Title: How to tell a Lucas...
Rating: T
Genre: Fluff and Romance.
Summary: Maya is nervous to tell Lucas she's pregnant so she gets Riley and Farkle to help her break the news.
Maya breathe deeply as she saw the stick, she lift her head and looked at herself in the mirror, she swallowed hard as she looked directly into her baby blue eyes.
"You are pregnant." Maya whispered to herself slowly, it was the only way she could feel it was real. She nodded to herself and tried to assimilate what this meant for her life, nonetheless a smile drew on her face too.
Since they got married, Lucas had been talking none stop about having children, the idea simply was everything for him but Maya had put a stop to it because she was settling at her job on the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Lucas had agreed to avoid the topic for sometime, but many believe it was time. They had their apartment, large enough for children, they were totally economically stable, they had been married for over a year and it seemed it was about damn time, still they weren't trying or at least not Maya.
It wasn't that Maya didn't want a baby with Lucas, she did and it was the only thing she would think about from a time on. She constantly imagined a blonde baby running in their apartment while Lucas made breakfast, she wonder how he/she would laugh and what color his/her eyes would be, the simple thought of it warmed her heart and made her fill ecstatic, but it scared her too. She wanted to be a good mother, she didn't wanted to disappoint her child as her father did with her and she wanted to be as strong as Katy but she wanted to spend as much time as she could with her child too. It was difficult for her, imagining what kind of mother she would be, she wanted to be the best but she wasn't sure she could be.
She hadn't talk about her fear to Lucas, only with Riley and now it was more present than ever as she saw the stick. And now it was not only that, how would she tell Lucas?
"Hey Shortstack it's everything okay?" Lucas' voice interrupted Maya's thoughts, she quickly turned around and face at the door, thank god she had locked the door.
"Ye-Yeah, I'm fine." Maya reply although her voice came out rather wobbly, she cleared her throat a bit. "I'll come out in a second."
Maya quickly rolled up the pregnancy stick on paper and packed it on the back pocket of her jeans. She then looked back one more time to see herself in the mirror, trying to check if she seemed normal. She was a little bit blushed but she tried to diminish it, she didn't want that Lucas found out just yet. It was just too much for her in the moment and she was nervous for even the idea, she didn't knew how exactly she would tell him or if she would ever talk about her fear; she need just one person in that moment: Riley.
"I'm going to go to Riley's! I'll be back by lunch!" Maya said as she ran into the main room.
But then, Maya turned around to see her husband facing the other way as he cooked, her gaze lingered to him, and how not to? Lucas looked handsome even if he was only in his pajamas and had waked up just now.
"Morning Blonde Beauty" Lucas said lowly, he turned around to face her and Maya felt she lost her breath.
Those sea-foam green eyes and the smile that appeared on his face made Maya's heart beat rise, his eyes sparkled, she licked her lips nervously and swallowed thickly. She knew that gaze he was giving to her, though he then turned around to continue cooking.
She wanted to stay with him all morning, she really did, she was craving him at the moment but she really needed to go to Riley's now, she was pregnant. Maya breathed deeply as she walked towards the kitchen with determination, give him just one little peck on the lips Maya and then walk out, she thought, as she got closer to him, it was hard to try but she needed to do her best.
But as soon as her husband heard her getting closer he turned around in one swift motion and trapped her into his embrace. Tugging her next to him, wrapping Maya with his arms on her hip and back as he lean down and caught her lips. Lucas gave Maya a wild but sweet at the same time kiss. It left Maya breathlessly, in a daze, she wasn't sure what to actually say, she hated and loved the power he had over her, it was too much, the way he made her feel but no one else had ever made her feel that.
"Now you can go." Lucas said, their lips barely brushing with his low-voice as Maya opened her eyes and their gazes linked. Maya bit her lower lip and smile and she nodded. "Unless you want to stay home?" Lucas asked playfully as he touched her cheek and stared at her.
"I, I really have to go Cowboy." Maya said and then she pushed her husband away with a flirty smile, she walked away, although Lucas was still focus on her, fixed on her movements with a smirk.
