A/N - I am happy/ sad to announce that this is indeed the final chapter of small bump. This story was always going to be short and ten chapters felt like the right time to finish it. Thankyou all for the endless support I get with this story. I don't
think I will be doing a Sequel but there will be an epilogue with time jumps so we get a view of their future lives. Enjoy my lovelies.

AUGUST 9 MONTHS-THREE DAYS AFTER DUE DATE.

"I've got my rubber duckie. I'm in the tub with bubblies. He isn't very fuzzy. I know my duckie loves me. Call up my homie, Ernie. The orange one, you heard me." Lucas sung staring intently at the computer screen, I put my bag down on the couch opposite
him and quietly move to sit down, what the hell was he doing.

I look over at the computer screen and See Daveed Diggs with an oversized bow tie, lyrics bouncing across the screen, Lucas recites them almost perfectly but stuffs up on the final line.

'Uh. God damn it.' Lucas growls moving to drink his water, I let out a little giggle and moved to massage his shoulders.

'I think they'll still let you into college, even if you can't get that last line of The rubber Duckie rap.' I joke taking his cup and moving downstairs towards the kitchen. I can hear his light footsteps behind me, probably following me down the steps.

'Did you finish up the room.' I ask my arms wrapping around Lucas' neck, I inhale his scent and the mass amount of kicking in my stomach doesn't go unnoticed.

'You will be just as excited as bubba, when you here that I did. Any news on the stubborn one.' He mellows sitting down. I frown slightly knowing there is no news, no labour, no alarms, no bubba.

'No sadly. Mum, Maya and I walked and walked, up hills, down hills. Not so much as a cramp.' I sighed flopping my self down next to Lucas, well flop as well as I could with my very big stomach. It was getting so big I was doubting even my biggest maternity
clothes would fit. The doctors had told Lucas and I she would still be abnormally small even with the big stomach, but they also told us that she would be most likely pre-maturely born so what do they know.

'I'm sorry honey, you can't force it though. She'll come when she wants to, now gossip girl or friends.' He questioned, the scoff was the only reply he got and I Quickly heard the familiar sound of the gossip girl opening. I watched as serena ran down
the streets of the upper east side before my eyes drifted off into blackness.

I jolted up wards panting and holding my stomach, trying to conceal the pain that was surging through it. I looked around the dark room and saw that I Was somehow in my bedroom, Lucas must have carried me. I continued to pant but didn't wake Lucas, I
didn't want to stress him if it was just a small cramp. Slowly I waddled towards the bathroom Focusing on my breathing, I removed my phone from my back pocket and dialled Maya's number. She would be no help but maybe she could calm me, the ringing
stopped and I heard a confused hello from the other end.

'Um Maya I am in a lot of pain right now, what's happening.' I fretted, the pain was causing my brain to be somewhere else and I could barely remember my own name.

'Ok Riley. Are you wet right now.' Maya soothed through the phone, I furrowed my brows looking down and noticing my pants were very wet at the moment, in my panic state I must have not noticed, or even considered the fact that my water could've broke.

'Oh my god Maya. Oh my god.' I panicked and I heard Maya chuckle, since when was she calm.

'Ok Riley, I'll call your doctor and tell him you're coming. You wake Lucas and tell him to take you to the hospital, you do know who Lucas is?' Maya teased and I let out a grunt before shutting off my phone and waddling back into my room, a dopey Lucas
was sitting slightly upright, he probably heard me yelling at Maya. He looked over at me and concern filled his drooped face. I let out a shaky breathe and I started to get out of bed.

'What's wrong Riley.'

'My water broke. Maya call hospital. Take me to hospital.' I got out and Lucas quickly became very worried, as the contraction subsided I welcomed the amusement, I watched Lucas fret grabbing a bag our phones and my arm. We slowly moved down the stairs
and I was thankful that my contraction was over for now, but my stomach quickly churned at the thought of the pain I would be through soon, very, very soon.

I swiped my phone off of Lucas and texted the "Riley baby alert" group chat. It really was a good idea, it was so much easier than having to think of who needed to know and it meant I wouldn't forget anyone. Almost instantly I got at least 5 replies but
I didn't bother checking. The roads were empty and I took it upon myself to actually check the time. It was 3:47am, I really wish I was sleeping right now. Her eyes fluttered shut and before she knew it she was in a wheelchair being wheeled around
the halls, she looked around and saw Maya and Lucas with a nurse and when she looking behind her she saw Zay, Topanga, Cory, Farkle and smackle all standing in the waiting room. There was something weird about what she saw though, something she didn't
expect, she hit Lucas side making him flop like a noodle. He looked down with concern before everything halted to a stop.

'What's wrong.' He questioned, the nurse, deciding we didn't have Time for this, kept wheeling at a slower pace. Maya how ever just wanted to sit down and nap, so she was pretty much gone in the blink of an eye, plus she wanted to beat Lucas to the comfiest
chair in the waiting room.

'Your parents Lucas, your parents were back there in the waiting room. They care they really do care.' I heaved a few tears welling up in my eyes, even though I was hopeful for Lucas, I had my doubts on whether his parents would actually ever care for
us. Them being here meant they wanted to be a part of our babies life, even if it was just a little, and I would welcome that with open arms.

'I always thought they would, I mean Josh came through and him and Maya are friends again. Maya might be dating Zay but Josh is dating his perfect match, life just works in funny ways sometimes.' He sighed looking around at why we hadn't arrived at our
room yet. This was the longest walk ever.

