...shane...

...3 weeks later...
We had got the statement published and things had blown over a few weeks later. Ally and Bryan had moved back into their house last week, the fans had seemed to accept things after the statement being published, and some had even sent little baby gifts to the house. I think the turnaround from the fans was due to the honesty in the statement. Part of the reason that there was hate mail at first, I think was due to the lies that had been told. With all of that fuss over, we had decided to work on the new album. After a long day at the recording studio, the rest of the guys, Nat and Michelle all decided to go out for a drink. Bryan hadn't wanted to go, but we had all teased him, saying it would be god knows how long before he could have another night out with the lads, after the end of this month, because he would be too busy changing nappies. So, with that we had persuaded him to go. I decided not to go, but to stay behind at the studio and finish off one of the tracks.
I was getting ready to go home, when I noticed a mobile phone lying on one of the desks. It was Bryan's. "God.That guy's gonna forget his head one day." I laughed as I picked it up. I decided to drop it off to Ally at the house on my way home. I was driving along the road when Bryan's mobile started ringing. I pulled over to answer it. "Bryan?" I heard Ally say. "No, it's Shane. Bryan left his phone at the studio, I was just on my way to drop it off at you now." I replied. "God, is he still out with the others then?" "Yeah, what's wrong?" I asked, as I started the car again. "I really need to speak to him" "Hey, slow down. What's the matter?" I asked "Oh no - not" 'the baby isn't due for 3 weeks yet' I thought. "Yeah, can you come over?" She asked. "Yeah, I'm on my way now, ok?" I replied, as I started driving again. "Yeah" she said and hung up the phone.
I drove really fast to get to the house. I pulled into the driveway and ran inside. "Ally?" "In here!" She shouted, I followed the voice. "Thank God, you're here." She said, looking at me. "Umm, ok, let me think, hospital, fast!" I said, thinking out loud. "There's no time for that. It's just you and me on this one." She said, really panicked. "But I'm not a doctor!" I shouted. "You're not my first choice either!" She yelled, and then apologised immediately. "Look, remember I'm a paramedic, I'll talk you through it." "OK" I said and took off my jacket. "I'll call Bryan on one of the others mobiles, and tell him to get here."Ally nodded, then screamed, "I'll tell him to make it fast!"
Then we were off, and after the longest, and most nerve racking 30 minutes of my life, the baby finally made a very loud appearance. "Hey! It's a boy!" I said, while laughing. "Oh my god!" Ally whispered while looking at him. Just then I heard the others all run in the front door. "Did we miss it?!" Bryan shouted as he ran in the house. A loud scream from the new arrival answered him. "Oh God!" He said, as he turned round to face the others. "In here!" I called to him. I looked over at Ally and saw blood, what looked like a lot more than there should have been. "Ally?" I said, nudging her, but she wouldn't wake up."Call an ambulance!" I called out to the others. "OK!" Mark called back, "Is everything ok in there?" He asked. "Just call one!" I yelled back.
"Shane, what - ?" Bryan asked walking in the room. "Awwww, look at - ummm, is it a boy or a girl?" He asked, looking at the baby. "It's a boy," I said, smiling at him, "Meet your son." I said, as I handed him the baby, wrapped in a towel. "Is he ok? Why the ambulance?" He looked down at the little bundle, then noticed Ally lying unconscious. "What happened?" He asked as he walked over to her. "I - I don't know, she was ok a minute ago" I said. "I'll stay here and try and wake her, why don't you go and introduce the baby to the others." He hesitated a little, looking at the baby, then at Ally. "Go." I said touching his shoulder. "Everything will be ok." I said, praying silently to myself that it would be.
A few minutes later the ambulance arrived and took them both to hospital, both Bryan and I went in the ambulance. "Did I do something wrong?" I asked one of the doctors as they wheeled her into a room. "No, you did everything right." He said, reassuring me.Bryan walked over to the room, with the baby still in his arms. A doctor walked over to Bryan, spoke to him for a few minutes, then took the baby away from him and walked away.He stood there, still shocked by everything, I decided to talk to him. "Hey." I said, he looked up. "Where are they taking him?" "Umm, to get checked over, cleaned up, then they said they'll get a blanket and vest for him. They'll bring him back in a minute they said." He answered, we both sat down, as the others all came running down the hall.
"Hey, what's happening?" Nicky asked as he sat down beside Bryan and put his arm on his shoulder. "We don't know," Bryan sighed, looking at us all. Just then a nurse reappeared with the baby, wrapped in a blue blanket, and handed him back to Bryan, who started to cry a little. "Hey, what's his name?" Nat said, sniffing, trying to lighten the atmosphere a little. "Ummm, we hadn't decided yet, Funny but we both thought it was going to be a girl." He laughed a little, and looked down at the baby "Sorry little guy." "We can't just call him baby for the rest of his life." Kian said, and laughed, everyone else laughed, except Bryan. "How bout screamer?" Michelle said. "No, Junior." I said. The others nodded in agreement. "Junior it is then!" Bryan said, smiling at his son. "We can ask Ally about his name later," Mark said as he put his arm around Michelle, and reassured Bryan.
Just then, a doctor walked out of Ally's room. "I'm looking for Bryan McFadden?" He said, checking the name on the clipboard. "That's me." Bryan said, walking over. "I need to speak to you about what's happening with your girlfriend." He said. "Umm, ok" Bryan said. We watched as Bryan, the baby and the doctor all went into a separate room.

