AN: Thank you all for the wonderful reviews! They mean a lot to me. And if you guys are interested I will make a Raura story or a Rockaura one next. I am also still working on Face to Face but for the life of me I am blocked. So do bare with me.

So with that in mind on with the next chapter.

And in Case you missed it, I don't own anything but the plot. Everything else I don't.

Chapter 5

It has been a week since the Ross bombshell, of him getting his costar Maia pregnant on the set of their movie. And To say that everything went back to normal would be a complete lie. Things were still intense within the Lynch family; Rydel Rocky Riker and their friend Ratliff were pissed at Ross because due to his own stupidity R5 was being put on hold. This was a shame since they were beginning to get buzz due to Ross and Austin and Ally. Laura did everything that she could to be there for Riker and Rocky of course, Rocky told her not to worry about it; it wasn't her fault that Ross was an enormous idiot. Riker told her the same thing that they didn't have to worry it was Ross's responsibility. He just wished the rest of the band didn't have to be sacrificed for the sake of it.

"Did you try telling your dad that? I mean maybe he will realize that it is your band not just Ross's and you guys should not be punished."

"No I didn't because honestly it would not do any good. Even if we did continue on without Ross, Would Hollywood Records really keep us without Ross? We basically got it due to him and the show." Riker said sadly.

"That may be true at first but the rest of you have shown that the rest of the band is as talented as Ross. They would be fools to get rid of you."

Riker smiled. 'Thanks for saying that. I don't know, I just still can't believe this is happening. Ross is such a dumbass."

Laura felt like the only thing she could do was hug Riker, so that is what she did. She wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest. Riker sighed and wrapped his arms around her, leaving his head on top of hers. She was the only thing keeping him sane right now. Being with her was the only thing that was keeping him calm and grounded.

It amazed him to this day that six months ago they were just acquaintances through Ross, and now? Riker couldn't imagine being with another woman.

"You are seriously the only reason why I am remotely sane babe. I love you so damn much I don't know how I would be like without you being here. Not just for me, But for Rocky too. And I heard you and Rydel on the phone, this whole family owes you babe. I am just thankful that you found it in your kind heart to love a guy like me."

Laura raised her head. "You are a terrific guy Riker and I love you because you are an amazing guy, an even better friend, an awesome brother and the most amazing boyfriend that any girl could ever wish for. I don't want you to ever feel like it would be a chore to love you. It comes so naturally for me, almost like breathing."

Riker bend his head to catch her lips in a brief sweet kiss. It let her know that her words meant the world to him.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. Now come with me." Laura said as she took Riker by the hand to the bedroom. She just wanted it to be her and Riker in their own little world. They haven't made love since the night the news about Ross broke. They would be careful and use protection, but she needed to be with him in that way. And she felt that he needed it too.

A few hours later Riker was lying there after an incredible afternoon with Laura. She was sleeping trying to recover from the rushed and hungry lovemaking. It was amazing that she knew that he needed to feel close to her. Trying not to wake her, Riker carefully got out of bed, finding his boxers; he placed them on and then opened the door closing it behind him. He needed something to drink. Riker walked out to the kitchen passing the living room, noticing that Rocky got back and was watching TV.

"Hey when did you get back?"

Rocky turned his head when he heard Riker speak to him. "A while ago, the beach was chill as always but I was wiped so I came home. So I take it you had a good afternoon?"

Riker blushed.

"Yeah so Shut up."

Rocky smirked. "Where's Laura?"

"She's still sleeping so don't be so loud."

"Wow did you wear her out or something?"

Riker Glared.

"Okay I will stop, so have you heard from the rents?"

Riker shook his head. "No, and I don't want to call either because I want to try and avoid that drama as much as I can."

Rocky shook his head in agreement.

"Tell me about it. So what are we going to do about the band?"

"No clue."

Rocky rolled his eyes. "Thanks for that. You're the oldest, aren't you suppose to know how to fix it."

It was Riker's turn to roll his eyes.

"Feel free to throw around suggestions. Do you honestly think dad would let the band continue without Ross?"

"Well he should let Ross still remain in the band; I mean he does have a baby on the way to support."

