=== LATER THAT DAY ===
Riker and Laura were still in the hospital and Ross and Ratliff were back at their new place.
Ross couldn't really understand why Ratliff had brought him to the wrong floor of the apartment building at first, then Ratliff took him to their new apartment and he instantly fell in love with the place. It was amazing. Ross put Charlotte in her new room before he and Ratliff got talking.
It didn't take Ratliff long to tell Ross about Riker and Rocky breaking the door situation. Ross just laughed at it.
He knows it's wrong to laugh about your brother almost plunging to his death out of a window.. But it's a typical Rocky. It was bound to happen at one point or another.
Typical Rocky. That's all Ross could think and laugh about.
Even at random points in the day he kept on bursting out laughing, smirking, grinning or smiling. It was just so funny. He just wished he could of been there to witness this whole thing. It would of made it ten times more funnier than it already was.
Riker and Laura were still at the hospital. Laura was sleeping, she was tired out from today. But who wouldn't? It's tiring stuff giving birth to a child.
One thing is for sure, Laura hopefully doesn't have to go through this for a long long time yet.
Rydel then came through the door "Hey." Rydel said smiling. "Hey." Riker said who was sat in the chair next to the bed. "How are they doing?" Rydel asked. "They're fine," Riker answered "where's Germaine?" "Mom's looking after him." Rydel told him. Riker nodded "Okay."
"Ross and Ratliff are back at theirs," Rydel said "but.. I couldn't quite understand what Ross was laughing at in the background. Something Ratliff told him what happened earlier." Riker let out a small laugh "Yeah.. You'll laugh too when somebody tells you." Riker said. "What happened?" Rydel asked. "Rocky. He broke the door. Then I broke it. Then Rocky fell out of the window," Riker said "but I can explain it so much better." "I can imagine.." Rydel said.
Riker then looked away from Rydel before looking at a sleeping Laura and smiled. She was so cute when she was sleeping.
A few seconds later, Laura's eyes started twitching and she woke up and then sat up. "Your still here?" Laura asked, looking at Rydel and Riker. "Pretty much yeah." Rydel said nodding a little. Laura smiled. "I can't wait to get out of here." Laura said.
"Well," Rydel said breaking the small silence "I'm gonna head back home. Maybe drop by Ross and Ratliff's and see Charlotte." "I'll see you tomorrow then." Laura said smiling. "Yup," Rydel said walking to the door "Bye!" She then left.
Laura then noticed something "Oh my god," Laura said "where's Germaine?!" "It's okay," Riker said standing up "my Mom's looking after him." Laura let out a sigh of relief "Thank god." Laura said. Riker just shook his head before sitting/laying next to Laura on the edge of the bed putting an arm around her.
"Are Ross and Ratliff home yet?" Laura asked. "Yeah, they should be," Riker said "I wonder if Rocky fixed the door." "Probably." Laura said. "But then I give it till tonight before the door falls off its hinges." Riker said. Laura then hit Riker on the chest lightly "Have faith in your brother Riker." "It's Rocky. Rocky Lynch," Riker said "the door is bound to break again." Laura just rolled her eyes at Riker.
She then looked over to Ashleigh in the little baby crib and smiled "We're gonna be a great family, right?" Laura questioned. "Of course we are," Riker said "why wouldn't we?" Laura just shrugged "I don't know. Cause we're still young. I'm 18, almost 19.. Your. 22. almost what? 23?" Riker shrugged "So?" Riker asked "there's been younger people." "True." Laura said nodding. "But.. We're not an actual family yet." Riker said.
Laura looked up at him in confusion. What could he honestly be talking about? Of course they're a family.. They're dating and they have two kids together. What else could there be?
"Laura, I love you." Riker said. "I love you too.." Laura said "is everything okay Riker?" Riker nodded "Everything is fine Laur." Riker said. "Then where's all this coming from?" Laura asked.
Riker took a deep breath. "Laura I love you so much more than any other girl in the whole world that I have ever dated," Riker began "and then when you left to go to Miami, my mind kinda left me and I didn't know what I was doing. But then the whole band thing risen and I was happy again. Then when we got the whole tour around America, we got to Miami and I discretely tried to look for you but you were nowhere to be found where I looked for you. So that kinda put a damper on my mood.. Then I got back from the tour only to find out you were back! And then I was happy again! Then when you told me I had a kid I was a little bit more happier. I was.. Complete. But not fully yet."
Laura smiled and blushed a little "Riker, where are you going with this?" She asked with happiness in her voice. He took a deep breath "Laura," He said going into his trouser pocket and pulling out a small black box. Laura put her hand over her mouth, smiling. Was this actually really happening? "Laura, will you marry ?" He asked opening the box. "No.." Laura said frowning.
Riker's face just dropped. Laura then smiled and began to laugh, which made Riker do the same. She was such a tease sometimes. "I was kidding," Laura said "of course I'll marry you!" She said before bringing his face down and kissing him. Riker then took the ring out of the box before sliding it onto her finger.
Then once again.. They kissed.
