Time Changes Everything

=== 2 YEARS LATER ===

It had now been 2 years since Laura left. She was gonna tell Riker about the baby, but her Dad forced her not to. It was almost like a threat. But she didn't understand. Her Dad was always so nice to her, why has he all of a sudden changed?

Now he just throws threats around left right and center. Sometimes he hits her. Laura's now starting to finding it difficult to protect her 2 year old son. Laura had a boy. It was difficult to give birth seen as though she didn't have a birthing partner. She was all on her own. She wished she had Riker with her though.. Telling her it was gonna be okay.. and actually helping her!

Germaine. That was his name Germaine. Germaine Ross Lynch. She named Germaine after Ross because Ross is Laura's bestfriend, she never got a chance to say goodbye to him either. So it's the least she could do. Isn't it?

But Ross hasn't got anything to complain about! His life's perfect now. His, Riker, Rydel, Ratliff and Rocky's. They're famous now! R5. She's listened to their music and she loves it. They're doing great! Really great. She's proud of them.

Her phone started ringing "Noah?" Laura said answering the phone surprised. "Laura!" Noah said. Oh gosh. She hasn't heard Noah's voice forever.. She hasn't seen him either. She misses her older brother. "W-what are you doing calling me?" Laura asked. "I wanted to ask you something." Noah said. "Go on.." Laura said. "I've finally found my own place where I live on my own," Noah said "and I still feel bad for Mom kicking you out after you got pregnant to go live with Dad. So.. Wanna move back to L.A and live with me?" "I would love to!" Laura blurted out smiling.

Then a though occurred to her. Riker. "But what about Riker..?" Laura asked. "Don't worry about him, he's on tour with R5." Noah said. "Oh, whens he gonna be back?" Laura asked. "In.. shit. He's back tomorrow." Noah said. "Oh great.." Laura sighed. Noah sighed also "Look Laura, you've hidden the truth from him long enough. I think its time to tell him about Germaine." Noah said. "I know, but he'll hate me," Laura said "it's bad enough Dad forced me not to tell him." "Then just tell Riker that then," Noah said "he's a pretty understanding guy." "But what about his music career, Noah?" Laura asked "I could ruin it for him.." "Laura.. He's 22. I'm pretty sure as soon as you hit 20 its okay for you to have children when your famous." Noah said. "But I'm 18.. Almost 19.." Laura said. "Laura, just come back to Cali. I'll have you back, I always will," Noah said "and if Riker says he wants nothing to do with the kid, then I'll kick his ass. But I doubt he won't."

Laura chuckled "I missed you Noah.." Laura said. "I've missed you too. Now I want my baby sister back down in LA. So come on. See ya." Noah said before hanging up. Laura sighed. She then looked at Germaine who was asleep on the bed. She smiled before kissing him on the head "Don't worry sweetie," She said smiling "we're going back home."

Riker got back onto the tour bus and collapsed onto the couch "Let me sleep.." Riker said laying down and shutting his eyes. "You can't." Rocky said. "Yes, I can.." Riker said turning over. "No, Rocky's right.. You can't." Rydel said. Riker sat up "Why not?" Riker asked. "Cause.. I don't see our little brother around. Our little brother meaning Ross Lynch." Rydel said. "Oh yeah, that reminds me," Rocky said "I don't see Ratliff either!" Riker shrugged.

Then something occurred to him at last "OH MY GOD!" Riker shouted "we've left them behind!" "We've only left them in the building where we've just performed.." Rydel said. "Oh.." Riker said "I'm sure they'll be back soon then." "Are you sure?" Rocky asked "because them two have been going AWOL an awful lot lately." "You don't think.." Rydel said looking at both her brothers.

Rocky and Riker then looked at eachother before back at Rydel for an answer. "No.." Rocky and Riker said in a unison.

Just then Ross and Ratliff walked through the tour bus door "Thanks for leaving us!" Ross said sarcastically. "Hey, you two are the ones going AWOL all the time." Rydel said. "Hmm, maybe it's because you guys keep leaving us behind!" Ratliff said. "He's got a point.." Riker added in "we do tend to be doing that alot lately."

They all just sighed "Sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick," Rydel said "well. wrong idea anyways." Ross and Ratliff looked at eachother confused before looking back at Rydel. They then clicked onto what she was thinking. "WHAT?! IW! NO!" Ross and Ratliff shouted. "Alright, I'm sorry!" Rydel said "I'm just tired and wanna go to sleep.. Night." She then went to the back of the bus into her bed. So did Rocky.

Ross then looked at Riker who was sat in the chair with an upset expression. "You okay dude?" Ross asked sitting next to him. "We went to Miami," Riker said "we tried looking. And we couldn't find her.." Ross sighed "Look.. Laura could be anywhere right now." Ross said. "I know," Riker sighed "it's just.. I feel like when she left.. She didn't tell me the real reason why she left. I mean, who leaves just cause their parents kicked em' out?" Ross shrugged his head "Point taken," Ross said standing up "now are you gonna come to bed or what? We get home tomorrow remember." "Yeah I'll be through in a second." Riker said.

Ross and Ratliff then went into their beds in the bus.

Riker just sat there thinking. If he did have the chance to see Laura again. What would he say to her? Would he even try with her?

What's he thinking, of course he'd try with her! HE loves her! Still.. Wow..
