Two months went by and the tour had ended. Alea was now eight months into her pregnantcy. The guys and Shleby were planning on touring together in four more more months. Nick and Shelby were now at TRL with Carson.

*Nick*
"Welcome Shelby Cholson and Nick Carter!" Carson greeted us as we walked up to him.
"Hey, hey!" Shelby smiled into the microphone.
"Howdy!" I said waving.
"So, Shelby, you were the Backstreet Boys' opening act. Was it cool touring with them?" Carson asked.
"Oh, yeah! It was a blast!" she answered him entusiactically.
"Cool. I heard you two wer close friends when you were younger."
"Yeah. That was until I left for BSB, but we're friends again!" I responded.
"Did you two ever like hook up?"
"No! No...God no!" Shelby replied and I looked at her disappointed. I loved her so much. She meant everything to me! At that moment I made up my mind that I WAS going to tell her about how I felt.
"That answers that question then!" Carson laughed. "Do you have a boyfriend then, Shleby?"
"No. I'm kind of trying to focus on my music career right now, but if a guy comes along, definitely!"
"What 'bout you, Nick? Have a girl?"
"Uh...no, but there is someone I have an intrest in," I grinned referring to Shelby.
"Care to share?"
"I'd rather not say!" I blushed.
"Aww! A rare moment! Nick's blushing!" Shelby giggled.
"Shelby!" I whinned.
"Nick!" she mocked me.
"That's enough you two!" Carson laughed. "Coming up next the last two requests. The battle of BSB and SC. Who will be number one? Stay tunned to find out!"

"Ha, ha! I beat you guys!" Shelby bragged as her mom drove us back to the hotel.
"So! We beat you yesterday!" I shot back.
"You guys sould like brother and sister!" Alea said from the passengar seat.
"Nut uh!" Shelby disagreed. "I'd rather be his girlfriend then his sister!"
"Are you hinting something?" I joked.
"Maybe!" Shelby smiled while blushing. "Hey mom, can you drop us off at that pizza place over that, please?" she pointed to a Pizza Hut on a corner of a street.
"Okay." Ms. Cholson pulled up beside the sidewalk and we hopped out. We started to walk into Pizza Hut when we heard screeching breaks tires and turned around. A semi rammed right into the car Shelby's mom and sister were in.
"Ohmigod!" Shelby screamed burying her head in my chest as the smie pushed the car into a building.
"Someone call an ambulance!" I heard someone yell and Shelby started running to the accident scene.
"Mom! Alea! The baby! God!" she cried beating on teh hood of the car.
"Shelby, come on. Wait till the police get here." I put my hands on her shouldders and sh shrugged them off. Police and paramedics came rushing over to us and I stood back.
"Excuse me miss, but you have to stand aside," an officer went up to her.
"That's my mom and pregnant sister in there!" Shelby yelled.
"I'm sorry, but you have to stand back." I made my way over to her and grabbed her hand.
"Come on, Shel. Let them do their job," I pursuaded and she followed me to te police car.
"How about I get your statements and you can sit in here. By the say I'm Officer Marcel," the same policeman as before said opening he back door for us to get in.
"Do you have a blanket?" I asked since Shelby was shaking like crazy.
"Yeah." He handed me one and I wrapped it around her pulling her close to me. Once we both gave our statements we sat in the car talking until the two ambulances statred pulling away.
"What hospital are they going to?" Shelby asked through tears.
"St. Peter's. I can take you," Marcel replied starting his car.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Shelby grumbled and he turned on this sirens before rushing us the hospital.
***********************************************************************************************
Two hours had went byt and we were waiting in the waiting room with the rest of the guys. Shelby was leeping with ther head on my lap curled up in a blanket. I felt so bad for her. Her mom and sister were all she had. Well, excepter for her dad who she hadn't seen since she was five. A doctor started making his way over to us and I woke her up.
"You're Shelby Cholson, correct?" he said sitting beside her. "I'm Dr. Rodfer. You mother and sister both suffered severe internal injuries. I'm sorry but we weren't able to save them. We did manage to save the baby. It's a healthy little boy, but he needs a name. Do you wish to keep him?"
"YES!" Shelby answered instantly with tears pouring fro her eyes.
"All right. Got to the nursery when you're ready and tell then Cholson baby." He stood up. "Again, I'm sorry." She burst into tears and buried her head in the nap of my neck. I rocked her back and forth whispering soothing words in her ear as she sobbed.
"Nick, we're going to go the cafateria," Kevin said standing up.
"Okay." I nodded as they all left the waiting room.
"Nick?" she mumbled looking up at me. "I wanna go see my nephew."
"Go ahead. I'll be here."
"No. I want you to come with me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Please?" she asked grabbing my and tugging on it.
"Okay." I followed her down the hallway to the nursery.
