Maya could fall asleep anywhere but she was a light sleeper.

So when she heard the window slide open she shot straight up.

A woman with turquoise hair was climbing in.

She was dressed like a total rock star.

She looked at Maya and grinned.

"Sup. You must be Maya." She greeted.

"There's like twenty people in this place right now. Might not be the place you want to rob." Maya said, staring at the woman.

The woman snorted.

"Please. Like any of the pussy ass men here could stop me. I'd be more afraid Topanga than Cory and Shawn." She said with a wave of her hand.

"Who are you?" Maya demanded.

The woman grinned.

"Morgan Stecchino at your service." She said with a bow.

"You're Morgan? You don't look anything like your pictures." She said, think of the picture that was on the Matthews' mantel.

"I get that all the time." Morgan said.

She walked over and plopped down between Riley and Maya.

She poked Riley.

"She dead?" Morgan asked.

"No. Just having Lucas dreams."

Morgan patted her head.

"Good girl." She said fondly.

"How are you related to Squirrels for Brains and Mr. Matthews? You are way too cool to be." Maya asked in awe.

This woman was who she wanted to be when she grew up.

"Fuck knows. Josh turned out pretty ok though." Morgan said.

She leaned her face next to Riley's and whispered something.

The girl shot up and looked around disorientated.

Her eyes landed on Morgan.

"Aunt Morgan!" She cried, tackling her.

"Sup Riley." The woman laughed.

"You dyed your hair again? Love it!" Riley said.

"Yeah the red was so last season." Morgan said, twirling her hair in her finger.

"Last season was bad for us." Riley said.

Maya nodded in agreement.

Morgan grinned devilishly.

"Well I'm here to spirt you girls away to dress and make up." She said.

"Are we sneaking through the window to Aunt Morgan?" Riley asked.

Morgan scoffed.

"Is there any other way to go?"

Maya shrugged.

"I don't know. I've never tried." She said before standing up and starting to get ready.

"Where are you going?" Riley asked.

"I need to talk to Shawn."

She marched into Cory and Shawn's room.

The two were sharing until after the wedding at Katy's suggestion.

"Get up!" She ordered.

Cory rolled off the bed but Shawn blinked awake like a normal person.

"Maya?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes.

"Why are you marrying my mom?" She demanded.

"What?"

"Why are you marrying my mom?" She repeated slowly.

"To get back at me." Cory said.

Shawn glared at him before motioning for Maya to seat next to him on the bed.

"Because I love her." Shawn said as if it were the most obvious answer in the world.

"Those are just words." Maya argued as she sat down.

"Yeah they are but I don't say those words a lot Maya. I wasn't even sure what those words meant. And now I do. They're the best words I got. They're important. I want you to understand them." Shawn said.

He took her hand.

"I already asked you for your blessing and you gave it." He said.

"Yes and that's why words aren't enough. I feel different. I'm scared." Maya said.

"Of what?" Shawn asked.

"Of why this has to happen at all. You like my mother, she likes you. Why does anything else have to happen?"

A look of understanding crossed Shawn's face.

"You and me are the same." He said.

"We are. Bad things happen to us. So what if life doesn't know this is happening yet. And what if life figures out we're involved. That's when something bad happens." Maya said.

"What if she's right?" Cory asked.

"She's wrong." Shawn said simply.

"Why?"

"Because I want her to be."

"Why mess things up by getting life involved with a big ceremony?" Maya asked.

"Because we want to invite life to this ceremony Maya. We want life to change us for the better."

Maya looked down.

"Promise me this will work." She whispered.

"No I can't do that. I can promise I want it to. Ask me why." Shawn said.

"Why?"

"Because I never want to let you down." He said firmly.

"But how do you know it's worth the risk?" Maya asked.

Shawn sucked in his lips.

"Imagine everything you feel about Josh."

Maya raised an eyebrow.

"I'm serious Maya." Shawn said.

Maya closed her eyes.

She felt the warmth and affection she always felt around him.

"No imagine it more. Bigger. Better." Shawn said.

"I can't imagine it being more." Maya said.

"It does Maya. It gets so much more. So much bigger. So much better." Cory said.

"Imagine it Maya."

She could.

She could see them older, wiser, more mature.

She could see them as them.

It made her giddy.

It made her want…

"Oh." She said softly.

"Imagine having all that with someone. What would it make you want?" Shawn asked.

"I'd want to show everyone how much I loved that person." Maya said.

"What do you think a wedding is Maya? A lot of people," Shawn looked at Cory, "will tell you that you have to plan out your future, and you do, but sometimes it's just as important keep the present in mind. I love your mom and I love you and I want us to be a family."

"Me too."

Maya reached into her pajama bottoms and pulled it out the folded up piece of paper she had had for days.

She handed is to Shawn.

He quickly unfolded it and his breath caught.

"Is this… Maya…"

The girl smiled softly, feeling her eyes well up.

"I already talked to mom about it. I hope it's ok." She said.

Shawn pulled her into his arms and she felt herself begin to shake as emotions over took her.

This was everything she ever dreamed of.

Shawn pulled away and wiped his eyes.

"Get me a pen!" He yelled at Cory, who rushed over with his favorite pen.

Shawn snatched it from him and quickly wrote his name before handing the paper to Cory, who signed it as the witness.

