Fair warning this story is going to be a little different then my other stories. I don't know if anyone is going to like it but I'm going to put it out anyways. The pov are going to be just what happens with each girl for this chapter if that makes sense.

The girls sat in the living room waiting impatiently for Farkle to return. One twisting the ring on her left ring finger the other rubbing her ever growing belly. They look at each other wondering how they got where they were. They give each other small smiles as Farkle lets them know the car was outside. They share a look wondering what happens next.

Six Months Earlier

Maya swayed on her stool letting the music from her bar below take control of what she plan to create. The bar was a gift to her from Kermit her biological dad. He had left it to her when he died her freshman year in high school.

She didn't know why he gave her the bar in the first place. She didn't know the first thing about a bar. But luckily for her her mom let her keep it and took care of it for her. Along with her stepdad Shawn they maintained the bar until she was old enough.

She adds the final touches to her painting before looking at the time knowing she wasn't packed and Riley was definitely going to kill her. She hops off the stool dancing to the music from below when she hears a knock.

Assuming it was Riley telling her to move her butt she shouts it was open. She continued dancing while rinsing off her brushes and her hands. "Performance art didn't know you were into that Hart?" Maya freezes as she slowly turns around and sees him.

Joshua Matthews.

Her best friend's uncle, her friend and long time crush for her. A crush she pretended to stop having even though it was still there.

"Cat got your tongue?" He jokes looking at her painting. She narrows her eyes at him resisting the urge to jump on him. Something she spent years practicing with Riley's help which resulted in several bruises. "Nope but it'll have yours if you mess up my painting." She flicks water at him making him chuckle.

"I would never damage a ferret original. That would be just moronic." She smiles shaking her head as she goes to her room she used when she was in a art mood packing her clothes. "Oo Hart Riley is going to kill you for not being ready. Plane takes off in in an hour and a half."

Maya looks at him weirdly as he leans in her doorway smiling. "Your coming too?" She asked hoping he say no. Alcohol and him in the same room was something she didn't want to happen. "Yeah I mean it's Vegas baby!" She shakes her head biting her lip as she continues packing but could feel his eyes on her still.

"Do you not want me there Hart?" He asked as she stopped for a second before continuing. "No you're more than welcomed to come along I just thought you would rather spend your weekend drinking martinis in your fancy lawyer club with your girlfriend."

Mary Watson. Josh's high school sweetheart. Maya loathed her and not just because she was with Josh. In fact she wasn't alone in her hatred of the girl. It seemed every member of the Matthews family disliked her. She always wanted Josh at her family function and barely left him with time for his own family.

He goes to speak but doesn't say anything instead lets out a chuckle rubbing his neck. "Well someone has to look out for you guys out there. I'm sure at one point during the weekend you'll need a lawyer." She gasps balling up her socks throwing them at him as he laughs throwing them back before walking out the room.

Maya watches him go wondering why he didn't mention Mary. She doesn't get long to dwell on it when those Boing butterflies open the door in her heart and start dusting their wings happy to be flying again. No matter how much Maya didn't want them to be.

"Okay I got everything. I think." Maya says putting her suitcase down as she taps her cheek looking around her studio. "Here." Josh says handing her a gift box. "What's this? It isn't mine." She says staring at him and then at the box in her hands.

"Open it genius." He says smiling as Maya sticks her tongue out at him. She opens it gasping slightly at what was inside. "Boing..." She says biting her cheek at the slip up. She hadn't called him that since middle school and then she only called him that when talking with Riley.

"Haven't heard that one in awhile. Why did you ever stop?" He asked tilting his head at her. Maya shrugs afraid she might blurt out the real reason she stopped calling him Boing and just used Josh.

"Well we should go." He tells her as Maya didn't realize he was watching her that whole time. She smiles nodding her head as they both reach for her suitcase. They both chuckle nervously as he rubs his cheek before grabbing it again. Maya blushes chewing her lip as she takes the gift he gave her downstairs with them.

She locked her door as they head out towards the bar where she see her mom and dad. "My baby is leaving me." Maya laughs as her dad squeezes her tightly while her mom wiped at her eyes.

