Chapter 24

Six weeks have passed since the fall out of Riker sleeping with Maia. Laura was true to her word, she had cut everything Riker related out of her life. Rocky and Ross were still her roommates but they didn't even think of broaching the Riker subject with her. She even went as far and got a new phone number, giving out to only people who were sworn to not give it to Riker. Riker had kept trying to call her and text her ever since leaving the apartment. He ended up moving back in with his parents. Who were disappointed and saddened that they broke up. They couldn't believe that Riker would be a willing participant in sleeping with Maia, so they believed him when he told them that he was drugged. Stormie was pissed that once again that girl was coming after her family and running Riker and Laura's relationship. But as much as she wanted too she knew she couldn't fix their relationship and as much as she wished Laura would forgive her little boy, she also knows how deep she is hurting and told Riker that he needed to give her time to see if she can heal from this.

Riker was going insane. He tried calling and texting Laura; he understood that she was upset and betrayed. But he wanted to keep the lines of communication open. But Laura didn't want none of that. She changed her phone number and when he asked Rocky and Ross for the new number they just told him no.

Some brothers they are.

Riker rolled his eyes.

But he was glad that they were keeping their word and being there for Laura. It killed him to be apart from her and to know that he was the one who ruined things between them. Even if he had no choice in it.

What didn't help matters was that Maia tried to keep on getting in contact with him. She was the last person that he wanted to ever hear from again. But she kept trying and trying.

That girl was insane. He was so tempted to file a restraining order against her. What would he say? The girl that he cheated on his girlfriend with was calling him too much? They would probably say he was a dog and that he deserved it.

Well anyway back to Laura, ever since he moved out the apartment, or when Laura kicked him out. Riker has been trying to do whatever he could to see her. Every time that he went to the apartment she was either hiding in the bedroom, and Rocky wouldn't let him see her. Or she was down at the Austin and Ally set. And every time that he tried to go down there, he was told that he was not welcomed on set. Not even for being Ross's brother. And every time that he went down there he would get a dirty look from Raini and Calum too. Looks like he lost them as friends as well as Laura.

Riker sighed. His life really sucked at the moment.

He wasn't even that interested in recording with R5. Even though his current situation gave them plenty of material for multiple albums, he was too heartbroken to even care. Which he knows he wasn't being fair to the rest of them. But how would they handle it if they lost the love of their lives due to some crazy chick that had a vendetta against you and your family?

Riker was moping in his room when he heard his phone ring.

Maia. Again.

How the hell did she get his number again? Well figuring that if he didn't at least answer she will continue to call again and again.

" What the hell do you want! I told you I don't want to ever hear from you ever again!" Riker growled in the phone.

Maia rolled her eyes. " Nice to talk to you too." She said sarcastically.

Riker rolled his eyes. " Seriously Maia what do you want? I don't have time for this shit."

" Well you better find time for this shit as you so equality put it. I have something I need to tell you."

" What?"

" I think it would be best if we said this in person. Meet me at the hospital on 4th and Jefferson."

" Why would I need to meet you there? And why would I ever meet you?"

" Because we are going to be parents, you doof and I want you to see the proof that I really am pregnant this time."

Oh God.

" You are lying, you already pulled this scam with Ross."

Maia rolled her eyes. " That is why I have actual proof here for you. The doctors will actually back me up. You have thirty minutes to meet me and to learn about our baby."

Maia hung up. Riker felt like he was going to be sick. His life was truly over, and if Maia is pregnant for reals this time. Then that is it.

His relationship with Laura would be completely over for good. There would be no way she would ever forgive him for getting Maia pregnant.

Laura just got back to the apartment. Raini and Rydel took her out for a girl's day. It was nice being with her two best friends. It meant a lot to her that they cared enough about her to help her get through this. But no matter how hard they tried, no matter how hard she tried. She still couldn't stop thinking about Riker.

Or should she say Riker and Maia.

Just the thought of the two of them made her physically sick.

Laura had always been raised to believe the good in people. But she truly believes there is nothing good in Maia but pure evil. How could one person hurt so many and not even care?

Laura sighed. She really needed to stop this. She was going to drive herself insane if she didn't.

And as much as she would love not to even think about Riker, she couldn't help it. Laura thinks about the confrontation in the bedroom and the pain and shame in his voice still haunts her dreams. Laura could tell that he was remorseful and ashamed and he really didn't want it to be over.

The way he begged and pleaded. The sounds of his sobs pleading with her not to give up on them, it nearly drives her crazy.

She hears from Rocky and Ross even though they don't tell her to her face since she made it clear she didn't want to hear anything Riker related, she just heard in passing that Riker wasn't doing any good. That he lock himself in his bedroom and not come out. His mother could hear his sobs at night and even during the day. He didn't even go to band practice anymore.

