Nobody Said It Was Easy

Brian Haner has a younger sister whom he loves more than anything. They've always done everything together, they're closer to one another than they are to anyone else.

Hannah is young and runs her own music store.
Brian is married and trying to start a family with his wife, Michelle.

When Brian and Michelle find out that there is no way she could ever carry their baby to term, they seek help from someone very, very close to them.

Matt is recently divorced and sharing custody of his fourteen month old son with his ex-wife.
Being a single parent and the front man for one of the biggest bands out of California is hard, so Matt finds comfort in a woman who has always been there for him, who has always been his best friend.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything, just the OC.
This is purely fiction and the situations between the band members and anyone else are completely made up.
Matt and Val's son will not be known as River in this story because I feel a bit uncomfortable using his name, so he'll just be named after Jimmy in this story.

(I've never done a story without Jimmy in it before and I don't know how I feel about it, but there are a lot of stories with Arin in them these days so why not? Plus, it will fit into the story eventually.)
