Ross' P.O.V
After a few hours at the amusement park, we went back to the bus. The bus pulled out a few minutes after we got back, we were like an hour away from our venue which is our third to final tour stop. Tomorrow we go to Boston and then back to New York.

I went to the media booth and found Ryan laying on the couch. He saw me and smiled

"Hey bubba" I smiled back then picked him up, he rested his head on my shoulder, I still felt a bit of warmth radiating off his body. I sat down and cradled him in my arms, I remembered the time I had a heat stroke, wasn't fun.

"How you feeling bubba?" I asked rubbing his back

"Hungers" he mumbled lightly

"Lucky for you, I bought food" I took him to the kitchen and got the chicken tenders from the counter. I tried sitting him down but he kept falling down to one side. Eventually I gave up and sat him on my lap, I used one arm to keep him up and the other to feed him. When he finished, I left him on the couch to throw away the trash.

"Ross, I'm taking the little one" Rocky says behind me

"Okay" I turned and they were already gone, "well then" I mumbled to myself. Seeing there's nothing to do, I grabbed my guitar and started strumming a tune.

Rocky's P.O.V
I took Ryan and went to Riker's bunk. I ripped open his curtain and he did a girly scream.

"Rocky! Privacy please!" He yelled

"Chill dude, just taking the little one to pick out a stuffed animal" I laughed

"Fine but seriously bro, I could have been doing something private" he rolled his eyes

"I know you don't jerk twice in one day"

"Rocky!" He gasped

"You're not that quiet!" I defended myself

"God, there's a child here!"

Ryan giggled in my arms, "you not quiet!" He pointed to Riker.

"Dude seriously, I love this kid" I laughed

"Ugh" Riker buried his face in one of his stuffed animals.

"Ryry, pick something from the pile" I kissed his forehead then put him down. He waddled over to Riker's bunk and climbed in. I watched as he played around with every stuffed animal. Suddenly, he jumped on Riker and sat on his stomach.

"I want this one!" He says hugging Riker

"But I'm not a stuff animal" Riker laughed

"You say something from the pile, papa is in the pile!" Ryan smarts

Riker looked at me and I shrugged, "He's not wrong"

"Okay buddy, I'm all yours" He patted Ryan's head

I left the "father and son" duo and joined Rydel and Ellington in the media booth.

"So? Did he pick out a stuffed animal?" Ellington asks when I sat down

"Yup, he picked Riker" I said grabbing the bag of chips on his lap.

"He named a stuffed animal Riker?" Rydel raised an eye brow

"No, I mean he leapt onto our older brother and claimed him" I explained everything and soon everyone was laughing. The room turned pretty quiet when we stopped, no one said anything it was pretty weird.

"So...." Ellington broke the silence

"Yeah...." I said slowly. Since no one said anything, I grabbed my laptop and opened it. The screen turned on, revealing an email.
