September 1994

In a short few weeks, Alytain had embraced Hannah as his baby mumma. He almost kept her by his side every waking moment.

Hannah struggled to deal with the paparazzi following them, she struggled with trying to keep her identity hidden, she struggled to keep her bump safe.

Alytain couldn't wait to parade Hannah around.

Avros took pride in changing Alytain's reputation from a party boy to a wholesome soon to be father.

Hannah sat down at the side of the stage, she watched Alytain fidget in his seat. She had come to learn that Alytain hated interviews.

She looked up at the small crowd in the audience, some were here for Alytain while some were just here to be part of the show's taping.

Avros stood by Hannah's side, he claimed it was his idea for bringing Hannah into Alytain's life, he took the credit for the upcoming arrival of Alytain's child.

"Welcome back ladies and gentlemen." Flora spoke, her accent was greeted with warm cheers from the audience.

Hannah shifted her attention to Alytain, he suddenly sat still. Alytain suddenly looked as if he was ready to catch questions.

"Today we have our special guest, the one who we all couldn't wait to see." Flora's smile brightly beamed under the studio lights "His got a reputation as the UK's biggest bad boy now his changed his tune and not just musically." Flora spoke calmly as her words felt insulting to Alytain. "Please welcome, Alytain."

The audience gave a small cry of cheers.

Alytain looked up at the small crowd, he nodded his head gracefully "It's great to be here." He shifted his attention off camera to Hannah, he could see she wasn't cheering. Alytain took a slow exhale as he shifted his attention to Flora.

"It's certainly been quite a while since you and I caught up. So tell me everything, how have you been? What are you doing with your music lately."

Alytain took his time to soak in the questions "Well Flora, since you and I go back quite a while, I think you'd know what I've been up to." He playfully winked at her.

Flora flustered a little as she laughed.

The audience allowed their laughter to filter through.

Hannah squirmed a little in her chair, she wasn't sure if she was uncomfortable for the sake of being uncomfortable or for the sake of watching and knowing there was rumours about Flora and Alytain.

"Music is still music; I'm actually taking a break from it for a while."

The audience filled with a sad aw.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." Alytain looked up at the audience "I just want to spend some time with my girl and our first child." He made it seem as if he and Hannah had been together secretly for a while rather than a short few weeks.

"I heard you have a baby on the way, I didn't believe it. A guy like you with a stable life?" Flora laughed, acting as if she was joking.

Alytain felt her words stab into his heart "Well, Belle and I have been dating for almost two years." He lied "She's my best kept secret."

"So, she doesn't mind all the girls you bring back?" Flora twisted the question into his heart.

Alytain shifted his gaze over to Hannah, he watched as she lowered her gaze "Well, Flora." He firmly directed his attention to her "There hasn't been a line up of anyone." He lied as if he was telling the truth "Yes, I have invited people backstage, but nothing happens."

"Not what they say."

Alytain kept his cool "Well, at the end of the after party I go straight to the hotel to my girl. How else do you think I've got a kid on the way?"

Flora side eye glanced at the camera as the cameras kept rolling "Well, once a party boy, always a party boy."

Hannah looked up at Avros, she could see he wanted the scene to play out. She could see he wanted Alytain to take the hook and sink himself with it.

"Babe?" Alytain called out off camera "Am I party boy?"

A camera twisted it's attention to Hannah, Flora watched with excitement.

Avros stared down at Hannah, he watched as she proudly stood to her feet, watched as she placed her hands on her bump.

"Well, babe. You do know how to party, and I certainly have proof of that." Hannah smirked as rubbed her stomach.

Alytain knew he had found someone who could compete with his cheekiness.

"How about we invite Belle onto the show?" Flora encouraged.

Hannah shifted her attention to Avros, Avros nodded slightly.

The audience cheered.

"We'll cut to a break than we'll be back with Alytain and Belle."

The cameras tilted low as the red light turned off.

A makeup artist rushed up to Flora, checking her makeup hadn't changed under the studio lights.

Alytain reached for a filled glass of water on the small table by his side, he took a sip.

The floor manager assisted Hannah towards Alytain, a chair was placed by Alytain's side.

"Does she need a pack?" The floor manager spoke into her headset. "All good."

Hannah watched as the floor manager encouraged her to sit.

"Back in five." The floor manager shuffled off the stage.

Alytain placed his glass down back on the table, he wrapped his arm around the back of Hannah's chair, he leaned closer to her ear "Thank you." Before kissing her cheek.

Hannah lifted her gaze to his eyes "Welcome." She whispered.

"Six." The floor manager counted loudly as she returned to her spot.

Hannah watched as the floor manager lifted up her hands and used her fingers to count down from five.

Hannah placed her hands over her bump, she wasn't sure what to do.

Hannah watched as the floor manager pointed to a camera as a red light flicked on.

"Welcome back, just before the commercial we caught a glimpse of the woman who stole Alytain's heart. So, naturally we invited her to share his spotlight and tell us about their story." Flora kept her focus on the camera before slowly shifting it to Alytain and Hannah "Is it strange to finally be publicly introduced to the world."

"Just a bit." Hannah let her nervous fill her tone "It wasn't something we had planned." Hannah looked up at Alytain, she could see he was silently agreeing with her on that.

"How's it been dating him? I know his reputation certainly wouldn't of been easy."

Hannah shifted her attention to Flora "It wasn't, I won't lie about that. But honestly, we have enough trust in each other to know the truth."

"And that is?"

"I'm more of a party girl than him." Hannah laughed.

Alytain liked the joke, he honestly laughed alongside her.

Flora let a small hint of laughter escape from her lips. "So, you were the one inviting the girls back?"

"Flora, hunny. I was the one inviting everyone backstage." Hannah's personality had changed, it was almost as if she was pretending to be a female version of Alytain.

Alytain cheekily smirked as he felt relaxed by Hannah's side.

"How did the two of you meet?"

Hannah looked up at Alytain, this was going to make or break their lies.

Alytain glanced down at Hannah "It's okay, you can tell her."

Hannah nodded slightly.

Flora sat comfortably in her seat, she hoped she was about to hear something dramatically juicy.

Hannah shifted her attention to Flora before smiling "Well, we just happened to be at the same party. We were inseparable for the whole night, we swapped numbers. Of course, party boy here ended up going home with someone else and I ended up going home with my girlfriends."

Alytain didn't find an insult in Hannah's lie, he felt trust in her words.

"So, how long did it take before the two of you started dating?"

"Almost five months later." There was some truth in Alytain's answer.

"Five months? Ladies and Gentlemen, did you hear that? Our party boy took his time." Flora looked up at the audience.

"Actually, it was me who forced him to take his time." Hannah injected.

Flora shifted her attention to Hannah.

"Like you said, Alytain has a reputation. I didn't want my heart broken, especially not publicly." She sadly looked up at Alytain, he glanced down at her "I still don't want my heart broken." She whispered to Alytain "I didn't want us to be public because it'd hurt more if we were public." She kept her gaze on Alytain "It wasn't until we found out I was pregnant."

Alytain could see it in her eyes, there was fear hiding behind her gaze "I guess I got too excited." He half-heartedly smiled"I love you, Belle." Alytain softly pressed his lips up against Hannah's.

Flora watched the two of them, she loved that she could milk the moment.
