Chapter 1
"Do my feet look extra swollen to you?" Riley Friar asked, lifting her feet up onto the coffee table and wiggling her toes. She couldn't decide if they were swollen or she was just seeing things.
"No," Lucas Friar shook his head and then smirked at his twenty-eight year old wife. "They look perfect to me."
"You're just saying that," Riley rolled her eyes and dropped her feet onto the floor.
"I think you look perfect," Lucas insisted.
"You always say that to me," Riley raised an eyebrow at her husband.
"That's because I mean it," Lucas said. She smiled sweetly at her husband and leaned over to kiss him softly on the lips.
"Yuck," five year old Justin Friar stuck his tongue out at his mom and dad.
"Shouldn't you be in bed mister?" Riley raised an eyebrow at her son and watched him smile sheepishly at her.
"I wanted to say goodnight to you and daddy," Justin flashed her his best smile and she shook her head. He had inherited his dad's smile and always knew when exactly to use it. She always had a hard time saying no when Lucas used that smile on her and it seemed her son had learned the magic of it.
"Come here," Riley opened her arms and the little boy rushed over. He quickly crawled into her lap and rested his head on her shoulder.
"Are you sleepy, buddy?" Lucas asked, reaching out and ruffling his son's hair.
"A little," Justin shrugged and then looked up at his mom. She smiled as the green eyes that matched his dad's looked at her questioningly. "Hey mommy?"
"Yeah baby?" Riley asked.
"When the baby comes, is it going to be just like when Kayden was born?" Justin asked.
"Kind of," Riley nodded.
"But this time you are going to have a little sister," Lucas said.
Riley smiled and felt her chest fill with her love. She looked down at her five month bump and thought of the little girl that would be joining their family in just four months. Her oldest, Justin Joshua Friar, was five years old and their baby. The two had found out they were pregnant with him just two months after getting married at twenty-three. To say they were surprised was an understatement but it ended up being the best surprise to date. That was until Riley found out two years later that they were expecting another little boy, Kayden Joseph Friar. He was the sweetest little boy in the world and meant the world to his parents and brother. He won the heart of just about anyone he talked to.
"Do you think she's going to look like you momma?" Justin asked.
"We don't know," Lucas shrugged.
"I hope she does," Justin said.
"Yeah?" Riley smiled at her son.
"Yeah," Justin nodded. "Because then she will be pretty."
"You're a great kid, you know that?" Riley leaned forward and kissed the top of her son's brown hair. Suddenly, the three Friar's heard little footsteps and saw the youngest of the family standing in the living room with his teddy bear.
"What are you doing awake, little man?" Lucas asked, opening his arms and waiting for Kayden to jump into them.
"Bad dream," the three year old whimpered and rested his head on his dad's chest.
"Well you are safe now," Riley promised as she reached out to brush a piece of dirty blonde hair off his face. His brown eyes that matched hers looked up at her and she could see the fear.
"Can we all lay here?" Justin asked.
"Of course," Lucas nodded.
"As long as you want," Riley said. The family of four, almost five, snuggled together on the couch and savored the moment. It was one of those moments that they loved most.
"I love you," Lucas smiled at his wife.
"I love you too," Riley smiled back. She snuggled her son close to her and reached out to run Kayden's arm comfortingly. "And we love both of you."
"Love you," Justin whispered.
"Love you," Kayden mumbled as his eyes got heavy and soon the two Friar boys were asleep. Riley and Lucas shared a smile as they watched their sons fall asleep.

"Are there any cookies?" Isadora Smackle-Minkus looked into the pantry and then over at her husband. He looked up from his laptop and shrugged.
"I don't know," Farkle Minkus said. "Do you not see any?"
"Would I be asking you if I saw any?" Smackle shot her a husband a look.
"What's wrong?" Farkle asked, immediately noticing something was off about his wife.
"Do I look extra big to you today?" Smackle asked. She rested her hands on her seven month bump and turned sideways. "I feel extra big."
"I think you look beautiful," Farkle insisted. He stood up from his seat and walked over to where she was standing, immediately resting his hands on her bump.
"You have to say that," Smackle shook her head.
"I do not have to say anything," Farkle disagreed.
"I feel so bloated today," Smackle said and rested her back against the counter.
"How can I help?" Farkle asked, feeling bad.
"A hug might be nice," Smackle smiled softly.
"Now that I can do," Farkle nodded.
He walked over towards his wife and immediately pulled her into his arms. He tried to pull her as close as he could without crushing her bump. When the two were twenty-five, they decided that they were ready to get married. After being together for over ten years, they knew marriage was the next step for them. It was something they were completely ready for. They enjoyed being married and just them for three years before they decided they were ready to expand their family. After about eight months of trying, Smackle found out she was pregnant and now they were two months away from meeting their little girl.
"Do you have to go into work today?" Smackle asked, pulling back to look at her husband. She saw his computer and papers set up on the kitchen table and really hoped that he didn't have to go into the lab today.
"Nope," Farkle shook his head. "I took the whole weekend off. I got most of my work done this week so that I could spend the weekend with you."
