*HALEY'S POV.*

"We... are gonna have a baby." We all screamed and ran over to hug them. "Tori is three months pregnant." Riker finished. I hugged Tori, "Oh my gosh congratulations. He/she is going to be adorable!" Then I went over to Riker. I opened my arms and he picked me up. I squeezed him tight, "I'm so happy for you guys. You make the cutest kids." "Thanks squirt. I'm pretty excited, too." "Did Lily know?" "Yep." He put me down and I kissed his cheek and walked over to Lily who was playing with her dolls on the floor. "You are such a good little secret keeper." "Mommy and daddy told me if I could keep a secret I could get this new doll." Of course. "Ahh." I kissed her head and walked over to Ross. "Another little Lynch running around." I beamed. "Yeah, I can't wait to have my own little mini-me running around." Ross had sparkles in his eyes. "Now those are going to be some cute little kids." "Well of course they will be. Cause you'll be the mom." "You really think so?" I half grinned. "I know so, baby girl." I wrapped my arms around his waist and kissed his nose. "I love you." "I love you too." "Oh hey, guess what?" "What?" His eyebrow twitched. "Remember our bet, you owe me a smoothie and a massage." "Oh yeah huh." I stuck my tongue out at him. "Tomorrow, after I teach you how to play hockey." "Okay." I grinned. We heard the tink of a glass cup. "On that same note..." Rydel started. "You're not pregnant, too, are you?!" Rocky started freaking out. "No no no. Not yet." She shook her head and everyone laughed. "Ellington and I are engaged." She held up her hand and we all screamed again. Today's a good day. "But we are gonna wait a year to get married, so we can finish touring and stuff." I walked up to her. "I'm so happy for you!" I squeezed Rydel way tight. "Thanks baby cakes." She winked at me and I walked over to Ell. We did our little handshake thing and I gave him a big hug, too. "It's about time, slack. You better treat her right." "Always have, always will." I smiled and punched his arm lightly. "Alright food time!" Rocky yelled and we all went outside. Everything was set up perfectly in order, typical Mark. The pizza on one end of the table, then the salad, fruit, utensils, plates, cups, and napkins. Then they had tables set up as far from the pool as they could get. On one of the tables sat my cake. Ross didn't notice till after we got our food. "What is that?" "A cake." "It looks like the one you made for your friend." "Alright so it is her birthday but the cake is for you. It's just a little thank you for being the best boyfriend ever." We walked over to it and Ross smelled it and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. "Yum!" I smiled at him and went to sit down. Ross quickly pulled my chair our for me and I sat down. He sat down next to me and I kissed his cheek. When I started eating my food, Ellie and Rocky came over to sit by us. Yeah there was a cake in our way but we managed.

When everyone was done eating Ross carried around the trash can and Rocky and Ellie helped Ryland and Savannah clean up the food. I walked inside to get a knife for the cake. I found the perfect size knife and I walked back outside. "Cake time!" Ross yelled. "As I said, you are a kid trapped inside an adult body." He shrugged and licked his lips. I cut a fairly big piece for him and put it in him plate. He immediately dug in and I kissed his head. "Thank you." He said with a mouth full of cake. "Of course. Thank you for being the best boyfriend ever." I turned to face everyone else. "Anyone else want cake?" The boys were the first ones to come over. I gave them each a piece just smaller than Ross'. "Thanks Hay." "Thanks kid." "Thanks squirt." "Thanks sis." They each kissed my cheek and walked back to their girls. Then I felt a tug on my shirt. I turned around and looked down. "Aunt Haley, can I have some?" "Of course, Lily." I cut her a smaller piece and handed her the plate and a fork. She hugged my leg and ran over to her mom. "Stormie, Mark, do you guys want any?" "No thank you sweetie." Stormie smiled. "'I'll have a small piece." Mark walked over and kissed my forehead as I gave him his cake. "Thank you." "Oh yeah, no problem. It wasn't even that hard to make." I shrugged. "Thank you for being such an amazing future daughter-in-law." I blushed and managed to smile before he walked away. Ellie and Sav walked over and got a piece and walked back to the boys. There was only a little bit of cake left so I gave some to Riker to take home for Lily and the rest was gonna come home with Ross and I. I sat next to Ross and watched everyone happily eat their cake. Wow, how did I get so lucky to meet these people and become part of their lives?
