Be My Baby
Hello, my fellow readers. It is I, the great James Stryker bringing you another chapter of Be My Baby. Well, only two days left till Thanksgiving and only three days left till Disney Channel's Fa-La-La-Lidays starts. Are you excited? Plus, there's only ten days left till Girl Meets the New Year airs. I bet you're all excited to see the episode and hoping for Rucas to get together. After watching the promo again, I wanted to punch Farkle in the face for blurting out Riley's secret, but thank him for doing the right thing. LOL. Anyway, it's update time and I bet you've been waiting for a new chapter for days. Sorry for the wait. After this chapter, I'll be taking a break from writing this story for a couple of days and I'll get back to writing this story on December 1st. This chapter takes place after Riley and Lucas' honeymoon in Hawaii. So here it is, chapter thirty-five of Be My Baby. Enjoy.
Chapter Thirty-Five
Santa Brawl
"Okay, you three. Now if you can just look at the camera so I can take your picture." Mr. Loekle said as Riley and Lucas look into the camera while Juliet is looking the other way. Mr. Loekle picks up a teddy bear and holds it in his hand so Juliet could look at it. Maya walks over to the photographer and stood next to while trying to watch him getting Juliet's attention.
"Do you want me to be in the picture with them?" Maya asked.
"Do you have any kids?" Mr. Loekle asked.
"No, Mr. Loekle. I don't have kids. In fact, that's my goddaughter…" Maya said.
"Well, when you get married and have kids, then I'll take your picture and until then butt out." Mr. Loekle said.
"Show-off." Maya muttered and crossed her arms.
"Okay, precious. Just look at the bear. Come on, look at the bear." Mr. Loekle said as Juliet doesn't look at the bear.
"Julie. Jules, look at your godmother. Look at your godmother." Maya said as she smiles at Juliet. Juliet looks at her godmother and smiles at her.
"Great job, Maya. You can be a better photographer than him. You can get Juliet's attention. Riley said.
"Well, she loves her godmother." Maya said. Mr. Loekle rolls his eyes at Maya and takes the photo of Riley, Lucas and Juliet.
"There you go. Your photos will be ready in about a couple of days." Mr. Loekle said.
"Okay, thank you." Lucas said as Riley puts Juliet in the stroller and pushes her while walking around the store with her.
"Have a good day." Maya smiles at Mr. Loekle and leaves with them.
"Bitch." Mr. Loekle muttered under his breath. After getting their family photos taken, Riley and Maya are in JcPenney doing some Christmas shopping, looking for some gifts for Josh and Lucas while Lucas is at Toys R' Us looking for some toys for Juliet.
"Maya, which sweater do you think Lucas will love? This one or this one with the moose on it?" Riley asked holding up a white and blue sweater in one hand, and in the other a grey sweater with a moose printed on it.
"Riles, do you think that Lucas would wear a sweater with a moose on it? Are you thinking of giving it to him for Christmas?" Maya asked.
"Probably. It looks adorable." Riley said.
"People would laugh at him for how ridiculous he looks wearing that sweater. What if he's out with Zay and Farkle and they notice him wearing that sweater? They'll laugh." Maya said. "And if I see him wearing that, I'll laugh at him too."
"You always laugh at him." Riley said.
"I know. It's my job to make fun of Ranger Rick." Maya smiles.
"Juliet, do you think that daddy will like the sweater with the moose on it?" Riley asked as Juliet smiles at her mother.
"See? Juliet likes it. She knows that her daddy will love the sweater because a good wife gives her husband something adorable." Riley said. "I'll also give him the white and blue sweater too, in case he doesn't like the sweater with the moose on it."
"Prepare for me to start laughing at him on Christmas." Maya said while she looks for something for Josh. The blonde sees an Old Spice deodorant and cologne gift set and picks it up as the two made their way over to the cashier to pay for their things and left the store, walking down the mall to find Santa's workshop so Juliet can see Santa.
"So, what's Josh going to give you for Christmas?" Riley asked.
"Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe he could give me something from Victoria's Secret." Maya said.
"Maya!" Riley's eyes widened in surprise.
"What? Maybe Lucas is planning on giving you some seductive lingerie for Christmas. Maybe a black lace teddy or a red lace teddy for you two to spice up your sex life. Or he could buy a sex toy from Spencer's." Maya said.
"Lucas would never buy that for me. I'm a good girl. If he wants to give me lingerie for Christmas, then I'll be fine with it. But not a sex toy." Riley said. Juliet made some baby noises as she sees Santa sitting on a red chair with giant candy canes, gingerbread men and a train moving around the track. Lucas meets Riley, Maya and Juliet at their location and stood in line with them.
"Hey, princess." Lucas kisses Riley on her cheek.
"Hey." Riley smiles.
"Hey there, Huckleberry. Did you buy a gift for your wife?" Maya asked.
"I did and I'm not telling you. I also went to Gamestop and bought something for Zay. The new Battlefield Hardline 3 game on the PS4." Lucas said. Maya grins at Lucas and turns around to see a teenage boy who's 17-years-old wearing a coat, scarf and goggles, looking like the kid in goggles from A Christmas Story, looking at her and staring at her.
"I like Santa." The teenage boy in goggles said.
"Yeah." Maya said as she tries to slowly move away from Goggles. "Riles. Riles, may I borrow Lucas so he can pretend to be my boyfriend?"
"What? Why?" Riley asked.
"Because I don't want Goggles trying to hit on me." Maya said. As they move down the line, a bunch of carolers started singing Twelve Days of Christmas, which annoyed Maya a whole lot. "Oh, no. Not that song."
"What's the matter with it?" Lucas asked.
"It's an annoying song and I'm sick of hearing it over and over and over again…handsome." Maya winks at Lucas.
"Maya, what are you doing?" Lucas asked.
"Oh, nothing. Just being affectionate with you. Just play along, Moral Compass. I don't want Goggles trying to hit on me." Maya whispered.
"Can't you just tell him that you're dating somebody?" Lucas asked.
"Because he's weird-looking." Maya said. Then, a couple of people were dressed as the characters from The Wizard of Oz were walking down the mall. A woman was dressed as the Wicked Witch, one man was dressed as the Cowardly Lion and another man was dressed as the Tin Man.
"I'll get you, my pretty." The Wicked Witch said.
"Don't bother me. I'm thinking." Maya said as the Wicked Witch walks away from her.
"I like the Tin Man." Goggles said as Maya turns to Lucas.
"Help me." Maya whispered
"If McCracken wants me to work past nine, he can kiss my ass." The man dressed as Santa said to the head elf as he got back into character. Riley began to notice that there was something strange about Santa.
"Lucas, I'm not sure about Juliet sitting on Santa's lap." Riley said.
"What makes you say that?" Lucas asked.
"I don't know. I just have that funny feeling." Riley said.
"Riles, relax. Juliet will be fine. There's nothing to worry about." Maya said as she picks up Juliet and hands her over to Riley. Riley walks over to Santa and sits Juliet on his lap.
"Ho, ho, ho. And what's your little girl's name?" Santa asked.
"Her name is Juliet." Riley said.
"Why hello there, Juliet. What would you like for Christmas?" Santa asked. Juliet looks at Santa and started crying. "Oh, God. Will you get this crying brat off of me?!"
"Hey! Don't you dare call my daughter a little brat." Riley grabs Juliet.
"She had no right hollering, you dumb bitch!" Santa exclaimed. Lucas began to notice the man dressed as Santa yelling at Riley and Juliet.
"Uh-oh. Lucas, don't make a scene. Don't make a scene!" Maya exclaimed trying to stop Lucas from turning into "Texas Lucas". Lucas and Maya walk over to Riley and Santa to stop them from arguing.
"Riley, are you okay?" Lucas asked.
"No, Santa was being rude to Juliet." Riley said as Juliet continues to cry. Maya and Riley walk away with Juliet in Riley's arms while Lucas has a little chat with Santa.
