Dougie's POV

'Surfer Babe'

I nervously stirred the food. Anticipating when Tom was going to ask me what I meant when I asked Harry not to say anything to Sarah-Louise. I would have to tell him the truth. To risk to do that. I wouldn't be the one to blame if anything were to happen to the band. We were too good of a band and friends to leave it come to that.

"Em Tom can I ask you something?" I finally muttered before I lost my courage. I had to tell him. I couldn't hold it in much longer. I was going insane.

"Okay." The way he replied unnerved me and I wish I had said nothing.

"Well you know me and Sarah-Louise have a lot in common and we have been getting on great lately. As you know." He nodded for me to continue while placing down the two glasses; he had in his hand, down on the table to give me his full attention.

Explain what I was going to say. I couldn't find the words. They had abandoned me in my time of need.

"Well if it's okay with you, of course, could I ask Sarah out on a date? I'll have her in early and we won't go clubbing or anything. Just a meal or something simple like that." He looked at my face and studied it well. It seemed like an eternity. Suddenly a smile came across his face.

"Sure. Just look after her Doug." He came over and patted me on my shoulder. Then he turned around to finish setting the table. He acted as if we never had the conversation. I just stood there in disbelief. I couldn't believe that he hadn't a problem with it. I wasn't complaining though. I could ask my dream girl out. Sarah could be mine. She was an angel to me. With her pixie like features, bluish grey eyes, brown short hair and small slim build. She was my everything and loved animals as much as me. If that was possible.

Tom came over towards my direction. This time he didn't stop though. Instead he carried on and in towards the living room he walked.

"Dinner ready yet Tom?" I could hear Sarah-Louise call. I swiftly walked into the living room and towards the seat she was sitting in.

"Yup it is. Come on my lady and lets have our magnificent marvellous meal awaits." I answered Tom's question. Then I held out my hand for her to take like a perfect gentleman. She accepted and directed her in to her seat next to Tom across from Chris and with Danny at the end. I sat down next to Tom across from me was Lisa and next to Lisa on her left was Harry. Once she was seated I went up to help Tom again.

After I handed out the salad, rice and main dish I sat back down in my seat next to Tom who had already taken his seat after handing out glasses of wine or orange juice. Funnily Chris never accepted the wine and it was her favourite but then again it probably was wine of her as she was only recovering from puking all over the bathroom. Actually I'm surprised she's eating at all. I know if I had only pucked my brains out the last thing I would want. The thought made my stomach sick. All was in front of her was dry toast and water. I think I may vomit.

"So Doug did you cook the rice?" Lisa asked raising an eyebrow. I looked at Harry for an answer but he just shrugged his shoulders. What was my sister trying to trick me into? Does' she know my secret? That I was in love with Sarah-Louise. Or is she just generally enquiring?

I gulped a bit of orange juice down before answering. "I helped. Why?"

"Oh I was just wandering would your godson like your cooking when he's older. I would want my son's god father to be able to cook for him. That's all." My sister replied.

"Huh? I'm not a godfather."

"Oh how silly of me to forget. Would you like to be Daniel's godfather?" She grinned. I looked at Danny and he nodded. This confirmed that they were serious.

"Oh God yeah! I'd love it. Thanks." I shrieked.

"God Doug watch it, your godchild isn't used to listening to Blink every day. Lower the voice volume." Chrissie warned.

"Oh right sorry." I apologized before running over to the pram that had my godson in it. I scoped him up into my arms and started to cradle him. Now he was my godson as well as my nephew. I was going to be a godfather. For the first and probably the last time but I was happy.

"So who is godmother?" Sarah-Louise asked.

"Chris we were wondering would you be Daniel's godmother as you are great around the twins plus your practically a boy yourself and could teach him all the manly stuff like things about rugby that Doug would never be able to teach him."

"Are you two serious?" She asked in disbelief. "Like I wouldn't be a good godmother at all. I'm not motherly or anything. I can barely look after my guinea pig Charlie and my turtle Dave." She was unable to believe her ears. She would be a brilliant mum and Daniel will be honoured to have her as his godmother. Dan was right; she'd be able to teach him all boyish stuff that I had no interest in.

"Thank you." She cried nearly. She ran over to my side and gave me a deadly look. "Leave me handle my godchild before I go and break Travis."

"You wouldn't dare touch my favourite bass." I bluffed knowing full well she would just to prove me wrong alone. She was a maniac that way. A pure rebel. She always wanted to do the opposite of what people expected her to do.

"You know I will." She chuckled evilly.

"Alright here." I sighed in defeat and handed Daniel over to her.

"Ha!" She gleamed. "Travis's A string has been broke for a month." I just starred at her. She didn't bat an eyelid. She had got what she wanted and I had no way of getting him back. I sat back down in my seat.

"What about Katie? Who are her godparents?" Tom asked. I must have missed a bit of the conversation.

"Deirdre Ann for godmother." Lisa smiled.

"And Harry for godfather." Danny smiled.

"Serious mate?" Harry grinned. Danny nodded. Harry jeered louder than my outcry. Oh yeah she won't give out to her brother.

"Harry, children." Chrissie snapped. Okay I was wrong.

"Sorry." He whispered before he picked up his godchild ever so carefully. Ha! Mine is better.

"Oh why we are all happy." Danny announced. "Doug wants to ask Sarah out."

"Danny." I snapped.

"You and me on a date?" Sarah asked curiously.

"If you like."

"Sure. I'd love to." She smiled but I ran over and gave her hug. Yes. A date with her and my life is complete.
