...With You

Chapter 28



Four Years Later…

"That's our show for today! Thanks to all the people for coming out. I'm Madison Wilkes, and your spending your summer with me and MTV in Cancun. Later all!"

**~*~*~*~**

"Madd!" Carson yelled out, walking through the sand.
Madison turned around and saw Carson walking toward her.
"Great show" Carson smiled "I'm starting to worry about my job."
"Oh, Cars, stop it." Madison smiled.
"So, where is that darling girl of yours?" he asked, looking around.
"She's with her daddy on the beach." Madison smiled.
Madison and Carson walked over to the spot that Justin and Riley were playing.
"He's so good with her" Carson shook his head.
"These four years have been amazing" Madison smiled. "He's with her, us, every chance that there is."
They stood there watching father and daughter smile and laugh together. Justin's eyes met Madison's and he smiled. He turned Riley to face Madison and Riley came running into Madison's extended arms.
"Mommy! Daddy and I built a castle for a princess!" she squealed.
"That's great baby!" Madison smiled. "Look who I brought with me…" she said, pointing behind her to Carson.
"Uncle Carson!" Riley squealed.
Madison passed Riley over to him, who gladly accepted.

Justin brushed the sand off his legs as Madison walked over to him.
"How was she?" Madison asked.
"Our little angel? Perfect." He smiled, kissing her lightly on the lips. "She's almost talking as much as her mother."
"Ha!" Madison smiled. "Yeah, she's talker, that one." She said, looking over at their daughter chatting contently to Carson
JC, Lance, Chris and Joey came from behind and joined Justin and Madison.
"Hey guys" Madison smiled.
"Hey Madd" Joey smiled. "Where's the angel?"
Madison pointed towards Carson as they all looked on.
"Where's my favorite girl?" JC said squatting down in the sand, looking all around.
"I'm right here uncle Josh!" Riley screamed, squirming from Carson's arms. Riley pattered through the sand and into JC's arms. They talked, which seemed like an interesting conversation about the seashells she had collected earlier.. Madison watched Riley's eyes widen as JC told her a story that she obviously enjoyed. Riley didn't fully understand the phenomenon that her daddy and 'uncles' were, but she loved to see them perform. Even when Justin wasn't around in person, Riley got a kick out of watching daddy on TV. After a few minutes, Madison took Riley so the guys could get ready for the performance they were scheduled for in an hour.
"Give daddy a kiss for luck" Justin said, scooping her back into his arms.
Riley placed one right on Justin's cheek. "Mommy, daddy needs luck. Give him a kiss!" Riley smiled.
"Yeah mommy…. Give daddy a kiss…" Justin smiled.
Madison smiled. "You two are too much." Madison leaned in and placed a kiss softly on Justin's lips. Riley smiled at her mommy and daddy. Madison took Riley from Justin so he could leave. "Bye daddy!" she yelled.
"Bye baby!" Justin yelled behind his back.

**~*~*~*~**

"Are you all ready to rock?" Madison screamed into the crowd
:::SCREAMS:::
"Well, Madd? What do you think? Are they ready?" Carson asked, scratching his head.
"I don't know Cars. I mean, this is *NSYNC, we're talking about!" she said, getting the crowd riled up even more.
:::SCREAMS:::
"That sounded better…" Carson noticed.
"Your right…. I don't think we should make them wait any longer. Here they are….*NNNNSYNC!!" Madison yelled.



Carson and Madison made their way off the stage and the guys came from the other entrance. Carson, Madison and Riley watched from the side of the stage. Riley couldn't stop smiling, but neither could Madison for that matter.

"We're so happy that MTV asked us to be here this year. We do have one more song for you ." Justin paused. "But first, I'd like to ask Madison to come back out here for a second." Madison looked at him questionably, but made her way out to center stage.
"For those of you that don't know… Madison and I have been together for about five years now. Nothing can describe the past five years better than a song… so, um… this is a little old, but here it is anyway."

Justin took a step back and joined the group to serenade her with "God Must Have Spent……". The last chorus ended and Justin rejoined Madison and taking her hand he dropped down to one knee.

"Baby, I should've done this a long time ago. You made me the happiest man alive so many times in the past five years. You and Riley are my world. Justin motioned to the side and Riley comes out holding a small box. The entire crowd "ahh-ed" at the sight of the little girl Madison smiled as her daughter headed out toward the two of them. Riley tugged on Madison's skirt and the mother knelt down to her daughter.
"Mommy… Daddy wanted me to give this to you." She cooed, holding out the box. "He said it's a very special present."
"That's right Riley." Justin said smiling. He scooped Riley up in his arms and stood eye level with Madison. "Madison I love you. How you've put up with me for five years is still a mystery to me. I want to make you happy forever. Will you marry me?"
"Yes Justin. Yes, I will marry you." She said without hesitating.
He slipped the ring on her finger and the crowd cheered. Justin and Madison's lips met softly, still standing center stage.

Wrap-ups…
A year later, Justin and Madison had the most beautiful wedding either one of them could have ever imagined. Riley, was the flower girl and Liz, as the Maid-of-Honor. Almost immediately after Riley was born, Carson and Tara broke up. Something about Tara having to find herself. Carson is with a nice woman, out of the spotlight, and in love. JC and Bobbie got back together not long after Riley was born and have been together ever since.

*Nsync went on to sell-out shows and out-sell their own record sales and are now working on their seventh studio album. With awards galore, there ain't no stopping them now!

Things aren't as wild as they used to be. Madison, now twenty-eight and five-old-year Riley Lynn moved down to Orlando to be with Justin. They still keep the New York apartment for trips to visit uncle Carson and occasional business trips. Madison still works for MTV on her own show down in Florida.

When a reporter asked Justin what the future held for him, Madison and Riley, he said, "It's simple really… I just wanna be with them…".
