August 2016

Riley laid on her bed with Maya on top of her, their lips joined together. The blonde had one hand on the brunette's hip and the other tangled in her hair. Maya's mouth traveled down Riley's neck while her hand played with the hem of Riley's shirt.

"Peaches," Riley gasped as Maya sucked gently.

"Whoa baby!" A voice called, causing them to break apart.

Auggie and Ava stood in the doorway gawking at them. Maya rolled off and laid next to Riley; they were both flushed and panting heavily.

"What's going on?" Cory asked as he ran came running into the room. "Ah!" he screamed when he peered into his daughter's room.

Maya sat up with her hands raised in surrender, "Nothing was happening, I swear."

"The blonde was on top of Riley," Ava reported with a grin.

Cory's eyes flickered between the two girls, "Run." He said calmly.

"Huh?" Maya questioned in confusion.

Riley sat up when she saw the red deepening on her father's face, "I think you should run."

"Oh shit," Maya jumped up when Cory lunged forward.

The closest exit was through the bay window, but the locks were stuck. Maya slipped around Cory and flew out the door as he tried to catch her. Maya reached the kitchen to find Topanga staring at her concerned. The blonde girl ducked behind her in fear.

"He found out?"

"Yup."

Cory ran in, gasping when he saw how calm Topanga was, "You knew?"

"I did; they were going to tell you soon."

Riley and the two younger kids ran into the room, the former quickly going to Maya.

"Why keep this from me?" Cory asked as Riley coaxed Maya from behind Topanga.

"I really care about your daughter, Mr. Matthews," Maya smiled quirkily, taking Riley's hand in hers, "And I'm hoping she'll be my girlfriend, officially."

Riley giggled, "Really?"

"Yeah," Maya had a goofy grin plastered on her face.

Cory watched the two and he smiled. Riley was happy very happy; maybe he should give Maya a chance.

"You break her heart," Cory spoke, grabbing the girls' attention. "You won't be able to run far enough."

Maya lunged at Cory, engulfing him into a hug. "I'd never intentionally hurt her, ever."

A few days later, Katy and Maddie came home. Katy and Shawn quickly settled into a routine with their little one; with Maya and Riley giving a hand when needed. They had a good little set up going.

Riley moved into Maya's room once they got back to the Hunter household. Shawn and Katy didn't even bat an eye, but they did inform the girls their door would have to remain open during daylight hours. They furthered it by saying they didn't mind if the two were intimate, but wanted them to be mature and safe about it. Maya had already been tested as part of her drug and alcohol rehab; it came back negative. Riley, even though she wasn't worried, got tested as well and got a negative result. They got the okay from the Hunters and doctors that it was totally alright to have sex.

One night before bed, Maya held Riley close as they whispered back and forth to each other. "You never answered me?" The blonde asked against Riley's neck.

The brunette kissed her nose, "What did I not answer, Peaches?"

"It's been a week," the blonde started as her fingers danced over Riley's shoulder blades. "Still don't know if you want to be my girlfriend or not, Honey."

Riley sighed contently, "You never officially asked me." She gently teased.

"Okay," Maya cleared her throat. "Will you, Riley Matthews, do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

"Yes. I would love to be your girlfriend, Maya."

Riley thought for a moment after her response, a question popped into her head and she felt confusion fill her. "Peaches, why did you wait so long to ask again?"

Maya exhaled sharply, "Because I was thinking about doing something once I asked you."

"What's that?" Riley asked in wonderment.

Her girlfriend blushed, "See if you wanted to make this physical…"

"Oh?" Riley sat up. "Well, we certainly can, but only if you want to."

Maya nodded, "I think we should go slow, but I would like us to be doing more than what we have been." Her voice was a little nervous as she spoke. "I want to be with you, but I'm still nervous."

Riley ran a hand through Maya's hair, "You're in charge. Whatever you want; this is at your pace."

The blonde leaned over and began to kiss her girlfriend. Maya slowly slipped her hand into Riley's pajama pants to show she was ready. The brunette moaned into her mouth as hesitant fingers made contact with her skin.

