*A Week Later*

Cody had gotten out of the hospital and his bruised ribs have healed. Everyone was still trying to figure out who had untied Connie's silk and the detectives were still questioning suspects. Cody still believed that it was his ex-girlfriend, Layla Ingle, who had tried to get Cody back since they broke up 4 years ago. Tonight, everyone was in Baltimore, Maryland for the next tour stop after stopping in Foxborough, MA, New York City, NY, Buffalo NY, Pittsburgh, PA, and Philadelphia, PA. Thankfully, Cody was able to perform both acts with his band and the Cherry Bombs, but made sure that all of the silks were on tight and all the pyrotechnics weren't rigged in anyway. Cody had just woken up with Taylor and Lili by his side when he smiled and kissed both their foreheads while they slept before he went into the hotel bathroom and went to get ready for the day.

Once Cody had finished with his morning routine and got himself ready for his workout, he went downstairs with his workout gloves on and went to get a quick workout in before going to confront Layla about what happened the first night of the tour. Cody was currently in the middle of his workout when he heard the gym door open and it turnt out to be Connie that came in when she noticed him doing pull-ups. Once Cody got down, he felt Connie wrap her arms around him before she kissed his cheek and he turnt around to see her who looked beautiful this morning.

Constance: Goodmorning my hero.

Cody: Goodmorning aunt Connie.

Constance: I don't think I ever thanked you for saving me from that fall.

Cody: I'm gonna find out about that later today. I still have a high suspicion that Layla had something to do with your silk coming undone.

Constance: Was she questioned by the cops already?

Cody: She was the first one that went in. They even questioned the stage managers, the crew, and even my band. I don't have suspicions with my band members, but it's possible.

Constance: You still saved my life. You flew in like an eagle. I want to know how the silk came undone as much as you do, but for now I just wanna thank you.

Cody smiled and hugged Constance as she hugged him back until the aunt and nephew looked deep into each other's eyes while Cody held Connie by her waist.

Cody: Can't let anything happen to one of the best seven aunts ever. Especially the one that checked me out the day we all first showered together.

Constance: I still can't believe you remember that. Oh well, you've got a wife that does that now.

Constance giggled as Cody chuckled before she kissed his cheek and the aunt and nephew duo decided to workout together before doing their stretches.

*Later*

After Cody had showered, he took his shift of watching Lili while Taylor worked out with Josette, Alina, and Ella while Alicia and Griffin hung out with Cody and Lili. Cody then got a notification that Layla was waiting for him downstairs so they could talk.

Cody: Ok, she's downstairs.

Alicia: Be careful down there baby. If you need me and the others to deal with her, just send me a text and we'll be down there quick.

Cody: Ok mom.

Alicia then kissed his cheek before Cody went downstairs to the lobby. Once the elevator reached to the lobby, Cody walked into the dining area of the hotel where Layla sat with her coffee and in her workout clothes which exposed her abs.

Layla smirked to see Cody who wore a sleeveless Slipknot shirt that showed off his muscular arms and his black ripped jeans when he walked over and got himself some coffee before he sat down with Layla. Cody was about to say something, but Layla said something first.

Layla: Before you say anything, I had nothing to do with that silk coming untied. Even if I did, I wouldn't have been able to get near any of the equipment.

Cody: I don't know about that. I just think you're still trying to get at me because we had a relationship years ago. I mean, yes I never forgot the sex we did too, but that's in the past Layla. I told you already, I'm a husband and father now. I don't wanna throw that away.

Layla: I know Cody. I think about it too, but look at me in the eyes and it's completely up to you on what you want to believe, but the lie detectors at the police station all read the truth. I had nothing to do with the silk coming undone. Hell, they said the finger prints on the silk were too big to be mine.

Cody was a little baffled after hearing that, but he didn't know what to believe with what Layla had just told him.

Cody: *sighs* Ok. At this point, I don't know what or who to believe, but I'll just let it slide for now. As far as I'm concerned, you're still a top suspect.

Layla: Ok... I accept that, but I'm telling you the truth. Look.... how about we just catch up with each other and I can help you find the culprit if you want.

Cody was unsure about that proposal, but he slowly nodded his head as the two of them talked amongst each other and caught up what the last four years were like for them since they broke up.

*Later at the Stadium*

Cody practiced his acrobat stunts with Constance and Meghan when Cody did something new while Constance looked over and watch him do it.

Once Cody did his trick, he unraveled himself down as did Constance and Katie when the two aunts hugged him and kissed his cheeks.

Meghan: You just get better and better everytime we watch you do that Codes.

Constance: Yeah. This tour has really brought us closer together that I forgot about you leaving the Cherry Bombs in the first place.

Cody: Well.... there is a thing I wanted to talk with all of you about.

Meghan: Oh? What's that?