Chapter 23

...ally...
I woke up, and sat up. I looked around, and noticed a drip in my arm. I saw some flowers and teddies too on the side of the cabinet. I looked over and noticed Nat and Pnut both sitting in chairs. "Hey guys." I said, as they both looked up. "Welcome back!"Pnut said, as her and Nat walked over to me. "Thanks" I said, tiredly. "Who's all here?Has Bryan got the baby?" I asked, realising he wasn't in the room. "The lads are downstairs in the nursery feeding him, and probably teaching him the rules of football already." Pnut said, laughing. "Yeah, poor kid!"Nat said, laughing.
"Why don't we go and see how they are getting on? I've only seen the baby for a couple of seconds!" I suggested. "Yeah,but we should call a doc first for you." Nat replied. "I'm fine! Why am I in bed with a drip anyways?" I asked. "Oh, well, something happened and you lost a lot of blood, poor Shane blames himself I think." Pnut started, "but you look ok now. You were totally out of it yesterday.The drip's just to make up what you lost." "Yesterday?" "Yeah! God, like the baby was born two nights ago!"
"What? O.....k. I feel ok now though. Hungry and thirsty though!" I said, and I took the drip out of my arm. "Hey, you shouldn't - " "I'm ok. Now come on, I wanna see everyone!" I shouted, and grabbed a robe that was hanging on the door. And we all left to go down to the nursery.

...michelle...
We got there and looked through the little window, and I could see the guys all huddled round. They were all laughing about something. We walked in and stood watching them for a few seconds more, they never even noticed, because they were too busy feeding the baby. "Hey!" Ally said, walking over to the group, "What's going on?" "Ally!!! When did you wake up?!" Bryan asked, giving her a hug. "God, I was so worried." "I'm ok now!" She said, still hugging him. "Now, where's that boy?" "He's right here!" Nicky said, who was feeding him. "You wanna hold him?" "No, he looks happy with his uncle Nicky I think." Ally said, as she sat down next to them.
I noticed that Mark wasn't there. Then I heard him laughing in the room next door, it sounded as though he was flirting with someone, with some of the stuff he was saying. I opened the door to see him standing there, with just his t-shirt and boxers on, standing laughing with a female nurse. "What's going on Mark?" I asked him, it seemed obvious to me what was going on, maybe I had interupted something. "Oh, ummm." He couldn't tell me because they both started laughing. "Mark, I asked you a question!" I yelled. "It's not what it looks like!" "Umm, ok, you're standing here, flirting with a girl, wearing no trousers! Do I really need to go on, Mark, huh?" I stormed out of the door.
"Michelle?" Nat said, and followed me out. "What's wrong?" "Mark, him and that girl!" "What girl? The nurse? That's Shane's big sister, she works here!" Nat explained. "But...he - he had no pants on!" I yelled. Nat started to giggle, "Why is that so damn funny?!" "He had no pants on, because, oh, you won't believe me! Little Dylan threw up all down Mark's pants when he was feeding him!" She burst out laughing. "Dylan? What?" I said, confused. "Oh right, that's the baby's name, Dylan Shane." She explained, "Shane's sister was trying to find him spare pair of pants, that's all." "Oh, geez, I think I made a mistake." I said, and we walked back into the room." Maybe I should go and say sorry." "Maybe you should." Nat said, and giggled. "Geez, you sure got the wrong end of the stick there."
I walked over to Mark, "Can we talk?" "OK," he said, I laughed when I looked down and saw he was now wearing the bottom half of a pair of hospital pyjamas. " my pants are in the wash, they'll be ready in a half hour." He said, laughing, "Nat told you what happened?" "Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just wound up, you know with the past few days." "Yeah," he replied, and gave me a hug "we all are. But, god, you should've been there, you wouldn't believe how much he threw up! God, and that was only with half a bottle, poor Nicky, I think he might be next."he laughed, as we walked back over to the rest of the guys.
