Summary: It Has Been Five Years since All I Want is You ended. Riker and Laura are happily married and life couldn't be more perfect, till something happens that could end all that. Not to mention how life has been to their friends and family. Sometimes Life isn't the perfect fairytale. But can love still overcome all?

Chapter One

It was another typical beautiful day here in Southern California. Temperatures were in the mid to high ninety's so what else was there to do but to go to the beach. And since they lived there they didn't really have to travel far. Riker was getting ready to go surfing with Ryland and Calum, and Laura wasn't blind she loved seeing her husband's body in a wet suit. It definitely showed off the right features. Laura couldn't help but laugh to herself. She was bad, they have been married for just about five years now but she and Riker were still those two horny in love people they were. No matter how many years have come and gone she still finds her husband the sexiest man alive and Riker tells her at least three times a day that she is beyond beautiful and he thanks god every day that she deemed him worthy of her love. Which she had to turn to him and say that he was beyond anything that she could ask for in a partner, husband best friend and lover. He completes her and that without him then she wouldn't know what to do. She still couldn't believe that it has been five years since they have been married and about seven years since they meet. Life was funny sometimes how which people come into your life and which people leave.

Laura knew that she and Riker were extremely lucky to have what they did. They had each other and their life together was something that she wouldn't take for granted. They have come through so much together from Maia first terrorizing Ross saying she was pregnant and then when she set her deluded mind on Riker and tricked him into her bed. That was a period of time where Laura really thought they could have been finished. But she should have known better. Despite the hurt and jealousy she realized how much damaged Maia did to Riker and Laura vowed not to let Maia win by tearing them apart. Sure they had gotten back together before she reached that point, but it still wasn't until then that she and Riker finally put the ghost of Maia behind them. It was a long and drawn out process after all Maia did try to kill Laura and Ross and she nearly did snag Riker but the love the two of them shared was nothing else and they beat her. Maia had stayed true to her word and stayed in Australia. Which they didn't seem to care to ever see her ever again. Turned out life had something to do that as well. Maia ended up staying there till she was killed in a freak accident involving Jet Ski's.

Laura sighed.

When they first learned of Maia's death all of them were shocked. What could be said? She did horrible things to all of them so she was definitely their favorite person and this might be cold but Laura didn't have it in her to care. Maia hurt Laura's family so why would she care that Maia paid the ultimate price. That was what she felt at first and Riker was silent. Laura could remember after that time she and Riker did have a fight about her reaction to Maia's death.

" What is your problem Riker? I mean why should we care if that bitch is dead?" Laura fumed as she still couldn't believe how Riker was acting. Riker was acting like if Mother Theresa was dead again and not some skank ass bitch who did them wrong on so many levels.

Riker rolled his eyes.

" My so called problem is that despite what she did and nobody knows what she was capable of doing more than me, But Laura she was still a person who lost their life in a tragic way. She was the mother of a child that I thought was mine. I am not saying that I want to go to her funeral or we should stop our lives, but we should not be celebrating the end of a life. If we did that then she would have won. That is not the Laura that I fell in love with, and she would have won. I do not want that."

Riker was right. Laura wasn't normally like that she had cried over stranger's deaths that she didn't even meet so why be so happy that Maia was gone. She was wrong and did horrible things but there were people who loved her and are morning her. Despite there being no love lost between them, Laura finally let go of the anger she had towards Maia and hoped that the girl finally found the peace that she was looking for in life but didn't get. Laura turned her head to watch Riker with Ryland and Calum, she just laughed at the sight of them. The three of them were laughing and trading stories on who was better. It was nice seeing Riker enjoying surfing again and with Ryland and Calum. It tore him up at first after Rocky, Ross and Ratliff had left. The four of them were the surfing gang as she so lovingly nicknamed them and at the mention of her former roommate's names her heart couldn't help but tug a little.

Rocky had left for Pepperdine Music of the Arts school in London England just the day after her and Riker's wedding. He was really happy over there and was succeeding beyond his expectations. He excelled over at the school that he ended up graduating over a year ago and was now helping out his professors with their new group of student's. Laura's heart swelled with pride at the thought of her best friend doing something that he really loved to do. Rocky had even met a girl named Becca and the two of them were really happy. Rocky hasn't really emailed in a while so she isn't sure how things are going but last time he did he let her know that he and a few of his friends that he had made over there have formed a band. Laura was really happy to hear that knowing that music was his passion. But she couldn't help but Miss Rocky as the last time she saw him was five years ago he hasn't been home and every time someone would broach the subject with him he said he would try and come home soon.