Maya smiled at her enjoying the warmth she always got in her heart from watching as her mom never failed to cry when Shawn showed Maya affection. She knew it was because her own dad wasn't around and now that she had Shawn he never failed to show it.

Something he had been doing since official becoming her dad in high school. Even in a bar full of strangers and regulars. "Dad we have to get going you got to let go." Maya laughs as he shakes his head. "Give me five more minutes." Maya laughs as her mom joins in hugging her as well.

"Okay you two people are starting to stare. I'll call when we land and I'll call every day even though it's only for the weekend." She says as Josh chuckles next to Shawn. "Josh I'm putting you in charge of watching my baby. Keep her safe." Shawn tells him as he pinches Maya's cheeks.

"You got it Shawn. I'll guard her with my life." Josh says winking as Maya looks his way. "What's this baby girl?" Her mom ask pointing at the box in her hand. "It's from Josh." She says as her mom laughs telling her to open it. "I did it's a bag to carry my sketchbook and pencils in." Maya tells her as she pulls it out the box showing her.

"Josh you're so sweet you got it monogrammed." Her mom says as Maya looks at the bag now noticing that her name was on the bottom corner. She bit her lip looking at him as she sees the slightest bit of pink on his cheeks. "Well I try." He says with a shrug of his shoulders.

Maya playfully rolls her eyes as she kisses her parents cheeks as Josh grabs her bags again. "I'll call you when I land." She says trying to hurry out the door since her dad was running towards her saying my baby.

"It's not funny." Maya says as she gets in Josh's car. "I'm not laughing at you it's just so weird to see Shawn so domesticated." Maya smiled as she stares out the window having Shawn in her and her mom's life elated her. She felt complete like the missing piece to her family puzzle was finally found.

She freezes when she feels Josh take her hand in his. "It's nice to see you so happy Hart." Maya smiles looking at their hands before looking at his face. "Well maybe if you were around more you would see me even happier." He intertwines their fingers as Maya feels her heart beating faster.

"I just may do that." He says as Maya feels her cheeks heat up as she looks back out the window wondering if he could feel how fast her heart was beating since he had his thumb rubbing the inside of her wrist.

Maya playfully nudged Farkle who was giving her a look as soon as he seen her walk towards the plane with Josh in tow. She shook her head as she watched Josh hand their bags to the pilot.

"Where's Riles?" Maya asked as they see her running towards them laughing as she throws her shoes towards them. As soon as she gets closer Maya pulls her away to the side. "Why didn't you tell me that Boing was coming with?" She asked as Riley widen her eyes before they both looked over at Josh who was talking with the geniuses.

"Sorry Peaches I was going to warn you but I got sidetracked. He needs this trip anyways that ugh dumped him." Maya clamped her hands over her mouth as everyone looks at them since she shouted what pretty loudly. "He didn't tell you?" Riley asked as she shook her head.

"Probably waiting for the right time. You know uncle Josh." Riley says as Maya gives her a look. "Okay so he didn't exactly tell me. My dad did accidentally." Maya laughed as they walk back towards the plane. "Are you going to be okay on this trip though? I mean with uncle Josh?" Riley whispers as they sit down.

Maya looked at her and then Josh who winks at her making her smile and shake her head. "I think I'll be okay." She says as Riley smiles before opening her book. Maya grabbed her sketchbook out her new bag running her fingers over her name.

She looked back at Josh who had closed his eyes. Hopefully she thought as she begin to sketch.

"So who's wedding is this again?" Josh asked as they carried their bags into the hotel. "Cheese soufflé and Missy. They thought quickie wedding in Vegas and save money for the honeymoon." Maya tells him as they wait for Farkle to get their keys. Maya looked at Josh as he stared at his phone with his eyebrows furrowed.

She wanted to ask him about his breakup but didn't want to pry since technically Riley wasn't supposed to know and neither was she. "You okay?" She asked as he sighed putting his phone away. He looks at her and nods his head as Farkle walks back towards the group.

"Here you go. I got us the penthouse." Farkle tells them as he hands them each a key. They all cheer as they make their way upstairs as Maya sees Riley walking fast towards them with her cheeks all flushed. She looks at her weirdly and then smiles mischievously when she sees why.

"Isn't it weird that Charlie and Missy are having their bachelor and bachelorette parties tonight and then getting married tomorrow?" Riley asked as Maya and her got ready.

