Here it is... the first chapter to the sequel :]
Thanks so much for supporting me on Don't Let Go, I love that you loved it.
So yeah, this is it. Finally. The title is long as hell, but it works for the story, in my opinion.
Tell me what you think! Enjoy it. I own nothing.
The alarm blared through the small room, a hand reaching out to shut it off, the person attached the hand, groaned, rolling over and poking his girlfriend's cheek. She giggled and he smiled as they opened their eyes and looked at each other.
"Is it time to wake up?" Laura asked and Ross nodded, yawning as he slowly sat up to run his fingers through his hair.
"How are you feeling?" He asked and she made a face.
"I'm okay, mostly tired."
He nodded and leaned in, kissing her forehead, before smiling and getting out of bed. He went to his phone and put it in the sound dock, then he pressed random and one of their favorite songs, Chocolate by the 1975 came on, causing a smile to appear on Laura's face.
"Repeat?" He asked and she nodded.
"Repeat," She confirmed, getting out of bed, she went over to him and wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers in his hair, she pressed her lips against his, kissing him gently as he softly kissed her back. She pulled back and looked up at him, "I call shower first." She whispered and he blinked his eyes in surprise, his tired mind barely catching up with her words.
"Wait!" He reached for her, but she had ran off, giggling into the bathroom. He followed after her and picked her up, spinning her around as she laughed more.
"We're not going to get to set on time, if we keep messing around," Laura pointed out and he shrugged in response.
"Then we'll have to take a shower together, to… you know save time." He winked at her and her mouth dropped open as she playfully shoved him.
"Go make us some breakfast," She kissed him, "I wont be long, I promise."
"Don't forget, I have to shower too!" Ross called as he left the bathroom.
"Yeah, I know! You smell bad!" She yelled back as she laughed. Ross just shook his head and started on breakfast. Eggs, bacon, and pancakes—his personal favorite. Laura came out a few moments later, her hair wet. She put her hand his back and he smiled at her.
"Ready for food?"
She nodded, patting her stomach. "I better be, I'm eating for two." Ross leaned in and kissed her. She smiled and took a plate from him, going to sit down at the table.
They talked for a while about random things while they ate. What to expect on set, wondering if Calum was going to do something random or if Rocky would be there to do something random with Calum.
After they finished, Laura cleaned the dishes as Ross went to go take a quick shower. Then they hopped into his car and drove off towards the set, the song still playing. Laura raised her hands in the air and giggled as the wind blew through her hair. Ross smiled at her and she smiled back, taking his hand in hers as they pulled up to the studio.
"Well, if it isn't the cutest couple in the world," Raini greeted them as they walked into Laura's dressing room. Laura gave her an unamused look and Raini just smiled at her. "So, Ross? Excited for your concert tonight?"
"Hell yeah, I'm excited. It's gonna be a great one!" Ross pumped his fist in the air.
"It better be man, I'm giving up watching the Superbowl for you," Calum said as he walked into the room, "oh and I brought someone with me," He looked behind him and Laura squealed once she saw Maia was there.
"Maia!" She ran to her and hugged her tight. "I haven't seen you in forever! How was your trip back home?"
"Perfect," Maia smiled at her. "I had a great time, got to see all my friends, my family, my little shit brother."
"Oh Maia, don't be like that, you know you love him. He's all you talking about in Puerto Rico," Ross teased.
"Yes, we all have siblings we call little shits," Maia deadpanned. "If I'm not mistaken that's what you call all your siblings."
"Sometimes, yeah, mostly Rocky, but they started it by calling me that, so there." Ross playfully stuck his tongue out.
Laura giggled at her boyfriend's childish antics.
"Anyway, not that we're happy to see you, but why are you here?" Ross asked.
"I was on my way to work and decided to stop in and say hello." She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time. "I've got to go actually, but it was great seeing you. See you at the concert tonight." With one last hug to everyone in the room, she was gone.
