So I hope you all enjoy these first 2 parts of the final days of Queen's touring career, this one doesn't have anything bad, just WOODLES OF FLUFF AND GOOFINESS. Enjoy my lovelies and if you want u can watch the concert that I have linked above to follow along :)
_______________________________________________________________________
*July 11th, 1986. Wembley Stadium*
It was the hottest tour that Queen had ever done. In light of having just recorded some songs for a movie known as "Highlander" Queen came to the decision in calling their next tour the "It's a Kind of Magic Tour". A full on summer European tour filled with new surprises, new songs, and of course the partnership of the decade, for the Rock Angel was also in on the show as the supporting act.
So in reality it was really called Queen+Angel "It's a Kind of Magic '86" tour. Tickets were filling up and had sold out quicker than any tour in the past for both Queen and the Rock Angel. One place in particular ran out faster than anywhere else, and that was Wembley Stadium, so the tour managers of both Queen and the Rock Angel worked out that they would do 2 nights performing at Wembley so that fans could get the chance to see them perform.
*My POV*
I was currently in my dressing room getting ready when I heard a knock at my door.
"Who is it?" soon peeking inside was the face of my loveable husband.
"Fanclub of the Rock Angel, party of two." It was then Jack came in holding our baby girl in his arms. I smiled and turned towards them.
"Aww there's my little girl. Ohh darling you've gotten bigger since I last saw you." I cooed as I took my daughter in my arms and held her close. I kissed her cheek repeatedly making her coo and laugh.
"So baby about tomorrow when do you want to head out for our dinner date?"
"Oh Jack I don't know. I'm scheduled for a full rehearsal all day tomorrow, and then the concert. By then I don't know if I'll be up for anything."
"Then why not just a simple room service dinner and a bottle of champagne. Then I could make you a bubble bath and we could—get in together and......"
"Jack you dirty man. Not in front of our daughter."
"Ahh she doesn't know what all that means, do you sweetie bell?" Jack cooed down at her as he took her back and held her once more.
"I swear you're as bad as Roger and Jensen mixed into one."
"So how long do you guys got till showtime?"
"About ten minutes. C'mon why don't we go and try to find the guys?" I asked him.
"When did she last have her bottle?"
"I gave it to her on schedule right before we left the hotel. So she should be good."
"And how about her nappie? Does she feel wet at all?"
"You know I can never get used to that word, why do you guys call it that here?"
"Because we just do. And why did you Americans have to change it to diapers? I swear it almost sounds like you're saying diarrhea."
"That is not what it sounds like at all! Those are completely different words." Jack tried to defend himself and for all Americans in that manner.
"Whatever, but seriously does she feel wet?" Jack felt around and he said.
"Oh yep, it does feel a bit damp. Must've done it on our way here."
"Okay, c'mere love-a-bug. Let's change your nappie." I placed her on my loveseat couch and took off her dress so that it wouldn't get wrinkled. Jack handed me the diaper bag and I took out the necessary things I needed.
Thank god for the Sensei-Veronica and her wise teachings about changing nappies. Cause boy when it came to changing her nappie, Kelly sure could throw a tantrum. She then began crying as I took off her diaper, her legs kicking in protest.
"No! No none of that now. We gotta get your wet nappie off of yah. Don't want you to go smelling like pee all day do we? No I don't think so." She continued to fuss and kick her legs as I threw the soaked nappie away, applied the baby powder and medicine on her, before finally getting her into a fresh nappie and putting her dress back on.
"Aww see there's our good girl, don't that feel better?" Jack said as he picked up our girl while I grabbed my Red Special. We then left my dressing room and went down the hall where I knew Freddie and Roger's dressing rooms.
Already from down the hall I could hear Freddie's vocal warmups. Which made Kelly alert and her eyes widened as she reached out. I gasped and said as I took her.
"Who's that? Who is that poppet?" I could even hear the faint echo of Roger's vocalization and at that point she let out a "Bah" "Yeah that's papa Roger and Uncle Freddie, shall we go say hello?" we then walked over to the dressing room but stayed hidden as to not ruin the surprise.
Freddie continued going up his scales in a scat like manner that he always did and that's when I heard Roger go.
"Oooh!"
"Ohh-Ohh!" Freddie replied in a slightly higher octave.
"Ohhh!" Roger sung again before Freddie and him laughed.
"Well I see you guys are doing your little vocal competition as per usual." I said as I came around with my family in tow.
"And I see you've brought the entire Kline clan with you." Freddie sassed back at me. I grinned and said as I adjusted Kelly.
"Hope you guys don't mind your smallest fan coming today."
