Just then, the door opened and Riley walked in with Auggie and Maya following her.

"Hey, gu- what is going on here?" Riley interrupted herself.

"Hey," Topanga said, looking up at them.

"Wow, you guys…uh…look comfortable, there," Maya said with a smirk. She went over to the refrigerator, looking for a snack. Riley followed her.

"Yeah, yeah," Cory said, waving away the comment.

"How was school?" Topanga asked.

"It was fine," Riley said.

"Ava got mad at me today because I didn't sit next to her in circle time," Auggie said with a sigh.

Topanga chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, honey. I'm sure she'll come around."

Auggie put his backpack on a kitchen chair and walked over to his parents.

"Are you feeling better, Mommy?" he asked.

"Yeah, thank you, honey. That's why we're sitting like this- because I feel better when I sit like this."

"Ohhh," Auggie said. "Hope you didn't screw up too bad today, Dad," he whispered to Cory.

Cory gave him a look and shook his head. Auggie was referring to a couple months ago when Cory dug quite a hole for himself. Topanga was having morning sickness, and Cory was in the kitchen, making the kids breakfast. Topanga was yelling for him from the bathroom, wanting him to come soothe her and hold her hair. He didn't hear her yelling because he had the blender on for Topanga's smoothie. Topanga was pretty furious that he didn't come, and she ended up getting puke all over her hair and on the bathroom floor. When she finally came out to find Cory, she was covered in the stuff, and Cory, not expecting the mess, shrieked when he saw her. This only made Topanga madder, and she didn't talk to him for the rest of the day. Cory then decided that there would be no more smoothies in the morning, and that he would keep tabs on her at all times.

"Hey, Mom, what's for dinner?" Riley asked, pouring cereal in bowls for her, Auggie, and Maya.

Cory spoke before Topanga could and said, "I think I'll make dinner tonight. Topanga, what do you want to have for dinner?"

She looked up at him and said, "I don't know. Ooh, you know what sounds good? Some chicken parmesan and ziti," she said.

"But we just had spaghetti last night," Riley complained, sitting at the table to eat her cereal. Auggie and Maya joined her, pouring milk into their bowls.

"Hey," Cory said to Riley. "Your mother gets to decide what we eat."

"Why does she get to decide every day?" Riley asked.

"Because she's carrying an extra at least 15 pounds and she's eating for two, so her vote counts for double what yours does. Plus she's the parent, so that makes it triple. Her vote outweighs everyone else."

Topanga looked up at him and grinned. He grinned back at her and leaned down to peck her lips.

"You know what, Riles?" Maya said. "That chicken parmesan actually sounds pretty good. Do you guys mind if I stay and eat with you?"

"Sure, Maya," Cory said.

"Can I invite my mom and Shawn over, too?"

"Anytime," Cory said. Maya pulled her phone out and began texting. Topanga looked up at him and gave him a look.

"What?" he asked.

"I said I didn't want anyone seeing me like this, so you invite people over for dinner?"

"Oh, it's just Shawn and Katy. They'll see you when the baby's born too, remember?"

Topanga scowled and then sat up slowly.

"I thought you wanted to lie down," Cory said, pushing her back up to help her.

"I did," Topanga said, moving to sit normally on the couch. "But now I have to go get dressed so I can at least look presentable."

"Honey, you don't have to get ready. It's just a couple friends."
Topanga shot him another look and then began to stand. Cory quickly stood up to help her. She took his arm and stood up. Then she waddled into the hallway to go to her room.

Everyone watched her disappear and then waited to hear her bedroom door close.

"Wow, she's really pregnant," Maya said, chuckling.

"No kidding," Cory said, wiping his brow.

He moved to the kitchen and sat down in a chair, exhausted from his day of waiting on Topanga.

"Don't tell her I said this," he whispered, "but she practically needs a servant with her every day. I don't know if I'm going to be able to go back to work if she feels like this every day."

"Hmm," Riley said. She put her finger on her chin as if she were thinking hard about something. "I'm not a genius here, but don't we need an income?"

Cory glared at his daughter. "Yes, we do. Which is why I can't do that. And I can't ask you to skip school."

"Maybe Shawn can do it," Maya said. "He just got back in town, and I'm sure he'd do it. I mean, you guys are all friends, right?"

"Yeah, that's true," Cory said. "But I don't know if I should ask him to do it. I mean, he's my best friend and everything, but this is a ha-hey, hey, honey!" he said as he noticed Topanga appearing in the hallway. She had changed into a pair of jean shorts now, and put a maternity shirt over her tank top. She pulled her hair down and had run a brush through it as well. She still didn't have any makeup on, but Cory didn't think she needed any anyways.

Topanga waddled slowly into the kitchen. "Maybe I should try walking around for a little bit and see if I can work off these extra billion pounds it feels like I gained today. I feel a little better since I got up and walked around."

"Good idea," Cory said, relieved that he wouldn't have to be squished on the couch again. "Why don't we walk around the block?" he suggested.

Topanga nodded. "If you help me put my sweatpants and shoes on," she said.

Cory went into the hallway and shortly came back with sweatpants. "Here," he said, giving them to her. "Just put them on over your shorts."

She did that while Cory went to get her shoes. He helped her sit on the couch and then put her shoes on her feet. Then he slipped his own shoes on. He grabbed their coats from the coat rack and helped Topanga into hers.

"We'll be back in a few minutes," Cory said. "Don't burn the place down."

With that, he opened the door for Topanga, and they left the apartment.

Second chapter down! I hope you enjoyed it! Lots more Corpanga to come! Stay tuned! :)
