Chad's POV

April 28, 1994

Vancouver Memorial Hospital

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kroeger, but your girlfriend didn't make it. But you have a 6 pound 8 ounce baby girl in the nursery." The doctor says and I stand up, following him to the Nursery.

"Here she is." He says, handing me my daughter, who opens her eyes and I see that they resemble my own and smile down at her as her tiny hand grabs some of my long blonde hair and pulls it and I wince in pain.

"Jo, what are you watching?" I ask as I walk in and see that the World Trade Center has been attacked and freeze as my phone starts to ring and I grab it, and hear Ryan's voice on the other end.

"You seeing this bullshit too?" He asks and I say yes as I switch the channel to Disney for Jo and walk out to the balcony to talk to Ryan.

"You're the only one who knows that!" My now 10 year old daughter sings into the karaoke machine that Vik had got her for her birthday And I smile as she dances around with the Mic in her hand.

"She's just like you, Chad." Mike says as I carry her birthday cake outside and I nod.

"Yeah, can't believe I was 20 when she was born." I say, not regretting creating her.

"Maybe she can go on tour with us." He says and I nod.

"Yeah, maybe." I say and she runs over to me and I pick her up.

"You mean it?!" Jo asks as she smiles at me widely and I nod.

"Yes, Jo. I want you to be my guitar tech. You learned everything from me anyways." I say and she screams yes real loud and I laugh as I pull her into a hug.

Jo's POV

"Thanks baby girl." Dad says as he takes his Dark Horse guitar and I get the next one ready for him as they play Burn It To The Ground.

I've been Dad's guitar tech for 3 years now and it's actually fun.

Ryan, though has been flirting with me lately and I must confess, I love Ryan. Not like an uncle, but as more.

I'm afraid to tell him and get rejected by him though.
