*3 Months Later*

The tour was almost done now that it had a 2 stops in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The second to last stop was at SoFi stadium where The Cherry Bombs were rehearsing their stunts when Alicia looked around for Cody and noticed that he wasn't with them until she told the others to take a 20 minute break when she went to go find Cody. She looked around for five minutes until she found him staring at a doorway that had a stairwell that led to a boiler room in the stadium. Cody didn't move or say anything as he just sat on the floor, criss-cross, and stared at the doorway because it was where Tom had taken him and Layla and almost killed them. Alicia didn't say anything as Cody felt her presence and just kept staring at the doorway.

Cody: ................. Being brought down and tied up in there really felt like I went to hell and back. Layla didn't deserve that pain if she was telling the truth, but I should've stopped him from forcing himself on her.

Alicia was sad for Cody, but she let him keep talking.

Cody: The fact that he almost killed me and Layla...... I should've been the one kicking his ass. Motherfucker abused my real mom and thinks that he can just make me be with her. Dying never crossed my mind after meeting and marrying Taylor, but it....... felt weird yet comfortable at the same time......... but here I am still kicking it.

Alicia then walked up to Cody and sat with him.

Cody: After everything that's happened..... with Connie..... with Mushroomhead...... hell, even my former bandmates...... all of that trauma has made me stronger than I thought I could ever be..... physically and mentally........ not just the trauma..... but also my whole entire family...... you ladies have been my main supporters since day one and I'm still thanking all of you for saving me from that abusive, lying, homicidal asshole who's burning in hell as we speak.

Alicia had no words for what Cody just said, but she was so proud of him as she hugged onto Cody and he hugged her back as the mom and son had a moment together before they broke the hug and looked into each other's eyes for a minute.

Cody: I love you mom

Alicia: I love you too Cody. I'm so proud of how far you've come in your life. From being adopted by us...  to being attacked by Tom and Jeffrey..... to having another baby with Taylor....... you've come a long way in your life. Me and your dad are so proud of you.

Cody and Alicia hugged again until they both got up off the floor and held hands.

Alicia: Better get some rehearsals in. Afterwards, Corey wants to ask you something about tonight and the Vegas show.

Cody:........ Ok mom....

Cody then kissed her cheek before they walked away from the doorway and headed to the stage where Cody practiced his sword tricks with Latisha.

*Showtime*

Cody did his pre-show stretches alongside Meghan and Katie when he finished as did his two aunts when they all made eye contact with each other and Cody hugged onto them as they hugged him back.

Meghan: Whatcha thinkin about?

Cody: That time when we spent my 19th birthday in the airport.... remember that?

Meghan giggled at the memory that Cody brought up.

Meghan: That was an odd one, but I thought it was sweet of Josie to do that for you.

Cody: I enjoyed everything you all did for me that year, especially since you bought me Rudy, my stuffed animal Wolf remember?

Josie: You still have that thing?

Cody: Why would I get rid of it? It's from one of the best seven aunts ever.

Meghan smiled as she rested her head on Cody's shoulder as they looked out at the empty stadium until Cody felt a tap on his shoulder and turnt around to see Katie.

Katie: We better get ourselves ready. Doors are opening soon Codester.

Cody nodded as he kissed Meghan's forehead and they both stood up before Cody kissed Katie's cheek as they made their way backstage so that the venue's staff could let in the audience.

*Backstage*

Cody was snuggling up with Taylor as Cody kissed Taylor's 9 month pregnant tummy as she was due any day now until he looked up at Taylor and her beauty.

Taylor: You're such an amazing father.

Cody: I'm so proud to call you the mother of our children.

Taylor: I can't wait to meet him or her. Either way, it'll be a beautiful baby just like our little Lili.

Cody smiled and kissed Taylor's tummy again until they heard a knock at the door, and Cody gave them the go-ahead to come in. It's Corey and Alicia with Lili.

Corey: Look at you being a good dad to the almost born kid.

Cody: Gotta start somewhere.

Cody then got up and held Lili when he kissed her cheek and Lili smiled while Corey and Alicia sat down on another couch across from Cody and Taylor.

Corey: So.... since we are on the last two stops of the tour.... would you like to join Slipknot on stage tonight?

Cody looked up at Corey fast in excitement.

Cody: For real?!

Corey: Definitely. Besides, once this tour is over, we go back to our separate touring schedules. I a as thinking we could revive an old song for tonight.

Cody: Any particular one?

