Sorry about the delay with this. I got a little sidetracked, but better late than never! The song Ross "writes" in this is called "Lullaby" by Daughter if you want to check it out. Reviews are always appreciated! Hope you are all having a great weekend.


"Hey." Mark smiled.

"Hey dad." Ross sighed, lost in his phone.

"You okay? You've not been yourself lately."

"It's kinda hard to pretend everything's okay."

"What are you worried about?" Mark asked sitting beside his son.

"Everything. How could I have been so stupid?" Ross looked up at his dad.

"Son we all make mistakes, some bigger than others. No matter what you'll be a great dad."

"No, it's not that." Ross shook his head. "I mean I'm shit scared about this baby.. but I guess I thought it wouldn't be so hard facing it alone."

"Alone? You aren't alone." Mark raised an eyebrow.

"I know, I have you guys and Laura obviously.. but dad.. I fucked up."

"I really don't know where you're going with this."

"I like her, a lot.. and I messed up any chance I have with her."

"Laura?" Mark asked.

"Yeah."

"How exactly did you mess things up? I mean, other than getting her pregnant."

"I was a total jerk to her dad. I mean maybe not now, but back when she told me… I was a dick. I even asked her if she would get rid of it. I mean what kind of person does that?"

"Someone who is scared." Mark shrugged. "You know, when your mom first got pregnant with Riker I was terrified. I was a lot older than you, don't get me wrong, but being older doesn't make you any less scared. I mean I was happy, but deep down I couldn't help think things might be easier without kids. Then Riker came along and everything was fine. I know you and Laura aren't together, and maybe you never will be, but you'll both share something amazing, and that's a bond no one can come between." Mark smiled. "Trust me."

"I guess." Ross sighed.

"You know, if you really really like her then you should just tell her. What's the harm?"

"She's always with that Sterling guy though, and he hates me. I saw them a few days ago and they just looked so happy.. I don't think I could ever be a part of that."

"Who gives a damn about that guy, he can't stop you from seeing her."

"Maybe you're right."

"I'm always right." Mark smiled. "Alright, good talk. Now you have a show to play." Mark jumped up. "Dad."

"Yeah?"

"Thank you." Ross smiled.

"It's what I'm here for bud."


"Hey, I got your call." Calum smiled.

"Thanks for coming in such short notice." Laura closed the door.

"It's cool, is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everythings fine." Laura smiled taking a seat. "I wanted to ask you something."

"Alright, shoot." Calum sat down.

"I was talking to my parents about what's going to happen once this one arrives." Laura patted her stomach. "And they talked about godparents. I was thinking about who would make good candidates for it.. and well. I'd like you to be the godfather." She smiled.

"Wait, are you serious?" His eyes widened.

"Yeah. I mean you can decline if you want, I just thought-"

"Laura it would be an absolute honour." Calum smiled.

"Really?"

"Yes, really." He nodded and hugged her. "I thought you would have picked someone like Sterling or something."

"I thought about it, but I really don't know how much longer he's going to be around and you have always been there, and I hope you will continue to be."

"You know I will." He smiled. "This is such an honour."

"I glad you accepted." She laughed. "I was scared you would say no."

"I'm gonna be a godfather!" He paused for a second. "I'll make you an offer you can't refuse." He attempted to put on his best Don Corleon voice.

"Not that type of godfather Calum." she laughed.

"Well damn." He joked.


"Ross will you turn that damn light off, some of us are trying to sleep." Riker sighed.

"Everyone else is asleep apart from you."

"And you." Riker got up. "What the hell are you doing anyway?"

"I'm writing something."

"Writing what?"

"It's a song, well… sort of." Ross shrugged. "It's stupid."

"What's it about?" Riker asked sitting beside his brother.

"The baby." Riker could tell Ross was embarrassed. "I just.. I don't know how else to get my feelings out there. This is the only thing I'm good at."

"Well what do you have so far?"

"It's stupid." Ross scrunched up the piece of paper and threw it to the side.

"Hey." Riker ran after it trying to smooth it out. "Don't be embarrassed. Sing it."

"I don't know about that."

"Who's gonna hear? Everyone's asleep and the bus drivers heard worse." Riker handed him the guitar.

"Don't laugh?" Ross asked.

"Of course." Riker sat down as his brother began plucking some strings on the guitar.

"This is really rough." Ross said.

"Just get on with it."

He took a deep breath staring down at the messy lyrics he had written. "I can't wait to see your faces, and I can't wait to hold your hands." He looked up briefly to see his brother nodding along. "I can't wait to take you places, and watch you try to understand. I know I'll have trouble trying to explain, the things that I don't understand. But until I do, since I won't have a clue… I'll just sing this song for you.. yeah until I do.. This is you know who, and daddy's right here singing for you." He smiled to himself, only to be knocked out of it when he heard more than one person clapping. He looked up to see his entire band smiling down at him. "You guys weren't supposed to hear that." He cleared his throat.

