Be My Baby
Aloha, my fellow readers. It is I, the great James Stryker bringing you an adorable Girl Meets World story and it's about my favorite pairing, Rucas. This story is a coming of age comedy-drama about Riley and Lucas who are two high school seniors in love until complications arise when Riley finds out that she's pregnant before graduation. This story will deal with some mature topics like pregnancy, marriage, postpartum depression and alcoholism. This story will have some humor and drama. It's a comedy-drama. Rated M for some language and sexual content. P.S. I do not own Girl Meets World or the characters. So here it is, chapter one of Be My Baby. Enjoy.
Chapter One
Happy Birthday, Riley
Today was special day for Riley Amy Matthews. Today is the day that she turns 17-years-old. She hasn't been this excited since her first day of her senior year of high school. It was 5:52 AM on Saturday December 8, 2019, Cory and Topanga were asleep in their bed having some peaceful dreams. Cory wakes up and picks up his watch from off of the nightstand to check to see what time it is. He sees that it's 5:54 AM. He couldn't believe that his little girl is turning 17-years-old.
"Topanga. Topanga, wake up. Today's the big day." Cory whispered as he gently shakes his wife to wake her up.
"Cory, not now. I'm not in the mood." Topanga said.
"But honey, I'm telling you. Today is the big day. Do you know what time it is?" Cory asked.
"Isn't that what you said the last time when we conceived Charlie? Cory, I'm good with having three kids. We're both 39-years-old and hitting 40, I'm not having a fourth child." Topanga said.
"No, not that." Cory said. "Do you remember on December 8, 2001 somebody special came into our world? It was a Saturday and the time was 4:30 AM. You were the first one to wake up on this cold morning and you were going to the bathroom. All of a sudden, you started screaming and…."
"It's Riley's birthday!" Topanga said as looks at the time on the alarm clock. "It's 5:58 in the morning. It's almost 6:00 AM! My baby is turning seventeen. I remember the day she was born. I remember those grueling, painful hours of being in labor. Me pulling your hair and screaming at you."
"Ah, good times." Cory smiles as he gets up from his bed to prepare a big birthday breakfast for his daughter. Right when Cory and Topanga were about to leave the room, a cheery Riley enters the room with a big smile on her face.
"It's 6:00. Do you know what means? I'm 17!" Riley lets out a loud, excited, childlike squeal and started jumping up and down in her hooded blue printed sleep shirt.
"Riley, calm down. You don't want to wake up Auggie and Charlie." Cory said until Auggie enters the bedroom with their 2-year-old sister Charlie.
"What's all the commotion? I'm trying to sleep here." The 10-year-old said.
"Sorry, Auggie. I'm just excited because today's my birthday." Riley said as she walks over to her baby sister and picks her up. "Hey there, Charlie. Are you excited that your big sister is turning 17?"
"Wiley old." The toddler said.
"That's right. But I'm not that old. I'm not old like mommy and daddy." Riley said.
"Hey!" Topanga said looking offended.
"One more old joke from you and you won't be getting any presents and cake." Cory said.
"I want presents and cake." Riley pouts. Cory and Topanga smile at their daughter as they both step out of the bedroom and headed to the kitchen to fix her breakfast. Riley and Auggie leave the bedroom, Auggie takes Charlie so they can watch cartoons in the living room while Riley enters her room to text Maya. But right before she could text Maya, she began to look at herself in the mirror and began to think to herself. "I cannot believe that I'm 17. This is the most important day in a young woman's life. You have a great family, friends that like you, an amazing senior year in high school and a great life. And not to forget, the most handsome and perfect boyfriend in the world that you love so much. This is the day-"
"Happy birthday, Riley!" Maya popped up in the window with a smile across her face as Riley walked over to the window so she could crawl through.
"Thanks, Maya." Riley hugs her best friend and closes the window behind her.
"I have something for you." Maya said.
"Aww, peaches. You didn't have to…" Riley said until Maya interrupted her as she pulled out a rectangular box that was wrapped in princess wrapping paper with a pink bow on it.
"Hurry up and open it, Riles." Maya said. Riley unwraps the gift, revealing the small rectangular box. Riley opens the box and gasps in awe as she pulls out a silver charm bracelet with the words "Best Friend" inscribed on it. Maya took a hold of Riley's wrist and put it on her.
"Wow, Maya. It looks great. I love it. How did you…" Riley said.
"I was helping mom out at Topanga's every day of the week and used some of my allowance and birthday money that I've saved up." Maya said.
"I love it. Thank you, Maya." Riley said. Maya smiles at Riley and hugs her BFF. "I can't believe that my best friend is turning 17. When you turn 18 next year, you're going to be legal."
"Am I legal already?" Riley asked.
"No, peaches. You're barely legal." Maya said as Riley giggles. The two teenage girls made their way into living room. The scent of fresh pancakes hit her nose as she walked towards the kitchen and sat down at the table with Maya. "Hey there, Matthews. So, what's cooking?
"Hi, Maya." Topanga said while cooking some scrambled eggs.
"We're cooking Riley's birthday breakfast. Three stacks of pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns." Cory said.
"With maple syrup?" Riley asked.
"Sure." Topanga said.
"Ooh, sound good." Riley smiles. Topanga walks over to the table with a plate of pancakes and set them down on the table along with a side of bacon. Maya quickly steals a piece of bacon from off of Riley's plate and eats it. "Maya!"
"What? I'm hungry." Maya said.
"Well, how about I fix you a plate of pancakes with some bacon?" Topanga asked.
