Who's the real you?

Chapter Seventeen

June 1995

Six months with Harley in her arms had flown by, not only did Hannah have to deal with her newborn baby; alone, but she also had to figure out how to plan a concert. She was thankful to have Oliver by her side and his smarts for finding the right people to assist putting together the concert.

Hannah hadn't told Alytain that she wasn't taking full control over the concert but rather just letting Oliver and his team sort out what needed to be done, Oliver recommended Hannah just step back and look after Harley while Alytain put the finishing touches on his new album.

Hannah kissed the top of her son's head as she gently laid him down in his crib, she held her breath as she slowly backed out of the baby's room. She gently closed the door before letting out her breath, she even let a yawn escape as she felt exhaustion hit her.

She let exhaustion hit her as she held onto the stair rail to stop her stumbling down the stairs.

Hannah allowed herself to shuffle down to Alytain's home studio, she opened the door of the studio, letting the music hit out into the lower half of the house.

She wondered down into the home studio before allowing herself to sit on the purple lounge she had rarely seen.

Hannah looked up and watched as Alytain stood in the recording booth, she watched as the recording mixer touched a few different dials, she had no idea what was happening but didn't care as she laid back comfortably on the lounge.

"Yep, that sounds good." Alytain's voice escaped through the studio.

Hannah watched silently.

"We're all set for the 23rd." Spoke the recording mixer.

"Thanks Dave." Alytain took off his headphones, he noticed Hannah laying down on the lounge. He smiled a little "Give us a sec."

Dave turned around in his chair as he noticed how exhausted Hannah looked "I'll just grab a bite. Sing out when you need me." He rose up from his seat as Alytain made his way out of the recording booth.

Dave headed upstairs.

Alytain knelt down by Hannah's side "Everything's flying."

"I know." Hannah let exhaustion soak through her tone.

"Concert begins the 6th of July, album drops the 23rd of June."

Hannah nodded slightly.

"You and Harley are still coming right?"

Hannah sighed a little "Harley's not."

"Babe."

"Alytain, his only a baby. I don't want to risk it."

Alytain positioned himself comfortably on the floor by Hannah's side "Belle. Come on, this will be my first tour with my family. It'll be an experience."

"Dad said he'll look after Harley."

"Belle."

Hannah rested her eyes for a second.

"Please, Belle."

Hannah opened her eyes slightly "Two nights than Harley's going to dad's."

"Two nights." Alytain sounded like he wasn't going to keep that promise.
