I didn't even have to knock twice. The door flung open and before I could see who opened it, I was crushed in a hug by four guys all at once.

"Kellin!" I felt being whispered into my ear quickly. Tony, Mike, and Jaime let go, but Vic continued to hug me. We stayed hugging for about a minute more and then Vic let go, so I did too.

"I missed you," I said softly, then continued, "A lot."

"I missed you so much more, Kellin." He said, smiling. A surprised face painted itself onto Vic's perfect features. "OH! Stay here!" He said quickly and ran into the room.

*Vic's POV* 

I ran into the room and grabbed my acoustic guitar and the song book that I had written the song I named "Sorry" in. I ran back out as fast as possible and got to Kellin after what seemed forever (even though it was only 20-30 seconds).

I lead him over to this big weird fountain thingy and we sat on the ledge as I played the song for him.

~~

"Y-you want me to have that song?" Kellin asked with tears welling in his eyes and an amazing smile on his face.

"Yeah, it'll be good. It doesn't sound exactly right with my voice."

"Your voice is perfect, Vic." He leaned in slowly and kissed me.

"Even if it was, it's not as good as yours." I ripped out the page with the song and handed it to him. "Learn it. Then put it on your new record." I said, smiling.

(A/N:
I've been really, really blocked. I'm sorry I haven't updated. I'm discontinuing this fic, though. If anyone liked (or actually read) it, I apologize. Basically, I'll give you an ending (I can't promise it'll be happy, but I'll try) and that's that :3 )

~Transition, of course~
*Kellin's POV*
After the baby was born, Adelie had let me name her. I chose Copeland because it inspired me to start my band. I wanted our daughter to be unique. Maybe even musical as well.  I thought it had a nice ring. Copeland Quinn. I smirked to myself. 

Vic came walking in as I was holding my daughter. We had gotten her for the weekends and holidays. Of course Adelie also got invited over for holidays, but she said she felt she was invading. Vic or I didn't even mind; we were totally cool. We had moved in together. Oh, and guess what.

We got engaged.

I honestly loved him with all of me. He was probably the best thing that ever happened to me. We were going to get married soon. It's going to be great. I actually can't wait. We're getting married in California, as it isn't legal in Florida. At least Vic's family will be there. You can definitely bet on bands playing at the wedding. There might be some King For A Day in the performances as well. I would wink, but that'd be kind of weird, considering this isn't actual real life. It's reading...so...yeah.

Anyway, back to Copeland. She is the sweetest little girl in the world! And when Vic holds her and plays with her- oh god. It's perfect, to say the least. The way they coo at each other, it's so cute. And the smiles on their faces. Vic's a perfect parent. Step parent. Whatever, he acts if Copeland was his own. It's adorable. The guys in the bands love her too. She's just a friendly little ladybug.

 Vic interrupted my thoughts by asking me a question. "What's up?" He had asked.

"Nothing really, sitting here with Cope. Thinking."

"What about?" He asked, visibly curious.

"About how perfect everything is. I have my album out. I have Cope. I have you."

Vic blushed and pecked my cheek. He softly took Copeland from my arms and kissed her forehead while he rocked her.

*Adelie's POV*

Lately I've been thinking about letting Kellin have full custody of Copeland. I have a full time job and I'm not sure if I can handle a kid. Kellin and Vic are more mature. And loving. Whenever I take her there, they always look so delighted to see her. The first time I had brought her over, They had a 'welcome home' party for her. With a bunch of band members there. Ronnie Radke was actually there with Willow. The whole thing was actually really sweet. I wanted to be that kind of parent. 

~Another transition, sorry ;^o^~

By March, I had gotten a new job and was able to take care of Copeland. During the time i had that other shitty job, Kellin and Vic were more than happy to watch Copeland. Honestly, I think that she's happier with them.

 *Vic's POV*

Adelie had passed away due to pneumonia not long after Cope's first birthday. I felt bad for Copeland, y'know, not getting more time with her mom. But in a way, I was happy. Copeland really grew on me. Yeah, it'd be hectic with Copeland having to go on tour with us, but it's not like we were always on tour. We actually had a lot of free time.

Mike has been trying to teach Cope drums. He said it's never to early for music. Tony agreed, of course. Because why would you go against something that saved you, yourself? Vic sang her to sleep every night really. Copeland had usually slept with us. Kellin and Cope looked really adorable and peaceful when they were cuddled up together, sleeping.

I loved Copeland like she was my own child, even though she was definitely not. That didn't stop me from playing with her and cuddling up with her, though. 

(OK, that's the end I guess. I wish I could continue this, but It's getting put aside too much and I feel like a guy with tampons. So I figured if I wasn't actually going to do anything with the story, I might as well end it. Let your imaginations run. Build your own ending. c: Nothing's ever really over.)

(Wait, sorry if this sucks, sorry I was trying to be optimistic, but that was really corny sounding, and yeah. Also, I've been obsessed with Never Shout Never recently. So that explains the link at the side sO LISTEN TO IT AND LOVE IT BECAUSE I CALLED COPELAND A LADYBUG JUST SO I COULD ADD A NEVER SHOUT NEVER REFERENCE OK BYE I LOVE  YOU GUYS :3 )