"Of course not love, you know we love it when she comes to see us." Roger said as he came around and took his goddaughter in his arms. "Plus I thought that was her making all that fuss, for a moment I thought it was her mum." I mockingly gaped at him. A wide, gummy smile spread across Kelly's face as her godfather played the helicopter game with her.
"Happy to see her again Rog?" Jack asked.
"Of course, last time I saw this adorable face was the around Christmas time. So it's basically been seven months, and she was still such a tiny thing. Kiddos growing like a weed."
"So how has parenthood treated you both?" Freddie asked.
"She's a blessing. I mean there are a few nightly wakeups but other than that she's good."
"Although she's still scared of the horses over at Jared's place. Anytime we go near them, screams her head off like a banshee."
"Aww poor baby, did the mean ole horsies scare you?" Roger cooed as he brought her close to him and bounced her up and down gently while rocking her soothingly.
"Well I thought I was hearing a baby earlier but I thought my ears were playing tricks on me." We turned to see Brian coming out from the tuning room, holding an acoustic guitar in his hand.
"Yep. Our mini-angel came to see us." Roger bragged as he bounced her once more.
"What do you say lovebug? Wanna go see Uncle Brian?" I said.
"No she doesn't, she wants to stay with god-papa Roger, isn't that right my little lovie?" he said as he softly tickled her tummy with just his index finger.
"Oh no you don't get to dictate on who she stays with. She loves all of you guys equally." I proclaimed as I took my daughter out of his arms and walked over to Brian and allowed him to hold her. "Careful now Bri."
"I know (y/n), I know this isn't my first rodeo trust me." He assured me as he held Kelly in his arms. Out of all the guys she was always entranced with Brian (probably because of the hair).
Sometimes she would reach out to touch it, and it goes either one or two ways either she tugs it, or she just holds a strand of his curls in his hand. The first few times she did tug at them, but then she relaxed and we told her not to pull it, but of course there's the occasional pull and tug.
Luckily this time all she did was touch it and even stroke her hand down, almost like she was petting a dog.
"I swear Brian dear you've got that little girl wrapped around your finger, and I'm the one whose supposed to spoil her." Freddie stated with a wave of his hand.
"It's the hair what can I say?" Brian said as he handled Kelly very delicately and allowed her to take hold of his finger.
"So there's no chance of you ever cutting it or even changing it, is there?" I asked.
"Not on your life my dear. Especially if this little one likes it, huh? Whatcha say Kelly?" she babbled and continued to grip onto Brian's index finger. She even started to nuzzle herself into his shoulder. We all awed and that's when I asked.
"So where's Deacy? I'd figure he'd want to see his little niece."
"He's probably up backstage with his Deaklings as well as the rest of the Queen family." Freddie replied as he stroked Kelly's head softly.
"So everyone else is here?" asked Jack.
"Yep, Chrissie brought the kids, and Dominique brought Felix and baby Rory." Brian replied.
"Well why don't we head up there now, seems like we've got about seven minutes till showtime." I said as I looked down at my watch. We gathered up our stuff and walked out of our dressing rooms from the bottom of the stage and headed up outside towards the stage entrance.
For some reason security almost wouldn't let Brian through because he didn't have a pass. So I spoke for him in the light of mentioning you can't have Queen without their guitarist (and I may or may not have threatened the guard to let him through cause Brian was still holding my baby and I wasn't gonna be parted with her for another second).
As the kids reunited with their parents and the crew took the backstage pictures that they wanted to get. I was sitting and watching as Jack stood beside Dominique as Kelly was entranced with baby Rory. Even with being six months apart, Kelly and Rory got along very well.
I was even imagining that when those girls got older, they were gonna be more than just cousins to each other. They would grow to be sisters.
"You doing okay love?"
"Yeah. Just—picturing what Rory and Kelly are gonna be like since they're technically sisters by law." I said with a soft smile as I turned towards my brother Deacy.
"Roger did luck out in making you the godmother. Seeing how you fit into the mother role so well with your own baby girl."
"That or to just make it even since he's Kelly godfather."
"Or that too you're probably right." I hummed a soft chuckle before turning back. "You miss her when you go on tour, don't you?"
"How could you possibly know that?"
"C'mon you've heard this time and time again sister dear. We know you too well. Plus I know firsthand how that feels. Remember I had my first child at around your age. So I know how hard it is for a first time parent to be away from their child for such a great lengths. But I have a feeling you're feeling it much worse than what I did, cause after all I didn't give birth to Robert."
That finally got a laugh, a real laugh, out of me which made Deacy smile and he wrapped an arm around me as I said.
"I just—I don't know how you guys do it every year. Every tour you all go on."
"Having children puts things in a whole new perspective. Same thing with relationships."
"I totally get your song now. The line 'I'm happy at home'. It all makes sense now. Because did you know that I missed my daughter crawl for the first time ever?"
