| ...ally... I woke up the next morning, surprised to see Bryan still sleeping, and even more surprised to see Dylan still sleeping too. I decided to get dressed and go and get breakfast, then see Nicky and G, because I wanted to tell them what had happened the night before. I was just about to leave when I heard Bryan waking up. "Where are you going?" He asked, yawning. "To get breakfast." I answered. "Hold on, I'll come with you." "No, you stay here with Dylan." I said, "I'll only be 10 minutes, ok?" He nodded and lay down again. I walked out of the door and went towards the lift, only to meet Nicky who was also on his way downstairs. "Morning." He said, with a grin on his face. "Morning," I replied, grinning back at him, "oh, I said yes by the way." "Oh!congratualtions!"he said, and gave me a hug. "Oh, Bry said it's ok to tell G, as long as you don't tell the others, ok?" He nodded. "Hey, do you want to join us for breakfast in our room?" "Yeah, sure. Hold on, I'll tell G to get dressed and meet us there in 10 minutes." "Yeah, I'll tell Bry." I answered, and we walked up to the rooms again. Ten minutes later we were back in the room having breakfast, when suddenly G said "ok, something's going on here." "Well, we're getting married!" Bry said. "OH MY GOD!" G squealed and hugged us both. It was hard keeping it from the others for the rest of the 3 weeks of the tour, and secretly I think they had guessed something had happened, because G kept grinning at me. On the last day of the tour, the guys were at an interview and photoshoot again. Me and the others decided to go for a walk in the town centre and get some shopping.. "Ally?" G said, "whats wrong?" "Huh?" "You've not been yourself these past few days. Everything ok?" "I'm fine, just tired, it's a lot with all this travelling." I explained. "Sure." She said, unconvinced, "I think there's something else." "Like what?" I stopped walking, letting Pnut and Nat walk on ahead with Dylan. "Well," she started, "you seem really tired, you passed out yesterday...." "How do you know about that?" I asked, keeping my voice low. "Bryan told me, he's worried." She explained. "He what?! Has he been telling you guys anything else behind my back?!" I yelled. "Oh yeah, now you're flying off the handle at the slightest thing." She grinned. "Well? Are you?" "Am I what?" By now Pnut and Nat had realised we weren't beside them and had walked back over to us. "What's going on?" Pnut asked. "I think Ally might have something to tell us.." G said, and everyone turned and looked at me. "Well, I don't know yet, maybe." I smiled weakly. "I knew it!" G cried, "congratulations!" "Yeah!" Nat cried. "When will you find out?" Pnut asked. "I'll see a doctor after the tour's over, when we're back home. Look, don't mention this, I haven't told Bryan yet." "Ok," they all agreed. "You could find out today..." Pnut started. " I guess.." I had been trying to put this all to the back of my mind for the past week. After an afternoons shopping, we all agreed to head back to the hotel, I was really tired because we had been walking all day and the weather was really hot too. I slowly walked into the room and placed Dylan in his bed, because he was sleeping. I took out the box I had bought and read the instructions. ...ronan... I was sitting in the hotel lobby when the girls came back from the days shopping trip. Nat, Michelle, and G all decided to go for a swim in the hotel pool, while Ally was going to put Dylan down for a nap, and then said that she wanted to start packing some stuff, as we were flying back to Dublin the next night. I decided to go and talk to Ally to find out if things were ok between her and Bryan, given the circumstances under which she had joined the tour. I walked up to the door and knocked quietly. "Who's there?" She asked, her voice was shaky. "It's Ro! Can I come in?" "Yeah, hold on a second." A few minutes later, she opened the door. "Hey Ro." "Hey," I started, then I realised that she had been crying, " what's the matter?" "Nothing." "Ally, don't lie to me....has Bryan did something?"i asked, worried that he had found out everything. "No, but God Ro, this is big..." She sighed. I walked over and sat beside her on the bed. "You wanna tell me about it?" "Ok," she said, "god, how do I put this?" "Spit it out!" I laughed, then turned serious. "I'm pregnant Ro." She said quietly, obviously not happy about it. "Hey, that's great news!" I said, and gave her a hug. "No, it's not." "How come?" I asked, puzzled. After all she and Bryan already had one child so they both knew what was involved. "I can't keep it." She said, and started to cry. "What?" This was totally unexpected. "Why not?!" I found myself raising my voice a little, abortion was something I did not agree with. "It might not be Bryan's. You remember what happened between me and Derek..." "Oh god, Ally.." I whispered. "Please, don't do this, think about it." I took a deep breath. "Look, Ally, you know how much Bryan has wanted his own baby since Dylan was born, could you live with yourself if you denied him this!" "No, but -" "Then don't!" She was quiet for a few minutes, thinking the whole thing over. "Ok, but don't tell anyone, please." She said. "I won't." I sighed, I just hoped she wasn't lying about keeping the baby. "Look, get some sleep, you'll think clearer after that." "Yeah." She sighed, and stood up. "I'll see you later, thanks Ro." "It's ok. See you later,I'll tell Bry not to wake you when he gets back." I smiled at her, she smiled weakly, and I walked out, hoping that things would work out alright. |
