Ryan
“I am in New York for surgery, sorry I didnt tell you sooner. The same time as you, I bet well I am writing this your in your rehearsals for opening night. Sasha and Billy both cant wait too see you, as I gave them my meet and greets you sent me for the concert.” as Ryan finally clued in his sister was here in New York. But he decided to keep on reading. “i love you Ryan, with all my heart, you have shown me so much in life and it was great too see you while we were in Ireland, and its been great to hear everything from Shelby about Laura, and how she found the love of her life. But besides the point as I have fifteen minutes until my surgery, the doctors told me its a high risk surgery and I signed the forms because its a chance I am willing to take. I have cancer and they arent sure if I will make it through it. So I thought I would write you this, as too tell you everything. I have graduated from college with a bachelor of law and I would love for you too tell Laura I love her with everything I have. If billy gives you this letter at the concert in Radio City it means I didnt make it through, and I will always be with you Ryan. Please dont blame yourself and follow every single one of your dreams. The Dark Destoryer is part of Celtic Thunder and I am proud of you little brother. It was great too be their too see you with Mia, she makes you happy and I can see that. Attached in this envelope states you have the guardian rights to my dear Laura, she will grow up to be a fine lady and from what I am told she already is, that Keith Harkin will treat her well im told, make sure you tell her I approve. Sasha has the keys to my flat, in Canada. I love you all, and take care of my baby girl. Your the best all the love in the world. Your loving sister Becca.” By the time the letter was over Ryan had tears just fall down his face. It was utterly undescribable as he held the letter close to his heart and looked up too see all his friends happy. His sister was right he couldnt blame himself, but how could he tell Laura, he didnt know what he was suppose to do. Just then as he wiped the tears from his eyes and stuck the letter back in his pocket. Keith and Laura walked in to sit beside him.

Ryan just stared blankly at the two of them, as they both took their seats. When they had walked in it was all smiles with a few giggles from Laura but it didnt take even a shear moment for the concern to cross her face as she sat down. All she could see was the worried yet confused look on her uncles face. "What happened Uncle Ryan?" she asked worriedly, her tone of voice matching the look on both her face and Keith's. Ryan took a deep breath as he desperately tried to fight the tears that were threatening to fall as he said in a shaky voice "Laura I just got some bad news sweetheart" he said as he handed her the letter and put his face towards the table so he could hide the silent tears that were falling. She read the letter in silence, Keith watching her face with worry, as tears began to form in her eyes. When she finished her face became blank, but her eyes were swimming with sadness, grief, and anger, the tears were just falling down her cheeks. Laura just looked at around as she bolted up out of her seat and ran out to the buses, leaving the letter on the table behind her. It all happened so fast but without a word, Keith snatched up the letter firm in his hand and ran after Laura, his mind only focused on helping her. Mia and Taylor noticed what had happened and pretty soon, everyone was crowded around Ryan, as they all had no idea what had happened. Ryan finally looked up as he spoke in a hush, but hurting tone. Its my sister Becca, she didnt make it through her cancer surgery he barely got out before Mia was right their beside him. Mia wiped a lonely tear from Ryan's red, tear-soaked cheek as she said softly "Ryan, I know losing your sister to something heartbreaking but remember Becca was a wonderful girl, a good mother and a great sister to you, and really what you have too look out for now is Laura, as it finally clued into Mia. Ryan just looked up at her, as she embraced him in a hug. Anything and everything, that girl is family Mia whispered in Ryan's ear as she kissed him on the cheek. Paul, just stood their in shock as he didnt really know what to say. Until he looked at his watch, Come on, let's go back to the bus and sit and talk, okay?" he said. Ryan looked at Mia, grief swallowing his features as he grabbed his coat and slowly got up and trudged with Mia back to the buses, everybody else following close behind, in quiet conversation, each utterly worried about Ryan and Laura. Meanwhile, Keith finally managed to get to the girls bus. Who knew a grief stricken girl could run so quickly? he thought. he knocked on the door of the bus "Laura its me, Keith. Can I come in?" he heard no reply, so he opened the door and went in. The sight he saw before him absolutely broke his heart. It was Laura, yet it wasn't. It seemed more like a ghost of, her face very red, yet extremely pale all at the same time, her hair a knotted mess, her chest glimmering from the tears. She was on her knees on the floor of the bus, holding onto a picture of her and her mom. She had a haunted look in her eyes as she gripped the picture, her knuckles white as snow, and she stared at it with a haunted, saddened, and slightly angered look. "Laura?" Keith asked softly. Laura looked up at Keith, her eyes so full of tears, as he seemed as hurt as they were when she was looking at the picture. Keith immeadiately went over to her and pulled her close to him. She never moved her head, staring blankly at the photo. "Why did she have to die? Why?" she asked, her voice brimming with much