Summary- Riley gets glasses, and an overall fluffy chapter.
Disclaimer- I don't own any of the other characters mentioned; although I may know them, doesn't mean I own them.
A/N- Sorry for the late update, was getting a little dry, but I have a plot for the next few chapters. Thanks for all the great reviews, and this chapter will have a tiny bit s/s in it, but more r/m and their kids. Hope you like it. This takes place two weeks after the last chapter.
On with the story...
"Mom!" Riley shrieked as they entered the house. Marissa walked in behind her and covered her ears and sighed. Riley was really becoming quite the drama queen. "I'm not wearing these," she told Marissa as she took off her glasses and handed them to her. Marissa took them and put them back on Riley.
"You look beautiful," Marissa told her as she pinched her cheeks.
"Why can't I wear contacts?" she whined.
"Because...the doctor said you need to let your eyes get used to the glasses and then you can get contacts," Marissa explained.
"What does he know?" Riley muttered.
Marissa was going to tell her that she looked fine again but was interupted when Ryan came in. "Hey," he greeted them as he walked over to Marissa and put an arm around her waist. Riley turned around with a distraught face and pointed to her glasses.
"Dad! Tell Mom I don't need glasses!" Riley told him.
"Um, wow, you got glasses," Ryan said surprised.
"I don't even need them, that doctor's a quack," she replied, "I look like a monster," she continued as she examined her face in the hallway mirror.
Marissa urged Ryan to say something to Riley. "Uh, no you don't, you look like a princess," Ryan told her quickly.
Riley still wasn't convinced. Then all of a sudden, Jake came down the stairs with Emily trudging behind. Riley turned around and Jake jumped back laughing. "Hey squirt, nice spectacles." Riley made a face at him as Emily motioned for Ryan to pick her up.
"What are testicles Daddy?" Emily asked once in his arms.
Ryan's eyes widened as did Marissa's while Jake and Riley laughed. "Spectacles, not testicles," Ryan corrected, still in shock. "Oooh," Emily nodded knowingly, "Specticles."
"Right," Marissa said as she walked over to them and picked up Emily from Ryan's arms. "Where's Connor?" she asked Emily.
"Playing with Normy," Emily explained. "Mommy, will you play dress up with me?" she asked.
"Maybe later ok, sweetie? Mommy has to go shopping and take Riley to her dance practice."
Emily nodded solemnly before perking up. "Daddy will you play dress up with me?"
Ryan laughed and shook his head. "Maybe Jake will," Ryan offered.
"No I have to use the car," he explained.
"Great!" Marissa exclaimed as she shoved the keys in his face, "then you take Riley to her dance practice and I can go shopping and be done sooner."
Riley smiled widely at Jake before running up the stairs, "Wait for me!" she called out.
"Do I have a choice?" he responded. A faint 'no' was heard from upstairs.
"Mommy, can you get those itty bitty goldfish?" Emily asked as she made a space between her fingers, displaying her tiny fingers which were painted bright red; courtesy of Riley.
Marissa laughed and kissed her fingers, "Of course."
Riley came storming down the stairs and zipped by them, "Bye Mom, Dad," she called out; grabbing Jake's arm in the process, slinging her duffle bag over her shoulder and slamming the front door.
Emily ran up the stairs to join Connor in feeding Norman. Ryan dangled the car keys in Marissa's face. She walked over to him and grabbed his waist; tickling him slightly, which made him bring down his hand. She kissed him lightly but broke it off when they heard the dog bark.
"I'll get that," Ryan told her as he handed the keys to her.
"Ok, I'll be back soon, love you," and kissed him before he jogged up the stairs.

"You're here...I thought you...wouldn't make...it," Summer said in between kisses as she attacked Seth as she opened the door.
"I told you I would," Seth responded, slipping off his jacket and moving Summer into the bedroom.
"I know...but you're early...and...I couldn't wait...to see you," she told him as she unbuttoned his pants.
"Anything for you," Seth replied as he slammed the bedroom door shut and the creaking of the mattress was heard.
