Chris followed Karen to her dressing-room straight-away. He desperately wanted to know what was wrong with the love of his life. Reaching Karen's dressing-room door, he opened-it-up ever-so-slightly, just enough so that Chris could pop his head around the door. "Can I come-in?!" He asked in the sweetest-voice possible. Karen was sat on the sofa, but she couldn't help but look-up at him and then sigh. He was such a sweetheart sometimes. "You know you don't need to ask that. Of-Course you can come-in." Karen replied, very-tearfully now. Chris walked-in and then went and joined-Karen on the sofa, wrapping-his arms tightly around-her. "I Love You." Chris told her, gently, but meaniningfully. "Yeah well you won't when I tell you what I've done Chris....." Karen said, crying even-more now as she dug her head into Chris' chest. "Awww Kaz, you know that I'll love-you no-matter what you do....." He told-her calmly. Karen took a deep-breath-in and then tried to explain-to Chris what she had done, but she was struggling, so she just decided to blurt-it-out as it was. "I met-up with your Mother earlier-on." She said. "You what?!" Chris asked. "Oh Chris please-don't kick-off. Please?!" Karen begged-her. Chris stood-up and then walked-over to the opposite-side of the room, taking deep-breaths in and out as he did-so. "I'm not going-to....." Chris said with a suppressed-anger. "Chris, please understand that I only did-it because I love-you sweetheart! And I wanted to get to know your Mother! I wanted to understand why you hated her so much!" Karen said to Chris as she tried to explain her actions to him. "Don't Karen! Just Don't!" Chris interupted Karen mid-flow just as opened the door and then walked-out of the room, slamming-it behind-him, and Karen just burst into floods of tears.

Chris went back to the rink and starting skating-around in circles fast and furiously. "Chris. Is Karen okay now?!" Jayne asked-him, worriedly. "Not Really No....." Chris replied angrily. "Chris. What's happened?!" Jayne asked, sensing that there was trouble in paradise. "Nothing." He said, still-skating-around in circles as Jayne tried to keep-up with him. "Just Nothing Eh?! Come-On Chris I know you. Look, slow-down, so we can chat?!" Jayne suggested to him. "Oh just leave-me alone Jayne!!!" Chris shouted before skating-off-of the ice-rink, putting his trainers-on and then heading-outside. 

When Chris had eventually gotten-outside, Karen was already there, it was like she was just waiting for him to explode and then come-outside to here. Karen turned herself to face Chris. "What are you doing out-here?!" Karen asked-him tearfully, but fairly calmly. "I needed some space....." Chris said. "Some time to think about stuff....." He added-on as he noticed that Karen had her arms-crossed like she was trying to keep-herself warm. Chris pulled his hoodie over his head and then walked-over to Karen and handed-her his hoodie. Karen shot him a 'What's this for?' Look. "You Looked-Cold." Chris explained. Karen pulled Chris' hoodie over-her and then looked-at-Chris, directly into the eyes. "I'm Sorry." She told-him, and then Chris just sighed, looking-up as he rested the back of his head against the wall of the building. "Why did you do it Karen?!" He asked calmly. "Because I knew that you'd say no if I asked you about-it, so I thought it would be better to just do-it anyway, and then just hope that you would understand....." Karen tried to explain to Chris. "I just want you and your Mother to talk things through Chris. That's All." She finished. "It's not as simple as that.....I mean, Tee isn't gonna be best-pleased if she sees her at the Wedding." Chris told Karen truthfully and Karen smiled at him gently and sweetly, taking his face into her hands. "Who said anything about inviting her to the Wedding?! Ey?!" Karen asked-him sweetly and Chris sighed. "I'm sorry." Chris replied sadly. "You have nothing to be sorry for sweetheart. It's me that should be saying sorry. But you have to understand that I just want the best for you.....Okay gorgeous?!" Karen told-him, and Chris nodded before Karen leaned-in and then kissed Chris gently but lovingly. 

Jayne came-outside and spotted the pair kissing, so she waited until Karen spotted-her and then slowly pulled-away from the kiss. "Slackers." Jayne joked with both of her very-best-friends in the whole-wide-world. Both Karen and Chris laughed before Chris then spoke-up. "I'm sorry for snapping at you Jayne." Chris apologized. "Apology Accepted." Jayne replied, shooting a cheeky-wink at Chris before she then headed back-inside, giving Karen and Chris a little-bit longer-by-themselves. "I Love You Karen." Chris said and Karen briefly kissed-him on the cheek. "I know you do." Karen replied cheekily, before she then ran-off inside ahead of Chris to go and catch-up with Jayne and explain everything to her.

