Leaving

Chapter 1

He was looking out the window of the bus and thought about what had been going on over the last few months. And if someone told him 13 years ago that his wife and 3 kids would leave him and he would be in one of the worlds biggest selling bands ever, he would just have laughed and said yeah whatever, but not today, because now it all was true. His wife left him 3 months ago together with their 3 kids and one on the way, for reasons he still didn’t see anything in. He had been talking to the other lads about it and they all said the same thing “She will be back mate, don’t worry. She just needs time to think and be herself. She will come back.” But he wasn’t so sure about that now. They had only spoken on the phone if his kids wanted to talk to him or if she told him about the baby. He really missed lying next to her and feeling the tiny baby kick in the belly. And see his 2 boys fight over some toys and his little baby girl, who wasn’t that little anymore. He couldn’t believe that she was almost 7 now. She was the pride in him. He was so happy the day she was born, because then he had his own little family and best of all, with the love of his life. And then 3 years after she was born he got his first boy. Now he had it all, the band, his wife and his 2 beautiful kids. But then in the summer, the year after the first boy was born, she told him that he was going to be a daddy again. And in February that next year he got a little boy more, and now 3 years after he was going to be a dad again. But this time it wasn’t really the same. He wouldn’t see the kid grow up like he did with the other 3. He was gonna miss the almost no sleep at night and the night feed, changing nappies and hear the first word, see the baby learning to walk and see the kid take the first steps on its own. And all the other things that only kids do. Sure he had the right to see them whenever he could, but it wasn’t the same. He wanted to be there for them always and waking up to their laughter and to wake up next the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and to kiss her before the kids were gonna run into the their bedroom.
sat next to him and wanted to say something, but when he saw his band mate looking away and in his own world, he just stood up again and walked over to the other guys. “Is he okay?” asked and looked at his sad band mate by the window. “I don’t think so , he is lost in his own world right now. And I can’t say I blame him. And I still can’t believe she left him. I tried talking to her about it, but she wouldn’t say anything.” said and looked down at the table. “Guys do anyone of you have some paper? I need to write something.” All 3 of them looked up and saw that he had been crying. “Sure mate, I will just go get some” said and walked into the back of the bus. 2 minutes after he came back and gave the paper to his mate. “Here and I thought that you might need a pen” “Thanks” he said and walked back to his seat. He put the paper in front of him and started to write.

Chapter 2

3 months earlier.
He said goodbye to the rest of the lads and got in his car to go home. He had a long road ahead of him, but as long as he knew that his wife and kids would be there to welcome him home, it only seemed that the drive was short. He put the music on and started to sing along.
A few hours later he drove up the driveway and was really happy being back home again. The band had been on the road for 4 months now and his wife couldn’t come with him anymore, because his daughter was in school. He got up the driveway and couldn’t see his wife’s car or any of the kids running around. He knew he was home late, but whenever he came home the kids was allowed to stay up late, and they always came running into his arms. He went through the door and called out for all of them, but no answer. He walked to the living room and saw that there was a message on the answering machine. He pressed the button and smiled when he heard her voice. “Hey hun, I’m sorry we are not home now but… uhm… Heeeeey daddy, we miss you. Yeah well we will talk when we are back. Bye” after the message was done, he was done smiling. There was something she wasn’t telling him. And why wouldn’t she say where they were? He picked up the phone and rang his folks to say that he was back home but wouldn’t be coming around tonight, because he was sooo tired. After he put the phone down, he took his bags and walked up to the bedroom. He put the bags on the floor and sat on the bed. There was something wrong here, and now he thought about it he hadn’t talked to his wife on the phone the last 2 weeks, it was always the kids. But back then he didn’t think about it but now he did. He looked at the clock on the wall and took his clothes off and climbed in bed. Even though he was dead tired he couldn’t fall asleep. The whole thing felt different this time he was home. He knew deep inside that something was wrong.

It was after midnight when he heard her car coming up the driveway. She walked up to the front door and up to the bedroom. He could see she had been crying when she came through the door. “Are you okay babe?” he asked with worry in his voice. She looked at him and put a smile on “Yeah everything is fine.” He kept looking at her. He knew that smile and it wasn’t her real smile, it was a fake one. “I know you better than that. What’s up ?” he asked and couldn’t look at her. He had this strange feeling in his heart that she was leaving him. When she didn’t say anything and she just kept going around in the room, he looked up and saw that she had her bags on the floor, next to her by the door. “You are gonna leave me?” he asked and looked at her and saw the tears running down her face. “I’m sorry .” She said and looked at him. He looked down on the floor and tried to fight back the tears. He couldn’t get himself to stop her, because she had already made up her mind. “Where are the kids?” he asked and looked at her big 6 months old belly “And what about the baby?” She put a hand on her belly “They are with my mum and dad. I will call you when the baby is born, then you can come and see it.” It isn’t the same he thought and looked away from her. “What went wrong? How did it come to this?” “I can’t say .” He looked at her. “I wish I could make you stay. But I can’t, you already made up your mind. But why?” he now said with tears running down his face. started to cry too, and he so wanted to go over and hold her close once more, but he couldn’t. She just broke his heart and had taken away his kids. She looked at him the last time and turned around “Goodbye” she said and whispered “I love you” and walked out of their house and got in her car. She started the car and looked at the house one last time and drove away, and away from his life.

