Before Chris even knew-it, himself and Karen were meeting Jack and Sam off of the plane from Heathrow Airport. A large and wide smile quickly spread across Chris' face as he spotted his boys, lugging there suitcases behind them as they ran towards their Dad, as excitably as ever. Chris caught his youngest-son, Sam, into his arms as he threw himself at his Father, before Chris then let him wriggle his way down to the floor again as Chris hugged his eldest, Jack tightly. "Hey Boys!" Chris begean with after all of the hugging went-on. "Hiya Jack! Hey Sam!" Karen sweetly added-onto the end of Chris' greeting as they began to walk-out of the airport together. "I've missed them so much Kaz." Chris told Karen as they headed-towards the car, allowing both Jack and Sam, to run-on ahead, infront of them both. "I know you have my darlin' and I'm sure that they have missed-you just as much too. You are their Father after-all." Karen told-him as they continued to walk. "They're growing-up so quickly though. I mean, they're practically tennagers now....." Chris trailed-off quietly. "Heyyy, it was the same with my girls, I can't believe they are both living independantly now. It's crazy. But you get used to it sweetheart. I promise-you." Karen told Chris comfortingly as they chuckled slightly as they caught sight of the boys leant against the car and jus staring at their Father and Karen as they waited for them to unluck the car so that they could get-inside.
Both of the boys slept soundly all the way back to Chris' house, where Jayne was waiting to surprise them both. "Boys, we're home!" Chris said in a genlte but happy way as he reached-back carefully shook Jack's knee to wake-him-up before he did the same to Sam. It soon registered to the tired and jet-lagged young-boys just where they were and an excitable look spread-across both of their faces. "YAY. It's been ages since we last-saw your house Dad!" Sam said before dragging Jack to the front-door as they waited for Chris to let them-in. Chris opened the door, allowing the boys and Karen to go in first as their surprise awaited them., "Hiya Jack. Hiay Sam!" Jayne called casually from the sofa as if they were nothing-new. "JAAYYYNNNEEE!" They both screamed, running-over to her and jumping-on her happily as Jayne gave-them both a cuddle.
Later that evening, Chris ahd suggested that Jayne should stay for tea as they told the boys about his and Karen's recent-engagement. As they came down the stairs after unpacking their stuff into their seperate bedrooms, Chris called-them-over to the living-room and sat them down on the sofa together as he prepared to break the news to them. Jayne sat inbetween them both, and Chris and karen sat opposite them, closely cuddled-up to each-other. "Listen boys, you know how Me and Karen have been seeing each-other for a couple of years now....." Chris began and both boys nodded-in a very serious fashion. "Well, me and your Dad have some good-news for you!" Karen added-on to the end, leaving Chris to break the exciting news to them. "What is it Dad?!" Sam asked hyperly. "Well. Me and Karen.....We're getting married kids!" Chris told them happily. It took a couple of seconds of silence for the excellent news to register in the boys' minds but when it did, there were 2 very different reactions.....Sam ran-over to Chris and Karen and gave-them both an excitable hug. Jack however, was quiet. He was smiling, but Chris knew that something was wrong with him.
"What's-Up Jack mate?!" Chris asked, concerned for his eldest-son. A tear-fell from Jack's eye and Jayne cuddled-him into her as Chris walked-over to him and crouched-down infront of Jack as he remained sat on the sofa. "Heyyy don't cry. Don't cry." Jayne comforted him softly. "Come-On Pal. Whatever's bothering-you.....You know you can tell-me don't you?!" Chris asked his son softly. "How about.....Me and Sam go for a walk and a catch-up so you and Jayne can speak to Jack?!" Karen suggested and Sam laughed at the thought of it. "Yeah let's go for a catch-up!" Sam said happily as he took-a-hold of Karen's hand and practically dragged her towards the front-door, which made her giggle quite a bit. "Thanks Kaz." Chris said gratefully as Sam led Karen outside and shut the front-door behind-them.
"There you go Jack. It's just me, you and your Dad. Now what's upsetting you ey?" Jayne asked-him calmly, her voice almost down to the level of a whisper now. After a few-sniffles, Jack eventually spoke-up. "I really like Karen, Dad.....She's really nice." He began with and Chris smiled at him. "And I want you to be happy Dad.....But what about Mum?" Jack asked-his Dad as he sniffled-in some-more tears. "What do you mean by that mate?" Chris questioned-him gently. "Well if you marry Karen, then it'll be you and her, and we won't be a family anymore....." Jack explained as a few-more-tears fell from his eyes, this was obviously troubling the poor-lad. Chris sighed sadly as he reached-up and hugged his son tightly. "Oh Jack mate, we'll always be a family, and your Mum will always be a part of that.....But now Karen's just gonna join the family.....Nothing is gonna change.....We'll just have one-extra member to the Dean family.....Won't we mate.....Ey?" Chris told his son with a sympathetic smile on his face as Jack sniffled-in the remaining tears. "I guess so....." Jack replied to his Dad as Jayne squeezed him into her once-more."There you go Jack, you were worrying about nothing weren't ya?!" Jayne suggested to Jack positively and he giggled sweetly before standing-up and hugging his Dad properly. "I'm sorry Dad." Jack said to his Father. "You have nothing to be sorry for mate." Chris responded with as Karen and Sam re-entered the house. Perfect Timing.