Corey: How good is your rapping?

Cody: Umm..... not too bad...

Corey: Good enough for me. It's a surprise for you too.

Cody slightly gulped as Corey chuckled and went to go rehearse while Alicia sat next to Cody again.

Alicia: Don't worry Codester. It's a song you know from the first album.

Cody: I have a hunch, but I better go rehearse it.

Taylor: Don't take too long babe.

Taylor then kissed Cody as he went to practice the song.

*Later*

Slipknot was playing on stage as they were about 2/3rds through their set until it was time for Cody to come out.

Corey: Los Fucking Angeles...... would you like a surprise?

The crowd cheered as loud as they could.

Corey: Please welcome our surprise guest for you.... my son, Cody!

Cody walked out to the thousands of people in SoFi stadium until Corey signaled Sid to start the song with his dj disk scratches as the song was "Only One"

https://youtu.be/qycMdRaqiLE

The crowd cheered for this surprise until the song started until Corey let Cody start the song until he gave Corey a shock when he started rapping.

Cody (Rapping Fast):

I'm not the second coming,
I'm the first wave
Better get an army,
'Cause the fire left me unscathed

You bet your bottom dollar,
I'm the top of the shit pile
So stick around,
'Cause I'll get to you in just a few

Step off the Achtung,
Get back or get stung.
Idiotic sense of yourself,
Are you that dumb?

Entire legion of me,
Totalitarian
The one and only motherfucker,
Top of the world man

'Cause I can't stand it, planned it,
Gonna crash land it
In other words,
Consider me branded

Another version of me,
Another version of you
Both barrels,
What you're gonna do?

All I hear is human noise!
You made your own fucking choice!
I belong to only me!
Silence for my revelry!

The crowd went bonkers for Cody as did Corey until they started screaming into their mics with Clown and Michael.

Cody/Corey: Death is fine, give me mine!

Michael and Clown: Only one of us walks away!
Only one of us walks away!
Only one of us walks away!
Only one of us walks away!

Cody?Corey: Somebody explain this!
You don't care 'cause you don't exist!
What the fuck, is this another joke?
Reckoning!

The song soon finished as Cody, Corey, Clown, and Michael finished as the song ended and Cody stood beside Corey.

After Cody walked offstage, he stood beside Griffin and Alicia and got some water and drank some before he started breathing heavily.

Alicia: That was incredible.

Griffin: That was fucking amazing.

Cody: Thank fuck I remembered the lyrics.

As the three of them watched the rest of the show, Taylor stood by Cody, holding Lili's hand, as the show was about finished until all of Slipknot finished playing Surfacing and Till We Die played as the members of Slipknot had something planned while Cody and Alicia grabbed a couple of stands that had a couple of jumpsuits as they were Joey's and Paul's jumpsuits when they placed them on the center of the stage and they took pictures with them and the fans.

Once the fans started filing out, Cody held Lili in one arm and had his other hand intertwined with Taylor's until she shrieked in a bit of pain.

Cody: What is it?!

Taylor:...... My water just broke!

Corey and Alicia heard her as they all scrambled to get to the hospital as Corey quickly changed out of his stage outfit while Alicia helped Taylor into the car and Cody strapped Lili in her car seat as Corey and Griffin ran up to the car and got in as everyone made their way to the hospital.

*6 Hours Later*

Cody waited in the waiting room with Corey, Alicia, and Griffin until the doctor came in.

Doctor: Can we have the father of the child come with me please?

Cody stood up and went back with the doctor as they stood in the hallway.

Doctor: First of all, the delivery of your baby was a success, and she's being checked for any diseases at the moment.

Cody: It's a girl?!

Doctor: Yes, Taylor has given birth to a beautiful baby girl...... but unfortunately, Taylor bled out a lot during the birth..... I don't want to alarm you, but she went into a coma after the baby was delivered.

Cody felt his whole world stop as he felt a tear go down his cheek.

Doctor: I'm sorry, Mr. Harris-Taylor.... there is a chance that she will wake up, but that chance is very slim. We'll inform you when your baby is ready, but for now, we'll let you go be with your wife.

The doctor then went to check on the baby as Cody was led to Taylor's room by a nurse and saw her as he went into her room as Cody sat down beside her and held her hand.

Cody: Taylor.... babe.... the doctor told me that you delivered our baby successfully. The doctor told me everything and.... Me and Lili just really need you by our side.

Cody then began to lightly cry as he looked at a motionless Taylor as he held her hand.