"Really? Kelly's first crawl?"
"Yes. It happened during our show in Paris. Jensen and Jared came for a visit to our home in Napa, California and they were trying to get her to crawl. After hours of getting nowhere, when they had their backs turned, Jack came down from doing some laundry to see Kelly crawling across the floor. Of course poor baby ended up bonking into the couch but she crawled Deacy. And I missed it."
"It's hard missing those milestones. Believe me I would know. I missed Robert crawl for the Night at the Opera tour, during News of the World I missed Michael take his first steps. And my little girl Laura, she actually said her first word, and it was my name. Well title name, during the Hot Space tour. I was fortunate with Joshua but.... I can never take back the first experiences with Robert, my first child, or my only baby girl Laura."
"Oh Deacy I—I can't believe that. And here I am bitching about missing a simple crawl. Man I'm such a drama queen."
"No you're not. You're just protective and loving mama bear, well mama lioness I should say. After all you had Kelly inside you for nine months."
"Nine months and a week." I corrected him.
"Oh yeah, that's right." We both softly laughed and he said as his hand came up and ruffled my hair a bit. "But there's no doubt in my mind you'll make it up to Kelly. And there will be plenty of milestones to come, because she's gonna need someone strong to look up to, and I already know she has the best role model a kid could ever have."
"When did you ever get so wise?" I asked him with a teary eyed glaze.
"Comes with the territory, and experience. You'll get there one day."
"Thank you brother mine, really this talk....it's been the best relief I've had in a while. I don't even think I could've talked about this with Roger or Brian."
"I'm always here for you sister dear. And anytime you want to talk, I'm here for you." He leaned his forehead against mine and I closed my eyes and drew in his strength.
After the whole family reunion; it was getting close to showtime. We were escorted by our team towards the stage, all five of us pumped up on adrenaline. Even though I wouldn't go on till the guys started Under Pressure, I was still feeling the anxiety of going on stage.
"Good luck guys, I'll see you all in a bit." I told them.
"We'll see you then darling." Freddie said as he came up and kissed both my cheeks.
"You're gonna kill it out there as always."
"We try our best." Brian said as he tuned his Red Special. As the opening for 'One Vision' began echoing through the speakers and we could hear the audience clapping along and cheering I knew it was time. The guys got into position and I waited backstage from my spot on stage where I would enter and I heard the roar of the crowd as Queen finally made their appearance.
As always Freddie was extravagant on stage, a living legend and a God amongst men. With songs like "One Vision", "Tie your mother down", and a surprise for both me and the audience two oldie but goodie songs of Queen, "In the Lap of the God (revisited)" and "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Tie your Mother down" and "It's A Kind Of Magic".
During "A king of Magic", giant balloons of the guys' cartoon drawn selves from the album were floating and bouncing amongst the crowd and it was comical to see. Once the song was over Freddie starting doing his vocal echoes with the crowd. As usual they replied back to him with each vocalization that Freddie gave them.
If he held out a note, they did the same thing. But I was noticing that his voice didn't hold the same amount of power as it used to, even kinda cracking but he still powered through it.
"I can't go any higher than that. Aye-Oh! Let's go down. Aye-Oh!" Either it was just due to age or just due to the fact he's been working his voice so hard, but it surprised me that Freddie couldn't go higher than he just did, cause just a year ago he was able to. But he still held a long "Aye-Oh" just like he did last year during Live Aid, which I admired. "Fuck you." I grinned and shook my head.
you cheeky son of a bitch." It was then Deacy began playing the bassline for 'Under Pressure'. One of my roadies "Lucky" handed me my mic and he gave me a thumbs up and I mouthed a thank you. I shook my jitters out as Freddie and Roger began the song.
*Roger and Freddie*
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you no man ask for
Under pressure that brings a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da that's okay
*Freddie (Roger)*
It's the terror of knowing
What the world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream
Let me out (Let me out!)
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
Okay
Chippin' around
Kick my brains around the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
De do
People on streets ee da de da de
People on streets ee da de da de da
I had my Red Special on hand, I took a deep breath as the two volunteers pulled back the slaps of the see-through curtains and I walked through the smoke and sung the next verse. And as soon as the cameras showed me, everyone was in a roar of applause as I came right up and stood next to Freddie.
And as agreed for this performance whenever I came in at the second verse, I would go up in my high, controlled alto range with Roger and Freddie backing me up before Freddie ended the bridge.
*Me*
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream! (let me out)
Pray tomorrow higher
Higher high!
*Freddie*
Pressure on people
People on streets
When the bridge came out, Roger, Freddie and I sang in a mezzopiano volume before Freddie sang the rest of the bridge before Roger and I came in on the first "Why". Then to show off my vocal range, I did a sorta 'Freddie' vocal with my why's and adlibbed a bit. Before we ended back together.