That broke her heart. Despite him breaking her heart she didn't want Riker to harm himself and cut himself off from the world. That was the last thing that she ever would want.

But isn't she doing the same things really? By asking people not to mention Riker to her? Hell she even changed her phone number so he could stop calling her. As much as she feels hurt and betrayed she knows Riker is going through hell. A few days after the initial shock Laura could actually imagine the story that Riker said to her about Maia drugging him could be true. Because when she was more rational she realized that Riker didn't give her a moment of doubt that he loved her. Even when Nic was here his ex, he reassured her of his love for her. So why would he all of a sudden sleep with someone else.

And in all honestly she really wouldn't put it pass Maia to do something like that. But why would she want Riker? Didn't she want Ross?

Ugh.

Plus even if it was true, Riker still broke the trust and faithfulness in their relationship. She really wasn't sure if she could ever get passed that despite it being caused by Maia.

Was she being unfair? Riker said he had no choice that he thought she was her and that he thought he was making love to her Laura and not Maia. Was it really fair to punish him for something that was technically his fault.

But Laura couldn't help that she felt this way. She was hurt and he did sleep with someone else even with it be cohesion on Maia's part.

It may not be fair but Laura knew that she would never get over the feeling of betrayal. She and Riker are done for good. Without trust what good is a relationship?

Laura just sighed. How was she going to be able to let go of the dreams she had for her and Riker. How was she going to be able to let him go fully and move on with her life?

That was when she got an idea.

He was going to be a father. Maia wasn't lying this time. The doctor even did an ultrasound to show the baby. She was six weeks along. That is how long it has been since their unfortunate night together.

Riker just felt like crying yet again.

How could he be a father when he hates his baby's mother? He had always thought that title would go to Laura and they would have a family together.

Not Him and Maia.

Ugh.

How was he going to tell everyone? He knew how they reacted when Ross was in the same boat. But this time there is a baby and not some hoax. Even though he desperately wanted it to be.

After finding out for sure about the baby, Riker had no doubt that any hope he had of trying to fix things with Laura were gone. There was no way she would ever get past him having a baby with another girl.

What is even worse is that he is tied to Maia for life. There would be escaping her. And even though he wasn't ready to be a father, he is going to have to protect his baby from their mother. Because who knows what Maia will be like as a mother.

God this was a nightmare.

Riker was lost in thought when his phone rang, he didn't recognize the number so he sent it to voicemail.

Plus he really wasn't in the mood to talk with anybody.

Voicemail.

Maybe it wasnt a bad thing Riker didn't pick up. Laura wasn't really sure on what to say.

Maybe this was a sign letting her know that she and Riker were meant to not be together. And that she made the right decision.

Yeah it definitely was.

Riker and her could no longer be together.

Laura sighed. She put away her phone and went to start getting ready. She and Raini were going out for dinner and still had to get changed and ready.

Rocky came in the door and looked at Laura.

" Hey Laura how are you doing today?"

Laura rolled her eyes.

" Rocky I am doing fine. I really am. In fact can we talk?"

Rocky nodded his head.

" I just want to say I am sorry for making it seem like you or Ross can't talk about your brother. You guys should be able to without me reacting in a bad way. Look Riker is your brother and you should be able to talk about him whenever you want too. I just wanted to let you know that you guys can. Riker was my friend before becoming something more. I didn't mean to make you guys think you couldn't talk about him."

Rocky felt relief. Maybe she was ready to try and work on her relationship with Riker then?

" So does that mean you are willing to work things out with him."

Laura shook her head sadly. " No, I mean I am willing to see if we can be friends again someday. But being anything more, that is not in the cards for us. I know Maia did something to him, but I can't get the picture of him touching her the same way he would touch me out of my head. I am sorry that he is hurting and I really don't want that. I just can't be with him in that way again. And I really hope you can respect that."

Rocky nodded sadly. " I can. I mean there is nothing more than I would love to see then you two getting back together. I believe Riker is a victim as much as you Laura; Maia did something to him in order for her to get him in bed with her. But I do understand your pain, and I am here for you. But please take some time and consider if that door on Riker is really close or not. It may take a long time to get it back. But the love you guys have is too strong to just let it die. But If it is really what you decide and want. Then I will have your back. Riker is my family but so are you. Just know that okay?" Rocky said.

Laura hugged Rocky. He really is an amazing friend.

" Thank you Rocky."

" So were are you going?"

" I am going out with Raini for dinner and Calum is probably coming too. Did you want to come?"

" If you are sure." Rocky said.

" Yeah I am, so lets get ready and go." Laura smiled.
