I roll over on my side and see my old alarm clock with its bright lights showing the time. I yawn and stretch out. I look over to Laura and smile at how she is sleeping. One hand on her stomach and hair falling in her face, I love the sight of waking up to this. I reach over and grab my phone and turn off the shutter and flash and snap a few pictures before she starts to stir. I smile as I place my phone back on the table beside the bed.

I watch her eyes open and take time to adjust before she looks over at me with a sleepy smile. "When did you get up?" I smile and wrap an around her pulling her into me, "Just a few mintues ago." She stretches out and looks at me, "Why didn't you wake me?" I shrug, "I like to watch you sleep." She slaps my shoulder with a yawn before smiling at me, "You're so weird." I laugh and shake my head as I climb over her and smile down at her. "Nah, you are just too cute." She giggles and I bend down and capture her lips in a kiss which she gladly returned. I hear my door being opened and then laughter, "Oh Rossy, can't that wait?" I look over and see Riker and Rydel leaning in my doorway smiling to the point of laughing. "Yeah, I mean come on Rossy, no one wants to hear that." Riker laughs, "Or see this." I throw my pillow at them and Rydel laughs and she pulls my door up. A second laughter I hear a bang and Rydel yelling through the door, "Hurry up and do whatever you are going to do. We have things to do." Before a louder bang is placed on the door. I look down at Laura and she starts laughing hysterically. I shake my head and roll off her, "So not funny." She nods as she keeps laughing, "Yeah it was." I shake my head as I walk into the bathroom and shower before putting my clothes back on and walking out. She looks up at me from the bed and laughs as she walks past me and I hear the shower start up. I shake my head and poke my head in the door, "You could of just joined in." I hear laughter then, "Nah." I shake my head smiling as I walk downstairs.

Rydel looks up from the table and Riker laughs, "That was quick." I grab the apple and throw it at him, "Nothing happened idiot. I got a shower now she is in the shower." He smirks and looks at Rydel, "Yeah, sure." I sit down and make myself a bowl of cereal that I eat while I wait on Laura to come down.

I hear feet and look behind me to see Laura come down and smile, "Rydel, hope you don't mind." Rydel shakes her head, "Of course not babe." I laugh and take my last bite of my cereal before I feel a slap on my head. I turn to Rydel and she smirks. I shake my head and take my bowl to the sink and place it in there as I lean against the counter. "So what was the rush?" I hear more feet and see Ratliff and Ryland come through the door. They look at Rydel and shake their heads as they sit down, "What did she do to you two?" Ratliff looks up, "Riker and her pushed me off the couch." Ryland looks at me, "I got water thrown on me." I laugh and look at the two of them who just smile innocently. I hear more feet and see Rocky come in and look at Laura before looking down at the ground and walking to the fridge.

I look at the two of them and let it go for now. I will figure out what happened but later. I lean back and watch Rocky avoiding Laura. "Ross, did you hear me?" I turn to Rydel and shake my head, "Sorry." She sighs, "We are going to the beach and just relaxing and hanging out. Then we are all going to perform at this place and then we are all going to come back here and relax and watch some movies." I nod, "Sounds great. Laura and I just have to stop by the house before we come back here." Rydel nods and takes Laura upstairs to get ready for the beach. I look at Riker, "Can I borrow a pair of trunks?" He nods and goes upstairs. A few minutes later he comes down and throws a pair of trunks at me. I grab them and go upstairs to change.

I come down and see Laura and Rydel talking and laughing. I walk over and throw my arm over her shoulder and kiss her head. "What you two talking about?" Rydel looks at me and smiles, "About when I am going to be getting a niece?" I literally cough on air making Rydel laugh. "I'm kidding but seriously," She raises her voice, "I want a niece or nephew." Everyone looks at her and coughs. She shakes her head, "It will happen one day." I watch Laura laugh, "Not anytime soon Delly." She sighs, "I know. No wedding anytime soon and no little niece to play with anytime soon. Man, you two are no fun." I shake my head and laugh as I walk away with her as she goes to bug Riker about being older and wanting a niece to play with.