All the while Fred and I danced around together, even sharing his mic at one point as I joined Brian on guitar.
*Me, Freddie and Roger*
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
*Freddie*
Keep coming up with love
But it's so slashed and torn
*Me and Roger*
Why
*Me*
Oh why.
Tell me why?
*Freddie*
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
*Both*
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love give love give love give love
Give love give love give love give love give love
*Roger, Freddie and me*
'Cause love's such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And loves dares you
To change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
*Freddie and Me*
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
Freddie and I hugged and kissed each other.
"Ladies and Gentlemen the Rock Angel herself Mrs. (Y/n) Kline!" Roger spoke into his microphone. I bowed graciously as the crowd roared in applause.
"HELLO WEMBLEY BEAUTIES!" I then saw Rock Angel signs being raised high in the sky like a banner waving in the wind. I then heard Deacy strum and fiddle with his bass another familiar bassline.
"I'm feel a little boogie coming on, what do you think?"
"I'm feeling it to Fred." I spoke into my mic before proclaiming to my dad, "HIT IT ROGER!!" He gave us a beat before counting into the microphone.
"1 2 3 4!" And it was then he and Deacy began playing "Another one bites the dust".
"Hey! You both called me out." Freddie spoke. I grinned at him and began playing alongside Brian as the crowd began going crazy and clapped along.
During the song it was like a little competition between Freddie and I. He would sing the first verse, then get the crowd rolling to sing the title of the song with Roger backing him up. Then it was me and Brian getting the crowd pumped up during the second half of the song. Then during the instrumental break, he and I would have a "Scat-off" which is basically all the 'be-boops' or "de-ba-ba-boop" scats that Fred is known to do very well.
We would even have a competition between the guys and the girls to see who could chant the title out louder. I obvious led the girls and Fred led the gentlemen. Before the two of us would end the song together, and by the end of it all as the crowd cheered, Fred and I hugged each other once again.
After dabbing his face with a towel and I already needing to get myself wiped off from the summer heat as well as the beaming lights, I went up and stood by Brian who was up by the keyboard and he would tell me that now was the time when I would play his guitar part for their newest song, "Who wants to Live forever". Fred took a sip of beer before saying into the microphone as he walked further up towards the edge of the stage's catwalk designed specifically for him.
"You know something there's—there's been a lot of rumors lately. About a certain band called Queen, along with a talented female artist known as the Rock Angel. The rumors are that uhh—the rumors that we're all gonna split up and—break our partnership, what do you think?" at that point the crowd began booing and crying out in protest.
It's true. I don't know where or how it came to be. I mean I myself have heard the rumors about Queen cause to my knowledge, they are literally the longest band to stay together without fully breaking up. I mean yeah there was that break 2 years ago, but Freddie and all of us learned to forgive and forget because we're family.
And families have their fights, but it's those fights that keep us together. But now some of the press are saying that Queen is planning on splitting up, and that I may also be thinking about severing my ties with Queen. To fully go off and no longer want anything to do with them.
And it warmed my heart to see Freddie pointing to his ass before proclaiming.
"They're talking from here!" I grinned and nodded as the crowd cheered. Brian placed his arm around me and I leaned my head against his chest and wrapped my arms around him. "My apologizes but I say what I want. You know what I mean. So forget those rumors, we're gonna stay together until we fucking will die I'm sure." The crowd cheered and I nodded. "I keep—I must tell you, I keep wanting to leave but the Devil Angel back there won't let me."
"Watch it Mercury." I warned him into my microphone as the crowd laughed and cheered. He grinned cheekily at me before blowing a kiss my way and I blew one back at him, but also snuck in the finger.
"Also I suppose we're not bad for four aging Queens and an eternal youthful angel, are we? Really what do you think?" the crowd whistled and exploded with an applause.
"I'd say you guys look great. Better than ever even, what do you all say?" at that point I heard some airhorns go off.
"But you my fine Angel. Serious folks some may not know but that angel right there, just became a mother for the first time ever just several months back last year." At that the crowd went awe and I even heard some shouts of congrats and cheers, mostly from the women in the audience "And she's positively glowing, what do you all think? Cause she's been saying all tour how she wasn't ready to come out just based off her body now."
At that point the crowd all booed at the last part and I even heard some men shout out "YOU'RE STILL BEAUTIFUL!"
"YOU'RE A FINE GIRL ANGEL!!"
"WE LOVE YOU ROCK ANGEL!"
"Thank you all it really means a lot to me. At first I didn't even want to do this tour but—it not only took these four misfits to get me back on stage, but all of your love and support. So I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you." I blew the audience a kiss and whether it was the hormones I still had or just seeing all this support from thousands and thousands of people, I honestly got a little teary eyed.
