Feel Again (A OneRepublic/ Ryan Tedder Fanfic)

Meeting Copeland

As we walked out of the burger place, Ryan's phone goes off.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ryan, it's Genevieve."

"What's up? Are you guys ready to leave?"

"Yeah, we are."

"Alright, we're on our way right now."

"Oh, is your girlfriend coming?"

"Yeah. Is there a problem?"

"No. It's actually a good thing. I uh actually, want to apologize to her."

"Oh alright, well pack up some toys and the clothes we're on our way right now."

"Alright see you later."

"Okay bye."

He hangs up and grabs me by the hand. "Come on, we gotta go." He said.

We say our goodbyes to everyone, and get into the car. "I'm a little nervous in meeting Copeland." I said quietly as we drove off.

"Don't be nervous." He said squeezing my hand with his free hand.

We finally pull up to Genevieve and Sean's house. Ryan gets out of the car and walks towards the house but he stops in his tracks.

"Kimberly, you're not coming with me?" He asked raising an eyebrow at me.

"I don't want any problems Ryan." I said apologetically.

"Actually Genevieve wants to talk to you and apologize." He answered as walked towards me.

"Is that so?" I said raising an eyebrow at him and he nods.

"Come on." He said opening the car door and helping me out of the car.

He places his hand in mine and the two of us walk to the front door, Ryan ringing the doorbell.

We hear Genevieve coming down the stairs shouting. "I'm coming hold on!"

The door swings open. Genevieve is standing there holding Copeland in her arms.

"Hey guys, come inside I just have to get Copeland's backpack." She said. Both Ryan and I glance at each other, and walked inside.

She sets Copeland down, and quickly runs upstairs. "Hi daddy!" Said Copeland as he runs towards Ryan.

"Hey kiddo! I've missed you so much." He answered as he swung his son is his arms. It was such a touching moment.

Ryan puts him down and walks towards me with little Copeland clinging to his leg.

"Come on Cope, let me go. I have someone I want you to meet." Said Ryan smiling at him. He lets go of his leg, but still hides behind him.

Ryan moves out of the way and I see the little blonde hair, green-eyed boy clutching his dinosaur toy.

"Copeland, this is Kimberly. Kim, this is my son." Said Ryan in excitement.

Before I opened my mouth to say hi, Genevieve comes downstairs with a his backpack and hands them to Ryan. "His clothes, toys, and blanket are in his backpack. If there's an emergency, just call me alright?" She said in a stern voice. I mean I would be too if I had a son or daughter.

As Ryan, Copeland, and I headed out for the door, Genevieve grabs me by the hand. Oh crap! What's she gonna say to me now? I mean I know she doesn't like me.

"What's going on?" Asked Ryan as he noticed I hadn't followed him out the door.

"Nothing I'm just going to talk to Kimberly. Don't worry about it Ryan." Answered Genevieve and she pulls me to the side.

"Listen Kimberly, I'm very sorry for what happened the other day. I just wasn't being myself. I had been fighting with my boyfriend lately and I-"

I cut her off. "Listen Genevieve, Ryan told me that you wanted to apologize for what happened and I just wanted to say, that its okay. I see that you're happy with Sean and Ryan is happy with me." I answered coolly.

"Yeah, you're right! Um here's my number in case of an emergency with Copeland." She said writing down her phone number on a piece of paper and handing it to me.

"Thanks." I said in surprise. As I walked to the car. Ryan looks at me funny.

"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

He looks down at Copeland, then at me and I realize what he meant.

"Oh right! Sorry." I said embarrassed and he chuckles.

"Hey Copeland, you wanna sit with me?" I asked him sweetly.

He looks at me and nods. He's so quiet and shy. I wonder if Ryan himself was like this too. I know I was. I mean I still am. I sit in the front seat and pull him onto my lap and strap in the seatbelt over us. Ryan puts Copeland's bag in the back seat of his car, gets in and we drive off.

The entire drive back to Ryan's house was just fun but yet the entire time I was just staring at the both of them. It's amazing how much they look alike. They even have the same hairstyle.

"Honey, I swear its like a looking at a little version of you." I said smiling at both Ryan and Copeland.

Copeland looks at me and hands me his dinosaur.

"Aww for me?" I said in surprise. He just smiles and nods at me.

I take it and he smiles at me more.

"Thank you Copeland." I said sweetly.

We finally got to Ryan's house and I help Ryan by carrying Copeland as he fell asleep in the car. The moment we step foot into Ryan's house, he wakes up.

"Dad, I'm hungry." Said Copeland as he yawned.

"What do you want to eat kiddo?" Asked Ryan as the three of us walked into the kitchen.

"Hmmm I don't know dad."

"You want a grilled cheese sandwich kiddo?" Asked Ryan and Copeland nods.

I go over to the counter and sit next to his son.

"So Copeland, what's your favorite color?"

"I like blue and you?"

"I like purple."

"Purple is a girly color."

"Well I am a girl."

Ryan makes the three of us grilled cheese sandwiches and and we all sit in the living room watching some TV. After the we finished eating and the movie was over, Copeland turns to us and said, "Dad, I'm tired. I wanna go to sleep."

"Alright kiddo, lets get you changed and put you to sleep." Said Ryan as he took Copeland upstairs.
