happiest memories🫶

pairing : nicky byrne x fem!reader

summary : all it took was just one photo, a photo from nicky and alessandra byrne's recent wedding that set off four of the couple's happiest memories together.

warnings : just a lot of fluff

a/n : the photo in question will be first and then the memories will be in 'order' and in italics so it makes more sense and the present time will be in normal font. also, i decided to finish my nicky byrne streak today with a happy one-shot after giving him some really depressing scenarios.

nicky and his wife alessandra byrne had just been rearranging their house when alessandra stumbled upon some of her and nicky's wedding photos from 2003. the photo she saw though, in particular, sending good shivers down her spine. the photo in specificity was taken as they left the church after the ceremony. nicky and alessandra had a very fancy, showbizzy sort of wedding in france after having a civil ceremony in county wicklow. the photo was taken just outside the church they had just gotten married in, alessandra was taking up majority of the photo with only a slither of nicky able to be seen, alessandra smiling a big smile at her new husband as they held hands. the slither that could be seen of nicky was his hand holding his wife's and the faintest/blurriest portion of his chin that looked as though he was also smiling at his wife. a big talk of the wedding was the fact that alessandra had two separate dresses, her ceremony dress, a simple satin, silky long-line dress, and her reception dress, a short dress with sparkling fringe all over it. which, of course was screaming y2k whilst nicky just changed from his suit jacket to his white button-up for the reception.

"...wow, i had completely forgotten about this photo..." alessandra trailed off as she looked up to her husband who could only smile and nod his head

"...i did too to be quite honest. i'm still glad even after so many years though that it doesn't show me crying *giggles* because lord have mercy, i just know i would have been non-stop heckled for that!" nicky joked as alessandra smiled at her husband, also laughing with him

"i mean, in all honesty, i kind of wish the photographer had included you in it more. you're cute when you get emotional," alessandra giggled as nicky smiled, shaking his head as he giggled

"i have to say though, this may just be my favourite photo from our wedding..." nicky trailed off as that intrigued his wife

"...how so?" "you'll see," nicky smiled as he opened up a photo album that was titled 1999

1999

alessandra was currently recording her first-ever single as one of rca records' new artists that they had just recently signed a contract with. whilst the girl was excited, she was just as terrified as she was excited. this was something she had been dreaming about doing for ages and now at just shy of twenty, she was doing exactly that. whilst it wasn't the first time exactly that alessandra would be recording a song, it was still the first time she was doing it as a signed artist with a record deal.

the girl was just asked to come out of her recording booth to meet another recently signed artist to rca records, another irish act but, she was told it was a boy band, five boys who ranged from the ages seventeen to twenty. however, she was slightly worried that because she was wearing nothing but a calvin klein bra and sweatpants she'd be making the wrong impression on the boy band. but, her manager, louis walsh told her not to worry about it and that her outfit choice would not change the impression from the boy band. and, honestly, she was glad that she trusted her manager's judgement because, in louise we trust, he was right.

"...hey...umm, you're alessandra buchanan? the other new signed artist to rca records?" a dublin accent rang out which caught alessandra's attention, looking up from her sheet of lyrics and sheet music, she smiled as she saw one of the five members of the boy band in front of her, he had gorgeous blue eyes and what looked like dyed blonde hair, looking a little nervous

"hiya...yeah, i am alessandra and, you are?"

"nicholas...i'm nicky byrne, i'm one of the memebrs of louis' new band, westlife. we've also been signed to rca records recently," he smiled shyly as alessandra smiled back at him as she scooched over so he could sit with her, a smile forming on his face as he quickly took the seat, ignoring the wolf whistles of a second blonde boy who was most likely another one of the members of the band

"oh, nice! i'm also being managed by louis, i think i do remember him mentioning that he was managing another boy band after boyzone but, i thought the band name was westside, maybe i hallucinated that actually *giggles*," nicky giggled at alessandra's quip of hallucinating westside as alessandra shared eye contact with the fellow blue-eyed boy

"you didn't hallucinate that, alessandra, we were originally called westside but, we had to change it for legal reasons cause i think a charity or whatever was named that so, we changed it to westlife," nicky explained as alessandra hummed with a nod of her head with a small giggle afterwards

"ahh, that makes sense..."

"...hey, nico, i was just looking for you..."

