Ch53 Life goes on

I start my writing year is 2011 and I'm going to wind down my story here. Truly there is no ending to this. Beth and I had finally did our wedding sharing it with my parents in 2007. About a few months or a year after Lauren and Ricks wedding. We made it a big three day celebration.

We were also celebrating the fact that Sav's divorce was final. On the third day of the celebration we ended it in Sheffield with Sav and Paige getting married at city hall. He only had Beth, his mom, Paige of course, and I present. Beth and I decided to stop letting Bell come in between us. She was growing up and we decided to just cut the strings so to speak.

Bell and Rory ended things when Bell stood up for herself one day. I can't actually remember the day to well. I know it was some that year. Rory wanted Bell to come to the states and Bell stood her ground saying Dublin was her home. She really loved the B&B. She lived there on her own and I was proud that she wanted to run the family business so to speak.

Beth still worked there whenever I was on tour. After our album X we left record company that got us started. Peter wasn't too happy about that. We did it for good reasons. They wanted us to start turning into a cover band.

I was totally against it but we did the cover album for them before we left. I thought it was a mistake but we kind of added our own Def Leppard feel to the music like the song 'No matter what' and 'Rock on'. It was a big change.

Beth and I fought less. We started taking on Rick and Laurens little therapy. I got more time off and our tours got shorter once Anita got pregnant. Phil and her had a little girl sometime in 2008 I believe. Lauren started her own band with Rick. He was happy to back her up by playing drums and they did their little drum therapy thing around the world.

I never had seen him so happy. With our tours being shorter we only toured during the summer months. At first I was a bit depressed but after awhile I had more time with Beth and the kids. My back started getting worst to the point I couldn't hardly move.

Finally around Christmas of 2008 Beth walked up to me and said, "That's it. Joe if you don't either go see a specialist or get that disk surgery for your back I..." I grabbed her and pulled her to me in pain.

"Ok you win I'll go."

"Really."

"Really. As a matter of fact I got an appointment after new years." She looked at me and I just rubbing my hands up and down her. "I swear. I have been in so much pain."

"Ok Oi hate seeing you in pain." We kissed and the timer went off for our Christmas dinner along with the doorbell. I let her go hearing Kyra running screaming 'Ty.' "Sav's here. Paige oh..." Beth hugged Paige when she walked in.

Even though Sav moved back to Sheffield they still come over for the holidays. Occasionally the rest of the guys would drop in every so often. We always had a house full during the holidays. I walked out into the living room and about fell over when I seen Sav.

"Good god man. What did you do to your hair?" I said seeing his hair was bleach blonde now. He gave me one of his crocked smiles which wasn't so crocked as much. "See your Bells is finally going away."

"Yep. Up to almost 90% back to normal. It's great. I was growing tired of the gray that was coming in so I dyed me hair." I couldn't help but laugh When Phil, Vivian and Rick came in they couldn't help but laugh as well.

During Christmas dinner I couldn't help but notice that Beth seemed different somehow. Sav must have noticed as well. "Beth is everything alright. You seem different." Sav said. Everyone looked at her and then looked at me.