"Buddy, what is wrong with you? You have no right yelling at a six-month-old baby." Lucas said.
"Don't tell me how to do my job, Huckleberry." Santa said. Lucas began to notice a strong odor on the man's breath. It smelled like he had a couple of glasses of whiskey.
"Sir, have you been drinking?" Lucas asked.
"It's none of your business what I had to drink." Santa said.
"You shouldn't drink while working with little children, you boozehound." Lucas said as Santa shoves him. "You shouldn't have done that."
"Oh, yeah. And why's that?" Santa asked.
"Because back in Texas, I've been kicked out of school for getting into a couple of fights. I don't want my daughter and the children to see the violent side of me. I'm as strong as a horse and we can just start takin' shot at each other. In the end, you're gonna be the one who's on the floor." Lucas threatens Santa.
"Oooooh!" Maya exclaimed.
"Oh, no. Lucas, don't get into a fight with Santa. Just walk away." Riley said.
"Don't worry, Riley. Santa and I are talking things out." Lucas said. Santa turns Lucas around to face him and punches him in the face. Riley and Maya gasped in shock from seeing Santa punching Lucas. Lucas charges at Santa and tackles him on the ground and started fighting him with the little kids cheering at Lucas. The man dressed as the head elf and a couple of employees dressed as elves jump in to help out Santa and started beating up on Lucas. Lucas picks up a giant plastic candy cane and starts swinging it at them.
"Alright! Who wants to get their holly jolly asses kicked?" Lucas asked as the elves started tackling him to the ground and start beating him with plastic candy canes.
"Oh, my God. Lucas!" Riley exclaimed.
"Riles, Juliet shouldn't see this. You go take her to the car and I'll go get….oh, crap!" Maya sees Goggles trying to walk over to her direction. Maya runs away and pushes the elves off of Lucas and swings the plastic candy cane at them.
"HEY, STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN!" Maya yells. The blonde beauty leans down and kisses Lucas passionately on the lips while Riley watches in shock.
"Maya, you're kissing my husband!" Riley exclaimed. Maya breaks the kiss and gazes into Lucas' emerald eyes.
"You're not my boyfriend! Okay. Santa, you and your elves go back to work kicking his ass." Maya said as she walks away from Lucas.
"Maya! Help!" Lucas hollered as Santa and his workers beat him up.
And that was chapter thirty-five of Be My Baby. I hope that you liked the hilarious chapter and that little Lucaya moment. Here's some trivia about the chapter, the teenage boy in the goggles is a reference to the weird kid in goggles from my favorite Christmas movie, A Christmas Story. Next time, Riley talks to Lucas about his brawl with Santa and Maya about her kissing Lucas. How will Cory and Topanga react to the news about the fight? Question of the day: Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? Me, I watch some Thanksgiving episodes from my favorite television shows like Good Luck Charlie, Roseanne, Home Improvement, According to Jim, Cheers and The Simpsons, go over to my relative's for Thanksgiving dinner and end the night at home watching my two favorite Thanksgiving movies from writer/director/producer John Hughes, the classic Steve Martin/John Candy comedy Planes, Trains and Automobiles and the 1991 film Dutch, which was written by Hughes and starring Ed O'Neill, who you might know him from ABC's Modern Family. I know him as Al Bundy from Married…With Children because I grew up watching that show. Every time when I watch the movie Dutch, I make a joke about the ending where Dutch is about to shoot his girlfriend's son with a b-b gun saying that Ed O'Neill's character is a Rucas fan and his girlfriend's son is a Lucaya fan and this is what he does to Lucaya fans. If you get a chance, check out the movies Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Dutch, they're both pretty good. Plus, Boy Meets World's very own Matthew Lawrence is on Planes, Trains and Automobiles, he plays the adorable 5-year-old son of Steve Martin's character named Little Neal. Don't forget to review this story (No rude comments, please be nice) and I'll see you next time for chapter thirty-six after my six-day break. Till next time my fellow readers.