He hasn't been home since he left over five years ago. But to be fair they haven't flown out there either. Life just got in the way she supposed.

Ross on the other hand she really hasn't heard from, which breaks her heart. Last things she knew was that on the day he was supposed to come home from Hawaii, Ross called and let his parent's know that he decided that he wasn't coming home anything soon, if at all. They were devastated and demanded the truth from him. Ross just told them that he was of legal age and they didn't have the right to demand anything from him as he was not going to tell them anything. Stormie was hysterical crying wondering what she did to deserve her son to not even come home. Ross told her that if she was a proper mother that she would have had his back sooner with the whole Ratliff situation and coming out. That alone devastated Stormie and she apologized over and over again, but Ross wouldn't have it at all.

Laura sighed. She could remember the night that Riker found out what Ross had said to their mother and he flipped his mind. Riker called Ross screaming and cussing him out demanding why he decided to treat their mother like that, it had been years since the whole coming incident yet he chose that moment to punish her? Laura could remember the feeling of uneasiness and quizyness as she could over hear the two brothers go out it. And they did for hours. Riker's voice finally cracking as he told Ross to not even call anymore if that was how he was going to react. And Ross had no problem keeping to that promise.

How did everything change so rapidly and so quick?

Laura sighed again as thought back to her closest best friend. Ross was truly a part of her family and she hated being so estranged from him. After all she owed him for the life that she has now. Without meeting Ross, she would have never meet Riker or Rocky or Rydel or the rest of his family. All Laura could do was hope that someday her Ross would come home and fix his relationship with his family.

But so far she wasn't having any luck with that. Ross was a very stubborn person and espically if he was hurt and wounded then it was even worse. Laura was no fool she knows the reason that Ross will not come home is because LA was the place of his breakup with Ratliff. The two of them had loved each other so deep and hard that when they broke up it nearly destroyed Ross. Laura was pretty sure that it did because this Ross wasn't the Ross the she knew. She knows that Ross was the one that ended up costing them their relationship but she couldn't help but hope that Ratliff would find it in his heart to forgive Ross and they would get back together.

But that was no longer an option, as Ratliff is now married with a baby. Which Laura was completely blindsided when she heard the news. It wasn't that Laura wasn't happy for him and she found Ratliff to be like her brother but marring a girl and having a baby with her was just a bit surprising after his all-consuming love with Ross.

To only turn around and marry his sister? Yeah Ratliff married Rydel and the two of them have an adorable six month old baby girl named Rosie.

Yeah they all did not see that coming. Rydel had left for New York after graduating from college but none of them saw her getting with Ratliff as part of that. Turns out they bumped into each other one day and they started hanging out and one thing led to another and they are now a family. Laura was happy if they were happy and she knew that even though Rydel had come around and accepted Ross and Ratliff that she was still in love with him and so Laura was happy that Rydel finally got the ending she wanted, but Laura couldn't help but wish that Rydel could have found someone else and she wanted Ross and Ratliff to find their way back to one another. But she doesn't think that will ever happen once Ross finds out.

Yeah Ross doesn't know about Ratliff or Rydel and the baby or marriage as he refused any of their phone calls.

Laura couldn't help but pray that someday that her friends would come home and has everything out. She wanted nothing more than to see every as happy as she and Riker are.

" You okay baby?" Riker said as he made his way over and sat by his wife. It still amazed him to know that she was his wife. Laura just smiled.

" Yeah I am just thinking about everyone and wishing that everyone could be as happy as we are. I love you so much baby." Laura said as she kissed her husband. Riker sighed; he would never get tired of hearing Laura say that she loves him. It was amazing.

Riker just nodded. " Yeah me too, but everything will work out I am sure of it. I mean look at us? We have overcome so much and we are happy and together as we speak."

Laura smiled.

" I know and I am so happy about that. Hey where did Calum and Ryland go?" Laura said as she finally realized that they weren't there. Was she lost in thoughts so much that she didn't realize her friends having left?

