Hi so I thought this up when watching re-runs of Girl Meets World and I realised that bar the one episode of Good Luck Charlie and I think a small mention in I Didn't Do It there has been no main Disney Characters with same-sex parents. Girl Meets World is tackling issues that Disney hasn't so far and with rumours of Season 3 talking a darker turn I wanted to write some fluff.
I have issues with a lot of the characters on GMW but the only one that I do really like is Lucas so...I have a couple of ideas to make this into a longer story however I don't mind leaving it as a oneshot.
Please read and review. However no flames please.
This story does contain slash, if you have a problem with that then stop here.

And Lucas Makes Three
In Which Lucas has two gay dads who are awesome, supportive and slightly insane. During the course of Girl Meets World they battle, prejudice, friends, love triangles, teacher's teaching lessons that may change their lives and being the tight nit unit they were meant to be. Or in which Disney Channel present a character with gay parents as they should have done long before (personal opinion)
Chapter 1-And Lucas Meets Riley, Maya and Farkle.
The morning was bright and unnaturally loud. Lucas was getting use to the loud noises when compared to the quietness that the mornings in Texas could bring. Their old house and been quiet and familiar and the change from a house to an apartment had been jarring.
The only good thing that had come out of the move so far was that as a compromise his fathers were giving Lucas his own Subway Card, this gave him access to all of New York and if there was something he was looking forwards to it was exploring. In Texas he explored everywhere and even though the change was jarring he was sort of looking forward to it.
Hopefully Lucas thought as he pulled on his jeans and his jumper, he could sneak out of the apartment to the nearest Subway station without either one of his father's noticing.
Yeah cause there was a chance of that.
He managed to just make it out into the living room when a voice he knew intimately caught up with him.
"Morning Cuddlebug"
Even though there was nobody in the room Lucas still went scarlet. Honestly didn't they know how embarrassing that was?
He turned around. His Pops (Jamie) was sat at the kitchen counter with a mug of coffee from the coffee pot (which had rather amusedly been the first thing that had set up in their new house, before they had even had beds) he was dressed in his pyjama bottoms and a black v neck that Lucas knew belonged to his other dad (Austin), his sketchbook was out in front of him and he was doodling.
"That nickname got old when I turned six" he said dithering on the spot.
"Breakfast?" Jamie asked still not looking up over his sketch but there was something about the tone that made Lucas know it was an unwinnable battle.
He paused, "Just coffee" he said finally sitting down on one of the stools near the kitchen island opposite his Dad.
Jamie snorted. "Dream on kid" he said still not looking up at him.
"Where's Dad?" Lucas asked looking around as his other Dad finally stood up reaching for the milk.
"Shower, eggs, bacon and toast cause it's your first day, done my style" his Dad replied grinning at the end of the sentence.
"I was just gonna grab a coffee and a chocolate chip muffin on the Subway" Lucas protested half-heartedly already settling down in his seat. His Pops crispy bacon and scrambled eggs were the stuff of legend.
"Yeah that's cute kid" his Pops said fixing him with a look. "You wanna try and get that past your father, your father that happens to be a Doctor and between the two of us lectures to the death about the importance of sugar?"
Lucas rolled his eyes stretching out his hands as his Pops winked.
"You nervous?" he said frying the bacon.
"No" Lucas lied. His Pops picked up on the tone anyway.
"Liar" he turned to scramble the eggs as the toast popped up out the toaster.
Lucas bit his lip, he didn't want to admit it but…back in Texas with the exception of Zay he'd lived in a small town and there had been crap, a lot of it and Lucas had dealt with it, had found himself a best friend, a brother who hadn't cared. He didn't know what had happened for his Dads to suddenly decide to take the drastic action of moving them across the country but he could hazard a guess. He just hoped that he could keep his head down, the last thing either one of his father's needed was a call into the Principal because he had hit someone again.