sorrow and anger. Keith stroked her hair as he said softly "I don't know. I honestly can't tell you love. But you know what? at least she's not suffering anymore. She's in a better place now, where she can be happy and pain-free and live a better life. You know she will always watch over you and Ryan. Laura just held onto Keith tightly as he smiled, and let out a big sigh of relief. “Your amazing Laura, but truley I just wish I had of gotten her opinion of us together”. Laura just looked up at Keith, her eyes still with a hint of sadness. She reached to Keith's hand as she grabbed the letter from him. This is what kept me from leaving, its being here with you the thought of you and me together, and the fact that she approves of it. Plus, uncle Ryan needs me, so do everyone else. I cant let them down too, so I will stay strong for them. I was for Becca when her dad died. I never cried, well at least when people could see me and I sayed strong all for her sake and the sake of those I loved. Now it's time to return the favor. She took a deep breath and she laid her head on Keith's shoulder as she hugged him. Keith just sat there, stunned beyond belief at Laura's words. He was one of the main reasons she hadn't done something regretful, she wanted to be with him forever. It was all he thought about this as he sat there, holding the true love of his life in his arms. Everything else became obsolete as he sat there thinking about her and her alone, helping her to overcome the so much together. They sat there for hours until they finally fell asleep, Keith leaned up against the wall with his arms around Laura, who was nestled into him her head on his chest. After a while, everyone had been on the girls bus, comforting Ryan who finally came to his senses and realized he had to be strong. As he remembered, from the letter “Please dont blame yourself and follow every single one of your dreams. The Dark Destoryer is part of Celtic Thunder and I am proud of you little brother.” As he finally took Mia by the hand. I love you Mia, no matter what we will get through this. But suddenly Laura popped into his mind. Where is Laura? He questioned everyone. Keith is with her, on the other bus. As a hint of a smile grew across his face, from then on Ryan knew he had to be strong not only for himself but for Laura, for Mia, for all the people in his life that he loved. He finally decided to go back to the guys bus and go to bed, since they were on the road for the next date tommorrow. When they got back to the bus, they noticed Keith and Laura on the floor, Keith holding Laura, who looked very much at peace, and they all smiled. Damian grabbed his Manchester United throw blanket and threw it over them and they all went to bed, so they could get up the next morning. The next day, everyone got up and got dressed. Laura and Keith were slightly embarassed about the position they were in when they woke up, and the fact that everyone knew about it, but everyone seemed to be okay with it. All of the girls piled into the kitchen part of their bus as they wanted fruit loops, all the guys in the other bus decided they woud eat cocoa puffs. As everyone enjoyed their breakfast, finally the bus pulled up to the truck stop in Georgia as Damian looked at his watch. September 8th and its only 7am so much to do he said with a smile. Meanwhile, Ryan was busy on the phone with family, the rest went outside as they Damian & Taylor met up. Taylor with a soccer ball in hand, for a few hours everyone just kinda was laid back and enjoyed the quiet. Finally when they came back on the bus, the two of them were laughing and encouraged everyone to get together on the one bus and get rolling towards Omaha. Everyone decided to put all bad things aside. Although judging by the great time they were all having on the bus. They held a Mario Kart tournament, in which Laura surprisingly won, but she admitted to them that she had beaten the game a zillion times before. Then the boys forced Laura, Neil, and Keith to reform PLC and perform a rock band concert, which they totally rocked. A great time was had by all on the road to Omaha, filled with laughs and great craic. By the looks of things, they were doing okay, but they all still worried about their Ryan and Laura. That night everyone talked about everything from Keith's possible proposal, which was a quiet convo between Mia and Taylor. Everyone even got on the topic of Neil and Olivia's date and everything in between. Ryan and Laura, finally even got a chance to sit and talk. As Laura just hugged him, I miss my mom but I know she is going to be okay and I have you she said as Ryan felt tears in his eyes. He loved Laura, every little bit of him did but he knew she was going to have to make some big choices soon. Her home was in Canada, and Ryan's home was in Ireland. Ryan knew in his heart he would keep his duty to Becca. Laura was the one thing, that meant everything to him. He thought. Mia just sat down beside Ryan. No matter what, we will all do it together she looked at Laura as she too jumped up to hug Mia. Taylor and the rest of the girls just smiled, as Paul let out a tiny chuckle as he picked up Laura. Well my love, Celtic Thunder family it is. Laura just smiled, until Damian broke the silence she was already part of it Paul your behind. Paul just smacked Damian on the back of the head. Just then they all felt the breaks of the bus as they looked out the window they all knew they had finally reached Omaha as they all got off the buses, Ready to face a new audience a new town & the start of something new Ryan whispered to Laura as Keith grabbed her hand on the other side.
i know some of my readers are waiting for BIG THINGS!!! CHA it will happen!!

