Val walked with Shane through the parking lot towards the back entrance of the stadium holding Adam in her arms. Shane kept an arm around Val's waist as they walked in the hot Australian afternoon sun.

'This is one big ass stadium,' Shane commented, not hiding her surprise.'For a pop band they must be pretty good if they sell out these kind of stadiums.' Val smiled lazily at her wife.

'They must be. I mean boy bands like this are a major hit with teenagers.Hot on the market and good for business. We'll know soon enough what they're selling.'

When they neared the back entrance, Val saw Paul chatting to a few other security detail by the door. Paul was the only one she knew. He had been the one to pick her up at the airport and escort her to the hotel.

'Hey Paul,' Val greeted him. Paul turned and smiled at her.

'Hey Val,' he said in his usual cheerful tone. Then he looked at Shane.'You must be Shane,' Paul told her, extending his hand to Shane which she took and shook firmly. Paul turned his attention back to Val and looked at the little boy in her arms. 'And you must be Adam. Hey there little man how's it going?' Paul cooed tickling the little boy's tummy who in return giggled and squirmed in Val's arms.

'We're here to see the boys rehearse,' Val told Paul. 'Can we?' Paul nodded and pushed open the glass doors for them.

'Sure sure, go right in. They're back stage in the open area. They are late in starting as always. Can never get those boys on time for anything.They should be playing table tennis or kicking a ball around. It's what they do to chill. Unless they're playing Fifa and killing each other over it especially Niall and Louis. By the way how did it go with Harry and Louis this morning?' Paul asked her casually. Val pursed her lips. She didn't like discussing her people but she knew everyone here was worried about them and Paul had told her he was like a father to them.

'It went well,' Val told him with a smile. 'I'm just getting to know them and they are getting to know me. It takes a while to get a person to open up about personal issues that have emotional ties and they take a while to trust you.'

'You'll have Harry spilling his guts out to you in no time at all. He's like that. He can't hide his feelings or his emotions. That boy is too good for his own sake and for this world. He's such a good soul. I hate seeing him hurt. He doesn't deserve it. But Louis,' Paul paused,shook his head and chuckled. 'Louis is a different story. He's a sassy little shit but he has a good heart. Looks out for those he loves and fights for them till the death. He hurts as much as Harry does but he puts on that front, try to make himself untouchable and like he's alright, which by the way he fails miserably at. Still he tries. He thinks we don't see or notice. Hell even the fans notice but if it works for him and he copes who am I to say otherwise?Still, I don't think it's healthy for him. Really sad what happened to him. They're like my kids and it...' Paul trailed off as his voice broke. Val squeezed his arm.