"Whatever you want Maya." Lucas chuckled as he returned into his cooking duties and Maya stayed there for a moment, looking at Lucas, soon to be father, the waves of fear began striking her again; could she get over her fear? How would Lucas react?
…
"Peaches!" Riley screamed as she opened the door to her apartment, she was wearing a beautiful orange dress and it fit her perfectly. "What are you doing here so early?"
"Honey!" Maya smiled as she crossed the doorframe and gave her best friend a strong hug. "I just wanted to stop by"
Maya always loved to visit Riley, since they graduated from NYU and now they lived in totally different parts of the city, Maya in Soho and Riley on the Upper East Side, it was hard to actually see each other every day. Nonetheless they had the tradition of always getting together Saturday for lunch to talk about everything, but this last few weeks Riley had been traveling to France, this was the first time they saw each other in what felt like forever.
"So how was France?" Maya asked as she sat in her best friends very own bay window in the main room, Riley sat next to her as she took one pillow between her arms and her knees against her chest.
Riley loved that new bay window, it was warm with the sun entering and they had a perfect view of the city, his husband had it built on their room since he knew how much it meant for Riley.
After all, Farkle wanted the best for his wife.
Farkle and Riley had gotten married about 9 months ago; they began dating on their freshman year in NYU and they had been inseparable ever since. There was something about them, something like nothing else. Farkle's wish was to make Riley happy whereas Riley's dream was making him the happy too; Maya couldn't be happier for her best friends. They had taken a little more time to get married because Farkle wanted a big proposal and the wedding that Riley deserve, and god it was.
"It was good, you know how much I love it." Riley said calmly as she studied Maya, Maya began fidgeting with her fingers with her head down. She knew her best friend was trying to read her with her gaze. "What happened Peaches?"
"I'm…" Maya muttered slowly, she was just nervous about it, her heart beating fast. She knew she had to say it, not only to herself, but to Riley too. She needed to finally embrace it, she was happy but scared and she had to face up to it. "I'm pregnant." Maya blurted as she lifted her head to see her best friends reactions.
Riley's face stayed pan-dead, she dropped the pillow and her arms fall in her sides as her gaze was focus on Maya, this was something Maya couldn't quite tell about her best friend, she expected her to be more… Riley. But suddenly the corners of Riley's mouth began coming up, her best friend's characteristic open and wide smile appeared on her face, her eyes twinkle with happiness and as she began to jump in her seat with her giggles and voice filled the room.
"Yaaaaaaaay!" Riley screamed and then she threw herself to hug her best friend and Maya reciprocated with love. This was the reaction she was expecting and this was everything she needed to let her fear go, it was just the reassurance that she would become a mother and that she shouldn't be afraid. "I'm going to be an aunt!" Riley yelled again in her squeaky voice, tears pooling in her eyes as she put a hand on top of Maya's belly.
"You will be an aunt and I'm going to be a mother, what is happening!" Maya laughed as she felt the tears of happiness falling on her cheek as she smiled, it simply warmed her heart.
Maya realized in that moment, that she would be the mother she wanted to be, she could be there for her baby and be strong and caring, she could be a good mother and she would be. Riley would become a great aunt and Maya would become a mother, and as Maya accepted that the waves of fear that had been striking her body all morning passed, they disappeared almost completely, now she just was nervous, how would she tell Lucas?
But suddenly Riley stopped giggling, her smile didn't go away but a question did pop-up, something that Maya hadn't resolve just yet.
"The mother thing, you are not scared anymore." Riley stated more serious than before but still with a happy smile on her face and Maya nodded no, Riley began to smile once again. "I knew you would realize it, you are going to be a great mother Maya! So what did Lucas said?" Riley asked Maya but Maya just downed her head and stood up.
"Seeing you so happy made me realize it was okay, Thank you Honey for always being there, you can't imagine how much I love you." Maya smiled as she put her hand over her best friend's, both of them touching her belly, both of them touching her baby. "The thing now is, how do I tell Lucas?"
