During the soundcheck Lauren opted to stay in the green room area garnering her more playful comments from Keith. Mia sat with Fynn watching the guys as they rehearsed songs and dance moves for the show that night. She giggled and laughed when they would mess up or fumble over a line, which at times seemed on purpose. It was nearing five o'clock when they finished and headed to the backstage area for dinner.
"You gals joinin' us?", Ryan asked as Fynn carried a sleepy Mia.
"I'm going to put her down in the green room for a bit. Maybe in a little while," she answered.
"Mommy, I'm not tired,"Mia mumbled against her shoulder.
"Sure you're not baby," she laughed as Ryan gave her shoulder a pat and went to join the others,"Let's just lay down for a little bit okay?"
"Okay", she agreed as her mother lay her on the couch,"I need my blanket."
"It's coming honey," she said pulling the blanket out of one of the bags and carefully spreading it over the little girl,"You wanna put your ead on mommy's lap?", this was answered with a nod as Fynn sat down. Mia curled up against her closing her eyes. Fynn took this chance to pull the hair tie out of her own hair and rest her head against the back of the couch, her fingers stroking her daughter's hair softly.
"Thought you might be hungry," Neil said opening the door. He held two plates of food, his pockets bulged with two soda cans.
"You didn't have too", she smiled taking the offered plate as he pulled out the soda for her.
"Ryan said princess there was half asleep, so I figured you and I could have some dinner together," he pulled up a chair and sat in front of her.
"She had a ball watching you guys, she kept laughing and cracking up."
"The other lads think she's absolutely adorable, same goes for you," he said taking a bite of a sandwich.
"Nice, like how you slid that one in," she chuckled,"I'm hoping she will be awake to get dressed for the show."
"It's okay if she's not. Just knowing the both of you are here means a lot to me."
"We are happy to be here," she felt the all too familiar heat rise in her face,"So where to after tonight? A lot more cities?"
"We have just a few weeks left, then in January I will be on the Phil Coulter cruise, and then promos in March for the new album."
"Down time at all?"
"I was getting to that," he laughed,"Actually, Lauren and Keith were talking about spending the summer in my old hometown of Wicklow. Lovely seaside town of Bray."
"She hadn't mentioned it to me, sounds lovely though."
"I won't spoil anything, but just listen to what she has to say. Could be something fun."
"Are you three plotting?", she narrowed her eyes playfully.
"Never, scouts honor", he grinned.
"Now I know you're all up to something", she laughed. She felt Mia shift and looked down,"We have to be quiet," she said almost in a whisper,"She's cranky if she gets woken up too soon."
"Who does she get that from?", he teased remembering Fynn's appearence that morning.
"I wouldn't know," she said eating more of the food that he had brought for her. They chatted a bit more until Sharon, their producer came in to get Neil.
"Dinner's over," he sighed as she left the room,"Time to get my kilt on."
"Ah, those lovely kilts," Fynn couldn't help the small giggle that escaped her throat as she carefully stood up avoiding moving Mia too much.
"What is it with you women and kilts?", he laughed slipping his arms around her waist and resting his hands at the small of her back.
"If I answered that it wouldn't be a mystery to you anymore," she gazed into his brown eyes feeling her knees get weak as he gently moved his finger tips up and down her spine.
"I'll be good, your daughter is on the couch", he kissed her tenderly.
"Good idea", she murmered against his lips allowing them to linger a moment longer,"See you in a bit", she waved as he closed the door behind him. She sank into a near by chair catching her breath. It was all happening so quickly. The space after the show would be good, she had to get things back in her control and find a balance. Something that had been knocked off course since she met Neil. She glanced at Mia who was still sleeping and took the time to get herself ready for the show. She changed out of the jeans and t-shirt into a black skirt that hung just abover her knees and a green v-neck sweater. She left her hair down, pinning up the sides with small clips. She laid Mia's pink and black dress over the back of the chair and then went to finish her own make up.
"I have to hand it to you Neil", Declan said as they stood at the side of the stage,"Fynn seems pretty amazing."
"I think so," he replied with a smile,"She agreed to the job."
"So, not only are you two dating, but now she's working for you?"
"Yep," he grinned,"I think it works out rather nicely."
"Trying to keep tabs on her?"
"No! She doesn amazing work and I am lucky to have her as a photographer. The bonus is the extra time that I get to spend with her. I also get time with Mia and that's extremely important."
"You ready ta take on a kid boy-o?', Declan twirled the drumstick between his fingers.
"Fynn is a package deal and I would be happy to be a father to Mia.She's a great little kid and so sweet."
"You're a better man than most would be," he clapped him on the back as they made their way onto the stage.

The show was finished and now it was time to say goodbye to Neil. Fynn caught herself saddened by the idea of not being able to see him the next morning, they would be resorting back to emails while the tour finished. She was comfortable with that idea and yet she wondered if it would be enough for either one of them. She knew that regardless of how either one of them felt it would have to be enough. There was also the knawing fear that had been there since Isaac died. What if something happened? Neil was on the road, on planes, buses, and number of things that could possibly have accidents. She didn't want to put herself through that worry again and desperately wanted to save Mia from anymore hurt than what she had already endured. Was it fair? No, but it was safe and understandable.
"So what do you think?", Lauren asked looking at her sister.
"About what?", Fynn answered caught off guard.
"Were you even listening to me?"
"I'm sorry Laur, my mind is just not with it right now."
"Summer in Wicklow, you, Mia, myself, Neil and Keith. They were talking about a vacation house near the beach."
"I.....I don't know," she said watching Mia twirling and spinning while humming to herself.
"It's a summer in Ireland Fynn! What's not to know?"
