Chapter 1
"Lucas Friar!" Twenty-seven year old, Riley Friar exclaimed. Lucas heard his wife's call and rushed out of their bedroom and into the living room. She was standing in the kitchen with her hands on her hips and a stern look on her face.
"Yes honey?" Lucas raised an eyebrow and cautiously walked towards his wife.
"Did you buy that ice-cream that I asked for?" Riley raised an eyebrow.
Lucas tried not to laugh because he knew she was being serious but his wife looked so adorable. Her brown hair was pulled up into a messy bun on the top of her head. She had on a pair of his boxers and she wore one of his old tee shirts that clung to her eight month baby bump. He knew that husbands said it all the time about their wives, but he was convinced that she was the most beautiful pregnant woman he had ever seen. Her baby bump just looked natural on her. She looked like she was born to be a mother. He could see her staring at him intently and he sent her a smirk.
"Lucas!" Riley whined and he walked over to place a kiss on her cheek. "Don't kiss me! I'm trying to be mad at you."
"You can't be mad at me," Lucas smirked. He could see his wife struggling to maintain her point but saw in her eyes that he was right. "Plus, our friends will be here any minute."
"Yaaaaaaay!" Riley exclaimed and then placed a hand on her bump. "I think she's excited too."
"She really enjoys to kick you," Lucas placed his own hand on her bump.
"Tell me about it," Riley rolled her eyes. "It's her favorite thing to do at three in the morning."
"Only two more weeks," Lucas smiled. Riley could see the look of pure love in his eyes and knew that he was going to be great with their daughter. "I hope she looks just like her mommy."
"Stop," Riley blushed and pushed him away. Lucas just pulled her as close as her bump would allow him.
"If she is anything like her mom, she is going to be perfect. This I know for certain," Lucas said.
"I love you," Riley whispered.
"I love you too," Lucas kissed his wife and then kneeled down in front of her bump. "And I love you, little princess."
. .
"Peaches!" Riley exclaimed when she saw her engaged best friend walk through the front door.
"Riles!" Maya shrieked and rushed over to hug her pregnant best friend. "You look amazing!"
"I look like a whale," Riley groaned.
"You do not!" Maya protested. "I think pregnancy compliments you well."
"That's what Lucas said," Riley rolled her eyes.
"Good. Then I don't have to kick his butt," Maya smirked.
"Where is everyone else?" Riley asked, looking behind Maya for her other friends.
"They are outside with Lucas. I rushed up to see you," Maya explained.
"Wow, you got big," Zay said with wide eyes.
"Zay!" Lucas shoved his best friend and rolled his eyes.
"I didn't mean it like that! I just haven't seen you in a while," Zay quickly realized what he said and had the decency to look ashamed.
"That's okay. I would expect nothing less from you," Riley laughed as she walked over and hugged him.
"What about us?" Farkle asked as he walked up with Smackle.
"Farkle! Smackle!" Riley exclaimed and opened her arms for hugs. "I would normally rush over to you but I don't think anyone wants to see that."
"I would," Zay shrugged. Riley narrowed her eyes and her friend and he lifted his hands in defense. "Just kidding."
"Well everyone come inside," Riley waved her friends inside her house.
"Where's Josh?" Lucas asked Maya once everyone was inside and settled.
"He had to finish an assignment for work and then he's going to come down with Cory and Topanga," Maya explained.
"Any wedding plans?" Farkle asked.
"We decided to start planning once my adorable goddaughter was born," Maya said.
"Have you two picked a name yet?" Smackle asked.
"We did," Riley nodded.
"Well are you going to tell us?" Zay asked.
"Nope," Lucas shook his head.
"Why not?" Maya exclaimed.
"We decided to wait until she was born to tell everyone her name," Riley explained.
"That's so far away!" Farkle complained.
"It's like two weeks away," Riley laughed at her friends.
"Unless you are late," Smackle pointed out.
"Ugh, don't jinx it!" Riley groaned.
"I can't wait to meet baby Friar," Maya said. "She is going to be perfect."
"Yeah she is," Smackle agreed. Riley and Lucas shared a look. It was so nice to hear how excited their friends were about their baby. It only added to the excitement that they were already feeling.
. .
"Hey Riles," Maya greeted as she walked into her best friends bedroom. Riley looked up from the book she was reading and smiled as her best friend crawled into the bed.
"Hey Peaches," Riley said.
"So I wanted to ask you something," Maya said.
"You can ask me anything," Riley said as she tossed the book onto the night stand and gave her best friend her full attention.
"I know you have a ton on your mind and you will for months to come but I was kind of hoping that you would be my maid of honor," Maya said.
"Peaches!" Riley exclaimed.
"I know this is not a very creative way to ask and like nothing is set for my wedding," Maya said.
"Of course I will be your maid of honor!" Riley smiled.
"Okay good," Maya leaned forward to hug her best friend. "There is no way I would get married if you were not standing right there with me."
"I will always be right there with you," Riley promised. "I know things are going to get really crazy for me soon but you can always come to me. I will always have time for you."
"I really got luck you with as my best friend," Maya smiled.
"We both got lucky," Riley insisted. The two girls then noticed Lucas walk through the bedroom door.
"Let me guess," Lucas sighed. "I'm sleeping in another room?"
"Nah," Maya shook her head. "She's all yours tonight."
"Really?" Lucas raised an eyebrow.
