Last month Nicky Byrne got a phone call that's set to change his life.
As relaxed alone a London Apartment during a day off from his westlife duty, Nicky answered this call and heard Georgina screaming with joy.
The News they'd anticipated had been confirmed; his wife was expecting their first child.
Reliving the moment during an excusive interview with SWM, Nicky face is ablaze with happiness.
'It's a cliché, but all the number one hits with Westlife are nothing compared to this,' he says 'the baby was planned and I knew Georgina going for the test she phoned me, I was hoping the news would be positive'
After Georgina call, Nicky was on the next fight to Dublin- 'like a light'- and within in a couple hours were breaking the news to there respective families.
'We told Georgina's mum first, then my mam and dad, and then we told Georgina's dad. All within two hours of each other' reveals Nicky
Sometime next June- Nicky is coy about the exact date- they will make Taoiseach's Bertie Ahern a granddad.
So how did Bertie React?
'He had a laugh about it (being a granddad)' Nicky says,
'He smiled from ear to ear you could see he was proud. It's the First grandchild in both families and that has created more excitement'
Devoted couple Nicky and Georgina have been living a charmed life-one that just seems to get better and better.
They are school sweethearts who've been together since 16. And through Nicky's success with Westlife they enjoy a life style that is the stuff of dreams.
'We are together 12 years and we've had a lot of fun. Through Westlife we've seen the world together and now this is the icing on the cake" Nicky says 'it's the next step in our lives together, We always said that when we feel ready the time will be right, we didn't want to have children during the early days of Westlife. We saw the heartache Brian had because he was so young and he had the pressure of constant touring, We knew we weren't ready at that stage. But when Shane and Gillian had their little daughter Nicole, last year we began to get broody and we felt the time was right for us as well. There is no sign of Westlife success slowing down and we've just signed a brand new contract for the next four or five years, so they're no pointing in waiting. Of course I realise that we are blessed because nit everyone can have kids and my heart goes out to people who cant. Life works in mysterious ways; we are lucky enough for Georgina to be pregnant'
Nicky will have a couple of months off around the time his child is due. 'Being due in early summer, makes it great for us' he says. 'We finish our tour the first week of may, so it gives us a couple months, to take it all on board and start changing nappies. We haven't designated a baby room in our house yet, so we are going to have got somebody in to turn it around. One thing I've learnt from Shane and Gillian is just how much stuff goes with a baby! I think were going have to get a separate tour bus for Shane and myself and our families. That will be the baby tour bus. Kian usually travels with Jodi and his little per dog, and Mark obviously has Kevin. We're a proper Adams Family on the road now.'
Since the couple announced their good news to the public, Nicky has been getting a mixed reaction.
'The guy down in my local in malahide said 'you've done a lot of things in your life, but your blessed with your own child is very special' that was touching. Then I got the lads going "Ah it's a 25 year life sentence. Your life isn't yours anymore!"'
Nicky and Georgina have no Preference for the sex of their child.
'Whatever comes along we'll take it' He laughs. 'That what everybody says and it only hits you once you're in the position. Once they are healthy it doesn't bother me. But the bookies are already offering odds on the names. I have pals asking me what I will call him or her. They want to make a few bob on it.
Although she fainted while out shopping recently and has bouts of nausea, Georgina is in good form.
'Pregnant women's blood pressure drops sometimes dramatically and that caused her to faint' He explains 'But compared to the experience of some of her friends, she pretty good. She's just delighted. Every morning there's a smile from ear to ear on both our faces. We cant believe how lucky we are with cards that have been dealt.'
