Ross's POV:
After Laura told me about me being the twins father, all of us just caught up on our own lives since then. Now I'm waving goodbye to the rest of the band and Ryland as they head back to the tourbus. I shut the door and turn towards Laura who's standing next to me "About that kiss...." I say as I walk towards her and she backs up until her back hits the wall and I put my hands on each side of her head so that she's pinned against the wall "W-what are you doing?" She stutters "So do you want me to kiss you? Cuz if you don't, I'll just back away." I say and start leaning in. Her hands find my waist just as our lips connect. She pulls me closer and molds her body to mine "Laura." I say roughly against her lips and she wraps her arms around my neck and plays with the hair at the back of my neck and I shiver. A couple minutes later we pull away and I lean my forehead against hers with my eyes still closed and take a deep breath "Wow." I whisper and she slides her hands down to my chest "So what just happened?" She says "Well, you started begging me to kiss you so I did." I say cockily and flip my hair and she giggles and pushes my chest "Yeah right. I did no-" she's cut off by screaming and my eyes widen "Is that one of the boys?" I ask and she runs down the hallway and I hurry and follow her

Laura's POV:
I run into the boys' room and see Riley laying on his bed holding his hand and crying "Mommy! It hurts!" He says and I rush over and look at his hand which I now realize is bleeding "What happened?" I hear Ross say from behind me "Me and Riley were playing with our action figures under our beds and he cut his hand on a sharp piece under the bed." Ryder says and I pick up Riley and carry him into the bathroom down the hall and sit him on the counter "I'm going to put some stuff on your hand to clean it, okay?" I say and he sniffs and nods "Okay." He says weakly. I put some peroxide on it then put an extra large Band-Aid over the cut on his palm "All better." I hear a deep voice say from behind me say and I look up to see Ross holding Ryder on his hip as they watch us from the bathroom doorway "Is he okay?" Ryder asks and I help Riley down then walk over to Ryder "He's fine." I say and kiss his cheek "Can we watch a movie in the living room?" Riley asks quietly and I nod

Ross's POV:
Laura gets the boys settled watching 'Cars' in the living room. I pull her into the kitchen "What?" She asks and leans against the counter "How'd you stay calm when Riley was bleeding?" I ask and she laughs "Ryder broke his arm last year jumping off the swing set. He definitely got your daredevil stuff. Riley is more like me, he's more laid-back than Ryder is." She says and I walk closer and put my hands on each side of the counter "Ma'am, I heard you stole something." I say in a horrible western accent and she giggles and rests her hands on my hips "And what would that be?" She says and I lean closer "My heart." I whisper and she looks shocked "You love me? B-but I thought that once I left, you wouldn't want anything to do with me anymore." She says "After you left I cried for weeks and wouldn't come out of my room. I would go over to your house and look in your room for clues to see if I could figure out why you left. Once we were on tour, after every show, I would hide in my bunk and sometimes in the middle of a song during a show I would forget the lyrics or switch them around or something," I say and lean closer "I was going crazy without you." I whisper the last part and she smiles as a tear falls down her cheek and I gently wipe it away "I love you, Laura." I say as I lean in and kiss her. She wraps her arms around my neck and I slide my hands around her narrow waist. I hear little feet running into the kitchen and I pull away from her and take a couple steps back right as Riley walks in. He looks at me and scrunches his nose "Why are you wearing lipstick?" He asks and Laura giggles as I quickly wipe the lipstick off my lips "I was just trying some of your mommy's lipstick." I say and Laura's face turns red and she throws a dish towel at me and I chuckle "Mommy, can I have some GoGurt?" He asks and I can't help but bust-out laughing "Sure. Take one to your brother too." She says and gets two of them out of the fridge and hands it to Riley and he runs back into the living room. Laura looks at me and grins as she shakes her head "It's not that funny." She says and pokes my side and I stop laughing and pull her against my chest "It's actually kinda cute." I say and she wraps her arms around my neck "When are me and the boys going to meet your parents again?" She asks and I kiss the tip of her nose "How about tomorrow?  We actually have to head home the day after tomorrow." I say and she looks up at me as she slowly backs away "Then I think maybe you should go ahead and leave. I don't want the boys getting attached to you and then you leave. We've already been through enough." She says and I feel a lump forming in my throat "Laura, they're my kids. I want them to get attached to me. Please don't do this. I want us to be a family. Please, Laur." I say and she looks at me with tears coming down her face "Please just leave, Ross." She says and I reach out to touch her but she pulls away and turns her back to me "Just leave. Please." I hear her say and I feel tears falling down my cheeks as I walk through the house and out her front door. I start walking down the sidewalk towards the tourbus as the tears fall unstrained down my face