"Heyyy we're back!" Sam called excitedly from the front-door as he ran into the living-room, dragging his older-brother upstairs, following Karen's instructions to do so, so that Chris, Jayne and Karen could all talk together. Karen cuddled-up to Chris as they sat-down opposite Jayne together. "Is everything alright now?!" Karen asked them both, she had done nothing but worry about-it since she had gone-on her walk and catch-up with Sam. "Yeah it's fine.....Jack was just worrying that's all....." Chris explained to Karen and she smiled gently at him. "Just like his Dad ey Kaz? A compelte and utter worrier!" Jayne joked and both Chris and Karen laughed. "Did you enjoy catching-up with Sam? I hope he didn't buzz-around leaving-you wondering where an earth he's gotten-to. That kid has a never-ending energy supply stored somewhere close-by I swear to you!" Chris said jokingly and both Karen and Jayne chuckled at him. "He was Great.....He was Amazing infact. They're Aweosme kids Chris. And I can't wait to see how cute they look in their little Paige-Boy outifts!" Karen told both Chris and Jayne excitably before she kissed Chris on the lips and then snuggled-into him again.

The next-day, Chris decided that he was going to take both Jack and Sam to work with him. They had loved-it at the rink when they were younger, and he was sure that they would love-it now that they were a bit more grown-up. The boys themselves were still a little-bit jet-lagged from the long-flight yesterday, but they were desperate to see their Dad at work again. Chris sat on the sofa as he waited for the boys to get ready, he had purposely woken them up half an hour earlier than when they needed to be up for. - Even-though his kids were here, Chris still refused to be late for work. He was already awake and ready and was now sat on the sofa with his feet-up. Karen had just finished getting-ready herself as she spotted Chris sat on the sofa. She walked-up behind the sofa and then hugged him from behind, placing her cheek against Chris'. "You're Quiet." Karen told Chris before she then gently kissed his cheek. "Am I? Oh Sorry....." Chris trailed-off calmly. "What's-Up?" Karen asked-him as she wandered-around the edge fo the sofa so that she could sit next to Chris and spend some-time with her fiance whilst the boys got themselves ready upstairs. "Nothing.....Well.....I'm just thinking about my Dad that's all....." Chris revealed to Karen, and she put her arms around-him as she knelt next to Chris. "Oh my darlin'.....Do you miss him?" She asked. "Well yeah.....I miss him every-day.....But it only really gets to me when my boys are here....." He told Karen truthfully. "Oh? And why's that then sweetheart?!" Karen questioned. "Well.....I spend most of the year on the other-side of the world to my boys.....And yeah.....When I do get the chance to spend time with them it's great.....But.....I guess I just don't want history to repeat itself that's all.....I've always wished I was closer to my Dad....." Chris trailed-off sadly. "Oh my darlin'.....Those boys.....They absolutely adore-you.....I can see it, Jayne can see it.....And I know that you can see it too.....And you're Dad?.....He'd be proud of you....." Karen paused for a second as Chris took a deep-breath-in, and then out again. "Are you alright sweetheart?!" She then eventually asked. "Yeah.....Thanks Kaz." Chris thanked Karen appreciatively before he then softly kissed her on the lips. "I love you Karen." He added-on to the end of the sentence. "And I love you too Chris." She replied in return.
It wasn't long until the boys were ready to go and the cute-little family had arrived at work. Chris went straight to physio so Sharon could give-him an estimate as to when he'd be allowed-back on the ice; leaving Jack and Sam in the capable hands of Karen and Jayne. "So Then Boys, what's your Dad's worst habit?" Jayne asked-them cheekily as they sat-down on the edge of the ice-rink together. "He snores REALLY loudly!" Sam said, and Jack laughed loudly at his younger-brother. "Oh yeah, tell-me about-it!" Karen joined-in with the joke, she was great with the boys, even-though they weren't hers, they had grown-close over the past-couple of years. But Karen also respected Jill for the way she'd mothered these boys, with Chris only there in the summer to help-out, it can't have been easy for her, but she knew that Chris found-it just as difficult being away from them.