Everyone made their way to check out the theatre it was amazing, Olivia and Neil had went to go and unpack all Neil's guitar stuff. Paul and Cakey went across the street to get starbucks, as they were heading back Paul put his arm around Cakey. Ive got a suprise he said with a laugh as they both walked as everyone just smiled and waved at them. Cakey just smiled, but was incredibly curious as to where they were going. So she asked “what suprise Paul?” she wondered. “Lets just say, were gunna go hang out on the guys bus. Since the girl bus isnt that fun” he said with a smirk on his face. Cakey gazed up at Paul, a mischeivous glint in her eyes as she said "Well, Iv'e been dying to see this , house on wheels Damian calls it and since we don't have a wii fit board on the girls bus, that should be well worth the torture, its all worth it when it comes to Yoga?" Paul laughed and sighed, saying while brushing a hair out of her face "Ahh, you silly, silly girl and your twisted urges. Sure, let's do yoga. Although don't hate me if I fall on you, because I've never done this before." Cakey laughed and kissed Paul on the cheek and said "Relax! I'm sure you'll be just fine." and with that she jumped up the step to the bus and began setting up the wii. All Paul could do was sit down and rub the cheek she kissed and blush. Man, she is a wonderful girl, talented and sweet he thought as she set everything up. Finally, when Cakey finished, she stood up and snapped her fingers saying "Aww, I forgot something on the other bus! I'll be right back!" and she ran out of the bus. Paul just chuckled to himself and shook his head with a smile on his face, as he tried to read the instuctions on how to play Yoga games. Cakey came back a few seconds later, wearing a tee shirt that had 'Peace Love Narwhals' on the front and a picture of a narwhal on the back. Paul just bursted out laughing and asked "What on earth is a Narwhal?" Cakey spun around so Paul could see the back of the shirt. He laughed and stood up and grabbed Cakey around her waist, kissing the top of her head as he said "Your hilarious sometimes, you know that?" Cakey just giggled and Paul let go and they began to play wii fit. It was quite a comical sight. Paul did okay at first, but then he tried doing the tree pose, and he fell over knocking Cakey over too, who fell on the stack of pillows she'd so conveniently laid out in case this happened. There was lots of laughs and love as the two of them spent hours trying to do yoga, and epically failing. Meanwhile, Ryan and Mia we sitting on the stage inside, as Keith and Damian were running around with a book and something chasing each other. Taylor and Laura were just sitting in some chairs when Taylor's phone vibrated. As she flipped it open, it was September 9th at 10am. As she smiled, Tell Damian I say Happy Birthday love Meagan. Keith finally smiled as he reallised where he was as he stopped in front of Taylor. She just stood up and grabbed Damian by the pant pockets & pulled him close to her. Damian standing their not caring he just dropped the book and everything, as Taylor pulled him in for a deep passionate kiss. Finally she pulled back, happy birthday babe. Dont think I forgot, but just as he was about to say something Taylor's phone went off again. Only this time it was Ty, he sounded frantic but also happy at the same time. As he yelled, Hospital now I mean it. Meagan is asking for you guys. Taylor knew right them what that meant, as she smiled at Damian. I think your bestfriend is about to have her baby. As Damian & Taylor, Keith & Laura all quickly ran down to catch a cab to take them to the hospital. Laura's face was priceless as she knew Meagan was going to have her baby. Damian was all joy because it too was the day he was born only years before. It didnt take long for them all to get to the hospital, as Taylor walked up to talk to one of the nurses. We are here to see Meagan & Ty, the nurse just smiled she said I should be expecting some gorgeous Irish accents coming to see her, just in time actually she just had the baby as the nurse looked at Keith and Damian. They both just laughed, their may be more there is actually six of us. Damian & Taylor were the first too, because they didnt want to crowd the room. Meagan just smiled as Taylor walked in, but their was Ty right their with her holding her hand. Hi mate, as he gave Damian a hug. Its great too see you both, as Damian seen the little boy lying in the tiny bed next to Meagan's as his heart just filled with warmth. Damian just stood their as he looked at the baby, the nurse came in with a smile, would you like to hold him she asked Damian. Meagan just nodded and smiled as he held out his arms. The nurse just smiled as she placed the baby in his arms. Damian's smile just grew on his face, as Ty too smiled and patted him on the back. As Damian looked up at him, this is Erin Damian O'Doherty as Damian's face just shot up as he looked at Meagan. As she nodded her head, Taylor just smiled as she sat their. Meagan sat up to give her a hug as she whispered in her ear. I missed you girly as the two fo them hugged. It was full off a lot of joy in the room. Damian was over joyed as he felt, they shared the same birthday & he was the inspiration for Erin's middle name. Damian finally handed the baby over to Meagan as she whispered to him. I hope your okay with it, she questioned. Damian just nodded, as Meagan began to talk. Then I hope you dont mind that I have desided to make you and Taylor the godparents of Erin. We love him dearly and I believe you guys have so much love. Taylor spoke up, Erin has one amazing family behind him as she gave her best friend a hug. Meagan just smiled as Ty let out a tiny laugh. Who would have thought though hey Ty. You settling down with a full family and everything with such a lovely lady. Ty just smiled, well mate its all thanks too you and I guess you could say. Im glad for everything that has happened as he kissed Meagan on the forhead. Speaking of that Damian, arent you the one enganged to a fine pretty lass yourself mate? He questioned. Damian just wrapped his arms around Taylor. Forever and Always he whispered as he kissed her cheek. Meagan just let out a tiny giggle. Damian just looked up, as he seen a ring on Meagan's hand. It was a quiet family thing, we couldnt do anything about it. Taylor just looked