Summary:
Seven years later and things have changed for everyone. R5 is no more. No-one is in the music/acting business any more. No-one has heard anything from Ross. Everyone's lives seem picture perfect...

Chapter 1:
7 years later-
It's been seven years since anyone's heard anything from Ross. Not even one letter asking how Amelia is. For what anyone knows, he could be dead. Once everyone else found out the news, from Riker as he stayed up all night, well saying they were devastated was the understatement of the century. Eventually, they did move on with their lives. As in, completely moved on in their lives… they couldn't do R5 anymore without their lead singer, and it wouldn't feel right replacing him or carrying on being a 4 piece band. So, they stopped, though, everyone at Hollywood records said there will always be a place for them if they ever decide to go back into the music business again. As for Amelia, well, she's not quite old enough to understand everything. Though, one day, when she was routing through the old tour photo's they, thought were, kept away, she found a photo of Ross and Paige. Even though you couldn't tell Paige was pregnant in the photo, unless you knew, well something just clicked inside Amelia. That day she found out that, who she was lead to believe who her parents were, which were Riker & Laura as she looked the most like them two than anyone else, weren't her parents. So, everyone told her the story of Ross and Paige, well of course leaving out the part of Paige's death of course. She wasn't old enough to know that, yet.
Riker and Laura's relationship picked up again, they got married after 5 years of being together. Well it made sense, because 6 months after the wedding, Laura gave birth to a baby boy, who they both loved dearly, and who Amelia classed as her brother, even if they weren't biologically related. They're growing up with each other, and they're more like brother and sister than cousins.
After a year of Ross leaving, Rocky and Ellington finally got together, much to everyone's relief. They could tell being 'just friends' was killing them, so, thanks to Ryland and Riker, setting them up on a blind date, of a fashion, they got together. Even Rydel was happy for them that they finally got together. But, at times, it was awkward them having, moments, and Rydel walking in on them. So they moved… to the other side of the country. But they still keep in touch with everyone else, so it's not like they don't speak to their families anymore.
As for Luke and Rydel; they're still going strong too. They eventually moved into their own house, and have a 4 year old daughter of their own. Yeah, Riker, being the big brother he is, wasn't too happy about the news of Rydel's pregnancy, or the fact that she and Luke were going to be moving in together. But she was truly happy for the first time since she and Ellington ended, and that's what made Riker happy. Seeing her happy, after everything. She still managed to fall in love again. After all, you can't help who you fall for. But the question on everyone's mind, when is Luke going to pop the question?
Luke's POV-
Seven whole year's I've been with Rydel, and I can honestly say that they're the best seven years of my life. I know this might sound cheesy but honestly, she's my everything, and with baby number 2 hopefully on the way, as she is currently taking a pregnancy test, I think it's time I did something that's been a long time coming, but I just don't know how too. So, I turned to my 3 best friends, assuming they answer their Skype call.
"Luke!" Their voices suddenly called through my laptop. It's probably like 2am over there, but they always answer. It's like they never sleep.
"Hey guys!" I replied, with a smile on my face. Back when I lived in Australia, I pretty much always hung out with them, until I moved here, but I don't regret it because I met the love of my life.
"So, what's up with the surprise Skype call, at 1 in the morning? Not that we're not happy to hear from you, but it's still late at night and I was about to go to bed" Calum said joking slightly at that last part. Causing me to laugh slightly.
"Oh I miss you all so much. But anyway, the reason that I'm calling is that I want you to help me with something. Serious." I replied.
"Well sure, what is it?" Ashton asked, as Rydel walked in from the bathroom.
"Hang on, I'll ask you in a minute." I started, before getting cut off from Rydel.
"No, don't stop on my account." She said, as she sat next to him. "I'm guessing these are your friends from Australia that I've never had the chance to speak too yet." Rydel then added as Luke nodded.
"Yeah, they are. Rydel, this is Calum Hood, Michael Clifford and Ashton Irwin. You 3, this is my gorgeous girlfriend, Rydel." I introduced them. Every time I get to video call them, Rydel's either at work or with Ruby, our daughter. So it's nice for them to finally at least talk to each other.
"Hey." The 3 friends chorused.
"Hi." Rydel smiled slightly and waved as she replied.
"Anyway, babe, what did the test come out as?" I asked her, as I put my arm around her.
"Well… it's positive. We're having another baby!" Rydel said excitedly and I just pulled her into a tight hug.
"Another baby?! That's great news!" I exclaimed as I pulled away before kissing her, forgetting about the video call.
"Yeah, congrats guys! But PDA! We're still here you know." Michael suddenly said causing us both to pull away, blushing.
"Sorry guys." I apologised as I looked back at the computer.
"No it's cool. You guys were celebrating. I expect you're going to get more later?" Ashton asked, with a wink causing Rydel to blush more. I just simply rolled my eyes at his comment. That's Ashton for you, a great friend, but his mind can go into the gutter in 0.1 seconds.
"Well anyway, I'm going to get Ruby ready for bed." Rydel suddenly said as she stood up.
