Be My Baby
Hello, my fellow readers. It is I, the great James Stryker bringing you another great chapter of Be My Baby. Well, I've now started watching the fourth season of Boy Meets World last night after I finished watching the third season. The fourth season of BMW had some pretty good episodes and some serious episodes like Dangerous Secret and one of my favorite episodes from season four Cult Fiction. That is my favorite episode of the show. Hearing Shawn's moving monologue in which he talks to God was very powerful and I almost teared up from watching that scene all the time. Props to Rider Strong, his performance was spectacular. Here's a little fun fact about the episode, Jerry Levine, the actor who played Mr. Mack the leader of The Centre, you might remember him as Scott's friend Stiles from the 1985 teen comedy Teen Wolf, not the television show that's dark and gritty. Well, he directed a couple of episodes in seasons six and seven of Boy Meets World. I want to see them tackle more serious issues on the third season of Girl Meets World. I want to see them tackle serious issues like racism and abuse. Any serious topics do you want them to issue on the show and do you have a favorite episode of Boy Meets World? Anyway, it's update time. Now today's chapter takes place three months later, Maya and Josh are engaged and Juliet is eleven months old. I though it was time for Juliet to say her first word. It was probably that or her first steps. I wonder what her first word will be. We'll find out in chapter fifty of Be My Baby. Enjoy.
Chapter Fifty
First Words and Internships
Three Months Later
"Come on, Jules. You can say it. Say "mama". I know you can say it." Riley said as Juliet babbles and smiles at her while Maya and Farkle both watch her as Lucas enters the apartment carrying a large pizza from Bingo's Pizza and the mail. Riley was sitting on the floor playing with Juliet. They've been going at it for days.
"Riles, she's only eleven months old. Don't force her to say her first word. Now, I need to pick a song to play at our wedding. Farkle, which song do you like?" Maya asked picking out some songs to play at the wedding. The blonde beauty began to play the song A Whole New World by Peabo Bryson and Regina Belle at first. Then, began to play What If We Fall In Love by Eugene Wilde and Sheena Easton.
"Hmm, let's see. Did you play After All by Peter Cetera and Cher yet?" Farkle asked.
"Not yet. Why?" Maya asked.
"Because it's an excellent love song to play at your wedding. Heck, it'll be yours and Josh's song. Plus, it was played during the wedding scene at the end of Chances Are." Farkle said.
"Awww, I love that movie." Maya said.
"Awww, me too." Riley said smiling as Farkle and Lucas both looked at each other.
"Chicks." Farkle and Lucas both said simultaneously as Riley and Maya both gave them the death glare.
"You know, I always thought that I was going to be the one that was going to propose to you. I know that I had a crush on you and I was madly in love with you and I wanted you to be the future Mrs. Farkle Minkus and we'll have a bunch of baby Minkii together. But since I'm dating Smackle and you're marrying Riley's uncle, I have to say that I'm very happy for you two." Farkle said.
"Awww, that's sweet of you Farkle. Thank you. That means a lot to me." Maya said.
"You're welcome. You're my friend and friends help each other out. I hope you can do the same with me when I get married to my sweet Isadora." Farkle said. Juliet playfully claps her hands around and gives her mother toothy grins as Lucas walks over towards them with the mail.
"Ooh, look. There's daddy. Can you say 'daddy'? Say 'daddy'. You can do it." Riley said.
"Gu-gaa." Juliet babbles.
"Not 'gu-gaa', sweetie. 'Daddy'." Riley said as Juliet continues to babble and clap her hands some more and make gurgling sounds.
"Oh, come on. You've been bugging her all day. Let me try." Farkle said as he sits down on the floor. "Okay, Juliet. I want you to say 'Farkle'. Can you say that? Say 'Farkle'."
"Are you kidding me here? You think that Juliet is going to say 'Farkle'? Give me a break. She should say 'mommy' or 'daddy' or 'baba' or 'wubby'. Not 'Farkle'." Maya said. Lucas grabs himself a slice of pepperoni pizza, taking a bite of it and not noticing that the pizza is piping hot instantly burning his mouth.
"Ow!" Lucas spits the pizza out of his mouth. "Fuck!"
"Lucas!" Riley gasped.
"What? What did I do?" Lucas asked.
