Juliet's World

Hello, my fellow readers. It is I, the great James Stryker bringing you another cute chapter of Juliet's World and it's a cute little Rucas chapter. Before you read this chapter, only eleven days left till Girl Meets World season three and we might get new season three episode stills and new promotional photos of the cast. I'm so excited. I bet it's the surprise that the GMWWriters were talking about on Twitter. Last time on Juliet's World, Riley turned 30 and she started freaking out about turning 30. Today, Riley talks to Lucas about her fear of aging. So here it is, chapter thirty-seven of Juliet's World. Enjoy.

Chapter Thirty-Seven

You're Old

(No One's P.O.V.)

Riley was in the bedroom, lying in bed crying her eyes out about what her own son said to her. Could it be possible that Riley is getting old? Lucas walked upstairs and knocked on the door to check on Riley. Lucas continued to knock on the door until Riley got up from off of the bed and walked over to the door to let him in.

"Oh, it's you. What, aren't you going to tell me that I'm old too?" Riley asked wiping the tears off of her face and walked over to the bay window and sat down.

"No, I'm not going to call you old. We need to talk. What is with you? Why did you break down crying on your own birthday? I never freaked out on my own birthday." Lucas said while walking over to Riley.

"Oh, yeah. The big 3-0. O-L-D. That's who I am. Oh, god! I'm turning into Rachel Green from Friends. Do you remember the episode of Friends called The One Where They All Turn Thirty? Where Rachel is depressed about aging and each of the friends' have a flashback about their depressing thirtieth birthdays." Riley said as she talked about the episode of Friends.

"Are you sure it didn't involve putting your best friend in the box?" Lucas asked referring to the time Riley kept Maya in a box after she kissed Lucas. Riley gives Lucas an evil death glare as he took a few steps back away from her. "Look, honey. Age is just a number. So what if you're turning 30? You're still the same beautiful young woman that I've met ever since you fell on my lap in the subway."

"Lucas, you don't understand. It's not about turning thirty. I'm excited about turning thirty. Look at me, I've started out as an innocent young girl, a teen mom at age 17 and yesterday I was a tough-as-nails lawyer and a mother of two at age 29. I'm 30 and I'm ready for the world to throw something at me. It's just that, I'm…I'm…" Riley said having trouble getting the words out.

"What? Come on, you can tell me." Lucas said.

"I'm afraid." Riley said softly.

"What? I can't hear you. Can you repeat it out loud?" Lucas asked.

"I'm afraid! Okay? Is that what you want to hear?! I'm an old lady, just like what Alan said!" Riley cried. Lucas walked over to Riley and sat down next to her, throwing his arm around her and held her close while she cries on his chest.

"Hey, do you think that this is easier for me to turn thirty last month?" Lucas asked.

"Oh, shut up." Riley said.

"No, I'm serious. I freaked out about turning thirty last year. I was happy about turning thirty, but deep down I was afraid." Lucas said.

"Afraid of what?" Riley asked raising her head off of Lucas' chest and looked into his emerald green eyes.

"I know that turning thirty is not a big deal but when I turned thirty, I felt different. I was afraid that I was getting old. Just wait until I have my midlife crisis, which I'm not going to have, by the way. When I turned thirty, I felt that I was not the same young man that I was before. The same guy who rode Judy the sheep and the same guy who conquered Tombstone the bull. Those days were over for me now. Right now, I'm a thirty-one year old veterinarian who's a father of two, pleading with God not to let me age. I also pleaded him not to let me leave my wife and my children. I was afraid that if I get older, I might be the first one to go." Lucas said.

"Lucas, you still have a few good years left. You're not going to leave me and the children. You will always be with us. Me however, I'm afraid of aging because I found a grey hair in my head last night." Riley said as Lucas chuckled for a bit. "What's so funny? Lucas!"

"I'm sorry. A grey hair? Sweetie, that must've been from Rover. He slept in our bed last night." Lucas said.

"I've read on Psychology Today about turning 30. It said that turning 30 is one of those things that everyone has an opinion about. You know that I love being young. And to quote Franz Kafka, "Youth is happy because it has the ability to see beauty. Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.". Hmm, sounds like a life lesson from my father. Look at me, Maya, Smackle and Vanessa. We're now thirty. Cougars. The Stifler's mom of the generation." Riley said as Lucas gave her a look and mouthed the words "Stifler's mom" silently.

"You're comparing yourself to Stifler's mom from American Pie?" Lucas asked.

"You're pushing it, Ranger Rick." Riley grinned at her husband and leaned in to kiss him. Juliet and Alan stood in the doorway, with Juliet looking in disgust while covering her little brother's eyes.

"Oh, God! Will you two stop it? There are kids here." Juliet said as Riley and Lucas separate themselves and start laughing.

"Sorry, sweetie." Riley said. "What are you two doing here?"

"Well, mom. Alan has something to say to you." Juliet said as Alan enters the room and walked over to his parents. Riley picks up Alan and sits him on her lap.

"What is it that you want to say to me, sweetie?" Riley asked.

"Mommy, I'm sorry." Alan said.

"Sorry, for what?" Riley asked.

"I'm sorry that I called you old. You're still my beautiful mommy." Alan said as Riley smiled at him.

"Aww. That's very sweet of you, Alan. I'm not mad at you. Well, you see. You'll figure it out when you get older." Riley said grinning at Alan and gave him a hug. "You know something, Lucas. I just realized that you, me, Maya, Farkle, Zay, Smackle and Vanessa are a bunch of thirty year olds."

"You know what I've just realized? In ten years, we're going to turn 40." Lucas said as Riley glared at him.

"You know in nine years, you'll be the one that's gonna be 40." Riley said.

"Oh, God! Why?! Why are you doing this to me?! I have to go to work." Lucas cried as he ran out of the room.

"You know, there are times that dad could be really weird." Juliet said.

"I know." Riley said.

And that was chapter thirty-seven of Juliet's World. LOL on Lucas freaking out just like Joey from Friends. Next time on Juliet's World, it's Riley's birthday dinner and Juliet and Elliot talk about what they are now. Let's hope that Lucas doesn't interrupt them. Don't forget to review this story and add this to your favorites and make sure to follow this story. I'll see you guys next time for chapter thirty-eight. Till next time, my fellow readers.