Cody: Please don't die on me Taylor! Our daughters need you and so do our family members..... you were there for me when I almost died..... I'm not giving up on you either.....

Cody then caressed Taylor's fingers until he looked up as he heard and saw the nurses come in with their new daughter until Cody heard noises coming from Taylor.

Taylor:............... b-b-baby. Where's t-the baby?

Cody took a sigh of relief as he hugged onto Taylor until he looked up at the nurses as they handed Cody their new daughter as he held her.

Cody:........ hi little one.....

The baby opened her eyes until Taylor said something else.

Taylor: M-M-Morgan.

Cody: What?

Taylor: Her name is Morgan. Morgan Constance Harris-Taylor.

Cody smiled as the baby grabbed onto his thumb and Cody kissed Morgan's forehead before Cody kissed Taylor. Once Cody and Taylor broke the kiss, Cody handed Morgan over to Taylor for her to look at and hold.

*Later*

Once Alicia, Corey, Griffin, and Lili were all allowed to come into Taylor's room, Alicia was holding Morgan as her and Corey interacted with her until Lili came up and interacted with Morgan as Alicia made cute noises to Morgan.

Alicia: Little Miss Morgan. Who's a little cutie wootie?

Alicia kissed Morgan's forehead before she let Corey have a turn to hold her as he looked at her and smiled while he held her.

Corey: She's beautiful, just like her mom and sister.

Cody smiled at him as Morgan grabbed onto Corey's finger as he smiled and kissed her forehead again while Cody and Taylor whispered amongst each other.

Taylor: They're good with her already. Lili's already took on the big sister role too.

Cody: Mom, Dad, and Griff love her a lot already. She's already a great addition to the family.

Taylor smiled at Cody as they held hands.

Cody: I'm so happy you didn't die on me Tay.

Taylor: You didn't die on me, Lili, and the others.... so I can't die on you either.... especially for our daughters.

Cody smiled again as he kissed Taylor until the nurse came in and informed everyone that visiting hours were finished for the night until Cody kissed Taylor and soon kissed Morgan's forehead before he, Alicia, Corey, and Griffin said goodbye and left the hospital.

*Two Days Later*

Cody pulled into the driveway of his and Taylor's house with Taylor, Lili, and Morgan all in the backseat as Cody parked the car and turned off the engine as he got out and helped Taylor with Lili and Morgan as Taylor got out first and Cody unbuckled Morgan's car seat and carried her while Taylor held Lili and they all walked into the house where all the aunts were waiting for them with Alicia. Once Cody unlocked the door, they all went in and the first person he saw was Crystal who ran up to Cody and hugged him tight.

Crystal: There's the new daddy times two!

Cody: And the new aunt times two!

Crystal giggled and saw Morgan as she awwed and Cody unbuckled her from her carrier and held her as he handed her to Crystal and she immediately fell in love with her.

Crystal: What a cutie! She looks like the both of you mixed together.

Cody smiled until he saw Connie come into the room in her wheelchair.

Connie: Cody....

Cody: Hi aunt Connie.

Cody got down to Connie's level and carefully hugged her until he looked up at Crystal who handed Morgan to Connie. Connie instantly loved Morgan as she lightly cried.

Connie: Hi Morgan.... 

Connie smiled and kissed Morgan's forehead until Morgan grabbed onto her finger and Connie smiled again until Alicia and the rest of the aunts came in and all looked at Morgan with Connie while Alicia joined Cody's side as he put a protective arm around her.

Alicia: You chose a good middle name for her.

Cody: It's the least I could do. She's been through a lot. 

Alicia smiled until she asked Cody something.

Alicia: What's next for you and Taylor?

Cody: Once she's all better, she's got an interview in New York and I'll be starting a new tour with my band.

Alicia: Who's it with?

Cody: Sleep Token and Spiritbox

Alicia: Can't wait to see that. Wish Corey and I could make it, but we're opening for him on his solo tour run in Europe.

Cody: Eh, it's only a short tour. We'll be with them here in the states for 20 shows until they have another set of openers.

Alicia: I still feel bad that we won't be with you for your first show on the tour.

Cody: No need to feel bad mom. I know that you'll be there eventually. Besides, I'll wear my Cherry Bombs necklace like I always do so that I'm thinking of all of you.

Alicia smiled and rested her head on Cody's shoulder as they went back to having family time after Taylor came into the room and the whole family sat down for dinner that Corey and Alicia made together.