--
Emily giggled as Connor put a finger to his lips to tell her to quiet down. She nodded her head and continued to put on the blue eyeshadow. Connor made a gasping noise when he opened the nail polish bottle and some of it leaked on his pants. Emily put a hand over his mouth as Ryan started to stir. She handed Connor the bright red lipstick and he nodded as he put the top on the nail polish bottle and took the lipstick from Emily's hands and started to put it on Ryan's lips, moving outside the line.
Emily ran her hand through Ryan's hair a few more times, gelling it even more. They continued to giggle silently as Ryan stirred a bit more from little hands tickling his face.
Marissa made her way upstairs, looking in through the hallway. She heard giggling coming from her and Ryan's room. She started to make her way towards the room.
Connor heard footsteps coming their way and they were becoming even louder. Hanging out with Norman had really come in handy. He put his hands up wildly, motioning to his sister someone was coming. Emily finally saw Connor's spaz attack and they tried to surpress their giggles as they curled up into little balls and curled under Ryan's arms.
Marissa silently opened the door, just peaking her head in. She saw two of her kids under her husband's arms; their eyes fluttering and their lips pursed to keep from laughing. Marissa decided to have some fun with this scene. She tip toed her way to the bed, going towards Connor's side. Emily peeked her eyes open and closed them again, seeing who it was.
Connor held on to Ryan's shirt even tighter as Marissa gently picked him up, trying to get him away from Ryan. But Connor pinched his hands to Ryan's shirt even tighter. Marissa saw Connor wasn't going to budge so she walked over to Emily's side. Ryan spit something in his sleep and went back to sleep. They all silently laughed and continued with their roles.
Marissa hopped on the bed, which made Emily budge, but not totally blow her cover; or so she thought. "Booga booga booga boo!" Marissa yelled. The twins shrieked and frantically got up; waking Ryan up in the process. He seemed confused as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
They all started laughing, except Ryan, who was still confused. He looked over at his wife, who was now holding both twins as they continued their roar with laughter. "What?" he asked, still confused.
"Daddy looks pretty Mommy," Emily said in between her giggles.
Connor continued to laugh and eventually bounced his way over to Ryan who was still in a daze of confusion. He put his tiny hands over Ryan's lips and took off some of the lipstick and spread it on his face. "Pretty!" he announced.
Ryan felt some moisture on his skin. Marissa finally composed herself and told the twins to clean up for dinner. They jumped off the bed and to the door but not without a "Bye pretty Daddy." Ryan got up, even more confused and saw them scatter down the hall. He made his way towards the mirror and turned around to face Marissa, shocked at what he saw.
"What is this?" he asked, pointing to his face, which was done completely in red blush and blue eyeshadow and his spiky hair, so he basically looked like a clown.
Marissa smiled and went over to him, wrapping her arms around his waist and snuggling her face into his neck.
"I had nothing to do with it," she told him; her voice coming out muffled.
Ryan nodded his head and leaned his head on hers. "But if it makes you feel better, I like you better without the make up," she told him sarcastically.
"Thanks," he responded back in her sarcastic tone.
"Make up makes you look too..." she searched for the right words, "Girly, and I like you...".
Ryan gave her a look, "Manly," she responded in a whisper and started to move her lips around his face, her sweet breath arousing him as well as the tips of her lips.
She continued to stroke his hair and speak at the same time, "And...make up doesn't...suit well with men," she continued whispering. Ryan gave her another look as she tilted her head to the side, "Well, some men," she corrected with a smile. Ryan smiled back and leaned in for a kiss, but she caught him off guard by continuing to whisper in his ear so he leaned the side of his head on hers, and wrapped his arms around her waist, enjoying her. "And plus, you're sexier without the make up," Marissa told him. Ryan's head leaned off hers and rested his forehead against hers, "Sexy?" he asked in a hushed husky voice.
"Sexy," she confirmed in a seductive tone, moving her lips to his; embracing him in a full lip lock. She moved her hands from his waist to his neck and they made their way to the bed, flopping down on it, Marissa on top. They continued to passionately kiss as Ryan played with the hem of Marissa's shirt, flipping it up and down. They were interupted by...
"Mom!? Mom!?" Riley screeched in her usual tone. She went into her parent's bedroom, stopping in the doorway when she saw her parents. "Eww! Like, could I be any more grossed out?" she stated. Ryan and Marissa sheeplisly got off each other, displaying Ryan's face complete with a whole new look and Marissa's lips which were covered in lipstick to her nose. Riley seemed weirded out. "Ew, Dad? Did you like take Emily and Connor to the circus or something?" she sarcastically.