I wiped them away so that I wouldn't be crying on stage but I could hear the sounds of the crowd awing me. It was then I felt Brian give me a real hug and he said in my ear.
"You're still beautiful (y/n). We all love you." He gave me a kiss on top of my head, which showed up on the cameras and I continued to try and suck in my tears.
"Thanks Bri." I said to him before we separated from each other. "Okay," I spoke into my microphone, "Before you all truly make me cry. This is a new song of Queen's 'Who wants to Live forever'." The audience clapped and that's when Brian led in on the soft and gentle intro before Freddie's voice entranced the audience.
Just like Brian had taught me the scales and notes for this song, I came in when necessary while he kept at the keyboard. When the solo came on, I walked up center stage onto the catwalk and performed the solo which had the audience cheering and whistling as Queen came back on the song.
I got to sing the backup vocals alongside the guys by the end of the song, Freddie sung out the last line as I gave the whammy bar a soft shake to make the last note of my Red Special vibrato a bit before we finally closed the song.
The concert continued with a couple more Queen songs before we did some of my songs like "Rock the World", "Who I am", "So good", "Shallow" (accompanied by Roger, with Fred conducting the audience to sing along since he knew this song was special to me and Rog), and a new song from my recent album, a song I called "Rush". After that, Roger, Deacy and I left backstage to change while Brian and Freddie took over the stage with "Love of my Life" and "Is this the world we created".
After that it was time for a little close in personal bonding time as all five of us came down the stage, Rog with the tambourine this time, Deacy and Brian standing at each end, me standing between Rog and Deacy and Freddie (who was now sporting a police officer's helmet) gathered around as we began to sing our 'medley' songs like.
"(You're so square )Baby I don't care".
"Hello Mary Lou".
And some new songs of mine, one of which I had dedicated to the guys called "Protecting me".
"No One"
"Tutti Frutti"
Then there were the more popular songs of Queen like their famed "Bohemian Rhapsody", the audience participation that was "Radio Gaga", the groovy dancing of "Crazy little thing called love", the head banging that was both "Hammer to Fall" and my famed song "Set it all Free" (which was more of the audience singing the song and all I did was sing the chorus).
By the end of the entire concert after singing the last two songs "Friends will be Friends" and "We are the Champions." Freddie came out for the first time on stage in his kingly attire that consisted of a very long red and white robe and a king's crown that had red velvet inside and had jewels that could actually rival the actual Crowned Jewels of her royal highness.
Like the true Queen he was, he held his crown out to the audience as the boys and I rocked out the final part of the song and once we ended the song, Deacy, Brian, Roger and I came down with Freddie and waved goodbye to the crowd.
"Thank you, you beautiful people. Goodnight, God bless you." Then as a final touch to the end of the tour we decided to add something special. You know how in every Queen concert you hear their rendition of 'God Save the Queen', well for my second album, I included me actually singing Britain's National anthem. And thanks to the brilliant mind of our sound department and sound mixers, they've found a way to combine the two versions together so it sounded like I was singing alongside Queen's recording.
All for this tour.
As the five of us waved goodbye and I could hear them singing alongside me, I came up to Freddie who had actually placed his crown on top of my head and he bowed before me. I went along with the act by knighting him with his music staff before he stood up and wrapped an arm around me and the two of us walked out, waving and blowing kisses to the audience with the rest of the boys trailing behind us doing the same thing.
After all that, we quickly raced out towards the back where the cars would take us back to our hotel. So all of us gowned in our after concert robes, mine being a red with white wings on the back quickly raced out with my assistants by my side with towels or water as we quickly raced towards the cars.
I got in my car and as soon as I got in, my driver took off back for the hotel. When we all finally arrived, we all had a celebration up in Freddie's suite with some drinks (non-alcohol due to the fact we had a show tomorrow) and food. It was a small family party really with all our loved ones surrounding us and congratulating us on yet another successful concert.
The next day it was the same thing all over again at the same place. But I began to notice that Jack was acting a bit strange today. He knew that today was our 2nd anniversary and yet he was playing it off like it was no big deal.
I mean yeah I told him I would be busy today rehearsing for today's concert but I would've thought he'd at least wish me a Happy Anniversary. But here's the catch, whenever I tried to talk to the guys about it, they also waved it off like it was nothing and told me to keep busy.
So I decided was going to get to the bottom of this.
"Now we sure she doesn't know anything about it?" I heard Brian say.
"Oh she doesn't have a single clue darling." Freddie's voice rang out proudly.
"Shhh! Fred lower your voice. Do you want her to overhear you from her dressing room." Roger hissed.