"Sure." Maya said.
"Would you like some eggs with that?" Topanga asked.
"Absolutely." Maya said while little Charlie walks over to the table.
"Hi." Charlie said.
"Well, hi Charlie. How's my little duckling?" Maya asked.
"Good." Charlie said. "Wiley old."
"I know. Well, technically she's not old like her parents. You see, mommy and daddy are old people." Maya said. Cory and Topanga turned to Maya's direction and gave her the death glare. "Hey, want to ride the horsey?"
"Horsey! Horsey!" Charlie smiles as Maya got up and picked up Charlie and made their way over to the rocking horse.
"You know we're not that old." Cory said.
"You two are exactly the same age." Riley said.
"Oh, shut up and eat your breakfast." Cory said as Riley eats her pancakes that are drenched with syrup.
"This is the week before Christmas break. We should be getting less homework, not more. Dad, has Mr. Feeney ever given you and mom more homework on the week before Christmas break?" Riley asked.
"Yes." They both said simultaneously.
"Daddy's trying to give us more homework." Riley said as she stuffs her face with pancakes.
"I am not! I'm not trying to be like Feeney." Cory said.
"Let's see, you're the principal and teacher of their school. So yeah, you're like Feeney. You're Feeney 2.0." Topanga said as Charlie started giggling at her father.
"What is so funny?" Cory asked.
"You, daddy." Charlie said.
"Aww, isn't she the most cutest thing." Maya said smiling at Charlie.
"Remember, we've got to get everything ready for Riley's…" Cory was interrupted by a lime thrown at his head. He turned to Topanga and gave her a look. "Ow! What was that for?"
"I saw it! Some angry kids from apartment no. 24, did you do something to upset them? Oh, the terrorists! They ran that way. It was a run-by fruiting. We'll get them, Cor. Don't worry." Topanga grabs Cory's arm and yanked him in Auggie's room and closed the door behind her. "Are you nuts?! Are you trying to ruin the surprise?"
"What? It's not like she's going to know." Cory said.
"But you almost blurted it out." Topanga said.
"Alright, I'm sorry that I almost blurted out Riley's surprise party." Cory whispered as he opened the bedroom door to let himself out. "And by the way, you watch too much Mrs. Doubtfire. That movie is so 25 years ago."
"It's still a classic and its lines are memorable. At least I'm not the one who watches Total Recall and repeats the line "Get your ass to Mars". Oh wait, that was Auggie when he watched it with you when he was seven." Topanga said.
"That line never gets old." Cory smiles and steps out of the room with Topanga.
"I remember when she was twelve, she was telling me that she wants to wear makeup and about how she should start wearing it and I gave her some makeup advice for when we allow her to wear makeup." Topanga said.
"Ah, yes. I remember that." Cory said.
"So, what were you two talking about?" Riley asked.
"Oh, uh. Nothing. We were talking about babies and stuff." Cory lied.
"You're not thinking of having another kid, are you?" Three kids are enough. You're hitting forty." Auggie said.
"Oh, quiet!" Cory and Topanga both yelled at the same time as Auggie went back to watching cartoons. Later that day, Riley was in the closet picking out something to wear for her birthday while Maya was sitting by the bay window playing with Charlie.
"Maya, I need your opinion on something. Should I wear this dress or should I wear this dress?" Riley asked as she held a teal embellished slip dress in one hand and in the other a cute blue dress with white polka dots on it.
"Hmm, let's see. I like the teal dress better. What about you, Charlie?" Maya asked.
"Dots." Charlie points at the dress.
"I'm wearing the teal one because it looks pretty." Riley said as she pulls out a pair of black studded cowgirl boots to go with her outfit.
"Riley, it's your birthday. It's your very special day. No need to get nervous about it." Maya said.
"I know." Riley said.
"Besides, it's not like you're getting dolled up for your cowboy." Maya said.
"Well…" Riley grins.
"I knew it. You're getting dolled up for Lucas. Riley, it's not like he's going to give you some birthday sex." Maya said.
"Maya! You can't say that word in front of Charlie. She's only two." Riley said.
"Sex." Charlie said.
"Great. Now, my baby sister learned a new word from you." Riley said as Maya started laughing. "Besides, Lucas and I are planning on waiting till we're married. He's such a gentleman. I love him."
"Riles, it's your senior year of high school and you two have selected colleges. You're both planning on going to NYU after you graduate from Eleanor Roosevelt High School and prom is a few months away. Heck, Lucas will be going to Texas with his mother and Zay during Christmas break to visit his father, Pappy Joe and Cletus. Honey, you're going to become the last American virgin." Maya said.
"Virgin!" Charlie said.
"Maya!" Riley exclaimed.
"I'm sorry! It's not like I'm a bad influence on her." Maya said. "Anyway, you get dressed while I get home and get ready to change into something different and I'll meet you at Topanga's, okay?"
"Okay." Riley said.
And that was the first chapter of Be My Baby? So, what did you think of the first chapter? Did you like it? Also, did you like the original character that I've created? My OC that I created is Charlotte "Charlie" Morgan Matthews. She was born on June 15th 2017. The youngest sister of Riley and Auggie Matthews. I named Charlie after the character Charlie from Good Luck Charlie. Next time, it's Riley's surprise birthday party. Before I go, this story will have tons of Rucas moments, Joshaya moments, Smarkle moments and Corpanga moments. Don't forget to review this story (No rude comments, please be nice) and I'll see you next time for chapter two. Till next time, my fellow readers.