"Yeah" he said finally as his Pops dished up his breakfast. "Kinda don't know if anyone will like me"
"Who wouldn't like you?" came a voice from the doorway. Lucas looked up from spreading liberal amounts of butter on his toast to see his other father Austin (and yeah they all knew the pun) in the doorway. His hair was wet and he was in jeans and a shirt and he looked exhausted.
"Late shift?" Lucas asked having seen that look too many times before. His Dad snorted running a hand through his dark hair. "There anything other?" he said crossing the room and pressing a kiss into Jamie's blonde hair and ruffling Lucas who rolled his eyes. Just when he'd gotten it perfect as well.
"Anyway, who wouldn't like you?" his Dad said grabbing a piece of toast. He must really be tired Lucas thought shovelling eggs down his throat if he was not bitching about the amount of carbs they were eating, granted his Dad was your average Doctor but he was a health freak if ever there was one.
Lucas shrugged.
"Look" his Pops said gently "We spoke to the Superintendent Mr Turner, he seemed like an OK guy" his Dad snorted.
"He seemed more interested in your father if you ask me" he said looking utterly disgruntled.
"Ugh" Lucas said shaking his head.
"Some people do still find me attractive you know" his Pops said glaring at him.
"I know I do" his Dad said grinning.
"Ugh" Lucas said again because he really doesn't need this crap,
"Don't worry about it, Mr Turner was very accepting about the fact that there was just me and your Dad and he said that the teachers would all be accepting as well…in fact there was one he couldn't shut up about"
He turned to Lucas's Pops then, "What was his name?"
"Cory Matthews" his Pops said turning back to his sketchpad. "I think he teaches History"
"See" his Dad said grinning, "Everything will be alright"
Lucas personally didn't think it would be that easy but preferred to live in ignorance for as long as possible. He finished his last mouthful and forced himself to smile.
"I'll be home around three" he said standing up.
"Ok" his Pops said grinning that easy grin again, "Chances are you'll have to let yourself in again but you're ok with that" he grinned even wider. "And when we get home I promise you that we will order in copious amount of pizza and garlic bread" he winked at Lucas who couldn't help but smile back, this time willingly.
"I'll text you both with how the day went" he said grinning.
"Good" his Dad said kissing Lucas's hair as his Pops gripped his hand for a split second. "I promise you, your gonna meet some good friends"
And that was how Lucas Friar found himself on the Subway.
He knew how to keep himself to himself until something that could only be described as strange…well…found him…
All he could see at first was a blonde girl full of attitude in his face, extremely pretty with blonde curls and a quick talking mouth, but before he could begin to see past that there was another girl in his lap almost.
This girl was different. She had brown hair and brown eyes that seemed to go on for miles, Lucas suddenly felt that he would be able to see everything and anything in those eyes, that there was something about this girl that would change his life regardless of what context.
And then as soon as she was there, she was gone.
Once his meeting with the Principal was over, Lucas took a moment to gather himself before pushing open the door to Mr Matthews History Class. The teacher looked shocked. Clearly he hadn't been forewarned that Lucas was coming or he would have done something about it.
And…Holy Hell there was both of the girls from this morning. Both as pretty in person as they had been that morning.
As it turned out their names were Riley Matthews and Maya Hart.
After History, there was Math in which Lucas kept his head down and hoped to God he wasn't called on to answer any question, then Science which he was actually pretty good at followed by lunch. It was there that he sat with Maya and Riley and a boy that introduced himself as Farkle.
Their homework was on the Civil War and due in tomorrow. Lucas who actually done essays on the Civil War back in Texas didn't find it particularly challenging. He was just wondering if his Dad (who was stricter than his Pops) would allow him to recycle an old essay when the blonde girl named Maya started her war on homework. More to his surprise he realised that the other girl Riley didn't seem to stop her friend despite the fact that her Dad was her teacher.
He leaned back on the couch when he got home kicking off his jeans to find his more comfortable pair of sweats reaching for his phone and opening up the group message.
