Hey all, I'm back and ready to write again. It's been such a long time, I've had to re-read the story to try to remember what my next plot was going to be.

Now on with the story.

First of all, let me just say that this is my first time writing any kind of fiction like this.

DISCLAIMER: This is a work of total fiction and is not meant to imply anything about the sexualities of Nick and Drew Lachey or anyone else mentioned in this story.

If you are too young to read this, or if Homosexuality offends you, then please don't continue any further and leave.

Other 98 Degrees stories I'd like to recommend are.

"Give Me Just One Night" by Unanoche. "69 with Jeff Timmons" by Zachary Scott Pritt "Nick Lachey" by Ken. "98 Degrees Is Hot" by Gay Night "The Reunion" by RinSong. "Loving Nick Lachey" by Jordan

and finally: "This Gift" by Sprout

Now, I"ll let you get on with the story.

Enjoy.

Previously on "My Everything".....

"I'll see you soon, sexy." I told him, smiling. "Until then, I'm going to miss you."

"I'll miss you more." Nick replied, leaning in to kiss me.

Our lips met and we began to get into it, until I felt someone grab my arm and pull me away from Nick, interrupting our kiss.

"Hey!" I said, turning around to see Drew, giving me an annoyed look.

"If you two start that up again, we'll never get out of here." He said.

I didn't like the tone in his voice.

"We were almost done, Drew." Nick said to him, annoyed.

Drew suddenly exploded.

"YEAH, WELL I'M GETTING TIRED OF SEEING YOU TWO MAKING OUT LIKE A COUPLE OF HORNY TEENAGERS EVERY TIME I WALK INTO THE ROOM! FROM NOW ON, WHY DON'T YOU TWO, JUST GET A ROOM! AND FOR PETE'S FUCKING SAKE, GET A LIFE!!

Everyone was stunned at Drew's outburst. Even Danny and Jeff, who had beeen coming down the stairs at that moment, froze when they heard him shouting.

I was speechless. All I could do was look at Drew, who's face was red, partially from anger and some embarrassment for how he had just acted.

"Drew, what the hell was that all about?" I asked him, when I'd gotten my voice back."

Drew didn't say anything. He just started brushing past Nick and I towards the stairs. Before he got that far, I grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards me.

"ANSWER ME!" I said harshly, the hurt obvious in my voice.

"GET OFF OF ME!" Drew snarled, yanking his arm out of my hand, fiercely. He then turned and bolted up the stairs. Danny and Jeff just moved out of his way, not wanting to even mess with him.

"WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM, BRO?!" Nick shouted at Drew.

All we heard was Drew's bedroom door, slamming.

"Let him go, Nick." I told him. "I think he just needs some time to himself right now."

"He sure had some nerve saying what he said to us." Nick said, calmly.

I could tell he was really hurt by his brother's harsh words.

"Nick, He didn't mean a word of it." I told him, hoping that I was right.

"I hope you're right, Sean." Nick said. "I really hope you are right."

I frowned, wondering if Nick was aware of something that I wasn't.


DREW'S ROOM.............

Drew sat on his bed, trying to fight back his tears, but to no avail.

He stood up and walked over to his dresser and looked into the mirror, noticing his red eyes and tear streaked face.

"Well, don't you look cute." He muttered, sarcastically.

He looked down and noticed a picture of me and himself sitting on top of the dresser. The picture was from the wedding reception where I'd posed with the best man.

Drew set the picture back down and opened up his dresser drawer, looking for his cologne. As he did, something caught his eye.

It was a wedding photo of Nick and I that was taken right after the ceremony. We were both positively beaming, our happiness evident that day.

"You and Nick were so happy that day, Sean." Drew said to himself. "Just like I was when......

He was interrupted by a knock on his door.

"Drew, can I come in?" He heard my voice say.

********** CHAPTER 43 **********

Drew wiped at his eyes and walked towards the door. He slowly opened it to see me standing threre, with concern written all over my face.

"Are you ok?" I asked him. "Would you like to talk about whatever it is that's bothering you?"

Drew sighed heavily, before nodding.

"Come in." He said, quietly.