"Enjoy the time alone while you can," Maya said. "Soon there will be someone else demanding your attention," She jumped up from the bed and smiled at the married couple. "Plus, she's all mine tomorrow."
"Deal," Riley laughed.
"Night guys," Maya waved at the two and then headed out of the bedroom.
"Is everything okay?" Lucas asked as he got into bed with his wife.
"She asked me to be her maid of honor," Riley smiled at her husband.
"Like we didn't see that one coming," Lucas laughed. Riley nudged his shoulder and laughed.
"Hopefully the baby lets me sleep tonight," Riley sighed. Lucas rested a hand on her bump and smiled.
"Hey in there. Let your mommy sleep, she needs all the sleep she can get," Lucas ran a thumb over her bump and then smiled at his wife. Riley felt her heart fill with love. She loved seeing Lucas talk to the baby and she knew that their little girl was going to have him wrapped around her finger.
. .
"Sit down," Zay pointed at the couch the next day. Lucas raised an eyebrow and then shared a look with Farkle, who just shrugged in return.
"What's going on?" Lucas asked.
"I have something I would like to say," Zay said.
"Oh?" Farkle raised an eyebrow.
"This is very difficult for me so I am only going to say it once," Zay said.
"Dude, what's going on?" Lucas asked, kind of worried about what was going on.
"I think Farkle should be the godfather," Zay declared.
"What?" Lucas and Farkle both asked at the same time.
"I know you have been having a hard time deciding between the two of us and y'all don't want to hurt either of our feelings. I have made the decision for you," Zay explained.
"Why did you decide this?" Lucas asked.
"He has played such a large part in your relationship. If it wasn't for him, who knows when you and Riley would have gotten together?" Zay shrugged.
"I don't know what to say," Lucas shook his head.
"Plus I got to be the best man," Zay said.
"Are you sure?" Lucas asked.
"Absolutely," Zay nodded. "I'm still going to be her favorite uncle."
"Thanks man," Farkle stood up and shook his hand.
"As long as I'm the next kid's godfather," Zay pointed at Lucas.
"Of course," Lucas promised.
. .
"So, are you nervous?" Smackle asked.
"Honestly? Insanely," Riley nodded.
"Really? I thought for sure you would be excited," Maya said.
"Oh I am," Riley nodded. "I am so excited to meet our little girl. I am just super nervous too."
"What's making you the most nervous?" Maya asked.
"Messing up her life. Failing at being a parent," Riley sighed.
"There is no way that you can do that," Smackle shook her head.
"She's right," Maya agreed. "You are going to be amazing at it. I have said it once, and I will say it again. This little girl is so lucky to have you as their mom."
"Oh look! That dress is so adorable!" Smackle exclaimed as she rushed over towards the rack of baby dresses.
"We already have so many dresses," Riley said.
"Oh hush," Maya brushed off her best friend. "If you did not want to buy more baby stuff, then you should not have brought us into a baby store."
"Fine, we can get one more dress," Riley agreed.
"She's so silly if she thinks that is all we are going to buy," Maya said to Smackle as the two rushed off and bought tons of clothes.
. .
"Riley!" Lucas exclaimed when he saw all the bags in their hands.
"They made me do it!" Riley pointed at her two best friends.
"It was so worth it," Maya said.
"Is it all clothes?" Zay asked as he rummaged through the bags.
"Duh," Maya swatted at his hand and pulled out a little purple dress. "Tell me that's not the cutest thing you've ever seen."
"It is pretty cute," Farkle agreed.
"She is going to be the best dressed kid around," Smackle said as she pulled out another dress.
"We are going to need to buy another house if you three keep going out shopping," Lucas shook his head.
"Oh be quiet Ranger Rick," Maya rolled her eyes.
"Yeah," Smackle agreed. "A baby can never have too much stuff."
Riley and Lucas watched as their friends sorted through the baby stuff and made random comments. They all tried to decide what baby girl Friar was going to be like. Smackle and Zay thought she was going to have Lucas's eyes and Riley's hair. Farkle and Maya were adamant that she would have Riley's big brown eyes and hair. It did not matter though. As long as she was happy and healthy, they were okay. Riley smiled up at her husband and knew that they were close to the due date. They knew that in just two weeks they were going to meet the little girl that would change their lives forever. They were both extremely excited that their best friends were here to celebrate this moment with them.
. .
"What are you doing in here?" Riley asked as she walked into the nursery that night. It was about two-thirty in the morning and she found Lucas sitting in the rocking chair just staring at the crib.
"I couldn't sleep," Lucas shrugged.
"You okay?" Riley asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Just thinking," Lucas said.
"About what?" Riley asked.
"How ready I am to be a dad. I just am sitting here in disbelief that in just two weeks, our little girl will be asleep in that crib. It doesn't seem real to me," Lucas explained.
"I know," Riley agreed.
"We can do this, right?" Lucas asked, looking up at his wife with concerned eyes.
"Absolutely," Riley nodded.
"How do you know?" Lucas asked.
"Because it's you and me," Riley smiled as she sat on the ottoman in front of his chair. "We handle this like we handle everything else in life, together."
"Together," Lucas repeated.
"As long as you have me and I have you, we can get through the rest. Teamwork," Riley grabbed onto his hand and felt him squeeze her hand in return.
"Team Friar," Lucas nodded.
"Team Friar," Riley repeated with a laugh.
