Lucas and Riley Friar

Lucas Friar approached his wife from the room behind them. He stepped out into the fresh air and heavenly smell of nature as he wrapped his hands around his wife's petite waist. Riley Matthews-Friar smiled as his chin rested on the crook of her neck. They stared out into the horde of trees and bright green grass for a few minutes before Lucas turned Riley over so their eyes can meet. She wrapped her hands around his neck and smiled at him.

"You look beautiful," Lucas said to his wife. He examined her floral white dress and wavy hair. "I'm extremely lucky to have you."

"I know you are," she said in return. They both smiled before Riley brought up their next topic, "I exchanged a few calls with my manager and my team."

Lucas furrowed his brows, "When did this happened?"

"Yesterday in the morning," Riley informed. "I told them I'm ready to go back...into acting and other things I plan on doing."

He took a step back from his wife and raised another brow, "You never told me about this."

"You weren't here. You were at Lion's Den for the seven hours and I was already asleep when you returned." Riley reminded him. She looked into his eyes and she could tell something had changed between them. "Was I supposed to tell you?"

"I just thought this would be something we would discuss together. I didn't think you'd want to be go back into the spotlight with what's happened between..." He trailed off when he remembered Riley didn't like talking about it. She wanted to forget about the past and move on with the future. He thought that Riley's last project would be her movie and then she would forget about acting and choose to start a family with Lucas. That's what he's been wanting to do, start a family with her.

"Lucas, I thought you were in favor of this." Riley asked wanting Lucas' support.

After waiting for a few seconds, Lucas finally nodded his head. "As long as we're together, Riley." Lucas told his wife affirming his support to her.

She took his hand and laced her fingers in his, "Forever." Riley told him being thankful for a loving and supportive husband.

The married couple walked hand in hand towards the nicely decorated patio. There, their family stood under a wooden trellis embellished in the white lights that Riley had always admired. Once the stone pathway came to an end, Riley and Lucas stood in front of their family; which consisted of Farkle, Smackle, Zay, Vanessa, Topanga and Cory.

Farkle and Smackle were free from work as the stock at Minkus International was growing and so was their beloved child. Their son Leo Isaac Minkus demanded their full attention and Smackle had denied paying someone to take care of their child. So she became a stay at home mom who can surprisingly handle the stress. In Smackle's words, she wanted to be with her child when he needed her and no other mother was to take care of Leo but her. Farkle liked the idea of Smackle wanting to take care of their child, he liked the idea of coming home to Smackle holding their son and seeing his face brighten. There was no better feeling for Farkle.

Once Vanessa left Abigail Adams High to go on Maternity Leave, Zay had become a comedian. He enjoyed seeing other people smile. He would not only do stand up comedy, but he would do videos for special events since he was a cameraman. Their daughter Mia rested in a stroller in between Vanessa and him, she was sound asleep and looked cuter than ever.

After exchanging their hellos and sitting down on the table, Riley was overwhelmed with the amount of food on their table. A Potato salad rested not far from her, there was also lobster ravioli with pesto sauce, roasted chicken, fruit salad, marble cake, cinnamon rolls and steaks for the guys. Riley could already see Farkle eyeing the well done steak in front of him.

Time went by as Lucas talked to Cory about the time he spent at Lion's Den and how he had been teaching Riley self defense, Farkle and Zay talked about making plans to Cancun, Riley spoke to Vanessa about getting her hair done and Topanga was trying to figure out who to talk to. She wanted to tell someone about her case and how she was prepared to take the other attorney and their client down. She was evil in her ways, but a kind woman at heart.

"Is Maya not coming, Riley?" Smackle asked as she noticed all the seats were taken and Maya and Josh were no where to be seen.

"I talked to her manager and she told me Maya has been making daily trips to the studio. She told me she's working on her album." Riley answered smackle as she began to put more of the ravioli on her plate.

"Well if it isn't good news," Zay said.

