The Glory Of Love - Timmy Matley

Chapter 20

*5 months later*

It was Olly's 6th birthday today. He was still staying with you and Timmy because Poppy was still in America, she said she was sorting things out but you though different. For his birthday you and Timmy had taken him out to the local zoo as he's been fascinated by animals recently, and then The Overtones had a big show at the London Palladium in the evening, so Timmy had sorted you and Olly special tickets out to go and watch it.

"Thanks everyone!" Mike shouted. You'd seen the show so many times, you knew they were all going to run off stage, as were the band, to change into their identical outfits before performing the last three songs. Apart from this time they didn't run off, just stood there grinning and catching their breath, waiting for the cheers to die out.

"Shhhhh a bit guys, we have some announcements" Mark said smiling and nudging Darren, urging him to say something which they'd obviously planned.

"Erm, today there's a very special boy here who means a lot to all of us, and it's a very special day for him today. But he means a lot more to one of us than he does to anyone else." Darren said, looking over to Timmy.

Lachie walked to the edge of the stage and climbed off the edge, all eyes were on him as he looked at the palm of his hand and murmured something that sounded like a seat number to himself before looking up. I immediately knew what was happening here, they could have told me though, then I'd of made sure Olly was sat on the side closest to the isle. Lachs jogged over to our rows of seats.

"Oliveeeeer" he called, holding out his hand, I stood up and urged Olly to go with him.

"[YN]? We're going to need you as well hun" he winked.

Me? But why did they want me? What was going on? Ok they probably just wanted me to help out with what they were about to do. I reassured myself before walking over to Lachie and Olly and walking up onto the stage with them. When I was at the edge of the stage Lance grabbed my arm, "Not you just yet [YN], they need Olly on his own first" he smiled offering me his seat at the side of the stage, just behind the curtain. I watched as Timmy picked up Olly up and swung him around. "Everyone, as a lot of you know, this is my little boy, Olly, and today is a very big day for you isn't it little man?" Timmy said, holding the microphone up to Olly, who didn't say anything, just stood there and looked out at the hundreds of people who were watching.

"Stage fright" Mark said crouching down next to him and whispering something into his ear.

"Let's hope he doesn't want everyone to turn their backs to the stage" Darren joked, winking at Timmy who gave him a harsh look. The audience laughed and Olly looked up at Mark who'd finished whispering.

"Ok" Olly laughed, hi fiving Mark and hugging him.

Mark looked over at Mike and mouthed 'think of something'.

"Today everyone, is believe it or not, Olly's birthday! Isn't it squirt?" he said looking over at Olly who was still standing with Mark crouched next to him. He looked over at Mike, then looked out into the audience and nodded shyly.

"And how old are you today then?" Mark asked, picking him up and holding his microphone out.

"Six" Olly said into the mic quietly.

Everyone awwww'ed as Timmy took him from Mark and gave him a big squeeze.

"Soooo, guys, we want you to help us sing a little song for Olly. Can you do that?" Lachie shouted.

Everyone, cheered and called out 'yes'. Timmy was about to say something when Darren cut in.

"But does everyone know what song it is?"

"Course they do. Darren." Mark laughed pushing him.

"Ok everyone, after 3. 1..... 2...... 3!!!!" Mike shouted. And everyone in the room sang Happy Birthday to Olly, who was beaming and going red.

The boys stood in a half semi circle and Timmy put Olly down and told him to go and stand with Mark when the whole audience went silent again.

"Right guys, there's also someone else here tonight who's very special to all of us, especially me." Timmy grinned, walking over to where I was sitting.

"She started out as just an intern, helping us out on our German tour" Darren continued,

"And then she got stuck in Germany with Timmy" Mark laughed,

"But once they were back she stayed with us even longer, and eventually became our group assistant, going everywhere with us, helping us with everything." Lachie said.

"And through it all she and Timmy grew very, very close, everyone, we'd like you to meet [YN]" Mike finished off.

Timmy grabbed my hand and pulled me out centre stage as the audience clapped and the other boys all held their fingers to their lips, quietening everyone down.

"[YN], since the first day we met, I knew I loved you, we've had our ups and downs yeah, but we've got through it together, and I just love you so much, I can't live without you. That's why I've brought you up here tonight, not to tell you that, because I know you know that but to ask you something, and I know we haven't been together as long as most people would before they ask this but [YN]..." He got down onto one knee.

"Will you marry me?" He asked pulling out a beautiful diamond ring. Lachie crept over and shoved his microphone in my face.

"Oh my god Timmy, yes!!!" I cried pulling him up and hugging him. The audience went mental and he leaned in for a kiss, but I pulled back.

"Yes.. Of course I will but..." I said nervously. People gasped, and then came the silence, all eyes were on me. I was so nervous but I knew I had to tell Timmy sooner or later, and why not now? Why no in front of the people who made him happy? In an atmosphere he was comfortable in.

"What is it babe?" he asked, taking my hands.

"I'm pregnant" I said into Lachie's microphone. Timmy's face lit up, he picked me up and spun me around before pulling me in for a kiss.

"That's so amazing [YN], this is perfect, I don't know what to say. I'm just so happy" he replied with a tear falling from his eye as he pulled you in for a hug.

The support from the audience was unbelievable, everyone was so happy. I was in the place that I loved the most in the world, in Timmy's arms. He called Olly in to join the hug and then it wasn't long before all the lad's joined in.

I was as happy as I could be. Timmy was as happy as he could be. Olly had a little brother or sister on the way. The boys and another minitone to be excited for. And the audience had literally witnessed one of the best things they possibly could. Lance ran on stage and whispered something to Louis and the rest of the band who all began to play perfect. I couldn't help but begin to cry. Everything really was perfect.
