Chapter 48- Just another day
~Isaac~
Well a week has passed and the 3 of us look like little lost puppy dogs, but tonight we have agreed to just get out and kick it up at a night club here in Sydney, we have been couped up in the hotel since we have been here except leaving long enough to do a show and come back. We are lost without our families, and dad is getting on our last nerve. So we called the girls and told them we loved them and told them about what we were going to do...they all told us to have fun.
We got to the club about 10 pm, and ordered a drink, something that we all needed. We went and sat in a booth in a corner and just looked at each other.
"Man, this is just not the same without Jade here." I told them, they both looked at me like they knew how I was feeling.
"We know man, but hell Ike we just got here, we have give it a chance." Taylor said looking at me, and looking at his cell phone at the same time, I lifted my eyebrows at him.
"Maybe you should take your own advice mr I am attached to my cell phone." I said laughing. Knowing I wanted mine to ring too.
We all looked up and a bunch of girls started to come towards us, all of us looking at each other with panic written on our faces.
"Oh my god It is Hanson, In our bar.." One girl all but screamed, only to see lots more coming towards us, this is not my idea of letting lose and having fun.
"Hi girls, how are you this evening?" Taylor asked them, putting on his fake smile that he was so famous for under pressure.
"We are great Taylor, OMG I can't believe we are standing in front of 3 of the most hottest guys in the world, you guys just rock and we love your new cd." The said smiling.
"Thank you, do you have a name?" Zac asked them, giggling under his breath.
"Yes we do Zac, and thank you for asking, are you always this nice when people bother you?" One girl asked him, looking like she was embarrassed to bother us.
"Yes we are, we love our fans, now..what is your name hun?" Zac asked again reaching out his hand to her and shaking it.
"My name is Lucy, and I am so sorry for bothering you like this, they just couldn't stay away." She said to us.
"Hey, I like the name, I wrote a song about Lucy once." He said to her winking, She was so cute, cheeks all red from blushing and we all shook her hand and asked her to join us.
"So Lucy, how old are you?" Taylor asked her, smiling a real smile at her.
"I am 25, today is my birthday, that is why they brought me here, I just want to say thank you for asking me to sit here wtih you guys, I have been a fan since 1997 and have missed you guys here in Australia, we thought you forgot we were down here." She giggled at us.
"Well first off, let me start by saying happy birthday to you Lucy, and we could never forget that you beautiful girls are here." I told her smiling.
"Oh thank you Isaac, I know it must be hard for you guys to be here without your wives and kids, I saw a new pic of your son Zac, he is adorable, and I am sure you all miss them, I remember when you announced Ezra was born, I was jealous, shocked, and happy all in one for you Taylor, and then you Isaac, I am so sorry about your little girl, but I bet your sons are adorable too." She said smiling, knowing so much about us but yet not acting obsessed.
We all reached in our back pockets at the same time digging out our wallets, and laughing knowing we all had the same idea!
"Well, this is my daughter Brianna, and my son Matthew and my wife Kiley, and yes I miss them with all my heart, but cool fans like you make it just a little easier." Zac said to her showing her their family picture they had done just before we left.
"Oh Zac, thank you so much, and she looks just like you, I can tell you are very proud of your family, and with good reason's you should be." She said handing him back his wallet carefully, trying not to touch his hand.
"You don't have to be nervous around me, I don't tend to bite anymore, my hand won't shock you." He said to her laughing, making her blush knowing Zac knew she was avoiding him.
"This is Ezra and my wife Trish, we just got married on christmas of this year." Taylor said handing her the pic to look at.
"Wow, Ezra sure has gotten bigger Taylor, and is looking more like you everyday." She said handing him back his picture.
"Yes he is, he is growing up to fast." He said to her putting the picture back in his wallet.
"And this is my son's and my wife Jade,the lights of my life." I told her handing her the picture.
"Wow, you guys have beautiful wives, it is special to see you guys so happy, and yet it breaks my heart knowing you guys are missing your families so, and Isaac, your son's are precious." She said handing me back the picture.
We thank her for the compliment on our wives, making each of our hearts ache more, realizing that it is just lonely without them.
"Well I have to get back to my friends before they come drag me away." SHe said giggling, making us all laugh.
"Wait a second Lucy, we have something for you for your birthday." Taylor said nodding at us knowing where he was going with this.
We broke out into a acapella version of Happy birthday for her, and we watched as the whole place stopped and watched us, she was blushing bright red and as we finished we all kissed her cheeks and hugged her, and then we handed her 2 tickets to tomorrow show.
"These are a birthday gift from us to you Lucy, we would like you to be our guest tomorrow night and hang out with us after the show backstage for awhile." I told her, we could see a tear forming in her eye, and Zac reached over and hugged her into his chest.
"Thank you for being one of those fans that are pleasent to be around, and I hope to see you tomorrow night." Zac told her kissing her cheek again.
"Thank you so much guys, you don't know what this means to me, I have not see you guys in concert since the Middle of Nowhere, I will be there, and again..thank you so much." She said to us smiling.
We autographed a napkin for her and she walked away to go join her friends, we finished our drinks and decided to call it a night, each of us wanting to go back to the hotel and call our wives.
"Guys?" Zac said to us.
"Yes Zac? What is it?" I asked him.
