Cory and Topanga were excited to tell Riley and Auggie about the baby's gender. They sat and waited on the couch for them to arrive home so they could deliver the news.
"Hey." Riley said as she and Auggie walked through the apartment door.
"Hey guys, we found out the gender of the baby." Topanga's smile stretched from ear to ear.
"Oh my gosh, really?! What it?" Riley squealed as she sat on the couch with her parents.
"It's a… girl!" Cory answered.
"Yay! I'm so excited to have a little sister!" Riley was jumping up and down.
"I thought I asked you to make me a brother?" Auggie said.
"Did you two do something wrong while making the baby?" Auggie's arms were crossed.
Cory and Topanga chuckled a bit. "Honey mommy and daddy can't determine what gender the baby will be it's always a surprise." Topanga said.
"But daddy said he'd make me a brother, remember? He got all excited!"
Topanga smiled slyly. "Honey your daddy was excited for other reasons."
Cory's face turned and awkward shade of red. "Well I'm excited about it being a girl, we were almost outnumbered mom." Riley pointed out.
"Wait now we're outnumbered!" Cory said.
"Honey having more girls around the house will be great!"
Cory rolled his eyes as Topanga pecked his cheek. "Ok well I'm gonna go call Maya and tell her." Riley grabbed her backpack and headed out the room.
"So what did you two do that might have made the baby a girl?"
"Bubba, maybe we should wait until you're older to have that discussion." Cory said.
"Ugh you people still think I'm this many!" he held up 5 fingers. "But I'm this many!" he held up 6 fingers.
"Why don't you go and play in your room for a bit?" Topanga suggested.
"Ok but I'll be waiting to find out what you did wrong."
"He sure likes to ask questions, huh." Cory said circling his arm around her shoulder.
"I know." Topanga laughed.
"So Cory we need to start thinking about where the baby is going to sleep, and we need to buy car seats and bottles and-" Topanga began.
"Hold on there for a sec, the baby isn't due for 5 months."
"I know but you know how much I like to get things done and make sure everything is exactly perfectly right."
"I know honey."
"But the thing I'm most concerned about is the car situation." Topanga said.
Cory had a puzzled look on his face. "Car situation, what are you talking about?"
"Cory let's be real that tiny Lexus of yours isn't gonna fit our whole family anymore."
"Well what about your car?"
"Cory I think we should sell both our cars and buy one big SUV."
"Ok well what kind of SUV would you want?" Topanga sat back down on the couch and thought for a sec.
"Hmm, let's think about this for a second."
"Wait, why can't I ever pick out what kind of car we get?" Cory asked.
"Well I mean Cory; you know I make the decisions around here."
"But Topanga I never get to make any big decisions."
Topanga bit her bottom lip and turned towards Cory. "I have an idea, why don't we both find a car we want that's in our price range and then we'll show each other and see if we can come to a compromise!" Topanga suggested.
"Ok sounds like a plan. Now how about we go celebrate." Cory raised his eyebrows and Topanga playfully smacked his arm.
"Ok, but you have to catch me first." Topanga smiled and shot up from the couch.
"Oh mama." Cory exclaimed as he chased her out the room.
Riley was worried. Lucas hadn't returned her text from that morning or any of her calls. It made her think, was he cheating on her?
"What's up?" Maya said as she crawled through Riley's window.
"Nothin' much, my mom's having a girl!" Riley squealed.
"Sweet, now you have a little sister to boss around." Riley shook her head and rolled her eyes as she joined her blond best friend by the bay window.
"So did Sundance ever return your text?"
"No and he won't answer any of my calls or video chats."
"Riles I don't want to rain on your parade and I know everything is always good and wonderful in Riley town but do you get this feeling that Ranger Rick might be seeing someone else?"
Riley's mouth went dry and the room became extremely hot. "I dunno Lucas just doesn't seem like that kind of person. He said he loved me."
"Riley I just don't want him to hurt you and you not even see it coming."
Maya circled her arm around her best friend's shoulders. Riley laid her head on Maya's shoulder and sighed. "Maya, what should I do?"
"Well I think you should call him until he answers and I think you should talk about this."
"What if he's cheating on me?" Riley's eyes filled with tears.
"Then he's not worth it, if he feels like he has to see another girl to be happy then he's not worth it." Riley sniffled and sat in silence with Maya for a while.
Topanga was brushing out her long hair while Cory brushed his teeth. "Honey did you find your car?" Topanga said as she climbed onto the king sized bed.
"Yep! What about you?"
"Of course I did." Cory grabbed the MacBook off the dresser and climbed into bed with Topanga.
"Ok so my car I found is right here." Cory passed the laptop to Topanga. The room fell silent for a moment while she checked out his car.
Topanga began to laugh and Cory looked confused. "What are you laughing at?" Cory asked.
"Cory the car you picked out is hilarious."
"What do you mean?"
"Cory an explorer is not the car for us." Topanga said in between laughs.
"Well let's see the car you picked!" Topanga grabbed her phone off the night stand and handed it to Cory.
He began to snicker while Topanga bubbled with anger. "Topanga, a suburban oh my god we don't live in the suburbs!" Cory was laughing so hard he almost fell off the bed… by himself. Topanga helped him out there.
"Oww!" Cory said as he rose from the hard wood floor.
"That's what you get for laughing at me!"
"You laughed at me!" Cory fired back.
"I'm allowed to laugh at you!"
"A suburban is a way better fit for this family; it comes with navigation, heated leather seats and a TV."
"Well mine has 4 wheel drive, navigation, and heated seats. We're gonna need that 4 wheel drive for when it snows in New York."
Topanga rolled her eyes. "Just let me pick the car I want."
"No, you always get to pick. It's my turn now!"
Topanga sighed. "Why don't we sleep on this and in the morning ask the kids what they think."
"Ok they'll pick my car." Cory mumbled.
"No they'll pick mine." Topanga replied.
"You know you're kinda sexy when you're upset with me." Cory said.
Topanga smiled deviously and kissed her husband before drifting off to sleep.
Hey guys! So I thought Cory and Topanga's fight about the car was hilarious. Lucas and Riley will finally be able to talk next chapter so get excited for what's to happen.
Anyways I actually know a lot about cars because my dad's been a car salesman for like 30 years and stuff and my family's actually had a suburban before.
Sorry this chapter was shorter but I'm hoping to get the next one out later today! I'm actually updating my stories all at the same time so that's a first!
Remember to suggest baby names while reviewing it would help me out a lot.
Remember to review and tell me what you thought of the chapter and I'll talk to you later :)