"Too late!" I made myself known. They gasped and turned towards me all huddled together, almost like they were hiding something. "Alright spill it, what are you four Queen's up to?!" I demanded.
"Up to?"
"Up to?"
"Up to?"
"Up to?"
They all chorused out one at a time starting from Deacy, Roger, Brian then Freddie. Brian began stammering trying to find the right words while Freddie threw some accusations at me for thinking that they would be behind something devious (coming from the most devious one of the Queens, that was just rich).
"We want you to rehearse the drums for 'Now I'm here'." Deacy blurted out.
"That's it!" proclaimed Roger. Soon I was hurried out by all four members with Brian and Freddie gently pushing my back or shoulders, while Deacy and Roger each had my wrists gripped in their hands as they proceeded to drag me away from the room. All four of them agreeing with Deacy's statement.
"But I wasn't told I had to do the drums in tonight's show." I said to them.
"Well things have changed darling."
"Yep and you're skilled enough to learn it." Roger said as he handed me his drumsticks and kissed both my cheeks and nose. "Now go and practice at my kit love."
"And don't rush through it." Advised Brian
"Take all the time you need." Said Deacy.
"Practice, practice, practice." Freddie proclaimed. I rolled my eyes and went on to practice at Roger's drumkit. I waved them off and turned the corner to head up to the stage.
*3rd Person POV*
The four band members continued to wave so long to her, then when she turned the corner, Deacy muttered.
"You still think she doesn't suspect?"
"Of course not Deacy dear, now c'mon." Freddie turned with a clap of his hands. "She's gone!" he proclaimed and that's when her roadies, costume designers, hair and makeup team as well as Jack came out.
"You've kept her busy?" Jack asked.
"Yep. Got her practicing the drums. And she always struggles with 'Now I'm here' so she'll be there for a while." Said Roger.
"Excellent, okay everyone I've got your assignments. Hair and makeup, I want you all to make sure that tonight she looks her best, including waterproof mascara." Jack explained.
"Yep, cause lord knows she'll be bawling her eyes out once we execute the surprise during the show." Freddie said.
"Costume designers, make sure she wears the dress I had picked out once Brian and Freddie begin 'Love of my Life'."
"Right-o Jack. And may I just say you picked out a wonderful dress for her to wear. It'll fit her like a glove." Her head costumer Phillipe said.
"Thanks, and roadies, you all are in charge of setting up the color themed lights for our dance, as well as the video projection of our wedding."
"We're on it Jack." Said Lucky, (Y/n)'s head roadie.
"Okay now we don't have much time, get going go!" Jack said with a flick of the pencil to the clipboard and the Rock Angel's team all scattered to get ready. "And you guys will come out with the cake right?" he said to Roger and Deacy.
"You can count on us Jack." Deacy said.
"Ohh she's gonna be so surprised!" Freddie said with pumped up fists.
"And guys, thank you again for helping me plan this. After last year's anniversary kinda going down the drain due to late rehearsals for Live Aid, I wanna make this up to her."
"We're happy to help you Jack darling, anything for you two." Freddie said with a pat on his shoulder. Jack smiled at the frontman of Queen and said.
"Okay, before she gets even more suspicious, let's head out and see if we can help the others." The band nodded and they left the room and helped out around backstage.
*My POV*
As the hours ticked by, it was finally concert time. It pretty much ran the same way as it did yesterday with the songs in the exact order as we sang them yesterday.
But what was odd was that just before 'Now I'm here' which the guys told me I was gonna drum to, my roadies and agent pulled me aside and my wardrobe and makeup people began to fit me into something else. I was now sporting a wine ruched bodice high silt velvet dress.
The two spaghetti straps were snug against my shoulders and the slit in the dress only came up to my mid-thigh and was barely noticeable unless you moved and exposed it. I was also forced to wear 2 inch black heels and my hair was done up even curlier than before.
"Okay Phillipe what in the world is going on?"
"My darling I am sworn to secrecy I cannot explain." He said in his heavy French accent.
"Then can you at least tell me where this dress came from?"
"Maybe from a secret admirer no?" he teased as he told me to look up and he applied some mascara on me. "Ahh and there she is our beautiful Rock angel is complete!"
"Oh wait one more thing," his assistant Marie said as she came up with a wand and gave me some wings at the corner of my eyes.
"Oh brilliant Marie. Now then my dear, let's get you back on stage."
"But how am I gonna perform looking like this?"
"Oh don't worry it mon Cherie. Now go out there and be beautiful. Kisses." He kissed each of my cheeks before he and Marie shoved me out and shut the door.
"God what the hell is wrong with everyone today?" but I walked back towards the stage. When I arrived I could still hear the roar of the crowd and that's when I saw the lights go down and a spotlight came onto Brian as I could hear him prepare to play 'Love of my life'.
