Nicky was waiting for Georgina outside of the ladies room, when he saw a very familiar face coming out of the private room. "Is that really you, Hun?" he asked the woman.
"Nico?! - Whatta ya doin' here, man?" she smiled at him and gave him a hug. He told her and they kept talking till Gina came out of the ladies room.
"I can't believe my eyes!? - Nixter, tell me I'm seeing a ghost or I go mad!" Gina was shocked by surprise, seeing her best friend talking to her boy friend.
"G! - Why didn't ya call me, that you're in town?" both kissed their hellos.
"ME?! - Why didn't YOU tell me that you're back in town, girl?" Gina replied.
"Okay, okay..."
"Come and have a drink with us!" Nicky invited her.
"I'd love to, but I've to work now! Give me a call and we meet tomorrow, okay? - If ya got time, lads..." she grinned, knowing they both have busy schedules all the time.
"Promised?" Georgina asked not convinced.
"I swear!" so she went off.

Nicky and Gina returned on their way back to the others, chatting about whom they just met. "I can't believe it! - She really is back..." Gina wondered.
"Shall we tell the others?" Nicky asked her. "I don't know if she wants them to know..."
"So, let's keep it as a secret and we'll ask her tomorrow then." Nicky suggested.
"Good idea." Gina replied.

The evening turned into night and suddenly Mark and Kian showed up as well.
"What are you both doing here?" Gina wondered.
"Nice Hello, Gina!" Kian moaned at her, greeting the others.
"Äh, I'm sorry, Ki. - Hi!" she gave him a little kiss on the cheek. She then turned with a worried look to Nicky, just to find him looking like he was thinking the same as she did.
"Well, we should tell them now, don't we?" he suggested to her whispering.
"No! - Let's hope they don't find out." She whispered back.
Nicky wasn't happy with this, but he didn't want to start an arguing with her.

Mark was gone for a while, but when he returned he leaned over to Nicky.
"Nix? - I think a saw a ghost around this place... - Tell me it's not her!?" he asked silently.
"Who did ya see?" Nicky wasn't sober anymore.
"Which girl makes me freak out?" Mark was a bit pissed.
"Mark, keep it down, will ya? - Yeah, you're right, she's here. But we don't know yet if she wants the others to know. So Geo and me will meet her tomorrow and find out. Until than you keep your mouth shut!" Nicky was now almost sober again...
Mark was now in the mood for leaving this place as soon as possible. The others were now also ready for leaving and off they went.
Kian was drunk, again. That used to happen regularly for a while now, but he never told anyone why he didn't stop. When the others asked him, he just told them that's none of their business.

The next day - they were having breakfast in the hotel - Gina's phone rang.
"Hello?" she took off.
"Geo? - It's me, Sandy."
"Oh, hi ya. - How's it going?" Gina stood up to leave the dinning room for a bit more privacy, giving Nicky a view that told him who's on the phone. He just nodded.
As she was outside, she could continue the chat. "Sorry, had to leave the others, ya know?"
"Sure. - Did ya tell them?"
"No. I wanted ya to ask first if ya want them to know you're back?!"
"They'll find out anyway, sooner or later."
"Why? What are ya up to, sis?"
"Oh, I'll tell you and Nico later. - Can ya arrange to come to me place?"
"Where are ya staying now?"
"Same place as always. It still belongs to me..."
"Oh, that's fine. - What time is best for ya?" - Mark was just coming out of the dinning room as well. -
"Is that Sandy?" he asked Gina, who was still holding the mobile to her ear.
"How do you know?" Gina wondered.
"Saw her yesterday..."
"Mark knows." Gina spoke into the phone.
"Bring him along if he wants to..." Sandy replied (she had seen him the evening before and that he noticed her).
"What about having lunch together?" Gina suggested.
"Cool. I'll fix something. Be here around 13.00."
"Fine."
"Later, G."
"Later, San."
Gina took the phone back to her pocket and looked at Mark, who was still staring.
"You want to come with Nix and me to have lunch with her?" Gina asked him.
"Me, - what?" Mark was coming back to reality.
"Oh, Mark. Come on! That's a long time gone now; you should be over it by now!" Gina wasn't the type of girl, that freaks out easily, but in that case she was still hard to deal with.
"Hmm, well... Does Ki know about her being back yet?" Mark mentioned shyly.
"No! And let's keep it this way, will ya?"
"Well, than its fine with me. - I need to talk some things off, to continue..." he was still not convinced.
Just than, the others came back from breakfast and Gina told him to be ready in the lobby by a quarter past 12. Nicky didn't need to ask, when he heard her saying this.

So by 10 past 12 the three met in the lobby and got a cab to drop them off at the place they all knew very well. Sandy opened the door to her apartment and they all kissed their hellos (even Mark). "Nice to see ya..." he said shyly. "You too, little broth." - She still called him this, after all this time... he noticed with a smile.
"So, take a seat at the table, Lunch is just ready." She wanted to head off for the kitchen but Mark was right behind her to give her a hand. "Well, take the plate, but be careful it's hot!" she gave him a kitchen towel to save his hands.
"Are ya alright?" he suddenly asked her out of nothing.
"Mark, I'm fine ... now. - Look, ya didn't do anything wrong and it was all my fault, that I regret. But please, let's leave the past behind and look into the future." She knew exactly what he was thinking of, as she always did. "Okay." Was all he could reply.
The both brought the food to the table and had a nice Lunch with Gina and Nicky, like they used to have (back in the good old times...).
When they had moved to the lounge for their coffee, the conversation went on easily.
"So, girly. What you're up to now back home again?" Nicky asked the question.
"Oh, well, I'm taking me time easily, ya know. - Got the job at the club of me uncle and enjoying me time." She replied grinning.
"San, what about the..." Gina was about to ask, when Sandy stopped her gently.
"G, don't ask, please! - That's past! And as I already told Mark in the kitchen, let's leave the past behind and start on a new future. Will ya help on that?" her look told them that she was ready for it. So they all said "Yes, sure!" and Gina got next to her, taking her into her arms and added "We are still your family, what ever happens, don't forget this!" Sandy had tears in her eyes and just nodded.
"Me, perhaps, a bit more than the others..." Mark mentioned.
"Sure, little brother." Sandy fell into his arms.

