Coltons POV

"Hello Colton. I've missed you so much darling." I gave her an awkward hug and stepped aside so she could come in. "What brings you here?" I asked her. She looked around the house.

"Well, I heard you had gotten married, and something about knocking up your wife. I have to say, I am quite hurt I was not invited to the wedding. Anyways, who's the girl?" Just as I was about to speak, Riley walked downstairs. "Aunt Vivian, you remember Riley, right? She is my wife. And I didn't knock her up, we wanted a baby." Vivan rolled her eyes.
"Hm, I figured you would've gone back to Lexi." Riley walked over to me and stood by me. I groaned in frustration at Vivian. "That was like six years ago. I'm happy with Riley. So please, if you're going to lecture me on 'how I could have done so much better', then please leave. I have the best already and I don't need you telling me how my life should've gone." Riley rubbed my back.

Vivian let out a laugh. "I just wanted to see who she was." I clenched my jaw. "Well you know her, so please, leave." Vivan looked at Riley. "How are you Rachel?" Riley stepped forward. "My name is Riley." She waved her hand. "Rachel, Riley. Same thing." I was pressing my middle finger and pointer finger to press against my temples. "Will you please leave?"

She looked at me surprised. "So much for a warm welcoming." I looked down and saw that Riley's fists were clenched. I walked over to her to calm her down but it was to late. "You need to pull your fucking head out of your ass! It's not a hat so don't where it as one! You need to realize that your nephew is happy. His happiness should make you happy! But I guess since your a psychopath, you wouldn't understand happiness. You clearly didn't know what it meant four years ago when you stole Corrie and Lou which was Colton's happiness at the time and you clearly don't want to see him happy again!"

Vivian shook her head and slammed her hand on the counter top. "Stop living in the past! Who cares if I took them, it's done and over with now." I stepped in between them. I pointed to Vivian. "You need to leave." Then I pointed to Riley, softening my tone. "And you go upstairs. I will be up in a minute princess." Riley flipped off Vivian before she walked upstairs. Vivian was still standing there looking like a lost cause.

"I said leave." She rolled her eyes and scoffed before walking out of the door. I locked the door behind her and ran upstairs to Riley. "Princess?" She looked up at me. "I was going to rip her head off." I lightly chuckled. "An angry Riley and pregnancy hormones don't mix well do they?" She gave me a soft smile.

"Scott had called earlier." I bit my lip. "What did he want?" She shrugged. "He said something about you're doing an album signing apparently." I ran a hand over my face. "I swear." Riley shrugged. "I can go with you if you want me to." I smiled. "I would love that."

She placed a soft kiss on my lips. "Get some sleep." I laid down next to her, pulling her into me. "Night princess. I love you." She gently ran a hand through my hair. "I love you more."

The next morning, I was up by six along with Riley who was currently standing under the water, hogging it all. "I need to smell good to you know." She smirked and spit water in my face. I pressed my lips to hers, distracting her.

I turned the water all the way to cold and backed away from her quickly. She let out a high pitch gasp and quickly turned the water back to hot. "You jerk!" I smiled. "Yeah but I'm your jerk." She moved out of the way so I could stand under the water. I placed my hand on her belly. Gently rubbing my thumb back and forth. "I can't wait till this little one is here." She smiled and placed her hand over mine.

"I was thinking about middle names, and I was thinking that we could maybe have it be Noah." I smiled and thought back. "That's great. You know, we've been parents since we were eighteen." She had tears in her eyes. "Yeah."

After we got out of the shower we had finished getting ready and we're now sitting in the booth for the radio show.

"Alright let's welcome Colton Blake here on 101.5. How are you doing today?" I grabbed Riley's hand and lightly ran my thumb over her knuckles. "Today has been great so far. Definitely excited about the release of my new album, and it's great to be here."

"Alright well, let's dive into this interview. Tell me about a project or accomplishment that you consider to be the most significant in your career." I smiled. "It would definitely be my last album because all the songs on that album have been about the hardships and blessings in my life. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm passionate about all of my albums but this last one tells most of the stories and I can't wait for you guys to hear the new one."

Riley had a content smile on her face. Scott was sitting across from us, filling out some papers. "That's great, we can not wait until your album comes out. Which by the way, it will be released tonight at midnight. So new question. So just to clear up all the rumors, is it true that you are now married and expecting a youngster?"

I lightly chuckled. "Well, I thought I had made that pretty clear in some of my Instagram posts and older interviews, but yes. I am now married and expecting." The lady smiled at me. "How sweet. So is this the girl?" I smiled. "Yeah, same one in the Instagram picture." The lady looked at Riley. "It would be wonderful if we could ask you some questions as well. Do you mind?" Riley looked at me, in return I gave her a smile and nodded.

"No, I don't mind at all."

"Can you tell us about early times in your guys' relationship?" Riley thought back. "We were in high school when we met, probably the most cliché love story. He was the new bad boy in town and I was the loser who was picked on. I hated the bad boy but then soon fell for him. It turned out that he was the sweetest guy I had ever met." The lady gushed. "That is so cute! So you're clearly not with him for the money, correct?" Riley clenched her jaw, while mine ticked.

"Okay look, not to sound harsh or anything but, I knew this man before he was famous, I knew him when he was struggling, and I have been with everything with him in these last four years. So please, if you want to keep believing everything the media tells you, then be my guest, just think about how not everything is always true."

I chuckled. "And that everyone was my amazing loving wife, in which most of my songs are about, anyways, next question."

The interview continued to drag on as the woman asked questions about my personal life, and newest album. When it was finally finished, I wrapped my arms around Riley in a tight hug. "Now for the really crazy part."

We had just returned home from the album signing. People came in with posters, magazines, old albums, some had me sign their clothes, and then of course take pictures with them. Riley was even asked if she could sign things.

"I just want to lie down." Riley said as we walked upstairs. "What do you want for dinner?" She shrugged. "Do we have any more chicken and rice?" I nodded. "Yeah. I'll bring it up here." I headed back downstairs, sauntering into the kitchen.

I quickly put together a plate and began warming it up in the microwave. When it was finished, I headed back upstairs with the plate, only to find Riley sleeping. I sighed and set the food down on a desk and walked over to her. I placed a kiss on her forehead. "Love you princess." My phone began ringing. I quickly silenced it before walking out of the room, not wanting to wake Riley. "Hello?" Scott was talking to someone in the background before he answered.

"Some people are not very happy about Riley."
