Chapter 12

"Is someone pregnant?" Lucas repeated when he realized that none of the girls were answering him.

"Where did you find that?" Riley asked, completely stunned.

"It was in the garbage can," Lucas said.

"You went through the garbage?" Maya asked, raising an eyebrow and trying to diffuse some of the tension in the room.

"It was sticking out and kind of noticeable," Lucas explained and then shook his head.

"Oh," Smackle mumbled.

"Is someone pregnant?" Lucas asked again. He was once again greeted with silence and looked over at his girlfriend, who was avoiding eye contact with him. "Riley? Is it yours? Are you pregnant?"

"Lucas," Riley whispered.

"It's mine," Claire suddenly said. All eyes shifted in the direction of Zay's girlfriend and Lucas felt his arm drop to his side.

"Does Zay know?" Lucas asked.

"Not yet," Claire shook her head. "I haven't told him anything yet."

"Are you going to tell him?" Lucas asked, running his hand over his head.

"Of course I am," Claire nodded. "You can't tell him though."

"What?" Lucas asked, eyes wide in surprise.

"You can't say anything to him. You have to let me do it," Claire said.

"He's my best friend, Claire. I have never kept a secret like this from him before," Lucas protested.

"Lucas please," Claire pleaded.

"Okay," Lucas relented. He placed the box on the desk and then scratched the back of his neck. "I should get going. Let you have girl time."

"I'll walk you out," Riley said before standing up and walking towards the door with her boyfriend.

"I don't feel comfortable lying to Zay," Lucas said when the two were outside alone. Riley rested against the wall and crossed her arms over her stomach.

"I know," Riley whispered. "I don't think you're technically lying though. If he asks and you don't tell him then that's a lie."

"Riley," Lucas shot her a look and she winced.

"I know I'm sorry," Riley sighed.

"Is she pregnant?" Lucas quietly asked.

"She hasn't taken it yet," Riley said.

"Then why was it in the garbage?" Lucas asked.

"She tossed it because she wasn't sure she was ready," Riley explained. "We are trying to convince her to take it."

"I just can't believe Claire might be pregnant," Lucas said.

"I know," Riley nodded.

"I should get going," Lucas said. "I am going to meet up with some friends for lunch."

"I'll see you later?" Riley asked.

"Sure," Lucas nodded.

"I love you," Riley smiled. Lucas leaned forward and kissed his girlfriend.

"Love you too," Lucas said before kissing her once more and then leaving. Riley watched him go and felt her chest tighten. This was not going to end well.

"Is there something you want to tell me?" Zay asked as soon as his girlfriend answered the phone.

"Lucas told you?" Claire asked, letting out a long sigh.

"He had no choice," Zay said. "I could tell something was wrong the minute he picked up the phone."

"Are you mad at me?" Claire asked.

"Are you pregnant?" Zay retorted.

"Zay," Claire whispered.

"Are you?" Zay repeated. "Because I know that we are always safe but now you are taking pregnancy tests so I guess we weren't as careful as I thought."

"It wasn't mine," Claire admitted.

"What do you mean?" Zay asked, surprise filling his voice.

"It wasn't my pregnancy test," Claire elaborated. "I was covering for one of the girls."

"Well whose was it?" Zay asked.

"I promised I wouldn't say," Claire said. "Please don't make me betray them."

"I won't force you to tell me," Zay promised. "Is it wrong I'm relieved?"

"Not at all," Claire insisted. "I'm sorry for the stress."

"I love you Claire," Zay said.

"I love you too," Claire promised.

"Was Zay really mad?" Maya asked, grabbing one of Riley's pillows and holding it close to her chest.

"No," Claire shook her head. "I think he was more relieved."

"Are you mad at Lucas for telling him?" Riley asked.

"No," Claire chuckled. "I knew he was going to breakdown and tell him. That's like telling you not to tell Maya a secret. It lasts for maybe ten minutes before you cave and tell her."

"I can keep a secret!" Riley protested.

"You can keep a secret from me?" Maya asked, raising an eyebrow at her best friend.

"Yeah I don't think you have ever kept a secret from Maya before," Smackle agreed. "You always cave."

"Oh whatever," Riley rolled her eyes and laughed. She knew that her friends were right. There were two people in this world that she really had a hard time keeping secrets from and they were Lucas and Maya. "Are you guys taking early trains tomorrow?"

"Noon," Claire said. "We figured that we would have breakfast here with you and then head back to school."

"I'm really sad that you guys are leaving. This weekend went by too fast," Riley sighed.

"I can't wait for the day that we are all living in the same city again," Smackle agreed.

"Soon we are going to have to make weekend trips to get ready for your wedding," Maya smiled at Smackle.

"Are you excited about getting married?" Claire asked.

"I am," Smackle nodded with a smile. "I thought for sure that I would be freaking out or figuring out a way to get out of it but I am so ready to be Farkle's wife. I feel like I was born to be his wife."

"He's your soulmate," Riley smiled.

"You know what's kind of crazy?" Maya asked, a chuckle escaping her.