shocked, but yet still so overjoyed. As she kept gleaming everytime she looked at baby Erin. Damian could see the love in her eyes, as he sat their beside her. The four of them just talked for a pretty long time. It was great for them too all see each other again. Although Taylor and Damian completely forgot about Keith and Laura who they had left out in the waiting room because only two people could go in and see them at a time. Keith just smiled, as the two of them sat and talked. Finally Laura looked up at the clock it had been two hours and they still were in their talking to Meagan. Uh, I need to stretch she finally stated as she stood up and stretched her legs. Keith just laughed, hey love ive got an idea lets go for a walk he said placing his hand in hers as he got up. The two of them headed off down the hall, as they walked past several hospital rooms with closed door's or patients in them. Keith just let out a sigh, I dont know how many times ive been in a hospital but they still give me the creeps a wee bit. Laura just smiled, its not that bad you know. As he put his arm around her and they both walked out too the garden that was out the back of the hospital. It was beautiful, their were pink and blue flowers. Many in different shades as Keith picked one up and held it in his hand. As Laura was running a little bit ahead of him, finally he caught up to her as he wrapped his arms around her waste and spun her around. As she looked at him, their Keith was standing with the sun beaming down on his blonde hair and the glow on his cheeks just glistened. All he did was stand their as he playfully bowed and handed her the flower. Why thank you she said as he pulled her closer and decided to kissed her softly on the lips. Laura felt the radiant passion between the two of them, as he finally pulled away. As he seen the pink flower in Laura's hand, the gorgeous sunlight as it radiated against the garden and the river. Keith knew he had the chance, Damian was right he would know the perfect time. It felt so perfect, his heart was just bursting with love as he stood their and held Laura's hands. Keith suddenly spoke “ Laura” as she looked up and smiled at him. “i love you, as Laura was about to interupt him. “Wait” thats not even half of it” he said putting his finger to her lips. I love you, and being here with you in fact being anywhere with you is perfect, you make me feel so incredible. Ever since, Ryan intruced me to you, ive felt this longing, this passion. The surf waves, just make me feel so much better everytime im out their, but im out their because ive been thinking about you. Running around, seeing everything in the world with these guys, is a dream come true, but finding you made that missing piece in my heart feel complete. As Keith reached into his pocket, you mean the world to me. Your the one I want to wake up to everymorning and make pancakes with and make a huge mess, the one I want to hold in my arms when your sad, or something is wrong. I want to fight things together with you, because I love you Laura with all my heart. Finally Keith got down on one knee, as he opened the little black box to reveal It was gorgeous, Laura's face was priceless as she felt tears run down her face. These tears were mixed emotions of everything and she knew that but her heart was guiding her in the right direction. All she could do was cover her mouth, and his tiny few words slipped out before she could....

Even say anything. Will you give me that chance to be that guy for you, to marry me and spend the rest of our lives together Keith asked her as he was bent down on one knee. Laura just stood their in shock, with the tears falling down her cheeks. It didnt take long before she lost feeling in her legs as she began to sit down, as he reached for her arms to stip her from falling. Keith was so nervous, but yet saving Laura was so incredibly inportant to him. As Laura finally gained enough composure with everything running through her mind all she could do was babble, as Keith knelt to sit beside her his hand intertwined in hers. She could see the love in Keith's eyes as he still had the ring in the box. So many things were running through her mind, her mom battling cancer and her uncle Ryan and aunt Mia. Everything with Keith and Celtic Thunder. The fact that Laura's home was in Canada, but all that didnt matter because suddenly she had amazing flashbacks of going shopping with Taylor in Derry or dancing in the rain with Connor, Damian giving her a big hug and saying she looked pretty. Even surfing the waves in Donegal and going to Keith's surf shack. As she finally looked up at him, I love you Keith and no matter what I feel I have the best family in the world because of all of you guys. Its changed my life and I know I have many tough choices to make and I cant imagine not having you their right beside me she said as Keith wiped a tear from her cheek. Laura finally took her hand, as Keith placed the ring on her finger. My answer to you is yes Keith Harkin. As he embraced her in a tight hug and then gently lifted her chin and kissed her. I love you he whispered to her. Finally as Laura realised she and Keith had sat on wet grass, they both got up too look that both of their behinds were damp. Laura just laughed as she rubbed the dirt off and Keith did the same. As the two of them walked back towards the hospital to go make sure Taylor and Damian hadent left the hospital without them. Didnt take long before Keith and Laura were walking into the hospital hand in hand, to see Ty, Meagan, Damian & Taylor with the baby in hand as they were all walking out of the hospital. Laura just smiled, Doctor's released you? She asked Meagan. Ty just smiled. Girl cant miss a Celtic Thunder concert can I, she said with a laugh. Damian just sorta playfully smacked Ty on the back. Does this mean, we should start a new tradition. Christmas in Ireland for the Celtic Thunder Family. Taylor just laughed it sure is getting bigger isnt it. Keith's smile grew as he suddenly felt Laura's hand interlock with his. Damian just smiled, as they all headed out the door to the hospital. It didnt take long before Taylor noticed the diamond ring on Laura's hand, as she nudged Damian. I win she said as he looked confused. Il explain later she whispered as all seven of them headed back to the theatre to meet up with everyone else.