"...oh, i...i am so sorry. was i interrupting anything?" a sligo accent suddenly rang out, alessandra shifted her eyes to see a slightly shorter and slightly younger irish lad who had a striking set of hazel-like eyes standing in front of her and nicky

"oh, no, no, you weren't at all. nicky and i were just introducing ourselves to each other. hello, i'm alessandra buchanan, another one of rca records' newest signed artists and i'm also under louis walsh's management," she introduced herself as she stood up so she could properly shake hands with the new unnamed lad who smiled back at her - nicky watching at how effortlessly she had just done all of that with the most manners ever

"hiya alessandra, i'm shane filan, i'm in westlife with nicky and another three lads, also managed by louis walsh," shane smiled as alessandra too smiled and nodded her head as she then giggled

"well, shane, seeing as we're all here, do you want to sit here with nicky and me unless you needed to grab nicky for something else like a recording session or something?" both boys were so shocked to see how poised and put together a fellow signed artist who was basically the same age as them was after having just met the both of them, the two lads smiling at each other

"yeah, sure, i can stay here with you both. i was just trying to find nicky is all as one minute i was talking with him and bryan and the next second i look back and he's off and gone somewhere else," shane giggled which made nicky's face heat up - did he seriously bail out from his friends to introduce himself to her?

"oh, did he really do that? anyway, that's great you can stay with us, shane. besides, still confuses me why i'm recording today considering i can't even understand the melody this bloody song and i have to record it by the end of the day..." alessandra trailed off as nicky couldn't help but smile at the girl that was sitting very close to him

"...well, i...i mean, if you wanted, shane and i could help you with getting the melody? just so you can get the song recorded by today?" nicky stammered out nervously as alessandra smiled at the offer, shane agreeing as well

"seriously? i mean, it wouldn't be the first time i get someone raising their voice at me for not figuring someting out on my own *giggles* but, if you are able to, that would be such a help, thank you, nicky and shane," alessandra thanked sweetly as nicky and shane smiled at the girl

"it's no problem at all alessandra, nicky and i have already done our recording for the day, only bryan, kian and mark are left in the studio so, we're happy to help you. plus, we don't want you to be yelled at again, also, i know we should be like "enemies" and compete but, that's not our vibe. we're label buddies so, we'll be buddies in real life, so in saying all of that, let's help you get this song recorded!" shane announced as alessandra smiled as nicky grabbed her arm and helped her up from the seat

alessandra started to walk to her studio, turning around to see nicky and shane stalling behind her, giggling, she spoke up, "you coming boys or are you gossiping about me?" nicky and shane paused before shaking their heads

"we're coming alessandra!" they both shouted out which made the three of them giggle, alessandra turning around to continue to walk in the direction of her studio, leaving the sligonian and dubliner to themselves

"you are totally in love with her nico!" shane chuckled as nicky rolled his eyes, pushing his friend as they walked over to alessandra's studio

"no, i am not!"

"just wait a year, maybe less..."

"...nico, babe, what were you thinking about?" alessandra rubs her husband's back as he smiles

"'99, when we first met in the studio when westlife and you were signed to rca records," nicky smirked as alessandra giggled, showing the photo he had found that had been taken later that day

"holy crap, that feels like it was foredver ago now!" alessandra chuckled as nicky nodded his head in agreement

"it really does, shane really was right..."

december 1999

it was britannia's record of the year 1999, where both westlife and alessandra were nominated for record of the year with their songs flying without wings and breathe when it was shown that westlife and alessandra were seen walking in together, causing a right stir to all the magazines and paparazzi that showed up for the event. making the artists both giggle, none more so than alessandra and nicky, since they were shown walking in next to each other. it was wildly known within the magazines the whole year that those two had grown extremely close and was rumoured that they were dating since they were always seen out together. which, when it came to rumours around westlife and alessandra, people were shocked that bryan wasn't trying to ruin it since it was usually him that was in the magazines for those sorts of things. but, to be funny, nicky and alessandra started to put more fuel in the fire by constantly amping up their public outings and public flirting and egging on the photographers and magazines so they could get a reaction.

for the first time this entire night, however, alessandra had walked off from nicky and their table as she had spotted shane chatting with ronan keating, westlife's co-manager, fondling a whiskey.