"Well because we're cool like that." They turn around and see Missy standing there with a smile on her face as they run towards each other hugging. "Bradford you're so not cool." Maya laughed as Missy playfully glares at her.

During high school Missy had changed a lot from the bully she was in middle school and they became friends with her. Her along with Charlie became apart of their friends group.

After talking with Missy for awhile Maya and Riley finish getting ready as Maya heads towards the living room area. "Hart?" Maya turned around and seen Josh with his mouth slightly open as he looked her up and down.

"You clean up well." She says lightly laughing. She tilts her head as Josh scratches his head as his phone rings. He looks at it before looking at Maya again. "Well you look gorgeous." He smiles softly before walking away.

"Oh yeah you're going to be fine." Maya jumped as she sees Riley smiling at her. "He just got out a relationship Riles I'm not going there. Okay?" She nudges her as Riley hands her a shot. "Okay Peaches whatever you say just be careful okay."

Maya downs her shot as Josh comes back looking their way. "I'll be careful." She tells her as they clink their drinks.

Maya groaned as she squinted at the sun before covering her face with her pillow. Her head was throbbing. She could still feel the sun hitting her face so she covers it up with her hands. She lowers her hands as she hears someone's light snoring. She widens her eyes sitting up as she notices she isn't alone in her bed.

Riley say in the bakery tapping her pen against her coffee cup as she went over her class schedule for the week. Usually she worked on it on the weekend but she wasn't going to be home. She down the rest of her coffee as she checked her phone. She had only an hour and a half to finish before she had to head to the airport.

She couldn't believe she was actually going to Las Vegas. It wasn't really her scene but she was technically best man and maid of honor since she got Charlie and Missy back together.

"Ms. Matthews you realize it's the weekend right?" She looked up seeing her dad standing by the booth she was in. "I'm well aware Mr. Matthews just finishing up some work before I leave." She knew as soon as she said that he was going to sit down and say something to her about it.

"About that sweetie, are you sure you should go? I'm mean Vegas? Who still goes there anymore?" He ask as Riley tries to hide her smile. "Dad I'm going for my friends wedding. What do you think I'm going to do?" She asked even though she knew the answer.

"Oh I know what you kids are going to do and I will have none of it. That's why I want Josh to go with you." Riley widen her eyes as she looks at him. "Uncle Josh? Dad we don't need a babysitter besides I highly doubt his girlfriend will want him going with us to Vegas."

"Well she broke up with him so it doesn't matter." His eyes widen as Riley spits out her coffee. "When did this happen?" She asked as her dad shushed her since Josh was walking towards them. "Hey niece." He smiles sitting down next to her. She looked at him trying to see if he looked upset or not but he looked normal.

"What are you doing?" He asked noticing her stare at him. "Nothing. So what do you plan to do this weekend?" She ask nonchalantly as her dad shakes his head at her. "Nothing much maybe work and find a new pla...What are you doing this weekend?" He asked changing the subject.

Riley looked at him shaking her head she almost forgot that he was just like Maya and had a habit of shoving his problems and feelings into a box pretending they weren't there. "You want to go to Vegas?" She asked smiling at him. She waited as he thought about and hoped she was making the right decision.

She knew Maya still had a small crush on him and never let herself get to close. Although his witch of an ex girlfriend never let him out of her sight so Maya being Maya hid them. But Riley knew if Josh was ever around those feelings came back full force.

She would have to keep an eye on them this weekend.

"Sure sounds fun. I could use some fun." He says with a smile as her dad hits the table. "I'll come too it does sound fun." Riley and Josh share a look as they begin to laugh. "No offense dad but I'm not sure how the group is going to feel having their old history teacher tagging along with them."

He scoffed folding his arms across his chest before he got up pretending to be hurt. "He's so dramatic. He's going to pout until I talk to him." Riley says standing up gathering her things as she looks at the time. "Shoot I'm going to be so late for Maya." She grabs her phone about to call her when Josh stops her.

"I'll go get her. I need to grab a couple things for the trip anyways." He tells her as Riley looks at him. "What?" He ask looking at her weirdly as she does it back to him. "Nothing just don't be late okay?" He salutes her as he walks out the door.