It didnt take long for all for them to get back, as they all walked through the door Paul was their as he picked up Meagan embracing her in a big hug. Congrats love, as he looked to the baby who was in the seat that Ty was holding. Meagan just beamed as Cakey and Mia came over too, they all said their congrats. But finally Sharon came to tell them they had to get ready for the show in 2 hours. Ryan suddenly smiled as he looked at his watch, as Damian's phone rang and he laughed. Damian picked up his phone, hello he said. Oh yes meet me at the back stage door in ten minutes he said with a smile as he hung up the phone. As he let go of Taylor's hand, I will be back he said as he kissed her on the cheek. Meanwhile the rest of the guys headed back stage so they could get ready for the concert. But Damian had to run as fast as he could to the back stage door before the fans started to gather, he was running through the corridor when he wasent looking and he ran into a young lady probably ine her twenty's he thought. All she could do was apologize as Damian slowed to a complete stop to make sure she was okay. Barely being able to talk as he knew he was in a rush, he still took the time. Im sorry, he said in a think Irish accent. The young lady just stood their in pure amazement. As Damian repeated himself, im sorry are you okay? He questioned. She finally snapped out of it, oh yes im fine really no problem she said with a smile. Damian just let out a tiny giggle, as he looked up at the clock on the wall. Promis you wont go anywhere he said, as he looked down at her name tag “Meg” he said it with a smile. Meg just kinda stood their with a hint of embarassement on her cheeks. Soon after Damian was on the run. Finally he made it to the back stage doors, when he got their he asked the secruity guard to open it, as Emmett and Phieffer rushed in the door. Man is it chilly out their Phieffer said with a laugh as she gave Damian a big hug. Didnt take Emmett long before he wanted to hug his little brother, I missed you he told him. Its great you guys are here, are you done your stuff with school yet? Damian asked. Emmett just smiled, actually thats what we wanted to tell you, we are heading back to Ireland after this concert. Mom and Dad are expecting us, Emmett told Damian. As smiles were all around, but it didnt take long for Damian to realise he had left the girl he knocked over waiting for him. So the three of them made their way back towards the main stage. After about ten minutes, Damian finally found Meg talking to Taylor and Mia and Cakey? He looked confused. Taylor just smiled as Damian wrapped his arms around her waste and kissed her. Damian just looked up at Meg. Hey you know I am sorry for literally knocking you over he said. Meg just laughed, ah no worry's these girls have pretty well filled me in on a lot. Guess your the lucky guy to scoop up a girl like Taylor she said with a smile. Damian just let out a tiny chuckle, luck of the irish I guess. As Damian kissed her on the cheek. Well girl's Emmett and Phieffer are here for the show, I will let you all get your seats. Ive gotta go shower up and get ready he said as he let go of Taylor's hand & waved buy to all of them. Taylor just looked at Meg. i have to work the venue? She told her. Taylor just laughed as she grabbed her arm, they wont miss you come watch the show with us. Emmett was walking alongside of Phieffer, until she ran ahead to talk to Mia. Emmett was just smiles as he put his hand on Taylor's shoulder. Me, mom and dad are proud to know Damo has found a girl like you. He whispered to her, as Taylor looked up. Gemma told me he said trying too look un obvious. Finally they all made it back to the seats, Laura and Cakey jumped up with excitement. Wow the gangs all here Laura said with a tiny laugh. Ty just smiled as Meagan was sitting their with the baby, as he kissed baby Erin's forehead. Meagan was so happy. Emmett couldnt resisit as he leant down over the cradle seat. Congrats, Ty and Meagan he said with a huge smile. Never woulda thought it would be you first, though ey Ty. Ty just laughed, ya mate I remember when me and you and Damo were younger it was all talks of him a baby's. Everywhere we went they just seemed to love him he said. Even the little nephew and Damian teaching him how to play footy. He use to rush home from school for that, as he felt arms wrap around behind him. I love you she whisped in his ear. As he turned around their was Phieffer, all happy as he gently kissed her. I love you too he told her. Finally they all took their seats, as Laura was sitting next to Taylor. All she could do was smile, as she looked over at Laura's hand, it was grazing the ring that was on her finger. Taylor just smiled as she whispered. Congratulations love, as she winked at Laura. All Laura could do was reach and give her a big hug. No really Thank you, im so glad I have a bestfrined like you because none of this would have happened. As Taylor let out a tiny giggle, well I guess your welcome then. But just as she said that, everyone seen the lights go dim and before anyone could say another word it was the opening cords to the song Take Me Home. All they heard behind them was the screaming and excitement from all the Celtic Thunder fans as it was sure to be an amazing concert, just like every other one these lads do they all sat and thought as they enjoyed the show.