"...hey shay, ro, can i sit?" alessandra asked sweetly, the ceremony not even begun filming yet, shane and ronan's eyes moving from their glasses to the young girl, both of them smiling back

"hey aless, course you can," shane smiled, ronan smiling too, "where's nicky, thought you'd be joint at the hip," the fellow irishman chuckled before the three composed themselves, so as to not create too much noise

"of course you did. but, nah, since the cameras aren't rolling, and before the evening starts, thought i'd just frolic around and talk to some people before the ceremony starts, ya know? just to release some nerves," alessandra smiled, making shane and ronan smile back as they empathised with the girl since record of the year was such a prestigious award show that was now in its second year

"fair, i mean, record of the year can be quite stressful," ronan smiled with a shrug of the shoulders since it was his second year being nominated

"do you think he's realised you've left him?" shane chuckles at alessandra, playing around with his whiskey that he was seemingly having trouble even drinking as the irish lass chuckled

"i mean, i feel like if he had he'd be going on a manhunt right about now but, i think right now he hasn't noticed, why do you say that mr filan? you suspect mr byrne and i have a thing going on?" alessandra narrowed her eyes at the boy, bringing her hands underneath her chin as her elbows rested against the table as she moves closer to the sligonian who giggles hysterically and moves back instinctively, ronan quietly giggling, the three of them thanking heaven that they weren't on air right now

"no, why would you think that? am i that obvious?" shane cackles, his head flailing backwards making alessandra and ronan shut shane up so no one else would hear them as they also start giggling

"sssh, unfortunately, yes, you're not as slick as you like to think you are mr filan," alessandra giggles as the three of them calm down

then, just as the three of them calmed down, denise van outen, the host of the 1999 record of the year made her way to the stage after the cameraman had announced that they were about to go live. this then worried the crap out of alessandra, the colour draining from her face since it was her first big awards show since getting her recording contract at the beginning of the year. both men, shane and ronan, noticed this and asked the girl if she was okay.

"...aless, you okay?" shane questioned, snapping alessandra out of her disassociation as she smiled at him and ronan

"yeah, i'm fine, why?" alessandra responded as the two lads looked at each other in worry

"do you want me to get nicky or do you want me to walk us back to our table for the awards ceremony?" shane then asked as she smiled and nodded her head

within minutes, nicky with two glasses of vodka soda had reached shane, alessandra and ronan. downing the two drinks, shane and nicky, along with alessandra in the middle of them, walked back over to the westlife/alessandra table for the ceremony that was moments from going live.

let's just say that for the rest of the ceremony, nicky and alessandra did not leave each other's sides after the first time failed. that was until it was announced that westlife had won and had to perform their winning song one last time.

"...nicky, do you remember when we went on tour together?" alessandra suddenly sks her husband as he tilts his head, trying to rack his brain of the memory

"i'm trying very hard, why? what happened when we went on tour together?" nicky questioned, leaning against the table as alessandra pointed at a photo that showed the two of them together in the middle of laughter with the other members in the background

westlife and alessandra on tour

just one glance was all it took for alessandra to forget the next set of lyrics to her song as she tried her hardest to get back on track so she could remember the next set of lyrics so it wasn't the crowd singing the whole time.

to the fans in the audience, it was obvious why alessandra forgot her lyrics and who that one glance was to. and nicky wasn't so slick either. the two had been making silly faces at each other until one of nicky's signature "nicky looks" caught her off guard and made her forget what lyrics were coming next in her song.

after barely getting through the song due to her giggles, alessandra spoke up for her mini speech before the next song, "...gosh darn it, nicky! okay, for those who were concered or confused, the reason why i forgot the lyrics of my own song was because of nicky byrne from westlife! we were making silly faces at each other, as we usually do, when nicky caught me off guard with one of his famous "nicky looks" and it all just went to shit from there *giggles* so i apologise greatly for that everyone!" alessandra giggled, the audience laughing with her as she turned to notice nicky suddenly get all bashful and red in the face

laughing cause she could hear his bandmates giving him some stick, alessandra spoke up again, "now nicky's getting teased by his bandmates which is the funniest thing in the world but, it is your fault, nicky!" alessandra joked as nicky shouted an apology which caused everyone to laugh again

"i'm sorry, okay aless?!" nicky shouts as alessandra and the audience laugh, resulting in the couple, nicknamed nicsandra, also bursting out into laughter

"i know, i was just playing with you, nico!" alessandra giggled as nicky let out a dramatic sigh of relief, the both of them really just teasing the crowd at this point

"i take that back actually..." alessandra huffed as nicky's entire body shook in laughter, his head flying back as alessandra had a sly smirk that was twitching at her lips before she also broke

"...you wish!" nicky snickered after he had composed himself from his full-body laugh as alessandra groaned and rolled her eyes after she had composed herself from her laughter as well

"well, shit, i can't win this and, now i'm supposed to continue performing? how unfair!" alessandra huffed as nicky and the rest of the westlife boys and the audience found this entire interaction between the couple hysterically comedic

