That was it, this was the day that tour ended. I knew that Ronnie wasn't like other guys - we had been together on this tour for so long and he hadn't even tried anything other than cuddling and snogging, which was a rarity when it came to the guys I chose - but somewhere in the back of my mind I felt like it would all go back to how it was before the gig I took Jake to. As in, we would never speak and he wouldn't know about my existence...
I must have been overthinking because Jacky came to sit beside me.
"Jade, are you alright?" I looked at him and shook my head. "What's wrong?"
"I don't know. I know Ronnie isn't like the other guys I have been with, but for some reason I still feel like he's just going to drop me and not even acknowledge my existence once tour ends..." Jacky looked at me in disbelief.
"Have you two slept together yet?" I shook my head. "Then trust me, he's not going to just dump you and leave you. I can tell you mean a damn lot to him already, and Jake means the absolute world to him." I smiled.
"Thank you Jacky, you're the best." I hugged him before Jake decided to come over and climb on my knee. "Hey Jakey."
"Hi momma, when's Ronnie coming back?" I rolled my eyes.
"I swear you like Ronnie more than me. And he won't be long, he's just took the dogs out and then we're going home." He nodded.
"So, how often will we see him and Charlie when we aren't touring? Because Jingo and Charlie are best friends so they need to spend a lot of time together." He started smiling thinking about it.
"Look Jakey, I don't know how things are going to work when we go home because Ronnie lives far away OK?" He pouted before wandering off to his bunk in a huff - Jacky and the other guys went to see to him whilst I waited for Ronnie.

Ronnie had not turned up and the bus had moved without him so I was seriously confused. The guys seemed to know what was going on but I seriously had no idea and was starting to worry more than anything. After a while the bus pulled up and Ron brought me mine and Jake's things. I looked at him in disbelief.
"Jacky, this isn't where I live." He shook his head.
"Yes it is. You and Ronnie are moving in together!" I looked at him in disbelief.
"What? No we aren't. I didn't know anything about this. I'm so confused."
"Ronnie decided to sort it out for you. He couldn't bare to be away from you and Jake so decided he wanted you to move in with him, but knew you'd be all 'but I can't afford to contribute' and all that jazz." I rolled my eyes.
"OK then, come on Jakey."
With that, I carried Jake and my things off the bus, and was greeted by Ronnie waiting outside the house, grinning like an idiot. I couldn't help but smile, Ronnie made me so happy and he thought the world of Jake which made me appreciate him so much more as Jake meant more to me than anything.
Ronnie took Jake off of me and took him upstairs to see his new room whilst I dumped the bags and followed them upstairs after. Jake's room looked amazing. It was Batman, mixed with zebra, as those were his two favourite things ever. Jake seemed so happy, and in turn that made me so happy. I walked over to Ronnie and hugged him before thanking him for this. Yes - I would be annoyed that I couldn't pay anything towards but I really did appreciate what Ronnie had done for us.
Jake decided that he wanted to stay in his room with the dogs and his toys, so Ronnie decided to show me his room, that would now be ours. I walked in and laughed, it was literally full of musical stuff, and the two beds for the dogs - I swear, he always said I spoiled the dogs too much, but he was so much worse than me for it.
"So Jade, I know this is all probably a bit weird for you but there is something else.." I looked at him, confused. "Tonight, Jake is going to stay with Jacky - he literally lives around the corner - and we are going to do something together since we have never actually had a proper date night since we've always been on tour." I couldn't help but smile.
"I swear you are too good for me... But how did you know Jake would be OK with all of this, like moving and stuff, he usually hates change?" Ronnie chuckled.
"He's been in on all of this." I shot him a look of disbelief.
"God damn, that child is too secretive." Ronnie just laughed before I decided to go and check on Jakey.
I stuck my head around the door and saw him sat on his bed with his favourite zebra teddy, listening to his (ridiculously over-played) Falling In Reverse CD. I swear he was the biggest fanboy ever when it came to Falling In Reverse.
"Hi momma!" He looked up at me and started grinning as he spoke.
"Hello Jakey. What's this about you knowing everything all along?" He smiled again.
"I promised daddy I wouldn't tell." I rolled my eyes.
"You know Ronnie isn't your real daddy right?" I sat down beside him and he nodded. "Good, and are you sure he's OK with you calling him that?"
Ronnie's POV
"You know Ronnie isn't your real daddy right?" I watched Jade sit down beside Jake as Jake nodded. "Good, and are you sure he's OK with you calling him that?" I stepped into the room.
"Jade I'm perfectly fine with it. I think it's great that he wants to call me his dad." I sat with both of them and Jake climbed onto my knee. "And how are you liking your new room?" Jake grinned.
"I love it! And I love the fact that you wanted me and momma to move in with you because we both love you very much." Jade rolled her eyes at him and I couldn't help but laugh. "So anyway... When do I get to go see Uncle Jacky?"
