Life Is A Rollercoaster (Ronan Keating / Boyzone / X Factor) fan fiction

Sixty Two

We were sat at home about two months later with Louis who was now my manager as well as Ronan's. we were discussing future tour plans. "Now what about backing singers?"

I laughed out loud. Louis looked at me as if I was mad, so I told him the story about Laura coming to the house and me sending her packing. "I didn't tell you before because Ronan thought you'd be pissed off that she came to the house"

"Damn right I would've been"

"Now where were we...?"

We spent a couple of hours making plans. I still had difficulty believing that I was about to embark on my own tour, with no reference to the X Factor whatsoever.

Don't get me wrong, I was grateful to the show that had made me. But it was nice to be recognised as a credible artist in my own right.

Hearing "Hey aren't you that girl that won the X Factor?" got a little annoying after a while...

The following day Ronan was having lunch with Michael Graham, one of his former Boyzone bandmates. He'd wanted me to go and meet Mike with him, but I hadn't been able to reschedule my appointment with Louis, where I was planning to tell him my pregnancy news.

We had wasted no time once we'd discovered that I wasn't actually pregnant to try and make it actually happen. Luckily we both young and luck seemed to be firmly on our side and it hadn't taken us long to discover that I was expecting.

"Hey babe"

I hadn't long got in myself when Ronan walked through the door.

"So how did it go?"

"I chickened out. He doesn't need to know for a few months, but when he does find out he's gonna kill me!" I mused

"Nah he's not! But are you sure you'll be up for a tour?"

"Oh Ro, don't panic it's only going to be for two months"

"Yeah but...."

"Alright" I said suddenly having an idea, "Why don't you come on tour with me?"

He smiled at me.

"Or....how about you come on tour with me?"

Hmmm that sounded better, less work for me. He came closer to me and put his hand on my still flat stomach. "Or how about we call Louis and tell him we're going tour together?"

I looked at him and put my hand over his. "All of us?" I whispered.

"Yeah, we could call it the Keating tour..."

"I like the sound of that" I said.

"Right, I'm going back out to meet Mick again this evening for a drink, do you fancy coming with me?"

"Sure why not"

I tried to play it down, but I was stupidly excited about meeting Ro's former bandmate.