"that's because you never do, i always win these things! i would've thought you'd know this by now babe, come on now!" nicky teased, not realising that he had just outed him and alessandra's relationship, causing the entire audience to scream bloody murder, alessandra's eyes widening and nearly giving herself whiplash from how quickly she turned towards her boyfriend

in an attempt to stop the fans from freaking out over this new revelation, alessandra tried to lessen the imapct, "nicky! no, guys, calm down, nicky and i are not dating..." trailing off at the end only because she knew that there was no way this could be fixed, nicky had seriously just outed his own relationship with alessandra after keeping it private for at best, a year

"...yeah, nah, there is no way we can hide it now, sorry aless!" nicky hushed out after alessandra finished her set, causing the girl to smile, grabbing her boyfriend's face and kissing it

"it's okay babe, i think it was starting to stress us out a little too much so, i don't mind that everyone knows now..." she trailed off as nicky's face lit up, not just in excitement but also due to the fact he was blushing

"...cool, i agree..." nicky trails off as he giggles, before pulling alessandra in for a kiss causing the both of them to giggle even more as they touched foreheads before hearing the click and seeing the flash of a camera, making them giggle more

"...babe, i had never felt such fear until that moment i accidentally outed us on our first tour together!" nicky chuckled as alessandra giggled hysterically, nodding her head in agreement as they looked at the photo where the memory had come from

"i know! i was mortified but, by the end of it, i didn't care anymore since it did stop the magazines from constantly making rumours about us just to stop them from mentioning brian," alessandra giggled as nicky nodded his head, giggling too

"honestly, at that point, i think i was too since we were so used to seeing brian in the magazines for the wrong reasons, i guess we also wanted to prevent that and how it could have potentially ruined westlife's image," nicky smiled as he rubbed his hand against his wife's back before giving her a kiss on the cheek and getting up to make dinner whilst alessandra continued to look through the photo album

2004

"...wait, your full name really is nicholas bernard james adam byrne jr?" alessandra chuckled, she was currently staying with nicky in baldoyle and right now they were at nicky's childhood home, she had picked up a photo frame that she hadn't seen until this moment - a baby photo of nicky that had his first, middle(s) and last name engraved in the photo frame

"yeah...it's been like that my entire life, what about it baby?" nicky scoffed as he turned around to see what his wife had gotten into when he realised what she was holding

"why didn't you ever tell me that james was really one of your middle names?" there was sort of a sad tinge in alessandra's voice when she asked that and, it saddened but at the same time confused nicky, who had placed the tea towel down and left the kitchen to check on his wife

"i...i'm not sure babe, i guess our middle names really haven't eveer come up in conversation since our wedding, why are you asking that babe? i thought it was common knowledge that i had three middle names. is there something you haven't told me yet?" nicky was genuinely concerned as alessandra scoffed slightly as her husband tilted his head

"james was the name of my brother that uh, that wasn ever born because of a very late abortion that my mam had taken..." alessandra trailed off in embarrassment, placing down nicky's baby picture as she sighed heavily - nicky was never told about that and, whilst it intrigued him, it worried him more so than anything else

"...how late, if you don't mind me asking, of an abortion did mam have of baby james, babe?" nicky's face was genuinely a look of concern as alessandra smiled slightly as she placed her hand plam down against the old cabinet that had the old childhood photos, including that baby photo of nicky amongst other ones of him with his siblings, gillian and adam, scattered all over it

"at the fifteen week mark, two weeks after she had been told that baby would have a facial abnormality and a week after she had an early ultrasound to determine the gender of baby james..." she trailed off and it was very obvious to nicky that this was a thing that she rarely spoke about and he respected that but, it still hurt his heart as he never thought his mother-in-law would do something like that to a baby who was so close to being born, not that he was one to ever judge what a woman does to her body however

"how...how did you and the rest of the family react? how did dad react?" nicky stuttered, feeling like he shouldn't have been asking so many questions but, he couldn't help it and alessandra was slowly smiling - as if talking about this trauma that she had shoved so far down was actually helping her relieve the trauma it gave her

"we were absolutely appalled by what she did at first. i mean, i refused to talk to her and honestly, sometimes i still do as it's something my step-mam has trouble shutting up about at every family function even though it was a couple of decades ago now. dad was devastated, he didn't care if baby had a facial abnormality. he was just excited that we were bringing in the eighth kid as we all were however, mam, on the other hand obviously soon realised, as did the rest of the family, that if she were to carry the baby to term, it wouldn't just be bad for the baby but also get dangerous for mam as well. so, it was decided that terminating the baby was the safest bet, especially since she didn't want her already seven children to get older without their mam alive to see it," alessandra trailed off as nicky's face fell into furrowed eyebrows with a saddened look on his face