I walked into his room and turned around to face him as he closed the door.

"I'm surprised Nick didn't come up with you." Drew said, crossing his arms. "Why is that?" He asked.

"Nick isn't here." I told him. "I talked him into going to the beach with everyone else and asked him if It would be alright if I came later and brought you with me. And it wasn't easy convincing him or everyone else to go without us."

I made sure Drew could still see that my feelings had still been hurt by his outburst earlier. I made it obvious in my tone of voice.

"I don't think I want to go now." Drew said, sadly. "I don't think I can face Nick right now after what I said downstairs."

I raised my eyebrows, nodding sarcastically.

"Well, you sure were not yourself down there earlier when you blew up like that." I said, noticing the guilty look on his face.

"I know." Drew said. "And I'm so sorry for that. You have no idea."

I nodded, seeing that he was indeed sorry for what he said. It was obvious that he'd been crying.

"Drew what's bothering you?" I asked him again. "It's gotta be about more than just Nick and I making out alot."

Drew turned around, his back to me and walked over to his bed and sat down on it.

"It is." He said, his voice serious. He had me curious now.

"What is it?" I asked him, sitting beside him on the bed. I put my hand on his shoulder, causing him to look up at me, his hazel eyes showing alot of emotions.

"I guess I exploded because I'm a little jealous of what you and Nick have." Drew said. "Ever since I lost you to Nick, I've just felt lost."

Hearing him, bring up the past, kind of made me uncomfortable since it reminded me again of why I was put in that position to have to choose in the first place.

"Besides," Drew continued. "Look at everyone around us. They all have someone. You have my brother, Jeff has Danny, and Justin has Kandi.

He sighed, starting to tear up again.

"I'm the only one who doesn't have anyone to love." Drew said. "Nobody wants me."

I was shocked to hear Drew say that. He was a very sexy and very loving man. He was alot like Nick, but yet so different.

"Drew, how can you say that?" I asked in disbelief. "Any guy or girl would be lucky to have you. You're incredibly sexy, smart, talented, funny, a great dresser, and also a very loving guy."

"Yeah right." Drew said, as a few tears ran down his face. "You thought that about me too, and you still didn't want me."

"Oh, Drew." I said, bringing my hand to his cheek, and wiping away the tears.

"Just be patient." I told him, "You'll find the right guy soon enough."

Drew shifted his gaze down to the floor.

"I had the right guy......

Here, Drew looked up and stared me straight in the eyes.

"Then, I lost him." He finished.

I stared right back into his eyes.

"I've never really gotten over you, Sean." Drew said, breaking his gaze and looking down again.

My heart was racing. "Was Drew telling me what I think he was telling me?"

"What are you saying, Drew?" I asked him, hoping that I was wrong about what his answer was going to be.

Drew looked back up at me, his eyes saying it all. Then, he confirmed it, by saying the words.

"I still love you, Sean." He said


MEANWHILE, AT VENICE BEACH..............

Justin, Kandi, Jeff, and Danny were already having fun at the beach. They were participating in a whole bunch of games and contests that were going on there.

Nick, on the other hand, wasn't into it. He was just lying on his lounger, with his sunglasses on and his sexy, muscular body glistening from the sunscreen, suntan lotion he had on. He was lying there with his eyes closed. All he could think about was Drew's outburst earlier.

"Why would Drew say the things that he said to Sean and I earlier? Why would he act so irrationally? Nick thought to himself.

"The only other time he acted that irrationally was when..........

When Nick realized when that time was, his eyes flew open and he sat up.

"When he was in love with my husband!" He finished.

Nick reached for his cellphone, which was ringing.


BACK IN DREW'S ROOM..............

I was in such a state of shock, that I didn't know what to say. All I could do is sit there with my mouth hanging open, wanting to say something, but couldn't find the words.

"I can see that you weren't expecting me to say that." Drew said, sadly. "But it's the truth. It's how I still feel."

My head was spinning. Drew was still in love with me! Even after all of this time. A thought then occurred to me.

"Drew, when did you realize this?" I asked him, then said. "I saw your intense look at the wedding when the minister asked if anyone objected to Nick and I getting married and you looked like you wanted to say something, but didn't."