Chris had soon returned from physio with a glum look on his face. Karen immediately walked-over to him and hugged him tightly. "What did Sharon say my darlin'?" Karen asked Chris, really concerned for her injured fiance now. "She.....She said urm.....That....." Chris couldn't hold the smile-in any-longer as he laughed-loudly. "She said that I can start skating in training whenever I like!.....I won't be skating on the show for a while yet.....But as-long as I'm careful then I can skate in training!" Chris revealed to both Karen and Jayne, and both of his boys. Karen giggled and then playully slapped Chris' good-arm. "You had me really worried just then Mister!" Karen told-him as she hugged-him once-again before she turned to the boys whilst Chris went to fetch his skates. "Now boys, I do believe that there are 2 pairs of skates in the skates cupboard that are just your sizes.....How do you fancy going for a sneaky little skate before training starts, with Me, Jayne and your Dad then?!" Both Jack and Sam's facial-expressions grew into incredibly excited-ones as Chris, as if by magic returned with not only his own skates-on, but also with 2 pairs of skates in his hands, one-pair for Jack, and one pair for Sam. "Here you go boys." Chris said happily as he handed their skate over to them. "I'll take-them around a couple of times if you want Chris?!" Jayne offered and Chris smiled at him. "Yeah sure Jayne. Go for it!" Chris agreed before Jayne took both Jack and Sam's hands into both of her own so that the 2 Brothers were either-side of her as she led them onto the ice.
Chris and Karen joined them in skating a couple of minutes-later as they followed them around the ice. Karen looked-up at Chris as he led her around the ice with ease. He looked so happy and so relaxed now that he could skate-again, and that's why Karen loved-him so-much. All of a sudden, Karen's trance-like-gaze was broken when Chris speed-skated-up behind Jayne and the boys and laughed as he spoke. "Let's see how you manage without Jayne for support ey boys?!" Chris joked as he picked Jayne-up from behind and then skated-off wth her in his arms. Karen laughed. "Chris you're so mean!" Karen said through the giggles as she then went and caught-up with Jack and Sam and made-sure that they were okay. "Oh no you don't!" Chris said as he put Jayne down and then sped-over to Karen and picked-her-up too, and again, then skated-off with her, leacing the boys to fend for themselves. "Christopher Dean, the ice turns you into a 5 Year-Old sometimes I swear!" Jayne Joked as she headed-back-over the boys. This little-game of Chris taking Jayne and Karen away from the boys lasted for the next 10 Minutes or so, until the boys were tired and went to get something from the Vending Machines with Jayne, leaving Karen and Chris alone on the ice. Chris pulled Karen towards him as they skated in close circles around each-other. Karen reached her arm-up and then placed her hand on the back of Chris' head, before placing the hand just undrneath-it on his neck as she leaned-in to kiss him passionately. It seemed so romantic to Karen, kissing the man who she loved more than life itself on the ice, the place that Chris had always called home. Chris' hands naturally moved-around Karen's waist during the kiss. Just as the kiss came to an end, and they were still caught-up in their 'loving moment,' Jayne walked-in. "Chris, I don't suppose you have any spare....." Jayne paused as she witnessed the beautiful moment that she realised she had just rudely-interupted. "Change....." She finished. Chris and Karen giggled together as they looked-into each-others eyes. They had heard Jayne, but right-now all that seemed to matter was this moment. "Welcome Home Sweetheart." Karen whispered to him and Chris winked at her before snapping-out of the moment and then skating-over to Jayne, who was so about to tease-him about that tender moment that she had just witnessed him having with Karen. "What was that about spare change then Jayne?" Chris asked Jayne as Karen watched-on lovingly.
Disclaimer: I don't own anyone or mean to cause any harm! I'm just having-fun!
Jayne nudged Chris as they walked-down the corridor together towards the vending machines, where Jack and Sam were still stood waiting for their Dad and Jayne to arrive with some change. "So I see things are going well with Karen then Chris?!" Jayne teased and Chris laughed. "Yeah thanks for interupting that special moment Jayne....." Chris said sarcastically, but Jayne knew that he was just-joking. "Sorry.....But it looked super-cute and cosy! Part-of me wanted to skate-over to you both and join-in with the cuddles!" Jayne giggled as she spoke to Chris. "Awww did my Jayney feel left-out?! Awww come-here then!" Chris said as he pulled-Jayne-in towards his chest for a cuddle. "What do you mean your Jayney.....Don't let Karen hear you say that Mister Dean!" Jayne joked with Chris as she wrapped her arms around his waist and then rested her head against his chest. "Karen wouldn't mind-me giving my best-friend a cuddle.....And besides.....What Karen doesn't know won't hurt me....." Chris replied as he and Jayne shared a cute-little-cuddle together before going to meet the boys.
The boys chose a chocolate bar each before they headed back to the rink with Chris and Jayne, where this morning's training was about to start. Karen was sat inbetween the bys as they watched Chris and Jayne get to work together. Karen was glad to see him so happy once-again. She had to admit it had been a while.....But at long-last that gorgeous smile was back-on Chris' face. Chris' good-mood was also noticed by the professional skaters and the celebrities, who were used the obsessive side to Chris, so see him in such a good-mood today was a nice surprise for them all. "Karen....." Jack spoke-up. "What is it sweetie-pie?!" Karen replied. "I'm sorry for crying about you and my Dad getting married....." He trailed-off, slightly embarrassed by his apology to his Dad's new-girfriend and soon to be Wife. "Hey that's alright Jack. It's a big change for you.....To be honest lovely I expected a lot worse from you two. But you've been great. You both have....." Karen said, putting both of her arms around both Jack and Sam. "So thank-you for that boys!" Karen told them both truthfully as the boys then both hugged-her together.
