Love will keep you up all night by Ozbsbgirl
Chapter 1 by Ozbsbgirl
People thought that they knew practically everything about Nick Carter, member of Backstreet Boys. They thought that they knew his every move, his every emotion. But what they didn’t know was he had a double life. Only something that his immediate family, the other members of Backstreet Boys and their families knew of. Not even many of his closest friends knew. One little slip of the tongue and his big secret would be out.

Nick Carter partied with plenty of women when he was doing promotional things for the band and his solo album, mingled with all the beautiful women. Women were dropping at his feet. People thought he had the perfect life. Money, fame, security of a home, life security if one day everything suddenly changed. But Nick didn’t have the perfect life. He was far from having the perfect life.

Everyone asked him questions about his marital status, is he dating someone? Who is that woman that smiled at Nick in the street, who sat next to him on an airplane going somewhere. Nick always had to deny people, he thought he might as well have a tape recorder and save his voice. He felt he was wasting his breath.

Every night when he finished work, wherever he was in the world, either his home in Los Angeles, or Tampa or in a hotel somewhere around the world, he would be there alone, not wanting anyone to know, almost in tears because he wanted to have the life everyone else was having, like his best friend Brian Littrell and his family. Nick looked up to Brian so much and also with Howie Dorough and his family.

Every night, Nick would do his normal nightly thing, prepare dinner for himself, do some work on his solo album, watch a bit of TV, play his computer games and before he went to sleep....call his family. No, not Aaron, Angel, Leslie, BJ or his parents, his own family. His fiancé and son.

When Backstreet Boys were touring Australia on their Never Gone tour, each Backstreet Boy had a personal Australian assistant on top of their own personal assistant. Nick met Sarah at his hotel room and was informed of what she would do for him while he was in Australia. Sarah was the same age as Nick and they got along famously. Sarah thought that he would be demanding but he wasn’t. Sarah spent quite some with Nick and for some reason they clicked instantly. Wherever Nick went, Sarah went. She went to all the concerts, all the clubs where Nick made appearances along with the other members of the Backstreet Boys.

The entire two weeks Backstreet Boys were in Australia, Sarah was available to him. Brian saw them two click. Brian was always protective of Nick, ever since they met. They had been through a lot together. Brian saw the change in Nick in the week or so. Sarah had almost changed Nick’s life around. But Brian didn’t want to say it to Nick. Nick wouldn’t want the big brother talk as if Brian was stepping the mark.

Their final night in Sydney, 2nd last night in Australia, Nick and Sarah were in his hotel room talking, something that wasn’t meant to be happening but Nick didn’t care. He didn’t have anyone to talk to at night after the show when the others went to bed. After talking into the small hours of the morning, one thing lead to another and they slept together. Sarah had expected Nick to be up and gone early in the morning but he was still in bed, laying there next to her as she slept.

When Nick left Australia to head off to the next country, Sarah was with him. If Sarah could, she would have personally escorted him onto his flight but had to say goodbye at the departure gate for internationals. Before he left though, he gave Sarah his number and his contact details. Sarah in turn did the same, knowing that this was a 2 week fling and nothing would happen. But something did happen. Only hours later, that night when Sarah was home in her apartment in inner Melbourne, her phone rang, Nick calling. Sarah was surprised. As the days and weeks rolled on, she began to realise this was something.

Three months later Sarah and Nick were still communicating on the phone and also my email. Sarah worked as a Personal Assistant on a temporary basis working for people in the entertainment industry and it took her around Australia. This particular morning Sarah had just come out of the bathroom when her phone rang.
“Don’t let that be work.” Sarah groaned as she got her phone lying down on the couch.
“Hello.” She answered.
“Hey Sar how ya goin?” Nick asked.
“Yeah alright, how’s things are you? Where in the world are you?” She replied.
“Yeah I’m ya know. Where are we? I don’t know. It’s daylight, I know that for sure.” Nick laughed.
“Oh you. Such a blonde!” Sarah managed to laugh.
“Hey, you alright Sar? Sound a bit blah.” Nick asked.
“Gee thanks.” Sarah replied.
“So what’s wrong?” He asked.
“Oh god.” Sarah moaned.
“Sar what’s wrong?” Nick asked worried.
“I’m alright, seriously.” Sarah replied.
“Yeah right, pull the other one. It doesn’t even work with me. You know you can tell me anything. Nothing I’ve heard before.” Nick said.
“Believe me, you wouldn’t have heard this one before.” Sarah told him.
“Try me. I been around, I’m broad minded.” Nick continued.
“I’m pregnant.” Sarah said.
“That’s fantastic. Congrats!” Nick replied.
“Thanks.” Sarah said.
“Is it? Is it fantastic?” Nick asked worried.
“I don’t know.” She replied.
“Sar, what’s wrong? Anything I can do to help?” Nick pleaded. I couldn’t keep it any longer.
“You’re the Father.” She told him.