'Yeah maybe we needed to lose them to appreciate th-' I was cut off by yet another contraction, I quickly grabbed Lucas' hand and squeezed as hard as I could. I watched the discomfort over come his face and both he and I tried to focus on our breathing.
After forever we had finally made it to my room and I was staring at the long needle that was in front of me. I was supposed to be using some drug that came through a whistle but after seeing my "state" they changed their minds. The worst part was
I really had no say in the Matter. The needle hit my arm and my thoughts quickly became clouded.

I awoke once again to the sound of the wheels of my bed being rolled, I could hear the doctors speaking and I figured out that I was at a safe point for my c-section. A month ago Abbie asked us if we were having a c-section or a natural birth but after
thinking and thinking, I couldn't remember which one I had decided. So in the heat of the moment I chose a c-section, although their were a lot of setbacks that came with it, everyone told me it was the best and safest option for the baby and especially
me. I had such a tiny body and it just wasn't ready for a bubba like it should be. I watched Abbie and her nurses prepare everything and start fiddling with my stomach, I was definitely numb enough not to feel it though , heck I was numb enough to
not feel a plane hitting me.

'Riley your mum and Maya are able to come in the room with us for a little bit. Is that ok sweetheart.' Lucas asked his hand sweeping across my face and caressing it. I smiled and faintly pulled my hand up to make a thumbs up. He giggled and we quickly
were met with the similar faces of my best friend and my sister, they sat down next to in the surgical room. I couldn't hide the face of fear as everyone started, I was very scared, I was scared of the surgery, of the health of the baby, of the health
of me. Then it went deeper, I was worried about Lucas and I, not being good enough for the baby, Lucas not being able to do it. There was so many things that could go wrong, and even in my Riley mind, the positives were still low.

I tried to remember the therapy I went through so the thoughts would stop. I went through weeks of therapy so I wouldn't develop postpartum depression.

I listen to the mutters of moral support and advice, but there was nothing coming in my brain, everything was clouded. The process began to start and my eyes drooped once again. I tried to stay awake but I knew Lucas would wake me when the baby
was coming anyway.

My eyes flew open ready to stab a bitch, my arm moved to whack this person but when I saw the glistening eyes of Maya Hart, I remembered, I remembered what was happening and I was met with the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen in my whole life.

Lucas was holding our baby girl, staring lovingly into her eyes and humming. Instantly I felt my face feel wet as the tears rolled rapidly down my face. My everything, my love, my heart, my hope was standing right in front of me.

'You wanna hold your baby mummy' My mother cried moving over towards Lucas who was now looking at me, his face mirroring mine. He slowly passes me my baby and I look into her gorgeous green eyes.

Her skin was perfectly smooth and her rosy cheeks made my face glow brighter than it ever has before, she was so happy, everything about her screamed happy. I sat there watching her holding her, Lucas had his hand on my shoulder still staring at our baby.

'Ok mom we still have some tests to run so can you hand the baby over, we will be really quickly.' The nurse questioned, I went to pass the baby over to Lucas when Maya's voice chirped up.

'Can I hold her.'

'Uh yeah of course.' I replied handing over the baby before getting wheeled out.

S.

I watched as Maya teared up and started to sob.

'What's wrong Maya.'

'She's just so amazing. She's you and Riley, she's my two favourite people bundled up into one person. She's so raw, she has her whole life ahead of her. The whole world is out there for her, she's going to have a life that I wanted. Two loving parents
who will protect her, a family that extends to more than blood, for her whole life. People who care, people to protect her, people to guide her through life. She has hope and for the first in my life, so do I, I have hope for her.' Maya cried as she
snuggled the baby closet into her, holding on for dear life.

'Life will treat you good Maya. I can't wait for you to spend it with us'

'And I can't wait to spend it with you either Maya.'

'Is life looking good for us ranger rick?'

'Seems like it is Maya.'

'You want to go get the others before Riley gets back.' I ask as my baby gets taken for its bath.

'I'll race ya.'

'Oh My god baby Friar is born. I ISIAH AM THAT CHILDS UNCLE ZAY. I WILL MAKE THEIR LIFE GREAT,' Zay announces as we walk into the waiting room, I stifle a laugh and push it off to the side.

'Baby girl Matthews-Friar born at 8:45am. 6 pound 4 ounces. Very healthy.' I splurge not being able to hold it in much longer. The smile evident on my face.

'Name.' Cory asked from across the room, I look at him and see the tears streaming down his still young face. This man had become like a father to me and I couldn't be more grateful for it.

'Well let's go down and meet her and we'll see.' I exude as everyone tramples down the hall, I went to go after them but I'm quickly stopped by someone grabbing my hand.

'Lucas look. We've been stupid, we are so sorry. Your mother and I were just so scared for you. We Hope you and Riley can forgive us, and we don't want you to take over the family business anymore, do what you want to do. If you need us we will be there.'
My dad says pulling me into a hug.

'Of course I forgive you. We will talk later though, let's go see your granddaughter.'

We all ran down the hall quickly and I was thankful to see Riley sitting on the chair with our girl.

'So what's the name.' Farkle pants, anticipating the excitement yet to come.

'Her name is, Paige Maya Logan friar. Maya after Maya, Logan after Lucas' sister and Paige because she is a new page in our lives. A scary and unexpected one but a page none the less, a new page in our journey and we couldn't be happier.' Riley and I
announced together, everyone hummed in approval and we all had a big group hug.

'Thunder' Maya yelled putting her hand up next to Riley.
'Lightening' Riley yelled back her hand joint Maya's.

'Forever.'
