Together At Last

[Miranda]

Aha, he sneaked in and was eavesdropping

Yes, I don't think I can write as any character in the first person, I've never done it in any fic on BTTB, its always in third person. Hats off to you

[lozlovesh&a]

Thanks! And yes I like how he sometimes sneaks in and overhears stuff.

[Miranda]

Well noticed about Liam being the sort of character to sneak in and overhear stuff, I hadn't noticed he was like that in H&A til now...!

Another great chapter, well done.

Perfect characterisation as per.

Nice update, I like the way you make the conversations flow naturally.

The next morning I knocked on the door of the Summer bay house.

“Doors open” I heard Nicole call out.

I walked in and found Alf, Morag, Miles and Roo all seated at the table talking amongst themselves. Nicole was making herself a drink and Romeo was nowhere in sight.

“Hey guys” I said.

I got chorus of hellos.

“Do you want a drink or anything?” Nicole offered.

“Oh no thanks, I actually wanted to talk to Alf for a moment” I said.

“Sure love, what’s up?” He asked.

“Well I was actually wondering if you would do something for me” I started.

“Yeah sure, what do you need?” Alf said.

“The first person I thought of is you for this and I would love it if you would walk down the aisle with me and give me away” I said nervously.

“I’d be honoured” Alf replied.

“Really?” I asked relieved.

“Yeah of course Bianca. You know I think of you like a daughter and I’m really touched that you want me to do this for you” he said.

“I can’t think of anyone better then you” I said. “I’ve realized why I didn’t ask you for my first wedding because I didn’t really care about anything but this time I do”

“Well love you just give me the date, time and place and I’ll be there” he said giving me a hug.

“Thankyou, it means so much to me” I said.

“I know” he said.

“Well I better go meet Liam” I said.

“Hey do you want to grab a juice later on?” Roo asked.

“Yeah sure” I said.

“Great, say around 3 at the juice bar?”

“See you then” I said. “Bye everyone”

“Bye” They all said.

As I walked out I heard Alf talking to Roo.

“I’m really glad you and Bianca are getting along” he said.

“Yeah dad she’s really nice, I like her a lot” Roo said.

“Good. Because she means as much to me as you do”

“I know Dad. I really think are going to get to a place where we could almost be sisters” Roo said.

I smiled to myself as I walked away.

“What’s with that big smile girlie?” Irene asked as I walked into the diner.

“Alf is giving me away” I said.

“That’s great darl. I’m so pleased for you” she said.

“Thanks” I said.

“Now are you meeting your man here?”

“Yeah”

“If your meeting Mr Murphy here you should be respectful to others in the room and not make out as much” Colleen said as she walked past us.

“Oh put a sock in it Colleen” Irene said. “And take these out to table 2 please”

“Fine, I was only saying”

I rolled my eyes.

“Colleen” Irene grumbled.

“Okay I’m going I’m going” She huffed.

“Sorry love” Irene said.

I shrugged. “It’s okay” I said.

“What’s okay?” Charlie asked appearing at my side.

“Oh just Colleen being her usual self” Irene explained. “Do you want your usual darl?”

“Yes thanks” Charlie answered.

“How’s work?” I asked.

“A bit slow today” she answered.

“Well that’s good isn’t it?”

“Yeah it just means I can concentrate on paperwork” she grimaced.

I laughed. “I know what you mean. I don’t like marking all that much”

“I can’t imagine reading the same thing over and over again”

“It does get a bit tiring at times” I said.

“Here ya go love” Irene said handing Charlie her lunch.

“Thanks Irene” Charlie said.

“Your man not here yet darl?” Irene asked.

“Not yet” I sighed.

“Don’t worry he’ll show up” Charlie said. “I have to go. See you both later”

“Bye darl” Irene said.

“Bye Charlie” I said.

“I can give you a hot chocolate while you wait for him” Irene offered.

“Yeah okay thanks” I replied and sat down at a free table.

“Baby I am so sorry, I didn’t mean to be late” Liam said giving me a kiss.

“It’s okay” I shrugged.

“No its not” Liam insisted. “I was talking with my manager and I have some really big news”

“What is it?” I asked.