"How do we tell Lucas what?" The voice of Farkle appeared from their giant closet, he was in a casual Sunday outfit, but it seemed like Riley and him would go out, he then walked forward his two best friends and sat down next to Maya.
"Should we tell him?" Riley asked Maya as she watched her husband all impatient, as he frowned to them, trying to figure out what was going on.
"He's still my best friend and a genius, maybe he will know how." Maya said as she squinted her eyes when looking at Farkle, he gave her a playful look. Riley nodded and then turned her head as she looked at Farkle.
"Maya is pregnant and she doesn't know how to tell Lucas." Riley blurted out and suddenly Farkle turned his face quickly to look at Maya, his eyes began to sparkle and a smile drew on his face too.
"I'm so happy for you two, congratulations Maya." Farkle said as he hugged her best friend and gave a sweet peck on her forehead.
And Maya was there, she had already told her two best friends, her best friends since she was seven years old and she felt safe. She felt like she could do it and she couldn't wait to tell Lucas about it, the only problem was how? Maya knew he wanted a baby so badly, she was so nervous on how to tell him too, she wanted to be special but not too corny or maybe yes, she knew how Lucas was, she knew Lucas better than anyone but this overthrow her from her comfort zone. Thank God she had Riley and Farkle now.
"So what do we do now? How do I tell him? I want it to be special but I suck on this things." Maya remarked, they needed to solve it now or it would be a matter of time before Lucas found out, he wasn't stupid and it killed Maya that he found out in a simple way.
The three friends remained silent for a second, each one with a fixed expression, wondering how they would break the news. It was important, Maya felt chills run down her back as she imagined how Lucas would react, if Maya was him she would want it in a simple way but Lucas wanted this so badly she had to make it big, he owe him that.
"Maybe…" Farkle spoke after a while of not having resolve anything, Maya turned her head and listen closely to him. "…You do suck for this stuff." Farkle concluded for a second and Maya's eyes narrowed as she gave him a small punch on his shoulder. "Ouch!"
"I KNOW!" Riley then snapped, Farkle and Maya jumped a bit by the sudden scream of her best friend. "I know exactly what to do." Riley said with confident as she smiled at them.
…
Maya's face burned red, she wasn't exactly sure of what she was doing, as far as she could tell this simply reassured her that she didn't knew anything about cooking or so.
"Fuck…" Maya whispered to herself as she tried to follow the instructions that Riley had indicated. Now the oil burned her hand as she checked the salmon on the hot oven.
Although Maya was a messed at the moment, she thanked Riley and Farkle for helping her with this plan, knowing her best friend it would be perfect although it was a lotta' work. The first step was to get Lucas out of the house; thankfully Zay was in town at the moment and he helped her with the issue, apparently he said a very convincing reason on why he should go out of the apartment and long enough for the three friends to prepared everything.
Riley had everything sorted out, Maya would tell Lucas she was pregnant by doing him a lovely romantic dinner in their own apartment, cooked by herself which was very odd but the perfect way to show him how much she loved him. Farkle helped Maya decorate their apartment, putting on their balcony a small table, all the apartment was organized and clean, candles and roses everywhere and a bottle of wine, of course for Lucas only. Maya would cook a Salmon Wellington, which was elegant and perfect for the main plate, or her best friend said so, Maya knew this was fancy and delicious but she didn't know until what point she could cook it. Well it didn't matter anymore, Lucas would be home any moment now and Maya had not only to get dress but also hide the cupcake that had a little baby sign stick to it, Riley told her this had to be the dessert and Lucas would figure it out on his own. But since Maya was on a hurry, she decided she would put it in the box it came on the couch.
Riley and Farkle had left over an hour ago but asked her to call them as soon as Lucas knew. Both of them wished her good luck and gave her a sweet kiss, Maya even wondered if they were more excited for the baby and how to tell Lucas than she was.
Maya ran towards her bedroom and began to shimmy up the black long dress she had picked up for the evening, at least this would be the last time she would wear for a long time it since soon she wouldn't be able to do so. She then put on her high heels and run towards the bathroom to apply some mascara and lipstick, she needed this to be special and she would look definitely look nice, she wanted that Lucas remembered this night forever. After tomorrow, she would be officially a mother and Lucas a father, and now Maya couldn't even retain her happiness at the thought.