Ryan gave back a sarcastic smile to which she gladly returned. Then she realized she was holding something in her hand, the phone. "Oh, right. Mom? It's Mrs. Fisher, she wanted to know if you wanted to go shopping with her, and bring me along so me and Stacy can hang out," Riley explained.
Marissa waved her hands in front of her face, signaling her no. Riley nodded and went back to the phone as made her way downstairs. "You don't like shopping anymore?" Ryan asked as Marissa laid on top of him.
"Not with Holly Fisher," she explained, "She criticizes everything I own, and how I look, ugh!" she complained.
"What's wrong with the way you look?" Ryan asked.
"Well apparently, now I fill out too much, and before, it was I was too skinny, I'll never be perfect for these people," she told him.
It was true, Marissa's figure had changed slightly, she filled out more. What do you expect after 3 pregnancies, one of them being with twins.
Ryan rolled over, so now her was on top of her as he balanced himself with hands on either side of her. "I think you look perfect," he said sweetly. Marissa smiled and leaned in for a kiss. She pulled back, laughing, "Ok, you need to go wash off, you're really creeping me out.".
"Yeah, I know, and it stings too," Ryan explained as he scratched his head, clumps of gel coming out in his hands. They both laughed as they made their way to their bathroom; clumps of gel falling out as they did.

It was about a week later.
Jake made his way upstairs. No one else was home, or so he thought. Mom and Dad are at Uncle Seth's house, something about having to tell them something important, and Mom made me get dinner. The twins are at Grandma and Grandpa's, so that leaves...Riley. He heard giggling and loud smacking noises, which could easily be interperted into kissing, as he made his way to his room, which just happened to be next to Riley's. A little squeal came out of Riley's bedroom. What the hell is going on? he thought. Is she hurt? Without hesitation, he opened the door and stood there motionless, in the doorway.
"Kyle?" he asked.
Riley sat up immediately, and got off of Kyle. Kyle was one of Jake's good friends.
"Dude! That's my sister!" Jake yelled.
Riley quickly put her blouse over her camisole, as Kyle sat up, with a weird look on his face. He buttoned up his shirt as Jake went over to him and picked him up. "Chill, man, chill," Kyle exclaimed.
"What are you doing to my sister?" he demanded.
Kyle brushed off Jake's hands, "Nothing man! It's not like we were doin' it!" he told him.
Jake's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment. He looked over at Riley who looked like she was about to cry, and she wouldn't meet his eyes.
"Man, you have a girlfriend," Jake stated.
Riley looked up in surprise, "You do?" she asked, hurt.
"Well, yeah, I mean it's not like me and you are serious or anything."
Jake clenched his fists and breathed in deeply, "If you don't get out of my house, in 5 seconds..." he trailed off.
Kyle looked over to Riley who had let a few tears drop, "Just go!", she told him, her voice breaking. He scoffed and started walking towards her, but didn't get very far since Jake still had a tight grip on his shirt. "Dude, don't make me smash your face in!" Jake told him as he spun him around. Kyle was scared now.
And it was true, Jake was a lot bigger than him, he was buff and in shape where as Kyle was buff as well, but skinnier than him but tall and met his height. Jake slowly released his grip on Kyle and looked over at Riley, who was still looking at Kyle, an embarassed look on her face.
He put his hands up in the air and stormed off, but not before, "Riles, maybe me and..."
"Go!" she screamed, interupting him. So he left.
Jake looked at his sister, a shocked look on his face. "Jake, please don't tell Mom and Dad," she begged.
He scoffed, "Is that what you care about? Do you know that all that kid cares about is sex, what if he done something to you?"
"He wanted to, but I told him I'm not ready, I swear, nothing bad was happening!" she told him truthfully.
"Yeah, maybe, but what if Mom and Dad walked in you, than what?"
"They didn't, but please don't tell them."
"It doesn't matter, what if I hadn't walked in, and then he tried to hurt you, than what?"
"I don't know! But I didn't have to find out," she said as she rubbed her hands on her face, making it blotchy and red.
