DISCLAIMER: O-town, Backstreet Boys and N'Sync are all bands that I don't know. I am not implying anything here. This is strictly created in my fantasies. I wish it was actually happening but I highly doubt it. I am in no way affiliated with any of their records companies and anything to do with these bands. If homosexual content is illegal for you to read or you don't like it then please leave.
The only thing I have remotely in common with these guys is that Ashley Parker Angel and I were born on the same exact day-August 1, 1981.
FIRST THINGS FIRST: Ok so I've decided...much to the chagrin of Greybear...that I'm gonna run this set of chapters up until Dan and Devon's wedding (most likely chapter 25 of All I Need Is You and then pause with it and continue with "The Next Generation" for a few chapters, which of course follows the kids of these pop stars. A lot of people have been asking for it so I'm gonna do a few quick storylines in there, then maybe a few other things then get back to "All I Need Is You". If anyone has any storylines that they would like to see in here please email me and I'll most likely work it in somehow. After 66 chapters I will take anything I can get although I think you'll like the few I have coming up. Some good stuff for Josh/JC/Justin drama fans and of course the wedding. Keep reading!

All I Need Is You-Chapter Twenty-Three
Dan and Devon may have been in the back room but the party continued on outside. Ashley had finally made sense of everything that was going on and gave Nick a very weird look as he came over towards the table with a huge smile on his face.
"So this was the fantastic surprise huh?" Ashley asked as Nick sat down in the chair Dan was in.
"Yup" Nick answered still with a smile on his face.
"You're really proud of yourself aren't you?" Ashley asked with a laugh.
"You got it." Nick said now nodding his head like a little boy.
"Come here you dork." Ashley said as he pulled his husband over into his arms.
"Hey! I thought I did good." Nick said almost pouting but still snuggling up to his husband.
"You did. I hope they're enjoying the little present you gave them." Ashley said looking down at him.
"Oh I think they are. Looks like someone else is too." Nick said as he pointed over towards Trevor's general direction.
Ashley looked over at where Nick's slender finger was pointed and saw Trevor getting extremely close with one of the dancers as they grinded to the beat of the techno song being played. The couple watched on as Trevor begin to kiss the dancer, who was wearing just a tight black thong.
"Something's been up with him lately. Seems like trouble in paradise. Should we tell Lance?" Ashley asked.
"I think we should avoid drama at all costs. It's not our fight." Nick said.
"Well Trevor is my friend so I think I'll talk to him about it. Other than that I guess you're right." Ashley said.
"Of course I am. I'm amazing like that." Nick said in a joking tone.
"Oh I see how it is Mr. Amazing. Why don't you really be amazing and take me home so we can get up early and go get our new son." Ashley said.
"It would be my pleasure." Nick said as he got up and extended his hand.
Ashley got out of the chair and took his husband's hand and headed towards the parking lot.
Sleep was relatively easy that night. Both men held each other tight in happiness dreaming about little Randy. Their second child would be a welcome addition. Johnny loved playing with Cody whenever he was around but he really needed someone at home. Especially since it was going to be two boys that were close in age they could both watch out for each other over the years and could help each other through the tough times.
Morning came relatively quickly. They decided not to take Johnny to the hospital with them today, seeing as it was early and he might be cranky. Donna was waking up soon anyway so she could take care of him. Nick left a note on the table for her telling her they would be back later. He walked back upstairs into the bedroom and looked out the window.
Ashley was in the shower so Nick had some time to reminisce. He looked out over the Tampa morning. A dew was just drying up on the grass on the front lawn as the sun illuminated over the ocean. Nick was about to adopt his second child. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that when he was 14 he would have helped create a boyband, who would then go on to change the face of music forever. As if that wasn't enough he would find a man who loved him for everything he is and now adopt a second child with him. It truly was a crazy ride and he wasn't sure how he got there but he was there now and he was pretty sure that nothing in this world could be better.
A drawer closing pulled him out of his daydreaming. He turned around and saw Ashley in just a towel throwing some clothes on the bed. He grabbed some gel and put it in his hands as he looked in the mirror. Nick just smiled at his husband.
"Hey baby." Ashley said as he winked and then looked back towards the mirror to start getting ready.
Nick had a smile that was there directly out of comfort in his life. Everything was perfect. He watched as Ashley dropped his towel and walked around the room completely naked. He remembered when his lover felt shy and uneasy doing this. A lot of things have changed since then. He admired the way his husband's muscle definition glistened off of his body and the droplets of water on his shoulder ran down his back.