It had now been a week since left him, and he had only seen the kids once. This was killing him. He needed to talk to her about this before he got back on tour with the lads. He hadn’t really been sleeping since that night where she told him. The first night he spend on making the nursery ready, and after that he walked around in the other kids rooms and trying to remember their smiles and laughs. He walked back to the nursery and broke down crying when he saw it all. He knew that the room wasn’t going to be used, but still it hit him hard. He went in the guest room that night, because their bedroom held too many memories for him. But he didn’t sleep, so he went down in the living room and found all their pictures. There were their wedding pictures, where they were so happy and smiling and laughing. He remembered her walking down the aisle towards him. He had never seen anyone that beautiful and he would never see that again. There were pictures from when the kids were born, and there was the newest picture of their unborn child. He had been looking forward to being at the birth, and holding the little one in his arms for the first time, but now that was all gone. He broke down again and picked up the phone, he needed to talk to someone. He found ’s number and pressed call. It took some time before he picked up and heard that he woke up. “ why are you calling so late…?” asked in a yawn. “I’m sorry , but I didn’t know who else to call.” said in tears. “Hang on mate” said and climbed quiet out of his bed and walked down to the living room. He didn’t want to wake up or the twins. He could hear that needed someone right now. He took a soda in the fridge and walked into the living room. “Yeah I’m here again mate. What’s wrong?” he asked concerned. didn’t know where to start, so he just broke down again and couldn’t say a thing, tried to comfort him the best he could over the phone, but little did it help. “Do you want me to make a phone meeting with the other lads too?” he asked. He heard mumbling a yes and found the other 2 lads’ numbers and called them. “, what the fuck…?” said half asleep “I hope you have a good reason…” said a little bit angry that woke him up this late. “Hey .” said surprised. “ what is going on?” asked. “Well if you 2 would shut up, I will tell you…” said and tried not to laugh. “Sorry” they both mumbled. “I’m calling because is totally broken over something, and I don’t know what. He is on the line too.” Now that and wasn’t talking they could hear crying down the phone. “, what’s up mate?” asked concerned. who hadn’t said a single word just said “She…left…” he couldn’t say anymore. “What?” asked shocked. “You mean ?” asked. “But why…?” asked just as shocked as . “I…don’t…know…the…kids…” mumbled. “She took the kids too?” asked. “Don’t lock your door mate, I’m coming over now.” said and hung up leaving and with a heartbroken on the phone. and kept trying to comfort , but it didn’t help that much. After 15 minutes took ’s phone and said he would call the lads tomorrow. Right now he needed to get to calm down, and then try to get him to bed. and said goodbye and said he would be over tomorrow to help .
That night got to sleep but only for a few hours, and then something woke up and he started crying again. And now a week after, he still could cry over the smallest things. This morning he started to cry over seeing the kids’ favourite cartoon on the TV. He moved back to his mum and dad after a few days, because he didn’t want and using all their free time on him. And his mum had no problem letting him back home, she could see that he wouldn’t handle it that well back in his own house. He needed to get better soon, because the lads were leaving for a tour the very next week. He really wanted to say no to go back on tour, but it would be good for him to get away from and his memories, for a little while.

Chapter 3

Today had said that he would come around to see how he was doing, and he would bring and the kids too. liked that idea, and then he would get a chance to play with some kids again. Even though it wasn’t his own, it was still kids who could make him smile a little again. He always loved and . They were always happy and laughing and were just like their dad. The twins and his son always played around with people when they were together. There was only a little over a year between them, and sometimes they would let play with them too. And other times they would just say he is too young, or he always cries, but then was always good to play with while the older people, as she says, talk.
He was walking around in the garden when a car pulled up in the driveway. didn’t turn around to see who it was, and let his mum handle those who came. He walked over to some of the horses, who was walking around in the back of the garden. He saw that there was a little foal, and went in to talk to it. He heard the car driving away again and then he heard 3 voice’s yell “Daddy” he turned around and saw and come running, and was walking behind them together with , and . He ran up to his kids and got down on his knees, to welcome them into his arms. flew around his neck and close behind her. He hugged his 2 kids and kissed them both so many times. He let go of them and looked at , who just stood waiting for his turn. opened his arms and ran straight into them. He picked him up and hugged him like there was no tomorrow. He looked at and smiled his first smile in many days. “Did you bring them?” He asked and looked at his friend. “Yeah, called , and said she heard that we were coming, so she asked if they should have a girls’ day in town. So I picked them all up and went here. They took my car into town.” smiled and hugged his friend. put down, but the little kid wouldn’t let go of ’s leg. “Can we have a hug now?” asked and looked at . “Sure” he said and bent down to hug both boys. He smiled at them and picked up again, since the kid wouldn’t let go of him. “What’s wrong little man?” asked his son. looked at his dad with tears in his eyes. “I missed you.” He cried. held the kid close and looked at and . “Has he been this sad all the time?” he asked them. “Yeah, he keeps saying he wants daddy.” said and walked up to the house. The rest walked after her. “I wanna come up too daddy.” said and held his arms out to . He picked his son up and walked with up to the house. When they got in, they saw ’s mum waiting for them in the living room. She smiled when she saw them. She walked over to them to give a hug and to hug her two grandsons. looked at , who was fast asleep on his shoulder. “I will just put him up.” said and gave to his mum.

He walked up to his room and put on the bed. woke up and held on to , so he lie down next to his son and held him, until he was fast asleep again. He walked quiet out of the room, and down to the others, who was outside playing. He looked at his 2 kids playing around with and , God he missed them so much. “How are you holding up mate?” asked and handed a beer to . “Okay I think. I missed them all so much. I have a long way before I’m doing okay again I think” He said and sat down by the table. sat opposite him and looked at the kids playing around. He looked back at . “I have been talking with and . And we can move the tour a few months if you want. Well you can for us lads, but Simon and Louis is another thing. But I think they will say the same.” sat thinking about this. To be honest he could use those months off, but on the other hand he needed to get his mind of all this, and the only way to do that, was being on stage singing for the fans and on the road with the lads. He looked back at “Thanks mate, but the best thing for me will be coming on tour as soon as we can. I need to get my mind of all this and try to come to turn with it all.” smiled at him “We thought you will say that, so we have decided that there will be no wife’s and kids on the tour this time, just us 4 lads and then some beers maybe.” started to laugh “That sounds good .” came back over to them, when she heard laugh again. “Thanks , that’s the first time I have heard my baby laugh in a week.” She smiled. “Muuuum,” laughed “Don’t call me that in front of and the kids.” just laughed and walked into to house to make them something to eat. finished his beer and went out to play with the kids, with close behind him. After a few hours they were sitting in the living room talking and chilling, when they heard a loud cry upstairs. looked at and . “He never used to do that. What is going on?” “I don’t know daddy, he has been doing that this last week. Mummy doesn’t know why though.” said and played on with the boys.

