(Hello everyone ^^ A new multi-chapter fic. I hope you like it. Make sure to tell me if you do :D)
It was Riley, and Farkle's summer before their first year of college. At this point they have been dating a little over two years, and had recently decided they wanted to live together while they go to college. Stuart's only condition was that they allowed him to buy them a place so he knew it was in a good neighborhood, and so that way they wouldn't have to struggle so hard to pay every thing. Cory Matthews was still not that happy about, but he knew he couldn't stop her either so he gave them his blessing. Topanga had been pretty great about it, and Jennifer was indifferent though both of them claiming they always knew they would end up together. Things were falling in to place in the best way possible, and it felt as If they both had this whole life thing figured out. Neither of them knew the twist that was coming, but it all started that first day in their new townhouse.
After they had moved most of the stuff in Farkle had to go help his father for a few hours. He had decided not to get a job there yet, but he had made a deal with his father to still come around to help. Him leaving left Riley in the house for the first time alone, and she was scared though it wasn't from the new house. There sat Riley on the toilet her eyes locked on the little stick on the counter that could change every thing. How could this have happened...well she knew how it happen, but they were always so careful. Not that they didn't want kids one day, but this was not the one day they had discussed. The timer went off making her jump the nerves clear on her face making her happy she was home alone. Taking in a deep breathe she picked up the dreaded stick, and started to cry as two little pink lines stared back at her.
Glancing down at the watch on her wrist Riley knew she had time to call over Maya before Farkle got home. She needed someone to talk to, and to get her thoughts straight before she even told Farkle. Calling in the ring power, and probably the desperation in her voice Maya left work telling them it was a family emergency. She was at Riley door in less then ten minutes. Riley left the front door unlocked knowing Maya would let herself in
"Riles I'm here" When Riley heard Maya's voice she felt some relief wash over her. "I'm in the kitchen Peaches." She finished putting the plates she had in her hand away then took a seat at the dining room table just as Maya walked in. "Come sit." Riley pulled a seat over to where it would be facing her exactly then patted it for Maya.
At those actions Maya now knew it had be a little serious what Riley had to tell her. She would of came no matter what since she could tell something was off just by the way she had sounded on the phone. "I rushed over here, and I might be getting a few tickets in the mail. That's not important though." She took the seat Riley had set up for her then Placed her hand in Riley's squeezing it tightly. "So what's up Riles? You look a little pale. Maybe we should go tanning soon." Even that didn't get a smile out of Riley making Maya even more curious.
Trying hard to keep it together Riley lifted her head up letting out a long breath before speaking "I'm pregnant."
"Oh wow...this is so unexpected. This isn't something I was planning for Right now, but I can take extra hours at the art museum. I am fully prepared to rear this child with you, and I guess Farkle can help if he wants." Maya scrunched up her nose playfully while hoping to at least make Riley laugh so she would be at ease a little more. Since she could feel how tense she was just by watching her.
A small laugh, and a few tears started fall at what Riley knew was Maya's attempt to cheer her up "Peaches! This is serious, but thank you I needed that." Curiously she watched her get up, and then wave at Riley to follow. She did as Maya asked then when Maya flopped on the couch she patted the seat next to her opening her arms wide.
"Oh honey come here. Let's start small. How long have you known?" Riley collapsed in to her arms her head against her shoulder.
"I haven't been feeling well the last couple days, and I was so busy getting everything to move that I didn't even realize I had missed a period. If my calculations are right I am due in January so I'm about 4, or 5 weeks. I didn't go to a doctor yet, but I took a test finally. When I glanced at it there was the stupid pink lines.." Riley grumbled a little letting her head fall in to Maya's lap.
"You have thought this for a few days now! And you are just telling me today." Maya reached down starting to play with Riley's hair. "Oh my dear girl you shouldn't of been going through all of that alone."
Riley started to cry a bit more snuggling into Maya's laps "I just didn't want you to worry about me, or be a part of a mess I was still figuring out."
"After all these years you should know I worry about you all the time it's my job. Secondly any mess you get in I will always be right beside you. Have you told Farkle yet?" Maya spoke softly to her trying to calm her.
"No..."Riley sniffled then sat up her sad brown eyes locked on Maya's. "He's going to get mad at me...I ruined all the plans and you know how Farkle is with plans. Now I won't get to go to college. I'm already going to be a drop out only a few weeks after graduating."
"Okay I'm going to stop you right there...you will go to college even if you, and I have to take opposite timed classes next semester so I can watch the baby when your in class. You have to tell Farkle honey he loves you, and you can't just decide how he will feel for him. Its not like you did this all on your own he is just as much to blame. If I'm being honest I didn't know he had it in him." Maya put her hand on Riley's belly. "Told you that you would have all 11 babies" Riley smiled a bit she placed her hand on Maya's. "How did you know I wanted to keep it?"
"Cause I know you better then you know yourself pumpkin" Maya gave her a huge hug then let go as she placed her eyes back on her. "Any other reasons you don't want to tell Farkle?"
"I don't want to ruin his future. I don't want to be the reason he hates his life in 10 years. I want to keep the baby , but Farkle shouldn't be forced too." Riley slid off the couch on to the floor putting her head in her hands.
"Guess what else he is excited about being with you. He never shuts up about you. You are the best thing that has ever happen to him. You made the robot feel, and understand love that makes you pretty special. You two gross me out allll the time...Also you still can't say his feelings for him so no matter what your excuse is you have to tell him." Maya got up grabbing her keys. "I have to go back to work now, but I am only one text away. Promise me you will tell him?"
"I'll try to, and Thank you" Riley couldn't believe how amazing of a best friend she had.
Maya stuck one foot out the door as she turned around facing her " Good and you better!" Maya blew her a kiss then finished leaving. Riley had no idea what to do next, and the one person she wanted to talk to she just couldn't right now.
