Life is not a fairytale by any means, but if we didn't have the many moments of crying or laughing there'd be no life story at all.

Riley set a couple coffees on a table and scurried back to the counter. Lately she'd been working at a daycare and at Topanga's for extra cash while also taking classes. Lucas came in to Topanga's a lot to see her and talk to the fetus which made her happy. He's been busier with work though so his visits have been shorter, but he's still worried about her doing so much.

Katy walked up to her sighing "Busy day today, will Lucas be appearing?"

"I'm not sure, he's got a pretty busy schedule today." Riley replied as she straightened things up around the counter.

"Oh well then can you help me with practicing for an audition coming up?" Katy said hopefully.

"Sure what kind of audition?" Riley smiled as she went to clean up some tables.

Katy followed her helping her out "Oh its awful, the drama. A guy from my past came into the café today and then my boyfriend came in and got the wrong idea."

"Whoa Katy hold on, what?" Riley gasped confusion clouding her face.

"Oh no, Riley I was acting there! Don't freak out there's no one other than Shawn." Katy panicked as she turned to Riley.

Riley laughed "I know Katy; I was acting along with you. Katy?"

Riley noticed Katy looking passed her toward the door. Turning she saw Evan standing there; Katy had only ever seen a picture of him from when her and the other went on the lodge trip in middle school. She heard all about it when they got back because Maya had to gossip about the whole staying up conversation thing Riley had done. In surprise and confusion Riley walked over to Evan.

"Hi Evan, don't my blatancy, but why are you here?" she asked as he sat at a table.

Evan smiled greeting her "I came here because I wanted to return a debit card with Lucas's name on it. He probably dropped it being you "Mr. Hero". He probably realized it was missing and already called to have it cancelled without telling you to not worry you, but to be safe I brought it here. Also you talked about this place a lot and I wanted to check it out so it was a win, win."

She took the card gratefully as she pulled out a small notebook "Anything you'd like to try while you're here?"

"Didn't you have something in honor of the old owner of this place?" he said thoughtfully.

Riley nodded and jotted it down retorting "You want a hot cocoa too?"

"You know me well." He laughed and she excused herself to get his order ready.

Katy smiled when she got to the counter "Evan came all the way here. You seem to attract boys like a magnet."

"No, I do not. He was returning Lucas's card that he lost." Riley sighed as she set up the cup of cocoa and food.

"Not what I think; by the way, great acting earlier you gave me a fright." Katy watched Riley in amusement.

Riley smirked retorting "I'm self-taught, it's good for parental negotiations and such. Maya actually did help a little though; she gets it from you and she can sing."

"Oh Riley, aren't you the sweetest thing. Anyways, so he has no other reason to be here?" Katy hugged Riley excitedly.

Riley laughed as she walked away with the tray of food "Nope, just to return Lucas's card."

Evan looked up at Riley as she returned to his table "Do you have some break time soon?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?" she set the food and cocoa down before him.

"Would you join me for a moment?" he asked as he began to eat.

"This is so good."

Riley glanced at Katy who gave her a thumbs up as she replied "Sure, what's wrong?"

"Well, you see I just got an offer for my dream job, but there's much I need to learn and it's not with our lodge. My mom wants me to stay there, I mean it's hard for me to go anyways because I grew up there, but this is my dream." Evan sighed as he took a sip of his cocoa.

"I'm unsure what to do."

Riley smiled and began talking to him, trying to reassure him to give himself time and just step back until he decides things in a clearer state. She sat down as they kept talking.

Lucas slipped into Topanga's, he had managed to get out of work a little early and wanted to surprise Riley. Looking around the quaint place he saw Katy notice him and then nod to a table. His eyes fell on the table she pointed out and saw Riley in a chair laughing as she talked across the table to none other than Evan. Annoyed he trudged over to the table catching Evan's eye. Evan smiled calmly at him and waved as he got closer to the table.

"Hi Evan, Riley, what's going on?" Lucas spoke up as Riley turned in surprise.

Happily, Riley got up and hugged him "Lucas, I didn't think you'd make it in today."

Evan watched the exchange and explained "I came here to return a card you dropped in the lodge. I had a lot going on so it took me awhile to get the chance to come here, but today I gave it to Riley. I only knew of this place where she mentioned everyone came so I figured I'd find one of you."

"I see my card, thanks." Lucas said briefly as Riley handed him the card "If that's all why did you stay?"

"Lucas, that's kind of rude!" Riley gasped at his bitter retort.

"He had an issue with a new job and his mom that he was telling me about."

Lucas pulled her close to him replying "Oh and he couldn't figure it out himself so he just chose you to talk to about it. Well, I came here to surprise you and take you home so you didn't have to walk, but I didn't expect him."

Riley looked up at him, Lucas was really jealous right now and she thought it was cute "I was surprised though, I was missing you a lot and so was the baby."

Evan nodded standing up "I'm glad to see the both of you are still faring well, and thanks Riley for the advice, but Lucas is right I should be off you two have a lovely evening. A pleasure seeing you again, Lucas."

Evan left his cash for the food and walked away before either one could say anything.

Lucas touched her stomach smiling "How are you and our baby doing?"

"We're good, but Lucas that wasn't very nice." Riley frowned, but soon a small smile tugged at her face.

"Though, you are cute when you're jealous."

"I'm sorry, but when it comes to you it's hard not to be, you're just so loveable any guy could swoop in to try and take you. Like I said before I really don't like Evan anyways." Lucas replied obviously not sorry.

She didn't care though she loved how protective and jealous he was.