"I don't want to discuss it," she shook her head.
Lauren grabbed her sister by the shoulders,"Answer me this, have you been happy the last few days?"
"Knock it off Lauren," she said pulling herself out of her sister's grip,"yes I have been happy, but that doesn't translate into wanting to spend three months with someone."
"It would be so good for you and Mia, kind of like a fresh start after everything. Plus her birthday is in June, she would be thrilled to be in Ireland for her birthday."
"She's going to be six, she won't know the difference," she said defensively.
"You are just hot and cold Fynn and it's not fair to Neil."
"Laur, stay out of it okay. I care about him, but I have to think about my daughter and what is best for her. What if he and I don't work out? How will that play out with a five year old in the mix? Not well."
"You are so over analytical! Nothing is ever easy with you," Lauren threw her hands in the air in frustration.
"And you just have all the answers don't you Lauren? My wise older sister, how could I doubt you?"
"Don't okay," she sighed,"Just don't, look you like Neil and that is okay. You have a daughter and she gets slong with him. Nothing in the world is perfect, but at least consider the possibility."
"I have," Fynn said quietly,"And that is why I am scared."
"A summer by the ocean in Ireland, it sounds perfect. Come on, admit it", she grinned sheepishly.
"I hate you," she laughed,"There's the guys," she said spotting Neil and Keith breaking away from the others.
"Ladies!", Keith called,"and Ms. Mia, how did you like the show?", he scooped up the little girl.

"It was awesome!," she giggled giving his neck a squeeze,"I really liked when you and Neil played the guitars on the surfing song."
"We saw ye dancing", Neil smiled at her,"Must say you have some good moves."
"She gets it from me", Lauren laughed,"Trust me you never want to see her mother dance."
"Thank Laur," Fynn rolled her eyes with a laugh,"The show was wonderful you guys. Not much can keep my five year old entertained for so long."
"We're a hit with kids, what can we say," Neil said with a wink.
"Are we staying with you guys Uncle Keith?", Mia looked at him.
"No love," he shook his head,"We have some more cities to visit. But Christmas and New Years are coming soon, so you never know. Santa might bring you a present."
"Okay," she said with a pout.
"Chin up there lass," he kissed her cheek,"Won't be long 'fore ya see us."
"Promise?", she lifted her caramel eyes to look at him.
"I do indeed," he carefully placed her back on the ground.
"We should get going", Fynn said as Keith put an arm around Lauren leading her away from their small group.
"Shall I walk you ladies out?", Neil held out a hand to Mia.
"Sure, come on", she took his hand pulling him with her.
Fynn watched as the two walked and chatted, she knew form an outside perspective that the Neil and Mia looked like a father and daughter. Could Neil fill that roll that had been vacated so unexpectedly? Would Mia fully allow him to fill that roll? Neil being friends with her and getting to know her was fine, but any closer and Fynn couldn't answer the questions honestly. She would have to talk to Mia over the coming weeks and try to explain things to her. Things she had never hoped to have to explain, but if she didn't she would be denying her heart what it was starting to feel. There was a comfort in the denial and that comfort was the idea of no more pain. There had been so much and for a few days she had been able to let that go. She had been able to let him go and allow Neil to slowly step in. He had stepped in graciously and now they had to say goodbye. She sighed to herself as she pressed the button to unlock the doors.
"You okay?" Neil looked at her while Mia opened the door.
"Yeah, we'll talk in a sec," she smiled and helped Mia into the booster seat,"Can you sit here for just a minute baby? I wanted to talk to Neil."
"Okay, mommy," Mia kissed her cheek picking up the toy monkey that Neil had given to her.
Fynn stood up closing the door and turning to face Neil,"Thank you for the last few days, they have been," she stopped to collect her thoughts and to avoid the tremble in her voice,"really amazing. Mia has had fun and been a five year old. She needed this so much and you and Keith, the guys. Everyone has been wonderful."
"Mia's not the only one who has had fun and been doted on," He took a step towards her.
"Neil, there are fans not far off," she glanced into the distance where people waited with cameras and books.
"Fynn, it doesn't matter," he cupped her cheek gently against his hand,"Fans are a part of what I do and sooner or later they will see how crazy I am about you."
"I'd rather it be later," she said with a small laugh enjoying the warmth of his hand against her cold skin,"and you're right, Mia's not the only one who has had a good time. I have enjoyed everything so much."
"Fynn, I am crazy about you and about Mia. she is such a great little girl and I just want to be there for her and for you," he stopped before the rest bubbling under the surface had a chance to make its appearance,"I know it sounds crazy and I know you're not ready for it yet. All I am asking for is a chance and that when you are ready, that I can be the one who is there."
Fynn couldn't find her voice as his eyes held her, those dark, patient pools of brown. The eyes that she had started to memorize over just a few days, eyes that made her lose all sense of thought. She took a breath leaning against the back of the car,"Neil, everything you said is understanable and is valid. I don't doubt a word of it, but there is so much more. I am complicated, I'm damaged, I am so wrapped up in being a mom that I have little else I do."
"You're not damaged Fynn," he smiled,"Maybe a little cracked here and there, but those are fixable," He took her hands in his pulling her close,"Just give me this summer in Wicklow, that's all I'm asking."
Why did he have to look at her like that? His eyes warm and genuine, his lips in a thin smile, his eyes slightly crinkled from the lift at the corners of his mouth. His hands were warm and strong, holding hers gently, yet firm enough to convey the fact they wouldn't let go. She felt tears springing to her eyes, unsure as to why completely,"The summer in Wicklow," she agreed quietly taken off guard as Neil swept her into his arms crushing his lips against hers.
