*six weeks later, Mike's POV*

Vic is doing a lot better than the doctors anticipated. He's been going to rehab every day to regain strength in his leg muscles, and he can almost walk on his own again. The rehab therapist said that he'd be completely able to walk by himself in less than a week!

The recording company said that they understood, and we got in the studio about three days after Vic was released from the hospital. They said we have almost enough songs recorded for our first album, we just need one or two more. We finally came up with a name for our band that we settled on, since it'd been up in the air for quite a while. We settled on Pierce The Veil.

Alli's baby bump was now just barely visible and she and Vic were both practically glowing with happiness. Even when Alli was puking her guts up every morning, she was happy.

Currently I am on my way home from rehab with Alli and Vic. Vic's nightmares about the car crash that took our family are getting worse, now magnified by the car crash that nearly took his life. He insists on no one being in the car with him, but he can't drive yet because he has still not gotten complete control over his legs. Alli insists on riding right next to him and keeping him calm while we're in the car.

I pulled up into the driveway to see Lilly standing on the front porch waiting for our return. I smiled when I saw her. "Hey guys!" she exclaimed after I helped Vic and Alli out of the car. "Hey Lil!" Vic replied. "Hey baby!" I exclaimed, wrapping one arm around her since the other was around Vic.

"Turtle just got a text from the guys at the studio. They want to have a meeting with the band in an hour to discuss the plan for your first album!" she said excitedly. Vic and I smiled along with her, but Alli looked somewhat upset. I'd ask her about that later. She and I had become good friends since Vic got out of the hospital.

We got Vic inside the house and he used the wall to walk around. He made his way, slowly, to his and Alli's bedroom. Alli followed, and I sat down on the couch. Lilly came and sat on my lap. "I missed not waking up next to you this morning boo," she pouted.

"Well maybe you should get up before noon then, princess," I chuckled, kissing her nose. She stuck her tongue out at me and we both laughed. She turned around so she was straddling my lap and kissed me. I held on to the small of her back and we continued to make out that way until we heard a crash from Alli and Vic's room.

She and I shared worried glances, then got up to go see what the commotion was.

Vic's POV~

"I don't know, I guess I'm just worried that you guys will get really famous," she said.

"And that's a bad thing because....?" I asked cautiously. Her mood swings were getting pretty rough lately. We fought a lot, but I knew it was her hormones and so did she so we tried to keep it all in the past. No one knew that we fought except Lilly and Jaime.

"Because, if you get famous, then you'll be gone a lot. Like, tours and interviews, you're job will become so important that the baby and I will just fade to black," she explained, pacing back and forth with tears forming in her eyes.

My heart dropped and I wished so bad that my legs would cooperate so that I could walk over and put my arms around her. "Ariella, please honey, you know that I'd never let that happen. You and he or she mean too much to me to ever let that happen. Sure, I'll have to go on tours, but I'll always come back and maybe I'll even take you with me sometimes," I assured her. She stopped pacing and just stood in front of me.

"You can't promise that. There is no guarantee that you won't just forget all about us," she said, looking at me. I sighed. "Alli, I can promise that and I do," I said. She went from sad to mad.

"God damnit Vic! You can't make an empty promise like that!" she said, slightly raising her voice. That's it.

I tried to get up, and I got two good steps toward her before I fell, making a loud thud on the hard wood floor. She walked over to me and helped me stand up. I wrapped my arms around her. "Alli bear it's a real promise. You know that I don't break my promises to you," I whispered, and she sniffled.

"I know Vic, it's me that breaks promises," she said softly, and I pulled back to face her. I hopefully searched her eyes for any sign that she was lying about it, but all I saw was truth.

"What?" I asked, and she held out her arms. "No, Alli, why did you-" I started but was interrupted by a gasp at the doorway. She retracted her arm and turned to see Mike and Lilly standing in the doorway with their mouths hanging wide open. Lilly looked like she was going to cry, and Mike looked angry.

"What did you do to her that made her do this? Huh?" he yelled at me. That is absolutely unbelievable! I opened my mouth, but Lilly spoke. "Mike, babe. Come here," she tried, still blankly staring at her sister in shock. Mike stayed in place in front of me, with his fists balled up.

"What. Did. You. Do." he demanded. "I don't know! I haven't found out yet! I was going to ask her, but then you and Lilly barged in!" I spat back at him, still bewildered by the fact that he'd be so quick to assume it was my fault.

"GUYS! It was because I was afraid of losing him. I can't do that. Okay? so leave him alone, Mike! Holy shit!" Alli exclaimed, interrupting the stare-down between my little brother and I. I turned to her and tried to make my legs cooperate enough to embrace and comfort her, but of course not. I fell again, and Lilly and Alli caught me, while Mike just stood to the side. I don't know what's gotten into him, but it really hurts me.