"Maia is so awesome," Callum commented. "Like, very."
"Yeah, she's pretty cool." Ross agreed.
Laura walked across the room to her bag, she pulled out her script and then sat down beside Ross, who was already on the couch.
"Looks like this episode is a big one," She commented. "Does Austin finally admit to Ally he's in love with her? The world may never know."
"Or the world can just watch the episode, but in the meantime, we should probably all go over our lines." Ross said and everyone agreed.
After they read through the script, they were called onto set for rehearsals.
"Hey guys!" Kevin greeted them with a smile, "how's it going?"
"Well, nothing's changed since the last time we saw you, which was yesterday, so I'd say pretty great." Ross joked.
"Alright, Pretty Boy, let's get started on rehearsal, we've got a live taping this Friday." Soon, they got to work and before they knew it, it was time to leave for Ross' rehearsals.
Since Maia was going to take Laura to the venue later that night, Ross dropped Laura off at their apartment before going to the rehearsal studio to meet with his family.
"See you tonight?" Ross asked.
"No, I wont be seeing you tonight," Laura smiled as she leaned in to kiss Ross. "Love you have fun and stay out of trouble."
Ross laughed, "You're talking to the wrong Lynch here."
"No, I'm pretty sure I'm talking to the right one," Laura teased and then kissed him again.
"Love you," Ross said as she got out of the car. She smiled and waved at him and he pulled away from the curb. She went up to their apartment, unlocking the door, she fell onto the couch, already exhausted from being up so early in the morning. She was about to close her eyes and rest for a few minutes when her phone went off.
She flipped it open, holding it to her ear, "hello?" She mumbled.
"Hey, Laura. Just wanted to let you know I'm on my way, I'll see you soon." Maia said and she nodded, even though she couldn't see her and let out a yawn.
"Alright then, see you soon."
She hung up and got up to get something to drink. She looked down at her stomach, "you, little one, are making me very sleepy these days. Stop doing that!" She giggled, as she realized she was scolding an unborn child. Then, sighing, she leaned against the counter, thinking over a few things.
It had only been two months since she had told Ross she was pregnant. They hadn't told anyone yet and luckily she wasn't showing. The only people who knew were herself, Ross and Maia. She knew they'd have to tell everyone else eventually, but she wasn't really ready to and understandably, neither was Ross.
She ran her fingers through her hair as she heard her phone going off again.
"Hello?"
"I'm here," Maia said and Laura nodded, pressing the button to let her inside the building. It wasn't long before she heard a knock on the door and let her friend inside.
"Welcome to my… surprisingly clean apartment," Laura blinked, confused. "I could've sworn Ross had his clothes all over the place last night. He was trying to decide what to wear to his concert," She explained.
"Maybe he cleaned it while you were sleeping or distracted," Maia said and Laura nodded.
"Possibly, so are you hungry? Thirsty? Any of the above?"
Maia smiled at her, "I'm both, actually."
Laura grinned, "then what are we waiting for? Let's make us something to eat! We've still got a few hours before the show, so we can hang out for a bit."
Maia agreed, "so how are you doing with everything?"
"I'm alright," Laura said as she pulled out eggs and bacon and other items from the fridge. "I'm still getting sick, but it's not as bad as it was before."
Maia nodded, "have you and Ross talked about when you're going to tell everyone?"
Laura shook her head, "We're not ready to yet and it doesn't really look like I'm pregnant so we're just giving it a little more time."
"You're not going to have much time left," Maia pointed out. "I wouldn't wait too much longer."
Laura sighed, "I know." She pulled out pans and placed them on top of the stove. They continued to cook in silence when Laura got sick of it and playfully splashed Maia with some water that was on her fingers.
"Oh, now you're going to get it," Maia laughed as she splashed her back.
"That was so weak," Laura teased, "come on, I know you've got better than that."
"I do, actually. But for the sake of Ross' future heart attack if I hurt you in any way, I'd rather not go there."