Maya was nervous and unsure of what to do next. She began to panic as her fingers stilled, "Are you sure this is okay?"

Riley broke their kiss, "It's okay, Peaches." She mumbled against Maya's lips.

Maya nodded to confirm she understood. Once gaining permission, her trembling fingers began to move rhythmically against Riley's clit. Despite being very self-conscious, Maya tried on Riley what she knew worked on herself. She was under the assumption it was working as her girlfriend gasped and twisted in response to her touch.

"Stop," Riley paused to let out a moan.

"Was I doing something wrong?" Maya began to panic.

"Don't worry about it, Maya," Riley's breath came out shallow. She smiled encouragingly at her girlfriend.

"But-"

"It's okay. Promise."

When it became obvious she wasn't going to be able to get Riley there, Maya retracted her wet hand. She brought it to her lips and sucked on her fingers. Riley groaned at the sight.

"Tease," The brunette jested.

Maya chortled, "I was thinking you'd be offended if I didn't."

"Well," Riley paused shyly, "What did you think?"

Maya blushed red, ducking her head. "I'm not complaining," the blonde smirked and her girlfriend giggled in response.

Riley's hand found Maya's bare hip then, "You're calling the shots…" She breathed before trailing her fingers down Maya's pelvis until they were at her center.

Maya opened her legs to encourage Riley to take the next step. The brunette went right to work and Maya felt a rush of heat come over her. She was slow and careful, but tactical. The blonde became putty in her girlfriend's hands with each precise moment.

"Riley," Maya panted out as an intense feeling began to build.

Riley gently smiled at her, "You're okay, Peaches."

"But, it… Honey," Maya was quickly becoming undone. "Oh God," she moaned.

Maya's breath became ragged as her eyes rolled back into her head. She had gotten herself off before, at least she thought she had, but this was something different. Her entire body felt like it was on fire, all from the touch of Riley's fingers.

With one final move of Riley's hand, Maya's body vehemently clenched and shuddered in response. "Riley," she gasped out as the feeling struck every nerve ending.

The brunette kissed her then, slow and deeply. Maya returned it, intensifying the action. Riley wrapped both arms tightly around the blonde as they shared tender and sloppy kisses.

Once returning back to earth, "What the hell was that?" Maya rasped out from panting so hard.

"An orgasm, Maya."

"No, it wasn't. I've had them before, Riley. By myself, a lot, I think. So yeah, I know what an orgasm feels like."

Riley giggled then, "Well, maybe you've had ones before by yourself, but I intend to put those hands of yours to shame." She turned a deep scarlet.

"Damn," Maya mused. "I'm definitely looking forward to that."

"Good," Riley grinned before placing a kiss to her forehead. "Me too."

September 2016

Maddie was two weeks old, Maya was doing fantastic in school and she was opening up more to Riley everyday. Their relationship was growing stronger emotionally and closer physically. The bumps they'd had in the beginning were smoothed out and it was getting easier each time.

Riley was helping Maya with a science project when she blurted out the secret she'd been hiding.

"I may not be able to have children."

"You what?" Riley was unsure she'd heard Maya right. The reveal wasn't shocking, Riley was just surprised because of how young Maya is.

The blonde sighed, "I might not be able to have kids. My miscarriage was really bad, and the doctor said there was permanent damage done."

"Might though, right?" Her girlfriend smiled as she squeezed Maya's hand.

"Yeah," Maya confirmed. "I could get pregnant again without any problems or I may never be able to again. Won't know until I try." A single tear slipped down her cheek.

Riley wrapped the girl into her arms, "Well, we don't have to worry about that right now. Our current concern is you completing this project."

"You're not upset?" Maya asked apprehensively.

Her girlfriend kissed her then, "No, of course not. I care about you Maya and nothing will ever change that. And one of the perks of being with a girl is that I can still have kids even if you can't," Riley said blushing.

"Wait what?"

"Not that we're at a point where we need to be discussing it, but know that if it comes to that we can make it work. No matter what."

A/N: Thanks to my betas, as always.