The continued to talk some more before Mia, Zay's daughter, began to cry, Zay turned to her and sighed. He looked at Vanessa and asked, "It's my turn, isn't it?"

"Yeah. She's your daughter. She seeks as much attention as you did when you're trying to get mine," Vanessa told him. When the two were younger, Zay would do countless of things to get Vanessa's attention. He even showed up to school wearing a 'Vanessa + Zay' shirt when they were in the fifth grade back in Texas. Lucas couldn't help but laugh loudly remembering how lovestruck Zay was of Vanessa as Zay could only shake his head remembering how embarassed he felt after the many times Vanessa rejected him.

He got up from the chair and turned to his family, "I'll see you guys in a bit and if Mia decides to throw up on me, I'm gonna borrow someone's jacket. I hope it's your's Farkle."

"So Riley, anything new? Movies?" Topanga asked wanting to change the subject.

"Nothing much yet," she told them. As their family resumed with their activities, Riley had decided to tell them what has been on her mind for a while now. "I've actually been thinking about creating a TV show based on what happened in my life." She watched as everyone froze and looked at her as if she was serious.

Then she was bombarded with questions and their opinions on her idea.

"Honey, do you really think this is what you should do?" Topanga asked.

"Have you spoken to anyone about this?" Cory stared at his daughter.

"Who's gonna play me?" Zay asks from a distance.

"Will you be be playing Riley? Farkle asked.

"Smackle plays Smackle," she demanded.

"That's a brilliant idea, Riles," Vanessa said.

The only one who didn't say anything was Lucas, he just stared at his wife and clenched his jaw. It was as if he didn't like the idea at all and he was mad at Riley for not telling him this.

"It's just an idea guys, jeez." Riley told everyone wanting them to calm down and not jump to conclusions especially her father.

"Only one of the best ideas you've ever had," Vanessa and Smackle said in unison.

"As for now it's just an idea. If I decide to do it, I have to meet with people and it's just this long complicated process." Riley told everyone.

The topic soon subsided once Riley's phone began to ring. She excused herself from the table and walked towards a bench next to a fountain. "Hello?"

"Riley Matthews?" A mysterious voice asked.

"Yes. Who am I speaking with?" Riley asked sounding curious to know who she was speaking with as she sat down.

"It's me, your new publicist. My name is Angelina Kernerman." Angelina said introducing herself.

"Hi, hey. What's the call for?" Riley asked as she smiled at her husband. He looked like he needed the reassurance, she really didn't know what to say to him. It was as if he was sad or mad at something. She couldn't tell if she was to blame for this or something was ticking him off.

"Clear your plans for Wednesday. You're going to do a photoshoot for Vanity Fair." Angelina told Riley catching the young a-list actress off guard as she made her way inside the kitchen.

"I am?" Riley asked wanting confirmation

"Yes. You are. You said you've been wanting to step into the spotlight once again and this is what I can get you to do in a matter of 2 days. We're taking baby steps, remember? So, what do you say? Are you in, or are you out?" Angelina told Riley wanting her client to get back on the map

"I'm in," Riley told Angelina. She nearly jumped out of her clothes from excitement. "Is there anything else?" Riley asked as the news was beginning to set in her head

"There's one thing. Since the magazine is a Valentines theme, the photographer suggested Lucas be in it too. Could he do it?" Angelina asked remembering what Vanity Fair wanted to do by having both Riley and Lucas in the shoot

"He'll do it. When should we meet?" Riley answered on Lucas' behalf

"Tomorrow would be great. We'll meet at your house?" Angelina asked.

"I'll see you here." Riley answered confirming the appointment.

"Good. I'll go further into detail then." Angelina confirmed beginning to go into detail. She would tell Riley of the details of the photoshoot that would take place in New York. A lighting crew, cameraman, craft sesrvices team and even a glam team has been hired. Not to mention the services of Riley's stylist Cecilia Jacobs who has done great work for Riley since the two began working together a couple of years ago.