I start walking to the kitchen to get something to drink when I see Rocky and Laura. "I am sorry about this morning." I watch her shrug, "Its okay. Really Rocky, it is fine." I turn the corner, "What happened this morning?" Rocky jumps back and Laura shrugs, "Nothing. I was walking to Rydel's room and ran into Rocky in my towel. When he went to help me up my towel drop a little bit. He saw nothing and he is making a big deal out of it." I look at Rocky and grab his shoulder, "Its okay man, Even if you did see something. It's all good. It was an accident and its okay." He looks at Laura who nods and he places a hand to his chest in relief, "Thank you both." I laugh and push him, "Chill, no problem." He laughs and walks into the living room where I hear Rydel yell, "Let's go love birds. I want to tan." I laugh and grab Laura's hand and don't feel her ring. I look down and don't see it. I look up at her and she shrugs, "In your room. I didn't want to chance losing it." I nod and kiss her head, "Good thinking." I walk with her out to the living room.

Rydel and Ratliff are coming with Laura and I in my car. Riker, Rocky and Ryland are going in Riker's car. I back out and stomp on the gas and head to the beach with Riker behind me. I feel Laura grab my hand and look at me, "Slow down." I look at the speed odometer and sigh, "I am barely going forty." I watch her nod, "Yeah speed is twenty." I sigh and drop it down to thirty. I squeeze her hand and she smiles as I drive to the beach. I pull into the lot and park the car. I get out and look around and a few minutes later Riker pulls in and parks next to me. "What were you doing Ross? Were you trying to race or something?" I laugh and shake my head, "No. You know how I drive." He nods, "That's why I didn't want to ride with you." I wave him off with a smirk and watch as we all gather up and head down to the beach to have fun.

I am relaxing in the sun with my sunglasses on as I watch Laura and Rydel reading magazines and soaking up the sun. Riker pulled out the surfboards and he was joined by Ryland and Rocky. Ratliff is sitting over near Laura and Rydel playing on his phone.

A few minutes later I feel movement and I look over and see Laura coming towards me. I smile and she sits down next to me and smiles. "What you doing?" I shrug, "Just enjoying the sun and everything." She laughs and looks out where Riker is surfing. "I have always wanted to learn how to do that." I look over to my board and smile, "Come on." I stand up and put my hand out and watch as she smiles at me and slowly places her hand in mine. I pull her up and grab my board as we walk down the beach and into the water. I place the board in the water and watch as she looks around. I laugh and pull her hands over and place them on the board. She shakes her head, "Maybe another time." I smile and shake my head, "You can do this baby. I am going to teach you how." She looks down at the board and nods with a smile as I start to teach her how to surf.

Two hours later and Laura has picked up surfing and is having fun. She has been surfing for about an hour now. Riker, Ryland and Rocky came over and was commenting on how well she was doing. Ratliff and Rydel decided to surf as well about half hour ago.

Riker comes over and everyone follows. "Are you two ready to go?" I nod and watch Laura nod, "Yeah, you guys need to be getting ready anyway." We all grab our boards and start back to the beach. We pack up all of our stuff and take it to the cars. Once the cars are loaded Riker looks at me, "Get dressed quickly and come to the house." I nod and Rydel and Ratliff get in the back as Laura and I get in the front. I take off and start driving towards mine and Laura's apartment.

I park the car and walk into the building before starting up to our apartment. Laura unlocks the door and takes off to the shower. I smile, "Make yourselves at home." I take off to the bedroom and start to bag a few bags for Laura and I. Laura comes in and smiles, "Its nice hanging out with your family." I smile and nod, "I missed them." She nods and starts and dress. "I don't why we never invite them over. I love them like they are my own family." I shrug, "I guess I never thought about it." I look at the bags and smile, "Can you finish the bags?" She nods and I take off to get a shower quickly.

Within a few minutes I am showered and changing into a pair of jeans with rips in the knees. I throw on a white t-shirt and a black leather jacket. I slip on converse and grabs the bags on the bed and walk out to the living room to only see Ratliff on the couch petting Fluffy. "Where is Rydel?" He points behind me, "Showering." I shake my head and sit down next to him, "Would have been nice to know." He laughs and continues to pet the cat. "Yeah out of nowhere she sighed and said, 'I am showering, Riker can wait.' Before she got up and went that way." I shake my head and turn on the television.

I hear a door open and see Laura and Rydel walk down the hallway laughing. My phone starts to ring and I pick it up, "Hello?" I hear a sigh, "Where are you?" I look at the girls, "Laura and I's place still. Rydel decided to shower." I hear a loud sigh, "Hurry up." The phone goes dead and I look at the girls, "We need to go." They nod and Ratliff and I grab the bags and walk out of the apartment and down to the car.