walked upstairs to his room. When he got in, he saw crying on the bed. He rushed over to him, and picked him up in his arms to comfort him. “What’s wrong big guy?” asked and held close to him. “Don’t leave me.” He cried. sat rocking back and fore to calm him. When he was done crying, looked at him with love in his eyes. “Daddy will never leave you . Mummy and daddy just live apart right now. But I will never stop loving you. Okay?” looked up at him. knew he was too young to understand what was going on, but one thing was sure, he didn’t want any of his kids to feel that he would leave them. In some way he thought that was feeling the same as , but was never the type to show how he feels. He always smiled even though he was sad. And kinda understood what was going on, but right now she didn’t show anything to it. But knew that she would at some point. He just didn’t know when. He took down to the living room and put him together with , and after he walked out to his mum in the kitchen. looked at her son. “What’s wrong ?” took a soda from the fridge and sat down at the table. He took a sip and looked at his mum. “ is taking all of this hard. I don’t know what to say to him. He is too young to understand it all.” put the food in the oven and sat down next to . “What happened?” she asked with concern. “Well when I gave the kids a hug and put them back down, wouldn’t let me go and when I put him down for a nap, he still won’t let go, so I had to stay with him until he was fast asleep.” He took another sip and then carried on talking “And here when he woke up, he gave a loud cry and sat crying when I came up to him, and when I asked what was wrong he said don’t leave me daddy.” let the tears fall down now. “I don’t know what to do ma. What is going on?” held her son close to her and hugged him till he calmed down. “I don’t know , I really don’t know. What are and saying to all this?” “They aren’t saying anything, that’s what I feel is wrong. understands, but is only 4 and he isn’t saying anything, just his old happy self.” They sat talking for a little while. made calm down again, and tried to make him understand that maybe, and was used to it by now, with him gone on tour and everything. That made sense to him, but it still didn’t say why was acting like he was. After about half an hour, came out in the kitchen with a crying . As soon as he saw his dad, he ran over to him and held on to him like never before. picked him up and looked at his mum. She too looked worried by it. The rest of the day went quiet and easy, as long as had with him, all the time. stayed at the house a few days with the twins, while had to go home. ’s kids had to go back home to their mum the day after. He had a hard time letting them go again, especially . didn’t come to pick them up, and thought that was because of him, and he was right. When his folks came back from her place, they told him what she said.

Chapter 4

A month had past now, and of course the press found out that had left him, and taken the kids too. And now that he was back on the road, he felt the warm and love from the fans and the other lads. He was starting to get a little bit happier and smiling some more, but when he was alone in the hotel room, the tears still came to him so easy. He had talked to about it all and she kinda told him why she left him, but still he didn’t understand it. He thought they were so in love still, and they were looking forward to bringing their new member of the family into the house. He knew that things were a little harder with in school, and them not being able to come with him on tour and with the new baby coming, but he had talked to Louis and the lads about that, and they were taking a break around the time that the baby would be born, because it was after the tour.
He was sitting in a meeting when he remembered the phone call with . “Look , yes I still love you, but I can’t keep living like this. It is hard for me to walk at home with 3 kids and one on the way. I feel like a single mum. I know you are trying to be there as much as you can, but I just can’t keep this up.” A tear started to roll down his face when she said this. “But why can’t we try and make it work? We can get a teacher with us on the tour and a nanny.” He cried. He could hear that she was crying too. “No , I won’t take out of school. She has her friends there and she loves it so much. And the boys really love the crèche and I can’t take them out now. is also starting in school soon.” She cried “ this is the hardest thing I ever had to do, don’t make it worse.” “But you knew this would happen when we had . You said that you didn’t mind staying home with the kids when I was away. You know that we had an agreement with Louis about us lads being home as much as we can, when the kids was old enough to go to school.” He almost yelled at her. “, please don’t yell. I’m sorry okay? I love you but I can’t keep living like this anymore. I don’t wanna be the one who broke Westlife up, so therefore I’m leaving you. Goodbye my angel.” She said and hung up. broke down in tears when he remembered all of this. All the lads looked at him and he rushed out of the room. He ran down to his car and drove out to the sea, where he parked the car and walked along on the beach.

He had turned off his phone and just sat crying on the beach. “This is it, I’m gonna lose her forever and what about my kids? Will they grow up with a new dad or will they remember me? Why God, why?” he cried out. He felt a person sitting next to him. He looked at him and saw it was . looked back out over the water. He felt put a hand on his shoulder to comfort him. gave him a few minutes before talking, to let him cool down some more. “Look mate, you haven’t lost her forever, she just needs time right now. There is one thing we lads don’t know about our wives, and that is what it is for them to walk home alone with the kids and stuff like that. I had a talk with about all this when you and broke off, and right now she said that she would never leave me, but that’s because I can still have her and the kids with me, but next year that will be over, because starts in school.” He looked at his band mate and saw his tears was still running, “Look I know this is hard for you right now, but look at the bright side, you 2 will have great make up sex when you get back together. I will happily take the kids for a night.” smiled at , this made laugh again. “I hope you are right about the making up part, and you better take the kids, because I don’t want them to walk in on us.” laughed and looked at who was laughing too. “It is going to be lonely for next year mate.” said and looked back over the water. “What do you mean?” asked, “Well…” said and threw a stone in the water before looking at , “ is going home with the twins and the little one at that time, is home with the kids, and is going to stay home too because of going to school, and and are the only ones who got a few years until their daughter starts in school.” said “Yeah I see what you mean mate. Maybe we should say that next year no wife or kids on the road.” smiled. sat thinking about this “Yeah they can come to us in the holidays or weekends, and we can ask Louis for some more free time to go home to our families.” looked at him with a smile “That’s not a bad idea mate. Let’s go back and tell everybody about it.” He said and stood up “I will race you.” He smiled. looked at him and stood up too. “You will never win .” He laughed and ran over to his car, with close behind him “Don’t count on that one .” laughed and jump in his car. He turned the engine on and drove as fast as he could, but was already a head of him.
About 20 minutes after they were back at the meeting and was telling about their idea. And was telling that he beat in the race. wasn’t that happy about the idea with the family. He loved having and their kid with him, but then again he could see it from the other lads point of view, he knew that their kids were in the school ages now and couldn’t come with them, so in the end he said okay for the plan.