Suddenly the bell rang.
Maya knew this was it, this was the moment Lucas' life would change forever and Maya's too, she was nervous so nervous about it but she hoped it worked for the best, after all Farkle and Riley had helped her do everything, what could go wrong now?
"It's time baby." Maya muttered as she touched her belly and a wide smile appeared in her face. Then she walked towards the main room to open the door to her husband, Maya breathe deeply before she did.
"You won't imagine what Zay di-" Lucas stopped abruptly when he lift his head and saw Maya, his eyes lingered to her body, his mouth open.
"Huckleburry." Maya said lowly with a grin on her face thanks to his reaction, she hoped he would still be like this when she was all big and cranky.
"Maya, what." Lucas said slowly, his eyes burning as he watched her, he got closer to her as he intended to wrap an arm around her waist. "You look beautiful Shortstack" Lucas said dangerously low as a smirk drew on his face.
But Maya quickly took a hold of his hand and pulled him into the apartment as she guided him towards their balcony, she knew what would happened if she let him trapped her. "Come." Maya said as she bit her lower lip when she saw Lucas' glowing expression.
"Wow" Lucas gasped as he saw the balcony, Maya smiled bright up as she saw his reaction. "Maya what's all this, I mean it's…" Lucas said but the cut it, he was speechless.
"Just sit down and wait for me." Maya said as she guide Lucas towards his sit so she could go and check the salmon, it needed to cook for over 25 minutes and Maya knew more or less it was time to served it.
But it wasn't the same plan Lucas had. From one second to another Lucas took a hold of Maya's hand and pulled her to him, their bodies crashed and Maya felt dizzy. The way he was looking at her, she dazed him and Maya could feel how her heartbeat drummed in her ears. His body, he had this magnetism, he wasn't letting go and Maya wasn't planning to do so. Lucas lean down as he tangled a hand in her hair and the other wrapped around her waist, his lips crashed and Maya swore her whole body was on fire, she whimpered into the kiss as her hands began to play with his hair. Maya swore she was on heaven as Lucas tried to pull her closer to him, craving her like a man deprived and Maya wasn't different, she needed to feel him and the way he kissed her it was intoxicating.
Then Maya pushed out, the kiss had been breathtaking.
"I love you" Maya whispered as she opened her eyes and saw Lucas gaze, those sea-foam eyes she loved so much.
"I love you too." Lucas reply and gave her a swift peck on her nose, it was a magic moment and a perfect beginning to their evening, until Lucas smelled it. Lucas lifted her head, his nose moving and a concerned look on his face, his gaze directed to the kitchen. "Is something burning?"
What would be burning? Maya hadn't smell anything but that's when she realized it…
"GODDAMN." Maya let out in a growl as she pushed away Lucas and rushed towards the kitchen, running as fast as she could and only to find out smoke coming out of the oven.
She had screwed it up.
Maya quickly cursed under her breathe as she tried, with her own bare hands to open the oven, only to quickly realize it had been the worst idea as know her hands were burned and she was screaming of pain.
"Maya! Be careful!" Lucas scolded her as he took some gloves from the countertop and open the oven, a lot of smoke appeared and Maya only hoped the fire alarm didn't went off.
Lucas took out the silver tray where the two salmons were but now they seemed like two pieces of a black paste. Maya felt like crying, she knew this would end badly she sucked at this and now she had ruined the whole night. Lucas turned around, his glowering expression soften as he gazed at her wife, who had tears falling from her cheek and her hands lifted up, a little bit burned.
"Oh, Maya come here…" Lucas said softly as he kissed Maya on her forehead and then guided her towards the couch. Maya felt devastated but she was beyond grateful she had Lucas; no one would ever be so comprehensive about it. "I'll bring some Band-Aids and cream, please sit down." Lucas begged her as he walked towards the bathroom.
Maya sighed as she nodded, the burn in her hands wasn't stopping and it hurt beyond what she imagined, she was so done for the night and she hadn't even been able to tell Lucas about their baby, at least I still have the cupcake, Maya thought as she sat down on the couch.
