Inside of her, there was a baby they had made that night. She'd never been a very romantic person, she didn't believe in true love or anything, but Glen had made her start to believe in it. Could she remove a piece of the man that had impacted her life for certain, there were always people that would leave an impact forever he would be one of them, with or without a baby. He'd be the one that got away from her, she'd truly loved him. Deciding not to make any crazy decisions, she headed to bed without dinner and crawled in the sheets, trying to figure out what to do. It was already 3 in the morning and she'd been thinking about any possibilities since ten in the evening. She simply couldn't help herself but cry in self-pity as she thought of everything going and the things that would change if she kept the baby.

"Sorry I was remembering something," Kate told Aileen when her cup of tea came back into vision. "It's alright, I can't imagine what it must have done to you. Glen told us that you tried reaching out to management but that George kept you away from him and that he made it sound that Glen didn't want anything to do with you." Aileen noted as Kate nodded her head. "His exact words were: "Woman you think you're the first one to call in with this, trying to sell me a story one of the guys knocked you up. He doesn't want to talk to you and I'd like it if you stopped calling." Kate remembered the words were still clear in her mind, it had been the final call she'd made shortly before her first scan.

"Glen would never have said that," Aileen told her as Kate nodded her head in understanding. "I know that it's just sometimes I think back to those moments and feel the anger when I felt back then return. its harder to just forget about it then. I was so angry that he wasn't even interested in his unborn child. I could care less about me, but Arthur hadn't done a thing wrong." Kate admitted as she looked down at her cup of tea, hating the fact that his mother was able to pull all of this out of her. She wasn't proud to admit this to anyone and most certainly not his mum of all people. It was hard to just forget though.

"I think it's normal to feel that way sometimes, you were lied to for years. And had to raise your little boy on your own. I think any mother would feel angry about that." Aileen told her in understanding as Kate looked up in shock. "I'm a mother too, we'd do anything to protect our children," Aileen told her as Kate nodded her head, before turning to look at her son, talking to his uncle at this point.

"I tried my best, I owe a lot to Will, Harry and Kate, and Pippa. I don't know what I would have done without them." Kate admitted as she thought of her brothers and family in London.

"Just know that you're not alone anymore, even if you have the Royals now, you've got us as well now," Aileen told her as she covered Kate's hand with hers. "You'll have to give me some time to adjust, I'm not used to it," she told her, needing them to understand that whatever she did, she wanted to include them, she might just forget cause she was so used to doing it on her own.

"You've got our numbers now, sent us pictures and if there's anything we can help with whilst Glen is gone you know where to reach me," Aileen told her as Kate nodded her head in gratitude.

Once they were finally settled in their private box, filled with family and friends from the three lads to the side of the stage, Arthur sat on her lap. The moment Glen came on stage, Arthur wasn't going to blink once. He had only eyes for Glen as she felt him wiggling and dancing on her lap near the barrier.

"You like seeing daddy play?" Kate asked her son as her eyes were pretty much focussed on Glen's for almost the entire concert as well. She saw him enjoying the entire concert from behind his drum kit and it brought a smile to her face.

"Yes, can we see him play again?" Arthur asked her, turning his head to look at her as she gave him a small nod. "When we can go and see him alright?" Kate told him, running her hand through his hair, which was getting a bit too long to her liking. "Thanks, mummy," Arthur whispered as he snuggled against her chest, whilst turning his head to look back at his dad. She knew he was getting tired, it was way past his bedtime, sure on certain occasions, he would get to stay up later, certainly when Harry babysat. But as the last song finished during the encore, he was fighting to keep his eyes open. His head would fall every few moments, making him wake up again and pretend he wasn't tired.
