"Are you insane?!" I yell at Ross when he tells me he wants Andrew to live with him. "There is no way in hell I'm leaving my son in your hands."

"He's my son too. I have the right to live with him." He yells back.

"You weren't even there for him the past 2 years and you wouldn't be here now if I hadn't told you. You're crazy if you think you're taking Andrew away from me just because you got overly attached." I say in between gritted teeth.

"I work my ass off at the diner, have an internship at one of the most important therapy centers in the country, go to school and still manage to spend as much time with him as possible. You out of all people are not taking that away from me." I say getting in his face.

"Hey, hey, hey what's going on in here?!" Stormie and my mom walk into my room.

"Ross wants my son to stay here and live with him and there is no way in hell that's happening." I frown and they both sigh.

"Okay Syd, Andrew is downstairs crying for you, Ross we are going to talk." Stormie say and we both nod.

I walk out of my room and downstairs to the backyard where Andrew was. When I walk out rocky was sitting down with him trying to calm him down.

"Hey bud, what's wrong?" I cooed taking him in my arms.

"I couldn't find you so I got scared." He says in between sobs and I rub his back. "Oh, I was just upstairs talking with your dad." I say and sit next to Rocky. I mouth a Thank you and he nods.

Suddenly Andrews cries stopped and he fell asleep.

"I Heard what my brother and you were talking about." Rocky says breaking the silence and catching me off guard. "I'm sorry he's doing this to you."

"He's being a complete asshole but if he wants to go through with it he can. All I'm saying is that he's going have to take my son over my dead body because there is no way in hell in letting him take him." I tell Rocky and he nods.

"It's completely dumb, we have to go back on tour anyway." He shakes his head in disbelief of what his brother is doing.

~Ross pov~

I didn't get overly attached. Or did I? I was just overwhelmed. Ugh why do I always fuck shit up.

"Ok son, what's wrong? Why do you want to take Andrew away from Sydney?" My mom asks sitting besides me followed by Sydney's mom Marie.

"I don't." I shake my head. "I- it's just that when she told me Andrew was my son I had this whole idea in my head of having the perfect family with her. That night when I took Courtney home I broke up with her and now I want not only Andrew to stay but I also want Sydney to stay."

"Hun, you have to understand that you guys have gone through a lot. And maybe the way you threw this at her wasn't the best. I suggest you go down there and tell her how you really feel. Without arguing." Marie tells me and I nod.

They both motion me out and I stand up and walk out to where Sydney is. When I walk outside her and Rocky are talking while she has Andrew in her arms sound asleep.

"Sydney, can I speak to you?" I ask interrupting their conversation. She nods as rocky stands up and walks away. "What do you want to talk about?"

"I want to say I'm sorry for how I threw this at you. I don't want Andrew to stay with me, at least not without you here too. I want you both to stay here so we can be the family I've always dreamed of having with you." I reach out for her hand.

"I broke up with Courtney a few days ago when you told me about Andrew. I want to be the best I can be for you two. I'm sorry for all the times I've hurt you but please think about this. I know deep down you still love me just as much as I love you."

"I'm sorry Ross but as much as I want Andrews father with him as he grows I can't." She pulls her hand away and shakes her head.

"Sometimes people make choices and sometimes choices make them. As much as I do love you because I do. I can't do this. I'll make you a deal though. I'll go back to New York to finish school, you can visit Andrew when ever you'd like, when I finish college I'll move back here so Andrew can be closer with his father. But we are just his parents, nothing more nothing less, deal?"

She sticks out her free hand for me to shake. "Deal." I give her a small smile. I didn't quite get what I was going for but she'll be closer to me and that's all I want.
