Chapter 7
Riley Friar paced back and forth in her bedroom. The newly turned twenty-eight year old had huge news for her husband and she was deciding the best way to tell him. She was pregnant with their first child and the excitement she was feeling was contagious. She knew that if she did not tell her husband soon, he would figure it out on his own. He always had a way of reading Riley and knowing exactly what was going through her mind. She weighed the options in her head. She could take him out to a nice dinner and tell him there. She decided against that. Maybe a cute little gift that was baby related? She shook her head and let out a sigh. He was going to be home any minute and she had no idea how she wanted to do this.
"Ugh," Lucas groaned as he walked through the front door and then slammed the door closed behind him. Riley flinched at the noise and quickly rushed out to the living room to see her less than pleased husband.
"Hey honey," Riley cautiously smiled. The twenty-nine year old turned to his wife and gave her a half smile. "What's the matter?"
"The resident deleted all the files on the computer today and it took four hours for someone from tech to get there and fix it," Lucas explained before dropping on the couch with a sigh. Riley walked over and took a seat next to Lucas before grabbing his hand. "It's kind of hard to deal with patients when we have no records on why they are there. It's not like the animals can tell us what's wrong."
"Don't their owners tell you?" Riley asked. Her husband was now a full time veterinarian after years of school and hard work.
"Some of them were left there overnight so we had to call all the owners to confirm why they were in," Lucas said and then decided to change the subject. "How was your day?"
"It was good," Riley smiled and then thought of her kindergarteners. "They were adorable as always."
"Do you want to go out for dinner?" Lucas asked his wife. "I think if I sit around the house I'm just going to think of my day and get annoyed all over again."
"Sure," Riley nodded. "Chinese food?"
"Sounds perfect. Just let me change and then we can head out," Lucas said before standing. Before he walked out of the room, he leaned down and kissed his wife. "Seeing you always makes my day better," Lucas said and then went to change. Riley blushed at her husband's and without even realizing it, she placed a hand on her stomach.
GMWRUCAS. GMWRUCAS. GMWRUCAS. GMWRUCAS. GMWRUCAS.
"I'm stuffed," Lucas groaned when the two were on the subway back from the restaurant.
"I think you ate enough for the both of us," Riley laughed.
"You didn't really eat much. Are you feeling okay?" Lucas asked and Riley smiled at his worried tone.
"I'm okay," Riley nodded. "My stomach has just been off a little lately."
"Have you gone to the doctor?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah," Riley said and felt a little queasy when the subway shifted. She leaned against the pole and smiled at her husband who was on the seat behind her.
"Are you sure you don't want to sit?" Lucas asked.
"I sat so much today. It feels good to stand and stretch my legs out for a little bit," Riley explained.
"If you insist," Lucas said and then felt the subway jolt. His wife stumbled a bit and fell into his lap. "Hey."
"Hi," Riley laughed.
"I'm Lucas," Lucas smirked.
"I love it," Riley smiled a cute little smile.
"Seems to happen to us a lot, huh?" Lucas tightened his grip on Riley and leaned his head on her arm.
"Hopefully not for a while though. I might crush you," Riley smirked and knew that this was her moment. What better place than their first meeting and first kiss?
"What are you talking about?" Lucas laughed. "You could never crush me."
"I just may in about seven months," Riley slowly said and watched her husband's face for a reaction.
"Seven months?" Lucas raised an eyebrow. Riley just smiled and then looked down at her now flat stomach. Lucas's eyes widened as he connected eyes with his wife. "You're pregnant?"
"I'm having your baby Friar," Riley smiled and then felt her husband's lips connect with hers. She had one of those moments where she felt breathless in the best kind of way and could feel the love radiating off her husband. "So you're okay with this?"
"Are you kidding? This is the best news! We're having a baby!" Lucas cheered.
"I love you," Riley smiled.
"I love you so much," Lucas said.
"Looks like the subway is the beginning of another new era for us. It's the place we met and the place you found out about baby Friar," Riley said.
"Looks like the subway really is our lucky place," Lucas said and then placed a hand on Riley's flat stomach. "I love you so much little one," Lucas kissed her stomach and then connected eyes with Riley. "Thank you."
"For what?" Riley asked.
"For making me whole again. For believing in me when no one else did. For being my home," Lucas said. Riley's eyes welled with tears and she rested her forehead on Lucas's.
"Thank you for being you," Riley kissed Lucas and then pulled back to smile at him. In just seven months, the two would welcome their first son. It was another moment that the two would remember for the rest of their lives.
