R5 isn't there. Just Ross and Laura.

Ross:(asleep on the couch)

Laura:(silently crying)

Laura's POV/

I can't help but cry. I've been trying to be confident for Ross and his family not to worry but I am starting to worry. I can't die. The past few months have been great living with the Lynch's. I just can't. I've been holding it for so long and I just cracked. *sighs* I guess I'm not as strong as thought I was.

End of POV/

Ross:(wakes up looking at Laura) Laura?

Laura:(quickly wipes her eyes) Y-Yeah?

Ross:(walks up to her) Why are you crying?

Laura: I wasn't

Ross: If you weren't then why are you eyes all red and puffy?

Laura:(tries holding it in but cries)

Ross:(hugs her)

Laura: I don't want to die Ross

Ross: You're not going to

Laura: How do you know? Julie died from this. What if I die too?

Ross: I know you won't die. This disease wouldn't take out 2 of my sisters. I know it (pulls away)

Laura: Really?

Ross:(nods) I know so (wipes her tears)

Laura:(smiles) Thank you Rossy

Ross:(smiles) No problem Laurie

Laura:(groans) I told you not to call me that

Ross: It's cute

Laura:(rolls her eyes) Like Rossy-bear (smirks)

Ross: No Laura (whines)

Laura:(mocks) It's cute

Ross:(rolls his eyes) Okay I get what you mean. I'll stop

Laura:(smiles) I'll stop as well

Ross: Okay

Laura:(lays down groaning)

Ross: You okay?

Laura:(nods) Just sore

Ross:(holds her hand) You'll be better soon. I know it

Laura:(nods yawning)

Ross: Go to sleep

Laura:(shakes her head) No, I want to stay up with you

Ross: Go to sleep Laura. It'll help you get better

Laura: But what about you?

Ross: I'll be fine just go to sleep

Laura:(nods) Okay (falls asleep)

Ross:(smiles) Night Laura (kisses her head and sits back on the couch) (get's a phone call) Hello?

Riker: Hey Ross

Ross: Oh hey, what's up?

Riker: Just telling you that we'll be there soon but we're stopping by Tim's. What do you want?

Ross: Um... doesn't matter

Riker: Okay, so how's Laura doing?

Ross: She's okay. Better then yesterday, she's asleep right now