Riker snorted. "Yeah go with that explanation to dad."

Rocky said 'Well It's better than what you got."

"I don't know, but we will figure something out. Until then I think I am going to focus on the acting thing. I want to start getting some more money in; I want to help Laura pay for this place. It's only right since I live here. Plus I need something to do during the day you know?"

"I thought you had that by sexing up Laura?" Rocky snickered.

Riker threw the pillow from the chair at Rocky's head. While the boys were playing around, Laura finally woke up and entered the room.

"What are you guys up too?" Both Riker and Rocky turned. Busted.

"I was just here telling Rocky to shut his trap, I mean the boy doesn't know when to shut up."

Rocky rolled his eyes. "Nice afternoon or shall I say evening now Laura?"

Laura blushed. "Shut up Rocky. Now what do you guys want for dinner?"

"Let's just order in, I don't feel like cooking how about a pizza?"

"Sounds good."

Laura went to get in a quick shower while they were waiting on the pizza to arrive. This afternoon was amazing. To be close with Riker again was incredible. She knows she shouldn't let the thoughts of this being only physical thing get to her, sure she and Riker have sex, like a lot but they love each other so why not show it?

Ugh.

This is getting old. She wasn't this worried about it for a while until the whole Ross thing. Damn Ross and for not using protection.

Well the good news is that when Ross finds out about her and Riker, he shouldn't be pissed. After all he has been sleeping with someone else and is now expecting a baby with that person. So what kind of ground would he be able to stand on?

None. As she was about to get in and get the shower started, a knock at the door brought her out of her thoughts.

"Laura?"

"Yes Riker?"

"Can I come in?"

"I'm Naked, I am about to get in the shower, what did you need?"

"Well I definitely need to come in now." Riker said with a suggestive tone.

"Didn't you get enough this afternoon?"

Riker gasped. "Are you saying you don't want this again? I mean I always want you."

Laura laughed. "I would but I'm still sore from last time, maybe later alright tiger."

"I guess." Riker snickered. Then his tone changed. " Seriously Laura can I come in, I want to talk."

" Okay." Laura wrapped a towel around her body and opened the door letting Riker in. Riker smirked at first and placed a chaste kiss on Laura before he moved into the room. Closing the door behind him, he just held Laura for a little bit before Laura started to get worried.

"Everything okay?"

"Yeah I just wanted a hug. And to thank you again for being there for me. I really appreciate it."

Laura smiled. "It was my pleasure. Now can I try and take a shower, I still smell like you."

"I like it when you smell like me. It feels like we are even closer if that makes any sense."

"It does. Now Riker tell me what's wrong, and don't tell me anything. You have been melancholy and I don't think it is just about Ross."

Riker sighed. He knew she wouldn't stop until she got it out of him.

" Honestly it is just about the Ross thing, But It got me to thinking what I would do in that situation and can I say something and for it not to freak you out?"

Laura nodded.

"I am kind of jealous of Ross. He has a permanent connection with someone he just met. He is going to be a father to a child that he will have with a girl that I am pretty sure it won't last. And it got me to thinking if it happened to us."

Laura waited for him to go on.

"I love you, I hope you know that. Yes it has been not that long, but honestly I have never felt this way, when I am not with you, I am thinking about you. My heart actually aches until I get to see you again. That sounds corny and cheesy as all out. But it is my truth. I think, I mean I hope that this between us is of a permanent nature. I don't want any other girl. All I want is you, and if we ever had a child and it happened sooner rather than later, I would be happy because it would mean we would be a family. Because honestly Laura you are my family."

The tears that were building in Laura's eyes started to escape, she didn't know what else to that could anyway answer to that amazing eloquent speech, but she just wrapped her arms around him and held onto like he was the only thing saving her.

"I feel the same way, Riker I know we are young, but I can see us having a future together. And now that I know you want the same thing. Nothing makes me happier than that."

"Sorry to bug, I just with everything with Ross and baby, and worrying about everyone's reaction to us, I just needed an outlet to say what I wanted to say. And as long as you will have me, I am yours."

Laura smiled.