"No. Go and take a nice hot bubble bath, I'll do that. I'll just finish talking to the boy's and I'll be up there, getting her ready for bed. I'll make dinner too if you want?" I asked her.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to cut your calls short with your friends because of me. I know it's hard for you with living on the other side of the world from them and the time difference, but please, spend as much time as you want." Rydel explained as I chuckled softly. She's so sweet and caring; two of the many reasons why I love her.
"I'm sure. Go and have a nice hot bubble bath. I'll put Ruby to bed and make us a nice dinner, any suggestions?" I insisted, but I could tell she was slightly still unsure.
"Rydel, just do it." Michael said, "And besides, he's great in the kitchen, trust us on that." He then added, causing both Ashton and Calum to nod.
"But I'd hate to be the reason that you guys have to cut your video calls short…" Rydel then trailed off before I cut her off by kissing her gently.
"Babe, I insist. But seriously, what do you want for dinner?" I asked her as she stood up.
"Um Rydel, it was nice to finally talk to you, but uh… please get your ass away from the camera…" Calum said causing her to blush again.
"Ah… Sorry." She said, after moving out the way. "Can we just get a Chinese? And watch movies." Rydel then added, and I nodded.
"Sure, what would you like?" I asked her, picking up the menu.
"Um… Chicken and sweetcorn soup, and sweet and sour pork with noodles." Rydel answered.
"Sure, I'll order it once I've put Ruby into bed." I replied and she smiled before leaning down to kiss my cheek again.
"Ass! Again!" All three of the guys chanted again causing both of us to roll my eyes.
"Just go and have your bath." I said, chuckling slightly before she left.
"Doesn't she trust you in the kitchen…? Or our word when Michael said he said you're great in the kitchen?" Ashton asked me.
"No, I've cooked things here and there. It's not because she doesn't trust me in the kitchen, I just think she's craving Chinese." I replied, shrugging my shoulders. "But anyway, that's not what I wanted to talk to you guys about." I then added.
"What's bigger than your girlfriend announcing she's pregnant to you, whilst you're on Skype with your 3 best friends?" Michael asked.
"Uh… asking said pregnant girlfriend to marry me…" I trailed off.
"YOU'RE GOING TO ASK HER TO MARRY YOU?!" Calum exclaimed, yelling as he did.
"I think I've just gone deaf…" Michael said, shrugging.
"Sorry… but that's huge." Calum apologised.
"Are you ready for marriage? Are you both ready for marriage?" Ashton asked me.
"Ash, they've been together for seven years and she's pregnant with their second child. I think he's ready to propose to her, and between the both of them, I'm pretty damn sure they're both ready to get married." Michael replied to Ashton.
"I was only asking, Jesus. I won't bother next time." Ashton then said, slouching in his chair.
"Well none of us are in a relationship as serious as Luke's, so 'next time' might be a long time away." Calum then said.
"Guys, please. Yes, I'm going to ask Rydel to marry me, but I don't know how I'm going to ask her to marry me." I told them all, stopping an argument that I was sure was about to start.
"You get down on one knee and ask her to marry you. It can't be that hard." Ashton then said.
"Wow. I feel sorry for the person you're going to end up with." I replied, and Michael and Calum nodded in agreement. "I know how to do that part, but I want to make it as romantic as possible and that's where you guys come in." I then added.
"Come again?" Michael asked.
"Can you guys please come here and help me plan it. I'm useless at this sort of thing. I'll pay for your tickets if you guys want. But please just help me." I told them.
"Luke… It's a lot to ask for. But, we also know you're useless when it comes to planning things romantically, most of the time anyway." Calum answered.
"And your our friend. So, if you really need our help, we'll be there for you." Ashton then said.
"So, does that mean you'll come?" I asked all three of them.
"Absolutely." They said at the same time and I smiled wide. "And don't worry about paying for our tickets to there; you've got to keep your money for the new born." Michael said.
"Thanks you guys. It means the world too me. But I've got to go and put Ruby in bed, so I'll talk to you shortly. Just let me know when you're coming." I told them and they waved by before I ended the call. I can't believe I'm really doing this soon. It just feels more real with the second baby coming as well, the timing couldn't be more perfect.
Ashton's POV-
"I can't believe he's going to ask Rydel to marry him." I said, once the video chat ended. "I mean, I didn't think he was that serious about their relationship." I then added, shrugging my shoulders.
"Again… she's about to have their second baby." Michael said as the door opened to reveal Ross, with yet another girl.
"So my bedroom is…" Ross started before stopping. "Oh. Uh, I didn't think you guys were still up..." He then trailed off.
"You know… it's not worth it. I'll just leave." The girl said before leaving.
"Ross. We need to talk about this." Calum started, "You've been here for a year, and 9 times out of 10 you bring a new girl back in the middle of the night, yeah, we know about it. You've got to snap out of it." He then added.
"So, we're going to America to visit our friend, and you're coming with us. We're going to find your family and hopefully, just hopefully, they're going to knock some sense into you, because we give up. I'm surprised you're not a walking STD with the amount of girls you've slept with and ditched the next day." Michael said, causing Ross' face to drop.
"I'm not going back to America, I can't." Ross replied, after sitting there in silence for maybe a minute.
"You're going Ross, even if we have to force you onto that plane to get you there."
