I have just finished my performance on the x factor. Everyone was pleased to hear that I was going on tour. My manager has organized for the tour to kick off in around 6-8 months. My manager is letting me go back to England for two weeks. Lily has been allowed time off too, and Nathan.
"Mummy, when are we going home? I wanna go to bed!" Lily says as she begins to cry.
Lily and the twins are starting to develop American accents which I find very cute.
"Soon sweetheart." I say.
After a further 30 minutes of waiting for something, we are driven home. As soon as we get in, I take Lily upstairs. I put her in bed and then I take a shower.
"Harper." Nathan says as he come on the bedroom.
"What?" I say.
"I think we should try and save water. Shower buddies?" Nathan asks as her opens the shower door.
"Nathan. I'm tired." I say.
"Please?" Nathan asks.
"Nope." I say, making a pop sound on the p.
"Fine." Nathan says and pretends to sulk.
I sigh and turn off the water. I get out and pull Nathan's top off. I then force him to take his trousers off. I wraps my hands around his neck and then pull his face towards me.
"What's changed your mind?" Nathan asks.
"Dunno." I say.
I pull Nathan into to shower and then he picks me up. He pushes me against the wall. I wrap my legs against his waist and then he kisses my neck.
"What if we wake the kids?" Nathan asks.
"We won't. You'll just have to be a lot to be extra careful that you don't make me scream." I say.
Our lips touch and then break apart. After well, you know, we get out the shower and get into bed. Nathan wraps his arms around my waist.
"Nathan." I say.
"Yeah?" He asks as he kisses my neck and then I turn over to face him.
"I love you so much." I say.
"I love you to." Nathan says.
I give Nathan one more kiss before falling asleep. When I wake up the next morning, I realise that I am late for work. No one is on the house. Damn you Nathan. You could have at least woke me up. As I get out of bed and go into the bathroom to brush my teeth, I call Nathan.
"You son of a bitch! Why did you wake me up?" I scream.
"What do you mean? You don't have work today!" Nathan says.
"Of course I have work today. Just because I performed in front of thousands yesterday, doesn't me I'm not going to go to work." I say.
"I'm sorry ok. I didn't know." Nathan says.
"Well maybe you should." I say before ending the call.
I rush to get ready and within 20 minutes, I am out the door, woth a blank canvas. I haven't even done my make-up! What am I doing with my life? I arrive at the studio and I go straight to my room.
"Harper. What took you so long?" My manager asks.
"My husband let me sleep in. I'm so sorry." I say.
"It's fine. You have no make-up on. Perfect!" He says.
"Wait, what?" I ask.
"I have brought in some make up and hair artists. We are going to have a photo shoot." My manager says.
"Where is the photo shoot going to be?" I ask.
"In the studio on the third floor." My manager says.
I don't get a chance to reply as I'm taken into a room that I've never been in before. I am sat down and then someone who I haven't seen for a few years, walks in.
"Connor!" I scream.
I jump up and hug one of my best friends who has owned my bridal store.
"What are you doing here? What about the shop?" I ask.
"I asked the assistant manager to take over for a week. Your manager and Nathan organized it." Connor says.
"I've missed you so much!" I say.
I hug him and then sit down. Two girls come in, one tends to me nails and one tends to my hair.
"So, what are you actually doing here?" I ask.
"Well, your manager asked me to come over as a surprise and then he asked me to do your make-up!" Connor says.
"Thank you so much!" I say to my manager.
My hair and nails are done and Connor is starting on my make-up. After 30 minutes, I'm sent to wardrobe and I'm told to change into a short red dress, a black leather jacket, black stilettos and sunglasses. We go up to the studio and spend 1 hour taking photo's. After that, me and Connor go for lunch.
"So how's Nathan?" He asks as we sit down.
"Well, he's still dealing with his hodgkins lymphoma. Other than that, he's doing great." I say.
"How are the kids?" Connor asks.
"They doing good. They are all starting to develop American accents. It's so cute." I say.
The waitress comes over and just as I'm about to speak, my phone rings.
"Hello?" I say.
The man explains everything and I start crying.
"Harper. What's wrong?" Connor asks.
"Nathan's been rushed to hospital." I say.
"It's gonna be fine. Do you want me to come with you?" Connor asks.
"Yes please. But would you be able to pick up the kids when it's time. I'll call the school and let them know who you are?" I ask as we get up and start running back to the studio to get my car.
"Sure. Shall I take them back to yours?" Connor asks.
"Yeah." I say.
We get back in a less than five minutes. As soon as we at in the car, I reverse out of parking and start to drive. I tell Connor to call my manager and tell him what has happened.
"What if he's already died?" I ask.
"Harper. He's a fighter. He wouldn't dare leave you or the kids." Nathan says.
"I hope so. I hope it's nothing serious." I say.
We get to the hospital in about 10 minutes. As soon as my car is parked, I run to the front desk with Connor along side me. I ask for Nathan's room number and once I know, I start running again.
"Nathan." I whisper as I slowly walk in.
"Excuse me. Who are you?" A nurse asks.
"I'm his wife. Is everything ok?" I ask.
"Mrs Montgomery. Please sit down." The nurse asks.
"What's happened?" I ask.
"Mrs Montgomery, as you know your husband has hodgkins lymphoma. We don't know what it was, but something caused for his body to stop reacting to the chemo therapy that was most recently dosed out to him. He collapsed and is yet to be taken for scans and tests." The nurse.
