~*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.