Later that day, just after training had finished, the boys were allowed to get their skates back-on and then go and meet all of the celebrities, which they found fascinating of-course. Chris skated-over to Karen holding his bad-shoulder awkwardly. "What's wrong sweetheart?!" Karen asked, instantly noticing the pain on his face. "Nothing....." Chris replied. "I think I just over-did-it today that's all....." He trailed-off. "Oh....." She responded sympathetically as she stood-up to be with Chris as she stood behind him and began to massage his bad-shoulder. "You need to take-it easy for a bit then.....Does that feel better my darin'?!" Karen asked-him sweetly. "Hmmm much better thank-you!" Chris replied with before he then turned-around to face Karen and began to kiss her, beginning softly and growing in energy as Jayne skated-over to them. "I can't leave you two alone for 5 Minutes can I?!" Jayne told them-off in a 'Primary School-Teacher' way. "Sorryyy Jayne." They both replied at the same-time in a 'Naughty Primary School Kid' way. Jayne laughed at them both. "It's okay you're forgiven. Anyway what I came-over for is that some of us are going-out tonight and just wondered if you two wanted to come?!" Jayne asked them both. "One. - I can't leave the boys on their own. And Two. - I'm really tired, I just wanna go-home....." Chris replied to her calmly. "Okay then. What about you Karen?!" Jayne asked. "Actually Jayne I quite fancy just having a quiet night-in with my man and the boys....." Karen trailed-off as she linked arms with Chris. "Okay then.....Don't do anything I would!" Jayne joked as she giggled before Chris and Karen went to fetch Jaxk and Sam to take-them home.
Later that night, when both Jack and Sam were tucked-up in bed and asleep, Chris and Karen were still cuddled-up together on the sofa. "How was today then my lovely?!" Karen asked Chris. "It was great.....I loved being back on the ice!" Chris told her tiredly. "I know you did I could see-it written all-over that cute-little face-of yours!" Karen replied sweetly. "You've been brilliant with the boys ya know Kaz....." Chris trailed-off through a very-tired yawn. "Oh well I try....." Karen brushed-off the compliment. "No really.....You have been.....You remind-me of my Step-Mum actually.....You really care about them Karen, and I'm glad that you do.....Because my boys come first.....Which is why I'm so glad that they like-you.....I adored my Step-Mum when I was younger.....I still do now....." Chris said as he looked-down. "Thinking about your Dad again?!" Karen questioned-him, knowing Chris well-enough now to know when he was feeling a bit down and she could usually tell what about. "Yeah I am actually.....It seems to have really hit-me this-time just how important my Father was to me.....And I miss him.....Infact I miss-him more than ever....." Chris said with a frown, and Karen could see the tears that were threatening to fall from his eye-lids as he continued to think about his Father. karen hugged Chris tightly. "I know you do sweetheart.....Of-Course you do.....But you just focus on being the best-Father that you possibly can-be to those boys.....And make your Dad proud?! Yeah?!" Karen suggested to him and Chris nodded as the first tear was let-loose. "Yeah....." Chris whispered tearfully in reply.
Karen held Chris closely as he cried quietly, although he did well to cover-it-up when Sam came-down to get a drink.....But eventually Chris drifted-off to sleep, and Karen didn't have it in her to wake-him-up and send-him up to bed now, so she kissed-his-forehead and then wrote a short-note for Chris to read in the morning.
"You fell asleep and I didn't want to wake-you-up. Come-up if you wake-in the night and read-this. If not, then I hope you slept well my darlin'. I love you lots. Always remember that. Kaz. xoxox"

The next-morning, Chris awoke on the sofa still, not only to the note that had been left by Karen, but also to the smell of a full-English breakfast coming from the kitchen, and lastly, numerous missed-calls on his phone.....From Jill in America?! - This left Chris very confused and ever-so slightly worried. Who else would ring-him from America and why?! Chris yawned and stretched as he sat-himself-up and then slowly and tiredly walked-into the kitchen. - Jack and Sam were still asleep at the moment. Leaning against the door frame, Chris spoke-up. "Morning." He said, mid-yawn. Karen turned-around almost immediately to face Chris and walked-over to him, placing her hands against his cheeks as she spoke in reply to him. "Good-Morning Sweetheart. You look exhausted." Karen commented as she gave Chris a quick peck on the lips and then hugged-him, resting her head against his chest as she did-so. "Yeah thanks.....And well.....The sofa doesn't make for the best-night's sleep....." Chris responded tiredly. "Yeah I can believe that my darlin'.....Anyway I missed you last-night, but I didn't want to wake-you-up.....Are you okay now?" Karen questioned, looking at Chris as she did-so. "Yeah I'm fine.....I just needed a little-cry that's all.....Having the boys here.....It reminds-me of my Dad....." Chris trailed-off for a second. "Anyway, is that a Full-English that I can smell?!" He asked cheekily. "It is indeed, and I'm gonna burn the sausages if I'm not careful so I best go and see to them....." Karen giggled. "Okay, I suppose I should let you go then....." Chris chuckled-back-in-reply, having kept the missed-calls from Jill a secret from Karen. Karen and Jill had been perfectly civil with each-other when they had been in America last, but Chris knew that Karen wouldn't be too pleased if she found-out that Jill had been back-in contact. - But then again it could have just been to do with the boys.....