Laura laughed. "He's fine." She waved off the concern.
"Right," Maia agreed and she laughed more as they finished making their meal and started to eat it together, talking a little more about life and Maia's recent trip to Australia before they decided it was time to get ready for the concert.
"Wow," Maia looked around as they walked into the venue for the concert. "This place is really nice, good goin' Lynches. This is pretty damn impressive."
Laura laughed as they walked further inside. They heard a gasp and a saw a girl around their age, bouncing in her spot. She quickly ran up to them.
"You're—and you—" She was practically hyperventilating, so Laura put her hand on the young girl's shoulder.
"Relax, we're still two normal people," Laura smiled at her.
"Can you t-take a picture with—with me?" The girl asked and Laura nodded.
"Of course." She posed with the girl while Maia took the picture and then they switched places. They signed a few things for her and then she ran off.
"I love making fans days." Maia smiled and then Laura agreed.
They walked up to the merchandise area where they found Ryland was, going over a few things with the workers. He turned around and saw them, smiling, he waved them over.
"Hey, Laura, Ross is backstage," He said into her ear as he hugged her. "He's waiting for you."
Laura nodded as Ryland hugged Maia.
"Just go right ahead, mom's standing there so she'll tell you were to go. I just gotta finish up here real quick and I'll be right there."
"Do you need any help?" Laura asked.
Ryland shook his head, "nah, I'm cool."
Laura smiled and then she and Maia walked through the theatre to the side of the stage. Rocky, Riker and Ratliff were on the stage, playing the instruments and just goofing off. Rocky was the first to see Laura.
"Laura!" He yelled, "Dude, you're here! Finally!"
"Finally?" Maia looked at Laura who just shrugged in response.
Rocky jumped off the stage and walked over to her. He put his hand on her shoulder and looked at her seriously. "Ross has been impatient all day waiting for you to show up, I think he said something about ass, shaking and wanting something… I wasn't really listening." He waved it off.
"When do you ever listen to anything Ross says?" Laura narrowed her eyes.
"Good point, she's got a good point," Rocky said to Maia who just laughed. "Anyway, go ahead. Maia? Join us onstage?"
"I'd love to," Maia answered and with that walked with Rocky. Laura shook her head and soon found Stormie with Rydel. They were both talking to Ross about something, but since Ross' back was turned towards her, he wasn't looking at her. Rydel noticed her first and Laura put her finger to her lips, Rydel nodded and then nudged Stormie. Stormie looked at her, nodding too, while Ross just kept speaking, oblivious and waving his hands in the air.
Deciding not to wait any longer, Laura walked up until she was right behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her chin on his back, since she was so much shorter than him.
He looked surprised for about a second, before he looked down and noticed her. His eyes immediately lit up and he turned his body so that they were facing each other, his hands going around her waist.
"I missed you, you know," He said.
"I know," She smiled, "I'm just too amazing of a person, not to miss."
"There's that ego I missed so much," He teased.
She rolled her eyes. "We were only apart for like a few hours. I live with you, remember dummy?"
Ross nodded, "I remember," He leaned in closer. She closed her eyes, waiting for him to kiss her, but the kiss never came.
She opened her eyes and saw that familiar sparkle in his eye, one that meant he was up to no good. She soon found out when he tickled her and she squealed, trying to get away from him, but he just held on tighter, his arms wrapping tighter around her waist and he picked her up, spinning her around. She giggled, her hair flying behind her as he then set her down gently on the ground.
Then, before she could say anything he leaned in and kissed her. She responded back, pressing her lips against his a bit harder and then he deepened it. She pulled away once she remembered they weren't exactly alone.
"We just made out in front of your mother and your sister," Laura said to him.
He made a face and waved off her concern, "they've already heard us having sex, remember? I'm sure this is nothing for them."
Laura's mouth dropped open and he kissed her forehead before laughing. "Kidding, I'm totally kidding."
"You better be." She rolled her eyes.
