Chapter 20
"How much stuff do you have?" Maya raised an eyebrow as she watched her boyfriend drop another box.
"It's not that much," Josh insisted. He looked around at all of the boxes and suitcases surrounding the living room and shrugged. So maybe he had a few more things than he originally thought.
"Maybe we should've gotten a bigger apartment," Maya said.
"Oh stop," Josh shook his head and laughed. Then he smiled because it was their apartment. The two of them had moved into their own apartment together with their son. "Hey Maya."
"Yeah?" Maya asked. She turned around from where she was looking through one of his boxes and raised an eyebrow at her boyfriend. He was smiling at her and seemed to be staring at her intently.
"We did it," Josh said. He saw the confusion flash across her face.
"Did what?" Maya scrunched her eyebrows together.
"Look around," Josh gestured around the living room. He could still see the confused look on her face so he smirked slightly at her. "We made it, babe. We are officially home owners together. We have moved into our own place with our own son."
"Our own place," Maya smiled wide.
The phrase sent a warmth to her heart. The two of them were now living in their own place together. They would fall asleep together every night and wake up to each other every morning. They would cook breakfast together in the morning with their son and then send him off to school as a couple. The two would come home from work with Aaron and enjoy a night as a family. They were doing life together now and it didn't get much better than that.
It was about two weeks after Riley and Lucas's wedding that Josh suggested the idea. He had been staying at her apartment every night anyway and it just felt like the right move for the two of them. The two knew that it was going to happen eventually, so why not now? Aaron was completely on board with the idea. He loved that he would be living with both his mom and his dad. It felt like the right thing to do and now they were excited about starting this next chapter as a family.
"Are you scared?" Josh asked, walking over and wrapping his arms around her shoulders. She leaned her back against his chest and shook her head. He knew that she was always worried about major commitments and he was worried this would scare her.
"Not at all," Maya said. She twisted her neck to look up at him. "Everything about us living together and being a family feels right. It doesn't scare me at all. It's the most exciting thing I've done in a while."
"I love you," Josh said as he looked deep into her eyes.
"I love you more," Maya whispered.
"Not possible," Josh shook his head. She twirled around his arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Oh but it is," Maya nodded. He just smirked and then leaned down to kiss the beautiful blonde in his arms. She smiled slightly and then pulled him closer. This was going to be great. Living together was going to be perfect.

"That is not enough cheese!" Aaron insisted.
"What are you talking about?" Josh asked. He looked down at the pizza and then back at his son. "I used almost the whole second bag."
"You have to use all of it," Aaron said. "That way it is extra cheesy."
"That's a lot of cheese!" Josh exclaimed.
"But it makes for delicious pizza," Aaron said.
"Any thoughts on this?" Josh asked, turning to face Maya.
"I agree with Aaron," Maya said. "Extra cheese is the best way to go."
"Told you!" Aaron pumped his fist up in the air. Josh laughed at his son but did what he asked.
"Where's the pepperoni?" Maya asked, looking around the counter for it.
"Right here," Aaron handed her the bag. She quickly opened it and then started to spread pieces of pepperoni out all around the pizza.
"What else should we put on it?" Maya asked.
"Bacon!" Aaron exclaimed.
"We didn't cook any bacon though," Josh said.
"Can we cook bacon?" Aaron asked. "I want bacon!"
"Do you ever stop eating, buddy?" Maya raised an eyebrow at her son. She swore that he would eat just about anything if they let him.
"I am a growing boy!" Aaron insisted.
"What?" Maya laughed. "Where did you hear that from?"
"Daddy told me that," Aaron pointed to Josh. Maya turned to face her boyfriend, an amused look on her face.
"I wanted him to eat his broccoli," Josh shrugged.
"But I don't like broccoli," Aaron scrunched up his nose in disgust. "I like bacon."
"And anything else greasy," Maya nodded. "Just like your dad."
"Hey!" Josh exclaimed. Maya just smirked at him because they both knew that it was true.
"How long is this going to take to cook?" Aaron asked.
"About fifteen minutes," Josh said.
"But I'm soooo hungry," Aaron whined. He watched as his dad slid the pizza into the oven and his mom started to clean up the counter.
"I think you can wait fifteen minutes buddy," Maya said.
"Why don't you go pick the movie?" Josh suggested.
"Okay!" Aaron jumped down from his chair and rushed off towards the living room.
"He is just like you," Josh smirked.
"What do you mean?" Maya raised an eyebrow at him.
"Whenever you are hungry, you get so whiny. I don't know how many times I used to wonder if you were mad at me because you were actually mad or because you were hungry," Josh explained.
"Oh whatever," Maya tossed a kitchen towel at him and playfully rolled her eyes.
"Well I know now when you are hungry," Josh teased.
"And you know to feed me right away," Maya smirked.
"After years together I have finally learned," Josh laughed. She took a step closer and smiled up at him, as he leaned down to kiss her. The moment was short lived when they heard a loud "Ew!" coming from the doorway of the kitchen. They both looked over and saw Aaron sticking his tongue out at them.
"Gross," Aaron shook his head.
"Did you need something?" Maya asked, an amused smile on her face.
"Is the pizza ready?" Aaron asked, shrugging his shoulders innocently. Maya and Josh both shook their heads and laughter filled the kitchen.

