"Maybe we should find out," Smackle bit her lip and looked over at her husband.
"I thought we decided that we wanted it to be a surprise?" Farkle asked, rolling over in bed and facing his wife.
"I thought so too," Smackle sighed as she buried her cheek further into the pillow. "I don't know if I can wait though."
"So you want to find out if it's a boy or a girl?" Farkle asked, resting a hand on her eight month baby bump.
"I keep going back and forth," Smackle admitted. "There are some moments when I am absolutely certain that I want to wait. That the surprise will be so wonderful. There are other moments though when I just really want to know."
"It might be kind of nice to know what we are having," Farkle agreed.
"Yeah?" Smackle asked, a smile on her face.
"This way our family and friends can stop pestering us about not knowing," Farkle laughed.
"They have been pretty annoyed," Smackle laughed.
"How are you feeling?" Farkle asked.
"I just feel so tired all the time," Smackle sighed. "I kind of feel like if I had the chance, I would always sleep."
"It's almost time for the baby to make their arrival," Farkle scooted closer and dropped a kiss on her forehead. "We'll get through these next few weeks together."
"Promise?" Smackle asked.
"Always," Farkle nodded.
"I love you Farkle," Smackle whispered and rested her head on his chest.
"I love you Isadora," Farkle pulled her as close as the bump would allow him to.
He heard her breathing even out and saw the rise and fall of her chest. She had fallen asleep and looked at peace. He knew how exhausting this pregnancy had been for her. She would sleep for hours at a time. She would come home after a long day and just want to put her feet up due to the extreme swelling of her ankles. Morning sickness seemed to come and go but lately she had been getting sick a lot. The doctor assured them all the time that everything was okay with the baby but it did not stop the worry. The two of them would quietly worry and hope for the best. They were both so excited though. They knew that this baby was a blessing and they would love them with all that they had. Farkle kissed Smackle's forehead and held her close while she slept.

"Hellooooo?" Riley knocked on the apartment door, and then walked inside. She had Charlotte in her arms and the nine month old was smiling wide.
"Riley! Hey!" Smackle exclaimed. "When did you get into the city?"
"Our flight landed like an hour ago," Riley said.
"Where's Lucas?" Smackle asked, slowly walking over to hug her friend. Riley gently hugged her very pregnant friend and then smiled.
"He's at the apartment, sound asleep. He worked a lot of overtime so he could get the vacation time," Riley explained. Her husband had been putting in a lot of hours lately. Between the long hours and a nine month old baby, the exhaustion was starting to catch up to him.
"How long are you guys staying for?" Smackle asked.
"Two weeks," Riley said as she moved to sit with Smackle on the couch. "Then once the baby is born, we will come back for a long weekend to meet them."
"Riley, you're here!" Farkle exclaimed, walking into the living room and rushing over to hug his friend.
"Hey Farkle!" Riley hugged him back.
"Charlotte," Farkle smiled at his goddaughter and instantly took her in his arms. "How's it going little Friar?" Charlotte started to babble and laugh.
"That means she missed you," Riley laughed at her daughter and smiled at her two friends.
"She's getting so big," Smackle said as she grabbed onto her little hand.
"She really is," Riley agreed. "She's started to crawl around now. Not too much but it's adorable."
"I can't believe she's nine months old already," Farkle looked down at the little girl and smiled. She was really starting to look more and more like Riley. Her hair was now showing the same light brown color as her mom. The only difference from Riley were the beautiful emerald green eyes that matched Lucas's.
"Does she have Lucas wrapped around her finger already?" Smackle asked, because she knew that there was no way she did not.
"Oh absolutely," Riley nodded. "He absolutely adores her. They are quite the sight to see," She laughed because she knew that Charlotte was the definition of a daddy's girl already. "How about you? How are you feeling?"
"Pregnant," Smackle laughed.
"You were saying that you're tired a lot?" Riley asked. She remembered the last few months of her pregnancy with Charlotte and how tired she always was.
"Yeah," Smackle nodded. "Like all the time."
"Has the morning sickness gone away?" Riley asked. She could see the exhaustion on her friend's face and knew that the two were ready for the baby to be born.