[Okay, just for explanation: Sandy is Mark's older half sister; Mark's Dad didn't know he had a daughter till the 16 year-old Sandrea showed up at the Feehily's house to find out who her Dad was.
Marie, Mark's Mum, was of course shocked at first but she liked the girl, who came all the way from London on her motorbike, just to find her real Dad. - After a couple of visits and when Marie found out that Sandy's Mum had died, she invited Sandy to stay for some time to get to know her Dad and the rest of the Feehily's a bit better. - That's how she got to know the rest of the Sligo boys, Gillian, and later on also Nicky and Gina (who immediately turned to be best friends) and Brian and even Kerry. But no one knew - except for them - of her relationship to Mark's Family.]

They all spend a lovely time together until it was time for the three to leave and head back to the hotel. Gina was the one to ask the final question "What about the others? I mean, Gillian would never forgive us if we wouldn't tell her that you're back..."
"...she than tells Shane and we all know, that he can't keep a secret!" Sandy laughed and the others did too. "So, go and let them know and if Gillian wants to see me, she can always walk by or if the boys are busy and you both want to go shopping, just give me a call and I'll join ya!" she was still smiling.
The boys were already down to the hall, when Gina pulled her back to the living room.
"What about HIM?" she asked a bit worried.
"Nothing. Believe it or not he's not the only one who moved on..." she was stronger than expected, what convinced Gina, so she just nodded.

Two days later - Gina had told Gillian about Sandy while they were alone in the sauna - the girls met for shopping.
[Another explanation: Sandy's Mum had married a rich business man, to ensure her daughter a good life. Luke tried to be a good father, adopted her and spoiled her with everything a girl wanted. But one thing he couldn't manage, was loving her like a real Dad. After a hard time in the beginnings, he accepted Oliver's role in Sandy's life and continued to spoil her, with everything money could buy...- means she wasn't poor at all!!!]
So the girls met in town and Sandy showed them the best spots to get the most gorgeous cloths they've ever seen. They had lots of fun and chatted like only girls can...

They were in the club, just a few days after their shopping trip.
Kian wasn't alone; he had Jodi with him, like the rest of the boys had brought their girls along, too.
They were just chatting when Kian recognized the other girl for the first time.
No one told him till than and he didn't need to ask now, because it was obviously her.
He would have recon her at anytime, anywhere...
When the DJ played N.E.R.D.'s "She wants to move" he saw Sandy dancing and couldn't stop staring at her. - 'Man, she was still an eye catching beast', he thought. He only stopped looking at her, when he saw Mark dancing with her, bringing the old thoughts back to his mind... He drank to much again, like every time she appeared on his mind...

A few days later the both met by surprise in a café, around the corner of Sandy's place.
She didn't expect him to come around this place anymore...
"Hey." He greeted her.
"Hi!" she was a bit shocked.
"Have a seat." He ordered her and she did.
"What is it?" she asked.
"You're back?!"
"Ya see..."
"Where've ya been?"
"Lots of places."
"And why are ya back?"
"Remember, it's me home town - not yours!" - That was clear.

They didn't say a word for a few minutes.

"So why'd ya come here?" she asked him.
"I knew I'd catch ya here..."
"For what, Egan?"
"Why did ya send me those bloody papers?" - It's been said...
"Why keep on with a mistake...?" she replied silently.
"I've been a mistake to you?" he was upset and trying to stay calm.
"What about the other way around, ha?" - She was as good as he was...
"Why did you leave?" he asked her with a weak voice.
She looked straight into his blue eyes and replied "Coz I was pregnant", she said almost whispering. "You - what?" he was shocked. "Why didn't ya tell me? - What's that for a reason to leave? It's a reason to stay, not to run and hide?" he hadn't been expecting THIS!
"Egan, we both know where this would have leaded us to... - and THAT was the reason I couldn't stay. You needed to find your place in the world first. - And you did! Westlife's your place and that's gorgeous. I'm happy for ya. - So let's forget about the past and have a new start." That speech would have convinced everybody - but not Kian Egan! ... Damn!
"Hey, who are ya trying to fool? Me, you or both of us?" his eyes were only slits now.
"Stop it, Keen!" - She always pronounced his name like that...- "I don't need to fool, remember? I'm not the one fooling around..." - that hit him!!!
"Okay, calm down and let's do this like grown-ups..." he suggested after a few seconds.
"Are ya?" she only lifted an eyebrow, still looking right into his eyes.
He felt uncomfortable and couldn't look straight into her (also) blue eyes.
"Can't we discuss this somewhere else?" he tried to change the subject for having a calm-down-minute.
"Let's go to my place." She just said. He was astonished but nodded.
So they went to her apartment. - Damn, all the memories rushed through his head... -
"Take a seat. - Ya want a cup of tea or a beer?" she knew him well...
"Is it too early for a beer?"
"I wouldn't have mentioned if it was..." she looked bored and got two bottles of beer out of her fridge.
When she handed him one, their fingers touched for a second. She didn't react but he was flooded by feelings... 'It's her landmark, I'm trapped...' he thought.
"So, why was it a reason for leaving?" he asked to continue with their conversation.
"I told ya already." She just moaned.
"But I'm not convinced with the answer!"
"Egan, leave the past and arrive to the future! - Why do you hang around with me instead of your lovely girl friend?" - She changed the subject the hard way...
"How do ya know?" he asked surprised.
"Oh, come on! You're all over the papers, dear. - I'm not blind ... and I'm not back for you!"
"I didn't say anything of this..."
"Yeah, but I know your ego wants to believe something stupid like this. So I better tell ya from the start." She grinned.
"Sana, please. Lets talk things off the table, than we could deal like old friends again."
- did he really call her this? -
"First thing, don't ya ever call me that again! You have no rights to do so anymore..."
"But..."
"I said NO!" she was hard to deal, ever since...
"Secondly, even if it doesn't seem to bother you, I lost the child, so you are not obliged to anything or anyone."
"I'm sorry."
"What for?"
"That I caused you such hard times." He meant it from his heard, even she could tell.
"That's okay, but thanks."
"Why didn't you want me to help you through?"
"I told ya, you needed to find your way first. And I knew what I was going to expect..."
"What? You know you couldn't keep... the baby?"
"No. But I knew what Oliver, Marie and Luke, Patricia and Kevin would've expected us to do - and I knew I couldn't tell them the truth!"
"But they would've been more than happy to hear so!?"
"Are ya so stupid, so superficial? What has become of ya?" she was transitive of him and turned away from him. "No, I'm not like this! Please, you have to believe me." He grabbed her arm and turned her around, facing her nearer than expected. Her smell made him lose senses. He pulled her near and kissed her, before any of both knew what happened. When let go, she looked more than surprised and he didn't know what to say.
When she finally got herself together again, she just said "You'd better leave now." But it was a weakness to be heart, which told him she still had feelings for him...
"Are ya sure, Hun?" he asked in return. "Yes, I am. - And you should decide for what ya really want before fooling 'round again." - uh, that hurt! -