"I really think I am ready to fly Kiley and the kids out for a few days, I am missing them so much." He said to us, both of us looking at him and nodding.
"You know Zac, I think we all are, lets call them and invite them out." Taylor said to him.
We did just that, called each of them, and they were going to be on a flight out day after tomorrow, all of us excited, and going to be a supize for dad to know that mom is going to fly out, the kids will be staying with grandma.
We headed out to the venue to set up our equipment, and there were tons of fans there already! I piled all my stuff on my cart and started pusing it towards the door and when I got in the veiw of the fans they started screaming, I went overt to them and started signing autographs for them, they have been good to us, they have waited for over 5 yrs to see us again.
Soon I see Zac trying to see over his stack of drums, speakers, guitar, he smiled over at the fans and waived from behind all his stuff, he stopped and walked over and hugged fans, gave them autographs, had pictures done with them and then he smiled. "Sorry guys have to go get this stuff set up if you want a show." He said winking at them.
Taylor made his way over keyboards, tamborines, guitars on his cart, he smiled at them all, signed autographs and had pictures taken with them and then we all headed into the venue.
A couple hours went by and we sat down for a sec and I felt a hand on my shoulder, I jumped out of my skin, I turned around to see Jade standing there with the boys and Kiley and Trish and Mom in tow. We all flew down off the stage in shock.
"I thought you guys were not going to be here til tomorrow?" I said as I took her into my arms and hugged her tight.
"Well we decided to give our guys something to smile about." SHe told me as I took Joshua and Jordan into my arms, oh god I have missed that feeling. All the sudden I heard Brianna screaming..."DADDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" she ran past all of us and into Zac's waiting arms, she kissed him and threw her arms around his neck.,,"I wuv you daddy, miss you." SHe told him as I noticed a lone tear fall down his cheek. "Daddy loves you too my little angel, and I have missed you so very much baby." He said holding onto her.
Ezra ran into Taylor's arms and cried, making me realize that this little boy was at the age where he was feeling Taylor's absence.
"Oh my little man, daddy is here, don't cry." He said trying to choke back his own tears. We were with our families again, there was not better feeling in the world. We went backstage to get them all their passes and we still had 5 hrs before the show so we all decided to go get them settled into the hotel and then go out and get some food.
"I have missed you so much Jade, thank you for making this a wonderful day baby." I told her taking her into my arms.
"Hey, I love to make my husband happy, it is worth it to see that precious smile on your handsome face." She said to me, leaning into me and kissing me deeply, knowing tonight, I was going to make love to my wife like there is no tomorrow.
~Zac~
My heart is so full feeling right now, knowing my family is here with me, I am now complete.
"Baby, thank you so much for coming early, I have missed you 3 so much, you have no idea." I told her taking her into my arms.
"Oh Zac but I do know what you mean, I was going crazy without you baby." She said to me, pulling my head down to her and kissing my lips with so much passion, making me stand to attention. It rubbed up against her, making her gasp. "Well seems your not the only one that has missed me huh?" She said giggling brushing her hands over my stiffness in my pants.
"No, he always misses you baby, but he is going to have to wait til tonight, we have to get the kids fed and ready for tonight." I told her kissing never wanting to let go of her lips.
Soon Matthew started crying, I went over and picked him up and kissed his little cheek. "Daddy has missed you my little man, I just never want to feel apart from you sweetie." I told him kissing his forehead. Then I felt a tug on my leg and looked down to see my little angel attached to my leg, her favorite thing to do when I had Matty in my arms. "Is someone a little jealous my little angel? You know daddy loves you just as much." I told her scooping her up into my other arm, making me thankful that I am a drummer and have strong arms..otherwise I would be a hurting daddy.
She started kissing my cheek with her little butterfly kisses that she likes to do to me, Kiley came over and took Matty so that I could get her back..cause I love to hear her giggle. I started my attack on her little face with tons of butterfly kisses and she started to giggle and threw her head back laughing so hard..so I blew on her belly and she grabbed my hair a good one..making me laugh. "Daddy top it." She screamed trying to catch her breath...this is what my life is about...my family I love them so much. I pulled her up and tucked her little head to my chest, she put her arms around my neck and just laid there..it made me smile so much.
~Taylor~
"How did you guys manage to find a flight so fast?" I asked her, holding her in my arms and Ezra in my other arm.
"Well, seems when you have the last name Hanson, you can get alot accomplished."She said grinning up at me and I kissed her soft lips, never loving her more then I do right now.
"Well Mrs.Hanson, I am glad to see that marrying me got you some benifits."I said to her winking.
"Oh Mr.Hanson, I plan on showing you benifits later tonight when we get back here.." She said to me making me feel excited all the sudden.
"Oh I will hold you to that one, cause we have missed you dearly." I said winking at her and licking my dry lips at her, making her squirm a little.
We got everything put away and Ezra's porta crib set up and sat down for a second to just relax, realizing we had to go meet the others in the lobby soon.
"I Love you baby, thank you so much for being here with me tonight, we are meeting a fan backstage tongiht, she is the sweetest girl." I told her, explaning about Lucy, she smiled and was excited to meet fans.
"I love you too Taylor, I have missed you so much." She said to me kissing me softly.
We headed out to meet the others in the lobby, and headed into the resturant and ate our dinner and just talked, it was nice to have our families here with us, not one of us are not smiling now, we are all grins and our hearts are full again!