After breakfast, the boys were-up-now and they were just about to go and get themselves dressed, when Chris' phone-rang. "Who is it Dad?!" Jack asked nosily. "None of your business!" Chris joked. "Awww Daaad!" Sam replied. "Sorry boys.....I'll just take-this-outside okay?!" Chris said to Karen and headed-outside fo the front-door, which left Karen wondering why he was being so secretivr this-morning.....Karen walked-over to the inside of the front-door and could hear Chris speaking to the mystery-voice on the other-side of it.
What Karen hears.
Chris: No Jill I can't do that.....It will just make-it harder to say goodbye.....
Why? Why the sudden change of decision Jill?
You what?
Karen won't be happy about this Jill.....And I don't want to upset her......She's been great.....
Fine.....I'll talk to her later-on.....Bye.
When Chris re-entered the house, Karen was stood just inside the front-door with a very angry look on her face. "What the HELL was that about Chris?" Karen shouted at him. "Hey keep your voice down the boys will hear. And what was what about?!" Chris asked. "You're secret conversation with Jill.....'It'll be harder to say goodbye Jill, I'll talk to Karen later Jill.....' " Karen frustratedly mocked Chris. "Karen you don't understand....." Chris tried to explain but he was interupted by a fuming Karen. "What IS there to undertsand Chris? Look, if you and Jill are getting-back together then just tell-me already.....I'd rather we cut this string of the string -along now, before it gets any longer! I can't believe-it! YOU WERE USING ME CHRIS!" Karen screamed on the verge of tears. "KAREN! Let me explain PLEASE! This is all a massive mis-understanding I promise-you!" Chris said to Karen, almsot crying himself now. She was so wrong, if only she would let Chris explain. "Go then.....Give-me your best-LIE!" Karen replied harshly as Chris began to explain.....
The actual conversation.
Chris: No Jill I can't do that.....It will just make-it harder to say goodbye.....
Jill: (Who Karen cannot hear.) - Come-On Chris just for 2 more weeks with the boys.....For me?! Please.....
Chris: Why? Why the sudden change of decision Jill?
Jill: Because.....I've got a new boyfriend okay?!
Chris: You what?
Jill: I said I've got a new boyfriend.....Which is why I need you to look after the boys.....I need to explain to him about the boys so it's not so much of a shock to him!
Chris: Karen won't be happy about this Jill.....And I don't want to upset her......She's been great.....
Jill: Exactly Chris, she's amazing with the boys, she won't mind them staying for a bit longer.....
Chris: Fine.....I'll talk to her later-on.....Bye.
By the time Chris had finished explaining to Karen, they were both in floods of tears. Karen sighed sadly as she sniffed-in some-more-tears that were now flowing freely down her already tear-stained cheeks. "Oh Chris I'm so sorry.....I just asumed that....." "I know you did.....But I'm sorry too.....I should have told you that Jill had been ringing-me....." Chris said as Karen reached-up to his face and wiped the tears-away with the pad of her thumb. "Yeah but I should've trusted you.....And of-course the boys can stay for another 2 Weeks Chris.....Why were you worried about telling-me that for?!" Karen asked sfotly as Chris held her softly in his warm-embrace. "I dunno.....I was just being stupid.....As always....." Chris trailed-off negatively. "No! Don't say that.....YOU.....Mister. Are far from stupid. Infact you're so far from stupid thar you're practically perfect in every-single-way.....And I should have trusted-you-more Chris. I'm sorry!" Karen apologised tearfully, but Chris stopped her by placing his index-finger against her lips. "No.....You have nothing to be sorry for....." Chris said before he then replaced his finger with his lips, and the pair kissed lovingly. Peace was restored and the boys hadn't even-noticed that it had been broken.

