had been living at Dublin for ages with here friends. Every weak she goes out, she worked at the Dublin’s most public’s place, the Guinness Storehouse, and at the night she worked at the pub. After her working day she goes to her other job, she needed the money, she wasn’t a rich girl who just had all the money and could spend it at every bar. She was tired but she needed the money because Christmas was on its way and she wanted to give her boyfriend a nice trip together. Just a romantic holiday, her boyfriend may have a lot of money and he didn’t know of her second job but she didn’t want to live on his pocket, she was just a women who needed to work for money. When she met Nicky at the Gift shop of the Guinness Storehouse with his mates she liked him already, of course she knew him from Westlife and they where dating already a couple years, the press was always very nice to them and left them alone when they asked them, even they knew she was a hard worker. She came in the pub and saw her mates flirting with some guys. ‘, you’re standing in the VIP today’ she heard her boss saying. nodded and walked to the VIP area, she knew something was different, her boss was never friendly and let her never stay at the VIP area but she knew something had changed her mind when she walked in and saw Nicky, Shane, Mark, Kian & Brian standing with a big smile. ‘Surpriseeee’ they called at her. ‘yeah surprise for what? It’s not my birthday?’ Shane looked weird at his mates. ‘it isn’t?’ nodded her head and couldn’t’ stop laughing. ‘no, my birthday is just in February, my granddad is today, 84’ she sighed. ‘Then let’s bring your granddad here’ he smiled at her. ‘yeah, well, if you see him say hello from me but please make sure you come back from heaven, will yeah?’ she laughed. ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t know he was gone’ Shane hugged her. ‘well, next year it is 10 years ago and I was a little girl, so don’t worry’ she smiled. ‘so want anyone something to drink?’ Kian smiled. ‘just a Guinness would be good for all of us’ he laughed. Nicky was proud on his girl, he knew it wasn’t her birthday and just wanted to see her smile after a lot of complicated things. ‘So now guys seriously, why is this surprise for?’ she smiled and looked deep in Marks’s blue eyes. ‘tell me Mark, I bet ya wanna tell me you can’t never lie to me’ she smiled and looked for something. ‘well, Nicky learned it to me, sorry I don’t buy on it this time’ looked at Nicky and walked to him and kissed him. ‘Well.. explain Mr. Byrne because you know it isn’t my birthday?’ Nicky nodded his head and kissed her softly back. ‘I love you with all my heart, babes’ he smiled. ‘see you’re goanna propose me, right?’ she laughed because she knew it was too early to do that. ‘yeah, ya wanna marry than?’ he winked. ‘who knows what I want?’ she smiled with a bad look. ‘you want to tell me something, missy?’ he laughed. ‘I just was thinking more about living together, could it be possible?’ he asked her softly so the other lads didn’t hear him. ‘I’m sorry baby, could you ask that louder? I’m a bit deaf and since when do you know that I’m working her?’ she asked him playfully. ‘Your mate were worried about you’ he smiled. looked weird at him. ‘is that so? Why are they worried so much than?’ she hadn’t much friends since she lived in Dublin but the friends who she had where always worried about her. ‘Because you work so hard babes, you’ve got two jobs, you don’t have even time to spend with me’ he stroke her cheek and smiled to her. ‘but that’s because I’m planning something for Christmas’ she answered him. ‘What is it then that you work so hard?’ sighed and looked him. ‘I Just want to give you something that you deserve and not with your money Nicky, I love you but I want to give something you always remember like a memory that we shared and can tell our kids later how it was like that way’ she said with tears. ‘I Think our kids and even me would love it more that you didn’t work so hard and could spend some more time together so we can raise them and not thinking of them’ he laughed and kissed her, ‘and please don’t cry I’m not angry, it was a question’ he smiled at her. ‘I know, I’m lately just a bit of emotional I guess’ she sighed and wiped her tears away. ‘you’re sure?’ Nicky asked her concerned. nodded and smiled at him. ‘So, when do you have time to pack your stuff and move in with me?’ he asked her. ‘What? I mean, I, I don’t know when I’m free?’ she bit on her lip scared for his reaction. ‘well, then you’re free today and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow etc. because you’re so tired and emotional restless so do it for us, please?" He begged her. sighed and nodded finely. ‘Let’s go home and pack your stuff because now Christmas is coming I really need my girl around me’ he said with a wink. ‘for what?’ she asked him. ‘To make babies’ he joked at her. ‘Already… aren’t ya a little too fast for that?’ she laughed. ‘too bad..’ he smiled. ‘what, do you want them right now then?" She looked surprised at him. Nicky hugged here. ‘I don’t know, that’s all up to mother nature and you’ he smiled at her. ‘you’re acting weird.. do not tell me that you are pregnant of an alien or something..’ she laughed. ‘Nah.. I was hoping you were’ he kissed her and let her go. ‘How, I mean why do you think I’m pregnant then?’ she looked surprised at him. ‘because the last time we didn’t get any protection, and you’ve got already mood swings’ he laughed. ‘you don’t think you’re acting a bit strange..? mood swings, tired, miserable, all that stuff?’ Nicky asked her. ‘I’ve never thought of pregnancy, thought more it was a flue or something’ said loud out thinking. ‘Possible, why don’t we find out?’ shook her head and smiled. ‘no, let’s find it out at Christmas so you’ve got a nice Christmas gift or not’ she joked. ‘well, you’ve already cut off my Christmas list’ he smiled. ‘Already huh, how’s that possible?’ she laughed. ‘Just that you want to move in with me is my best Christmas gift ever’ he smiled proudly. ‘you’re so sweet, you’re perfect’ she was a girl who’d been really lucky to have Nicky as boyfriend, many fans are jealous on that, she was aware of that. After a couple of weeks finally Christmas was there. had already moved in with Nicky and she knew just the right thing to give Nicky, the best gift. Both haven’t spoke about pregnancy, it just was Christmas they both worked hard and knew she was late and bought a pregnancy test and she knew already that she was pregnant, Nicky was right but that’s what he would find out soon. She put the test back in its box and put some Christmas paper on it and waited till Nicky was awake. ‘Morning beauty’ she heard a croaky voice behind her. ‘Hey love, morning, happy Christmas’ she smiled and kissed him. ‘so do you’ Nicky kissed his girlfriend long. ‘Nicky?’ she looked with a innocent look. ‘yeah?’ your favourite shirt is, I think, a little bit too small’ she said carefully and gave him his shirt. ‘A little bit too small? It looks like a baby size’ he said a little angrily and looked at her. ‘how could you do that to my favourite shirt?’ he asked her angrily. ‘it wasn’t my fault..’ she said a little shy. ‘than whose fault it is?’ he looked angrily at her. ‘your blow-dryer’ she smiled but knew he was angry. ‘yeah and who put in the blow-dryer?’ he looked still angry. ‘it's not funny you know, I’m angry at you’ he said mad. ‘I know but, let’s make it a great Christmas alright, just scream, yell, do whatever you want at me tomorrow but Christmas is about giving and forgiving’ she said wise. ‘you’re right, don’t you think I’ll forget it tomorrow’ he said still a little angrily with a little smile on his face. ‘Ohh you will’ she laughed. ‘what makes you so sure about that?’ he asked her confused. kissed him and smiled. ‘let’s say I’ll make it up to you?’ Nicky laughed and looked at the presents. ‘you’ve had a lot of fun huh, with shopping?’ Nicky looked at 2 small package with his name on it. ‘yeah I thought you did not want so many stuff?’ she laughed. ‘I’ll promise ya, you will like it’ she smiled. ‘I hope that for you’ he said with a deep sigh. He opened his first presents it was a envelop with two small things in it. ‘what is it?’ he looked at her. ‘your such a dumb kiddo’ she joked and kissed him. ‘those two are tickets, you know, for flying to Hawaii’ she grinned. ‘so this is the present you work so hard for?’ he asked her. nodded and was leaning against him on the couch. ‘women..’ he said with a grin’. ‘c’mon open up the next one’ she said. Nicky took the other one and was shaking with it. ‘yes, got something like a real present?’ he laughed and opened up. ‘what is this?’ he said while he was opening it. ‘it’s a pregnancy test’ she said with a soft voice. ‘you mean like, I’m goanna be a dad?’ nodded and smiled. Nicky jumped up and hugged her. ‘Marry me’ he blurted out of happiness’. looked at him. ‘What?" she laughed at him. Nicky was kneeling and took her hand. ‘I said, will you marry me?’ 's mouth fell open in shock. ‘yes I want to but’ Nicky kissed her before she would say anything more and took a little box that was standing under the tree and put a ring on her finger. ‘Nicky, wow it’s so beautiful I never noticed that you’ve got such a good taste’ she teased him. ‘Thank you, well I’ve got a little help from the lads to be honest with ya’ he teased her back. ‘Like I wouldn’t know that you’re always planning things months ago’ she smiled. She knew this was her best Christmas ever and the last Christmas she was alone with Nicky for now.