Chapter 5

A few months had gone so quick for . He still missed his family and stuff like that. A few days ago he had a talk with . told him everything that told him on the phone. always knew what went on in ’s head, since he grew up with her. was thinking on the day that they told that they were dating. got really mad at first, because had no right to date his cousin, but soon calmed down, when he saw how happy they were with each other.
This had been going on for some weeks now, getting flashback’s of all the good and bad times in their lives. He finally understood that was his true love of life, and never once did he think about going behind her back, not even after she broke it off. He wasn’t that kind of man. He still remembered the first time she came and told him that they were gonna have a baby. He was on tour and couldn’t come along, she had been feeling sick for a few days. They thought that it was just the flu, and that she would get over it quick, so that she could come with him. But that didn’t work, so he took off to go on tour and went to the Doctors a few days after. He called her the same day she had been to the Doctors to check what they said. She didn’t tell him that she was pregnant, but just said that she would be fine in a few days time. What he didn’t know was that after they hung up, she took the flight to London and met him at the hotel. He was worried about her, and asked why she was there and not home in bed. She tried to say something, but just wouldn’t shut up, so in the end she just yelled “I’M PREGNANT” kept talking until it dawned on him what she said. He just kept looking at her face and then down to her tummy. He stood like that a few minutes before he broke into a big smile and hugged her, while screaming that he was going to be a daddy. laughed to himself now about it. But at that time it was really great news for him, because he was gonna start a family.
“Are you okay mate?” smiled at him and walk over to sit next to him on the bus. smiled and looked back at his best friend. “Yeah I’m fine. I was just thinking about when told me she was pregnant with .” He laughed and looked out the window. smiled to himself, he hadn’t heard laugh like that the last few months “Yeah I remember mate. You looked really funny. I saw you” looked at him “You did??? Why haven’t you told me that?” smiled. “Well why should I? It was yours and ’s moment. I was just happy for you.” smiled. “But what about later then…?” looked at and saw that his friend didn’t smile anymore. “Look , I had forgotten about it until now.” smiled at his friend and looked back out on the road.

Back where we started
looked over at his band mates. He could see that they were concerned about him. He was finally starting to feel better again, and then all of the sudden he started to be sad again. The truth been told, he never started to feel better. Yeah he was smiling and laughing sometimes, but he was just too hurt to show it or even think about it, so he told himself that things was finally starting to get better for him, but now 3 months on the road, it finally hit home that he had lost the love of his life. He stood up and walked over to the others. “Guys do anyone of you have some paper? I need to write something.” All 3 of them looked up and saw that he had been crying. “Sure mate, I will just go get some” said and walked into the back of the bus. 2 minutes after he came back and gave the paper to his mate. “Here and I thought that you might need a pen” “Thanks” he said and walked back to his seat. He put the paper in front of him and started to write. The words came easy to him. It was everything that happened that night she left him. He could feel the tears falling down his face when he read the words he wrote.

looked over at and saw that he was crying. “Let’s go over to him.” He said and stood up. and walked after him. sat beside him and put a hand on his shoulder. “Hi mate. Can I see?” asked and held his hand out for the paper was sitting with. handed it over and started to read. When he was done he gave it to , who read it and handed it over to . When all 3 of them were done reading, they looked at . “That’s a really strong song mate.” said and looked at . “Yeah I know. But what can I do? She would never hear it.” “Don’t be too sure about that one. told me that and the kids are gonna come to our Dublin concert. The kids want to see their daddy.” smiled at . looked at him and smiled a real smile this time “Really?” he asked. laughed a little bit and nodded his head to answer the question. “But…But how am I going to do this? The concert is in 2 weeks time. We will never make it.” panicked “Don’t worry . We will be in London the next 4 days. We will help with it all. Okay?” smiled at . looked calmer now “Would you help me?” he smiled. All 3 of them nodded and laughed. could finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, but there was still a long road to go yet.

Chapter 6

The first 2 days in London went with the lads going to shows and TV and that stuff. It was first at day 3, that they sat down and started to write some music, to the song that wrote on the bus. It was hard work to find the right music for the song, but one day at the hotel started playing on his guitar and liked the song he was playing. “Hey mate. What song is that?” he asked and sat next to . “I don’t know it just came to my mind. Why?” he asked and looked at his friend. had noticed a change in ever since he wrote that song. He knew that it was his friend’s way of coming out with what he was feeling. “Well I like it. I think it could go to the song.” smiled and started to sing the lyrics. soon joined in, and before they knew it they had a finished song. They called after and and asked them if they had 10 minutes. wasn’t happy about calling them. Their wives and kids were here to see them, because they had some days off. But they came and started to play and sang.
and looked at each other and back to their 2 band mates. “I really like it.” smiled “Yeah me too.” said. looked at and knew that this was going to be hard, but he needed to ask this. “Uhm , can I ask you something?” asked. “Sure anything” smiled. “Well I was wondering if you could help me out with a lead in the song.” didn’t know what to say at first. He was close on saying no, because it was a really personal song for , but on the other hand he was only happy that asked him. He looked over at and . “Is it okay for you 2?” The lads only smiled and nodded at him. “Well then I would love to help you , but why though? It is so personal to you.” said and tried to understand why his mate asked him. “Well...” started and walked over to look out of the window. “I can still remember what you said to me on the beach, the thing with you and . And it kinda took to me.” He turned around and looked at his friend that he grew up with. was really surprised that could remember that, and in a way he was also sad about it. He didn’t know why though. “Well I’m only happy to help you out .” smiled at . He was lucky to have 3 amazing friends and band mates. “Well then let’s go record. If it is okay with you 2?” he said to and . They just had to go ask their wives and of course they let them go. They understood what was going on.

Chapter 7

1 week later
This last week had been busy for the lads. They finished recording ’s song in just one day. And all 4 of them were surprised about how good ’s voice was on the song. They had agreed with Simon that they could play it in Dublin. So after that they had been so busy on touring around the UK. was starting to get nervous about the show. He really hoped that would think about what he had been through, and how much he wanted her and the kids back into his life, when she heard the song. He couldn’t stand to be without her anymore. He had made a life changing decision. He just hoped that wouldn’t agree on it. But his family meant the most to him now and if he had to let go of the band, then he would. He didn’t want to push his family so far away, that he couldn’t pull them back in. He hadn’t talked to the rest of the guys about it yet, but he knew that he had to before the Dublin show. It was their last show this year. But then again, could he live without the band? Or would he push away from him again? He couldn’t lose her twice. He would rather die than not having her by his side, until the day when one of them stops breathing. Just to see their kids to grow up and start their own families.