Nick went over and kissed him on the cheek.
"What was that for?" Ashley asked with a giggle.
"Just for being you." Nick said as he walked out of the room and towards the living room.
Ashley just looked into the mirror and shrugged.
'I love it when he's random' He thought to himself then finished getting ready.
Pretty soon the couple was on their way to the hospital. It seemed like they were always here. The colors of the walls, the feel of the bed sheets, the noises of the machines beeping was all second nature to them now. Sometimes though hospitals can be for good things. Nick and Ashley walked in with this mentality as they made their way to the maternity floor, or in this case paternity.
The nurse greeted them with a very large smile. Obviously this was going to make her day. With one last signing by each of them on the paperwork the baby was brought out wrapped in a blue blanket and handed to Nick. Ashley drew close to them and cooed the baby boy.
"Hey Randy. We're your dads." Ashley said as he touched the boy's nose, which drew a face from the small child.
Both men laughed.
"We're gonna bring you home to see your big brother now. He's gonna take good care of you." Nick said in baby talk as he smiled at his new son.
Both men were basking in the glory of their new child when they heard someone running down the hall yelling in their direction. Nurses were flailing wildly running after him to try and get him to be quiet. Ashley squinted a bit and noticed it was Trevor. With a sigh he turned to Nick.
"Take Randy home. I have a feeling this is gonna be more drama then any of us need right now. I'll catch a cab back home." Ashley said.
"Are you sure?" Nick asked.
"As sure as the day I met you. I love you." Ashley said as he kissed him on the cheek.
Nick accepted the kiss and began to walk towards the elevator. He knew that Ashley knew what he was doing and trusted him fully.
Trevor came running up to his band mate as the elevator doors closed. Ashley made sure they were on their way then turned around with a sigh to face Trevor.
"Ash, Ash. I knew you'd be here. I remember you told me yesterday." Trevor said.
"Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave." A nurse came up and said.
Trevor looked as if he was about to yell something out to her but Ashley stepped up and said something.
"It's ok he's with me...we were just leaving. Sorry for the commotion." Ashley said dragging Trevor towards the elevator.
Ashley brought Trevor outside and threw him against the building.
"What's your friggin' deal lately?" Ashley started yelling.
Trevor looked surprised. Ashley never got emotional like this.
"Yeah I told you I'd be in the hospital...picking up my newborn baby, which I can't see until I get home now." Ashley said.
"Sorry Ash I wasn't thinking." Trevor said.
"You haven't been thinking a lot lately. Look I know shit has been messed up with you and Lance but I don't think hooking up with one of the dancers was a good idea last night." Ashley said.
Trevor just looked down. Ashley might have gone too far.
"Why are you even here?" Ashley asked.
"I heard that Lance saw me walking out of the place last night. He came to talk to me and saw me and the guy get in a car together so he ran off. Next thing I heard he was in the hospital. They wouldn't tell me where he was though cuz I was acting kinda crazy." Trevor said.
"You gotta calm down Trev. Get your shit back together." Ashley said.
"I know Ash. It's just so hard." Trevor said.
"Look" Ashley said as he grabbed him and put his arm around his neck. "You know that the best times of your life were with Lance. You gotta fix this. You're going downhill man." Ashley said.
Trevor looked up and it actually looked like his words connected somewhere inside of him.
"Thanks Ash." He said as he gave him a hug. "Now can you help me figure out what room he's in."
"Of course." Ashley said as they walked back into the hospital.
Ashley walked up to the front desk while Trevor sat in a chair to show the nurses that he was calm now. Ashley came back and told him the room number.
"You gonna be ok by yourself?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah I'll be good. Go home and see your new son. Thanks again Ash. Maybe someday I'll have what you have." Trevor said.
"I hope so Trev. I hope so." Ashley said as he walked out the door and hailed a cab.
Trevor walked up to the room that Ashley told him Lance was in. He knocked on the door and slowly started to open it as he heard Lance answer. He opened the door and stood in the doorway. Trevor and Lance just looked at each other. Lance was in the hospital bed, gown and all with his leg up in a cast.
