Screaming fans.
Everywhere.
It gets crazier when you're in another country. Especially when they don't speak or understand English, and you can't tell them to be careful because there are babies present.
…
"Timothy and Eli get hurt! Why couldn't we leave them with our parents!" Elington screamed across the bus over to Rydel.
"Because I don't want to be away from my children! I get forced to go on tour after I give birth to twins. I deserve to have my children with me!" Rydel screamed back.
…
A dad is important in a child's life. Kids should have a father present.
The fighting isn't helping Riker.
Especially since it's the day his daughter was born, and he couldn't be with her because R5 is touring.
…
"Hey, at least you guys have your children with you," Riker says while scrolling through pictures of Adeline on his phone, "While mine is celebrating her second birthday without me there. Her own father!"
"We get it Riker, you're sad. Stop being sad. She'll have more birthdays!" Ross says while laying down in his tour bus bed.
"You don't understand!" Riker, Rydel, and Elington scream over to him.
…
Long distance is hard.
It almost never works.
Almost.
Lucky Rocky.
…
"Okay, I understand why you guys are upset over 'children being hurt' or 'not getting to be there with my daughter on her second birthday', but what about love just starting out? You guys found your true love. I still need to marry mine. I should be with my girl." Rocky says as he peeks his head out of his own bunk.
"I still need to find mine…" Ross says in a surprisingly disappointing tone.
"Okay one, Ross found his true love. He just doesn't know it." Riker says before being interrupted.
"Wait, you all know who my true love is, but I don't? Well who is it?" Ross says as he gets out of his bunk.
"Figure out." All, except Ross, say simultaneously.
"Second, a girl needs her father." Riker says.
"Hey! There are proud single mothers out there." Rydel says while crossing her arms.
…
The hardest things about being on tour as grown-ups.
Your children, and your love life.
Children, you never see them.
Love life, you shouldn't have them.
…
"Guys, I'm 27 years old. My sex life is important!" Ross screams.
"Probably still shouldn't be doing whatever that was with a fan." Riker says with a disgusted look on his face.
"I imagine whatever he was doing was not pretty." Ratliff says as he stood in the corner.
…
The most important thing for R5 to know while on tour is that family comes first.
That's what their mom told them back in the good old days.
…
Everybody was screaming except Rocky. Riker, Ratliff, and Rydel over their children. Ross over his so important sex life. Somebody had to stop it.
"Why don't we just end it?" Rocky asked.
"Oh, believe me. I want this fight to end to." Riker says.
"No. I mean officially end it. End R5." Rocky says quietly.
The whole bus froze as everything suddenly became silent.
They didn't imagine it ending. Not like this.
"Why would we do that?" Rydel asked. Placing Timothy down in a car seat.
"We obviously don't want to be here. Riker wants to be with Adeline. Rydel and Elington want to be at home with newborns. I want to spend more time with my girlfriend in hopes of her being my future wife. Ross wants to, well, Ross wants to have sex more." Rocky says as he walks over to them.
They all stayed silent. They stayed silent for an hour before finally discussing their situation.
…
Riker opens the door and walks into his house. Seeing Adeline and Savannah in the living room.
"Riker!" Savannah says shocked.
"Daddy!" Adeline says as she runs over to Riker.
Riker bites his lip. He looks over to Savannah.
"You're going to be shocked when I tell you this." Riker says.
Well that's chapter two. Is all of this a little too shocking? Tell me what you think. Chapter three coming soon!
