James

Life returned to normal, well as normal as our life tends to be. Riley is smashing Riley's Corner again. Lost and Found are thriving. The Band's album came out about a month ago
Life was great
"Hey" Riley smiled coming into the rose room. It was the end of her work day and she'll tend to hangout here until I'm finished but she looks utterly exhausted 
"You okay?" I asked pulling her straight onto my lap the moment she joined me
"Yeah, just a little tired" She said yawning
"Why don't you head home Ri? I can meet you there" I said and she pouted making me chuckle

"You can survive without me for a couple hours babe" I said tapping her nose
"Are you coming straight home?" She asked and I nodded making her smile
"Want to pick up a chinese on your way?" She asked with a little glee in her tone, I chuckled nodding
"Sure if it means you'll go home and rest" I said making her nod frantically before pressing our lips together

I was finishing up with the guys when they all started looking at me like they had something they needed to tell me
"What's up?" I asked and they all sighed looking at me
"The label called us this morning" They said making me raise my brow, confused as to why this was an issue
"Okay?" I asked

"They want us to go on tour for 8 weeks in a couple months" Luke said making me widen my eyes
"I don't know what to say" I said, I mean we didn't have anything planned in the next 8 weeks and Riley are in a good place
I just don't know what she would say about me leaving
"Can I have some time to talk to Ri about it?" I asked and they nodded
"But make sure you actually talk to her about it James. We'll know if you don't" John warned probably referring to all the other occasions

But things are different now. Things are stronger, better, perfect
I picked up mine and Riley's usual order from the chinese before heading home.
The moment I walked in, I saw Riley asleep on the sofa, she didn't even manage to make it upstairs. Lately she's been more and more tired, I've tried telling her to lessen her schedule. Since we got back she's been making up for lost time and barely has the time for lunch lately 

"Ri" I whispered rocking her slightly, she stirred slightly sitting up smiling. I couldn't tell if she was smiling at the smell of the food of the fact I was home
"Hey" she whispered laying her head back on my lap as I sat down
"Did you sleep good?" I asked and she shook her head pouting
"my back is being a pain" She said cuddling up closer
"Ri, you need to stop pushing yourself so much" I warned her

She nodded humming in response
"I called Kate and lessened my schedule" She said making me look down at her as I played with her hair
"Really?" I asked and she nodded
"I'm going to a bit busy for sometime" She said making me look at her confused
"Doing what?" I asked and she shrugged

Riley and I sat there for a bit, the food was getting cold but I don't think either of us were concerned
"Ri, I have something to tell you" I said making her look up at me no longer in a sleepy state
"What's up?" She asked 
"The Label want the boys and I to go on an 8 week tour" I said making Riley sit up
"What? When?" She asked and I shrugged
"I don't know many details right now. I told the boys I needed to speak to your first" I said and she smiled
"Can you like do it starting soon?" She asked and I furrowed my brows
"I think so, I don't know why?" I asked and she smiled taking my hand getting us both off of the sofa

"Riley.. What is going on?" I laughed as she pulled me in the direction of the kitchen
I looked at her confused when I saw a show box on the counter
"You got me new shoes? Ri what does this have to do with me going on tour?" I asked making Riley laugh while trying to cover her cheeks from the red tinge they are showing

"Open it" She whispered smiling

I looked at her one final time before opening the box, my breath hitched the moment I saw it all
Looking back at Riley, her smile had grown around 10 times bigger
"Please tell me you're not joking" I said and she looked at me and shook her head
"I'm being 100% serious" She said making me drop the box before rushing over to kiss her
"We're having a baby?" I smiled making her nod
"Yeah we are" she said pressing our lips together again

I looked at her one final time before opening the box, my breath hitched the moment I saw it allLooking back at Riley, her smile had grown around 10 times bigger"Please tell me you're not joking" I said and she looked at me and shook her head"I'm ...