Kian was lost in thoughts for two days now. Jodi was wondering what might cause him such hard times. When she asked Shane about it, he told her he didn't know. It sounded honest, so she tried it at Kian. "My Dear? What causes you such trouble?"
"Ha? - Oh, nothing. Everything's just fine." He grinned at her. She still looked worried and so he pulled her near and started kissing his girl friend. - Sex, always helped... -

Sandy was coping to deal with her old friends like the past years haven't happened.
It was harder now, but she managed it (like everything in her life, that didn't go the way they were planned!). Everybody was convinced with her being like she had never been away.

They all met in the club again, when Jodi first met Sandy. They were introduced by Kian "Jodi, that's Sandy, a very old friend of all of us. - Sandy, this is Jodi." He said (no further explanations...).
"Hey, Jodi. Nice to meet ya." Sandy greeted her.
"Hello, Sandy. My Pleasure." Jodi answered in her Cockney English.
(Sandy shivered. What a snobby girl!- but she tried to give her a chance...)

They had a nice evening, drinking, chatting and stuff like that.

Brian asked Sandy for a dance and Sandy looked at Kerry first.
"They're your feet, babe..." she just grinned.
"McFad, you better watch out or you'll only have those two children..." she throwed an evil smile at Brian. "Yeah, I know..." he said in return, smiling too. They both rocked!

Nicky was grinning all the time while talking to Mark. Kerry was smiling knowingly. Shane and Gillian were busy with each other. Gina was talking to Jodi.
Just Kian was staring at the couple on the dance floor. He didn't say a word but Mark saw what bothered him - jealousy! He still had strong feelings for Sandy. That would cause trouble, man.... again!!!
When Brian and Sandy returned, Kian just waited until Sandy got a drink to still her thirst. Then he asked her for a dance. She just nodded and he took her to the floor.
They rocked even more!
Nicky looked at Brian and both nodded, thinking about the both being together ages ago. They looked as nothing happened, still a cute couple enjoying each others company.

Then a dark haired woman jumped onto Sandy's back and when she turned around they screamed and kissed each other on the mouth for about a minute or so. (By the way, Kian looked transitive at them...) The women hugged and were screaming again. (Kian returned to the table meanwhile...) Sandy took the woman by the hand and led her to the others. Everybody's looking at them by now.
"Folks! - Please welcome me good friend Amy!" she introduced the woman. Everybody said their hellos. Sandy and Amy were still holding hands. When it was Gina's turn, Amy looked at Sandy, saying "Now I know what you've meant! She's gorgeous, dear! - Hello, it's my pleasure to meet ya."
"Pleasure is mine." Gina replied confidently.
Amy was welcomed by heart, as a friend of Sandy always would be. Whom she called a friend, the crowd would call a friend too...
"Amy, dear. Are ya all by yourself or are the lads here as well?" Sandy asked.
"No, they're at the hotel and Terry is waiting for me to bring ya back to him..." she gave Sandy a grin. But Sandy replied "One mistake at a time - but I'm not stupid to fail twice, Baby!"

The night went on and Sandy went crazy with Amy by her side. Kerry and Gina were joking about the both, being weirder as they've ever seen Sandy before...
Kian was - dunno know what to call it - not jealous (about another girl?!), not shocked (he'd seen her kissing a girl before...), not worried...

The day after, he sneaked out of bed, had a shower and left Jodi's place to visit Sandy.
She opened the door in nothing than a shirt and a pair of male boxer's (that would probably never change...), quite astonished to face Kian.
"Whatta ya want?" she asked, hiding a yawn.
"Talk." Was all Kian replied.
"Come in." she was too tired to argue with him.
She went to the kitchen, for some coffee. "Ya too?"
"Yes, please." He'd followed her.
"So, whatta ya up to?" she asked.
"Tell me, what was the Craig yesterday?"
"Egan?! - Not in the mornin', ya should know me better..." she handed him a cup of coffee, like he always had... ('She'd still remember...' he thought)
They went to the lounge to have a seat.
When she had a few slurps of her coffee, he asked her again "Tell me, before I go insane..."
"You're not jealous, are ya?" she grinned at him with this evil smile...
"I am!" he cried out.
"Keen, calm down. Since when are ya jealous about a girl?" she looked a bit bored at him...
"Since I think I don't know ya anymore..." he answered.
"Oh, come on, Hun! - Ya know how I am..." - she still wasn't awake yet... -
Kian leaned over to her and kissed her while pulling her onto his lap.
She was overwhelmed by this reaction and the feelings she still had for him.
So she gave into his kiss and played with his tongue. He was already horny, she could feel...
So one thing led to another and she felt his hands on her naked back at first, than on her breast, making her nipples become harder than ever... she took off his shirt, he took off hers. When she opened his jeans, she felt how horny he really was... and her boxers were gone just a second before she made him get rid of his. She sat down on him and both groaned heavily, when he entered her! They both knew what they liked and she rode him insane.
There was nothing he wanted more than her...
"Me Love..." he whispered to her. "Me Boo..." She whispered into his ear.
"Please, don't ya ever stop!" he was moaning, kissing her nipples again and hiding his face between her breasts. "Let go, Kee, please." She was almost begging.
"No, I don't want to let you go!" he was crying out. He looked into her lovely blue eyes and turned position, so that she was lying on her back. He took her, as it was the last thing to do in his life... They reached the climax at the same time!

