The tour is now half over and what a wild first half it has been. The boys have performed to over 200,000 fans already and with 15 more shows to do they will be pushing the 500,000 mark.
From the food fights with the other buses, to recieving the keys to various cities, the boys have done it all.
"Looks great" Kevin was bent over her reading her screen. "Have I mentioned how much of a fan I am of yours?"
"Not today" Abbie teased. "So how did rehearsal go?"
"Typical Backstreet Boys chaos" Kevin grinned and sat down on the grass beside her. "So your sister and your goddaughter are coming today huh?"
Abbie's face flushed with excitement "Yes, actually I should get moving and pick up the rental car"
"See you when you get back" Kevin smiled and walked away.

"Bee I cannot wait to meet Nick in person" Raeleen used her sister's nickname and was talking a mile a minute as Abbie drove them to her hotel. "Rae you need to calm down, trust me when I tell you that Nick is just a normal guy, Hey Absy you are being awfully quiet back there" Abbie looked in her rear view mirror and smiled at her goddaughter "Are you feeling okay?"
"Aunti Bee I missed you"
"I missed you too munchkin, but you and I will have a great time this weekend and you will forget how much you have missed me" Abbie smiled warmly at her neice and turned her attention back to the road.

"She's the reporter that is touring with the boys!!" The fans started to scream as Abbie and the two girls walked through the throng of fans who were camped outside the boys hotel. Absy started to cry and Abbie had to stop and pick her up to comfort her "Shh munchkin it's alright" Abbie carried her into the lobby and into the elevator.
"That was sooo cool, I felt like a movie star" Raeleen said excitedly.
"It is not all it is cracked up to be, are you okay Absy?" Abbie stroked her goddaughter's hair and kissed her damp cheeks.
"That was scary Aunti Bee" Absy replied.
Abbie got the girls settled into the hotel room and the three of them decided to take a nap since the girls had a long flight and Abbie wanted them well rested for that evening's concert. Abbie had just tucked the girls in when there was a knock at the door. "Howie..what are you doing here?" Abbie said suprised "I thought you had interviews this afternoon"
"I did and now we are done and I wanted to come and see the other two Miss Fosters"
"I just got them to sleep"
"Well unless they can sleep standing up in the doorway I would say that they are wide awake and watching us with interest" Howie pointed to the two girls who were watching Abbie and Howie.
"Hmm I see that nothing has changed in the nap department huh? Absy and Raeleen this is my friend Howie, Howie my goddaughter and sister"
Howie smiled "Hello ladies, your aunt and sister has told me a lot about you both"
"Howie can you read me a story?" Absy asked with a shy smile.
Howie looked at an amused Abbie "I am irresisitable, two seconds in the room with them and already they want to spend more time with me" Howie took the little girl's hand and followed her into the bedroom.
"Abs I cannot believe that Howie is in the other room reading a story to Absy..my friends are going to die. Oh my god I have to get a picture cuz they will not believe me" Rae ran to her luggage and searched through it for her camera. "Got it" she said with a triumphant smile and ran to the bedroom in search of the treasured picture.
" I can see how this weekend is going to unfold" Abbie laughed as she followed her sister down the hall. She almost cried when she saw the adorable scene. Absy was curled up in Howie's lap twirling a strand of his hair that had escaped his slicked coif. Howie was making faces and using different voices to read the story. He looked up and saw Abbie standing with her arms crossed and a peaceful and adoring look on her face and he winked.
"I will get your heart yet Miss Foster..I have already charmed two of the
Foster girls and you are next" he thought to himself.
