Chapter 9

"Then you will kiss the bride and I will announce you Mr. and Mrs. Farkle Minkus," The minister said.

"Give her a kiss now," Zay encouraged from his spot behind Farkle.

"Yeah, do it!" Maya chimed in. Farkle leaned forward and kissed his wife-to-be, which earned him cheers from all his friends.

"Then you will proceed down the aisle as husband and wife," The minister said.

"Milady?" Farkle extended his hand and Smackle smiled as she grabbed onto it.

"Then the wedding party will follow," The minister said.

"Mrs. Friar?" Lucas extended his arm and Riley looped her arm through it.

"Of course," Riley smiled at her husband.

"Sugar?" Zay smirked at the blonde.

"Why of course," Maya smiled and looped her arm through his. The group of six met in the back of the church.

"It feels so real now," Smackle said. "Being here and practicing."

"I think that's when it really started to set in for me too," Riley admitted.

"Tomorrow is going to be the best day of our lives," Farkle smiled at Smackle.

"I couldn't agree more honey," Smackle said as she leaned in to kiss Farkle. Riley smiled up at Lucas, and he smiled back. They knew that their wedding was the best day of their lives and they had another best day coming up for them in six months.

"Are we meeting you at the restaurant?" Zay asked.

"Yeah. We are going to head over with our parents," Farkle explained.

"We will see you there then," Maya waved at the engaged couple as they walked over to meet their parents.

"I can't believe they are finally getting married," Zay said as they walked out the church and towards the restaurant.

"It sure has been a long time coming," Lucas agreed as he wrapped an arm around his wife's shoulders and guided her down the street.

"Do you remember how nervous he was at the thought of proposing?" Riley asked.

"He passed out!" Maya exclaimed as the others laughed.

"He completely convinced himself that she was going to say no," Riley shook her head laughing.

"Ranger Rick sure saved the day on that one," Maya gestured towards Lucas.

"She's going to say no!" Farkle exclaimed. Riley, Lucas, Maya, and Zay all shared a look and tried to hide their amusement.

"No she's not," Maya shook her head. "She completely loves you."

"Why would she say yes?" Farkle asked.

"Because she loves you," Riley said.

"I think I'm going to pass out," Farkle mumbled and then proceeded to pass out.

"Farkle!" Riley yelled as she rushed over to his side with the others. Farkle quickly opened his eyes and looked around the room.

"What happened?" Farkle asked.

"Dude! You passed out!" Zay widened his eyes in shock.

"Sit there," Lucas pointed to the couch and helped his friend over there.

"What's happening?" Farkle asked as Lucas sat in front of him.

"Listen to me," Lucas said. "Smackle loves you more than anything else in this world. She has been with you through so much. You both helped each other through some of the toughest times in your lives. She wants to spend a lifetime with you. If she did not want to be with you, she would have left you by now. There is no way she is going to say no to you."

"Damn," Zay mumbled to Riley. "Your husband has a way with his words."

"Yeah he does," Riley agreed. She looked at her husband in complete admiration as he encouraged his friend. If she was not already married to him, she would ask him right then and there.

"Thanks Lucas," Farkle nodded his head.

"So are you going to ask her now?" Lucas asked.

"I am going to ask her now!" Farkle exclaimed as he jumped up and walked over towards the front door. "See you guys later!"

"I think he took the word now a little literally," Maya laughed.

"If it gets him to propose then I'm all for it," Lucas shrugged.

"I'm sure he would have figured it out," Lucas insisted.

"Give yourself some credit. You really helped him out," Riley nudged her husband's side and smiled up at him.

"Yeah. Maybe that's why he picked you over me for best man," Zay said.

"Oh here we go," Lucas rolled his eyes but laughed at his best friend.

"This is a nice restaurant," Riley admired as the group walked inside.

"Let's get this show on the road," Maya clapped her hands and walked inside.

. .

"Hey you," Lucas said as he walked out onto the balcony that the restaurant had and over to his wife. Riley turned around and offered her husband a sweet smile. He wrapped his jacket around her shoulders and leaned across the railing, just like she was doing. "What are you doing out here alone?"

"Just thinking," Riley shrugged.

"Anything in particular?" Lucas asked.