Once everyone said their goodbye's for now as the show was over, Damian turned to Taylor and asked "Well love, what are we to do know?" Taylor had a mischeivous grin crawl across her face as she took Damian's hand and said "Well, we have to go back to the theatre, because I have some, buisness, I need to do back there. So cmon, let's go!" Damian just looked confused as they all piled into the cab and rode back to the theatre. When they got there, everyone piled out of the cab and Taylor jumped behind Damian and put her hands over Damian's eyes,causing him to be temporarily blind, "What're you doin? Takin me to IHOP?" He asked with surprise. Taylor just laughed as she said "It's a surprise, silly!" and she lead him gently into the mysterious place. After a few minutes, Taylor stopped and said "Alright, open your eyes!" and she removed her hands from his face. Damian gasped at the sight before him: everyone was dressed in Thunderhead t-shirts, and they all began singing Happy Birthday to him. All he could do was laugh and smile at his friends and their perfectly harmonized rendition of Happy Birthday. When they finished, Taylor pulled Damian close as she leaned her forehead against his and whispered "Happy birthday love." Damian just kept smiling as he was lead over to a giant birthday cake. It was a sheet cake that had a picture of the entire group, all the lads and the dancers, and it was chocolate cake with red and white buttercream icing and "Happy Birthday Damo" written eloquently under the picture. He noticed the candles, fashioned into a number 19, and closed his eyes and blew them out. Everyone clapped and Ryan asked "What did ya wish for, Damo?" Damian smiled a he looked at everyone around the room, his eyes resting on Taylor. "I already have everything I could ever want and need." Everyone went "awwwww" as he kissed Taylor on the forehead. When he pulled back, Laura and Olivia and Cakey all began to chorus "Present Time, Present Time! Open the present and see what's inside!" All Damian and Taylor could do was laugh as Damian was escorted to the large table of gifts. Damian's eyes lit up when he saw the gifts and tore into the first one, which was a gamestop gift card and a Manchester Jersey with matching shades, shorts, and socks. Damian hugged her and said his thanks, noticing the ring on her left hand and couldn't help but give her a look that caused her to blush, confirming his suspicions. After a long time and many, many presents, including the confirmational godparents papers from Meagan and Ty, since they couldn't be there. The final gift was a small box and it had a card on it, addressed 'To Damian, lots of love' Damian just beamed as he opened the card. The card immeadiately began playing a recording of "Everything I Do," especially recorded by all the lads. Damian wrapped Taylor in a tight embrace, grazing his lips on her cheek as he pulled back. He opened the small box and he gasped. His eyes became wide as the moon as he looked at the goregeous Silver and Gold Rolex watch, glistening in the flourescent lights. The face had a Celtic knot with a small emerald in the center. Taylor leaned in and whispered in his ear "Read the back." Damian took the watch carefully out of the box and turned it over so he could read the back. Carved into the back of the watch was a simple three word phrase, written in beautiful letters "Forever and Always." Damian turned to Taylor, his bright blue eyes blinding with happiness as he said, slightly breathless "Thank you. It's so beautiful. You should'nt have spent all that money on me." Taylor softly kissed his lips, pulling back just enough to say "That's only half of it." Damian looked puzzled as Taylor smiled. As she took Damian by the hand and said "Now for that second half I promised you." and she took him by the hand and led him up to her room. When they left, everyone was sitting around and enjoying the cake. Olivia took a bite of the cake as she smiled "This cake is delicious, she said. Although everyone else just smiled and nodded and redirected their attention to Laura. Olivia asked "So Laura, what's with the extra shiny thing on your finger i see?" Laura blushed as she took a bite of the cake and took the fork out of her mouth, getting icing her nose in the process. Keith smiled, his cheeks slightly pink and his dimples showing just as much as hers as he leaned in and kissed the icing off of her nose. He pulled back and smiled warmly at her and all she could do was giggle. Keith turned to everyone, holding the hand with Laura's ring on it and decreed, his voice filled with pride and love, which was matched by the light in his eyes "Well, today I asked Laura to be my wife. You are all looking at the future Mrs. Harkin." Laura blushed as Keith leaned in and kissed her in a way not unlike the one earlier in the gardern, although this one had a bit more force. Everybody was clapping and cheering as they kissed and when they pulled back. Ryan came over to Keith and patted him on the shoulder, his eyes smiling as brightly as Keith's as he said "Keith Harkin, as Laura's official guardian, you officially have mine and my wife's blessing. We couldn't be more happier for you two and look forward to having you for a son-in-law." Keith beamed as he embraced Ryan in a hug and whispered "Thanks mate" as they pulled back. As Mia gave Laura a huge hug, thats fantastic she whispered. Meanwhile, Olivia and Megan were pestering Laura for the deatails about the proposal and the wedding and plans for the future. Laura just laughed as she squeezed Keith's hand, which had intertwined itself in hers, and smiled saying "I'll tell you guys later." Keith pulled her close and kissed her forehead softly, smiling into it and syaing "I love you so much." Laura replied in kind, saying the exact same. They both walked out onto the balcony and stared up at the stars, cuddled up next to each other. Back in the house, Paul was sitting quietly on the couch talking to Megan, while Neil and Olivia were doing more guitar stuff. Ryan and Mia were cleaning up the dishes when Ryan came up behind Mia and wrapped his arms around Mia's waist. He nuzzled her neck affetionately before he looked out at Keith, who had his head rested on Laura's, and sighed saying "Ahhh, young love. Don't you remember the first night we spent together as an engaged couple?" Mia just sighed as she gazed up at Ryan "Yes, how could I forget?" She turned around in his embrace and wrapped her arms around her neck and whispered to him "When do you think we should tell them?" Ryan ran his hand tenderly across her cheek to brush a piece of hair out of her face. "the next destination, definitely." She smiled up at Ryan and softly kissed his cheek before they went back to washing dishes. Meanwhile, back in Taylor's room, Taylor had opened the door to her room and motioned for Damian to go in. What he found inside made him gasp. In the living room, his Manchester United blanket was thrown over the rug, and on it was a lovely candlelight dinner. Taylor took Damian's hand and they both sat down on the blanket and had supper. It was very romantic, and there