Riker went to get up. "I will let you back to your shower. See you out there babe." Riker went to go out, when he felt her pull at his boxers. She slid them down his legs and now he was completely naked in front of her. Laura loved a naked Riker, The man was gorgeous, and he really should be naked all the time.

"We have a shower to take, I mean we are in a drought it would be best to save water wouldn't it?"

Riker smirked. "It definitely would."

Forty five minutes and no hot water left later, Riker and Laura made their way out of the bathroom completely changed. They noticed Rocky sitting down in the living room, with his head down. The pizza had already been delivered, even though it hadn't been touched.

"Hey Rocky you okay? What's up?" Riker asked.

"Rocky looked up, it looked like he was about to cry.

"Rocky man what's the deal, what's going on?"

It took Rocky a few minutes to speak. "While you guys were in the shower, Mom called. They are coming home tomorrow. Disney pulled the plug on the movie. They are still going to let Ross do Austin and Ally, but they ley Maia out of her contract."

"What! They are punishing Maia when Ross was just responsible? I mean he was the one to actually get her pregnant. No offense I love Ross but that doesn't seem fair." Laura answered. That was totally wrong.

"The only reason they didn't fire Ross was because of the success of the show, Austin and Ally are making them money hence why he could stay."

"Well as much as it sucks for Maia, why are you on the brink of tears? It isn't like you know her personally." Riker answered

"Well they are letting Ross keep Austin and Ally, but they are revoking our deal at Hollywood records until further notice. They said as soon as the press dies down then maybe they will talk."

"So they are dropping us after all. I knew they would."

Laura's heart broke for the two boys. She knew how much the band meant for them. All the members actually. She rubbed her hand on Rikers arm.

The gesture made him smile.

"You know what; maybe this is for the best. Now you guys can go find another deal that isn't based off on your brothers TV show. It will be based off the talent of all of you." Laura said.

"Thanks Laura but I actually am taking this as a sign that maybe I shouldn't be in music for a while. All this hard work down the drain just because one mistake. That is such bull crap. But whatevs. Now here is the part where you guys will hate me."

"What?" Riker said. Laura didn't say anything. What could have Rocky done?

"I may have accidently mention to Mom about us living with Laura."

"WHAT?!" Riker and Laura both screeched.

"How could you do that over the phone? We were going to tell her in person when they got back."

"I didn't do it intentionally, Mom mentioned that Ross was going to need a place to stay since oh yeah dad kicked him out. Told him if he was old enough to make a baby, he is old enough not to be in his house. So I mentioned that Laura had a place with three bedrooms, and she asked if I could ask you if Ross could stay here for a while, that was when I let it slip that Riker and I had already moved in."

Riker rolled his eyes. He swore both his brothers were idiots. Let's hope Ryland doesn't fall the same fate.

"Oh my god! Your mother probably thinking I am some skank stealing her boys, she is totally going to kill me." Laura started to panic. Riker pulled her close to him.

"Remember what we said in the bathroom? Nothing will affect this. Plus mom won't hate you hell dad wont either. They love you and adore you, and Mom asked if Ross could stay here, does that sound like a person that would hate you?"

"No..."

'Well then that is settled. So Rocky what did mom say when she found out? And did you tell her about Laura and I's relationship?"

"No I didn't, but she was curious, I just told her it was time for us to live out on our own and what better way with a friend that we all know. Look I am sorry guys but the thought of my little brother getting kicked out upset me, I didn't mean to blab and offer for Ross to stay here."

"Look Rocky its fine. So I am assuming Ross will be headed here when he arrives?"

"Yeah."

"So Ross is about to find out about us. I wonder what is going to happen now Riker?"

Riker just stood there for a second, trying to process all that has happened.

"Well Ross is about to find out. Let's see how it will go, Hopefully it will go good, but with Ross being kicked out, the loss of the deal and him close to being fired, Ross is on edge. And that babe is never a good thing. Not a good thing at all."

AN: I have a few ideas for another Austin and Ally stories as well as Riaura (Riker/Laura) ones. I am also thinking of doing a Rockaura (Rocky/Laura) would you read that if I did?

And please review it means a lot for me to see reviews for my stories. It lets me know what I am doing well and what I need to work on.