"I think he fell asleep," Maya whispered. She looked down and saw her son's head resting in her lap. His chest was rising and falling at a steady rhythm. It was a sign that he was completely asleep.
"He is," Josh confirmed after getting a good look at his son. "How do you want to take him to bed?"
"Can you pick him up for me? I think if I try it will wake up him," Maya explained.
"Of course," Josh nodded. He stood up from the couch and gently lifted his son into his arms. Aaron stirred slightly but then rested his head on his dad's shoulder, falling right back to sleep. Maya turned off the TV as Josh carried Aaron off to bed. She turned off the lamp in the living room and then followed the two of them. She saw Josh resting Aaron down on his bed and pulling the covers up over him.
"Daddy?" Aaron mumbled. Josh knelt down by his bed and rested a hand on top of his son's head.
"Yeah buddy?" Josh asked.
"I'm glad we live together," Aaron said sleepily. Maya and Josh both smiled at his words and she walked over to kneel next to Josh.
"I am too," Josh said.
"Are you happy momma?" Aaron asked, looking over at his mom.
"I'm very happy buddy," Maya nodded.
"I love you both," Aaron yawned.
"We love you too," Josh said. He leaned forward and placed a kiss on his son's head. Then he moved back so that Maya could do the same. The two knelt there for a second as Aaron fell into a comfortable sleep.
"He's so big," Maya whispered.
"But perfect," Josh insisted. He wrapped an arm around Maya's shoulders and she rested her head on his shoulder as they watched their son sleep. Everything about this moment was perfect.

"How's married life?" Maya asked, smiling at her best friend and new husband. The two looked completely in love and like they couldn't get enough of each other. They had the newlywed glow.
"It's good," Riley smiled wide and then leaned into Lucas's side.
"I didn't think it was possible," Zay shook his head as he looked at the married couple.
"What?" Lucas narrowed his eyes at his best friend.
"You two are even grosser than before," Zay said.
"Oh whatever," Riley shook her head and laughed. "Just wait until you are in our position."
"I've got time," Zay insisted. He and Haley shared a sweet smile. A smile that said they knew it would happen but they were enjoying their relationship how it was now.
"How is living together?" Farkle asked Maya and Josh.
"It's amazing," Maya said and the smile on her face was absolutely contagious. It was one all of her friends loved seeing.
"Has Aaron adjusted to all three of you being in one house?" Smackle asked.
"He has," Josh nodded. "We were worried at first that it would be weird for him but he absolutely loves it. I swear he's always smiling."
"Are we going to be celebrating a Maya and Josh wedding soon?" Zay smirked.
"No," Maya shook her head and laughed. "The two of us are enjoying where we are right now. There is no need to rush anything."
"What about a Smackle and Farkle wedding?" Josh raised an eyebrow at the two of them.
"Who knows," Farkle shrugged.
"Is there something you want to tell us?" Lucas asked.
"No," Smackle chuckled. "We've just talked about it and it's something we both want. We're not really sure when we want to do it but it's in the future."
"Look at us," Riley shook her head and smiled. "We are sitting here talking about our children and marriages and living together."
"Time really has flown by," Smackle nodded.
"But in the best way possible," Zay insisted.
"And this group is closer than ever," Maya smiled as she looked around at all of her best friends. They were her family. No matter where she went in life or what happened to her, she would always have them. She would always have the people she loved to no end.

"I love it up here," Maya said as she looked over New York City.
"I love that we always manage to find an apartment building with a roof," Josh laughed.
"It's fate," Maya shrugged.
"Just like us being together," Josh said.
"Yeah," Maya nodded. "Just like us."
"Are you okay?" Josh asked. For the last few days he noticed that something was off with her and that she seemed to be trying to comprehend something. She had an off look on her face and always looked a million miles away.
"Yeah," Maya said.
"Maya," Josh raised an eyebrow and took a step closer to her. He reached out and cupped her cheek in his hand.
"I have to tell you something," Maya bit her lip.
"What is it?" Josh asked.
"I'm pregnant," Maya said, a small smile forming on her face. She watched his face for a reaction and for a few seconds he just stood there comprehending her words. He seemed to be in shock and it was worrying her. "Josh?"
"We're pregnant?" Josh asked.
"We're pregnant," Maya nodded. He stepped forward and scooped her into his arms, twirling her around. She giggled and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, holding him close. He placed her on the ground and when he did, she could see the tears in his eyes.
"I'm going to be there for it all this time," Josh promised. "I am going to be there for you and our baby every step of the way."
"I know you are," Maya said.
"We're having a baby," Josh whispered. He took another step closer to her and cupped her face in his hands, crashing his lips against her own. She wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him closer, relishing the feel of his lips against her own. This was the start of a new beginning for them. This was the start of something beautiful for them and their family.
"I love you Josh," Maya whispered against his lips.
"I love you too. So much," Josh said. He pulled back and looked into her eyes before repeating. "We're having a baby."
"We're having a baby," Maya nodded and then smiled when he rested a hand on her flat stomach. They had Aaron, they were having a baby and they finally had their someday.
