Rocky woke up and looked at Riker laying beside him. "I love you" Rocky whispered and kissed Riker's temple before he went downstairs. Rocky got out the stuff to make Riker's favorite breakfast, waffles. "Hey are you making waffles for breakfast?" Ross asked "not for you" Rocky smirked "what? you can't just make waffles for yourself" Ross argued "well it's not just for me it's for Riker too because it's his favorite breakfast" Rocky smiled then put two waffles on a plate. He spread nutelle on top, put some syrup, whip cream and topped it with powdered sugar. He added some fresh fruit on the side then made one for himself just like it. He brewed some coffee then set it on a tray and carried it upstairs to Riker.
Rocky set the tray on the dresser then walked over to Riker. "hey babe, wake up" Rocky smiled then kissed him. "hmm, why?" Riker groaned "Sit up. I made you breakfast" Rocky smiled so Riker sat up. Rocky handed him the plate along with the cup of coffee. "wow, you did all this?" Riker smiled "just for you" Rocky smiled and sat next to him. "this is amazing, why though?" Riker asked "because I love you and I felt like doing something nice for my husband" Rocky replied while Riker took a bite of the waffle. "oh my god this is the best waffle ever" Riker smiled "thanks" Rocky smiled and the two began eating.
After they got dressed they they went out to their swimming hole. Riker smiled and dove in. Rocky followed and the two smiled. "hey babe?" Riker asked holding on to him in the water. "what's up?" Rocky smiled "can we adopt again? like try again. I'm not in the hospital so it'll be easier" Riker asked "if you want to but we should change the room to fit the new child" Rocky smiled "ok, I want to go with you to choose" Riker smiled "how about we go get dressed, go to the orphanage and see who we want to adopt, then we can go to the store, set up a room then the next day we can take the child home" Rocky explained "ok" Riker smiled and they swam to the shore.
Rocky parked in front of the orphanage and smiled at Riker. "let's go" Riker smiled getting out of the car. They walked inside. "hello how may I help you?" A lady asked "we are looking to adopt" Riker smiled "ok, I'll call the kids down for you to meet" The lady smiled then blew a loud whistle. A bunch of kids ran into the room. "Riker looked around and saw a girl with black and blue hair, a beanie, punk style clothes and combat boots on. He walked over and looked at her. "hey, what's your name?" Riker asked "Skarlet" The girl replied "how old are you?" Riker asked "eleven" Skarlet replied "well, how would you like to be adopted?" Riker smiled so Skarlet nodded. "Rocky" Riker smiled so he walked over. "this is Skarlet, we are going to adopt her" Riker smiled "ok, well, we need to clear out and redo a room for you so can we come get you tomorrow?" Rocky asked "as long as I'm getting adopted" Skarlet smiled "ok, well why don't you go write down a bunch of stuff you like. Bands, colors, instruments, anything while we go fill out some papers" Riker smiled so Skarlet walked off.
Skarlet walked back to the front hall way and saw Riker. "here's the list. And I never got your names" Skarlet said handing Riker a piece of paper. "My name is Riker and this is my husband Rocky" Riker smiled "awesome, well I hope to see you tomorrow" Skarlet smiled "you will, we won't disappoint you" Rocky told her. Riker hugged her then the two boys left.
They began driving to the store when Rocky spoke "what stuff does Skarlet like?" Riker unfolded the paper and started reading it out loud "punk rock, the color black, playing bass, playing guitar, playing piano, singing, dancing and hanging out with her friends" Rocky thought about it and went to the mall.
They got paint, new bedding, some decorations and a brand new guitar. They took it all home and went upstairs. Riker sighed and started putting Reyna's stuff in box. He sat on the floor and cried. Rocky sat next to him and sighed "I miss her two" Riker leaned on Rocky and sniffled "well, we got her a sister I guess. She may be gone but I still love her" Rocky stood up then helped Riker up. They finished setting up the room around eleven at night. They went into their room and fell asleep immediately.
The two boys got to the orphanage around noon and smiled when they saw Skarlet. "hey are you ready to go?" Riker asked "yeah" Skarlet sighed "ok, well do you have any stuff we need to take home with us?" Rocky asked "yeah it's just around the corner" Skarlet told them so they walked around and saw three boxes, three guitars and a piano sitting there. "is this all yours?" Riker asked "yeah" Skarlet smiled "ok well let's get it in the car" Rocky smiled and they moved all her stuff to the car.
They were on their way home when Rocky decided to stop for ice cream. They sat down with their ice cream then Skarlet looked at her phone. "oh um, do you guys have a garage or a place I can rehearse?" Skarlet asked "yeah, what do need to rehearse for?" Riker asked "well I'm kinda in a band, you don't mind do you?" Skarlet asked "oh of course not, we are also in a band. R5. what's your band's name?" Rocky asked "the outcasts, my friend Jade plays drums, Raven plays keyboard, Iris plays lead guitar and I play Bass. we all sing" Skarlet smiled "why are you called the outcasts?" Riker asked "because that's what we are. nobody really pays attention to us at school and we are different from everyone else" Skarlet explained "that sucks, well you won't be an outcast in our house" Rocky smiled and they went home.
"hey this is the day we usually have rehearsal, so can I invite my band friends over to rehearse?" Skarlet asked "yeah and I can show you how to work all the equipment and set up" Riker smiled showing her to the other room holding her guitars and keyboard. They set up then the doorbell rang. "hey Jade" Skarlet smiled "oh my gosh is this where you live now?" Jade asked "yes and meet my two dads, Riker and Rocky" Skarlet smiled "wow, it's nice to meet you" Jade smiled then the rest of the band showed up.
"ok what song first?" Raven asked "let's start with our first original song, wild girls" Skarlet smiled so they started playing.
Riker listened and smiled, "hey who are those girls?" Ellington asked "the girl playing bass is our daughter, Skarlet" Rocky smiled "and the other girls are her band" Riker added "well they sound amazing" Rydel said "they do, she's amazing. I love her already and we've only known her for about a day.
After about two hours the girls were finished rehearsing. "thank you for letting use your rehearsal space" Skarlet smiled "sweetie you're part of the family so it's yours too if you don't mess anything up or break anything" Rocky told her "thank you" Skarlet smiled and hugged him. "hey come eat dinner" Rydel smiled so everyone went to the kitchen.
"hey who's this?" Ross asked looking at Skarlet. "this is our daughter, Skarlet" Rocky smiled "hello" Skarlet smiled "hey your band sounds amazing by the way" Ellington told her. "thank you, we have been playing together for a little over a year now" Skarlet smiled "oh you have a band, what's your name?" Ross asked "the outcasts" Skarlet told them "cool name" Rydel smiled and they all finished eating dinner. "I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed" Skarlet yawned. "ok, good night, see you in the morning" Riker smiled and Skarlet hugged both her dads before going to bed.
Skarlet laid down in her new bed and smiled. She couldn't believe she actually got adopted, she knew Riker and Rocky from R5 before she got adopted but she didn't tell them fearing they wouldn't adopt me.