"You've been in a really good mood these past couple of hours," he informed her. "Did something happen?" Lucas asked seeing a more upbeat attitude in Riley.

"Yes. Only the best news that I can possibly receive right now." Riley exclaimed smiling cheerfully with great news.

The Texan finished with the dishes and turned to Riley who was now sitting on the kitchen island. "What news is that?" Lucas asked turning to his wife as he leaned against the kitchen sink.

"What if I told you my new publicist got us a feature in a magazine?" Riley asked preparing Lucas.

Lucas stared at his wife in confusion.

"Since Valentine's Day is coming up in a few weeks, Angelina wanted us to do a photoshoot for Vanity Fair. I told her yes and she should be here tomorrow." Riley broke the news to him as he still looked confused

"A photoshoot?" Lucas furrowed his eyebrows as the news was settling in.

"Yeah. It'll be our first one as husband and wife. It's actually the only magazine we will do as husband and wife, c'mon, it'll be fun." Riley pleaded trying to bait her husband doing the shoot.

He debated at first, but once Riley placed her lips on his, he couldn't say no. "When is the shoot?" Lucas asked knowing he could say no to Riley's kisses.

She kissed him again, "Wednesday. Angelina said she'd be here tomorrow and that's when we're going to talk about everything." Riley told him.

"Okay. I'm going to bed, are you coming with?" Lucas asked as he began to walk up the stairs to the Master Bedroom of their luxerious home.

"Yeah. I'll be there in a second. I just need to call Maya. Goodnight babe." Riley answered him as Lucas nodded his head and walked up.

Riley went to her phone which was in her bag. She dialed Maya's number and waited for her to answer it.

"If it isn't the stranger I grew up with," she began. "Long time no call." Maya said answering the call.

"Maya! Hey, how you been?" Riley said happy to hear Maya's voice.

"Exhausted. Actually, I just got back from my record label. I'm going to start working on my album soon." Maya told Riley as it sounded like on her end of the phone she was writing.

"I know. I had to find out through your manager and not you." But an album? That's great news, Maya." Riley told Maya happy for her wishing Maya nothing but more success.

"I know. I've been thinking about writing a few songs lately and I have some of them already written down. I just need to show them to my producers, no pressure there. What about you Mrs. Matthews-Friar? Any exciting news?" Maya answered Riley before asking her a question asking her what's new in her life.

"Actually I do have exciting news." Riley sat down on the couch just in front of the fireplace. She brought her legs towards her and placed a blanket over them. "I'm thinking about acting again." Riley answered Maya.

This took Maya by surprise, "For real? Like no more staying at home doing nothing? You're planning on making movies again?" Maya asked Riley since Riley felt like her break was over.

"Not just movies. I want to produce sometime in my career. I've been doing nothing lately and it's gotten to a point where it's just boring. Underdog will be released next year around the summer time and I can't just be doing nothing. Which leads us to Vanity Fair." Riley told her the news of Underdog before prepping Maya for the shoot she was gonna do.

"The magazine," Maya questioned.

"Yes. Lucas and I are featured in it. My publicist and I are going to talk about it tomorrow and on Wednesday we do the shoot." Riley told Maya.

"What's the purpose of the magazine? And why is Hop-a-long in it?" Maya questioned as she knew that Lucas wasn't always the most excited to see a camera.

"It's a Valentine's theme. As for the purpose of the magazine, I have some ideas and there are some things i'd like to say. Where is Josh by the way?" Riley told her best friend as ideas began to swirl in her mind and certain thoughts before asking about the wherabouts of her uncle.

"He's with the kids. And be cautious of those shoots, Riley. Sometimes they make you do uncomfortable things." Maya warned Riley.

"I know, Maya." Riley answered feeling as if nothing would go wrong.

"Well, it was nice talking to you even though we haven't talked in weeks. We are busy people." Maya told Riley missing her best friend.

"Bye, Maya. I love you." Riley professed to her best friend.

"I love you too, Riley." Maya professed in return before hanging up the phone.
