Chapter 3

"Good morning," Maya greeted with a smile. She ran her fingers through her hair and slowly made her way into the kitchen where her husband was sitting.

"Morning babe," Josh smiled and then took a sip of his coffee. Maya sat next to him and let out a long sigh. He turned to face his wife and raised an eyebrow. "Is everything okay?"

"I miss coffee," Maya grumbled. The first thing Maya gave up when she found out she was pregnant, besides alcohol, was coffee. She had basically lived off it her entire adult life and now she was really missing it.

"Do you want me to dump it out?" Josh asked, instantly feeling bad that he was drinking it in front of her. He knew that for the longest time she had gotten real bad headaches from the lack of caffeine and now she was finally adjusting without it.

"Don't be silly," Maya shook her head and laughed. She ran her hand down his arm and smiled kindly at her husband. "Just because I have to live without caffeine, doesn't mean you should live without caffeine."

"How do you feel otherwise?" Josh asked.

"I didn't get sick today," Maya said.

"Well that's definitely a plus," Josh nodded. Maya laughed and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Isn't it sad that me not getting sick is a highlight of our morning?" Maya asked, a smirk on her face.

"I think that means we are adults," Josh said as he wrapped an arm around her waist. "I guess that our days of traveling through Europe are behind us."

"When have we ever traveled through Europe?" Maya asked, looking up and laughing at her husband.

"Never," Josh smirked. "But now that we are having twins, those days are definitely behind us for a while."

"We have a lot to look forward to though," Maya smiled and then rested her head on his shoulder again.

"Double the fun," Josh teased.

"Double the fun," Maya repeated and then chuckled. Josh kissed the top of her head and held her close. They enjoyed the peaceful moment together. They enjoyed the comfortable silence. They knew that in just five and a half months, silence would be a distant memory to them.

. .

"Hey Peaches," Riley smiled when she saw her best friend walk into Topanga's later that day. All of their friends were gathered around the couches and their beverages were spread out in front of them.

"Hey Riles," Maya smiled and took a seat next to Riley on one of the couches. "Charlotte's here!"

"Of course she's here," Lucas laughed and smiled at his daughter in his lap.

"And Newt!" Maya widened her eyes in excitement when she spotted Newt in Smackle's arms.

"It's kind of frowned upon to leave four month old babies alone," Farkle teased.

"It's just rare that we are all together," Maya said.

"Uh, you do realize that your husband is not here right?" Zay asked, a smirk on his face.

"He had to work," Maya sighed.

"Don't look so sad," Riley laughed and nudged her side. "It's only a few hours."

"Ever since I got pregnant, I just miss him all the time. It's so annoying and weird but I just want to spend every second with him," Maya explained. "It's like a never ending honeymoon phase."

"It ends in the third trimester. I wouldn't worry," Riley said.

"Oh yeah?" Lucas asked, raising an eyebrow and nudging her side. "You stopped wanting to be around me?"

"Never," Riley insisted and then smiled at him. "I always want to be around you."

"Hey Charlotte," Zay took the Friar girl into his arms and then smiled at her. "Your mom and dad are gross and it is something that you are just going to have to live with. We all have been dealing with it since middle school. If you stick out your tongue at them and say gross, they eventually stop."

"Zay!" Riley exclaimed and everyone laughed.

"Don't brainwash her honey," Vanessa wrapped an arm around his shoulders and laughed at her fiancée.

"Has she started talking yet?" Smackle asked.

"We think she is going to say her first word any day now," Lucas said.

"It's going to be momma," Riley added.

"You wish," Lucas smirked. "It's totally going to be dada."

"I feel a heated debate," Maya laughed.

"No debate," Lucas shook his head. "She knows I'm right."

"We shall see Friar," Riley made a face at her husband that was supposed to come across as intimidating but Lucas just found it adorable.

"Yes we shall Friar," Lucas smirked.

"Do you think they will ever grow out of this dorky romance faze?" Zay wondered out loud.

"I hope not," Maya said. "It's kind of adorable."

"Yeah it is," Smackle agreed.

"How are you feeling, Maya?" Vanessa asked and the attention was directed to the blonde.

"Better," Maya nodded. "I am slowly working on wrapping my head around the idea of twins."

"I think it's adorable," Smackle said.

"You do?" Maya asked.

"More to love," Smackle smiled.

"You and Josh are going to be great at raising twins," Farkle insisted.

"You think so?" Maya asked, biting her lip.

"Definitely," Farkle nodded.

"Is someone drinking coffee?" Maya asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Uh maybe," Zay said with wide eyes.

"I can't escape it!" Maya exclaimed and sighed. "I miss caffeine."

"Only five and a half more months to go," Riley wrapped an arm around her best friend's shoulders and smiled. Maya groaned and rested her head on Riley's shoulder.

. .

"Hello?" Riley called out. She watched her uncle come walking into the living room and smile at his niece.

"Hey niece, what are you doing here?" Josh asked, walking over and hugging his niece and then taking Charlotte into his arms. "Did you stop by so I can have some Charlotte time?"

"And to see how you are," Riley nodded and smiled.

"I'm okay," Josh said and the two walked over to sit on the couch together.

"Are you?" Riley asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Okay and slightly nervous," Josh laughed and bounced Charlotte on his lap. "I had finally gotten my head wrapped around the idea of one baby and now well two are coming."