"It comes and goes," Smackle shrugged. "Some days I don't get sick at all, but other days I can't stop getting sick."
"It will all be worth it in the end," Riley promised. She smiled at Charlotte and knew that all the struggles she went through in her pregnancy were worth it every time she looked at that little girl.
"I hope so," Smackle smiled as she looked down at her bump and ran a hand over it.
"I know so," Riley insisted. She had no doubt in her mind that Farkle and Smackle were going to make great parents. Their baby was lucky to be born into their family. "How would you like to babysit Charlotte?"
"What?" Farkle asked, eyes wide.
"Maybe one night before Lucas and I leave, the two of you can watch her. Give you a little practice," Riley suggested.
"Do you think that's a good idea?" Smackle asked. "Do you think we can do it?"
"Of course I do," Riley nodded. "She is a calm baby. Plus, you've been around her since she was born. This will be great practice for the two of you. I wouldn't have suggested it if I didn't think you could do it."
"I think that sounds like a good idea," Smackle nodded. "It will be great practice. What do you think, honey?"
"I'm in," Farkle agreed.
"Now you can have a date night with your hunky husband," Smackle winked and Riley blushed.
"Smackle!" Farkle exclaimed.
"Sorry," Smackle winced. "Old habits."
"You're lucky I love you," Farkle teased.
"I really am," Smackle nodded in all seriousness. Every day she was thankful that he loved her. He was the best thing that ever happened to her. As she felt the baby shift, she placed a hand on her stomach. Now she had another piece of Farkle to love with all of her heart.

"I can't get over how big she has gotten," Maya shook her head in amazement as she looked at Charlotte who was in Lucas's arms. The group were all at Topanga's later that day, reconnecting and laughing.
"We were just saying that earlier today too," Farkle nodded.
"She definitely looks more like Riley," Josh insisted.
"And we are all grateful for that," Zay teased. He and Vanessa were lucky to be able to get the vacation time and fly out to New York with the Friar's.
"Thanks guys," Lucas rolled his eyes but laughed because he knew it was all in good humor.
"How's married life?" Vanessa asked Maya and Josh.
"Wonderful," Maya smiled at her husband and rested her head on his shoulder.
"It's not much different than before. We were already living together," Josh added. "But it's nice to be able to call her my wife."
"It's definitely nice to be able to call myself Mrs. Matthews," Maya smiled bright. Everyone could see just how happy the newlyweds really were. "These last seven months have flown by."
"And what about you two?" Farkle asked Zay and Vanessa. "Isn't almost a year for the two of you?"
"Next month," Vanessa smiled wide.
"I think this is Zay's longest relationship yet," Lucas smirked.
"Thanks man," Zay rolled his eyes.
"I think it's adorable," Riley gushed. Vanessa smiled at her boyfriend and grabbed onto his hand. They both felt pretty lucky to have found each other. Fate had a funny way of working out and it worked out in their favor this time around.
"I can't wait to meet baby Minkus," Maya smiled.
"Are you two still waiting to be surprised?" Josh asked.
"We keep going back and forth," Smackle admitted.
"Yeah," Farkle nodded. "There are some days that we think we want to be surprised and then other days we just really want to know."
"How did you two decide?" Smackle asked Riley and Lucas. "How did you decide that you wanted to know?"
"There was no way that I could wait," Riley laughed. "I would not have lasted nine months to find out. I barely made it the four months to find out."
"I was going along with whatever she wanted," Lucas smirked.
"Oh please," Zay rolled his eyes. "You wanted to know as bad as she did."
"Maybe a little," Lucas shrugged. He knew that he really wanted to know. The minute that they got the word they could find out, they both eagerly jumped on the opportunity.
"I keep thinking that a surprise would be great but I really want to know," Smackle said as she ran a hand down her bump. Farkle smiled at his wife because he loved seeing her pregnant. She had this glow to her that filled his heart with love.
"Well whether it is a boy or a girl, I think they are going to be beautiful," Riley insisted.
"Another baby to love," Maya smiled at her two friends. Charlotte was the first baby of the group and soon she would have a friend. Soon there would be another little one to love.