"Our baby," Riley admitted.

"What about them?" Lucas asked.

"I can't help but think about the nerves I feel," Riley sighed.

"The nerves?" Lucas scrunched his eyebrows together and grabbed onto her hand.

"What if I'm not cut out to be a mother? What if I mess up? I know it's so early in my pregnancy but I'm scared," Riley explained.

"That's not possible," Lucas shook his head. "There is no way that you can be bad at being a mother. The love you feel for everyone makes you perfect for it. You see the best in people and always want to see them succeed. There is no way that you can mess this up."

"How do you know that?" Riley asked.

"Because you have me. I'm going to be there with you every step of the way. We are going to handle this like we handle everything else, together. We are a team, Riley. We are going to give this baby all the love and support that they deserve," Lucas said.

"I love you," Riley whispered as she moved forward to hug her husband. Lucas kissed her forehead and ran a hand down her back.

"I love you too princess," Lucas promised. "Want to hear something funny?"

"What's that?" Riley asked, still wrapped up in her husband's arms.

"I had a freak out very similar to this one. I talked to your dad and he made everything better for me," Lucas admitted.

"You went to my dad?" Riley asked with a smile on her face. She knew that his relationship with his own dad was not the best and she loved that he felt he could go to her dad for advice and support.

"I did," Lucas said. "He really helped."

"I'm glad he was able to help you," Riley said as she looked up at her husband. He looked down and kissed her on the lips.

"Do you feel better?" Lucas asked.

"You made it better," Riley whispered and then rested her head on his chest.

. .

"Give the speech you wrote," Lucas nudged his wife's shoulder.

"Do you think it's a good speech?" Riley asked.

"I have heard to practice it so many times. I think it's great. You got this," Lucas encouraged. Riley smiled at her husband before looking around the room.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" Riley asked as she stood up and tapped her glass. The room quieted down and looked at the brunette. "I'd like to say a few words," Riley said before taking a deep breath. "I have been friends with Farkle pretty much my entire life. There has never been anything in my life that he has not been able to help me through. He has always stood by my side and encouraged me to be the best version of myself. When he and Smackle started to date, I thought it was a perfect match. I never met anyone else in this world that I thought were better for each other. They have pushed each other to be better, challenged each other, and above all loved each other. I have been so lucky to watch these two fall in love and grow as a couple. I for one cannot wait to see what is next for the two of them," Riley finished as she smiled at her two best friends. "So here is to Farkle and Smackle, may your life be filled with love and happiness."

"To Farkle and Smackle!" All the guests cheered and then took a sip of their own drinks.

"That was beautiful Riley," Smackle walked over and hugged her friend.

"I'm so happy for the two of you and am so lucky to be a part of your special day," Riley smiled.

"We would never have a wedding that you weren't a part of," Farkle promised.

"What about you Ranger Rick?" Maya walked over and nudged Lucas's shoulder. "No speech from you?"

"I'm saving my speech for tomorrow," Lucas said.

"You better not embarrass me," Farkle narrowed his eyes at Lucas.

"Me? Embarrass you? Never!" Lucas protested but smirked.

"Lucas!" Farkle exclaimed.

"Guess you are just going to have to wait until tomorrow," Lucas nonchalantly shrugged his shoulders.

"Is that your cousin Farkle?" Zay walked over and pointed at the brunette in the corner.

"No," Farkle shook his head. "She's just a really good friend of my family."

"She is all kinds of beautiful," Zay commented as he stared at the girl.

"Oh here we go," Riley shook her head.

"What? I can't admire her beauty?" Zay asked.

"We all know what's next. You are going to go over there and try to get her number," Maya said.

"I will succeed," Zay insisted as he walked over to talk to the brunette.

"Wait till he finds out that she has a serious boyfriend," Farkle laughed.

"Farkle! Why didn't you tell him?" Riley widened her eyes and looked at her friend.

"It's more fun this way," Farkle laughed. The group all burst out laughing when Zay sent a glare in Farkle's direction.

"I would run honey," Smackle said to her fiancée.

"See you guys later," Farkle quickly turned and rushed out of the restaurant.

"I am fast Minkus! You better run!" Zay called out. The group of friends all just laughed as Zay tried to catch Farkle.