He was still kissing her all over her body.
"Hun?" she whispered.
"Baby?!" he stopped, just to look scared into her eyes.
She had tears in her beautiful oceanic eyes. "It's not right!" tears rolled down her face.
"My dear, what's not right with making love to my wife?" he replied.
She pulled him only a sleeve away "Does that mean..." she was surprised.
"I never signed these damned papers. - You are still my wife!" he replied proudly.
"You're jokin', Kee?! Please tell me you're jokin'!?" she begged.
"No, I am not!" he still looked at her lovingly.
"Kian John Francis Egan, you are still my husband?!" she asked completely irritated.
"Yes, Sandrea Grainne O'Callahan-Egan, you are still my beloved wife." He kissed her gently on her throat. She was groaning again. "You're mad!" she stroked his back to his hips, continued to his butt. He was already discovering her body all over again, just to enter her one more time, more tender, caressing her everywhere...
She let him do so, knowing it was not that wrong anymore, since she knew they were still married to each other.

They were lying next to each other; Kian caressed her on her arms, kissing her throat, neck, cheek. She was just enjoying lying in his arms and cuddling with him.
After a while she got up to have a shower. He followed her; sneaking under the same shower with her and making love to her again...
When she got dressed, he was sitting on her bed, only with a towel around his hips, he watched her with a smile. "Baby, you're still the most beautiful woman on the planet!" he stood up to kiss her... again. "Yeah, right. And I'm also the Queen of Fools..." she grinned. "Only me as your fool!" he pulled her closer.
"Keen, how do ya think to proceed?" she was serious now.
"What ya mean, Hun?" he looked surprised.
"Three's a crowed..." she replied.
"Ya still don't want the press to know about our wedding, do ya?"
"No! That didn't change!"
"Okay, so I have to take some time to end the relationship with her..."
"Take your time. But don't hurt her that much... - she is so young. It would hurt her for the rest of her life and that I couldn't cope with, ya know?" - She still worried about everyone, even her rivals and enemies...
"I promise! But ya need to give me time for this."
"What about the G's and the lads?"
"Only Gina and Nix, right?" he gave in.
"Sure." She kissed him gently and passionately at the same time.

He went back to Jodi's apartment to find a note telling him she was off to work and would return late today.
So he met with Shane and Brian to write some new songs in the studio.

Nicky was heading off to Sandy's place with Gina.
Sandy told them the news about her and Kian still being married and they couldn't believe it at first. The both had been witness to the marriage a long time ago...
"He must've been out of his mind!?" Nicky wondered.
"Why didn't ya know? You'd never get the final papers?" Gina asked.
"No, but I thought that's because I moved again and I never left my new address, due I never knew the new one when I left..." she explained to them.

Days went on, but not without Kian phoning Sandy a couple of times a day!
He tried to make it to her (with the worst excuses...), just to end up loving his wife again and again and again...
They met regularly at the club but Kian avoided bringing Jodi with him...
When Kian danced with Sandy each of the lads and their girls could see what was going on but none of them mentioned a word. - And no one told Jodi...

But Jodi experienced that something was wrong by the way Kian avoided to stay overnight, not wanting sex with her... all these kind of things! - Girls recon...

So, one evening she sneaked into the club, without being seen, just to find Kian with this girl. They danced, having fun with each other. The others enjoyed her company too and the girls were more relaxed than she'd ever seen them before. But she finally got her blow of death when she saw Kian kissing the other with such passion... she left as soon as possible.
Jodi cried all night long.
She didn't tell anyone. - Whom of them she should trust now? No one!
So Jodi acted like she still don't know but she made up her mind to face her rival.

Jodi showed up at the studio and found Kerry and Sandy with the boys. They were joking with Brian and Mark.
As Sandy discovered Jodi she went over to Mark, who pulled her close and pretended to be her boy friend. (Jodi didn't know about them being brother and sister.)
So Jodi went to Kian to greet him with a kiss. He let her do so, being very surprised to see her. "Jodi?! Something happened?" he asked worried.
"No. But we haven't seen each other for so long, due to our schedules that I thought I surprise you!" - did I mention that she's a fabulous actress? -
When the boys went into the recording room, the girl sat down on the couch to have a little chat. "Are you now Mark's girl friend?" Jodi asked innocent.
"We're not sure yet. Just enjoying each others company." Sandy replied nicely. Kerry understood quickly...
"So you're as busy as the boys, Ki-an (she always needs to pronounce it that way, to name him right) told me...?" Sandy asked gently.
"Oh, yes. ..." Jodi told her about her work and stuff like that. Kerry added some comments, too. And they had quite a conversation until Jodi asked "What are you doing for living?" "Hmm, well actually I don't need to work. But to avoid boredom I work at the club of me uncle, where we first met."
"Oh, really? - So, you're spoiled?" Kerry and Sandy shared a view but Sandy continued as nicely as before "On money? Definitely." (Jodi thought how snobby this girl must be...)
When the boys returned, Jodi asked "Kian, what about inviting Mark and Sandy for Dinner at our place?" - Everyone heart it. Kian wasn't sure what to say and looked at Mark first, not knowing it either. Than Kian turned his head to Sandy just to see her nodding generously.
"If they've time?!" so he replied a bit shy.
"How nice, Jodi." Sandy said with her sweetest smile, letting the boys and Kerry freeze... they all knew how fake this smile was but only cause they knew Sandy so well!

Kian couldn't make it to Sandy's place that night; he had to be at Jodi's.
But when he went to Sandy the next morning, after Jodi had left for work, he wasn't quite sure what to expect.
Sandy opened her door in nothing then a bathrobe, looking adorable. She was anything but awake yet. "Morning." Kian kissed her on the cheek. "Mornin', Kee. Come in and make some Coffee, won't ya?" she returned to the bathroom and seconds later he heard the shower. Another 10 Minutes later she came into the kitchen, wearing a light summer dress.
She smelled sooo good... He couldn't help kissing her on the neck. "Hey, ya." She grinned.
"Missed ya..." he moaned continuing to kiss her.
"That's cute, Boo. - But let's have a cup of coffee first, please." She poured the coffee into their cups. So they went to the lounge and Kian pulled her near, not wanting to stop kissing her. She'd missed him as much as he did her and so they both kissed each other passionately. When Kian's fingers run down her back to her butt, he discovered that she was wearing nothing under that dress... and his body longed for her.
After making her as horny as he was already, she opened his jeans, giving him a massage on the *wild thing* until he pulled her legs apart to enter her when she sat down on him.
They didn't need to say a word, just enjoying each other...
When they'd finished, she kissed him once more before heading for the bathroom again.

