Hey Lovelies! I am so, so, so, so sorry for not updating! I've just been having horrible writer's block and a lot has been happening at home! And once again... I'm Sorry! Soooo.. I don't wanna keep you guys waiting any longer...

Here's Chapter 2! Yayyyy! XD

Ally's Pov:

*2 Hours Later*

"Okay, people!... We have five minutes until Riker walks through that door! Then, after that we only have thirty minutes until mom and dad get home! Let's hussle!"Ryland screams into the megaphone, causing us all to cover our ears.

"Ryland... How many times do we have to tell you that you don't need to scream every time you use the megaphone?!" Rocky says, grabbing the megaphone from Ryland and smacking him on the head.

I stand there and watch as Ryland smacks Rocky on the head, causing a quarrel between the two, then sigh and walk into the kitchen... To find Rydel trying o make fruit punch while Austin is spinning past her every few seconds on an office chair...

"Oh! The joy of having Brothers." I say sarcastically, causing Austin to bump into the fridge and fall off the office chair.

"Yup!" Rydel says chuckling as she watches Austin trying to get back on his feet.

"Here." I say, as I grasp both of Austin's hands and slowly pull him up. "You Okay?" I say, smiling at him.

"Yeah. Thanks, Als." Austin says, smiling back.

"It was nothing." I say, smiling to the ground. I look up a bit and see Rydel watching us, trying to keep from smiling while mixing the punch.

"Hey! Everyone, I'm Home! Ryland, Rocky! You two know that you shouldn't be fighting... Without letting me join in!" We hear a familiar voice say from the living room.

"Riker!" Me and Austin say in unison, as Austin pulls me into the front room; our hands still clasped. Rydel quickly runs in front of us, practically jumping into Riker's arms, giving him a bear hug.

"I missed you Big bro!" Rydel says, hugging him tighter like he might dissapear at any second. "You ever leave again, and I swear to God when you come back I'm gonna beat you!" Rydel says jokingly, causing us all to laugh.

"Ha, I missed you, too, Ry!" Riker says, ruffling her hair slightly. Rydel then walks back to the kitchen to finish up her cooking.

"Hey, man we've missed you like crazy!"Austin says, patting Riker on the shoulder. I watch as Austin, Ryland, and Rocky each give Riker one of those "bro" handshakes and hugs; I wait to say my "hello's" to Riker.

"Hey, big bro" I say, waving my hand awkwardly.

"Hey, you! Come Here, Ally-Cat!" Riker says, opening his arms. I quickly make a movement to run a jump into his arms, but something jerks me back. I then realize that mine and Austin's hands are still clasped.

"Sorry 'bout that, Als." Austin says apologetically, while releasing my hand.

"It's Okay, Austin." I say, smiling at him.

I Turn back to Riker, giving him a quick apologetic look before running into his open arms. I wrap my arms around his torso, snuffling my face in his chest as he wraps his arms tightly around me, making sure not to crush my petite body. Oh! How I missed him so much!

"I missed you so much, Ally." Riker whispers into my hair.

"I missed you more, Riker." I say into his chest.

"Impossible." Riker says, pulling away to look into my eyes, while chuckling.

Austin's Pov:

As I let go of Ally's hand, I watch her quickly run into Riker's arms, wrapping her small arms around his torso. As everyone else leaves to finish the activities they were doing in preperation of mom and dad's anniversary, I stay and watch as Ally and Riker hug each other for a while.

I can't help but feel this tugging feeling at my heart, as I watch Riker hug Ally. It's Like I'm jealous or something, but I shouldn't be, especially since it's my brother and step-sister hugging... Right?

"Anyway, you two... We now have only ten monutes until Mom and Dad get back." I say, breaking up their hug, without even thinking. "We have a lot to do."

I quickly make my way back to the kitchen and instantly begin to help Rydel with finishing up the food.

"What was that all about?" Rydel asks me, cocking her eyebrow.

"What do you mean?" I ask, acting dumb.

"I saw what you did Austin" Rydel says, smirking."You broke up Ally and Riker's hug."

"Well, yeah.. I-I Mean that, they're brother and sister.. Th-they shouldn't be hugging like that.. Ya know?" I say, nervously scratching my neck.

"No.. I don't know, especially since she's our step-sister. "Rydel says, looking me in the eyes."We have no blood relation and we didn't exactly grow up with her our complete and entire lives."

"Well, we practically did." I say, turning away from her gaze. "Can we just drop the subject, please?"

"Fine, but don't think that I'm not gonna figure you out, Austin." I hear Rydel say as I walk out of the kitchen.

"There's nothing to figure out!" I say, poking my head back into to the kitchen.

"Mhmm, sure." Rydel says, smirking at me.

I soon hear the door-knob begin to jiggle as our parents unlock it.

"Everyone! They're here!" I yell, as I quickly lock the door again, allowing everyone to hide. As soon as everyone is in their places, I run from the door and quickly hide behind the couch, accidently knocking into Ally. I manage to catch her, while sinking to the ground slowly behind the couch, holding her close in my arms.

"Sorry, Als." I say, looking at the floor.

"It's all good, Austin." Ally says, bringing my face up to look her in the eyes. She softly smiles at me. I feel that heat I felt earlier today, overcome my whole body, once again. She just looks so beautiful, right here.. in this moment. It feels so right holding her in my arms.

I begin to lean in slowly, the moment becoming better and better.. Then, our moment is broken, as I'm only able to plant a soft peck on her cheek, before standing up with her in my arms, bridel-style.

Ally's Pov:

"It's all good, Austin" I say, bringing his face up to look me in the eyes. I softly smile at him, making him smile back... Then, like what I felt just a few hours ago, I feel the heat overcome my whole body, once more. I can't believe what I'm feeling right now... This moment just seems.. Perfect... Flawless... Amazing. It feels so right being in his arms.

I notice him leaning in slowly and this time I don't feel myself freaking out like before... This time I want it to happen, I think. Accutally, I really wanted it to happen earlier, too... I'm stuck in this moment so much, that I barely have time to process what's happening in my mind, as he quickly plants a kiss on my cheek and stands up with me still in his arms, bridel-style... And then yelled:

"SURPRISE!"...

IMPORTANT:
