Topanga was currently in the process of changing Harper's dipper. Topanga sighed as she put Harper back into her crib. Today was the day she'd finally be going back to work. It had been exactly 4 months since Harper was born. She didn't want to leave Harper with a baby sitter but what choice did she have.

She was also upset about going back because of the way she looked. She'd lost most of the baby weight; Topanga still wasn't satisfied with the way her body looked.

"Hiya." Cory said leaning against the threshold of the door. Topanga smiled and turned towards him.

"Hi." Cory walked over to Topanga and circled his arm around her shoulder.

"You nervous about going back to work?"

"Yeah a little actually, I mean it's been 4 months." Topanga sighed as she and Cory headed to their room.

"Topanga Matthews nervous? I've never heard that before." Cory teased. Topanga rolled her eyes and sat down on the bed. She twirled the ends of her hair and she stared at the wall.

"Honey, you're gonna be fine I promise, you're Topanga Matthews a killer shark who never gives up." Topanga smiled and she pecked his lips gently.

"Thanks babe." Her hand grasped the back of his curls.

"Babe, I like it." Topanga laughed and headed into the bathroom to get ready for the day.


Riley and Maya stood in the kitchen fixing themselves cereal. "So, what's going on with you and Ranger Rick I mean are you two going out again?" Maya asked as she poured cheerios into a bowl.

"I don't really know, I mean we hang out a lot and we've kissed a few times since we kissed at the hospital 4 months ago but I don't know if I'd consider it dating yet."

"Well then what would you call that?" Maya asked as she stuffed her face with cinnamon flavored cheerios.

"I don't know ok, but I will tell you that it's nothing like it was when we were dating. Things almost still feel awkward."

"Yeah I get it; things are definitely going to be different." Riley smiled and sat down at the table with Maya. Cory came down a little later.

"So you're gonna be back full time now aren't ya?" Maya asked. Cory hadn't been coming to work every day for the past few months since he was helping Topanga out with Harper. Since Topanga's maternity leave was over he would be back full time.

"Yep and I know you're really excited Maya." Cory teased. Maya made a face.

"Good morning!" Topanga said cheerfully as she stepped into the kitchen. Cereal began to fall out of Cory's mouth as he stared at Topanga. It was the first time in 4 months Topanga had on a full face of makeup, her hair curled, and she was wearing something other than sweats or jeans.

"Mommy daddy's drooling again." Auggie commented. Riley and Maya snickered.

Topanga turned to Cory and saw him wiping the milk and cereal off his jaw.

"You look, amazing." He said getting up to stand next to her.

"Thanks honey, but next time, try not to have cereal in your mouth when you're drooling." She teased.

Cory rolled his eyes and put his bowl in the dishwasher. "Well I'm gonna go, have a good first day back sweetie." Cory said.

"Good luck kisses?" Topanga asked. Cory smiled and dipped kissed Topanga, her hand grasping onto his curls.

They both stood up and Cory twirled her around. "Ew." Maya and Riley said making gagging noises.

"Bye honey." Cory said kissing her quickly.

"See you two at school." Cory grabbed his blazer and headed out the door.

"Why does he have to be my teacher again?" Riley whined to Topanga.

"Life is funny like that." Topanga responded.

"Riley will you please take your brother to school; I have to go check on Harper before I leave."

"Sure, bye mom." Riley yelled as Topanga exited the kitchen. Riley, Maya, and Auggie left the apartment.

Topanga went to check on Harper again. She was finally sleeping fortunately for Topanga. Topanga stared down at her little girl, her hair was super curly already and it was almost a dirty blond more than brown. Harper's skin looked like porcelain almost. Topanga leaned down and kissed her daughters forehead.

"I love you." she whispered before leaving the room.


Riley and Maya met Farkle and Lucas by the lockers. "Hey guys." Riley said.

"Hey." Lucas replied.

"Maya you look amazing today." Farkle said with loving eyes.

"Thanks." She replied. Maya was starting to get annoyed by Farkle always complementing her.

"You alright?" Farkle asked.

"Yeah I'm fine." Maya replied before walking off.

"What's wrong with her?" Lucas asked.

"I don't know?" Riley responded. The three made their way to first period.

Cory was writing something on the board. "Mr. Matthews are you back full time now?" Farkle asked.

Cory turned and faced his class. A huge smile plastered across his face. "Yes I'm returning full time now!"

Half of the class groaned and the other half cheered. "Too bad on you." Cory said.

"Can we see a picture of the baby?" Sarah asked.

Cory smiled. "Of course." He dug through his briefcase and pulled out his iPhone.

