Hunter's POV.

"So you mean Riley cant get pregnant?" I asked James. He shook his head, "No she cant, but that doesn't mean she wont later on, just not right now." He said.  "Wow that must be hard on her." Eldon stated. "Yea it's a sensitive subject for her." says James.  "Dude, she must feel awful because all of the girls except Thalia and Chloe either have or will have a baby." West states. "I am going to go find her." James exclaims and gets up and goes inside. "Man, He's struggling a lot." I confess.  "Forgot about James how about Riley?" Eldon states.

"Dude she's taken and so are you! Stop with the whole Riley thing!" I state. "Fine, but you have to agree with me that she is hot! James is lucky!"  "James would kill us if he knew we were talking about Riley like this!" I exclaimed. "Besides we have wife's!" "Well I don't." West claims. "But Eldons right, Did you see her tonight!" Daniel comments.  "STOP!" I commanded.  "Ok we will, but no one tells James anything about what we just said." Luke stated.

Riley's POV
I am sitting in my bedroom with Michelle just talking and then James walks in. "Riles, there you are!" He says. I look down to my hands. He came over and I stood up.

"Ri, I am so sorry." He exclaimed. "No James, I am so sorry that I can't do everything! Maybe you should find someone who can." I said to him angry but sad at the same time. "Ri, I.." I cut him off. "I don't want to hear it. Go back down stairs and go tell the boys what a horrible wife I am!" He just stood there with his head down.

"Fine, I am going down stairs to talk with my friends. Let's go Michelle." Michelle got up and followed me downstairs. "Hey Emily!" I said to get her attention. She looked at me and I gave her a sign to come here. She came over to me. "Riley? What's wrong?"  "Can I talk to you privately?" "SNS?" she asks (Sister needs Sister)  I nodded. I  brought her to one of the guest bedrooms. "Emily, I uh.. need to know if your staying the night?" I said.

"Um.. yea I believe Hunter asked James and he said it was fine." "Oh ok no problem." I tell her.  "Riley, That isn't what you wanted to talk to me about was it?" Emily asks.  "Um.. I over heard James talking to the boys about he wishes we didn't own the studio and that he feels second place to me and he said that it's annoying that I cry a lot." I told her.

"Oh Ri, don't cry! James is a jerk." She states. "Let's go back to the party before the girls will start wondering were we are." She says

James POV.
After everyone has left (except the people staying at our house) Everyone decides to go to bed because it is almost midnight.

I went upstairs to go get ready for bed and I try to open the door but it was locked. "Riley! Let me in!" I whispered/yelled. "No, Have fun sleeping on the couch!" She said sassy. "Riley, Ok I'm sorry!" "Did you not hear what I just said?" She asked. "Ok fine, Can I just get some shorts and maybe a t- shirt?" It was quiet for a minute. I heard the door unlock and she shoved the clothes in my hands and then slammed the door in my face.

  "Goodnight! I say sarcastically. I change in the powder bathroom downstairs and then got comfy on the couch and fell asleep.

Riley's POV.

I woke up at 6:00 to get ready to take Stephanie to the airport and to make a quick breakfast for her. I went downstairs and Stephanie's door was open so I went into her room.

"Hey Steph? I am just going to make a quick breakfast and we can stop at Starbucks on our way ok?" "Ok Thanks Ri." She said. I walk to the kitchen and I made breakfast as quietly as I could because I didn't want to wake James.

I was not ready to face him yet. Stephanie and I made a quick stop to Starbucks. I ordered for me and Steph and then everyone back at the house. I paid for the coffees and then dropped Stephanie off, I said goodbye to her and thanked her for coming then I headed home. 

I came home around 7:20. I walk in with the drinks and James, Emily and Hunter are sitting on the couch talking and James is holding Nathen. "Hey, Anyone want coffee?" They turned around, "Oh hey did you get me a tea?" Emily said  I know Emily doesn't drink coffee so I got her a Chi Latté. "Here Em." She took the Latté and thanked me.

I gave James his coffee, he should be lucky I Even got him one and Hunter his drink as well. Thalia walked in and I gave her the only iced coffee and then I got started on breakfast.
James followed me into the kitchen. "Thanks for the coffee Ri." He said. "Yea no problem." "Are you going into the studio today?" James asks. "I was planning on it." I told him. "Ok I will come with you." He said. "No James, I don't want you to come in today. Go and goof off with Hunter today." I said trying not to get mad. "You sure?" "Yes completely." I answered.

Emily's POV
I was talking to James about the things that he said  yesterday to make sure they were true because Riley can  overreact and make the problem bigger then it actually is but then
Riley came in and handed us our drinks. "Nathen is so cute with his chubby cheeks!" Thalia said. "Can I hold him?" "Sure." I answered.

James gave Nathen to Thalia and went into the kitchen where Riley was. "Hey, Do you know what's wrong with Riley? She doesn't seem herself, especially yesterday at the party?." Thalia asked quietly. I shrugged and told her I didn't know, but I kinda did know but that's between Riley and me as sisters and nobody should know.

  Riley called us to come and eat. Breakfast was great because it was my grandmothers recipe for French toast and James said he was going to the gym with Hunter. So it was just us girls and my baby.

"Well I am going to the studio." Riley said. "Wait right now?" Thalia commented. "Yea so? I can't cancel dance when Internationals is coming up." Riley said  "Oh I was just hoping we could go do something while i was back." What do you want to do?" Riley asked Thalia. "Umm..." Thalia thought. I cut in before Riley could get mad. "How about we see the studio and Riley can show us around and Thalia you could teach the kids some moves that you learned in Africa?" I suggest. "Yea sure let's go." Riley said.

Riley's POV.
I arrived at the studio with the girls. I showed them all of the changes that we have made to the studio and told them about the music studio that was downstairs and how the dancers watch them perform and the musicians watch the kids dance sometimes.

It's is actually Luke (James previous band mate) who took over Lost and found after Mr. T the previous owner stepped down and gave it to Luke. The dancers soon arrived and I introduced Thalia and Emily to them and told them that Thalia was going to be helping out today and Emily was just holding Nathen watching from the benches.

Some of the Girls gathered around Emily and Oohed and Awwed over her baby. I could tell Emily liked the attention. "Were is James?" Jake asked. Umm he's at home with some friends. I told him. Piper stared at me weirdly, but I didn't pay attention.

"Anyways, there is only 3 weeks till internationals. This year it is a requirement to do the exchange program." I told A Troupe.

"Have you decided who's going?" Richelle asks. "Yes I have. Cassie you will be going to the Norway." I told everyone. "What?!"!Cassie exclaims. "Why me?" Because you don't have a Solo, Duet or a small group to rehearse for and you already have the simi finals and the Finals routine memorised really well and I believe you could do it blindfolded." I told her. "You leave this week." "But my parents actually have a thing next week and they don't want me to miss it so I can't go." Cassie smiles. "Actually I have already talked to your parents and they said they were so excited you have this opportunity, so it's all good." I smile back.

"Riley, if Cassie's leaving to go to Norway then who is coming here?" Richelle asks. "Oh I forgot About that. All I know is that a boy is coming from the America team." The girls got super excited about that, I hope it won't create drama.

Pipers POV.
I actually helped Riley pick who was going to Norway. She didn't know who to pick so she let me pick and I picked Cassie.

I know she is one of my best friends but lately she has been lying and talking about her boyfriend  a lot and I am sick of it. It's my boyfriend this, my boyfriend that. I am kinda glad she's leaving for a week and I am super excited about an American coming. I hope he's cute!
