After talking to Donnie, I showered quickly and shaved since I had 5 o'clock shadow. I put on one of Chrissy's favorite pairs of jeans and a white t-shirt and headed to her room in the hopes that we could maybe go to dinner and talk...she accepted my invitation.

The meeting had been one HELL of an emotional rollercoaster for me, I just sat on my bed and talked to Mariah for awhile and then showered and slipped into one of Jon's favorite pairs of Jeans and a cute top he liked. A few minutes later I heard a knock at the door, and it was Jon! He said we needed to talk and invited me to dinner.

We went to the hotel restaurant and found a table for two towards the back, I held her chair for her when she sat down. I spotted Donnie and the guys at another table, but, made no eye contact with them at all. I focused all my attention where it belonged--on my beautiful wife.

We talked quietly throughout our meal and she told me it was going to take time for her heart to heal after what Mariah's father had attempted to do to us.

I could tell when Jon and I were talking just by looking in his eyes that he really does love me and wants to work things out between us.

We talked while we ate and I told him that my heart was really hurt and was going need time to heal from what we had been through.- he nodded and said he understood.

The next morning we had breakfast together and the little sneak tried to play footsie under the table with me. We spent most of the morning and early afternoon together talking.

Right after lunch I headed to rehearsal with the guys and then hung with them as concert time drew near.

Around 5pm, I smiled as I saw Chrissy, Mariah, and a pretty redhead whom I guessed was Chloe and a handful of her friends being escorted backstage. We all headed into the room they were in a few minutes later and Chloe's eyes just lit up! we took pictures with just her and then some with her and her friends and a couple with her and Mariah.

We also made sure she got autographed pictures of us as well, and some cool soon to be released NKOTB merchandise which she left with Biscuit till after the show.

While we all chatted Jordan slipped out of the room and soon came back with a cake that said "Happy 21st Birthday Chloe" he crouched down by her and told her to close her eyes and make a wish-she did and blew out the candles.

I reached behind Donnie and turned on a radio and we each danced with one of her friends- It was really no surprise when she said that I was her favorite new kid, but I acted like it was.. Mariah helped her stand up and she and I shared a little dance.

As I made sure she got back to her chair, the song switched to "Unanswered Prayers" I swallowed hard and nervously walked over to Chrissy and she and I shared a dance. Suddenly I felt as though we were the only ones in the room as I held her close as we danced, and when the

song ended, I instinctively lowered my head and kissed her softly I was relieved when I felt her return the kiss as my brain snapped back to reality as I heard the guys clear their throats.

It was such a magical evening for Chloe and one she'll never forget Mariah, and I met up with her and 6 of her friends and went backstage before the show- the guys were so awesome to her, they posed for pictures and signed autographs for her , and they gave her some soon to be released NKOTB merchandise-and Jordan brought out a cake for her-she even got to share a dance with her favorite 'kid' --Jon..it was so sweet.

After he made sure she was settled in her chair, the song abruptly changed to "unanswered prayers, which was our wedding song, and I saw him swallow somewhat hard as he walked over and asked me to dance- as he held me and we danced I felt safe in his arms just like I always do and I felt love-the same love I felt when we danced to unanswered prayers at our wedding reception.

As the final notes of the song played he lowered his head out of habit and his lips captured mine in a sweet gentle kiss. I hesitated a bit but returned the kiss-I think we would have stayed in that moment forever had the guys and everyone not started clearing their throats.