"Hey, Ross? Sorry to break up this mini reunion you have going here, but we're on soon," Rocky spoke from behind Ross.
Ross sighed, "two months, two months, we moved out and Rocky still never fails to be the cockblock."
"But we weren't doing anything," Laura reminded him.
"That's what you think," He answered cryptically. He then looked at his older brother. "I'll be there in a second."
"Sorry, totally didn't mean that, but… you know ,try not to scar everyone for life that's here alright?" Ross glared at him, "just saying, you don't have to listen to me, but seriously bro. There are children here."
"He's asking for it," Ross sighed.
"Yes he is," Laura agreed, giggling.
"Would you excuse me? I have to go, you know… kill him."
Laura smiled, "go right ahead, I give you full permission."
"Thank you," Ross said and then turned to face Rocky. "You better run."
"For what? I was just saying little kids are here and—oh shit, I see your point," And with that he ran, with Ross chasing after him. He eventually caught up, tackling him to the ground. "Hey! Watch the hair!"
Laura laughed as Rydel put her hand on her shoulder, "I can't believe I'm related to them."
"I can't believe I live with one of them," Laura answered. She giggled for a moment, before turning to her, giving her her full attention. "Anyway, go have a kickass show. I'll be in the front row, cheering you guys on until I lose my voice with Maia, Raini, Calum and some other people."
"That's what I like to hear," Rydel laughed. "See you soon, girl."
Laura waved and then walked with Stormie to the front of the stage where Maia was already sitting. She sat down beside her. "You ready for this?"
"Ready, steady, let's go," Maia laughed.
"I see," Laura laughed. "Get ready to scream so loud, we'll probably lose our voices for a whole day and not be able to speak."
"Don't you already do that with Ross?" Calum deadpanned as he sat down beside her, Raini next to him.
Laura's cheeks turned pink. "I…uh…shit, Calum! Way to throw me off."
Raini laughed, "I saw that coming."
"Not helping!" Laura threw her hands up.
The group of friends laughed some more as Ross came on to the stage. Since the theatre was filling up and pretty quickly, the cheers in the crowd was deafening as he walked up to the edge to talk to his friends.
He messed up his hair a bit and then smiled. Laura felt her heart melt.
"Ready for this guys?" He asked and then the cheers were deafening again. He looked down, realizing he had a mic attached to his shirt. He covered it, "well, that's embarrassing."
"Sure is, Rozy." Laura shouted at him so he could hear her.
He gave her a look and she giggled, covering her face with her hands. He got up then and walked backstage as Ryland came on to do his DJ thing which Laura, Maia, Calum and Raini all clapped and cheered for like crazy.
After about forty five minutes, the band came on, and Laura noticed Ross was wearing a leather jacket.
Fuck, she thought.
Calum leaned in to speak to Laura, "stop eye fucking him, you'll get him all to yourself later, promise, Laura."
Laura's cheeks turned pink again and she playfully shoved him. She should've expected Calum to make jokes like that since Ross warned her he was going to around the time they moved in together.
Since Laura knew all the words to their songs, she sang along with each and every one of them. When they took a break to talk for a minute, Ross went up to the mic.
"Hey guys, how are you? Having fun tonight?" The crowd went crazy. "Awesome, well, thanks for coming out! We have a lot of amazing people in the crowd tonight, you guys, friends, family and maybe even…" He trailed off, looking at Rocky pointedly.
"Maybe even a girlfriend? Maybe?" Rocky finished and Ross' mouth dropped open, not expecting that. The crowd went crazy. "Yeah, well, we're going to play the next song, ready guys?"
"Uh yeah…" Ross blinked, "I'm ready, I think…" He trailed off and then suddenly forgot the words. "Uh, what song are we doing again?"
Laura laughed as he looked really clueless.
"Ross has the memory of a squirrel, we're doing… okay, here let me ask the crowd a question and hopefully it'll help your memory." Riker looked at the audience, "Hey! You guys, we're not going home tonight!" The crowd went crazy and then Ross remembered.