As she returned to the lounge she found Kian all dressed up again, looking out of the window. She pulled her arms around him and kissed his neck softly.
"What is it, Baby?" she asked him.
"The dinner. - Do you really want to do it?" he turned round, looking concerned.
"We'll manage this, don't worry. - Ya know how good Mark and I are with pretending to be a couple..." "That's exactly the point!" he remembered too well...
"Oh, Kee! Behave! He's me brother. Shall I fool around with someone else instead?"
"No! - I don't want to see you with anyone but me!" he moaned.
"Oh, the Egan-ego is back..." she smiled evil...
"Don't look at me like this... you're my wife!" he tried to threaten her.
"But no one knows..." - he failed! She was still grinning...
"I know! And you do!" Kian tried his best...
"And Geo and Nix..." she continued smiling.
"Oh, yes, they do!" he grinned now too, thinking back about there astonished faces when the two were asked to be witness to the marriage ...
"But with the dinner... don't push it to hard, will ya?" he begged.
"I won't crash the party by forcing your coming out, Hun." She still grinned...
"What's your plan, Baby?" - He knew her...
"You'll wait and see." the evil smile wouldn't disappear...

So it was the evening of the dinner and Mark waited for his sister to leave the bedroom.
When she did, he needed to catch a deep breath. "I knew you're beautiful but you look gorgeous tonight!"
"Thanks, little brother... but you look cute yourself!" she kissed him on the cheek.
"So lets turn the switch!" he grinned the same evil smile she had.
"Yeap! Show the little Jodi what Feehily's are made of..." she clapped him on his ass.
"Well, Hun. Screen's on..." he offered her his arm.

In the car:
"We shouldn't go over the top, Mark. I mean, don't force Kian to freak out..." she wasn't so sure anymore. "Like the last time? - No, I'll behave myself ... AND stay sober. At least I'm the driver..." he tried to cheer her up. "It's hard anyway..." she looked out of the window.
"Why didn't he just split up then?" Mark questioned.
"I don't know, but I won't force him - like I never did..." she almost whispered.
"Hun, don't look back. Remember telling me? Now I tell you!" - Mark was right!

The evening didn't start that bad, no really they just seemed to get along all very well.
Jodi chatted with Sandy like they've both been friends for ages, Mark just grinned, knowing that not only Jodi's a good actress...
At one point when Jodi started cuddling with Kian, Mark just pulled Sandy as close as possible and kissed her very passionately, so that Kian had problems to stay calm! - Oh, man. He's so jealous... -
To give the boys time to calm down, the girls went to the kitchen for preparing the dessert.
After chatting on for some minutes, Jodi turned the switch and asked Sandy very directly "What's going on between you and Kian?" she looked angry at her rival. But Sandy did expect something like this (wouldn't be the first time...).
"Jodi, what do you mean?" Sandy looked astonished at Jodi, playing innocent.
"Come on, Bitch! I've seen you both fooling around at the club the other night..." Jodi was almost freaking out but her voice was still lowered. Her eyes were only slits now.
"Oh, that... - Don't mind, Jodi. Shit happens when people are drunk, ya know!?" Sandy just shrugged her shoulders (she was a bit disappointed by the fact that Jodi hadn't much more to offer...).
"Liar! Tell me the truth!" Jodi was still upset.
"Fine! - We have a past but that's a long time ago. Ya really don't need to worry..."
"And what about Mark? Does he know about that?" Jodi raised the next question.
"Of course, he does. Remember? He's one of YOUR boys' mates." Sandy was still calm.
Jodi wasn't convinced but she couldn't imagine that somebody that calm could lie that good (but she was so wrong!).
"Okay, let's keep this between you and me. The boys don't need to know!" Jodi decided a bit more relaxed. "Sure, no prob' with me." Sandy returned seriously.

A few minutes after they'd finished the dessert, Sandy decided that's time to leave.
She looked innocent into Marks eyes and said "Darlin', it's time." and smiled at him so lovely that he'd imagine what must have happened. "Sure, Hun!" Mark replied and got up.

When everybody was standing to say goodbye;
"Jodi. It was a very nice eve. Hope we can repeat this at our place sometime..." - Sandy played on the game.
"Sandy. Thank you for coming. It was my pleasure to welcome you both." - Jodi was in her best role ever...
When Sandy hugged Kian goodbye, he whispered "See ya in the mornin', Love." and kissed her on the cheek. The boys hugged and the girls shacked hands...

In the car again:
"That was an easy one..." Mark grinned.
"Ya can tell... - but something is going on with that girl. She's clever AND an actress. But she can't fool me! - This screen's not over yet, brother." She grinned more evil.
"Yeah, you're right. I did catch her eyes looking jealous when you hugged Ki... - What did he say?"
"The usual, that he'll have breakfast with me..."
"And what happened in the kitchen?" Mark asked.
"Did ya hear anything?"
"No, but by your look I could tell it wasn't a girls chat in the usual way..."
"No, not really..." and she told him.
"Uh, so we need to take the play to the next level!?" Mark suggested.
"Looks like we have to... - By the way: Are ya boyz invited to the biz party next Saturday?"
"I think we are. Why?"
"Luke wants me to show up there. A few old fellows will be there. - You might need Nicky to watch out for Kee..." she suggested to her little brother...
"Does that mean, J, Abs, and of course Jamie will be there too?"
"Totally right, brother!" she grinned evil again...
"Puh, that is going to be a hard night than..."
"It will ..." she sighed.

The next morning:
Sandy heard a key opening her front door, knowing Kian's entering her home.
She was still in bed because she had been out partying with Mark to cheer up again and relax from their little acting.
Kian sneaked into her bedroom. "Hun? Are you awake yet?" he asked softly.
"Hmm, not quite. Com' on in." she waved him towards her bed. With a smile on his face he got out of his shirt and jeans and lay down beside her. They cuddled for a while until both were in the mood for more intimacy.