"How would you feel about watching a movie in bed?" Smackle asked.
"That sounds perfect to me," Farkle agreed. "Maybe I'll even order Chinese food later."
"You do love me," Smackle smiled. For the last week, all she had been craving was Chinese and Farkle was hoping this craving passed soon. He wasn't sure how much more Chinese food he could handle.
"I do," Farkle nodded. "I love both of you."
"And we love you too," Smackle promised. She felt her husband rest his hands on her growing bump again and then lean forward to kiss her. She smiled right before their lips touched and felt the love swarm through her body. She was sure that she would always feel like this. She would always love kissing Farkle Minkus.

"So, what do you think Hannah?" Maya Matthews smiled at her four year old daughter. The mini blonde lifted a finger up to her chin and pretended to think about it for a minute.
"I like the blue," Hannah Penelope Matthews said.
"Of course you do," Josh Matthews shook his head at his daughter. The blonde eyed cutie looked up at her dad and flashed him the little smirk that she inherited from her mom.
"I told you the blue was the perfect color for the nursery," Maya stuck her tongue out at her husband and he rolled his eyes.
"Hannah," Josh kneeled down in front of his daughter and held out the green paint chip. "Are you sure you don't like the green?"
"I'm sure," Hannah nodded.
"What can I say?" Maya shrugged her shoulders. "She has good taste just like her mom."
"I have good taste!" Josh insisted.
"I mean," Maya playfully smirked. "You did marry me."
"Well aren't you just so confident?" Josh smirked right back at her.
"I am," Maya smiled and then chuckled softly.
The blonde felt her heart start to race from the look her husband was giving her. After twelve years together, she knew the spark between them was as strong as ever. When Maya turned sixteen, she and Josh had finally decided to end their long game. Neither could wait much longer and wanted to be with each other more than anything. It ended up being the best decision of their lives. At just twenty-one, Maya married the love of her life and never looked back. For the next three years, they traveled and she got inspiration for her art while he photographed the world. Then at twenty-four, Maya found out that she was pregnant with their little girl. Now here they were four years later, standing in the nursery, and getting ready to welcome their son in just three months.
"What did your mom bribe you with?" Josh asked, looking back into his daughter's blue eyes.
"Joshua!" Maya shot her husband a look and he raised an eyebrow at her.
"Bribe me?" Hannah repeated.
"What did she tell you that you could have if you picked blue?" Josh elaborated.
"Cookies!" Hannah exclaimed.
"Hannah," Maya groaned.
"Ha!" Josh jumped up and pointed at his wife. "I knew it."
"Oops," Hannah shrugged her shoulders and smiled innocently at her mom.
"You may think you're sneaky Maya Penelope but I know you," Josh took a step closer to his wife and smirked.
"What happened to our secret?" Maya looked down at her mini-me.
"I can't lie to daddy," Hannah insisted.
"That's right," Josh ruffled her hair. "Lying is very bad."
"Do I still get my cookies?" Hannah asked, looking between her mom and dad.
"First you have to pick a color," Josh said. He crouched down in front of her and held up the green paint chip. "Do you like the green?"
"Or do you like the blue?" Maya asked, quickly walking over and kneeling down in front of her daughter. She and Josh were kneeling shoulder to shoulder, right in front of their daughter.
"Hmm," Hannah lifted her finger to her chin and scrunched her face in concentration. Both Maya and Josh had to hold back a chuckle because she looked so adorable. "I like the blue."
"Yes!" Maya pumped her fist up in the air and heard her husband groan in protest.
"Sorry daddy," Hannah walked over and wrapped her arms around her dad. He smiled and wrapped his arms around his little girl. Maya smiled at the two of them because it was her favorite sight in the world. There was no doubt in her mind that Hannah was a daddy's girl. She felt the baby shift and rested a hand on her six month baby bump.
"How about those cookies?" Maya suggested.
"Really?" Hannah widened her blue eyes in excitement.
"And pizza," Josh added.
"Yay!" Hannah cheered and rushed out of the room.
"I swear she gets that from Riles," Maya rolled her eyes and chuckled. She then softened her eyes and looked at her husband. "Are you really okay with the blue?"
"Are you happy with it?" Josh asked.
"I am," Maya nodded.
"Then I am more than okay with it," Josh promised.
"I love you Josh," Maya smiled.
"I love you too," Josh leaned over and kissed her softly.
"Come on mommy and daddy!" Hannah called and the two parents laughed, standing up to walk out of the room.

"We need to move," Vanessa Babineaux announced as she walked into the master bedroom.
"What?" Zay Babineaux raised an eyebrow and looked over from where he was laying in their bed.
"I said that we need to move," Vanessa repeated as she got into the bed with her husband.
"Why do we need to move?" Zay asked. He felt her shift around and then saw her rest her hands on her almost eight month baby bump.
"Because there is no room in this apartment," Vanessa lifted her hands up and then dropped them on the bed in frustration.