He was so deep in his thoughts that he hadn’t seen coming over to him. “Hey mate.” He said and sat on the other side of the table. There was no response from . So he waved his hands in front of ’s head put still nothing. took a hold in his friend’s head and shook him out of his day dreams. looked puzzled at him. “What?” he asked surprised to see there. “Well I was kinda thinking, or rather we were all thinking if you wanna tell us what is on your mind, now with the concert and all coming up in a few days time.” looked at his friend. He was once again surprised about how good friends he had. Not once had they said anything bad, they left him alone if he needed time to think, they were there for him when he was broken down, and they were there to share those little things in his life that made him happy or sad. He truly loved them from the bottom of his heart. So therefore he was afraid to tell them the truth this one time. “Well...” started and looked at his hands. He noticed the other lads coming over to them. “This is gonna be hard.” He was really lost. He knew this was gonna break everyone’s dreams, and he hated himself that it was gonna be him who did that. “I have been thinking about stuff. Oh boy...” he looked at his friends and tried to smile when that didn’t work, he was close to tears. “Erm... The thing is that... If ... Erm... Well if she takes me back and wants me... Erm... Well... To leave the...Erm...” looked at his friend. He knew what he was gonna said, and it surprised him that he wasn’t mad about it. Whatever made happy, he just had to do it. “To leave the band... Then you will do it.” ended speech.
looked at the table and nodded his head. He couldn’t look at them right now. He was afraid that they wanted to rip his head off. gave a small smile and looked at . “I would do the same , no matter what. The family comes first.” looked up at him and could see the truth in his eyes. It was the same with , but he couldn’t read . The lad was sitting in his own world. He looked mad, surprised, sad, happy and worried at the same time. “...” he tried but just held his hand up to stop him. “I know the reason behind this , but...” looked at him, how could he tell his lost friend this, “I would hate to lose what we have, because of my wife say so. It will make me think over some stuff.” He looked in eyes. He tried not to look to mad about it. “Are you telling me that you would leave your wife and kids behind, just so that you could be in the band and be totally heartbroken, because you made that choice?” asked shocked. He could feel the rage coming up in him. He still couldn’t read ’s face. “Well when you put it that way...” started and got lost again. In a way was right, but they worked for so many years on this band. They grew up in it. They had been together through everything that had happened to them, wives, kids, deaths, number 1’s, just everything. “Look...” said and waited until looked up at him, “I’m not saying that I’m leaving right now okay. It all depends on what does.” He smiled at his friend. “ look, we all know that one day this is gonna end, of course we will be heartbroken about it, but then again we have families to take care of and who said that we can’t still be friends after it all ends.” said and tried to make see it from a long distance.
nodded his head and knew what meant. “I’m sorry . I guess I’m just not ready for it, but if it is what has to be done for you, to be together with , then that is what we will do. is right. I think I’ll do the same.” smiled thankful at . “Now let’s get ready for our Dublin show.” smiled and walked off the bus.

The night of the show was finally here and was so nervous about it all. He knew this could be his ever last show, but in a way he hoped that it wasn’t true, and that would tell him to still do what he loved. He was waiting backstage for the show to begin. There was only 10 minutes to go. His mum had just taking his kids back to their seats, but again wouldn’t let go of him. He had to promise the kid that he would bring him on the stage at one point. He had done it with and , so it was only fair that would see it too.
He had the best day for a long time today. He always loved to spend time with the kids. He loved the yelling, the crying, the laughing and the running after them. He once heard someone said that kids could be a blessing but also a curse. And he had to agree with that person. When his kids really wanted to play up to him then they did, all 3 of them. He knew things were gonna be hard when they all were gonna be teenagers, but he was looking forward to it. His mum told him that the boys looked too much alike him, when he was in that age. And he could remember what a hard time he gave his mum when he was a teenager, and to have two of him, boy was he looking forward to and hating it. He laughed to himself when he remembered what happened earlier that day.

Chapter 8

5 hours earlier
“Daddy…!” yelled when he saw his father walking into the hotel. The lads had been to the last sound check for their show. They were glad that they had the whole afternoon off. Everyone from their families was coming, and had been like a kid on Christmas day. He hadn’t seen his young ones for 2 months. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem for him, but now after everything that has happened he just missed them more then everything. “…!” yelled like a little kid. He was laughing when he saw his son came running over to him. “I missed you daddy.” He smiled and kissed . “Daddy missed you too big man.” He smiled all over the face. “Where are your brother and sister?” He asked when he putted back down on the floor. The little lad looked at his father “I don’t know!” he said and could see that he was trying not laugh. “Well , what are you up too now?” “Nothing…” It was the only answer he got and then he saw ran away. looked around him. Now everyone was gone. “What the hell is going on?” he asked himself. He thought that everyone had gone to see their families so he walked into the bar to get a drink, but when he got there it was all dark. “What the fuck…” he said and was about turn around and walk up to his hotel room when the lights were turned back on and everyone yelling “SURPRISE!” He had forgotten that it was his birthday so he started laughing. “Daddy…” he heard again, but this time all 3 of his kids were running over to him. He got down on his knees to welcome them in a hug. He knew that was getting too big for him to go down, but she never said anything, she just let her brothers come first and when they were done, she walked over to him and he lifted her up. “How is my princess?” he asked and kissed her on the cheek. He saw that smile that only could give him. “Fine but I missed you.” “I missed you too.” He smiled and put her down again. He had noticed that was still on his “Daddy, don’t leave me” thing. He looked down and saw the little guy hugging his leg. He picked him up and carried him around with him.
When he was done saying hi to everyone, he noticed that one, or should he say 2 persons, were missing from the party. “Where is mummy?” asked . “I don’t know. Can I go play with and ?” he laughed “Sure go on, and take with you if he wants.” “Okay daddy.” She smiled and walked off together with . He looked after them. She had always been a great big sister to both of her brothers. He remembered that when was born, she wanted to help with everything and the same when was born.
“How are you son?” , ’s dad asked him. smiled at him “I’m getting there, but miss them all so much.” put a hand on his son’s shoulder, “She will be at the show.” He smiled and walked off again. just loved his mum and dad. He could never do enough for them after everything they did for him.
looked at . “Wanna go play with all the other kids?” just shook his head and held tighter on to . “Okay.” He smiled and walked over to his band mates. “Did you set this up?” he smiled at them. “How could you ever think that …?” said “Now I’m hurt.” laughed “I thought it was you .”
He had a great time with everyone. He didn’t know how he could forget his birthday. He knew it was on the day of the show, but maybe with everything they have been through, maybe that pushed it out of his mind. He looked at and thought about his 30’s birthday. had surprised him that day and said that she was pregnant again. At first he was scarred that it was too soon after , but then he remembered that they had a year off, so he got so happy about it. And today he has standing with the proof of his and ’s love. He had 3 proofs and one on the way. He couldn’t believe that she wasn’t there. He would have given everything he own to have her there. He still loved her no matter what.
“Daddy...?” heard and it took him out of his thoughts. He looked down and saw and standing looking up at him, he kneeled down to them. “What’s the matter?” He saw stood with a letter. She handed it over to him. “Mummy said to give you this. Sorry we forgot.” She smiled sadly at her dad. “It is okay , thank you hun.” He smiled and gave them a hug. He stood back up and walked over to a table where no one was sitting. “Should we open it ?” he asked and looked loving at his 3 year old son. just nodded his head and snuggled up to his daddy. smiled and kissed him on the head.
He opened the letter and started to read it.