The class shot up from their seats and crowded around Cory. He swiped through his camera roll showing the whole class Harper.

"Good job Mr. Matthews, this one doesn't look like you." Maya said slapping his back. He jolted forward a bit after she did that.

"She's precious sir." Lucas said.

"Thank you Mr. Friar." Cory turned his head to Riley she was currently staring at Lucas.

"Don't you two dare get any ideas." Cory scolded. Riley and Lucas's faces became red as they headed back to their seats. After everyone ooed and awed over Harper they all headed back to their seats.

"What's her name?" Darby asked.

"Harper, Harper Claire Matthews."

"Aww how sweet."

"So what are we learning about today dad?" Riley asked.

"Right, today we're talking about Rosa Parks."

"The girl who wouldn't get up from her seat or something?" Maya questioned.

"Maya, this wasn't just some girl she made a huge difference in the world."

"Rosa parks stood up for what she believed in." Cory began.

"But you said she sat, didn't stand." Maya taunted. She enjoyed messing with Cory.

"How come we have to learn about this, the past is in the past this could never happen today."

Cory glared at Maya. "Ok then, let's make this interesting. Tomorrow bring in your most loved item, it can be anything you want as long as it's your most loved one."

"What does that have to do with anything?" Maya asked.

"Well, I'm going to take your most valuable item and I'm gonna keep it until I think you've taken your stand."

"Huh?" Riley questioned.

"Rosa Parks took a stand by not standing. She fought for her freedom and equal rights. My challenge for you is to take a stand for your item, make me really wanna give it back to you. Take a stand!"

The whole class erupted into murmurs and whispers. "Do we have to do this?" Maya asked hoping to get out of this assignment.

"No you, don't have to do it." The class cheered.

"I'll just give you an F for the assignment." The smiles on everyone's faces faded and a few groans filled the room.

"But Mr. Matthews!" Maya whined.

"But nothing, you're doing the assignment." Maya grunted and slumped into her seat. She didn't want to give Cory her most valuable item. She had no idea how'd she'd even get it back.


The rest of class they discussed what happened with Rosa Parks and her story. It seemed to inspire Riley because she was talking about the assignment all day long.

Riley and Maya entered the apartment with Cory trailing behind them. "Come on Maya this might be fun! We can work together on this." Riley suggested.

"Riles you know I don't want to do this, I mean what's even the point?"

"The point is so that you'll learn something Maya." Cory said coming into the apartment. She rolled her eyes and grabbed Riley's arm as the exited the room.

"So how was your day?" Cory asked wrapping his arms around Topanga. Cory was really happy his arms could fit around her stomach now.

"It was actually really great, things at the firm went smoothly and almost everyone wanted to see baby pictures." Cory kissed the back of her head and swayed from side to side with her still in his arms.

"So let's talk about the wedding." Cory said spinning her around and holding her hand as they made their way to the table. She sat in his lap and her arm was circled around his shoulders.

"Well what do you want to talk about?" Topanga asked.

"One, you still wanna get re-married right?"

Topanga laughed and kissed her husband gently.

"Of course hun, I wouldn't be wearing this gorgeous ring you bought me if I didn't."

"Ok good." Cory smiled.

"So, I was thinking the actually wedding could-" Topanga began.

"That's not what I wanted to talk about." Cory said. Topanga furrowed her brow in confusion and gazed at him.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I wanna talk about after the wedding." A smirk crossed his face.

"You mean the reception?"

Cory exhaled slowly. "I mean, what happens after every wedding, usually the best part in my opinion." Topanga was confused, then it struck her like lightening

"Cory!" She said as she shot up from his lap.

"What?"

"That's sick!" she screeched.

"How is that sick, every married couple does it!" Topanga folded her arms over chest.

"Cory, we can't go on another honeymoon!"

"Why not?"

"Because, we're parents we have responsibilities! We have a new baby to take care of!"

"Shawn will look after the house, I already asked."

"You what?! Cory you can't just ask him to do that!" Topanga flamed.

Cory walked over to Topanga and held his hands on her shoulders. "Topanga, do this for me, do this for us. When the wedding comes we're gonna need some time just you and me, alone." Topanga sighed.

"Cory, how about we just come back to the house and we'll make Auggie, Riley, and Harper go to your parents for the weekend."

"No, I bought a real diamond ring. You're gonna give me a real honeymoon." Topanga made a pouty face.

"Please." Cory pleaded. He made his puppy dog eyes and the pouty lip.

Topanga chuckled at her husband's antics. "Ok." She responded.

Cory's face lit up. "Really?"

"Yes, I will give you a honeymoon you'll never forget."

"Promise?!" Cory's smile began to widen.

