"I just had an interesting conversation with your mom right now." Riley says laying down with me. I put my arm around her and say "oh yeah about what?" She looks up at me and smiles. I cover my face with my hands and say "she didn't? I'm so embarrassed." Riley starts giggling and says "oh bear I think it's cute you know what our kids names are going to be." I move my hands away and see her staring at me. She cups my cheek and kisses me. "You know I did promise Maya I would name our little girl after her." I chuckle and say "how about Penelope Grace? Grace for my mom"

She intertwines our hands and says Penelope Grace Friar I love it! Oh and you too I guess." I start tickling her and say "say it bean!" She looks at me with those brown eyes of hers and says "okay okay I love you." I kiss her and say "I love you too." And start tickling her again.

Her giggle is the last thing I hear before sitting up sweaty and panting. "It was just a dream." I try to reassure myself. I knew coming back to New York would unlock all those memories I locked away. I look at the time and see it's 5. "Might as well go for a run." I thought. After my run I get dressed and go visit the one person I knew would still willingly see me.

I walk in behind his assistant and see him on the phone. "Of course. You know I wouldn't say anything unless she asks. Okay I got to go love you too." "To what do I owe this visit? Last time I checked I didn't do business out of Texas." He says swaying in his chair. I gesture to the chair and say "may I sit?" He motions for me to sit. I don't say anything just looks around.

I get up and look at the pictures he has of us and ones of Penny too. I hear him murmur something under his breath. "Cute kid looks just like Riley." I say putting the picture down. "So your her father?" He looks to see if I was serious and start laughing when I am. "Boy you sure are something else Friar."

"So what you aren't her father?" I asks crossing my arms. He shakes his head and says "I'm pretty sure my lovely wife would kill me if I had a kid with her best friend." I stare at him with wide eyes and say "you. And short stack?" He nods once again.

I sit down and place my hands over my face. "Wow I mean I always thought you and smackle would get married and take over the world." He sways in his chair and smackle comes in and says "that's correct we do indeed plan to dominate the world population. Hello Lucas."

"Smackle it's been awhile." I tell her giving her an awkward hug. "Indeed it has. So what brings you back reuniting with your other half?" I rub my neck and was about to speak but Farkle beats me to it. "No Isadora, Lucas here is engaged." I look at him shocked and asks "how did you find out?"

He doesn't say anything and I sigh "who told her?" He shrugs. I was going to say something when Zay barges in and punches me. "Zay what the hell!" I yell holding my jaw. "I should do more for you getting Riley pre..." "Zay!" Farkle shouts standing up. His eyes widen and he stands by smackle.

"Leaving Riley what?" Lucas says looking at Zay. Zay looks at Farkle and he shakes his head. "Farkle?" I asks turning to him Farkle sighs and says "for getting Riley's pressure up you know she has anxiety." He looks at Zay and smackle like they were having a conversation with no words.

"What's going on? What don't I know?" I shout startling them. "That what happens with Riley's life is none of your concern anymore Friar." I turn around and see Maya in front of me with her arms crossed. "Come on Maya I still care about her." They all scoff at that.

"Lucas do us and Riley all a favor and just stay away. We went the last four years without you and managed just fine." She says gesturing to the door. I start walking out and turn to see Farkle telling Maya something and her hitting Zay.

"Gram gram!" Penny shouts running through the door to my mom. "My little princess I've missed you!" She laughs hugging her. I smile at them and place the muffins I brought on her desk. "Hey honey." She says hugging me. "Mom." I say looking at her. She sighs and motions me over from Penny.

"Sweetheart I'm sorry I didn't have a say in who the last vp brought in. Apparently Mr. Friar has connections with him and got him the internship." I rub my head and sigh "it's fine mom I just don't want him getting close to Penny." I say smiling at her. "Riley don't you think he should know?"

With my eyes on Penny I say "no. He doesn't she's my daughter not his." Before she can say anymore her assistant Pam walks in. "Sorry to interrupt Mrs. Matthews but you have a conference call in five minutes." She looks at the time and says "I'm sorry Riley I won't be long."

"Penny can come with me. We have some case files that just scream for her stamp of approval." Pam says smiling at me. I chuckle and say "okay but can you keep an eye on her she tends to wander." She nods and says "come on Penny conference room A is all set up for you to take your meetings." Penny giggles and says "okay don't want to keep my clients waiting. Bye mommy."

I laugh and give her a hug and tell her to listen to Pam and I would be back. I go and visit Josh. "Hey are you busy?" I ask knocking on his door. "Well if it isn't my 2nd favorite niece!" He says holding out his arms. I laugh and hug him. "I'm only letting that slide for Penny."

"So what brings you to my door?" He asks putting files away. I slump in the chair and say "guess who is back and interning here?" He stops what he is doing and stares at me with wide eyes. "No! I thought that was a rumor?" I shake my head and say "nope apparently his dad had connections with the former vp."

Josh sits in his chair and chuckles "I'm surprised to see you here? I thought you would go into hiding." I glare at him and say "why would I hide? I'm not the one that turned into a jackass and left back to Texas." He looks at me and fold his arms. "What?" I say looking at him. "Nothing it's just you seem like his coming back is going to cause problems for you."

I shake my head and say "well that's because it will be."

"Well this is the mail room you probably gonna see it a lot so memorize it." Randy says chuckling. "These are the conference rooms and where the tour ends." I look around and say "so where do interns go?" He looks at me and says "well for now I think you should talk to our top lawyer. There is nobody better but fair warning she can be tough just as she is sweet."

I rub my neck and get a little nervous. "Should I have brought something to write stuff down with or..?" I ask nervously. He pats my shoulder and says "no just don't look her directly in the eye until she ask." He gestures to the door and I knock hearing someone say come in. I open the door and stand there with my mouth open I turn around and randy is laughing.

"Ms. Matthews your 10oclock is here." He says pushing me in the door. Penny looks up and smiles. "Damn she looks just like Riley." I thought to myself. I walk up to her and she says "Hi. I'm Penny." She holds out her hand for me to shake. I chuckle and shake it. "Well nice to meet your Penny. I'm Lucas."

She bounces a little and says "I love it!" I stare at her and those memories of meeting Riley come back.

"Hi we were just talking about you." She says shyly after falling into my lap. I look at her and smile and say "I'm Lucas." "I love it." She tells me.

"Lucas?" Penny says waving her hand in the air. I shake my head and sit down. "So you like my name?" I ask smiling at her. She giggles and says "yes. I have a bunny named Lucas well I call him Luke. My mommy wanted to be a bunny farmer so she named him." I smile at her and see her messing with her necklace.

"That's a pretty necklace." She holds it and says "thank you mommy gave it to me she said daddy gave it to her and now it's mine." I was trying to get a closer look when someone comes in the room. "Mommy!" She shouts running up to Riley. I get up and see Riley looking at me. "Hey sweetie did you finish up with your clients?"

Penny smiles and says "yes just have to stamp Luke paper." Before she walks over to me Riley tucks her necklace in her shirt. "Here you go Human Luke." She gestures for me to bend down. "I gave you the one with horses those are my favorite." She whispers handing me the paper. I smile at her and whisper back "those are mine too."

"Let's go shiny Penny." Riley tells her gathering her stuff together. I stand up and walk with them to the door trying to speak to Riley. "Ril.." I start to say but she cuts me off. "Have a good day Mr. Friar." She says looking at me and walks out.