. .

"Any last minute doubts?" Maya asked. The three girls were all in Riley's room, ready for a sleepover.

"None at all," Smackle shook her head. "I'm ready to become Mrs. Minkus."

"We actually have something for you for your something new," Riley said as she gestured between her and Maya.

"You do?" Smackle asked.

"Yeah, I had it made in Texas. We thought it could be our bridesmaid gift and something new," Riley said as she pulled out a small box and handed it to Smackle.

"You guys didn't have to do that," Smackle said.

"Open it!" Maya encouraged. Smackle looked curiously at her friends and then opened the box. She let out a small gasp and pulled the locket out of the box.

"What is this?" Smackle whispered.

"Look inside," Riley said. Smackle opened the locket and placed a hand over her mouth. There was a picture of her and Farkle on the left side of the heart from right after they got engaged. On the right side was a picture of all their friends huddled together.

"This is beautiful," Smackle looked at her friends with tears in her eyes.

"We thought it would be something special to carry around with you as you enter this next chapter of your life," Riley explained.

"I absolutely love it," Smackle said. "I wanted to thank you both."

"For what?" Maya asked.

"For being my friends. I know I am not always the easiest person to get along with. I know I have a hard time expressing myself but you two never gave up on me. From the moment you met me, you decided we would be friends. My friendship with the two of you has always been something I valued greatly and I appreciate you both so much," Smackle said. Riley and Maya both brushed away tears and moved over to hug Smackle.

"We love you Smackle," Riley leaned her head against Smackle's.

"I love you both," Smackle said.

"Best friends till the end," Maya promised.

. .

"Dude! Stop dunking on my team!" Zay protested as he pressed the buttons on his remote furiously.

"Then tell your team to learn how to block better!" Lucas retorted.

"Easy for you to say when you're winning," Zay rolled his eyes.

"You all ready for tomorrow?" Lucas asked.

"As ready as can be," Farkle nodded. "I'm just ready to be married."

"That's what makes all the chaos worth it," Lucas said.

"I can't believe I'm going to be the only non-married one in the group," Zay grumbled.

"Maya's not married," Farkle pointed out.

"Oh please. She and Josh will be engaged within a month," Zay rolled his eyes.

"You think?" Farkle asked.

"They look so into each other lately. I give it a month before there is a ring on her finger," Zay said.

"Didn't she say no to him though?" Lucas asked.

"I think all this wedding fever is going to hit her and she will realize just how much she wants it," Zay explained.

"You're probably right," Farkle agreed.

"Maybe that will be the next big reunion," Zay said. Farkle sent a look in Lucas's direction and he smirked. Lucky for them, Zay was too distracted by the video game to even notice.

"Maybe," Farkle nodded.

. .

"Hey honey," Topanga smiled at her daughter when she saw her walk into the living room. "Can't sleep?"

"Not really," Riley shook her head. "What about you?"

"Not really," Topanga said. "I'm actually glad you came out here. I have something for you."

"You do?" Riley's eyes lit up as she moved to sit with her mom on the couch.

"I found this the other day and wanted you to have it," Topanga said as she pulled the small yellow blanket out from behind her back and handed it to her daughter. "It was your baby blanket. I want you to give it to your baby."

"Mom," Riley whispered as tears welled up in her eyes.

"I'm so happy for you, Riley. You deserve to be a mom. Now I want your baby to feel safe and warm in the same blanket that you did. I want them to have a piece of you with them at night," Topanga explained as she brushed away her own tear.

"Are you sure?" Riley asked.

"Absolutely," Topanga nodded. Riley scooted closer and rested her head on her mom's shoulder.

"I know for a fact that my baby is going to love it," Riley said.

"I love you Riley," Topanga kissed the top of her head and then rested her head on top of it.

"I love you too mommy," Riley whispered. "Can we stay like this for a little while?"

"We can stay here for as long as you want," Topanga promised. Riley cuddled into her mom's side as Topanga wrapped an arm around her daughter. Riley felt safe and loved in that moment. She hoped that one day she was able to pass on that much love to her child. She never wanted them to doubt the love she felt for them. She knew that if she was the kind of mom that her own mom was for her, then her child was going to be more than okay.