That afternoon, with the kids being baby-sat, Chris and Karen headed into work together. Chris had been worryingly quiet ever-sine they had made-up from their row earlier, and Karen was beginning to panic and worry about him. As they reached the rink, Karen turned to Chris and leaned-up to give-him a kiss, as they always did before training started, but Chris moved his face-away, so Karen was forced to just kiss his cheek instead. Karen skated-over to Jayne having gotten her skates-on before Chris. "I think I've messed things-up big-time!" Karen told Jayne quietly, but it was obvious to Jayne that she was very-worried about something or other. "What? What do you mean?!" Jayne asked Karen in reply to her. Karen sighed sadly. "I accused Chris of cheating on me this-morning.....And I was really horrible to him Jayne! I mean.....We made-up after he explained.....But he's been so quiet ever-since, and he won't even like kiss me or anything!" Karen explained to Jayne, tears forming at the back of her eyes now. "Oh Karen.....I'm sure he'll come-around eventually.....I take-it you were wrong about the whole cheating thing?!" Jayne asked, concerned for her two very-best-friends ever. "Yeah of-course I was.....I should've known that he would never even dream of cheating on me.....He's such a lovely bloke....." Karen trailed-off, upset with herself that she had even considered the thought, let-alone brought-it up with Chris too. "He's probably just a bit shocked Kaz.....It can't be all that nice being accused of something that you haven't done.....Especially by your fiance.....Sorry.....I don't mean to make you feel worse....." Jayne told Karen sweetly. "Don't worry I understand Jayne.....But I really hope Chris comes-around pretty-soon, I don't wanna snap at him for being so blooming moody when it's all my fault that he's this moody in the first-place!" Karen panicked as Jayne spotted Chris skating-over. "Jayne, can we get to work then please?" Chris asked and Jayne just smiled at him and then nodded. "Coming!" She called as Chris then skated-away. "We had better get to work then....." Karen said as they began the choreography for Jen and Dan together.
After Jen and Dan had left for the day, Karen skated-over to Chris as they waited for Jorgie and Matt to arrive for training. "Chris can we talk please?!" Karen asked, looking at Chris, but Chris refused to look-at her back. "Not now Karen....." Chris trailed-off before he then skated-over to Jayne, who was on the other-side of the rink. "Are you okay?" Jayne asked Chris. "Why?" Chris snapped-back-at-her. "Because you just don't seem yourself today that's all.....Are you sure everything's okay? Are things going alright with Kaz still?!" Jayne gently questioned him but Chris just sighed in frustration. "Just leave-it Jayne.....I know Karen's probably told-you what's happened....." Chris trailed-off angrily. "Yeah she has.....But I'm just trying to help-you Chris....." Jayne had barely finished saying the name 'Chris' when he interupted her. "I said leave-it Jayne!" Chris said, in a slightly-more raised-voice now than before. He took a deep-breath-in and then skated-away from Jayne, past Karen, and off of the rink, heading-towards his dressing-room as he did-so. "I'm sorry Kaz, I tried to talk to him.....Do you want me to try again?" Jayne asked as she skated-over to Karen. "It's upto you Jayne.....I don't know what to do....." Karen replied as Jayne rubbed-her-arm sympathetically. "I'll try my best Kaz.....But I won't promise-you anything.....I can't....." Jayne trailed-off as she headed-over to Chris' dressing-room.
She didn't bother knocking, she knew Chris well-enough by now to know that he wouldn't respond to any knocks on the door when he was either angry or upset, or in this-case inparticular. - Both. So she just walked-in. Chris was pacing-up and down the room taking deep-breaths in and out as Jayne entered. Jayne just stood there and watched-him until she was noticed by him. "What are you doing here?!" Chris asked, a little-more calmly than before. "I was worried-about.....And so was Karen.....We all are.....Now what's wrong ey Chris?!" Jayne asked-him as Chris sat-himself-down-onto the sofa that was now next to him. Jayne sat-down with him and took both of his hands into her own. Chris sighed. "You know what's wrong! I can't believe that she'd just assume things like that.....I'd never cheat on Karen in a million-years Jayne!" Chris told his very-best-friend tearfully. "And she know that now Chris.....She'd jumped to conclusions and made a mistake alright?! We've all done it sweets!" Jayne tried to reason with Chris and he sighed once-again. "I suppose-so.....I'm sorry for snapping at you earlier Jayne.....I shouldn't have done-that....." He trailed-off sweetly. "Hey that's alright.....I'm used to it from you, aren't I?!" Jayne teased Chris and he lightly giggled at her.
I promise that KnC will be back-on-track soon-enough so don't panic-people!

Jayne had left Chris in his dressing-room eventually, when he seemed a bit happier. But now it had been 30 Minutes or so and Karen was beginning to get worried about him. "Why hasn't he come-back yet Jayne?!" Karen asked Jayne worriedly. "Maybe he just needs some time to himself.....Some space.....It's been a stressful few-weeks for him Kaz, he probably just wants some-time to himself....." Jayne trailed-off gently. "Oh Great.....My best-friend knows my boyfriend better than I do....." Karen said sadly. "Hey ya know I probably do Kaz, but that's only because I've known him since he was a teenager, I spent every-day of my life with him when we were competing and when we were professional skaters, and now we're working here I spend 6 Months of the year with him.....And I know that you've been there for some of that.....But it's different, it doesn't mean you love him any less or that he loves you any less.....I don't need to explain mine and Chris' friendship to you Kaz....." Jayne tried to explain sympathetically. "I know Jayne.....And I'm sorry, I'm just worried that I've messed things-up with him that's all....." Karen trailed-off as a couple of tears fell-down both of her cheeks. Jayne put her arm around Karen's shoulders. "Heyyy I'm sure you haven't. Why don't you go and speak to him ey? I'll be fine here." Jayne suggested and Karen smiled at her weakly. "Okay. Thanks Jayne." Karen said before she wandered-over to Chris' dressing-room.