Dear .
Happy birthday today... I wish things could have been in another way. But you know what I feel about it all.
I thought I would give you this letter to try and tell you how things are here.
is doing okay. She hasn’t really said anything yet. I don’t know where she gets it from. Cus both of us is not like that at all. She’s doing great in school too, but last week I got a letter from her teacher telling me that she is being bullied, because she doesn’t have a dad anymore. I talked to her about it and she tells me she doesn’t care what the other kids say. She knows that she has her daddy and that he still loves her, even though we don’t live together anymore. Does she get it from your side or mine?
is starting to ask why daddy doesn’t live here anymore. I try to tell him as best as I can, that mummy and daddy doesn’t love each other anymore and that with us living apart, we can love them more. He is also starting to hit everyone. A few days ago came crying telling that hit him and showed me a big bruise on his arm. He still has it.

stopped reading and looked at ’s arm, and he was shocked to see the bruise that he had. He said to himself that he had to talk to about it. He picked the letter back up and started to read again.

I don’t know what to do about him. He is starting to get wild and everything. Was it so wrong of me to leave you? I don’t know. But he is taking it really hard now. I was wondering when he would show it. He is so like you.
Well ... You know how he takes it all. He is a daddy’s boy. The screaming when he wakes up is still there. He wants to see your DVD’s every single day, and if or wants to see something else he gets mad, and threw things around and after them. I don’t know how to handle him anymore. I try my best. But you are the only one he wants to listen to right now. He told me some days ago that he hates me. How can our little 3 year old say things like that? I’m really lost when it comes to the boys. What can I do? They really remind me of you, every single day. Can you try and talk to them?
Well I got to go now. Have a great show tonight and I will see you there. I think.
Love you.


folded the letter and looked at his son. He was surprised that both and were starting to get like this. They were always good kids. Of course they had their days where they were mad or upset, but nothing like this. He took and put him on the table so he could look at him. tried to look mad but with this angel face looking at him it was hard. “Do you tell mummy bad things?” he asked and saw his son close to tears. He nodded his head and let the tears roll down his cheeks. “What is it that daddy always said about these things?” “No bad words to everyone or about them.” The boy said and looked down. “Then why did you tell mummy you hate her?” asked with a soft voice. He didn’t want to scare him. “She wasn’t nice to me. She yelled at me for something.” said sad. “We don’t tell people we hate them, even though they are yelling at you.” gave his son a small smile, to let him know that daddy wasn’t mad, but that this couldn’t go on. just nodded his head and cried. pulled him in to a hug. “Now when you see mummy later today, you are gonna say sorry to her. Okay mister?” he smiled. “Okay daddy.” stood up and put the letter in his pocket. She still loved him. Now all he had to do was try and get her back, so they could be a happy family again, all 6 of them.

He walked to where was and came just in time to see the young lad hit . “ , what are you doing?” He almost yelled. looked shocked at his dad and then around all the people, who was now looking at him. “Are you okay ?” asked and walked over to the lad. He looked at his arm and saw a bruise. He could see was close to tears. He sat down and pulled the kid in to a hug. He looked at his son, who was standing with his head down and crying. “Why did you hit ?” he asked calm. looked at him with hurt in his eyes. It was not often that raised his voice over the kids, but when he did they knew that they had done something bad. When didn’t answer asked again, now a little more firm. “He took my toy.” cried.
who had noticed the little stop in the kids play walked over and saw sitting with his crying son, and who was standing looking like he was about to go to jail. “What is going on ?” asked and sat down next to his mate. He held his arms out to and pulled him over to him. didn’t answer but kept looking at . “You can’t go hitting people . You know that.” said in a soft voice again. “Sorry daddy.” He cried. held his arm out and pulled his son into a hug. “We will take this talk later. Do you have something to say to ?” he asked and let go of him. stood up and walked over to who was still crying “I’m sorry .” He said and gave him a hug. “That’s good. Now you can go over and sit on a chair, and come back when you have something else to say to me. Mummy told me everything.” said and pushed his son over to a chair that was standing a bit away from, where the kids were playing. walked over and sat down, while he was still crying. looked at him and felt his heart melt. He hated to see his kids cry. He looked back at with a guilty look in his eyes. “I’m sorry . He has just started this thing about hitting people. I don’t know why.” smiled at his friend. Even though he didn’t like that hit his son, he could see that didn’t know what to do. And he knew that was a good boy. “It is okay mate. It is just his way of dealing with this. He knows it is wrong, but he probably thinks it is the only way to get your attention.” knew he was right, so he just nodded at his friend and gave a small smile.

Chapter 9

5 minutes before show time.
It took about 15 minutes to come over and say sorry to and . They had a good long talk, and promised never to hit anyone again and trusted him.
He walked backstage, ready to go over to the stage and get ready to be pushed up. He found the letter that he got from . He pulled it out of the envelop and wanted to read it again, but when he did, something fell out and onto the floor. He bent down to see what it was. When he got it he saw that it was a new picture of the baby. He turned it around and saw that had written something on the back.

