A/N- I bet you're wondering what happened to Maia... Find out here!

Laura's POV

"YOU AND ROSS ARE DATING?!" I run into the living room to see Rocky on his feet.

"Baby, calm down." I say, walking over to him. He continues to scream.

"Rocky, calm it!" Rydel yells suddenly. All is quiet. "Okay. Now, what's going on?"

"Ratliff just told me he's dating Ross!" Rocky says. I look at Ross.

"Whoa, whoa, wait. What happened to Maia?" I ask.

"She cheated on me." Ross explained.

"Oh, I'm so sorry about that!" I say, going to hug him. He hugs back tightly, but when he pulls away, he tells me that he and Ratliff have been dating for a while, they've just kept it a huge secret.

"Hey, let's not deal with this on Charmaine's birthday." My mom says suddenly. We all agree, mainly because we don't have much of a choice.

After we eat the cake, everyone sits down on the couches and the floor, Charmaine on my lap.

"Alright, Ross, you first." I say. He hands me the unicorn paper-wrapped package. There are comments of 'cute' and 'awww!' from Raini, Rydel, Stormie, and my mom. When Charmaine and I open it, I see a doll— talks, makes noises, eats. "Thank you, Ross! Looks like Char loves it already!" I exclaim. I hug my best friend.

Next, Rydel hands over her present, wrapped in a red balloon covered bag. "What a cute dress!" I exclaim. It's purple plaid, with sparkles all over it. "Thanks, Ry!"

Charmaine ends up getting an adorable flowery dress from Stormie (saying 'she'll look just like Ally!'), a Doc McStuffins toy from Riker, a blanket from Ratliff, and a copy of 'I Know a Rhino' from my mom ('hey, is this my copy?' I had asked her when Charmaine opened the package). Finally, Rocky and I have our turn to give Charmaine her gift.

"Well, what did you get her?" Rydel asks.

"We can't exactly give it to her." I say. "But we can bring it out here." Rocky goes outside for a moment, and brings the carrier inside.

"What is it?" Ross asks. Rocky opens the cage, and a little blonde furred puppy runs out. I hear coos of 'awwww!' again and 'so cute!' The dog leaps towards Ross, like she knows him.

"Her name is Daisy, and she's a rescue." I explain. We play with her for a while, until everyone has to leave. I make Ross and Ratliff stay, though.

Once everybody's gone, I cross my arms.

"Now, what's going on with you two?" I ask. They look at each other before answering.

"After Maia and Ross were done, I told him how I've been feeling about him for the past year. Ish." Ratliff explains.

"The past year?!" I ask. "I could've helped, you know."

"I would've asked, but you were busy with Charmaine!" Ratliff says. I glare at him.

"Anyway," Ross says, "we've been dating for a while. And... I love him."

"Awww! That is so sweet!" I gush. "I'm perfectly fine with it, by the way. I was just shocked."

"I bet everyone was." Ross says. Ratliff and I nod.

"Well, we better get going." Ratliff says. They both thank me for the invitation and leave.

"Charmaine's asleep." Rocky tells me. We both flop down on the couch.

"That was a long day." I sigh. Rocky nods, his arm around my waist.

"It's gonna be from now on. Every day will. But we'll be together through it all." He says. I laugh.

"Don't be this deep from now on." I say. "It's not your thing." He then smiles and kisses me.

It's just gonna get busier from now on.

A/N- OKAY! I hope you liked it!