"What are you talking about?" Zay scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion. "There is plenty of room in this apartment. This is a two bedroom and the last time I checked we were only having one baby."
"Are you being funny right now?" Vanessa shot him a look.
"I'm being confused right now," Zay said. He turned his body so that he was fully facing his wife. "What's going on?"
"The baby is going to be here in a month," Vanessa said and the panic filled her face. "A month! I feel like we have nothing ready."
"We have everything ready. The only thing that's left to put together is the changing table," Zay said.
"What if we aren't ready?" Vanessa whispered and his eyes softened. He could see that she was genuinely concerned about this.
After the groups trip to Texas in eighth grade, Zay and Vanessa had decided to keep in touch. At first they flirted with the idea of dating but then realized the distance might be too hard for them. They always stayed close friends and would talk all the time with the possibility of dating in the future. Then when they turned seventeen, Zay found out Vanessa was going to college in New York. It felt like fate to the both of them and they finally gave into their feelings. It was a love that grew stronger every day and by twenty- four, the two were married. It was the best decision they had ever made and now four years later, they were ready to welcome their first child into the world.
"I don't think any first time parent is ever ready," Zay insisted. "They are always nervous and afraid that they are going to mess up."
"Do you think we are going to mess up?" Vanessa asked.
"Of course we are," Zay nodded. "We are going to make mistakes but we are going to learn from them. We are going to learn from each other. But you know what?"
"What?" Vanessa asked.
"No one is ever going to love our little boy the way we are going to. We are going to be there for him from the minute he is born and for the rest of our lives," Zay explained.
"So you think we can do this?" Vanessa asked. She felt her husband reach out and grab onto her hand, giving it a squeeze.
"I know we can do this," Zay insisted.
"As long as we have each other," Vanessa smiled at her husband.
"Always," Zay promised.
"I would scoot over to kiss you but my entire body kind of fell asleep," Vanessa giggled. "The baby has decided that he doesn't want me to move from this exact stop."
"Blaming our kid already?" Zay smirked.
"I could blame you," Vanessa teased.
"How about I just come over there and kiss you?" Zay suggested.
"I think that's a good idea," Vanessa nodded. She watched as her husband scooted closer to her and then cupped her cheeks in his hands. He smiled at her once more and then leaned forward to kiss her.
"I love you," Zay whispered against her lips.
"I love you too," Vanessa promised.
"And we love you Zay junior," Zay leaned down and kissed her bump.
"That is not his name," Vanessa shook her head and laughed.
"Well until we decide on one that is what I am going to call him!" Zay insisted.
"Whatever you say," Vanessa smirked and then felt her husband lean over to kiss her again.

"Ugh," Vanessa groaned. She rested her hand on her back and slowly sat down on the couch in Topanga's.
"You sure look ready to have that baby," Maya smiled sympathetically at her friend. She had remembered being that pregnant with Hannah and the aches she felt.
"I still have a month to go," Vanessa sighed and then rested her back against the couch.
"I'm right there with you," Smackle rested her hand on her bump and nodded. "I mean, I have two months to go but I feel the exhaustion."
"And then the two of us are a month apart," Riley said as she gestured between herself and Maya.
"Can you believe within the next four months were are going to have a new baby every month?" Farkle asked, looking around at all of his pregnant friends.
"Two boys and two girls," Josh nodded.
"Can you believe that we are all having babies at the exact same time?" Lucas smirked.
"I bet you girls made some kind of pact about this," Zay looked at his wife and then three friends.
"We would never," Maya shook her head.
"It's just weird timing," Smackle insisted.
"But awesome," Riley smiled. "We did always say that it would be cool to have babies at the same time."
"Now our kids can be best friends like us," Vanessa smiled at the group.
"Maybe they will marry each other," Farkle laughed.
"Well we know Riley's and Maya's won't be getting married," Zay smirked. "That would just be weird."
"No one is marrying my little girl!" Lucas shook his head and rested a hand on his wife's baby bump.
"Aw, what's the matter?" Maya smirked at her friend. "No one good enough for your daughter?"
"She can't date until she's thirty," Lucas insisted.
"I'm not even thirty and we have two, almost three kids. Plus have been together for fourteen years," Riley pointed out.
"That's different," Lucas shook his head.
"Whatever you say man," Farkle laughed.
"I just love that we all get to experience this together," Riley rested her hands on her bump and smiled at her friends.
"Me too," Maya nodded.
"We did always say we would do everything together," Zay laughed.
"We just took it very literally," Josh smirked.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," Riley insisted. Everyone agreed with her and smiled at the group around them. They couldn't imagine a better chapter for this part of their lives.
"Does anyone else have a serious craving for Chinese food?" Smackle asked.
"No," Farkle groaned and suddenly he saw the three other girls widen their eyes.
"I do," Vanessa nodded.
"Me too," Riley and Maya both said.
"Chinese it is," Lucas said. The guys knew better than to get in the way of their wives cravings.
"Chop chop," Smackle clapped her hands at everyone. The group laughed and the guys knew that they were in for a fun few months.