The both were in the kitchen for some coffee and toast.
"Love? - Was there anything in that kitchen yesterday?" Kian asked his (everlasting) wife.
"Why?" she was standing with her back to him.
"Oh, she acted a bit weird when you both left..."
Sandy turned round and looked straight into his eyes. "How?"
"Ya know that affectionate stuff that I hate so much."
"She's really a rival, I see..." she looked doubtful.
"She's not equal for ya!" Kian wanted to convince his wife.
"Kee, why does it take ya so long to split up?" Sandy asked seriously to her husband.
"What? - Ah, ... well, every time I start a quarrel she gives in too easily to split up..." he defended himself.
"Oh, Kee. Not again!? You're excusing for your non-encouragement. - Look if you don't want to split up with her, than just don't come around here anymore!" she knew exactly where this would lead them to, if she ... "NO! You're my wife! How could I don't want to be with YOU again? I'm so happy to have you back in my life..." he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her softly on her neck.
"Are ya sure, Egan? - You know what happens otherwise..." she threatens him.
"Yes, I know... but not this time! - I love you, and only you!" he kissed her again; again and again... till she turned round to face him and he looked into her oceanic eyes and kissed her passionately.
She remembered the party on Saturday. "Kee? There's something more we need to talk about... I'm afraid but I'll be at the biz party..."
"What's wrong with that?" he looked surprised.
"... meeting J, Abs and Jamie..." she continued, worried about his reaction on these names.
"Oh, no! No! Come on, Hun. Those times are over, aren't they? Please tell me ya won't..."
"I know ya show up with Jodi. So don't freak out if I'll have a good time with me old mates and me first love!? Will ya?" she moaned.
"NO... I won't promise ya that! - I mean, I know exactly what these boyz are up to if they see ya..." he was crying out with jealousy...
"Egan! Stop it! - You're the one still fooling me, remember? So behave yourself and do what you need to do!" she was pissed now...
(How could he ask her this, if he was doing exactly this since... - uha!)
"Baby, NO! - I can't stand looking at you with one of these... ya know that?!" he was almost begging her.
"Ki-an, ya need to leave now or you'll be late for the studio! Mark's picking ya up in two minutes." - She'd call her brother while Kian was showering...
"That issue isn't through yet..." Kian was still moaning while she got him his jacket and him putting on his shoes.
"It is, darlin'! It's up to you now..." she'd made her decision.
The door bell was to be heard and Sandy told Mark that Kian's down in seconds.
He pulled her near to give her a last kiss "Love ya, my Love..." he said softly again.
"I do too, me Boo. - But remember its Jodi OR me, not both!" she warned him.

In Mark's car:
"Hey, ya." Mark greeted his band mate.
"Hey..."Kian was concerned about what Sandy said last. - would she really role back old times? -
"She gave you a hard start in the day?" - Mark knew his mate well enough...
"Yeah, she did. - She told me about the bloody party... and the bad boys!" he shook his head.
"Sorry mate, but ya know it all depends on you..." was all Mark replied.
"Ah, I know! But how do I get rid of that chick?" Kian was angry and confused.
"Don't ask me!" Mark was looking astonished.
"Why not? You're the master..." Kian replied.
"KIAN! It's serious! - For one time in your life, ya do something right regarding me sister!"
"Mark? - I think I need to confess something..." Kian had no choice...
"What?" Mark was alarmed and stopped the car to hear what Kian's got to tell.
"Sandy, ... she's ... oh, man! ... I'm married to her since the day after my 18th Birthday." - He said it! "You're what?" Mark was gasping.
"I'm sorry..." Kian was relieved and sad.
"That's the worst joke you've ever made, Egan!" Mark yelled at him.
"It's not a joke, Mark!" Kian tried to calm his mate down.
"Man! That's why she always gives you another chance..." Mark was breathing heavily.
"You know how much I loved her!? And I was scared to lose her just because being away with Band and all those rumours about other girls..."
"You had a few..." Mark interrupted Kian.
"But not like that..." Kian tried to defend himself.
"Like what?" Mark wasn't getting the point.
"Like really loving a woman like your sis and want to spend the rest of my life with only her!"
"Why did all this crap happen than, if you'd love her like that?" Mark couldn't resist asking for that.
"We were young, too young to be bounded this close. She'd been in the papers with J and I was jealous. We had a quarrel and she told me to give up on her. But I refused."
"Egan, what do you wait for now? She could easily slip away again, ya know her..."
"Yes, and I'm worried. Not only because I now the Bad Boyz of the biz, no. It's more because of her trying to get over me if I don't split up with Jodi."
"So why don't ya?" Mark was asking the final question.
"Shall I tell her, *Sorry, dear. I'm married to Sandy and continue with my wife now*? And she'd be rich when telling to the papers. And you should know your sister well enough on this point..."
"Yes, I do, for sure! - So, how'd ya wanna proceed?"
"If I'd have a clue..." Kian was desperate.
Mark continued driving to the studio.

They were late now, but they blamed it on the traffic.
Whenever their minds drifted to this conversation earlier that day, they nodded to each other and still looked unsuspectingly.

Days went on again but Kian still didn't know what to do...

So it was Saturday's party:
Kian was frightened; he'd know her well enough to expect the worst.

Sandy was dressing herself for the party while chatting with her friend who dropped in to stay a couple of nights. Both advised each other what to where... Finally they got styled very sexy, went down for the limo that Luke send them.
By the time they arrived at the party all the celebrities had arrived too.
The doormen greeted Sandy knowingly. "Welcome Mrs. O'C. - Have a nice eve!" "Thank you, we'll sure have..." she replied nicely.
Inside it was crowdie and she met a few old acquaintances, not only of the music biz...
"Hey, ya! Sandy, you're back, Darling?!" - "I don't believe my eyes?- Ya look gorgeous as ever, Hun!" - "Babe! Have a ball..." - "Girl, have a seat and a drink with us..." everybody seemed happy to see her but she knew the difference between real good friends and these acquaintances - most of them were just interested in her relationship to Luke, who's a very important man in the European Music Industry.
When she passed a dark haired man he turned round and a deep voice called her name "Sandrea." It wasn't loud but she heard it and the voice made her shiver.
"Dave." She managed to smile at the man. "Ya still look cute..." he mentioned.
"Heard ya going solo, man." she started a non-relevant conversation...
"Yeah, as you told me ages ago..." - oh, she'd remember well... he told her she's mad!
"So, where's you're lovely wife No.2?" she asked. "Dancing with... I think its Andrew."
"Who? - You're kidding?! He's back?" she searched with her eyes all over the place to find him. "Searchin' for someone, Sweety?" someone kissed her shoulder. She frightened and turned round. "Andrew!?"
"Still am! - You're not the only one that's back..." he gave her a face that her recon very well and she started smiling at him happily. "You dare look at me like this..." she grinned.
They chatted a while talking about good times and stuff like that till she decided to move on to get a drink with someone else.