Drew nodded, remembering that moment.

"I did. You have no idea." He said. "I wasn't ready to let you go as much as I thought, but at the same time I didn't want to ruin the best day of your life."

"You also said that you were getting over me." I said to him. "Was that a lie?"

Drew shook his head.

No it wasn't. He replied. "I truly thought I had resolved my feelings for you. I didn't realize I was in love with you again until.......

"Until when?" I asked, finishing his sentence for him.

"The night we all thought that we lost you to that explosion. When we all thought you were dead." Drew said.

I frowned. That hadn't been long at all. Neither has my marriage to Nick, which has barely even started.

"How come you never said anything sooner?" I asked, Drew, as I stood up and walked over to the bedroom window to look outside.

"Because I thought I could deal with it at the time." I heard Drew say from behind me. "But the way I reacted just now, I knew that I had to tell you."

I suddenly felt very uncomfortable. I had a man who I was still very close to, who was still in love with me and I had no idea how I was supposed to feel towards him now. I loved Drew very much, but my heart was with Nick and always would be. I just wondered how Drew was going to get through this without falling into another depression. All I knew was I had to settle this once and for all. I'd almost lost Nick once. I wasn't about to lose him again. Not ever.

I flinched when I felt Drew's hand come down on my shoulder. I turned around to face him, my expression changing to uncomfort.

"Drew, I started to say, but Drew cut me off.

" I know, Sean." Drew said. "I know that it's going to be hard for you to tell Nick that it's over, but......

"What?! No!" I said, harshly. "I'm not telling Nick no such thing, Drew! Where would you get a crazy idea like that?! I still love Nick and that will never change!"

Drew took his hand off of me and turned away from me, walking towards the bed again.

"Come on, Sean, just admit it." Drew said, turning back to face me. "You and I are great together. We're really good friends, not to mention there's heat whenever we're in the same room together. Plus, I've felt your eyes on me from time to time."

I was really starting to feel uncomfortable around Drew. But He was partially right.

"Drew, I can't deny it. Yes, we are good friends and I can't deny that we're really close.......

Drew gazed in my eyes, taking everything in that I was saying.

"And yes, I look at you." I said. "How can I not? You're a very, very attractive guy. and yes there is heat between us.........

Drew interrupted me.

"That's what I've been trying to tell you......." Drew started to say, as he put his arms around my shoulders, but I rebuffed them and pushed him back, gently, interrupting him.

"But, Drew, It is not love." I finished, as I released his arms.

My words stung Drew deeply and his eyes widened.

"No, Sean, you're wrong. You are so wrong!" Drew said, desperately. "You're not even giving me a chance!"

"Drew, I don't want to talk about this anymore." I said. "I still love Nick and I always will. As I said before, that will never change."

Drew turned away from me and walked towards the door.

""I wouldn't be so sure about that." Drew said under his breath, an intense look on his face, which I did not see.

"What did you say?" I asked him, not hearing what he had said.

"Nothing." Drew said, turning towards me. "We should go and meet up with the guys. Do you mind if I take a quick shower first?"

"Sure, go ahead." I said to him. "Just don't be too long."

"Don't worry, I won't." Drew said.

He turned and left his room to jump in the shower.

I walked back into Nick's room, which was right next to the bathroom. I heard the shower running as I did. Just then, the phone rang.

"That must be Nick wondering what's keeping us." I said as I picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey, baby, it's me." I heard Nick say. He sounded strange.

"Hi, Nick." I greeted him, frowning at the way he sounded. "What is it? you sound strange."

"Well, I'm standing outside of Jessica's hotel room right now, ready to knock on her door."

Jessica? What would he want with her? I wondered.

"What are you doing there?" I asked him, curiously.

"Jessica called me, out of the blue and said she needed to tell me something really important, which she couldn't tell me over the phone. She wants to see me in person." Nick told me, still sounding uncomfortable.

"Where are the guys, Nick?" I asked him.

"They're still at the beach." Nick said. "I took my own car in case we needed it. How are things coming along with Drew?"