We all pull up to the club. I park the car and look at Riker, "We are playing here?" He nods and we grab our stuff and head in through the door. We start to set the stage up and I watch as Laura sits down and watches us.

An hour later and we are all ready to go. People are filing in and dancing around. I look at Laura sitting in front of me at the bar. I watch as she walks over to me and smiles, "Are you ready?" I nod and she leans in and kisses me. I kiss her back and pull away when air is needed. "Go rock." She walks back over to the stool and sits down to watch us. I look at my family and they all nod and I take a deep breath and start to play with them as we play our new songs.

~```~~~
The songs went over great. We are hanging out to dance to a few songs before we leave. I spin Laura and she smiles. "You were great tonight." I smile and look at her, "Aren't I always?" She slaps me and laughs, "Don't get your ego to big." I smile and pull her to me. "Never." I lean in and kiss her. Ratliff and Rydel are dancing a little away from us and seem to be having fun. Riker, Ryland and Rocky are all chatting up some girls. I shake my head and look down at Laura, "I am glad you came with us tonight." I watch her smile, "I wouldn't miss it for the world." I feel a tap on my shoulder and see Riker, "Can I cut in?" I laugh and remove my hand which he takes over and they start to dance around. I just start to move by myself and have fun. Tonight was amazing. I had a great day at the beach with Laura and my family. The club was so much fun. Our songs went over great and everyone had nice things to say. I loved losing myself in the music again and feeling the adrenaline from being on stage. Dancing with Laura and just having my family around makes everything the best.

Ryland comes over with Laura and smiles, "You can have her back now." I smile and thank him as I take Laura back and start to dance to the last song before we leave. "Did you have fun?" She nods, "I had a blast today." I look around, "I think everyone had fun but I am happy you did." She smiles, "I had a great day. I love your family and I always have a blast with them. They are like my brothers and sister too." I hear a laugh and start to feel arms cover around us, "Because we are your brothers and sister too." I look up and see my family hugging us, "Guys, let us go. People are staring." Rydel laughs, "Who cares?" She pulls away and pushes me, "I love my crazy brothers and they can just deal with it." I laugh and wrap my arm around her, "I love you too sis." She laughs and hugs me before wrapping her arm around Ratliff. I wrap my arm around Laura and we walk out to the cars where we get in and drive home.

Rydel is in the back humming to something as I drive along the road. Laura grabs my hand and holds it. I turn to her and smile. Within a few minutes I pull into the familiar driveway and get out. I open the trunk and grab the bags and follow Rydel and Ratliff into the house. Riker pulls up as I close the door.

I take the bags upstairs and come back down to see Riker and everyone sitting in the living room watching the commercials waiting for the movie to start. I sit down next to Laura and she leans into me as I wrap an arm around her. Rydel looks at me and smiles, "I ordered a few pizzas and they should be here soon." I nod and lean back waiting for the movie to start.

Someone hits play and I get comfortable as the movie starts off. A few minutes into the movie the doorbell rings and someone pauses it as I get up and pay for the pizza before grabbing the boxes and bringing them inside. I set the pizzas on the coffee table and see paper plates and sodas already there. Everyone gets a plate and puts food on it before grabbing a drink. Everyone sits down and someone hits play making the movie start back up.

Two movies in and I am getting tired. I am trying to make it through the last one but I don't know if I will. I look over and see Laura sleeping on my shoulder. I look around and see Rydel sleeping on Ratliff's shoulder as well. Rocky and Riker are still awake but Ryland is asleep on the floor. I look back at the movie to try to finish it.

I watch the movie for another ten minutes before my eyes literally starts to hurt. I get up and stretch. I lean down and pick Laura up bridal style. She moves some but just curls up to me. Riker looks over at me, "You going to bed?" I nod, "I had so much fun today but I can't make it any longer." They both nod and look at Laura sleeping, "Goodnight." I smile and nod, "Goodnight you two." I walk up the stairs and open my door. I pull the blankets back and lay Laura down softly. I cover her up and walk into the bathroom and get ready for bed. I change for bed and walk out and turn off the lights before getting into bed. I kiss Laura's forehead before laying down and smiling at today.