. .
"Hey you two," Farkle smiled as he and Smackle walked into Riley's old bedroom. Riley and Lucas looked up from their spot at the bay window and smiled at their two friends.
"Hey," Riley greeted.
"What are you two doing here?" Lucas asked.
"Just wanted to stop by," Smackle shrugged. "Where's Charlotte?"
"My mom and dad wanted to spend the day with her," Riley said.
"Oh fun," Farkle smiled. The expectant parents took a seat across from Riley and Lucas at the bay window.
"We actually wanted to talk to the both of you," Smackle said. Farkle grabbed her hand and then smiled at the Friar's.
"Is everything okay?" Lucas asked.
"More than okay," Farkle promised.
"Well what's going on?" Riley asked.
"You two mean so much to us. You have been there for us through everything and never stopped believing there was more out there for us," Smackle explained.
"Whenever we needed encouragement or support, we knew that the two of you would always be there for us. You are the best friends that we could ever ask for," Farkle added.
"So we wanted to know, would you be baby Minkus's godparents?" Smackle asked.
"Really?" Riley asked, eyes wide. She placed a hand over her heart and smiled at her husband, who smiled in return.
"It would mean the world to us. We know that you are going to love them so much and that they are going to absolutely adore you," Farkle said.
"We would be honored," Lucas nodded. Riley nodded in agreement and grabbed her husband's hand in excitement.
"Really?" Smackle asked, a smile on her face.
"Of course!" Riley nodded and leaned forward to hug her friend. "We love you guys and are going to love your baby so much."
"You were the first two to find out about them too," Farkle said.
"We are so excited to meet the baby," Lucas said.
"They are going to be best friends with Charlotte!" Riley exclaimed.
"I love that they have someone to grow up with," Smackle smiled. "Especially someone who is raised by two of our best friends."
"It's almost time," Farkle smiled at his wife and placed a hand on her bump. He and Smackle got lost in each other's eyes and felt their hearts start to race. They were still so in love and it was only getting stronger. Riley and Lucas shared a look and smile. It was such a warm feeling to see their friends so happy. They were excited to see how they handled parenthood.

"Everything looks good," Doctor Lewis smiled at the young couple. "The baby looks healthy."
"So everything looks okay?" Farkle asked, looking at the ultrasound and seeing their baby.
"Everything looks perfect," Doctor Lewis promised. "How are you feeling, Smackle?"
"Tired all the time," Smackle laughed. "My ankles swell up when I walk too much."
"How about the morning sickness you were telling me about?" Doctor Lewis asked.
"It comes and goes," Smackle shrugged. "Some days I get sick but other days I feel perfectly fine."
"And are you two still certain that you don't want to know the gender?" Doctor Lewis asked, a teasing smile on her face.
"We keep going back and forth about it," Smackle admitted.
"Well if you want to know, it is very easy for me to find out for you," Doctor Lewis said.
"I think I want to know," Smackle bit her lip and looked at her husband.
"You do?" Farkle asked.
"I'm sorry," Smackle sighed. "I know we said we would wait but I don't think I can."
"Well this is a relief," Farkle let out a breath.
"What is?" Smackle asked.
"I have been dying to know but was holding off because I thought you wanted to be surprised," Farkle admitted.
"So you really want to know?" Smackle asked, relieved that he was on board.
"I really want to know," Farkle nodded.
"So, we are finding out if it's a boy or girl?" Doctor Lewis asked.
"We want to know," Smackle nodded.
"Okay, just give me a second," Doctor Lewis started to move the wand around Smackle's stomach and then looked at the screen.
"Hey," Smackle squeezed Farkle's hand and he looked down to connect eyes with her. "I love you so much."
"I love you too beautiful," Farkle leaned down and kissed his pregnant wife.
"Okay," Doctor Lewis smiled at the couple. "I have a clear shot."
"You do?" Smackle asked, eyes wide and smile on her face.
"We're ready," Farkle nodded. The married couple squeezed each other's hands and shared on last look. This was it. They were about to find out if they were having a boy or a girl.
"It's a…"