"Righttt, that's it." He said and then playfully stuck his tongue out. Laura and Maia burst into laughter.
They played the song, Laura noticing that Ross only sang it when he had to, as his head was down. He looked like he was concentrating on something, but made a mental note to ask him about it later.
After that, it was Laura's favorite, Here Comes Forever. Before the song began though, Ross decided to say something.
"Okay, so you guys know that a certain very close friend of mine, loves this song. She's out there in the crowd tonight and I just wanted to dedicate it to her. So, this is for you, Ariana Grande."
Laura laughed.
"Ariana Grande?" Maia looked confused, "since when are they friends?"
Laura laughed harder. "He's talking about me… it's an inside joke." Maia nodded and then they started to play the song. At the end, Ross, who had been looking in the crowd for her with his eyes throughout the whole song, found her, and locked eyes with her, then he pointed right at her.
"Here comes forever, girl." He sang and then ended the song. "And that was for Anna, thank you!"
Laura couldn't stop laughing as Ross was acting a little more sillier than he usually did.
After a few more songs, the concert ended. As everyone started to leave, Laura was pulled against someone, their arms wrapped around her before she could move from her seat. She looked up to see her sweaty rockstar boyfriend.
She wrinkled her nose, "I think you need a shower."
"I think you need to follow me," He winked at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Don't you have to, I don't know, help put everything away and do a meet and greet?"
"Five minutes," He pouted.
"Five minutes?" He nodded and she gave in. "Fineeee."
He laughed and then took her hand. Raini, Calum and Maia followed them backstage, but Ross and Laura went into his dressing room. He happened to be sharing with Rocky that night, but luckily Rocky was nowhere to be found. He closed the door and then gently pushed Laura against it, his hand trapping her on her left side, he looked at her outfit.
"That's a really nice outfit," He said.
"Yeah, I thought so." Laura trailed her hands up Ross' chest until her arms locked around his neck. "I picked it out, just for you." She bit her lip and Ross closed his eyes, breathing heavily, but she wasn't sure if it was from her outfit or the concert or maybe both.
"I've come to a conclusion," Ross began, his eyes locking with hers. "We're up to no good."
"What do you mean?"
He leaned in and gave her a soft kiss. But he pulled back. "We dress and act certain ways to get the other's attention, we're attention… seekers."
"Only if we seek attention from each other, then yeah… I guess I can agree with that." Laura blinked, "Wait, that made no sense."
Ross just kissed her in response, pressing his lips against hers harder as she opened her mouth and he kissed her deeper, his tongue sliding against hers. She put her hands in his hair and pulled him down closer to her, kissing him passionately as his hands went to her waist and pulled her close enough that they could barely fit a piece of paper between their chests.
After a few more seconds, they breathlessly broke the kiss, panting as they stared at each other.
"I have to go do meet and greet," Ross said, forcing himself to back away from her.
Laura nodded, "yeah… you should um, you should go do that."
"See you at home in a couple hours?"
She nodded and kissed him softly. "I'll be there waiting."
With that he pushed himself off of her and tried to open the door. But Laura stopped him with her hand on the handle, he just raised an eyebrow in question.
She cupped his face in her hands and pulled him closer. "Maybe they can wait a few more minutes," And then before he could respond, she pressed her lips against his again.
"You dirty girl!" Raini teased Laura as they walked from the venue to the parking lot where all their cars were parked. "You kept Ross in his dressing room for at least another twenty minutes."
"Yeah, if it weren't for Rocky, you probably would've had sex in there or something," Calum added.
"You and your sex jokes," Laura muttered, "but yeah. Thank god, he was for once useful in the cockblocking this time."
Raini raised an eyebrow, "have you ever…"
"Had sex in his dressing room?" Laura asked and Raini nodded. "I'm not answering that."
"So that's a yes," Maia said and Laura glared at her.