"This is the point where the guitarist gets to speak, now and again." I grinned softly. "And today I don't have very much to say except thank for you making this the hottest ticket we've ever seen. You're great we love you." He played a few more chords before then saying something that caught me off guard, "But tonight, tonight is something very special. And I'd like all of you to give a warm welcome back onto the stage the beautiful Rock Angel (Y/n) Kline."
Oh god, with me looking like this I'll be totally out of place but Phillipe and Marie went to all this trouble and work and I hate to disappoint them. So I slowly walked out from backstage and I could immediately hear the wolf whistles and proclamations of love. I smiled and waved before going up to Brian and I said.
"Tell me what's going on right now May or I swear your Red Special will be missing by morning."
"Just trust us darling." He said to me.
"We'd also like to bring out another special person," Freddie said as he came up beside me. "He's the one who took this lovely Angel away from us, and was also the one who knocked her up." I slapped his arm which made the audience laugh, "But he was also her bass player for a time, ladies and gentlemen give a warm Wembley welcome to Mr. Jack Kline!"
The audience cheered loudly as Jack came on the stage sporting a white button up shirt, dark grey pants, and his hair sleeked back. I looked at him and my heart went BOOM! But with that boyish grin, it also made my stomach flutter. He came up to me and took my hands in his and wrapped them around his neck.
"For you see two years ago today, was the day these two young turtledoves became one." At that point the audience awed and was in a roar of applause. "So this song is dedicated to them, Happy Anniversary Jack and (Y/n)." Freddie said. Finally Brian began playing the final opening chords before Freddie began to sing "Love of my Life".
a slow dance together. What was even more romantic was when Freddie conducted the audience to sing the song, and Jack stopped dancing and had the two of us look out as the audience sang.
Jack's cheek and brought him down for a kiss which made the audience cheer and whistle.
*Freddie*
Love of my life, you've hurt me
You've broken my heart and now you leave me
*Audience*
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me, because you don't know
What it means to me
*Freddie and audience*
Love of my life, don't leave me
You've stolen my love, you now desert me
Love of my life, can't you see?
Bring it back, bring it back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know
What it means to me
You will remember
When this is blown over
Everything's all by the way
When I grow older
I will be there at your side to remind you
How I still love you
*Audience*
I still love you
"He still loves you (y/n)." Freddie spoke as he came up to us which made the audience cheer.
"I love him too." I said into Freddie's microphone and as I kissed my husband of two years once more under the pink lights that shined down on us, the audiences whistled and cheered. The sweet sound of Brian's acoustic playing and the warmth of my husband holding me in his arms as we continued to sway, had me feeling like I was in heaven.
It was then I took notice of the monitor and saw that there were pictures of us playing on the screens in a slideshow format, some of is were just us goofing around from the summer we met, to our first Christmas and birthdays together, then finally our wedding pictures.
*Freddie*
Oh, hurry back, hurry back
Don't take it away from me
Because you don't know what it means to me
*Audience*
Love of my life
*Freddie and Audience*
Love of my life
Ooh, yeah
As the song ended, the slideshow ended with Jack and I at the wedding doing our first kiss as husband and wife. It also did a cute little editing of fireworks and a heart around the two of us before finally ending in elegant cursive writing.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY JACK AND (Y/N) KLINE.
Jack then softly dipped me before capturing my lips with his and I gladly accepted the kiss. I stroked my hands through his hair and down his jawline before he sat me back in the upright position, as the crowd was in a roar of whistles and exclamations.
By this time I was in full on waterfall moment as tears kept pouring down my face. I hugged my husband before turning to Freddie and hugged him. He patted my back and kissed my temple then I turned to Brian. He wrapped an arm around me and kissed my other temple before saying.
"Happy Anniversary love." I turned around and that's when I saw Deacy and Roger coming out with a cake. The two of them grinning as they clapped along with the audience. I buried my face into my hands as I jogged towards my dad and brother and hugged and kissed them. Jack came up and wrapped his arms around me before kissing my cheek and the two of us stared down at the beautifully decorated vanilla icing cake with angel wings decorated around it with the words HAPPY ANNIVERSARY KLINES KLAN.
"As an added bonus; we've elected to give our beloved Rock Angel the rest of the night off to spend with her beloved husband who worked so hard to put this together." Freddie said into the microphone.
"Wait what?" I said through the crowd.
"We talked about it love and after having to miss your first anniversary last year for Live Aid stuff, we want you and Jack to have what you couldn't last year." Roger said.
"But what about the audience?" it was then I saw Deacy go towards Freddie and Fred handed him his microphone and for the first time Deacy spoke to the audience.