Karen, Chris, and Jayne had somehow managed to get through the afternoon and that evening's show without anything too dramatic happening. Karen was a bit tearful, but that was nothing-new really, except this time, she was crying about her and Chris, rather-than about the celebrities ice-skating. Once the show had finished, Jayne dragged Chris into her his dressing-room and locked the door behind them both. "Karen's really upset Chris." Jayne told Chris firmly, blocking the doorway, to stop him from escaping from the room and therefore from the awkward conversation that was about to arise between the two-friends. "Well I'm sorry about that Jayne. But she's just always on my case about this flippin' Mother of mine! She just can't except that I'm not ready to forgive my Mum yet! OR talk to her politely for that matter! And I just can't be with someone like that!" Chris replied frustratedly. "But Chris, she loves the bones off-of you. And I know that you feel the same-way about-her.....Deep-Down." Jayne tried to win Chris-over but she sighed in anger as he was having none-of-it. "Oh Chris! Come-on! I know you! You're not really angry at Karen at-all, you're taking your anger out on her when you should be taking-it-out on your Mother! But you've just scared her away by being flamin' rude to her!" Jayne shouted at Chris angrily. It had been a while since the pair had squabbled over something so serious! 

Around an hour-later, people were starting to clear-off, and Karen was beginning to wonder hwere Jayne and Chris had gotten-too, but that's when she heard Jayne shouting at Chris through his dressing-room door. Karen tried to open the door, but of-course it was locked, so she knocked-the-door three-times. Jayne decided to let Karen-in, and then sat on the sofa, out of the way of the pair, as both of them finally decided to talk to each-other about things. "This isn't right Chris.....Is it?!" Karen began with calmly. "Well I've been in better situations to say the least....." Chris trailed-off with in reply. "I'm sorry for pushing you to be kind to your Mother.....You weren't ready.....I should have realised that....." Karen apologised genuinley. "Yeah you should-of....." Chris replied with a quiet-anger. "Chris!" Jayne warned-him to be nice to Karen. "Sorry....." Chris continued ever-so slightly awkwardly. "Don't Be Sweetheart." Karen paused for a couple of seconds before continuing. "I Love You Chris!" She told-him tearfully. "Please say the Wedding's back-on?!" Karen asked-him desperately as the tears threatened to fall from her eyes and down onto her cheek-bones. Chris sighed as he finally walked-over to Karen, he couldn't bare to see her on the verge of crying for much-longer. "I need to know that you won't be angry with me if I don't get back in contact with my Mum.....And even-if I do get back in contact with her, you can't just expect-me to be nice to her straight-away.....It has been a lot for me to take-in Karen....." Chris said as he placed his hands onto either-side of Karen's waist. 

Karen rested her hands against Chris' chest. "You Know.....I have-only-ever wanted what I thought would have been best for you Chris.....But I just want you to be happy my Sweetheart. Because you being happy makes me happy. But if getting-you-back means that I have to shut-up for a little-bit.....Then I'll do that.....For You.....Because I love you more than anything-else in this world Christopher Dean!" Karen told Chris sweetly and Chris couldn't help but lean in for a gentle but very-short kiss. "I love you too Karen.....But.....Maybe we should call-off the Wedding.....Just for a little-while.....I just think that it's an extra-pressure which we don't need.....I want-to sort things out with my Mother first.....I wanna know where i stand with her, and where she stands with me.....And then maybe we could think about getting-married again?!" Chris suggested, and even-though Karen was slightly disappointed that the Wedding-planning was on-hold for-now, she was just glad to be back-into Chris' safe and warm arms for-now! Jayne stood-up and walked-over towards the pair. "So can I go home now then?!" Jayne asked-cheekily with a sweet-grin spread-across her happy-little-face as both Chris and Karen laughed at their very-best-friend. 

After saying their goodbyes to Jayne, it was just Chris and Karen left to walk to the cars by themselves. When they reached the car-park, Chris noticed someone stood-by his car. "Mum?!" Chris questioned as they both approached the Lady. "I'm sorry Chris I know that you don't want me here right-now. Infact I'm probably the last-person you want to see at the moment.....It's just that.....Well, I was in the audience for Dancing On Ice tonight, and I watched you and Jayne skate.....And it was beautiful.....I was in tears it was that beautiful. And after-that I just couldn't stay-away. I couldn't just leave-you, not with things as they-were.....So I thought I'd wait in the car-park and hope that you'd turn-up as some-point." Mavis finished-with. "What do you want Mum?!" A freezing-cold Chris asked, fairly-calmly considering everything that had happened today, in the past-couple of hours especially. "I just wanted a final chance to tell you that I Love You Chris." Mavis told-him sweetly but very-tearfully. Chris just sighed. "I'm too tired to argue with you now Mum.....But I'm not sure that I can say I Love You Too Yet.....But I could give you a lift back to wherever you're staying if you'd like?!" Chris offered kindly. "That would be a good-start wouldn't it Chris? Although I feel like I should be giving-you a lift home.....But thank-you all the same." Mavis replied gratefully before she then climbed-into the back of the car. 

