~*Chapter 57*~
2 WEEKS LATER...Nick took a deep breath and knocked on Blane's hotel room
door.They were in Paris now.Blane was still not talking to him,and he
couldn't take it anymore.He had to do this now before he lost his nerve.
She pulled open the door,and when she saw it was him,she started to close
the door,but he stopped her.
"Blane,don't.I think we need to talk," he said.
She held the door open and he stepped past her.Before she could say
anything,he took her hand.She looked up at him.
"I know you're still upset with me,but I came here to fix that." He took
a deep breath."Blane,you're the only woman for me.I love you with all my
heart.I would never do anything to hurt you."
She took a deep breath."Nick...," she began,but stopped when he suddenly
took a black velvet box out of his pants pocket and got down on one knee."Oh
my god..," she whispered,knowing exactly what was going to happen.
He took her hand in his and looked up at her."I'm gonna do this before I
completely lose my nerve," he told her,and she laughed softly.He continued."I
love you,Blane Alexander.Will you marry me?" He slid the ring on her finger
then,trying to control his own shaking hand.
Tears were falling down her cheeks then,as she slowly nodded her
head."Yes,Nick.I'll marry you," she told him,and he took her in his arms.
"Oh Blane.These past few weeks have been hell for me.I went crazy not
being able to be with you," he murmered in her ear.
She pulled away from him and smiled."Well,now I have a surprise for you,"
she told him.She was quiet before continuing."Remember that night we spent
together at your house right before you went back out on tour?And the day
after?"
He nodded slowly,not fully undersatanding what she was saying.Then it hit
him;he tried to open his mouth but no sound came out.
She laughed."I'm pregnant,Nick," she replied,squeezing his hand."And this
time I'm absolutely sure."
He leaned over and kissed her.Then he jumped up in the air and
exclaimed,"I'm gonna be a daddy!Woohoo!!!!"
Blane laughed again as she pulled him to her and kissed him."I love you
Nickolas Gene Carter," she whispered.
He ran his finger over her cheek."I love you too Blane Elizabeth
Alexander," he said.
***********~*Chapter 58*~*************
Brian and Lisa were playing a game of cards at the get-together in the
guys' hotel room.
AJ and Erica were laying on the couch looking through wedding
magazines,and AJ was gently rubbing Erica's slowly~expanding stomach.She
looked up into his chocolate brown eyes and they kissed.
No one knew where Kelly and Kevin were.Probably off on a secret
rendezvous somewhere where no one could find them.
Howie and Kari were engrossed in a movie on the floor,and every now and
then they'd kiss.They were in their own little world,as were AJ and Erica.
Nick had gone off somewhere,but no one knew where.He had been moping
around for weeks because of Blane and him fighting,and he hardly ever hung
out with them.Brian had talked to him a few days ago and he seemed to be
dealing ok.Brian hoped Nick and Blane could work out their problems,because
Nick really cared about her and was miserable without her.
Just then the door opened and Nick and Blane walked in,holding hands.AJ
looked up and grinned.
"Well,well.Look who finally made up," he said,and Nick and Blane laughed.
Nick took a deep breath."We have an announcement to make.Blane and I are
getting married," he replied,and everyone congratulated them.
Blane turned to Erica."And whenever you want to go maternity~clothes
shopping with me,let me know," she said,smiling slyly.
Erica screamed and jumped up,throwing her arms around Blane."You're
pregnan!Oh my god," she screeched."Now I have someone to share all my mood
swings and weird food cravings with."
Blane laughed."Weird food cravings?," she asked.
Erica nodded,but before she could say anything AJ said," Yesterday
morning she wanted waffles with M&M's and chocolate frosting." He began to
gag playfully,and Erica smacked him.
"You try being pregnant and having to deal with all the hormonal changes
and see how you feel!," she yelled,and ran from the room.
AJ stood up."See what I mean when I say you gotta watch yourself?They
totally spaz out on you," he told Nick,and went after Erica.
Nick wrapped his arms around Blane."Promise me you won't be too bad
during your pregnancy.Because if you get TOO bad,I'll have to hurt you," he
joked.
She kissed him."I'll try,but I'm not promising anything," she told him.
They went to join the others then.