Cody: Well...... the guys in my band are almost done with our second album and we're already planning tour dates. How would you both feel if we wanted to take you on tour with us? Co-headlining?

Connie and Meghan squealed in excitement before they hugged onto Cody again and kissed his cheeks multiple times.

Cody: *chuckles* Haha! Ok! I take that as yeses!

Connie and Meghan then planted big kisses on his cheeks until they rested their heads on his shoulders.

Constance: We'd love to. Alicia has a whole new show that she wants to do too. Possibly even make a story of it.

Meghan: With our dance skills and your music skills, we could make this a tour that no one will ever forget.

Cody: We'll discuss about it after I ask everyone else in the Cherry Bombs about it. For now, I gotta go play my set with the guys. I'll come back and practice some more with you after we're done.

Meghan: Have fun.

Constance: And I'll go up and check with the stage crew about the silks before we go up there again. Don't want anymore accidents like the first time.

Cody: No we do not. I'll see you both when I'm done. Love you aunt Connie and aunt Meghan.

Cody then lightly pecked both Katie and Connie on the lips when the two aunts both smiled and went back to practicing their stunts while Cody went to the stage after Griffin finished with Vended and he picked up his first guitar of the night and walked out on stage with his band before shouting into the mic and started playing while the opening pyrotechnics went off.

*Later in the Cherry Bombs's Set*

Cody was dancing with Alicia and Josette to a song they all picked together and did some choreographed fighting with each other until Alicia placed herself over Cody as he layed down on his back and she looked down at him.

Once the segment ended with Cody holding both women by their waists, he went to do his wheel of death stunts to the song he picked for it and did his tricks.

While he did his tricks, he made sure that nothing was wrong with it and luckily there wasn't until he did a double backflip in mid-air before landing on the top of the wheel until he slowed it down and did his pose on the top of it. Cody then got down from the wheel of death and met with Connie and Meghan on their silks and performed some positions for the crowd to the song they picked together.

Cody and Connie shared a silk for a brief moment when they did a new trick for the show on the silk.

The final stunt was upon them when Cody did his final position in the silks and ended the trick with holding onto Meghan and Connie by their waists while suspended in the air before unraveling themselves down.

Once the three of them were back on the floor, Alicia thanked the audience for coming early to check them out along with the opening groups while Cody hugged all his aunts until he put a protective arm around Alicia and the mom and son walked backstage together and the crew got the stage set fir Bring Me The Horizon. Once Cody arrived to the dressing room, he opened the door to find Taylor, Ella, and Alina who were interacting with Lili and Nathan until they saw Cody come in and saw Taylor interacting with them.

Taylor: Sorry we came back here early. Lili was starting to get fussy and wanted to play with Nathan.

Cody: It's alright. She's just acting like a 6 month old should.

Cody then picked her up and kissed Lili's cheek when she smiled and did a little laugh until Cody set her down and sat on the floor when he played with Lili and Nathan.

Taylor: You just get better and better on those silks Cody it's amazing.

Ella: Yeah. Didn't think you'd become an aerialist, a stunt performer, and a fire breather for the Cherry Bombs.

Cody: Everytime I look back on when they adopted me, I didn't think I'd be here today. Probably none of us though that we'd get as far as we have.

A knock was then heard when Taylor gave the go ahead to cone in when it opened, it's Alicia.

Alicia: So this is where you went. I take it she wasn't having it tonight?

Taylor: Your presumption is correct. She still got to watch her dad and grandma wow the audience though.

Alicia nodded and smiled before she knelt down onto the floor and joined Cody until Lili slowly tried to get up when she stood up.

Alicia: Oh my god...... look.

Lili then slowly tried to take her first steps until she slowly walked over to Cody and Alicia when he opened up his arms like a hug when Lili made it to him and he hugged onto her and picked her up.

Cody: Good job sweetheart. Good job.

Taylor: That's my girl.

Alicia: Who knows? She could be training as our little acrobat sooner than later.

Cody: Aunt Connie is definitely excited to take that job. Trust me, all the aunts are gonna wanna teach her the ways of being a Cherry Bomb including you mom.

Alicia: Don't worry, fire breathing will come, but not until she's older.

Taylor: It better not. Other than that, she just might learn a thing or two from the aunts.

Cody and Alicia smiled until they heard Bring Me The Horizon finish and Cody and Taylor gave each other nod when everyone got up and headed to the stage when Cody put the noise canceling headphones on Lili as Ella did the same with Nathan and Alina held his hand when they all walked to the stage entrance and were greeted by Corey who was about to put his mask on before he kissed Alicia and hugged Taylor and Cody before he even kissed Lili's forehead before he slipped his mask on and was handed a mic before walked on stage and Slipknot played their set before Ozzy went on and everyone enjoyed themselves for the rest of the night.
