Riley's head shot up as quickly as possible. She had the churning feeling in her stomach, and she knew it wouldn't end well. She tried her hardest to untangle herself from her loving boyfriend's embrace, but it wasn't working. "Lucas!" She whisper yelled, and nudged him. Lucas stirred a bit and moved his hands to his head. Riley took that as her time to run. She bolted to the bathroom down the hall. As soon as her head was above the toilet she emptied the contents of her stomach.
Immediately following her was Lucas. He pulled her hair into a ponytail and rubbed circles on her back as she dry heaved into the porcelain bowl. She slowly sat back and rested her head on Lucas's shoulder. He kissed her crown and just held her for a few minutes. Riley then looked at him graciously and tried to stand up. The blond boy was immediately at her side. He steadied her and took her hand as they continued to her bedroom.
Well the term "her" was used loosely. Ever since all the relatively close people had found out about Riley's pregnancy, Lucas had practically moved in while they searched for an apartment of their own. Thankfully, Lucas had gotten a job in a very high end restaurant on 5th Avenue, and it helped to bring in some more money. Also Cory and Topanga had decided to help them with a bit for the first few months' rent.
They slid into now Riley's bed, and Lucas's arms were immediately surrounding her. The brunette snuggled deeper into his strong arms and sighed. A small smiled spread across both of their lips as the two fell back into a deep sleep. They both dreamed about their future lives. Them and their baby.

"I feel fat!" Riley exclaimed one morning while they were trying to get ready for school. Lucas chuckled from his place in her closet. "No, Lucas I'm serious!" She grunted while trying to zip up her jeans. She was lying down in very weird positions on her unmade bed. Nothing was working, and Riley was getting sick of it. It wasn't until recently that she had actually struggle to put on her pants.
"Here." Lucas came over to her with some sweatpants. Riley quickly threw her jeans on the floor, and grabbed for the comfortable material. As she got them on, she let out a sigh, and looked at herself in the mirror. Lucas came behind her trailing kisses on her neck to make the pregnant teenager feel better. "You're beautiful." He whispered in her ear.
"No I'm not." She huffed in reply. Her brown eyes started to fill with tears. Her hands slowly began to rub the almost nonexistent stomach. The past week her morning sickness had started to go away, and Riley could eat again, causing her to gain weight. Although it wasn't much, and only she could see the weight gain, it still made her feel like a whale.
Lucas then brought her to face him, but she kept her head down; forcing her face into his chest. She slowly started to cry as the blond teenager rubbed her back and shushed her quietly. He kissed her brown curls and started to sway. Lucas knew this was always a way to get his beloved to calm down a bit. Then he started to hum "Better Man" by Lady Antebellum. Finally, Riley stopped her sobbing, and continued to hum along with the slightly older boy.
"You are so beautiful. Like I mean the most beautiful person I've ever seen. Even more beautiful than any model, and any actress out there. I love you." He told her. Riley then smiled, and suddenly the world was brighter in Lucas's eyes. As long as Riley "Sunshine" Matthews was smiling, the world would always be a better place.

Riley was sitting on the couch waiting for Lucas to get ready so they could go to another doctor's appointment. "C'mon Mad dog!" She giggled as she called. Soon before her, was Lucas Friar in all his glory, picking her up and spinning her around as she giggled even harder. Once she was back on the ground she began to speak, "Let's gooooooo!" She tugged on his arm. She had to get him out of that if they didn't want to be late to the appointment thanks to Riley's now horny self.
They had finally made it to the OBGYN, and the mother-to-be was once again in the chair. Finally Dr. Wilson entered and smiled at the two eager teens. "Well hello again!" She cheerily welcomed them. "Shall we get started?" She was met with quick nodding. Soon the machine was up and running. Riley was once again met with the cold gel on her stomach, but she didn't care since she would be able to see her baby again.
The small blob was on the screen and Riley cooed. Lucas tightened the grip he had on her hand, and smiled at her lovingly. "Would you like to hear the heartbeat?" The doctor questioned them. Lucas replied before Riley could with a loud and excited yes. Dr. Wilson chuckled at the boy's reaction and started to play the swishing noise.
It wasn't until she heard that heartbeat did it really become real to Riley. She thought it was when she saw her baby on that screen for the first time, but hearing the heart beat made it even more surreal. Lucas looked at her with teary eyes, and he kissed her with unspoken words. The doctor left them alone with the sonogram picture, and bade them farewell.
"This just keeps getting better and better." Lucas told Riley after kissing her again. Riley nodded, her eyes shining with unshed tears. Life was perfect.