Trevor looked at his boyfriend in the bed. He wasn't even sure that they could call each other that anymore. It's been really ugly for them lately. This used to be a man he could always go to for support. He remembered how they met in a bar on Valentine's Day after Trevor was sick of watching the couples be happy. The two got drunk and ended up hooking up at Lance's house. He then flashed to laying on his bed talking to Lance on his cell phone singing O-town love songs to him, while Lance was on his infamous couch that he always did work on.
Trevor sighed. That was one of the reasons how all of this started, Lance working too much. He remember Ashley though, telling him to focus on the good times and everything will work out. He remembered back to when he and Ashley were walking on the beach and Trevor was called a racial slur by the drunk white men that night. He thought back as Lance comforted him that whole night, not saying a word just being there for him. It wasn't his place to understand what he was going through just be there for him until they both fell asleep.
That was actually the scene that helped bring Trevor back from his amnesia. He sighed again. The amnesia was another reason for this distance between them. This was going to be tough.
"Can I come in?" Trevor asked.
"If you want." Lance said with a face that almost pleaded for him to come and sit down.
Trevor took the chair next to the bed and pulled it out, sitting in it.
"Lance listen..." Trevor started but was cut off.
"No let me." Lance said as he put his hand on Trevor's, giving both a feeling that this might end well.
"Just the fact that you're here says a lot about you. I know a lot has been messed up between us and it has snowballed into one huge mess. I just wanna say that I'm sorry. I never wanted Joey to kiss me. I was so emotional that night after what you said with the amnesia that I didn't know who to turn to. I wasn't sure if you would ever remember who I was." Lance said almost crying now.
"There's no way I could ever forget about you." Trevor said still holding his hand.
"Well for a while you did." Lance said.
"I know and I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry for getting mad at you for working, I'm sorry for forgetting who you were, I'm sorry for being with that other guy. That's all I can say is I'm sorry." Trevor said letting it all out.
"No, no it's my fault. I'm sorry for everything, for not being there when you just wanted to hang out, for letting Joey come onto me, for just letting all this happen." Lance said.
Trevor knew they both had enough and they both learned their lesson so he leaned in and kissed his boyfriend for the first time in what seemed like forever. It had been rough but they were going to make it.
"How did you end up back here anyway? No one would tell me cuz I was running around like a mad man." Trevor asked.
"It's kinda embarrassing." Lance said looking down.
"Come on. I promise I won't laugh." Trevor said encouraging him.
"Well, I saw you with that dancer and I just got in my car and sped back home. I got home and was so pissed I just ran into my house in a rage. I wasn't even paying attention to where I was going. I ended up falling down the stairs, breaking my leg." Lance said.
"That's not funny at all. You could have really gotten hurt." Trevor said.
The two men continued conversation for the rest of the night. They drifted too far from each other recently and let too many things and people get in between their relationship. What they both needed right now is to just talk to each other. One thing that lacked greatly between them was communication. Sometimes just a word or some laughter can go a long way.
Erik decided to take the train into the studio today. He was feeling good about himself and wanted to take a little walk around downtown Orlando and take in the sights. He might even take a trip over to Disney and sign some autographs just for the hell of it. He was practically walking on air when he heard a voice come from the side of him and felt someone grab onto his jacket.
"Could you spare some change sir?"
Erik looked down and saw Joe, the same man he had given some money to a few nights before. Joe let go of his coat and fell to the ground. Erik quickly rushed to his side.
"Joe, are you ok?" Erik said shaking him.
No answer.
"Joe, please wake up." Erik said now yelling and shaking him violently.
Still no answer.
Erik quickly got up and scurried around.
"Someone help me please. My friend is dying." Erik said screaming out but no one seemed to care. He just stood there dumbfounded as people just walked by ignoring him.
Erik ran back to Joe and felt his neck for a pulse. He remembered back to when he was a lifeguard during the summertime at his local pool and how to check for a pulse. He found none however.
"No Joe please don't go." Erik yelled out now crying.
Joe lay there motionless. Erik saw something in his hand. It was the 100-dollar bill that Erik had given him the other night. Apparently, it meant so much to him that he didn't want to use it. Erik had made a difference in one man's life and maybe brightened it up just a bit before he died. Erik took the bill in his hand and stood up, pulling Joe's blanket over him in the meantime. He looked at it.
It was just money. To him and his friends it really didn't mean much and they threw it around pretty verily but to Joe it meant the world. Erik just stared at the money. He knew exactly what he wanted to do with it. Joe's death would be justified. He turned around and started walking towards city hall.