Karen turned to Chris from the outside of the car and just smiled sweetly at him. "I'm proud of you gorgeous. Well-Done." She told-him before kissing-him fully on the lips and then getting in the car herself. This was Step-One.

Chris awoke on the sofa, wrapped-up in a blanket, feeling much more refreshed after a couple of hours of sleeping. Karen was sat on the chair opposite watching TV when she saw him stir in the corner of her eyes. "Hello gorgeous." She said as she turned the TV off and then went and crouched down infront of a still sleepy Chris. "Hi." He replied croakily. "How are you feeling now?!" Karen asked-him as she sweetly stroked his cheek. "Better after that sleep. Thanks for making me come home. It's just all this stuff with my Mum.....I can't sleep at night because of it....And I was just knackered....." Chris explained to Karen as he yawned and then stretched widely before sitting-up. "Well maybe that means you need to talk to your Mum sweetheart, and sort everything out with her.....But you need to stay calm.....Because you getting stressed-out with her doesn't just upset her, it doesn't do you any good either my darlin' and then I start to get worried about you....." Karen told Chris truthfully as he carefully sat himself up and then sighed. "I know.....You're right Kaz.....It's just difficult for me that's all....." Chris trailed-off sadly. "I know it is sweetheart, but you've come through a lot worse situations than this baby.....You can do this I know you can." Karen told Chris positively as she placed one of her hands around the back of Chris' head and then gently forced him towards her for a long and meaningful hug. 

Later than afternoon, Chris rang his Mother.....

Mavis: Hello?

Chris: Hiya Mum. It's Me.....Chris.....He began nervously.

Mavis: Chris hello it's lovely to hear from you! Did you need me for anything sweetheart?

Chris: No.....I just.....I just wondered if you wanted to come-over for dinner sometime soon? Chris practically had to force the words out of his mouth.

Mavis: Oh Chris I would love too. When is good for you?!

Chris: Urm.....Tomorrow night?! Chris suggested. Wanting to get it out of the way as soon as possible. 

Mavis: Tomorrow night is absolutely fine with me Chris. About 7ish shall we say?

Chris: Yeah.....

Mavis: Okay Chris. See you then! Goodbye Lovely!

Chris: Bye Mum.....

Karen joined Chris on the sofa once he had put the phone-down. "Well Done Sweetheart. That can't have been easy for you....." She told-him sweetly. "No it wasn't.....I just feel like I'm letting Tee down.....I mean, she, along with my Dad worked hard to give me the best up-bringing she could.....And now I feel like I am stabbing her in the back by going back to the woman who left-us in the lurch the minute things got a bit tough....." Chris tried to explain his feelings to Karen. "Your Mother doesn't need to replace Tee, Chris. But it's obviously important to her that she comes back into your life again gorgeous. Tee is a loving, gentle and kind woman Chris, you know that better than anyone.....She'll understand Sweetheart." Karen tried to re-assure Chris as she leaned-in and placed one of the softest kisses ever against his forehead.

Right then, I am determined to update this tonight! 

The next evening, Chris' Mother, Mavis, was around at Chris' and Karen' house, at 7pm on the dot, as promised. Karen greeted Mavis with a kiss on the cheek and a hug. "Hiya Mavis, it's lovely to see you." Karen said in an over-friendly-way. She knew that Chris would struggle through tonight, so she was trying to make-up for that fact. "Hiya Mum....." Chris trailed-off quietly. "Hello Chris, I won't hug you unless you'd like a hug?!" Mavis told-him slightly awwardly, but she was being thoughtful towards Chris, and that was what mattered the most to Chris. "Not yet okay?!" Chris replied to her softly before Mavis then walked-in. "Urm.....Have a seat....." Chris said as he led his Mother over to the sofa. "This is a nice place Chris....." Mavis said as Karen joined-them both. "Uh yeah it is....." Chris replied as he sat-down on the chair opposite to where his Mother was sat. "Dinner won't be long Mavis, it's all in the oven.....It's nothing special I'm afraid....." Karen trailed-off nervously. "It's just a large pizza that I bought from tesco's earlier....." She added-onto the end-of that sentence. "Oh don't you worry about that Karen, I'm here to see you and Chris, not to taste delicious food.....Which I'm sure it will be by the way....." Mavis re-assured Karen sweetly before Karen then disappeared off to the kitchen, and Chris followed-her, leaving Mavis alone in the living-room.

