Secrets and news

"We should tell everybody"she jumps off
"Really? Ok let's do that"she gets excited again and we hug again
"Well until they get home? I was thinking that we could celebrate this special occasion"she starts sliding her leg up mine and playing with my shirt
"As much as I would love to, what about rachel?"we both look at rachel and she sighs
"Ugh fine"she walk over to rachel and picks her up
"Rach mommy loves you and daddy loves you to. Even though your a lynch and I'm not"she glares at me and I giggle
"Come on baby don't be mad. It will happen trust me"I walk over to her and she smiles. Then everyone else walks in
"Hey guys"laura says
"Hey"I say
"So riker and vanessa are coming over later to hang out here"my mom says to everyone. They all walk in and sit down
"Well ross and I are going to go upstairs. We have to clean our rooms"laura pulls me upstairs with rachel in her arms
"Ok seriously we have to start cleaning and packing. I'll clean your dresser and you clean your desk. Now go get some garbage bags"I roll my eyes and walk back downstairs
"I thought you were cleaning?"Rocky turns his head on the couch
"I'm just getting garbage bags"I walk into the kitchen and grab some then walk back upstairs
"I'm back"I walk in and she starts cleaning right away. She opens my drawers and throws a lot of clothes in bags and the rest in my bed. All the while rachel is crawling around on the floor. I walk to my desk and start cleaning it out
"Uh ross?"laura asks and I turn around. She also turns around and holds up a pair of my superman boxers
"What"I ask innocently and she just laughs
"Ok fine laugh all you want. I'll get you back. Next time I get you pregnant I'm going to wear those"I joke
"Not forever"she smirks and I turn back around smiling. Then I feel arms wrap around me
"Come on rossy. We can get your siblings to watch rachel"she starts kissing my neck
"Lar. No"I push her off
"Not now there are like 10 people here"she nods and walks back to my dresser. The rest of the time we don't say anything
RIKER POV
I drive to Nicole's school to pick her up
"Daddy can Jordan and Brittany sleepover?"Nicole asks me through the car door
"Sorry honey but we're going to grandma and grandpas house. You can go to their house though"I say without thinking. Then she runs off. She comes back with Jordan, Brittany, and her parents. I get out of the car
"Hey riker nice to see you again"joe shakes my hand
"You to. So vanessa and I are busy tonight so can Nicole go to your house?"I ask and he nods
"Yeah my wife won't mind"he smiles and Nicole jumps around
"Ok Nicole let's go home so you can get packed"she jumps in the car
"Here's my number and address"he hands me a piece of paper. I except it and get in the car
"So Nicole your first sleepover?"I ask through the mirror
"Yeah some of the other girls at my school have them every weekend so I wanna try it. They have it Abigail's mansion and play hide and seek"she looks out the window
"You ok?"I ask her
"How come we don't live in a mansion?"she blurts out
"Because if you lived in a mansion then you would be a brat just like Abigail"she smiles and I pull into the driveway. She jumps out and runs to the door. I open it and she runs to her room. Vanessa is sitting on the couch watching TV
"Hey baby"she stands up and gives me a hug
"Hey. So Nicole is going to sleepover and a friends house and my mom wants us to go over there to hang out"vanessa nods
"Ok"she simply says
"Really? That's it. No do the dishes or take out the garbage?"I ask and she shakes her head and kisses me. Nicole runs down the stairs holding a suitcase
"All right let's go"we all walk out and I drive to joes house
"Riker!"he yells outside his house. We all get out and vanessa grabs my hand as we walk up to him and his wife
"Hey"we clap hand. His wife Karen walks up to us
"Oh joe this is vanessa"I introduce vanessa and they shake hands
"Vanessa, riker, this is my wife karren"vanessa and karren shake hands then I shake her hand. Nicole runs over to Brittany
"Wait ni-"I yell but joe stops me
"It's ok she is just putting her bag inside"I sigh and vanessa grabs my hand tighter. Then Nicole comes back to us
VANESSA POV