"That's a 'I'm not answering that question.'" She shot back.
"As in you have!" Raini accused and Laura's cheeks turned pink. "Oh my god! So dirty."
"Scandalous even," Maia laughed.
"You guys are hilarious," Laura muttered.
"How many times?" Raini demanded.
"Again, I'd rather not tell you that." She said, but in her mind, she couldn't even count it, it had been so many times.
"Alright, alright, let's hold off on the interrogation of Ross and Laura's sex life, I mean, imagine how awkward this must be." Maia said as they reached her car.
"Yeah, I don't make jokes or talk about your sex life, Calum," Laura pointed out and Raini's face lit up as she told Calum he just got burned.
Calum waved that off, "I deal with this with Ross, you, Laura are so not a big deal."
"I hate my life." Laura muttered and everyone laughed. "Just kidding, anyway, I've got to get home, but I'll see you two shit heads tomorrow."
"Yeah, you will." Calum winked at her and Laura's face went hot. "You and your totally dreamy hot rockstar boyfriend."
"Yeah yeah." Laura muttered as she hugged Raini and punched Calum's shoulder. "Bye."
"Bye." They both said, waving as they walked away from the car.
"You've got some pretty interesting costars." Maia commented as she unlocked the door.
"Yeah, tell me about it." Laura laughed, "I love them though."
Maia smiled. "So, what have you got planned tonight?"
"I don't know, just some… special Ross time," Laura wiggled her eyebrows suggestively and Maia laughed harder.
"And everyone thinks you're so innocent."
Laura looked at herself in the mirror, checking to see if the bump was noticeable before putting the robe on and seeing that it wasn't. She tied the robe and then heard the door open and Ross yell out he was home.
"Coming!" She yelled back and then turned away from the mirror. Opening the door, she saw Ross walking towards her. She smiled, her heartbeating fast as he put his hands on her waist and kissed her. She kissed him back, pulling him closer, when she heard the door open and broke away from him, looking over his shoulder, in disbelief.
Ross turned around, "oh yeah, my brothers wanted to come over to play some video games, I hope that's okay."
"I…" Laura stepped away from him, her cheeks pink as Rocky, Riker and Ryland came into the room. "Okay." She didn't really know what to say.
Rydel and Ratliff came in after them and sat down on the couch, with Rydel on Ratliff's lap. Without a word, Laura turned around and walked back into her and Ross' room, the door closing behind her.
"Uh, she seems kinda… pissed off," Rocky commented.
"Yeah, I'll go check on her, you guys know what to do, just… I'll be right back." Ross left them to do their own thing while he went to check on Laura. He gently knocked on the door and then opened it to see Laura was sitting on the edge of the bed, her chin resting on her knees as she just stared at the ground. "Laura? Are you okay?"
"Yeah," She lifted her head, "I'm fine, why?"
Ross sighed, knowing better, "because I can see you're not fine." He sat down next to her. "What's wrong?"
"I…don't know." Laura confessed, "I was just overwhelmed and didn't expect them to come, I'm sorry. I just…I know this might sound selfish, but I wanted some alone time with you and… you know, I don't want to pull you away from your brothers, Ratliff and Rydel, so I didn't want to say anything."
He gave her an adorable look and Laura had to bite her lip to keep from squealing like a little girl. "You wanted some alone time?"
"Yeah, I mean, I know we live together and I see you all the time, but I felt like I haven't seen you all day except for this morning and at work and I was looking forward to it just being me and you."
"I understand that, if you want, I could kick them out and tell them to come over another time."
Laura shook her head, standing up, she stood in front of him, cupping his face in her hands, "no, no absolutely not. I cant ask you to do that."
He placed his hands on her waist, bunching up the silky material. "You just wanted me to yourself?" He asked a moment later.
"Is that really all you processed in the last few minutes of this conversation?"
Ross shook his head his hands trailing up her sides. "Don't you hate when I'm all sweaty though?"
"Ross!" Laura whined.
He didn't stop, going to her waist, he untied the belt letting it open to reveal her body to him. "I love you, Laura." He whispered and then stood up to kiss her. She kissed him back, sweetly, before breaking it.
"I love you too, Ross, and that's why I am postponing our special time to let you spend it with your buddies. Go, I'll be out in a minute."
"But all I'm going to think about is…" He gestured to her body. "Can't I kick them out?" He whined and she laughed shaking her head.
"You can't. Sorry." She told him and then suddenly she jumped on him, tackling him onto the bed, where she straddled his waist her forehead against his. She giggled and he hugged her. "I'm not going anywhere, silly."
"Then why did you just tackle me onto the bed?"
She shrugged, "it was a fun idea."
"I can't argue with that logic."
She rolled her eyes.
He pouted, "one more kiss?"
She sighed, "oh fineeee." She laughed and then kissed him. He kissed her back, deepening it, when they both heard a loud knock on the door.
"Hey! You two better not be doing the nasty!" Rocky yelled through the door. "Ross, get your ass out here!"
"Rocky!" They both groaned as Ross sat up Laura falling down beside him. He had to blink his eyes to tear them away from her exposed body.
Ross sighed, "this isn't over."
She bit her lip, "never said it was."
"Love you, Lorax."
"Love you too, Superstar."
And with that, Ross got off the bed to open the door.
"I'll be out soon, don't you worry." Laura smiled at him and he nodded.
He opened the door and then closed it. Laura lay on the bed for a few moments, before she forced herself to get up and did, going to her dresser, she pulled out some of Ross' old sweatpants and his hoodies. She put them on and then fixed her hair before walking out of the bedroom and into the living room where she soon found Rocky and smacked him upside the head.
"Ow! Woman! What the—"
She smiled sweetly at him, "you deserve that." She looked around the living room, "hey were did Rydel and Ratliff go?"
Rocky waved off her concern, "something about wanting to spend some time together, they said they'll talk to you tomorrow or something."
"So… in other words, they left to go have sex?" Laura asked rather bluntly.
Ross' mouth dropped open and his eyes widened in horror. "Don't even—"
Laura laughed, "I'm joking! If anything they're probably making out."
"Or having sex," Rocky added, then he realized what he said and his eyes widened. "Oh shit, no. Hell no. I can't have two sex obsessed siblings!"
"Can we keep him?" Laura asked Ross, "he's like an adorable pet or something."
"No," Ross answered, grumbling. "He'll cockblock us every five seconds."
Ryland laughed, "worse than when you lived with mom or now?"
"Worse."
Riker agreed. "Can't argue with you there." He wasn't paying attention and scewed up the game. "Dammit, Ryland!"
Laura leaned in to speak to Ross, "I don't know how to tell you this, but… your brothers are all weird."
Ross thought for a second and then nodded, leaning in to speak to her, "I know." He said and then they both laughed.
"Hey!" Rocky protested, "I heard that!" They only laughed harder.
Laura wasn't feeling well, so she said goodnight to the crazy Lynch boys and was now lying in bed, her eyes closed as she tried to sleep, but found it was hard as usually Ross was with her and with him lying next to her, she found going to sleep easier than when he wasn't.
After an hour, he opened the door and quietly went inside the room. After he did what he needed to do, he got into bed next to her.
"I know you're awake." He said.
"Damn you." Laura sighed, as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. "How did you know?"
"I'm just that good and… I saw you staring at me." He said. "I didn't shower yet, sorry, but I'm too tired."
"It's okay." She cuddled closer to him and then leaned in giving him a soft kiss. "Goodnight, I love you."
"I love you too," He whispered and then closed his eyes. He tightened his hold on her and then together, they both fell into a peaceful sleep.
Spoiler for the next chapter. Someone very observant finds out Ross and Laura's secret. If you can guess who it is then you get a cookie :] Thanks guys! Hope you enjoyed it! Cheers.
