Family Before Fame

Chapter 15

Ross POV

Ryland pulls me out into the hallway while I'm in the middle of eating my pizza.

"Ryland what's going on?" I question him.

"I talked to Rylee about this already and you have to promise not to tell anyone." Ryland stumbles on his words.

"You have me worried now." I am starting to get scared. "You better not have got a girl pregnant."

Ryland looks down at his converse that he always wears.

"Oh no." I gasp. He did get a girl pregnant just like me.

"I'm so sorry it wasn't all my fault." Ryland chokes out.

"Ryland Michael Lynch I can't believe it." I shake my head at him.

"I want to tell the rest of the family with her, but I wanted you're advice." Ryland pleads to me.

"Ok well if you really want to know my advice. Never let the girl go. Love the child like its your own life. Protect her and the little baby." I give my advice and I don't regret any of it, I definitely don't regret taking my advice almost two years ago.

"Thank you your like the best." Ryland hugs me.

"The best at what?" A voice says from behind us. We jump apart looking at our dad.

"The best at making me laugh." Ryland gives a fake laugh.

"Oh, Ross has always been good at that." Dad chuckles along with him. "Why don't you crack us a joke."

"Um...well I guess," I scratch my neck. "Why did Adele cross the road?" I ask them.

"I don't know." Ryland goes along with me.

"To say hello from the other side." I tell them. My dad looks at me funny and Ryland laughs at it.
"Oh maybe your not so good at it." Father jokes. "Anyways were getting ready to leave so you guys should probably come back inside." Dad suggests.

We nod and follow him back inside the hotel room where everyone was picking up. Rydel was holding Reese and Rylee was holding Raelynn. My mom was standing with them talking. I see all the guys are doing the work.

"Get to work you three." Stormie jokes from over on the other side of the room.

"Ok ok mother." I put my hands up in surrender.

Rylee doesn't laugh or say anything to the others as they talk. She keeps looking down at Raelynn who is awake trying to play with the necklace I got Rylee on valentines day last year. She looks so sad and I don't know what's wrong.

I hear Reese speaking to Rydel.

"Auntie I want ice crem." He looks at my sister with puppy eyes.

"We will definitely get some with mickey mouse." She promises.

"Mama I get ice crem." Reese looks over at Rylee.

She pulls on a fake smile and tells him that's great. Rydel frowns over at Rylee and mouths we will talk later.

"Ross your not helping." Riker messes with me and snaps in my face.

"Oh oops." I didn't realize that I wasn't paying attention to anything, but my wife.

"Daddy look." Reese yanks on my shirt and points to goofy.

"Oh wow its goofy." I smile at him.

"Let's go get a picture." Rylee suggests to us. "You know as a family."

We drag Rydel with us to take the picture. She rolls her eyes when Reese sticks his tounge out making a silly face. Goofy wraps an arm around Rylee and I. After Goofy signs the autograph book we bought for Reese we catch back up with the family.