Hi ,
Meet your new babygirl.
Love

He felt the tears starting to roll down and he smiled. He was gonna get a girl. This was the best thing. He knew that was gonna be happy about it. He could see playing with dolls with the baby, when she was a big enough to play with it, but then again then she was gonna be around 9 or 10. Did she really want to play with her 3 year old sister when she was 10? He would just have to wait and see. He saw the rest of the lads coming over. They had seen him crying and were worried about it, but when they got close they could see he was smiling. “Guys I would like you to meet my little babygirl.” smiled and showed the picture to them. “You’re a having a girl. That’s so great , congrats.” Mark smiled and hugged him. “Thanks mate.” He smiled “Now let’s go get this show started.” He ran the last bit. He was so happy right now. His little family was now what it should be, 2 girls and 2 boys. Now he just needed to get back. He thought there was a long time until the end of the show where he was gonna sing the song.

They got though the first 2 set’s and now came the set where they were gonna bring the kids on to the stage. walked over to get , , , , , and . He wasn’t fast enough to get a hold in . The little lad ran straight over to as soon as he saw him. heard the fans laugh about it. He picked up and waited for to come with the rest of the Westlife kids. He couldn’t believe that there was so many now and another 2 on the way.
“Daddy…!” they heard most of them yell. It was so fun when all of them were together. The lads always had a hard time telling who, yelled to who. It was always their wives who could do that, and they always thought they had married a bunch of kids who tried to act like men.
picked up and hugged him. was standing with and . looked a lot like . They had the same eye colour, same hair colour, same nose, same cheeks and same ears. But you could also see in him. The kid had his mothers face shape and the hair was thin and soft, where ’s was thick. looked like her mother. Big eyes, hair and rose cheeks. She had her dad’s smile.
’s girl was like seeing when he was a kid. Same hair, same chubby face and same way of talking
and looked like their mother and father. was a picture of and of his mum. They both had hair and eyes, just like their father.
looked like her mum more and more, where the boys started to look more after , but still you could see both of them in the kids. He hoped that the new baby girl was gonna look like her mother. Then if he and didn’t get back together, he still had two kids who looked liked her.
“Helllllllllo Dublin.” said in the mic. He let the fans scream and looked at his son, who was laughing about it. “I think you all know who this is.” He smiled. “, do you wanna say hi?” looked up at his father. He had his dad’s shyness. “Hi...” he said quietly in the mic. “So ...” smiled at his son, “Where is your baby sister?” looked around on the stage and over the lads. “There with .” He said. laughed and walked over to the 2 of them. “What’s her name?” he asked and smiled at the young kid. had always been a proud brother to his 6 month old sister. “.” He smiled and ran his fingers down her cheek.
“Let’s sing a song.” said in ’s mic. “Okay, what do you wanna sing?” laughed. looked at his brother and both of them started to sing
“Picture me all over you
Picture you all over me
Baby you're that star in my private movie
You stealing the love scene
Right out of my dream
We see the sun come up
The violins are playing
Girl we're making love
In my private movie”
looked shocked at his boys but then he started to laugh together with the lads and the fans. Everyone thought it was really cute. “Where did you learn that one?” kept laughing. The boys just looked at him with their twin smile. knew he couldn’t get them to say it right now, but one day he would.
“Well everyone, we would like to sing a song to these beautiful and loving kids.” smiled. He looked at his 3 kids and around the other 5 kids. “This song is one of our old ones, but with us on the road a lot, we all miss our families.” He looked at the crowd and saw standing together with his mum and dad. She was so beautiful. He always loved to see her pregnant. She had a special glow to her. He gave her a small smile and looked over the fans. “If you remember it, then please sing along.” He smiled and the music to I’m Already There began. walked out back with , because she was still too small to be on the stage when there was music.
When they were done with the song and the kids had said goodbye to the fans, walked backstage with all of them. He gave and a hug, and when he wanted to put down, the kid wouldn’t let go AGAIN. was starting to be upset about this. It broke his heart every time did this. “Look , daddy has to go back up on the stage now.” He said and looked in his son’s eyes, there was clouded with tears. “You are gonna be out in the crowd with mummy. And then daddy will be back to you soon.” He kissed him on the head and handed him over to the guys, who were taking the kids back to their families. He waved at him and walked back out on the stage.

When they were done with the show and walked backstage, the lads knew the fans would call them back up. Normally they wouldn’t do it, but today they had planned the last song. looked over at . “Are you ready mate?” just nodded and smiled. The truth was that he was really, really nervous about this. What if she took the song the wrong way and that he pushed her away forever? He sure hoped not.
When the lads walked back out on the stage, the fans went crazy. looked at his little family and saw and smiling up at him. was crying and trying to get up to him, but lucky that his dad was there to hold him and calm him down.
He was waiting for the fans to quiet down a bit, so that he could say this. After 5 minutes the fans went quiet and started speaking. The lads were standing around him, and he felt their hands on his back. This seemed to push him to say the things there were on his mind. “A few months ago I was heartbroken. You all know why. left me.” He took a deep breath and carried on “Well thanks to the lads I’m doing kinda okay again, and I would also like to thank each one of you for being there with kind words and letters.” He smiled at the crowd. “But about a month ago I wrote this song that we are gonna sing. It is really personal to me and I hope you like it. is gonna help me out.” He looked down in ’s eyes. He could see her tears and it broke his heart, “, this song I wrote to tell you my side.” He smiled at her and the music started to play. He took a deep breath and held the eye contact with her.

Watching the clock on the wall
Been a while since you called
I can’t help but wait
It’s late and I can’t get no sleep
Something’s different this time
It just doesn’t feel right
Have we broken in two?
I’m really gonna lose you tonight?
You come walking in
Tears in your eyes
Pretending like it’s alright

But I know you’re leaving
I know that smile
I can tell you’ve been crying
You’re gonna say goodbye
I wish I could stop you
But you’ve made up your mind
I beg you don’t go
But I already know you’re leaving

When took over, he had a hand on ’s shoulder. couldn’t keep his tears back no matter how hard he tried. And never once took his eyes of . He loved her so much and he wanted her to see that.