"Maya Penelope Hunter. Has a ring to it doesn't it?" Shawn said with a wet laugh.

Maya nodded in agreement before hugging Shawn again.

"I love you." She nearly sobbed.

"Love you too kiddo."

"Aww!" Riley cried from the door way before Morgan elbowed her.

"Not cool Ri." She said.

"I can't help it! Maya won't rub off on me!" Riley whined.

Morgan pated her head.

"The Cory genes are just too strong in this one." She sighed.

"When did you get in Morgan?" Cory asked.

"Couple hours ago. Made my way here and as much as I hate to break up the moment I have to kidnap the girls." Morgan said looping arms with Riley.

"Where is Hermy?" Shawn asked.

Morgan rolled her eyes.

"Herman is downstairs with Frankie and Joey." She said.

"Well, let us get dressed and we will meet you there ok." Shawn said.

The three left the room and ran into Josh and Farkle leaving their room.

It had been decided that Josh and Farkle would room together since they had known each other longer than either had known Lucas or Zay.

"Eww." Morgan sneered at Josh.

"Gross."

They laughed and embraced.

They continued downstairs, briefly greeting Frankie, Joey and Herman as they passed.

They arrived downstairs to see Katy, Topanga, Rachel and Angela hanging out in the living room.

"Morning!" Riley said as she kissed Topanga on the cheek.

"I see Morgan found you." Topanga said.

Morgan opened her mouth but was cut off by the door of the lodge bursting open.

Eric came strutting in.

"I am here!" He declared.

"Yeah." Morgan deadpanned.

"Weasel!" Eric said happily, pulling her into a hug.

He turned to Josh.

"My brother!"

"My brother!"

The two hugged.

"Now where is… Cory! Shawn!"

Cory and Shawn came down the stairs and were pulled into a hug by Eric.

"They act like they didn't see each other yesterday." Angela said.

"Actually it's been a while since all five of them were together." Topanga said.

"Oh look at them." Amy said from the top of the stairs with Alan.

"Our family together again." Alan agreed.

Jack came walking into the lodge, looking peeved.

"You left me to unload the car by myself! Why do I even put up with you?!" He raged.

"Because you love me?" Eric suggested.

"Me and my therapist are working on that." Jack said with a glare.

"At least he's admitted it." Shawn said with a grin.

The lodge doors opened again and John and Feeny walked in.

"I'm telling ya Feeny. We could do with a few new teachers in New York. We'd all like to get you closer." John said.

"Feeny! Fe-e-e-eny!" Eric called.

Feeny didn't look amused.

"Mr…. Senator Matthews don't you think you're a little more dignified than that." Feeny said.

Everyone gave him a look.

"You're right. I've obviously gone senile." The old man mumbled.

"Glad you could make it Mr. Feeny." Shawn said.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world Mr. Hunter." Feeny said.

Katy walked over.

"Mr. Feeny this is my fiancé Katy Hart. Katy this is Mr. Feeny. He's going to be officiating the wedding." Shawn said.

"It's very nice to meet you Mr. Feeny. Shawn speaks highly of you." Katy said with a smile.

"I can assure you that he does the same for you." Feeny said.

Katy blushed.

Just then Zay came rushing down the stairs, followed by Lucas and Smackle at a slower rate.

"Maya!" Zay hissed as he reached her.

"What is it Earl?" Maya asked.

"Joe Epstein is here!" He hissed.

"Yeah. He's an old friend of, well, everyone. He's even going to sing a few songs at the wedding." Maya said.

Zay look in awe.

"My life is complete now. I got a date with Vanessa AND I get to see Joe Epstein perform." He said dreamily.

Riley sat at the bay window.

"What is it Riley?" Lucas asked as he, Zay, Maya, Josh, Farkle and Smackle joined her at the bay window.

"It's just… they're us." She said.

Riley gestured to where Cory, Rachel, Jack, Shawn, Angela, Topanga and Eric were standing.

The group were laughing at something Cory was saying.

Lucas laughed softly.

"Yeah I guess they are."

Zay cleared his throat.

"How is it I have once again become the token black friend? First Texas and now here. That's kind of messed up." He said.

Angela seemingly heard him and walked over.

"Hey at least you aren't the token black friend in the 90's. Between that and dating a white guy I had to put up with so much bullshit." She said.

"Angela!" Topanga said, looking scandalized.

"What? I'm pregnant. I do what I want." The woman said.

"Of course dear." Angela's husband, William, cooed.

"Are pregnant woman always that scary? Topanga was never that scary." Shawn asked Cory.

"She was to me. And Eric but that's because he called her fat." Cory said.

Topanga glared at him and he let out a shriek.

"Thank god we don't have to do that." Shawn said to Katy.

The woman frowned.

"You don't want children?" She asked.

Shawn looked like someone hit him with a bat.

"You do?" He asked, bewildered.

"Maybe."

Shawn took Katy's hand and pulled her upstairs.

"Congratulations on getting a little sibling Maya. I hope they bite the face of your bear too." Smackle said.

Maya crinkled her nose at Smackle.

God was that the next step for them?

She wasn't sure if she was ready for all that.

Josh took her hand and squeezed, as if feeling her panic.

Maya felt the panic ebb away.

Maybe this would work out for them.

They could have a good life.

She just knew it.