"wow, that...that's awful and, i bet no matter facial abnormality or not, baby james would have been the sweetest little brother ever!" nicky smiles softly, placing his hand over the top of his wife's who smiled back as she nodded her head

"thanks, nico, never knew i'd reveal that especially so soon after our wedding as it isn't technically my place but, i guess it's just been weighing me down lately..." alessandra trailed off as nicky's smile grew prouder

"...and i'm proud of you my love... also, what's your middle name? you didn't tell me at the wedding so i had to stand there red-faced whilst my full name was recited out but yours wasn't,"

"for god's sake nicky, it's sofia-anne,"

"have i ever told you that your middle name is absolutely gorgeous?" nicky just randomly blurts out as he mashed up the sweet potatoes as alessandra giggles and furrows her eyebrows in confusion

"excuse me what?" she cackled as she went back to folding up clothes that had just been washed, nicky giggling softly as they kept an eye on the noise in the play room

"your middle name bubs, it's very pretty," nicky spoke as alessandra blushed as she giggled out in embarrassment

"awe, thanks my darling! i love it as well," she giggles softly as she places the folded jacket into the wash hamper

"who gave you your full name?" nicky then asked, his focus more on his wife's name than the sweet potato mash, making alessandra giggle

"dad did actually. he had always loved those three names, alessandra, sofia and anne and, he realised that they had a good flow together and, when he put it together with the last name, it was just nice and satisfying to say so, they decided to name me, alessandra sofia-anne buchanan, with sofia and anne being hyphenated," she smiled, shrugging her shoulders as nicky bit his lip - yeah, he still loved the hell out of his wife

"that's adorable. i love that your dad chose it, i'm guessing that gave daddy the upper hand in the department of the favourite parent?" nicky giggled as alessandra nodded her head as she huffed some hair out of her face that was starting to become red

"oh, for sure. daddy's girl from the start!" alessandra giggled which made nicky chuckle as well as he then continued on the sweet potato mash for his family's dinner

wedding day, daddy/daughter dance, 2003

it was time for the daddy/daughter's first dance at nicky's and alessandra's french wedding and, let's just say, she was so very excited and, it was mainly due to the song choice. she had elvis can't help falling in love as a surprise for her dad as that song was the song he would sing her to sleep with every single night.

the song started and straight away, alessandro buchanan, alessandra byrne's father couldn't hide the tears that had built up in his eyes as his little girl wiped them away. instead of her father singing the lyrics to his little girl, alessandra surprised her father and sang the words to him.

"wise men say, only fools rush in but i can't help falling in love with you..." alessandra sang softly as the father and daughter duo glided softly on the dance floor, nicky watched on as he danced with his mother with a tearful smile on his face

"...like a river flows, surely to the sea darling, so it goes, some things you know, are just meant to be..." the duo sang together as they hugged and swayed side to side in tune with the music

"...take my hand, take my whole life too, for i can't help falling in love with you, for i can't help falling in with you, yeah..."

humming the melody of elvis' can't help falling in love, alessandra continued to fold clothes as nicky heard his wife, "...you alright babe?" nicky whispered, hugging her from behind as the chaos of their two kids started to filter away into white noise as alessandra smiled at her husband

"mhm," alessandra mumbled back, turning her head to smile at her husband as she then took notice of her and nicky's eldest daughter, sofia

"sofia! could you get your brother ready please, daddy's just about done with dinner!" alessandra called out, a happy squeal leaving sofia's mouth as she neatly put her toys away before gathering up her brother's toys as well

"coming mamma!" sofia calls back, herding her younger brother upstairs to wash their hands for dinner, giving the husband and wife a few more minutes together alone

"mmm, you think sofia and james will react well to getting another brother or sister?" alessandra announced casually as nicky's eyes widened

"what? seriously? you're pregnant again babe?" nicky gaped in shock as alessandra giggled, nodding her head

"yep, i'm five months, just short!" alessandra squealed as nicky picked up his wife in pure excitement

"WE'RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY, ALESSANDRA!" nicky screeched from just about the tops of his lungs as the husband and wife chuckled, hearing the increased pitter patter of feet meaning that most likely, sofia and james had heard their daddy scream

fin

this ending is a sweet ending for sure that at the time i wasn't the biggest fan of but it has since definitely grown on me!