At the bar she met Jamie. "Hey, ya!" - "Hey, gorgeous." They kissed their hellos.
"What's the news?" she asked him with an evil smile. "Oh, ya read the papers, do ya?"
"How couldn't I... - so, you got yourself into trouble?"
"I'm not sure if it's mine... she's not the true kind either!" he moaned.
"Well, Hun, who is...?" she moaned too.
"What about Mr. E? Saw him sneaking around here somewhere..." he looked around.
"I know he's here. He's got a girl with him..."
"I read the papers too, Hun! - So what are ya up to? Can I or the boys help?" - still the old pal...
"Well, I might come back on that, later..." the evil grin turned wider...
"You're always welcome, Darling!" Jamie kissed her, whispering "He's only ten feet away..." and she put her hands on his hips to kiss him tenderly...
Kian saw it, of course! He was trying to stay calm but it gave him a hard time...

Sandy went on to some other pals - J and Abs.
"The boyz..." she grinned down on them as she stood in front of their table.
"Babes!?" Abs pulled her down on his lab to seat her, kissing her on the cheek.
They chatted a bit when Abs recon Kian sneaking around.
"Sandy? Egan is round..." he whispered to her.
"I know..." so she had to tell the both what she was up to and Abs agreed to play his part of the scene.

The night went on and when the DJ played "Drinking in L.A." Abs and Jamie danced with Sandy and they sang the lines *what the hell am I doin' drinking in L.A. at 26?*
They had a ball...!
Kian was almost freaking out! He was more than jealous - he was frightened to lose her!
He drank more and quicker than ever before and when Jodi tried to stop him he told her to vanish and that he had enough of her. (He really broke up with her...)
But Jodi was clever enough to see what twisted his brain and so she stood up, went down to the dance floor and joined the three dancing.
Sandy only lifted an eye brow continue to dance not without a twinkle to Abs, who got the point and pulled Jodi close. So did Jamie with Sandy.
Mark and Nicky were really busy to calm down Kian... he gave them a hard time, man!
When they managed to get him out of the club without causing any sensation, it was Jodi's time to have a fight with her rival. So she leaned over to Sandy. "Let's go for the ladies!" she ordered and Sandy knew what rolled up to her now...

Instead of the ladies room Jodi led Sandy to another quiet room, with no listeners.
Jodi wasn't as tough to continue the show and so she freaked out.
...
"You'll never get him!" Jodi yelled at the girl.
"I don't want him! Keep him, until he'll have enough of you!" she replied quite calm and turned away.
Jodi wasn't convinced that she finally should get rid of that girl now. That would have been too easy... But she sure knew that she'd lost Kian- 'at least for the next time!' she thought.

Mark and Nicky stayed with Kian that night, so he would do any harm in his mood.

Sandy had guests for the night as well, her friend, Abs and Jamie.
She woke up beside Jamie...
"Morning, Princess!" he smiled at her.
"Morning, Lord Dicky..." she grinned but turned to the shower as soon as possible.
The four had a small breakfast (mainly coffee and some headache's...) and were all a bit silent. Jamie and Abs than left and Sandy was busy the next day with her friend.

After two days Mark called her.
"Sissy?!" - he used to call her this when it had to be serious.
"What is it, broth?" she was concerned.
"Ya need to come to the hospital." Mark replied silently. "Kian's poisoned by alcohol..."
"Which one?" she asked. He told her. "On my way! Stay there!" she hang up and grabbed her keys and left. She got on her motorbike to drive through the mad town more easily.

In less than half an hour she was at the hospital.
Nicky caught her at the entrance so she could pass the securities.
She greeted everyone shortly to enter Kian's room as soon as possible.
She was shocked to see him pale and looking very small in this bed. He was still unconscious. She grabbed a chair, sat down and took his hand to let him know she's with him now. She didn't say a word for more than two hours. Mark came in too, handed her a cup of coffee and told her what the doctor's said. The next few hours would decide if he could make it through or not. She just nodded and Mark hugged her.

She was alone with Kian again and her mind worried about him the same as her heard did.
"Kee? Me Boo!? - You won't leave me, will ya? Not because of this...?" she kept on talking to him for the next hour. All of a sudden she felt his hand pressing hers. She was not sure what to expect and looked to his face to see any reaction on it. His closed eyes flashed for a few moments till he opened them a bit to blink a few times. One of the machines beeped and a nurse and the doctor arrived to check Kian.

"He'd be okay in few days..." was the relief she needed to hear so badly that she started crying the same moment.
As the Doctor left, Mark rushed in to find his sister crying and his mate caressing her hair to calm her down. Mark jumped back outside to tell the others and now everybody was rushing in, all being relieved that Kian was going to be okay again.
The nurse had to make them leave the room and only Sandy and Mark could stay.
When Mark was convinced that she's fine he'd left not without asking her for her keys.
"Why that?" she asked irritated. "I don't want you to be alone at home later on. I'll stay at your place till Kian comes home." He smiled at his big sister.
"Oh! Alright than. There you go." She passed him the key to her flat and he left.

"Babe?" Kian asked weakly.
"Yes, Dear!?"
"Stay with me, will ya?"
"Of course, Hun!" she ensured him.
"No, not now. Forever!" he begged her.
"Are ya sure?" she looked a bit disbelieved.
"Never was more than now!" his voice became stronger.
"I'd love too, ya know already..." she kissed him tenderly.