"I think it was sweet." Rydel smiled.

"Could use some work on the guitar though." Rocky joked.

"You should show Laura it." Rydel said.

"Uh, I don't know." Ross scratched the back of his head.

"You have like two days to perfect it, why not perform it at the show she's coming to." Riker suggested.

"Yeah, we could all learn it." Ratliff shrugged.

"I think it would should better acoustic." Rocky added. "Just him and the guitar."

"Like one last dance." Ratliff nodded.

"Guys, I don't even know if she's coming so can we just stop."

"She said she was coming though?" Riker raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but I haven't spoken to her since the award show.." Ross shrugged.

"She'll come trust me. If not for you, then for me. She's still my best friend." Rydel smiled.

"I guess so."

"I think you should just sing it either way." Riker got up. "Now, can we all get to sleep now please. We have a show tomorrow."

"Yes." Ratliff said throwing himself on to his bunk.

Ross climbed up to his bunk and pulled his phone out and began typing. "Hey Laura. Sorry I've been so distant lately. Can't wait to see you at the show, you are still coming right? Just let me know. Ross." He sighed before pressing send.


"It seems that some parents are a little bit outraged by the way Disney are handling their newest pregnancy. Although many have been supportive of the decision and her role within disney, some are still a little sceptical. It's not the first time we have seen a disney star have a bun in the oven, but it is the first time that said person has been a teenager. Laura Marano and Ross Lynch may just have made Disney history. At this time is seems the two are just friends, but can we talk about that kiss between Laura and her co-star Sterling Knight. Fans seem split on who they want the actress to end up with. Regardless of some disapproving parents Laura Marano's show "The Ally Way" has continued airing it's final season and we are still excited to see how the show will end."

"Blah blah blah." Laura sighed turning the TV off. She sighed to herself as she felt her phone vibrate. She smiled at her text from Ross. Things with him were strange to say the least. She probably should have talked to him about the godparents thing, but she was sure he wouldn't mind. She was just about to text him back when she got another message.

"We need to hang tomorrow, not long till I leave for filming. Love ya, Ster x"

Sterling wasn't making things easy either. She was happy that he was moving on to bigger and better things, but part of her would really miss him. Then again, maybe it was better if he was halfway across the world. He didn't see eye to eye with Ross and she was sure that there was always part of him that wanted more than a friendship from her. She on the other hand was confused. Perhaps she just appreciated the fact that he was always there to support her.

"Of course! Call you in the morning x." She sent him the text and went back to Ross's.

"I'm still coming to the show. You enjoying the tour?" She didn't expect him to reply as quickly as he did.

Ross - It's okay.

Laura - Aren't you supposed to be a 'rockstar'?

Ross - I am. Guess I just got a lot on my mind.

Laura - Where did you go after the awards, I wanted to talk to you.

Ross - yeh, sorry about that, had to get back on the bus.

Laura - Riker talked to me.

Ross - what he say?

Laura - Nothing much, just casual conversation.

Ross - forgot to say well done on the performance, it was great.

Laura - You too. And well done on that award!

Ross - haha thanks.

Laura - Can I ask you something?

Ross - Go for it.

Laura - What was wrong with you? You seemed upset when you won the award.

Ross - I was over the moon.

Laura - Didn't seem like it. Were you mad?

Ross - what would I be mad at?

Laura - Me.

Ross - I'm sorry if I gave off that impression..

Laura - You know there is nothing romantic going on between me and Sterling, we are just good friends, that's all.

Ross - Yeah and we're not.

Laura - We are.

Ross - We barely know each other.

Laura - Well actually I know a lot about you. Your favorite color is yellow, the girl you liked asked Rocky out. And I've heard that story about you cutting you head during a game of hockey about ten times.

Ross - Not sure if I should be flattered or creeped out. And I happen to know a thing or two about you as well.

Laura - Such as?

Ross - You have a sister called Vanessa. You actually finished high school in an actual high school. Your dads like italian or something and you wanna go to college when your shows ends… I guess I kinda ruined that last one for ya.

Laura - You didn't ruin it. It was as much my fault as it was yours. Besides I can still go part time.

Ross - I guess, Riker is mad that I'm still awake. Gotta go, I'll see you at the show. Hang around after it please?

Laura - Sure, goodnight.

Ross - Night.

"Ross I'm gonna come up there and kick your ass if you don't get to sleep!"

"Alright fine." Ross threw his phone under his pillow.

"Thank you." Riker yawned.