She knocked-on-the-door twice with the gentlest of touches, before opening the door and standing in the doorway until Chris noticed-her. Chris was now sat at his desk filling in some forms. Eventually, he looked-up at her and shot her a sweet-smile. "Hey....." Chris said quietly. "Hiya.....Are you okay?" Karen asked-him worriedly. Chris shoved the forms to the side and then sighed loudly. "I hate paper-work!" He said calmly as he threw his pen across the desk and then over to the other-side of the room. Karen giggled at him lightly as she walked-over to him and stood-behind-him as she began to massage his shoulders. "Does that mean I'm forgiven?" Karen asked cheekily as she moved her arms around towards his chest so that she was leaning-over him, and hugging-him from behind. Chris looked-up towards Karen, who was behind-him, and they briefly kissed each-other on the lips before Chris then stood-up and then lead Karen over to the sofa that was on the other-side of the room. Looking into Karen's eyes, Chris sighed. "I love you." He told-her sweetly. "I love you too Chris. And I'm sorry about this-morning. I should've trusted-you." Karen admitted to Chris sadly. "Yeah you should-have....." Chris began softly. "But we all make mistakes.....And I know it was just a spur of the moment thing.....But I'm sorry for hiding the fact that I was in-contact with Jill.....You're gonna be the Jack and Sam's Step-Mum.....You need to know things that are happening as much as Me and Jill do.....So I'm sorry too....." Chris said truthfully as Karen took his face into her hands. "No more secrets.....And no more jumping to conclusions......How about that then Mr Dean?!" Karen suggested to him, ever-so slightly flirtatiously. "That sounds great to me beautiful." Chris replied happily before the cute-couple then kissed-each-other gently. "Good. Now how-about, you leave that paper-work in here, and we head back to the rink?!" Karen suggested and Chris nodded happly in agreement as she did-so.
They arrived back at the ice-rink hand-in-hand with each-other and Jayne smiled at them both as she finished-off working on a move with Matthew and Nina before she then skated-over to them both as they stepped-back-onto the ice. "I take-it everything's sorted then?!" Jayne asked-happily. "Yeah it is. Never-better infact." Karen told Jayne with a grateful-smile on her face, and Chris' smile was matched with Karen's. If it hadn't of been for Jayne, things could-have really kicked-off between the pair of them, so they were thankful to her that she had been there all the way through-it. "Did you cope without-me then?!" Chris asked-Jayne cheekily. "Just-about....." Jayne replied as Karen skated-away to go-over and chat to Matthew and Nina about their choreography session with Jayne. "Listen thank-you for knocking some sense into me earlier....." Chris thanked Jayne personally. "Hey you're the one who did the knocking Chris.....I just put the nail there ready for the hammer!" Jayne replied with a cheeky-giggle.

Don't get sad because of this post! Haha.
The next 2 Weeks sped by really quickly and the time had soon arrived for Chris to send two-teenage sons, Jack and Sam, back to their home in America. Chris hadn't slept much at-all the previous night. He didn't know how the boys were going to react to Jill's new-boyfriend. If they hated-him, then Chris would feel really bad for them, but if they loved-him, then Chris didn't know if he'd be able to control his feelings of jealousy. He had been sat on the sofa since about 3am now, just dreading the boys waking-up, because that meant that they would soon be heading to the airport to say their goodbyes once-again. Around 5am, Karen awoke because she needed the loo, but she soon found that she had an empty-space next to her in the bed. After going to the loo, Karen, who was both tired and confused, headed-downstairs, to find Chris sat on the sofa in the living-room, and he was awake. "What are you doing awake already?" Karen asked, slightly worriedly. "I couldn't sleep....." Chris trailed-off sadly. Karen walked-over to Chris and then sat next to him. "Oh Dear.....Why not? What's bothering you?" Karen asked, noticing that something was obviously distressing her poor-fiance. Chris sighed sadly. "If I fall-asleep now then the time I have left with the boys will go quicker.....And I don't want that to happen." He told Karen truthfully. "Oh my darlin'." Karen said as she cuddled-up to Chris, snuggling her head against his shoulder. "I know it's hard being away from them, but they understand, and it just makes seeing them even-more precious doesn't it ey?!" Karen suggested to Chris. "I suppose so.....But I'm gonna miss them so much....." Chris trailed-off as he leaned-forward and then put his head into his hands and Karen rubbed-his back soothingly. "Oh sweetheart, come-on.....You can always Skype them can't you? But right-now, you need some sleep.....Jack and Sam aren't gonna want their Dad to be tired and miserable on their last-day in England do they?!" Karen told Chris, and he agreed with a nod before Karen took his hand into her own and led Chris back up the stairs so they could sleep for the next few-hours before they woke the boys-up.