Riker chuckled. " Wow you were zoned out. Calum went to go meet Raini as they have a doctor's appointment for their new baby and Ryland went back to his place to go meet Riley. I still can't believe my baby brother is getting married. Where as the time gone?"

" Life sure does change in a hurry huh? But hey he will always be your baby brother. And at least we know where he lives so we can visit him." Laura said. Ryland had taken over the beach apartment once Ross who was the last remaining roommate there said he wasn't coming back, and instead of having to give it up Ryland took it over and now lives there with his fiancé Riley.

Riker nodded. Laura could tell that he was thinking about how it was now only him and Ryland as the other siblings are spread across the world. Laura squeezed his arm.

" Every one will be together again some day. You all have a bond like no other siblings like I have known." Laura said trying to cheer up her husband. Riker just smiled.

" I hope you are right."

Laura rolled her eyes. " I am always right."

Riker laughed. " I forgot."

Laura swatted his arm. Riker stood up taking her hand and pulling her up. She took that as a sign that he was ready to go.

" Are you ready to go?" Laura asked. Riker nodded.

" Yeah it is getting late and we have to go get ready as we can go meet my parents for dinner."

Laura had forgotten all about that. She and Riker had a weekly dinner with his parents as a way to stay in touch. And she loved that, she and Stormie had really bonded like mother and daughter. Stormie and the rest of the lynch family well who was still here in LA helped Laura cope with her parent's death. They both were coming back from a trip up to Oregon when they were sideswiped off the freeway from a drunk driver both having been killed instantly. Laura of course was devastated. But Riker was there for her she could remember him holding her for hours and days just letting her morn for her family that was lost. Vanessa had come home from France from filming a movie for the funeral and the both of them had mourned their parents. Bot realizing that they were all that was left. But Stormie just had them and let them both grief promising that neither of them would be alone. So it was nice to have a weekly dinner with her in laws as she could feel that she was still apart of a family. And every week Stormie would ask when she was going to become a grandmother again.

Riker and Laura rolled their eyes. But Laura couldn't help but think of the same thing. It wasn't like they weren't trying. They definitely were, but it was difficult to become pregnant and they didn't know why it was so hard. They even went to the doctors to see why they couldn't and the doctors couldn't even tell them.

But it would work out in the end, because she knows that Riker was meant to be a daddy. He would be an awesome one and Laura really hoped that the day that he was one would come soon.

Riker and Laura made their way back home to get ready and she couldn't help but think that maybe someday she and Riker would have a little one that they could take to the beach. They made it home and had a few hours before they had to leave, So Riker being Riker suggested they take a shower to save on water, which Laura was happy to oblige. They made love in the shower before the water got cold and Laura never felt more alive as she does when Riker makes love to her. She can feel how much he loves and treasures her.

She was definitely a lucky lady. They both got out of the shower and got dressed. They figure they could have a small drive before they have to meet his parents.

" Come on babe let's go, I want to get this done so we can come home." Riker pouted.

Laura rolled her eyes. " It won't kill you to spend time with your parent's. I think your parents especially your mother needs this as all her kids are out of the house. So behave or I will have to punish you."

" Ohhh will you spank me?" Riker asked wiggling his eyebrows.

" No sex for a week I was thinking."

Riker pouted again before he just smiled. " Like that will happen, you can't not have this." Riker said waving his hand over his body.

Laura again just rolled her eyes. " You want to test me on that?" Laura asked. And Riker was silent.

" That is what I thought." Laura laughed as she and Riker both laughed and walked out the door locking it behind them as they left. Both of them getting in the car as Riker pulled out the driveway. He loved any chance that he got to take his lady out on the town. She deserved nothing but the best. And He would always make sure that she would have it. Riker just continued to drive as the two of them just laughed and talked about everything. It was times like these that they realized that what they had was something special and that they wouldn't trade it for the world.

Riker looked over at Laura and smiled. " What?" Laura giggled.

Riker shrugged his shoulders. " Can a guy just look and admire his very beautiful and sexy as hell of a wife?"

" I guess it is okay?" Laura chuckled. All of a sudden she heard a honk and she looked over.

" Riker watch out!" she screamed and Riker looked over. Shit. It was over before any of them knew it. The crash of the two cars overwhelmed her hearing and blackness took over.