"She believes that she should stay here and continue with the concert. Should she?" at that point the audience all hissed in rejection, telling me to go and be with the love of my life.
"Seems your spoken for darling. Now go on you two crazy kids. Spend your anniversary together." Freddie said. I smiled and lowered my head when I suddenly felt myself being carried bridal style. Jack grinned cheekily at me before leaning forward and gave me another kiss and carrying me backstage, some of my roadies taking the cake back out.
Once we reached backstage, Jack set me down and wrapped his arms around me.
"I can't believe you did all this for me."
"How could I not? I know how devastated you were last year, so I decided to make it up."
"But you know I had said we could've just made it up with wine at the hotel after the show."
"I know that's not what you really wanted. I know when you really mean something, and when you said that to me yesterday you were just trying to cover up the hurt you thought I would feel fearing we had to miss another anniversary because of your career." Damn him, he's just as perceptive as Brian and Deacy combined.
"Oh Jack, I love you." I sobbed happily as I hugged him.
"I love you too baby, happy anniversary."
"Happy anniversary." With that we raced out of the stadium and caught a ride with my driver Louie.
"To Mazzello's Italian restaurant Louie, and step on it. We've got special reservations tonight." Jack said.
"Right away sir." Louie said graciously before starting to car and getting us on the road.
We arrived at the restaurant around 20 minutes later and that's when Jack led us inside after Louie wished us a Happy Anniversary, which we both thanked him for. Jack opened the restaurant doors for me and I thanked him in a posh tone before he followed in after me.
We went up to the front desk and Jack said the reservation name and the waiter confirmed it and escorted us up the stairs to the upper level of the restaurant. He then led us outside to the balcony sitting and it turned out we were the only ones there.
"Here we are signor, signora." The waiter said as he set up our table with our menus. Jack allowed me to sit down first and he scooted my chair in before he himself took a seat.
Our waiter came in and Jack ordered us the special champagne they had going on sale for tonight and we both ordered our meals. Jack ordered the spaghetti with meatballs while I got the Fettucine Alfredo with a side of calamari for the both of us.
Once our food came and we both began to eat, it was then I saw the band come up to us and I heard the accordion player begin to play a familiar tune. Oh my god no way, it was then he began to sing "Bella Notte" from my favorite Disney movie, Lady and the Tramp.
"Jack you didn't." I said in awe.
"I knew it was your favorite movie. So.....shall we give it a go?" he said as he held up a single strand of spaghetti.
"What did I do to ever deserve you?"
"Just lucky I guess." I then took one end of the spaghetti and placed it in my mouth as Jack did the same for the other end, till we both slowly came towards each other (timing it with the song just right) as our lips met in a kiss.
Like Lady did, I turned away and blushed thinking I couldn't believe I had done my fantasy dream kiss. I felt Jack take my hand in his and he stared at me with those beautiful blue eyes of his. He leaned his forehead against mine as the two of us fell under the spell of the Italian singers singing to us.
After dinner the two of us took a romantic stroll under the moonlight in the park. The streetlights and the fireflies being our only source of light, along with the full moon and the stars.
As we walked along the sidewalk, guess the two of us were too dazed and entranced with each other to realize we were now walking on wet cement.
"Oh bugger!" I swore as I laughed embarrassingly.
"Not really, look." He knelt down and drew a large heart with his first and last initial. I smiled and knelt down beside him and wrote mine in the heart underneath his. Then we imprinted our hands next to the heart before looking at each other smiling lovingly at each other.
Once that was done, we cleaned our shoes and hands off at a nearby sink and continued on our walk through the park. As we came to 'Lover's bridge' we stared down at the small lake stream that flowed under the bridge and watched as two swans swam together.
"Did you know that swans are known to be monogamous?" Jack asked me.
"Really?"
"Yep. It's even said that when they swim together, they can intertwine their necks into a heart. Which makes swans the sign of love." Jack said as his hands cupped around mine and when I looked down at my hands, I saw that both his and mine made a heart with mine being the inner heart and his being the outer.
I looked up at him and he looked down at me. He slowly leaned down towards me, his lips softly grazing against mine, his nose nuzzling against mine.
"I hope we can last forever, just like those swans down there." He whispered.
"I want that to my love." I whispered back as we turned back towards the water to see the swans intertwine their necks together to form the famed heart shape.
We ended our walk by sitting on top of a hill that overlooked the rest of the park and had a great view of the moon in front of us. Jack and I spoke not a word as we turned to each other. Because truthfully there were no more words that needed to be said at this moment.
I loved Jack and he loved me. As the two of us cuddled close together to stare up at the moon and enjoyed what this night meant to us.
The night we became "And", the day we became "We", the day we became husband and wife.