"Josh," Riley whispered.

"I just feel like there is so much I should do for Maya but I don't know what. She is going to be going through a lot in these next few months and I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to do enough for her," Josh explained.

"Do you plan on being there for her?" Riley asked.

"Of course I do," Josh nodded.

"That's all she needs. Maya just needs stability and someone to be standing by her side. As long as you are there for her. Hold her hand when she breaks down, tell her she looks pretty when she doubts it, and hold her close when she's scared. Just keep doing what you have been doing and Maya will make it through," Riley explained.

"You have always been so wise beyond your age Riley," Josh chuckled. He looked down at the little girl in his lap, who looked just like his niece, and smiled. "You're lucky, Charlotte. With a mom like yours, you are going to do great things in your life."

"I could say the same thing about your twins," Riley smiled. "They are lucky to have you as their dad, Uncle Josh. I have always been really lucky to have you as my uncle."

"Thanks Riley," Josh leaned over and hugged his niece.

"Anything I can do to help," Riley smiled.

. .

"JOSH!" Maya yelled. Josh came running into the bedroom before Maya even finished saying his name.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the babies? Are you okay?" Josh asked, panting and holding his chest.

"What? Everything's fine," Maya insisted.

"Everything's fine?" Josh asked, raising a suspicious eyebrow and crossing his arms. "Why did you scream so loud then?"

"Look!" Maya exclaimed and then pointed at her stomach.

"What am I looking at?" Josh asked, walking closer to his wife.

"Are you serious? You don't see it?" Maya asked, narrowing her eyes at her husband.

"What am I supposed to be seeing?" Josh asked.

"I have a bump!" Maya exclaimed and then pointed at her bare stomach again.

"No you don't," Josh disagreed.

"Josh!" Maya exclaimed.

"I'm sorry but I really don't see it," Josh shook his head.

"How in the world can you not see it?" Maya asked. She ran a hand over her stomach and then looked back up at her husband.

"Honey," Josh chuckled. "I look at you probably more than anyone else in this world. If anyone would know you had a bump it would be me."

"I can't believe that you don't see it," Maya pouted and then looked at herself in the mirror again.

"Why are you wanting a bump so desperately? In a couple of months you are going to want the bump to be gone," Josh laughed.

"I just want to feel them," Maya admitted. "I want to run a hand over my stomach and feel like our babies are really there."

"You will," Josh promised. He walked over and wrapped his arms around his wife. "Soon enough you will have a bump and feeling those twins every single day."

"You are kind of amazing, you know that?" Maya asked.

"I love you," Josh whispered. He leaned down and kissed his wife.

"I love you too," Maya smiled and then pulled him down for another kiss. "Even if you are completely oblivious to my bump."

"Whatever you say babe," Josh laughed and held her close.

. .

"Are you done in there yet?" Josh asked, pulling the comforter up over his legs and adjusting the pillows behind him.

"Give me one second. I have to finish washing off my face wash," Maya said. Josh heard her rummaging around for a few more minutes and then she finally emerged, flipping the lights off behind her. He smiled because she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Even with her hair up in a messy bun, one of his old tee shirts, and a pair of his old sweatpants. Her face was completely clear of any make up and she was absolutely gorgeous in his eyes.

"Is it finally time for bed?" Josh asked. Maya crawled into bed with him and pulled the covers up over herself.

"I am exhausted," Maya let out an exhausted sigh. She reached for her cellphone and turned the volume off before tossing it back onto the night stand.

"Me too," Josh agreed. "This week has been so long and draining."

"Do you have to wake up early tomorrow?" Maya asked.

"I have to go meet with a client at like eleven," Josh said.

"So we finally get to sleep in?" Maya asked, excited at the idea of a lazy morning with her husband.

"I look forward to it," Josh smiled. He opened his arm and Maya instantly cuddled into his side.

"Are you still happy about this?" Maya asked.

"What?" Josh asked, looking down curiously at his wife.

"Are you still happy about having twins together?" Maya asked.

"Of course I am," Josh insisted. "I am ready to start this next chapter of our lives together."

"Me too," Maya smiled. She nuzzled her face into his neck and cuddled close to her husband. Josh wrapped an arm around his wife and before he could pull her close he stopped.

"Woah," Josh gasped.

"What? What's wrong?" Maya asked, looking up in surprise at her husband.

"It's just your stomach. I can feel the bump you were talking about early," Josh said. Maya sat up and smiled at her husband.

"I told you!" Maya exclaimed.

"It just feels so real now," Josh whispered. He looked down at her stomach in awe and admiration. Maya reached out and grabbed onto his hand. She guided his hand towards her stomach and rested it on her small bump.

"Those are our babies," Maya whispered. "I know it's early but that's them."

"Those are our babies," Josh whispered in awe. Maya stared at his face, while he stared at her stomach. He was looking at her stomach with a look she had only seen one other time, their wedding day. He looked completely in love and like nothing else in the world mattered. "I love you, all three of you," Josh said. He looked up and smiled at his wife.

"And we love you," Maya smiled before leaning forward and kissing her husband. This was the beginning of something amazing and beautiful for the married couple. They were ready to take this next step and watch something beautiful blossom right before their eyes.