"What?" Claire asked.

"We all met the guys we want to be with for the rest of our lives in middle school and high school. None of us had to go to college to meet the love of our life," Maya smiled. She felt like she had known Josh her entire life and she wanted to spend the rest of her life loving him.

"That is kind of crazy," Riley agreed. She smiled as she thought about Lucas and how she had no doubt in her mind that he was the one for her.

"But so romantic," Claire smiled as she thought of her boyfriend. She knew that they were still early in their relationship but she had a really good feeling about him and their future.

"I'd say we are really lucky," Smackle said with a wide smile. She twirled her engagement ring around her finger and bit her lip. She was going to marry the best man in the world and her best friend.

"I'd say we are really lucky to have each other too," Riley said. "You guys are the best friends a girl could ever ask for."

"Best friends forever," Smackle smiled at her friends. Claire and Maya murmured in agreement and the four of them held hands and smiled at each other. They were more than just best friends, they were sisters. They would always support each other and help each other through the toughest of days. They had a bond that could never be broken.

"I can't believe that you guys are leaving already," Riley sighed as she stood at the train station with her friends.

"We will be together soon enough for Thanksgiving," Maya said.

"Thank you for having us," Claire smiled at Riley.

"Yeah," Smackle smiled. "It was so much fun. A much needed break."

"You guys are welcome back any time," Riley insisted.

"I love you Riles," Maya wrapped her arms around her best friend and held her tight. "I will call you as soon as I get back to school."

"I love you too Peaches," Riley smiled and squeezed her once more before pulling back.

"Don't study too hard," Smackle smirked as she moved in to hug Riley. Riley laughed because that was what she always said to Smackle.

"I could say the same thing," Riley laughed and then pulled back.

"I'll miss you," Claire said before stepping forward and hugging Riley.

"I'll miss you too," Riley whispered and then stepped back to smile softly at Claire. "And thank you for covering for me with Lucas."

"Tell him the truth," Claire insisted and then reached out to squeeze her hand. "He will be supportive."

"She's right, Riles. Lucas loves you and will be there for you no matter what," Maya squeezed her other hand.

"Plus you have us no matter what that test says," Smackle said as she wrapped an arm around Riley's shoulders. Riley smiled at her friends and then pulled them all in for a group hug.

"I love you guys," Riley whispered. They shared one more hug before the three girls headed off towards the train. Riley brushed away a tear as she watched them walk away. Without even realizing it, she rested her hand on her flat stomach. Was she pregnant?

"Hey," Lucas smiled when he noticed his girlfriend walk into his dorm room.

"Hey," Riley greeted before dropping down onto his bed and letting out a sigh.

"Did everyone leave?" Lucas asked, walking over to sit on the bed with her.

"Yeah," Riley nodded.

"Are you mad at me for telling Zay about Claire?" Lucas asked, lifting her legs up and resting them in his lap.

"No," Riley shook her head and smiled. "I think it's sweet how open you are with your best friend. It wasn't fair to ask you to lie to him."

"Zay said she's not pregnant," Lucas said. "That must be a relief for her."

"Yeah," Riley quietly laughed and then looked down at her hands.

"Hey," Lucas poked her leg and she looked up at him. "Are you okay?"

"I have to tell you something," Riley whispered.

"Is everything okay?" Lucas asked, scrunching his eyebrows together.

"It wasn't Claire's pregnancy test," Riley admitted.

"What?" Lucas asked. "Whose test was it then?"

"Lucas," Riley whispered.

"It was yours," Lucas whispered because he instantly knew the answer from the look on her face and the tone of her voice.

"I was going to tell you," Riley promised.

"Are you pregnant?" Lucas asked.

"I don't know," Riley shook her head. "I chickened out and couldn't take it."

"Well we should find out, shouldn't we?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah," Riley nodded and then reached over for her purse and pulled the box out. "I thought we could take it together."

"I love you," Lucas whispered. "I'll be here for you, no matter what."

Over the next half hour the two read the instructions together and made sure they were both ready to take the test. Riley took the three tests in the bathroom and then walked back to sit with Lucas. They sat on the edge of the bed together, in silence, as they waited for the results. Both of their minds were racing and they were terrified by the results of the pregnancy tests. Lucas reached out and grabbed her hand, giving it a comforting squeeze. She rested her head on his shoulder and they waited.

"It's been three minutes," Lucas whispered.

"Can you come in with me?" Riley asked.

"Of course," Lucas nodded. The two slowly stood up and moved towards the bathroom. They stood at the sink and shared a look before Riley reached for one of the tests. She looked at Lucas once more before looking at the test.

"It's negative," Riley whispered. She looked at the other two and they were both negative as well. She looked at Lucas and then burst into tears. He pulled her close and kissed the top of her head. He held her while she cried. The test may have said negative but they both knew that they would be dealing with this for a while. They knew the side effects were going to linger and they would be dealing with the fall out. Riley still needed to go to the clinic to find out what was going on and why she was so late. The tests said negative but she needed it confirmed. She needed a doctor to tell her for sure.