So when Kian left the hospital, still a bit weak, he'd stayed at Sandy's place. She pampered him in everyway possible and he became stronger and stronger... Mark used to drop in daily and so did Nicky and Gina every second day. Shane, Brian and Kerry used to phone every day.

Kian finally returned to the studio and everybody was pleased to see him alive, lucky... and in love. He told everybody of the reunion between him and Sandy, but actually he didn't need to mention - everybody could see...

So the recording was almost finished now and it was about time to start rehearsing for the next tour. But before it was season's holiday. Kian was taking Sandy to the Egan mansion to spend Christmas with his family and in between with the Feehily's of course.

On December 28th Sandy was more than quiet; she didn't say a word at all most of the day. Kian wondered what could bother her and asked her about it. "Nothin' Hun." But she couldn't convince him. "Tell me!" he ordered. "I want to go for church this eve. Ya wanna join me?" she replied instead. He thought for a second but decided to do so. "Yes, if ya don't mind..." but she just nodded and went to their room to change for church. She got back in a black pair of trousers and a black warm pullover. Kian changed too, decided to dress up in black either.

So they went to the evening mass.
While the priest was speaking Kian got to know what she was thinking of all day.
It was the day of the innocent children.
He squeezed her hand and she smiled for a second.
His thoughts went to what could've been... they both having a little child beside them...
They both lightened up a candle and he was still holding her hand. Now a tiny little smile appeared on her face.
He just took her into his arms to hug her and kiss her tenderly. He had made a decision...

The next day he suggested paying a visit to Gina and Nix and after phoning them to clarify; they packed their bags for a few days.

In Dublin, the four spend a lovely evening together and enjoyed a nice quiet night.

Next day;
Kian asked Nicky for a ride to a football match. Nicky wondered for a second but agreed. While going upstairs to change cloths Kian told Nicky what he really was up to.
"You're what?" Nicky was astonished.
"Keep it down, will ya? You're gonna crash it..." Kian clapped Nicky on his arm.
"Sorry..." Nicky grumbled.
So they both head off the Byrne's house.

The girls weren't wondering about their crazy husbands anymore...
They continued chatting and it turned out to be a nice ladies day...

In the evening the boys spoiled their girls by going out for dinner to a fancy posh restaurant.
After that Kian went for a single ride with Sandy to Dublin's castle.
After walking around a bit in the night lights of the castle they stopped at a point to have an amazing view over Dublin. Sandy was leaning her back to Kians chest and sighed.
"What is it, Hun?" he asked worried.
"Nothing, really! I'm just so happy..." she sighed again.
"Hmm, so am I..." he kissed her neck tenderly.
He took off one hand to take something out of his pocket. He showed to her a little box and when he opened it, she looked at a plain white golden ring with a single diamond.
"I never gave you a real good wedding ring. But I would like to do now and ask you to marry me once more, officially and with all families and friends this time." He was talking directly into her ear.
"Ah..." was all that he heard.
"Sana?! Are ya alright, Dear?" he pulled her a bit closer.
"Yes... yes. - I didn't expect this to happen..." she was gasping.
"I hope you didn't..." he grinned.
She turned round to face him and kissed him tenderly on his lips.
"You're out of your head, Boo!" she smiled at him so lovely.
"Shall I take this as a Yes or what?" he was joking.
"You better do...!" she pulled him a sleeve away just to pull him near again and to kiss him again. He took the ring off the box and strokes it on her left ring finger. (The old wedding ring was on their both right middle finger, so only they know...)

Back at the Byrne's Kian proudly announced the second wedding and of course they'd need the same witnesses to the marriage... Gina and Nicky were obliged!
Nicky had prepared a little party and they spent a funny evening sharing memories of the first wedding.

The night Sandy and Kian spend cuddling and making love very tender, like they didn't want to break their new bound...
Both slept well in each others arms.

The following days they were busy to arrange everything for the *official* wedding.
Okay the first wed had only been a civil marriage, so the second would've to be only at church. "Love? - Ya know what that means for the both of us, swearing at church?" Kian asked Sandy. "Yeah, I know... Are ya sure ya could deal with this?" she replied with a tiny grin. "No more fooling around!!! Just YOU, you and you..." he restarted kissing her.
"Hope ya never forget..." she grinned her evil smile...
"Don't ya dare to grin like that, Hun! That scares me to death..." but he grinned too.
When Kian told Sandy that he already confessed to Mark about the first wed, she was glad and angry at the same time, she'd liked to tell him from the very start but she knew that he wouldn't have kept that secret...

So the both went back to Sligo, to tell the Feehily's first. Oliver was very happy to hear they both would reunite in the old fashion way. Marie cheered and Mark was happy too.

Now it was time to tell the Egan clan. At first Sandy was welcomed again by all the members, they knew her so well and loved that she's back but they screamed the roof off when they got to know about the wedding.
Kian was surprised when his older sisters and brothers told him that they always liked Sandy most of all the girls he'd had.
Sandy was busy with Colm. The little fellow adored her so much she couldn't get rid of him (She didn't want to neither...).
Patricia looked at the both and whispered to Kian "She'll be a good Mum..." Kian looked to his little brother who meld in the arms of Kian's (already and going to be) wife and knew his Mum was right.

On new years eve, Kian pulled Sandy closer and didn't care about everybody looking at them on the party they had been invited to.
"Darling?" he asked all of a sudden. "Whatta?" she looked into his blue, bright and sparkling eyes. "I'm looking forward to grow very old with you..." he laid his head on her naked shoulder.
"Do you have a clue what to expect?" she grinned again but not that evil...
"No. But I live much more intense now." He kissed her on her shoulder.
"Surprise, surprise..." she kissed him on the forehead.
Mark came to interrupt them. "May I have a dance with my sister, mate?" he asked Kian grinning evil... "Just because you have older rights..." Kian returned the grin.
"Oh, yes! I do have..." he took Sandy's hand and led her to dance floor.
While Kian watched them he didn't feel jealous anymore, he knew now that nothing could take her away from him anymore.
And also when the other mates danced with her, he didn't feel jealous.
He got up to have a dance himself with her. She cuddled into his arms and looked straight into his loving eyes. "I do you too." She whispered. "What?" Kian asked astonished and looked deeper into her eyes. "Oh... sure!" Now he knew what she meant...and kissed her.