"Don't say that word in front of my daughter. You must be out of your mind." Riley said covering Juliet's ears.
"What word?" Lucas asked.
"Don't play dumb, Huckleberry. You know what word you said. The f dash-dash-dash word. God, you're such a potty mouth. Do you even kiss your mother with that mouth?" Maya asked as Lucas covered his mouth with his hand.
"Oh, boy. Oops. Sorry, Jules. Daddy didn't mean to say the bad word in front of you." Lucas said.
"Somebody give Homer Simpson a swear jar." Farkle said as Maya and Riley both started laughing. Lucas rolls his eyes and sits down at the dining room table to check the mail, going through bill after bill after bill and a letter from Pappy Joe until he came across another envelope that was from the admissions office of Texas A&M University.
"Holy cow." Lucas said to himself opening up the envelope and starts reading the letter from the dean of admissions.
"Lucas." Riley called.
"I'm busy, Riley." Lucas said. "A scholarship at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences and an internship at Elgin Veterinary Hospital in Austin, Texas. We've heard a lot of great things about you and we would love to interview you over the phone. Hope to hear from you soon."
Lucas was excited about the wonderful news. Being offered an internship at Elgin Veterinary Hospital in Austin, Texas. But then he began to think about Riley and Juliet and how Riley would feel about moving to Texas with him. Lucas sticks the envelope in the back of his pants pocket and entered the living to watch Riley with Juliet and sat down on the floor next to her.
"Come on, princess. Say 'mommy'. Come on, you can do it." Lucas said as Juliet babbles.
"She's almost one, Lucas. She could say something, right? Besides she'll probably say 'daddy' first before 'mommy'." Riley said as she picks up Juliet.
"Yeah. She's daddy's little girl." Lucas grinned.
"Well, that's true about you. And you know, she's like her mother. She'll take after me when she gets older." Riley said. "So Maya, any luck with picking out a song for the wedding?"
"Yeah, I'm going for After All. Thank you, Farkle." Maya said. Thinking about telling Riley the news, Lucas felt it was the right time to tell her about this.
"Riles." Lucas said.
"Lucas." Riley turns to him.
"There's something that I have to tell you." Lucas said.
"What is it?" Riley asked.
"Well…." Lucas was about to utter another word until he was interrupted by a single yell.
"FARKLE!"
Riley's eyes widened and Lucas looked in shock at his eleven-month-old daughter. Maya turned to Farkle, who was standing in the kitchen eating a slice of pizza.
"D…di…did she just say 'Farkle'?" Farkle asked.
"I believe that she did, buddy." Lucas said.
"I don't believe it." Riley said.
"I don't believe it either. Juliet said her first word. And her first word is 'Farkle'." Maya said as Juliet giggles, calling 'Farkle!' one more time.
"You little traitor. You're supposed to say 'daddy'." Lucas pouts. Juliet smiles at her father and babbles once more as Riley passes her over to Lucas.
"So Lucas, what is it you were about to tell me before our daughter said her first word." Riley said.
"Well, I…." Lucas tried say those words to her but he didn't have the heart to tell her. He tried to come up with something real quick. "It's nothing. Nothing at all. I'm going to go into the office and pay some of the bills. I'll be back."
Lucas head to the office to pay for the light bill and the water bill. Riley was getting worried about him, sensing there was something wrong.
"Riles, are you okay?" Maya asked walking over to her.
"I don't know. I'm getting worried about Lucas. I'm worried that there's something bothering him and he's not telling me. Maya, do you think that Lucas doesn't love me anymore?" Riley asked.
"Riles, relax. Lucas still loves you. He would never cheat on you. Maybe there's something else that's bothering him." Maya said as Riley picks up the wedding photo of her and Lucas.
And that was chapter fifty of Be My Baby. I hope you enjoyed that adorable and funny chapter. I was trying to come up with something for Riley and Lucas and I thought that the summer internship in Austin, Texas would do and Lucas would hide it from her. Next time, Lucas tells Riley about the internship. How would she react to the news? Also, a familiar face appears in the chapter. Who could it be? Don't forget to review this chapter (No rude comments, please be nice) and I'll see you guys next time for chapter fifty-one. Till next time, my fellow readers.
