The first stop on the Boys tour was New York once again. They were not there for a concert though. They were nominated for an MTV Music Award again this time for the video Set Adrift On Memory Bliss as well as performing on the awards. They arrived at the hotel and found their rooms. Then they headed over to the theater where the awards were scheduled to take place later that night. They rehearsed and then hung around afterwards to watch the Beastie Boys rehearsal, and to chat it up with Mase, who like them was just hanging around star-watching. Alyssa noticed Kevin had disappeared.

The city was so big to Kevin as he walked along the sidewalk with his hands stuffed in his pockets. He missed Theresa badly. He knew he shouldn't have taken her mood swings seriously but sometimes he could just be too darn sensitive! As he was walking slowly along, a pretty young woman of about 24 years old, with black hair and brown eyes was running from the opposite direction. The girl ran RIGHT into Kevin, knocking him down, and bringing him back to Earth. He opened his eyes and stared into the stranger's brown eyes. The girl got off of him, and tried her best to help him up. He was much taller than her.

"Hi! I'm Nat! Sorry bout that!" Nat held out her hand to shake Kevin's.

"I'm Kev Richardson..." Kevin said as he shook her hand.

"Hey! You're from that group the Backstreet Boys! I have all your albums!" Nat said.

"Thanks..." Kevin said.

"You look sad....wanna talk?" Nat asked him.

"It's nothing you'd be interested in...." Kevin said sitting down at a small table outside a corner cafe.

"Try me! I'm taking Communications Classes at NYU...I need some experience with listening!" Nat explained sitting down opposite the tall stranger.

"You're sure?" Kevin asked.

"POSITIVE!" Nat exclaimed.

"Well...it's....I'm too darn serious! I broke up with my fiancee because of what she said during one of her mood swings!" Kevin exclaimed.

"Really? Does she get these mood swings often?" Nat asked.

"No...you see...she's pregnant!" Kevin exclaimed.

"Oh..." Nat nodded her head to show she understood.

"Well...I've REALLY been missing her lately! I realize what I did was stupid, and now I want her back!" Kevin explained.

"So...call her up and tell her that!" Nat explained.

"I don't know...what if she hangs up on me?" Kevin asked.

"What if she doesn't? Kevin...you're never gonna know unless you try!" Nat explained looking him right in the eyes.

"I guess your right...thank you Nat! I'm gonna go back to our hotel and give her a call!" Kevin exclaimed standing up and leaning down to give Nat a hug. Then he turned around and headed back to the hotel. When Kevin got back he headed up to his room, and found his cell phone. He punched in Theresa's number, and listened to the rings. Finally someone picked up "Hello?"

"Hi! Is Theresa there?" Kevin asked.

"No she isn't who may I ask is calling?" The voice asked.

"Ummm...it's Kevin!" Kevin replied.

"Oh Kevin! Hi! Theresa just left for the hospital!" The voice exclaimed.

"Hospital?! Why?" Kevin asked.

"Why...her water just broke a few minutes ago...she was asking for you, but nobody could reach you!" The voice explained.

"Oh man...tell her I'll be there as fast as I can!" Kevin exclaimed before he punched the Off button on his cell phone. He got off the bed and ran into the hall almost knocking down Howie and Mary Jae. "Kev, what's wrong?" Howie asked.

"Theresa...baby....gotta get to her....." Kevin managed to sputter out.

"THERESA'S HAVING THE BABY?!" Howie and Mary Jae exclaimed in unison.

"Yes! Tell Donna and Johnny I won't be able to make the awards! But I'll call when I get to the hospital!" Kevin exclaimed as he ran into the elevator and pushed the down button. The doors closed, and Howie and Mary Jae were alone in the hallway.

"We HAVE to tell the others!" Mary Jae exclaimed. She took Howie's hand and they ran down to the lobby where everyone was. When they got there Mary Jae called out "Theresa's having the baby!"

"That might explain why Kevin took off like a bat out of Hell!" A.J. remarked.

"Really? I thought I REALLY was related to Superman!" Brian joked. "Kev was faster than a speeding bullet..." Brian tried to explain his joke.

"I hope he makes it..." Kristen said.

Later that night, the group piled themselves into a limo to head over to the Awards show. They were somewhat dressed up. The boys wore shirts and ties, Nick had a tan overcoat on. The girls wore nice dresses. When they reached the theater they drove up to the center, the chaffeur opened the back door, and they all stepped out. Flashes went off, and the group made their way down the red carpet. Nick was still taking it slowly, but he insisted on walking. When they went inside they found their seats. The guys sat together on the end, so they'd have easy access getting up and out if they won. The girls all sat together...Kristen was next to A.J. holding his hand. Then Alyssa, Mary Jae, and Laura. The show began 15 minutes later. The group started getting antsy, because the award for Best Group Video was fast approaching and Kevin still hadn't called. Just then Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore said the words "And the winners for Best Group Video >are....THE BACKSTREET BOYS! Set Adrift On Memory Bliss!" The boys stood up and made their way to the stage. When they got up their Brian said "Wow! Who woulda thought we'd be up here again! Winning another Space Man Award!" Howie's cell phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and held it up to his ear. Then he stepped up to the podium and said "As you can see, the fifth member of our group is missing..." And just then a girl screamed out "KEVIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Howie looked up in her direction "Yeah...Kevin's not here, but he's on the phone right now...." Howie explained. "What did he say?" A.J. asked. "Well...he's a dad!" Howie exclaimed into the microphone. The girls smiled at each other, and started clapping loudly. The boys were hugging on stage. Nick stepped up to the mike "We'd like to thank our management, recording company, MTV, our families, friends, girlfriends, wives, fiancees, ummm...kids now!" Nick laughed "And most important all the fans for being there for us and for supporting us and helping to make our dreams a reality... thanks! WE LOVE YOU!" The boys all waved as they headed off the stage. The crowd could hear A.J. yell out "WOO HOO!!!!!!!!" from backstage. The awards show seemed to rush by once they boys won, and before they knew it, the group was back in the limo heading to the After-Parties. They planned to party and celebrate all night long.