"Yes, ok." Cory cheered and wrapped his arms around her spinning her around.

Topanga erupted into giggles. "Alright, I'll marry ya again!" he grabbed her face and placed a huge kiss on lips.

Topanga sat down at the kitchen table as she watched her husband squeal like a little girl. Topanga shook her head and smiled. The wedding was going to be in July and it was just the beginning of March. Maybe a honeymoon to some place exotic was what they needed.


"So Maya, should I take my phone or my laptop?" Riley held up her MacBook and her pink iPhone 5c.

"I don't know and I don't care." Maya responded.

"Well you don't have to be rude ya know. What are you bringing?"

"I don't know. I'm just gonna pick out something stupid to bring and pretend like it's the most valuable thing I own. It's a full proof plan."

Riley gazed at her. "Maya I dunno if that's a good idea, my dad's gonna know if it's important to you or not."

"Pfft, your dads not gonna know. I'll just get him distracted tomorrow or something so he doesn't notice what I bring in."

Riley bit her lip and thought about what Maya said.

"Ok well just be prepared for tomorrow when he won't take what you're offering."

Maya thought about Riley's comment. "I gotta go Riles." Maya said climbing out the window. Riley flopped back onto her bed and stared at the ceiling.

"When did life get so complicated?" Riley said allowed. Of course there was no answer but she hoped there would've been one.

Cory and Topanga were in Harper's nursery, arguing over who was to change her dipper before bed.

"Come on Topanga just do it, you know I get sick easily!" Cory whined.

"Well I carried her inside of my body for 9 months, you do it."

Cory sighed knowing he wasn't gonna win the argument.

"I'll see you in few." Topanga said.

"You better be naked when I get in there."

"Never gonna happen sweetie." Topanga yelled back. Cory changed Harper and almost vomited. He had a weak stomach and the slightest thing might make Cory spew.

Cory changed Harper back into her pink and white polka dot onesie. He gently placed her back into the crib. Cory leaned against the railing of the crib and gazed at his daughter.

Her eyes began to turn green like Topanga's. Harper reminded Cory of Topanga so much.

"I love you." Cory said before leaning down and kissing her forehead. Harper smiled before closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep.


The next day everyone was in class with their valuable item. Most people had phones, and tablets, and other electronic devices. Riley had her iPhone while Maya had a pillow in her hand.

"Maya my dad is never going to believe that's your most valuable item."

"He will I just have to sell it." Maya nudged Riley's arm and she frowned knowing exactly what her dad was going to do.

"Ok class, come up here and give me your items!" Cory said. Everyone formed a line and Riley and Maya were last in line. Things went pretty quickly and it was finally Riley's turn.

"Daddy, do I really have to give this to you?" Riley asked.

"No." he replied.

Riley's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "I'll just give you a zero on the assignment."

Riley's smile faded and she handed her dad the phone. "Honey, once you take your stand you can have it back."

"Ok, I want back my phone!"

"Sit down." Cory pointed to Riley's seat. Riley groaned and it was now Maya's turn. She was the last one in the line.

"So Maya what do you have for me?" Cory asked.

"Here you are sir." Maya smiled and handed him the pink fluffy pillow. Cory stared at it and then began to snicker.

"What?" Maya asked in confusion.

"Give me your real item Ms. Hart."

"That is my item it's the thing I sleep on at night!"

Cory stared at Maya. His eyes locked with hers. His gaze trailed down to her chest, where her golden locket was placed.

Cory smiled and handed Maya the pillow.

"Alright Ms. Hart, I see you did bring your most valuable item."

"I'm glad you realized it." Maya smirked.

"Give me the locket." Maya's eyes grew wide.


Hey guys! So I'm very excited for this new story and I think if you liked GM number 5 you'll love this!

Sorry I didn't update yesterday like I had planned but I had some family issues going on and I didn't feel like writing. Today was really scary because there was a tornado warning where I live and I had to hide in my closet for an hour. So that's why this chapter is out so late.

Anyway the chapters are going to be super long; like I said they're like episodes almost. I was really happy about writing this chapter because I think things played out pretty well.

Rucas will continue to grow, I promise their relationship is far from over. So will Markle but I think in a different direction. Josh will make some appearances, that's definitely going to make things interesting for the Markle relationship.

Corpanga is gonna be Corpanga. I thought it was hilarious how excited Cory got about the honeymoon. I put a BMW reference in here so while reviewing tell me if you caught it for a shoutout next chapter.

So anyways really excited about this story I think all of ya'll are gonna love it considering it has everything for everyone. Please review and tell me what you thought. Your reviews inspire me so yeah. I'll talk to you guys later :)
