eyes on his Treena was taking pictures and with these pictures only her and I would be able to see Keith it was fun being in Keith’s arms I felt all the sadness slip away I was happy again and I thought I’d never see him again but here he is dancing with me this isn’t a dream it’s real I’ve finally been awoken from my nightmare the nightmare is over after his song finished mine and Damian’s wedding song came on… Kissing you by Des’ree we stopped for a moment Keith and I smiled at each other we looked at Treena and she nodded and Keith and I decided to dance together to this song as well. Kissing you…. Related to how I felt without Keith in my life and how I felt like I wanted to die. We slow danced together as the song began Pride can stand a thousand trials The strong will never fall But watching stars without you My soul cries Heaving heart is full of pain Oooh, oooh, the aching 'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh I'm kissing you, oooh Touch me deep, pure and true Give to me forever 'Cause I'm kissing you, oooh I'm kissing you, oooh Where are you now Where are you now 'Cause I'm kissing you I'm kissing you, oooh… Half way through the song I let Keith dance with Treena and then Keith said “Alyssa, stand back and run to me” and I said “what for?” “Just trust me ok Alyssa you know you can” “ok” I took a few steps back and Keith put his arms out to me I ran towards him and he picked me up and into the air I went I had the hugest smile on my face. After we danced together I said “Keith, will I get to see you again?” Keith hugged me and said “of course you can! If you’re not able to get out to my boat to see me all you have to do is just quietly say my name and I’ll come” I smiled and said “promise?” “I promise! now Alyssa there’s something Treena and I wanna tell ye’” Treena smiled and said “you’re gonna be an Auntie! A Celtic Thunder Auntie that is!!” “Oh my god! Really?! Are you sure?!” “yes Alyssa you are!” I was in total shock “this is wonderful!” I hugged both Keith and Treena and said “I guess we better get going Sharon is probably wondering what we’re doing” we got outside and I locked the doors to the studio “right alright everyone! That’s it for the day great job and we’ll be meeting at the airport on Wednesday tomorrow you will all have a day off have a great day tomorrow!” said Sharon. Colm walked over to Treena and said “Treena, if you’re up for it there’s a surf contest I signed up for its tomorrow and I got Alyssa in on it too how do ye’ feel about competing tomorrow?” Treena smiled and said “of course! I am an expert after all!!” Colm smiled and said “perfect! You did learn from the best after all!!” the next morning my alarm went off at 6 AM “the surf contest is today!” I dashed to my closet and pulled out my wetsuit, swimsuit and I ran to the bathroom and got ready and Damian said to me as I put suntan lotion on “tackle the waves today honey it’s all you do it for Keith! The king of surf!!” i did my warrior growl and said “alright you! No reason to be afraid of the surf! It’s all or nothing you can do this!” I heard a car horn honk “they’re here its time” Damian and I kissed “go out there and win that medal for Keith I believe in you honey!” I smiled and said “thanks my love COWABUNGA BABY HOO YAH!!” Treena helped me get my surfboard on top of the car and I got in the back “let’s do this!” after a long drive we finally arrived at Achill Island in Mayo “you do know how to surf right don’t you Colm?” I said “I used to surf when I was younger I practiced all afternoon after everyone went home” said Colm “good now let’s get signed in” meanwhile little did Treena, Colm and I know that the lads, Sharon, The CT Girls and the cast and crew were here at the beach getting ready to watch us surf! the CT entourage found a place to stand and waited for the contest to begin “ATENTION! WILL ALL SUFERS PLEASE HEAD TO THE SHORELINE ALL SURFERS HEAD TO THE SHORELINE” said the announcer “that’s our call” said Colm we headed to the shoreline and waited for everything to begin “oh god… Keith Keith where are you I need you right now” “I’m here Alyssa don’t worry you can do this you can win I’ll be right here on the shoreline awaiting your return” I nodded “AND NOW OUR FIRST THREE CONTESTANTS IN THE TAG TEAM SURFING PART OF THE COMPETITION LADIES AND GENTLEMEN MAY I INTRODUCE TO YOU TEAM THUNDERRRRRR!!!! AND THE TEAM MEMBERS ARE TREENA HARKIN, ALYSSA MCGINTY AND COLM KEEGAN!!!!” the crowds clapped and cheered and our CT family called our names as we screamed out “COWABUNGA!!!!” we headed into the water to catch the waves “check out that huge wave!” I said “let’s catch it!” said Colm we swam towards it on our surfboards and got right on top of the massive wave! We pulled our surfboards together and formed a pyramid with me on the top “WHOA! WHAT A WILD PYRAMID AND CHECK OUT ALYSSA’S WARRIOR STANCE TOTALLY WICKED! THE JUDGES ARE MEZMIRIZED CHECK OUT THOSE SCORES!!!!! 150 POINTS!!!” we jumped back onto our surfboards and did a few other tricks before we reached the shore we ended up with a total of five hundred points for the first part of the competition! After all the other teams had done their trio performances it was time for the solo performances “AND NOW ONTO THE SOLO ROUND!!! TEAM THUNDER’S ALYSSA MCGINTY YOU’RE UP!!! I got nervous very quickly I felt like I was going to end up in an accident but I had to do it I can’t let my team loose “go on Alyssa you can do it I believe in you!” said Keith I smiled and shouted out "COWABUNGA!!!!" as I headed to the shoreline, jumped into the water, and paddled out to catch a wave to begin the solo round. whoa! this is going to be one intense surf competition! lets hope i dont get hurt i'm gonna win it for Celtic Thunder and Team Thunder baby!!!! COWABUNGA!!!! Be looking out for UPDATE #6!!