She wondered if it was a good idea letting him go since he was recently single. She knew Maya wouldn't want to be with someone who was on the rebound. She just knew those feelings Maya had for him hadn't fully gone away.

And she was determined not to let her best friend get her heart broken by anyone. That included her uncle Josh. She shook her head knowing she needed to give Maya some warning about him coming along. She was just about to hit call when she gets interrupted.

"Riley dad said to tell you that he is very upset and wishes to not speak to you and he's in the kitchen so steer clear." Auggie tells her as she groans shaking her head. "Do me a favor and put this stuff in my car while I deal with him please"

She playfully nudges Auggie who was laughing saying she should just take him with her. She shakes her head as she sees her dad sitting on a stool eating a piece of cake frowning as soon as he sees her. "Dad are you really going to act like this?" She asked smiling and shaking her head as he turned looking away from her.

"Do you really want to hang with a bunch of your old students?" She smiled as she leaned her head on his shoulder. "How about I bring you back some of that popcorn you like that mom hates?" He smiled at that as she hugged him. "Be safe sweetie and don't forget my popcorn."

She laughed hugging him as she kissed his cheek heading out the door. She shook her head as Auggie was sitting in the driver seat smiling at her. "What are you doing?" She asked as he rolled the window down. "Please Riley. I can only take listening to dad sing along to the radio driving Ava and I around for so long."

She laughed as she opened the door and he groaned getting out. He starts walking away as she shakes her head. "Little brother if you want to borrow the car you need to actually get in so I can give it to you." He smiled running and sliding across her car as she gasps.

"August Matthews don't ever do that again or I'll murder you." She tells him checking the time. She was so late she just hoped Josh got Maya and that she didn't kill her for not warning her about him coming along. "Okay remember to turn off the lights and lock the doors and don't forget to put gas in the tank..."

"Okay Riley I got it. Geez your as bad as mom." Auggie tells her making her gasps. "Hey you want to borrow my car or what?" She asked pulling into the airport. She gets out grabbing her bags as she checked the time again. She only had five minutes before the plane would leave her.

"Don't forget Auggie and no baby making in my car please." She said as Auggie turned red starting the car up. "I promise no baby making grandma." She gasps as he pulled away waving at her as she grabbed her bags running towards her friends.

"Dad we just landed how could I have possibly gotten your popcorn already?" Riley asked pacing the lobby of the hotel they were staying at. She shook her head knowing she should have let his call go to voicemail instead of answering it.

Riley rolled her eyes listening to her dad but smiles when she sees Charlie and Missy walking in. She was about to make her way over when she sees who was right behind them. Lucas Friar. A frat brother of Charlie's and the guy Riley had a drunken one night stand with.

She didn't know if he would remember her since they were both drunk and she woke up first freaked out and ran away pretending it didn't happen. She had told Maya about it two days later after she got over her hangover and the initial shock.

She bit her lip feeling her cheeks heat up as she squeaked when her dad shouted her name. She dropped her phone glancing around before picking it up telling him she'd call him later. She made her way back towards her friends.

Maya sees her and admittedly starts smiling as she narrows her eyes at her shaking her head. Maya laughed as they made their way towards their room trying to avoid Lucas altogether. "So Riley you dating anyone?" Missy asked as Maya smiles sitting on the bed.

"Nope." She said popping the p as Missy laughs. "Teaching got you that busy huh?" She asked as Riley looks for her shoes . "Yes educating young children's minds is more important. They're our future." Missy laughs as she heads for the door. "You never know you may find someone this weekend."

"Yeah Riles you may find someone this weekend." Maya says smiling mischievously as she walks out laughing when Riley throws a pillow. "So you sure you'll be okay?" Riley asked Maya handing her another shot. "Yes. Will you be?" She asked gesturing at Lucas who had walked in with Charlie.

Riley widen her eyes downing her shot as Maya laughed. She would be okay she doubted he remembered her anyways. She would be okay wouldn't she?

Riley turned over shivering as she pulls the blanket around her more feeling like a marching band was inside her brain. She froze when she feels someone pull her closer pulling her into their bare chest. She mentally curses herself as she takes a deep breath and looks up silently screaming.

Just another idea I had. Let me know what you think.