And then Maya felt it, she felt how she crashed the little box her the cupcake was in, she had smash the cupcake with her butt, she moved a bit and saw how she had crashed it. She had ruined, really ruined the last chance she had to give Lucas the news in a special way.
That's when Maya broke down.
Maya began to sob; it wasn't fair, how come when she tried to do something special for the guy that would die for her she screwed it up so badly? How come she couldn't do anything special or good? Oh god, what if their child asked her to bake some cookies for school? She would end up intoxicating them or burning the whole damn apartment! Maya felt her heart squeezing in her chest, she was so mad at herself; she couldn't believe what was happening.
"Hey, I found the perfect cream for-" Lucas said as he entered the room and saw Maya crying, crying so hard, she lifted her head and calm a bit but the tears were still coming out, Lucas had a haunted expression, like he had done something bad. "Oh Maya- I didn't meant to yell at you."
"It's not that!" Maya said between sobs, Lucas got closer to her and kneeled down next to her as he caressed her long legs, he was so worried about her.
"So what happened?" Lucas asked as he looked at her with concern.
"I'm just a mess! I can't do anything right, I burn things and I crashed them with my butt!" Maya yelled as she continued crying. "And today that I want to do something special for my husband, I end up burning half of this apartment! Riley and Farkle gave me the instructions for the whole night and still I can't do it right? Is there something wrong with me? How can you even be married to me!" Maya snapped as she looked at Lucas who was simply gazing at her, no particular expression on his face, only listening to her. "I am simply a…I'm a disaster, how on earth can I be a respectable mother when this baby is born? I mea-" Maya stopped abruptly, she had just said it, she lifted her head and gazed at Lucas.
He had the most unreadable look on his face and Maya bit her lower lip, what she had done? Oh god.
"A mother?" Lucas asked slowly.
"Yes…"Maya answered, carefully, she didn't exactly knew if this was a good reaction but she needed to say it, he needed to know and now it was too late to back it up. "I'm pregnant, I found out this morning, we are going to be parents" Maya said as slowly as she could so Lucas could receive the information just fine. "And I kind of wanted to give you a nice surprise but I screwed it up, real bad."
Lucas stayed there for a few seconds, completely frozen, his gaze lost somewhere else, and it was like he had been put off. Maya looked at him, her hear began beating faster that she would ever imagine it would, she felt a shrive running down her back and waves of fear struck her body once again. He would be happy right? He wanted this, oh god, he wanted this right? They hadn't talk about it in months maybe he had changed his mind and Maya began to feel the need of bawling again, what on earth she would do if he didn't wanted this baby.
But suddenly Maya felt a strong grip on her arms that lifted her up from the couch, she felt dazed for a moment, then her body crashed to Lucas. He was holding her, hugging her so tightly and it had been so sudden that Maya hadn't even saw it coming. She then heard him crying and she smiled, she began to cry as well and hugged him back.
"Maya, we are going to be parents, I'm going to be a dad." Lucas said with such an exuberant tone that Maya couldn't believe it, he was happy. "Thank you, I am going to be a dad." Lucas repeated as he pushed Maya away from the hugged, his sea-foam green eyes so bright, his smile so wide that Maya was sure she hadn't seen him so happy in his life, not even the day they got married.
"We are going to be parents" Maya laughed, tears falling from her cheeks, she was so happy, she was beyond happy about this. Lucas hold her in a hug one more time and he twirl her in the hug, lifting her up, both laughing of happening as they were cheering on.
Lucas then put Maya back on the floor, he suddenly put a hand on her belly, he smiled didn't fade away one second. Maya felt her heartbeat rise up, she was happy, she was so incredible happy, although everything had failed she felt ecstatic, he was happy and he knew, they were going to be parents and there was nothing better in life.
"I love you so much." Lucas said to Maya, their gazes link and smiles wide.
"I love you too." Maya reply as she took a hold of Lucas' face and pulled him for a sweet kiss, between laughs and tears of happiness.
