Bella looked at Paige confused, mouthing "what is he doing?". Paige just smiled at Bella and hugged her tight.
"You all know by now that I have a girlfriend. You all know that her name is Bella."
"Yeah, and if you don't know this shit then where the fuck have you all been?!" Jack shouted and the crowd laughed.
Alex laughed along before straightening. "No seriously. I am madly in love with this girl and like I said, I have some very special news that I would like to share with all of you here tonight. So, Bella. If you wouldn't mind, please come out on to the stage."
"And you too, Paige!" Zack requested.
"And Paige! Which you all know is Zack's girlfriend! Show them some love and make them feel welcome, you guys!" Alex looked over at Bella, who looked extremely confused. She covered up her bump with her cardigan and reluctantly followed Paige on to the stage, as she pulled her along by the hand. Paige went and stood next to Zack, greeting him with a kiss, and smiling cheekily as everyone but Bella, knew what was about to happen.
Bella stood in front of Alex and held the hand that he had outstretched, smiling warily. In his other hand, he held his microphone and faced Bella. "So as you know, I am very, very madly in love with this girl. And I would do anything for her. Including.." He paused and waited for the crowd to be quiet. They did so and he continued. "..including being a Father." The crowd went wild and Jack motioned for them to be quiet. They followed instruction. "Which is why I have brought her out on stage tonight, so that you can all welcome my twenty one week pregnant girlfriend. I wanted you guys to all be the first to know. You're our fans and we like to include our fans. So everyone! I'm gonna be a Daddy!" He screamed as he leaned forward and kissed Bella passionately, almost knocking her backwards. Bella looked at him with a tear in his eye. She could tell how happy and proud he was and it was the cutest thing ever. She gave him a look that asked him if he was done. He didn't reply.
Instead, he continued talking.
"Now, that's not all. Now that everyone knows she is pregnant, with my child. That is why.." Alex knelt down on one knee, and Bella gasped, still holding his hand. She started to cry as the whole crowd squealed in a mixture of excitement and anticipation, as flashes filled the room. "Isabella Olivianna Stitham. I love you 'til the death, more than anything ever. I will love our child as much as I love you, in fact it will be a hard competition choosing between the two of you. But I will love you both anyway. You're my piece of heaven and coming home to you after a long day at the studio, or a long tour, makes everything all that little bit more worth it. Isabella. Bella. Miss Stitham." Bella tried to glare at Alex, giving him a warning, but she failed through the tears. "Will you do me the honour of becoming Mrs Gaskarth? Will you spend the rest of forever with me? Miss Stitham, will you marry me?" He held her hand and Rian ran up to them from behind his drums, with a tiny black velvet box.
Alex took it and thanked Rian, opening it up in front of Bella, and smiling with what Bella swore was a tear in his eye, although he would probably deny it and say that it was sweat. She looked at the ring as it sparkled in the numerous lights around the room. She looked at Alex, who was looking at her so lovingly and hopefully. She looked at Paige and Zack, who stood there and gave her a wink.
She looked back down at Alex and burst into tears.

I just read this story and its prequel and sincerely loved them both. You're an amazing writer, and these stories dealt with a lot of emotions, ranging from sad to loving and I just really enjoyed them both. You captured both of these themes really well. It took me a few chapters to get into the first story, but once I did, I was hooked and just kept reading until I finished this one. All within... two days I believe, I just couldn't stop reading it.
Even though it's been a few years since you've posted them, I just thought I would leave a comment and let you know I really enjoyed them. Great job with them. Just wanted to show people like me are still stumbling across them and enjoying them. <3
I'm bummed to see you haven't written anything else; if you ever choose to one day, let me know and I will for sure read what you have. You're a very talented writer and I would love to read more of your writing. No pressure though, lol.