Before they knew-it, it was the afternoon, and they were at the airport, having popped tot he ice-rink to say goodbye to Jayne and everyone-else, now they were at the gates just about to say goodbye to their Father and Karen. "Be good for your Mum won't you ey boys?!" Chris told them, managing to hold back the tears well for-now. "We will Dad." Jack replied with a smile. "Do you want us to stay Dad?" Sam asked, ever the observant one, had noticed that Chris was ont he verge of tears. That was it, he couldn't hold back the tears anymore and Karen put her arm around Chris' waist to comfort-him as he sniffled-them-in slightly. "Of-Course I want you to stay boys, but you've gotta go back to school haven't you?!" Chris told-them truthfully as the person at the gate announced that their flight was ready for boarding. "Give your Dad a hug then boys!" Karen told-them sweetly, and they both hugged Chris tightly, both at the same-time. The boys both said their goodbyes to both their Father and Karen before running-off excitably to the ticket-person. The minute they were out-of sight, Chris broke-down into floods of tears, and Karen hugged-him tightly. "You'll see them again soon Sweetheart. I promise. This series and the tour will fly-by, and before you know-it, we'll be flying-out there, to Colorado, to join-them.....Won't we.....Hey?!" Karen tried to look at the positives because Chris couldn't right-now. "Come-On, let's go and get a Starbucks, and then we'll head-back to the ice-rink......That'll cheer-you-up won't it?!" Karen suggested and they soon headed-off.
On the ice-rink, Jayne had recieved a text from Karen saying....."Just leavin the airport now. C u soon. XXX" Jayne thought of Chris when she read the text. She knew he found-it hard sending his boys back to America without-him being able to go with them. But Jayne knew that Chris and Karen would be back-soon and that she'd be able to give her skating-partner, who was also a best-friend-ever, a massive-hug, and then he'd soon be smiling-again.
The couple soon-arrived back at the rink and had jsut finished putting their skates back-on. Jayne skated-over to them as they stepped-onto the rink, she could tell that Chris had been crying from the red-marks that he had all-around his eyes. "Hello.....How are you?" Jayne asked Chris sympathetically, approaching-him with open-arms as she brought-him into a massive-hug. "I'm alright....." Chris trailed-off quietly. "Okay.....Can I buy you a Starbucks or something or has Karen already done-that?!" Kayne asked sensitively, but this did make Chris laugh a little. "Heyyy a smile!" Karen exclaimed happily, she knew that Jayne would be the only-one who would be-able to cheer-him-up properly. "I'm afraid Karen beat you to that one Jayne.....But she's been amazing!" Chris revealed sweetly as he pulled Karen in for a kind-of sideways hug. "Well Good! I'm glad to hear-it. I'd be having words otheriwse!" Jayne said cheekily as she winked at Karen with a mischevious-look on her face. "Right.....Enough of that.....Let's get to work!" Chris said before he then skated-over to the professionals and their celebrity-partners for a cheer-up and a catch-up and also to start rehearsals for the following-weeks-show, leaving both Karen and Jayne to have a quick-gossip together.
"How was it really then?!" Jayne asked Karen. "Oh I felt so sorry for-him Jayne.....It took-him about half an hour for him to just stop crying.....And he wouldn't say a word in the car on the way here....." Karen trailed-off, she hated seeing Chris like-this. "Was he really that bad? What's so different about this time Karen? I mean.....He's always upset when his boys go-back.....But he's never been this upset?!" Jayne asked worriedly. "I think it's just a build-up of everything that has happened recently.....And he said that the having the boys here have reminded-him of his Dad....." Karen trailed-off as she looked-over at Chris and caught eye-contact with him. She smiled at him sweetly and he briefly managed to smile back at her which Karen was pleased-with. "Oh that makes-sense....." Jayne replied to Karen. "What do you mean?!" Karen questioned Jayne. "Well.....Valentines day is coming-up isn't it?" Jayne began and Karen nodded, looking-seriously confused-now. "That means it's been another Anniversary since Bolero.....28 Years I think? Chris' Dad died not long after that.....A couple of months maybe? It happened after all-of-the 'Olympic-Hype' had died down anyway.....But maybe having his boys around has hit him hard this year.....I dunno.....It's just a thought....." Jayne suggested to Karen and she nodded in agreement. "Yeah that would explain a lot.....Who would have known-it ey? He's so good at hiding his emotions around the Professionals and the Celebrities....." Karen trailed-off before she then smiled at Jayne as she skated-over to Chris and then hugged-him from behind, resting her head against his back. "I love you." She mumbled against the material of his jacket, but Chris had heard-her and had understood what she had said. Turning-around to face Karen, Chris kissed her gently on the lips. "I love you too." He replied sweetly. "Thank-You for today. You've been brilliant, and you've just-about made-me even-more excited about marrying-you!" Chris told-her, slightly happier now than he was earlier.
Sorry for the slightly-depressing post! But I thought I'd end-it with some happier-thoughts for you all!
I'll definitely post tomorrow though!