“Well you know how Kylie Minogue is coming in June” he said.

“Yeah?” I said getting excited.

“Guess who is going to be her support act” he said.

“Ahhhh” I screamed. “OMG”

“I know I know” he had a huge smile on his face.

“Babe, wow I’m so happy for you” I said giving him a big kiss.

“Its going to be so much work and the only downside is I’ll be away for awhile” he said.

“I know. I always knew that eventually you’ll be on tour and we’d have to be apart for a bit. But at least we’ll be married by then”

“Yeah and I want you to come to a lot of the shows if not all of them” he said.

“I will don’t worry, I’ll be there as your biggest supporter. Plus also Kylie’s” I grinned. “Will I get to meet her?”

Liam laughed. “Yeah I’m sure you will” he said.

“OMG I’m going to meet Kylie” I said in disbelief.

“I knew you’d be happy baby” Liam said.

“Oh I so am” I said.

“Are you guys ready to order” Irene reached our table.

“Irene guess what?” I asked. “Can I tell her?”

“Yeah of course” Liam said.

“Well come on, what?” Irene asked.

“Guess who is going to support Kylie Minogue when she comes down here” I said.

“Hmmmm… is it someone called Liam Murphy?” she teased.

“Yes it is I” Liam grinned. “I can’t wait”

“I’ll bet you can’t. Congrats darl” Irene said.

“Thanks” Liam said.

“Well your meals are on the house”

“Oh no Irene you don’t have to” Liam protested.

“Nonsense. I’m very proud of you Liam and this is my way of showing it” she said.

“Well thanks Irene. That’s very kind of you” he said.

“Just wait till I tell April. She is going to freak out” I said as Irene walked away.

“So is it true?” Leah wondered over.

I smiled at Liam. “Is what true?” I asked playing dumb.

“Bi-an-ca” Leah exclaimed annoyed.

“If your asking if its true that I’m supporting Kylie Mingoue then yes it is true” Liam answered.

“Wow, congrats” Leah said.

“Thanks” Liam replied.

“What’s going on?” April asked.

“I am supporting Kylie Minogue on her tour here” Liam said.

“Ahhhhh what?” April screamed.

Liam grinned. “Yeah it’s true”

“OMG OMG” April started to jump up and down.

I couldn’t resist but to join her.

Leah laughed and walked back to the kitchen.

“Guys” Liam looked at us like we were crazy.

“I’m sorry but this is just so exciting, aren’t you excited?” April asked.

“Yes of course I am but I’m not about to jump up and down in the middle of the diner” he said.

I stopped jumping. “Babe, you okay?”

“Yeah I’m all good, just a bit nervous that’s all, I mean I’ve never performed in front of that big of a crowd before” he said.

“Yeah that’s true but good thing is you’ll get lots of practice” April said as we sat back in our seats.

“She’s right you know” I agreed.

“Plus you can see how many fans you have. I’m sure there are heaps out there by now since your single has been released for a few weeks now” April added.

“It’s going to be all good baby you’ll see” I said kissing him.

“Yeah you guys are right, don’t know what I was freaking out about” Liam agreed.

“I am going to show you how proud I am later tonight” I said suggestively.

“Oh Bianca must you” April groaned.

“Yes I must” I said.

“Guess I won’t be visiting tonight” she grinned.

“Yeah please don’t come over” I grinned back.

Another fantastic chapter. Amazingly written as always. Well done.

I loved that Bianca asked Alf to walk her down the aisle. That was a really sweet moment.

Perfect & I look forward to more.

Love Carina xxx

[Miranda]

Ooh! Alf giving Bianca away and he thinks of her like a daughter

Liam supporting Kylie. Is this wishful thinking for Axel?

I love the way you characterise Irene with her 'darl' and 'girlie' all the time

[lozlovesh&a]

Who knows it may be wishful thinking for him...! I'm going to her concert in June, she is my fave artist so I just included her in there.

Stay tuned, wedding will be the next chapter... (Unless I change my mind!!!!) Ha ha.

Colleen's little reaction at the Diner made me smile.Looking forward to the next chapter!