I watch as Nicole runs over to us and jumps in rikers arms. Riker lifts her up and spins her around. That is the moment that I know that riker will be a great father to this kid. He is only one day old. Not even. Riker drops Nicole and she walks over to me
"I love you mommy"I kneel down to her hight and I give her a hug. She hugs me a little longer
"I love you to Nicole"I say then she lets go and walks away. I stand up normally
"Well we better get going"riker says and we walk back to the car
LAURA POV
We finished cleaning ross room so now we are in mine and Rachel's room
"Wow ok so where should we start?"ross asks hovering over me
"I'll get the dresser and you get my desk"I look up and him and he glares at me
"Come on how come you got to see my boxers but I can't see your panties?"he asks and I look down and blush
"I'm cleaning your dresser"he walks passed me. Then I remember. I quickly stop him from taking out one of the drawers
"Ross please if you love me at all you will not take that drawer out. Or any of them"he looks at me and I don't look him in the eye
"Laura is there something you want to tell me?"he folds his arms and sits on my bed
"Fine!"I yell. I take out all my drawers and underneath them there are letter taped on. I grab all of them and hand them to ross. He glances at me first before reading them
"What are these?"he asks still reading them
"Their love letters from my mom and dad. And also hate letters"I sit next to him and he looks at me. I don't look at him but I look at the letters
"See this one is addressed to my mom from my grandma. If you read it it will say that my grandparents didn't like my father"he looks down at them as I point to everything
"And this one says that my grandpa paid my father to break up with my mom. Here, my mom got married and pregnant but then left him and eloped with my father"I stop so I don't cry. Ross just looks at them in amazement
"Laura what are you saying?"he asks and looks at me again. This time I look at him
"I'm saying that Vanessa's dad and my dad are not the same person but also that their relationship is just like ours"I stand up but ross stays sitting
"So your grandpa paid your father to break up with your mom?"he asks and I nod
"Then they eloped but your mom was already pregnant?"I nod again and he stands up to
"This is so not us"he waves the letters in my face
"Ross, I know my dad paid your mom to adopt me. It's ok I mean it's kindof cute. A tradition"I try to make this situation positive but it doesn't work and I start crying. Ross gives me a hug
"How come my dad did this to me?"I sob into ross chest
"Maybe he wanted me to feel what he felt"ross says and I dry my tears
"Yeah maybe your right. Ok so now what about vanessa?"I ask
"On some level don't you think she already knows?"he asks and I shake my head
"No. I have to tell her. I'll tell her tonight when we tell everyone were moving"ross puts the letters on the desk and we keep cleaning
RYDEL POV
"Ratliff?"I ask him. We sit on his bed watching tv in his room
"Yeah?"he plays with my hair

"Sounds like a plan. Let's go"we get up and get ready

"I love you to"I kiss her hand and keep driving to my parents house
ROSS POV

"Me to maybe I will have time to pop the question"I smirk
"I hope you will"she sits on my lap and I wrap my arms around her
"What if you say no?"I ask and she looks at me
"Why would I say no?"she asks confused
"Well I mean I proposed once already and we've been through so much-"I ramble on. She stops me by giving me a kiss
"I promise I'll say yes. Now come on we have to go tell your parents"she stands up and drags me up. I grab rachel and we go downstairs
"Hey guys riker and vanessa are on their way"my mom says carrying a lot of stuff into the living room

"Ok me next"vanessa squirms around then sighs. She grabs rikers hand

I walk into the kitchen with ryland
"So is now the time you tell us when your going to pop the question?"he folds his arms as I roll my eyes
"Really?"he nods. I grab the ring out of my back pocket and show it to him
"I was going to do it on Valentine's Day but she was working late now I don't know when to do it"he admires the ring. I take it back and hide it
"How about you take her to dinner tonight"he suggests
"I can't were moving in tomarrow morning"While ryland this to think laura walks in