Chris sneaked-up behind Karen and squeezed both of her sides with her hands. "Boo!" Chris said jokingly and Karen turned-around to face Chris with a sweet smile on her face that was full of laughter. "Chris stop-it!" Karen giggled before turning to speak more seriously to Chris. "Anyway, shouldn't you be with your Mum?! Don't leave her in the living-room all by herself! Gosh you're a rubbish host!" Karen joked with him and Chris sighed. "But it's really awkward with her when you're not there....." Chris moaned and Karen gave-him a look of warning. "Chris, she's your Mother, just chat to her about stuff that son chats to his Mother about everyday....." Karen suggested to Chris, but he was having none of it. "But Karen, this is hardly everyday is it?!" Chris told-her and Karen just rolled her eyes at him. "I'm not arguing with you over this Chris! Just go and speak to her!" Karen said to Chris firmly, before she then practically had to push Chris back into the living-room.

"I understand ya know Chris....." Mavis suddenly blurted-out in a fairly calm manner. "You understand what?!" Chris asked her as he sat-down next to her on the sofa, and Karen watched from behind, out of the sight-lines of Chris and Mavis. "Why you're feeling so unsure about all of this.....About-me.....I wasn't there for you at all of those time when you have needed-me the most. Like when you were growing-up.....And when your Father died....." Mavis trailed-off and Chris looked-down sadly. He still thought about his Father every single day of his life. "Yeah well it hasn't been easy for me Mum....." Chris said, calmly, but truthfully. "Oh Chris I'm so sorry.....For everything.....Even for forcing my way back into your life like this.....I've gone about-it completely the wrong-way and I apologize for that....." Mavis revealed to a tearful looking Chris. "You've changed everything Mum.....And I can't quite figure out if that's a good or a bad thing....." Chris said and Karen smiled from in the background, she was glad that Chris was finally opening-up to his Mother in a calm and mature-way. "I know that it's been a lot to take-in for you Chris.....But I'd quite like-it if my re-appearance in your life could be turned-into a good-thing....." Chris' Mother then paused for a couple of seconds, catching sight of Karen as she did so, but Mavis pretended that she hadn't seen her and continued to talk to her very-confused son. "I heard about you cancelling the Wedding.....Listen to me Chris, even if you don't take any of my advice.....But that girl out there absolutely adores you.....And she would absolutely love-it, if you were to tell her that the Wedding was back-on....." Mavis trailed-off, and karen figured that now would be a great-time for her to step-into the conversation. "She's right you know Chris." Karen said, walking-over to the sofa before she then sat herself-down sideways onto Chris' lap, wrapping her arms around his neck as she did-so.

"I love you to the ends of this earth and back Christopher Dean.....And I know it sounds cheesey and cliched Sweetheart, but it's true. Infact I love you so-much that every-last-single-flipping-word of it is true. And I would absolutely love-it if you were to agree to puting the Wedding back-on." Karen told-Chris sweetly as Chris took a deep-breath-in as he considered his options. "Would you kill-me if I said no?!" Chris asked. "Oh Chris please don't say that you're answer is no?!" Karen practically cried to him. "I'm not.....Karen I want to marry you more than I wanted to win the Winter Olympics.....But just don't tell Jayne I said that....." Chris trailed-off cheekily. "So is that a Yes then?!" Karen asked-him happily. "YES IT'S A YES!" Chris replied excitably, and Karen practically jumped on Chris, pushing-him back-down against the sofa as Mavis laughed a them both as the couple kissed each-other passionately. "I think that's my cue to leave.....My work here is done!" Mavis joked as she stood-up from the sofa. "Mmm no Mum wait!" Chris said mid-kiss, before Karen allowed-him to stand-up so that he could go and see his Mother. Chris hugged his Mother tightly before kissing her on both cheeks. "Thank-You Mum. I Love You." Chris told his Mother, and Mavis just smiled at him sweetly and tearfully. "I love you too Chris. My Son. My Darling Son." Mavis cried with happiness before leaving the Dean-Barber Household with a massive-smile on her face.

As soon as Mavis was gone and the door was shut behind-her, Karen dragged Chris back to the sofa and pushed-him back-down again, allowing herself to fall on top of him. "Now where were we gorgeous?!" Karen asked-him cheekily as she leaned-in to kiss Chris on the lips once-again. "Urm.....Shouldn't we tell Jayne first?!" Chris asked as Karen dodged his lips whislt he spoke and kissed his neck instead, as Karen's kissing became more intimate, Chris cheekily smiled to himself with a mischevious look spread across his dimpled-face. "On second-thoughts.....Jayne can wait until the morning....." Chris said to Karen, before captuing her lips into his and the newly-engaged couple (Again.) began to kiss passionately.....

Happy Now Everyone?!