Where does the time go?
Between goodbye and hello
How did we come to this?
Is there something we missed along the way?
With your bags at the door
Wanna pull you in close
And hold you once more even though

I know you’re leaving (Yeah)
I know that smile (That smile)
I can tell you’ve been crying
You’re gonna say goodbye (Don’t say goodbye)
I wish I could stop you
But you made up your mind
I beg you don’t go
But I already know
I know you’re leaving

This part was hard. He knew that she would now know what he had been though with everything. He mouthed the words “I love you” to her and sang his bit

Here comes the sleepless nights
Here comes the tears I’m gonna cry
Here comes the last goodbye leaving us behind
Oh this can’t be right

I know you’re leaving
I know that smile
I can tell you’ve been crying
You’re gonna say goodbye
I wish I could stop you
But you made up your mind
I beg you don’t go
But I already know you’re leaving

When they were done singing, had so many tears rolling down his face that he just waved at the fans and ran off the stage. When he was backstage he fell to the floor and cried his heart out again. He would never be the same without her by his side. He knew that now, more than ever. He heard the lads saying goodbye to the fans and saw them walking over to him. and pulled him up and all 3 of them gave him a hug at the same time. He knew he had to pay back to his best friends at some point, even though they would tell him that it wasn’t a problem at all. But he couldn’t be happier about how good they had been taking this. He pulled out of the hug and smiled at them “Thanks lads.” He said. , and just smiled at him.
When they were just standing around and talking, saw the kids came running over to them. He smiled at his wife who was with them and who was carrying . “Hi babe” He smiled and kissed her. She handed to her dad and gave a hug, before she walked over to , who was being hugged by all 3 of his kids. “Hey ...” smiled at him. He stood up and welcomed the hug she gave him. “I was send here to tell you that is on her way to the hospital.” “WHAT!” yelled shocked “Why?” he asked. “She has gone in to labour. She didn’t really want me to tell you but then again she would. has gone with her.” gave her a hug and smiled at his friends. “I’m gonna be a daddy again.” He ran out the door, leaving the lads to take his kids with them.

Chapter 10

The hospital
He drove as fast as he could to the hospital. When he got there he just parked his car right outside the door. He didn’t care if he got a fin because of it. Right now his new babygirl was on her way. He ran up to the maternity ward and asked for , the nurse told him what room she was in and he ran down to her.
When he got to through the door he saw her laying on the bed, still with her big belly on. “What happened?” he asked and walked slowly over to her. When he got close he could see she was crying. He held her in his arms and calmed her down. He loved the feeling of holding her again. That was one of the many things he had missed about her. He knew that she maybe wouldn’t want to go back to him, but right now he didn’t care. He was here with her and waiting for the little one to come out in to the world.
When she was done crying, he slowly let go of her, but still held her hand. “What’s wrong babe?” he asked loving. She just looked at him with her eyes, that he loved so much. “That song...” she just said and broke down again. Once again he held her tight to him, “That was how I felt after you left me.” He said quietly, “And I’m still hurting over it, but I just can’t stop loving you because of it. You are my one and only . And I would love you till the day that I take my last breath, also if we are not together.” He pulled her away and looked in her eyes again. “Look... I know it is hard for you to go back home with the kids and me on the road, but I would quit the band if it means that I would get you back. I talked with the lads about it and they understand. They would do the same, even if it meant that we would lose what we have. The family always comes first. We all know that.” He took a deep breath and smiled at her “I love you and only you, okay? I would do anything to get you and the kids back. You guys are my life.”

She just looked at him, she knew that she loved him more than anything and she felt bad for taking his kids away from him. And ever since he sang that song she had been heartbroken. He was her life and soul. She put a hand on her tummy and felt the little one kick. She knew what she wanted to do, but could she ever live with her self if she told him to leave the band? She didn’t think so. But what then when the kids got older and stuff like that? She missed him more than anything. She looked in his deep eyes. “...” she whispered she knew she had to find the right words to say to him. “I love you so much but I don’t wanna be the reason to why Westlife broke up. It is your guys’ life, and you are right I knew what I walked into when I married you. But I still can’t live like this. It was great when the kids and I could go with you on tour, but now...” she looked away from his face. She hated to see the hurt that he had written all over it. If she listened closely, she could hear both their hearts break into a million tiny pieces. She felt the baby kick again. Maybe their unborn daughter tried to tell her something, she just didn’t know what. “ I love you okay? I had you before the band. The only thing I ask is to give me a new chance. I will do anything babe, please.” He cried now. He put his hand on her tummy and the baby kicked at the same time, that both of their hands were laying there. “ you are my life. You and the kids...” she was lost for words, now she understood her baby’s kicking. She wanted them to be together. She had felt how her mummy was heartbroken. thought of and too, they both took it all hard. was more used to it by now, but still she knew that this time was something different. “I would love to give you a chance , both for mine but also for the kids’ sake too. We love you, BUT...” she took his face in her hands and made him look at her. “I won’t let you leave the band. I couldn’t live with myself if you did. Cus I know I would lose you and I can’t go through that again. So please for my sake, don’t leave the band.” looked at her for a long time. He didn’t understand the words that she said. He felt like it was another language to him. He sooo wanted to hear those words for a long time now. But was she really saying what she did? Or was he dreaming? He came back to life when the baby kicked again. He looked at his beautiful wife. He could see in her eyes that she was afraid that she said it too late. He bended down and kissed her on the mouth for the first time in months. He pulled back a little and looked in her eyes to ask if it was okay. She smiled at him and he kissed her again with all the love that he held for her.

4 hours later
stood smiling all over his face. He was standing with his new babygirl for the first time. He thought back to the day where he thought that this would never happen, but now he was glad that he was wrong, plus he had his wife and kids back. He looked at and smiled at the tired women beside him. She was looking so happy up at him and their little girl. He bended down and kissed her a few minutes, when he broke away slowly he whispered “I love you so much and thank you.” He heard his daughter gave a little cry, he laughed and looked at her “Daddy loves you too.” and kissed her on her forehead. “My little miracle...” laughed at him “What??” he laughed and looked at her “She is. She didn’t want to come out until we were back together.” thought back to what the doctors said before she felt the urged to push. She had been fully opened for about one hour before the baby wanted to come out. The doctors were surprised about it, but after her and were done talking the baby pushed to come out. She was happy that was there all the way like he had been with the other 3.