was lots of great conversation, especially about their new godchild and plans for their wedding. When, they finished eating, they piled up on the couch and flipped through the channels on the television. They weren't five mintues into a movie before Taylor leaned her head up towards Damian and said "Now, about our bet..." Damian just laughed and said with mock puzzlement "What were the demands again? I've forgotten." Taylor just smiled as she locked her lips with Damian. This kiss was like no other, resonating a perfect syhmphony that only true love can produce. After a few long moments of kissing, Damian pulled back and rested his forehead on Taylor's. "I love you." was all he could think to say. "Forever and Always. Happy Birthday sweetheart." she replied. As he intertwined his hand in hers, as Damian let out a light sigh. We have a lot to figure out love he said to her. Taylor just looked up at him, with a smile like nothing else, no matter what we will do it together. As Damian wrapped his arm around her, I called your mom today and she gave more then her permission she was happy for us love. As Taylor's face looked shocked, but all she could do was feel the tears fall down her face, she knew she was spending the rest of her life with the man she loved so much. All Damian could do was smile as he pulled her into a tight hug. Your amazing girl and your mother is proud of you as am I. Both of them stood up talking for a few hours but it didnt take long after before the two of them were fast asleep in each other's arms. Everyone had slowly made their way back to retire to bed, Ryan and Mia had gone to bed not long after they finished cleaning the dishes. Keith and Laura were curled up on Keith's bed, and had fallen asleep somewhat watching a rerun of a surfing competition, but had mostly been talking to each other.Olivia and Neil had been so busy working with the guitars. Olivia was sitting on Neil's lap, curled up into him, with Neil's arms wrapped around her, I think its time you get some sleep love. He said as he helped her up and they headed back to her and Cakey's room. Cakey had fallen asleep on the coach as she was watching Animal Planet, something about Narwhals. Megan had fallen asleep on Paul's shoulder, and Paul had fallen asleep sitting in between Cakey and Megan. Poor guy, Olivia thought as her and Neil walked into the room, as Neil softly lifted Olivia's chin, as he kissed her forehead and whispered sweet dreams. What everyone didnt know was that Emmett and Phieffer were just down stairs, they had just dropped off Meagan and Ty because the baby had to be asleep. As Emmett had his arm around Phieffer, the two of them knew they were flying out later that day too be in Derry too see mom and dad. Mia was upstairs sleeping with dreams that were making her wake up on the hour, too Ryan Kelly fast asleep right next to her. As she tried to go back to sleep, they were haunting dreams and they were making her scared, she tossed and turned until finally she fell back asleep. It was about 5am and Paul woke up as he had to go to the bathroom only to find a note on the side of the coach. Sorry for everything Paul, work calls me back home. Your bestfriend Cakey. Paul seen it and smiled, haha Cakey always the one to chase after animals and help them he thought. As he looked over too see Meg fast asleep on the coach next to him. I better go get ready he thought, long day as he got up and headed back to his room to have a shower and get dressed. After a few hours everyone was awake and down in the lobby of the hotel. Emmett and Phieffer were saying their goodbyes as everyone wished them luck, Phieffer was to start at Queens University and Emmett was heading back on from his study abroad program. Everything was working out well for the two of them, Damian just smiled as he gave his brother a hug. See you when you get home eyy mate Emmett said to Damian. Dont forget to bring that lovely lass with you eyy, as Damian laughed. With that the two of them waved and they were off. Tour seemed to be amazing and everything went great, each night was better then the last as Sharon would always say. George called home to Carrie all the time, it felt amazing to be able to hold all of that. But finally it came to the last night of the tour and everyone was excited to finally go home. The crowd filled the arena in Toronto and their was much excitement, the guys just purely rocked the show. Everyone was fantastic, but everyone also knew that winter was in the air and their was much to be done, but something were kept inside throughout the tour. Mia kept having all the bad dreams that woke her up in the middle of the night, either in tears or scared. But one look at Ryan lying their right next to her made it all go away, but still she wondered what the dreams all meant. Ryan was perfect, although they still didnt tell everyone their secret. I guess you could call it fear she kept telling herself in the mirror everymorning. Meg and Taylor had become quiet close, with Laura spending so much time with Keith. It was like another girlfriend to have around, didnt take long before Meg had found the place in the celtic thunder family. Everyone was extactic, Damian texted Meagan all the time to find out how baby Erin was doing and how everything was with Ty and her. Keith could see it in Laura though, as he walked up to her the morning before their flight back. Its just my mom, this is my home she said with a sad look on her face. Keith just sighed as he wrapped his arms around her, I knew this would be a tough choice for you he said as he grazed her cheek. I cant expect you too just up and leave to be with me back in my home. This is what you know and where you grew up, I love you Laura and thats what matters because if its gunna be an ocean to seprate us I will cross it for you. Because having you in my life means the world to me he trailed off in saying. But Laura just put her fingers to his lips. This is my home and this is what I know, but my family now is all in Ireland, I mean Uncle Ryan and Aunt Mia, the one person I love with all of my heart and all of the friends I love so much. So just the total change just scares me she said a little scared of his reaction. Keith just smiled, we will get through it together he said as the two of them just sat on the coach in the lobby. Meg, Mia, Olivia and Taylor were outside when Paul, Ryan, Neil and Damian came out too see what they were doing. Nothing the three girls said in pure delite. Well flight leaves tonight you girls ready Damian questioned. All packed and ready to go they said in unicent. It was quiet funny actually as Paul just laughed. Guess your coming too Megs? He questioned as he put his arm over Taylor and Meg. She just laughed, haha ya consider it vacation I guess. Paul just winked at Taylor as she let out a tiny giggle and Damian looked confused. As he just shook his head and came over to whisper something to Taylor.. “uh oh swanky tenor is up to something isnt he” he said as he grabbed taylor's hand. The two of them just smiled as they all headed back into the lobby to wait for Sharon and Phil.