"I think we're alright now." I said. "He's really sorry for what he said earlier. He's just a little jealous of what you and I have. Especially since he's the only one out of us all who doesn't have anybody to love. He feels like nobody wants him."

I heard Nick sigh, which let me know that he felt sorry for his brother.

"Poor guy." Nick said. "He's had a really rough time lately. I should have known that he was feeling like this. Now, I sort of don't blame him for reacting the way he did. With Justin and Kandi getting together, you and I getting married, then him almost losing you to the car crash and me to the car that ran me down, Jeff and Danny getting together, and Jay who tried to rape and kill you." It's no wonder he's such a mess."

"That's not even the half of it." I thought to myself.

"Well, I guess we just have to find Drew someone too." I said.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea." Nick said. "But we'll talk about this later. I have to see what Jessica wants right now. I'll call you later, ok?"

"You got it, Sexy." I said to him. "I love you."

"I love you too, Sean." Nick said back. "Later."

"Bye." I said, before I hung up the phone.

As I walked towards the door, the phone rang again. I turned to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Sean Perry?" A male voice asked.

"Yes, this is him." I said, wondering who this was.

"Hi, I'm Reverend Jace and I'm calling about your recent wedding to Nicholas Lachey. I have some bad news."

"What is it Rev. Jace, you sound so serious?" I asked, not liking the seriousness in his voice.

"Well this is serious and I regret having to tell you this, but the minister who married the two of you was a fraud. You and Nick Lachey are not legally married."

I hung up the phone without saying anything else. I could not put into words the emotions that were going through my mind right now. I just froze. I couldn't talk. I couldn't think. I just went blank.

Then everything went black.


JESSICA'S HOTEL ROOM.............

Nick knocked on Jessica's door. Within a few seconds, Jessica opened the door, in her bathrobe. Nick gaped. He couldn't help it.

"You like what you see?" Jessica smirked, seeing the look on his face.

Nick shook himself out of it and blushed. Jessica laughed, seeing his red face.

"Come on in, Cutie." Jessica said, stepping aside so he could enter.

Nick entered, still a little embarrassed, and turned towards her.

"What did you need to see me about, Jess?" Nick asked, as he ran his hand through his hair.

It happened to be the hand on which he wore his wedding band. When, Jessica saw it, she gasped.

"Nick, why are you wearing a wedding ring?" She asked.

Nick looked at his hand and realized that Jessica didn't know about his marriage since she'd been off on her own tour.

"Oh, that's right, you don't know." Nick said, smiling. "Sean and I got married a month ago."

Jessica looked shocked. but more than that, she looked hurt.

"And I'm just hearing about it now?" She asked, hurt obvious in her eyes. "We used to talk to each other about everything."

After saying that, she burst into tears. Nick's face crumpled. He didn't like seeing Jessica cry.

"Jessica, don't cry." Nick said, as he pulled her into his arms. She buried her face into his chest as she continued to cry.

"Please don't cry, or you'll get me started too." Nick said, trying to keep from crying too.

Jessica still meant alot to him. If Nick had wanted to marry a woman, It would have been Jessica in a heartbeat. She still held a special place in his heart.

"I'm sorry, Nick." Jessica sobbed. I didn't mean that."

She wiped at her eyes as she looked up at him.

"It just makes what I have to tell you alot harder." She said, a serious look on her face.

"Tell me what?" Nick asked, letting her go from their embrace.

Jessica looked him in the eyes and said:

"I'm pregnant."

Nick's eyes widened when he realized what she was telling him.

"Oh my god, Jess, are you saying what I think you're saying?" He asked.

"Yes, Nick." Jessica said, smiling. "We're going to have a baby. Isn't this incredible?"

Jessica threw her arms around Nick hugging him close. All Nick could think about was my reaction when I found out about the baby.

"What will happen to Sean and Nick now that they were never legally married?

Will Nick's feelings for Sean change now that he's learned that he will become a father?

How will Everyone react to Jessica's pregnancy? Especially Sean? Will Nick and Sean's relationship ever be the same again?

But the most important question is: What will Sean do?

Oh, if you only knew what happens next!

Stay tuned.