"He's gonna tell all his friends he scored and you're gonna be known as easy," Jake told her.
"Please, don't let anyone find out, please," she begged him with pleading eyes as the tears continued to pour out.
"You know, maybe you should wear those glasses, help you keep your brain in track, that guy was three years older than you, and twice your size." Riley nodded her head and whispered in a cracking voice, "I know."
"Are you okay?" he asked in a softer tone. She nodded her head once again and looked down again.
"Ok, good. I have to get dinner ready since Mom and Dad are Uncle Seth and Aunt Summer's." His voice now montone. He walked out. Riley whimpered and snuggled up in her covers, as she got her glasses from her night stand and put them on.
--
"Well, thank god they're together, who knows how much longer we would have to last their dreamy staring contests," Marissa stated with a smile; talking about Seth and Summer, as her and Ryan walked in, each holding one of the twins, who scattered around the house once inside.
"I know," Ryan stated simply as he hung up their jackets in the coat closet.
The phone rang and Ryan went to get it as Marissa walked in the kitchen. "Hey sweetie," she greeted Jake.
Jake looked up, "Hey Mom."
Marissa looked at the take out boxes on the counter. "I used the money in the coffee can, hope that's okay," Jake said.
Marissa smiled, "Of course, we can have a...movie night," she said happily as she handed the chinese containers to Jake and motioned for him to take them into the den.
Ryan met Jake halfway. "Where's your sister?" he asked.
"Right next to you," Jake said, pointing to Emily.
"Where's Riley?" Ryan clarified.
"In her room."
Ryan nodded and picked up Emily and headed up the stairs. He knocked on the door a few times until he heard Riley's voice. "Just a sec!" she yelled, her voice still sad and cracked.
"Daddy, you looked pretty, can I put make up on you again?" Emily asked.
Ryan laughed, "No, I don't think so, maybe Mommy next time, okay?" Emily giggled and clapped her hands excitedly.
Riley opened the door and saw her Dad and younger sister. Ryan saw Riley, "Hey you ok?" he asked. She nodded as she smoothed her hair out, "Yeah, fine, just a lot of homework," she lied.
Ryan seemed somewhat convinced, "Ok, dinner's ready. Chinese," he said happily. Riley couldn't help but smile as well, "Ok." They walked to the den.
When Ryan and the two girls went into the den, they saw Connor holding up movies and getting approvals from Jake and Marissa. Marissa noticed Riley's mood and for once she wasnt in an upbeat mood. "You okay Riles?"
Riley snapped out of her daze, "Huh? Yeah, fine." Marissa didn't seem convinced, but nodded anyways. "Ry? Who was on the phone earlier?" she asked.
Ryan sat down next to Marissa, grabbing a box of chinese in the process. "Um...Kyle, he said he wanted his sweater back," Ryan said with a shrug towards Jake and Riley.
Rileylooked at Jake, scared. Jake finally spoke up. "Um, yeah, he was over and he left his sweater here, I'll give it to him tomorrow during school," he said in a nervous tone. Riley was relieved and mouthed 'thank you' but Jake didn't say anything, just handed her chopsticks.
Connor finally got the movie in, and he and Emily dug into the little containers of food with their tiny little hands. They all laughed and the twins turned to face everyone and started to laugh as well, having no idea what they were laughing about. Connor heard the music come on, signaling the movie was starting, so he shushed them and turned his attention back to the movie and continued to pick the food from the container and stuffed it in his mouth as Emily followed suit.
Riley got up and sprawled on one of the leather chairs and made herself comfortable and Jake took a seat in the the chair next to the couch and put his feet up on the coffee table and started to eat. Ryan and Marissa were on the couch and Marissa laid down, her bare feet resting in Ryan's lap as Ryan leaned back, resting his head on the comfortable fabric as the title began dispersing on the screen and the movie finally started.
A/N-Okay, sorry about having practically no s/s in there, but they will be in the next chapter. The thing that happened to Riley isn't exactly done, but it will affect Jake more in the next chapter. And someone will enter the Atwood household, but it's kind of unexpected, and the next chapter will be up soon, since I know what I want to happen. Stay tuned, and I hope you liked it, review! Thanks. And this was a fluffy chapter, I can't help it!
