What do I have to do? (A Riker Lynch/ R5 love story)

I told you so

AN: I don't know the names of R5's cousins so I am making them up.

Lucy's POV

The next morning I woke up to an empty bed. I quickly change and make my way to the living room where I am met by a wonderful sight. The whole of the family with their cousins. Well, the whole family excluding Riker. I feel a slight tug on my trousers and look down to see little Jessica looking up at me. My face lights up and I bend down to her level. "Hey there Jess! How are you?" I say in my 'child' voice. She starts to laugh and wraps her small arms around my neck. I take her small body in my arms and stand up and making my way over to the couch and sit down with Jess on my lap. I look up at Rydel, Ross, Rocky and Ryland leaving the room and following their mom. "Hold on Jess. I'll be back in a second" I say as I put her down on the floor and follow them. They stop outside mine and Riker's room and I can hear the click of Ross's camera. I peer in to see Riker on our bed with Charlie (aka 'mini Riker') with his guitar around his shoulders and Charlie staring up at him in awe as Riker plays and sings his favourite McFly song.

Little Joanna has big blue eyes

Coconut cream and coffee coloured thighs

I could die lying in her arms

Where castles are made of sand

We start to dance

But only music is beating 

And crickets replace the band.

She will always be my Sunkist trampoline

She goes up and down in my heart

Turned into jelly beans

And I'm starting to believe that danger's never near

When Joanna is here.

God I love Joanna

But she don't understand much

I love it when our hands touch

Knowing that I'm near

Apple flavoured lip-gloss

Achilles wears a necklace

Feeling young and reckless

When Joanna's here

Little Joanna has big blue eyes

Coconut cream and coffee coloured thighs

I could die lying in her arms

Where castles are made of sand

We start to dance

But only music is beating 

And crickets replace the band.

She will always be my sun-kissed trampoline

She goes up and down in my heart

Turned into jelly beans

And I'm starting to believe that danger's never near

When Joanna is here.

Riker finishes and  he takes Charlie into his arms. "Riker?" Ask Charlie "Yeah little guy?" "Is there a 'Joanna' in your life?" He continues sweetly. Riker laughs slightly. "Yeah... There is" he says looking right at me and I come in and sit next to him. "Hey Charlie. Gosh look how big you have gotten" I say as Charlie crawls over Riker's lap and onto mine. "Hey, Lucy! So you and Riker are like mommy and daddy?" He asks "Almost" Riker says before kissing my lips which caused Charlie to make noises and jump off my lap. Riker and I burst out laughing at his antics as he leaves the room and the rest of the family follow him. "I told you so" I say with a smile. "What?" "I told you that you would be a great dad" I explain. We lean in but I retract because I felt a pain in my stomach. Riker gives me a questioning look and I silently take his hand and place it on the spot where the child kicked. It kicks again and I see Riker's face light up with pure and raw emotion. He then kisses my forehead. "I still find it hard to believe that we are going to be a family" he murmurs.

Five months later...

Riker's POV

"So Riker, Lucy is near her due date isn't she? That must make you fairly nervous?" I was asked by a fan at our soundcheck in Boston. "Err... Well yeah, of course cause knowing my kind of luck something could go very badly wrong" I answer. "But I try not to think about that" I clarify. Thankfully that was the last question and we made our way backstage to prepare for the show.

"R5...R5...R5...R5...R5" I hear the crowd chantting as we all gather together. "All right lets have an amazing show and give them something to remember" I say as we put our hands in the center "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, READY, SET, ROCK!" We all say before we head out to screaming fans. 

This. Is. It.

About half way through our set my dad comes on stage. "Riker. We have to get Lucy to the hospital. She is going into labour" he says. I stare at him and stop playing entirely. Everyone else shoots me looks as if to say 'what the hell?' Ross stops singing and everything goes quiet. "A-are you serious?" I say to him. He didn't have to answer becasue I heard Lucy's screams from off stage. "Oh. My. God. Guys I have to go. Lucy has just gone into labour" I say into my mic before I try to get past my dad. However he stops me. "What the heck!?" I ask astounded about what he was doing. "You have a show to do. You can see her when it is over" "But I'll miss the birth of my child!" I exclaim. Rocky and Ross move to my side and get my dad out of the way, so I make a run for it.  I call over a taxi when I get outside and text my mom to ask which hospital Lucy was being taken to. When I get the reply I tell the driver. "Any reason that you are heading there?" I smile slightly. "My fiance is about to give birth to our first child." I explain fondly. "Well congratulations" the driver said. We continued the journey in silence until the car comes to an abrupt halt. "What happened?" I ask. "Traffic which is going to take some time to shift" he answers. I stare at him. "You have got to be kidding me" I say as I stare out of the window to see line upon line of cars. I pull out my phone and call my mom. Thankfully she picked up. "Riker where are you?" she asks "on my way" I answer as I unbuckle myself. "Well hurry up 'cause Lucy is close and she is very scared" she continues as I run my free hand through my hair. "How far from the hospital are we?" "One hour walking" "mom, tell her these exact words 'I am not going to abandon her now' and tell her..." I look at the driver "Tell her I love her" I finish before hanging up and starting to run through the traffic.

Lucy's POV

"We are going to have to start now or else the child won't make it" the nurse says. I look up at Stormie and take her hand. She gets down to my level. "I'm scared" I whisper. I know that Riker is coming. He wouldn't leave me now. I say to myself over and over in my head. "When I count to three you need to push" I am told. "One, two, three!" I start to use as much force as my body will allow. Every time my grip on Stormie's hand increasing. I whimper when the contact is lost. Finally I am told that I can relax. The job is done. I see Stormie talking to one of the doctors. The nurse comes back with a bundle of cloth. "Congraulations, its a boy" she says as she hands him to me. I take him in my arms. Suddenly the door opens to reveal a slightly out of breath Riker. I smile widely at him as he rushes to my side. He stops slightly short of the bed. "Come 'ere Rike and say hello to your son" I say invitingly. He comes closer as I move over on the bed and allow him to sit next to me. He lets out a long breath. "Is that in awe or because you are out of breath?" I asks "Bit of both" he answers softly as he stares lovingly down at our son. I laugh slightly. He looks at me and our eyes meet. He leans in and sweetly kisses my lips. When we break apart I smile. "Do you want to hold him?" I ask. His eyes widen in fear. "Don't worry. Hold out your arms..." he does so and I place the newest Lynch in his arms. "Make sure you support his head" I add as Riker brings him closer to his chest. "Riker?" "Yeah?" "Wake me up when your family arrive?" "Of course. Sleep well baby girl" he answers while placing the child into the crib near my bed as I snuggle into my blankets and close my eyes.
