Meanwhile back at Dori and Seb’s place, the twins and Leila Elena had been napping, along with Cyd and Suzie. Just as the guys had scheduled and planed, the ladies had done the same. Suzie needed to keep tabs on the tallies from the money coming in, keeping mainly in the background so that was one less worry. Siobhan would be backstage to make sure the other artists were ready and keep in contact with those at the house. Dori and Cyd would divide their time between the concert and the children, so that would be off of Sebastien’s and Carlos’ mind.

Cyd knew it was going to be hard for her but leaving the things in the room for Carlos, was harder than she imagined. She couldn’t let him see her tear stained cheeks so she left before he could see them. As much as she wanted to see the opening she couldn’t chance it, so she watched from the house instead, crying herself to sleep. She too had been a fan first, but she and Carlos had met away from the bustling crowds associated with Il Divo.

Mandi had decided that Mathew was going to make a great dad to their own child. She was now 4 months along and was starting to show. Mathew was, at that moment, playing “tickle monster” with the girls, who were screaming in delight at this new game. Moments later, Yannic decided she had enough of Uncle Mathew and turned her attention to the closest chair. She looked at it curiously before starting to pull herself up, falling on her bottom a few times, but determined to stand. Mandi was into the craving stage now and decided to make herself a sandwich. Mathew called her into the living room and she walked in to find Yannic trying to stand and Allie crawling fast to join her twin in the standing process. Leila Elena however was not to be left out. She decided to get in on the action by calling to Mandi loudly for a diaper change and attention.

Cyd and Suzie had quietly padded into the dining room and were having coffee, watching the twins trying to stand. They laughed at the end result, being they ended up on their bottoms every time, but they were determined little girls. Each of them knew they would soon get the hang of it. Cyd wondered when it would be Leila Elena’s turn to try as well. She still marveled at all of the stages Leila Elena had been through so far as she kept track of all of the little things in her notebook, to share with Carlos later.

Soon Mandi had the girls dressed in their T-shirts Dori and Mandi had purchased along with Leila Elena. Now everyone was dressed in their concert outfits once again. They were ready to go down to the concert to see their daddies and enjoy the music for awhile. Mathew made sure the girls were secured in the car seats before he took the short cut down to the field, coming up by the trailers for the guys and out of view of the audience. Dori and Siobhan were there waiting, knowing they wanted to be ready to see their daddy when he came off stage.

Sebastian was just beaming from all of the excitement of the songs and the concert audiences. He could feel the energy coming from them. They left the stage and headed back to their trailers to change for the next set. They had arranged with security to have the children at the concert receive free T-shirts saying “I CARE” on them as a last minute, unannounced surprise. Siobhan had told them the children would be moved closer to the front of the stage so they could be more involved with the next set.


Now Siobhan and Urs were talking quietly as he held her close. A moment later, they made their way to his dressing room trailer for the wardrobe change. Once the door was closed firmly, Urs took a moment to kiss her deeply, lightly brushing back a strand of hair as he held her face warmly in his hands. She helped him change, wanting to hold him close, but knowing he needed to stay on schedule. Her mind toyed with the different ways she would help him relax later, when they would have a bigger break as other artists performed.

As David looked around, Suzie sneaked up behind him, covering his eyes gently, whispering, “Guess who?”

He blushed and smiled broadly, gently sliding her hands down to his lips to kiss them softly. As he turned to greet her, he noticed she was wearing a headset and carefully moved the microphone part out of his way before he kissed her. Softly, he whispered, “Please tell me that thing is turned off… I don’t want the crew hearing any of this. I’ll never hear the end of it… please?”

Suzie nodded, returning the kiss and moving her right hip against him. They both glanced down and saw the red light showing Soon they made their way back the hallway. He changed quickly, kissed her and seductively switched on her headset. “Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…” he said laughing.

Smiling contently, Sebastien made his way past Siobhan and Urs to his dressing room/trailer. Yannic squealed with delight when Sebastien walked in the door. Allie started reaching for him right away, jabbering away as usual. Dori had to hand Allie to Sebastien before she worked her way out of mom’s arms, which made Yannic yell loudly wanting daddy’s attention for her self. Sebastien just smiled and gave Dori a kiss and one to each of his girls.