What was he supposed to say? That he had met people that could possibly become his friends but that he wasn't sure that they were all sane? That compared to some days in Texas where he'd survived days by hitting people with Zay by his side he wasn't sure that was going to happen.
In the end he managed to type out the words.
"Just got home, all ok, met some nice people and have a ton of homework"
He paused staring around the new apartment at the new life they had for themselves that promised them better security than their home back home had. New York was jarring and he was still unsure.
At the very least tomorrow was a new day.
Lucas came home from school the next day anger bubbling under the surface of his skin, soaking wet and his teeth gritted together.
"Woah" his Pops said putting down his sketchbook and grinning when he saw him. "What you do fall in the river?"
His Dad poked him in the back of the head. "Get out of those clothes Lucas" he said his Doctor side coming through. "You'll catch something"
"What happened to you?" his Pops asked putting down his pencil. It's a landscape of the skyline of Manhattan, the gallery his Pops got a job at commissioning him to draw whatever they want him to.
"School happened" Lucas said shortly tugging a warmer jumper over his head and shaking his wet jeans off.
He looks up to see his Dads exchanging a look. It's dark but it's full of what looks to him like fear, and he realises what there thinking of. "No" he says sharply. "Nothing like that I promise you"
"Ok" his Dad says slowly "Then what happened?"
Lucas sighs "You remember I told you about this girl, Maya"
"Cute brunette that sat on your lap?" his Pops asks reaching for the milk.
"No" Lucas says irritably. Honestly this is why he doesn't talk girls with them.
"Blonde with the attitude" his Dad says smiling and Lucas nods. "She staged a homework rebellion by talking a sparkler and trying to set fire to it, however she accidently hit the smoke alarm and all the sprinklers were set off and the entire school was soaked"
There was a split second before his Dad started laughing.
"It's not funny" Lucas snapped running a hand through his wet hair.
"It is" his Dad grins, "This Maya girl sounds like a hot load of trouble, kinda like your Pops at that age" he winks.
"I wasn't that bad" his Pops argues back.
His Dad rolls his eyes. "Lab fire" he said carefully. His Pops rolls his eyes right back.
"What?" Lucas asked looking confused.
"One day in our Freshman Year, your Pops gets it into his head that the experiment were doing is to tame, he gets a hold of these chemicals and mixes them together and then the room is suddenly engulfed in flames, and your father is there clutching a bottle grinning like a mad man claiming he was having fun"
Lucas laughed.
"What happened then?" he asked grinning.
"Oh I got suspended for a week" his Pops said grinning back, "But on the plus side your father began to notice me"
"Was hard not to even before" his Dad says winking.
Lucas decided it was best to change the subject. He has walked in on his father's going at it like rabbits one to many times, which is just…ugh…
"You think Maya will be suspended?" he asks as his Dad passes him a mug of hot chocolate and perches on the other side of the sofa.
"If she does then she'll bounce back. She sounds like a tough kid"
Lucas nodded of that much he knew was true.
"You know" he said carefully. "I think I might like it here" he paused "You know there are pony's near the Subway?"
His Dad hisses "I think there rats Cuddlebug"
"Not the nickname" Lucas says groaning. God the two of them are embarrassing. Then he remembers something.
"Wait…rats?"
His Dad rolls his eyes, "I think we should call it a night" he says casually. "Go hop in the shower and I'll get started on dinner" Lucas nodded.
"Hey" he said casually turning around. "I think I'm gonna like it here" he repeats.
"Good" comes the reply.
It's that night when Lucas realises it, it doesn't matter that there in a new State, a new home, a new life, none of it matters, because Zay is still there, because he has new friends now such as Riley, Maya and Farkle, he has new teachers and a new school. And more importantly he has his Dads, for better or for worse the three of them are a family sucked up into this crazy world and Lucas won't let anything come between them again. And that's all that's important to him.
Lucas makes three after all.
And let me know what you think