It didnt take long for Sharon and Phil too meet everyone in the lobby as they were all gathered around chatting. Damian had a lot on his mind as he was sitting on the couch with Taylor. They all decided it was time to head to the airport they were all getting into the cab, just then Mia collapsed right in front of Damian & Ryan. Quickly everyone was in shock as Ryan rushed to be by her side. Call 911 Sharon, I dont know what is wrong with her as her hands were holding across her tummy as she held it in pain. Everyone else took the cab to the hospital except Phil who stayed back to meet up with the band as Ryan rode in the ambulance with Mia, it was all scary as the paramedics checked her over. Finally they made it too the hospital as the nurses told Ryan to wait in the waiting room. Everyone slowly arrived as everything was all tence and quiet. Ryan sitting in a chair holding his face in his hands as Damian & Paul came beside him. Where is she mate? Is everything alright? they both asked in unisent. Ryan just held his face up as they could see tears falling down his face as Sharon walked into the room. Boys I think Ryan needs some space, you guys take the girls and go down the hall to get something to drink & make sure you let all the band know they can fly home. I dont think we will be on this flight she said as Paul stood up and pulled out his iphone to dial Phil. As the 4 guys & their girls made their way to the cafeteria. Damian quickly stopped Paul, not very smart with hospitals ey mate. Go outside as he directed Paul to make his phone call outside. Everyone just sat down in pure silence everyone was worried about Mia, but the real question was the concern and fear that both Damian & Keith seen in Taylor & Laura's eyes. The tears they knew the two of them were holding back. Damian just held Taylor in a tight embrace as he whispered in her ear “I love you” as she just reached up to kiss Damian on the cheek and nodded. He knew it was worrying her, but he also knew she felt safe in his arms and that even in the slightest helped him believe everything was going to be okay. Laura was sitting on a bench with her legs curled up over Keith's lap. Im worried she muttered faintly and Keith was able to catch it as he wiped a lonely tear from dripping down her cheek. Dont worry love, doctors are going to find out whats wrong. As he gave her a tight hug, its not just Mia, she said as she returened the hug. It didnt take long before she realised. I need to go she said as she tore herself from Keiths embrace. Ryan needs me, my family needs me. I love you she said as she ran out the door and back up the hallway to where she had left Ryan sitting their talking with Sharon. Ryan heard footsteps running up the hall, as he looked to stand up & their standing before him was Laura with tears in her eyes as she ran to Ryan hugging him so tightly it felt so amazing. Sharon soon realised as she quietly said, Im going to check on the rest. Let me know if the doctor comes out she said as she patted Ryan on the shoulder. As Laura finally let go of Ryan, barely able to breath from running. “Uncle Ryan, she is my family too I needed to be here with you it just well um I mean” she started rambling as Ryan took her into a light hug its okay love Im glad you came back. Im scared she said, me too Laura I mean I dont know what I would do without her Ryan started to say as he was choking on the words as he said them. Dont talk like that Uncle Ryan, she finally had the courage to say. I love you both, your my family now. As the two of them sat their waiting for the doctor to come out. It was about fifteen minutes until finally a tall slim guy with a blue surgeoens shrugs on came out. Are you Mr. Kelly? He questioned. As both Ryan and Laura stood up. My name is Doctor Tynes, who is this the doctor refered to Laura? Oh this is my neice Laura he said. Well im sorry to tell you, that your wife suffered from internal bleeding caused by a hemerage in her ovaries. Did you or your wife have any knowledge that she was almost 6 months preganant? The doctor asked. As Laura looked at Ryan in shock, as Ryan answered “yes we did what does that have to do with it? He questioned. Well Mr. Kelly, it seems the hemarage in her ovaries was so severe, it caused permanent damage to her ovaries as well we had no choice in the matter the only way to stop the bleeding was if the the baby was aborted. Im sorry sir but it was the only way to stop the bleeding and save your wifes life. She is just coming out of surgery now and has absolutly no idea what happened. So I suggest you take it slow the doctor said. Ryan still standing their in shock, all he could muster to say “you mean my wife will never be able to have kids”? He questioned. All Laura could do was be in shock, as the doctor looked at the two of them. Im afriad so, Mr. Kelly be thankful you have your wife he said as he patted him on the shoulder. All Ryan could muster out was a quiet “When can I see her?” He asked. You can go in now if you like, he said as he walked around the corner to check on another patient. Ryan just looked at Laura, go tell the others she will be okay & I will be down too meet them in a little bit. He said with a stern voice as he hugged Laura. I love you she told Ryan as he hugged her and then headed to see Mia. Soon as Ryan walked in all he saw was his beautiful wife, with her gorgeous smile looking at him. All he could do was rush by her side, im glad your okay love. You really scared me he said to her as he grabbed her hand. Its okay Ryan I love you & I promised you I would never leave you. Mia, was still a little sleepy from the surgery but she managed to stay awake. Did the doctor tell you what happened to me, she asked really confused. All I remember was being rushed in here and then they toook a blood test & then I was put to sleep & now im here. What happened to me? She asked Ryan. All Ryan could do was stare blankly as he felt his heart being ripped apart as he sat beside Mia holding her hand.
