Decisions

Maya's eyes slowly fluttered opened and she was shocked to feel her husband was still in bed with her. She could have sworn she heard his alarm go off over a hour ago. She rubbed her eyes making them focus so she could look at the time. She was right. What was he still doing in bed?

"Josh, babe, you were suppose to wake up over a hour ago. Your class starts in ten minutes." She listened to him groan into his pillow as she rubbed his bare back.

"I don't feel good," he mumbled, rolling away from her.

Maya frowned, "You were fine last night when we went to bed."

"Not anymore," Josh muttered, pulling the sheet up over his body more.

Maya reached over to feel his head and was shocked it did feel a little hot as he rolled back over to face her. "Aw, Boing, you do feel a little warm," she agreed, carefully snuggling up to him as close as she could.

"I told you. I feel like shit," he told her as she gently ran her hand across his face.

She let her hand linger on his cheek before her eyes lit up and her mouth dropped open.

Josh frowned, staring at his wife as she lit up like it was Christmas. "Why do you look so happy?"

"This is the first time as your wife I get to take care of you!"

"I'm glad one of us is thrilled that I don't feel good."

"Josh-"

"Maya, stop yelling."

"Sorry," Maya winced, placing a quick kiss on his lips.

"As much as I love kissing you and being this close to you. It's two of my favorite things in the world but I don't think it's a good idea. You might get sick."

"Then we will be an adorably hot sick couple," she smiled, raking her hand through his hair. "Because I'm not going anywhere. I'm taking care of my sick hubby and I'm going to make you feel better even if it's giving you a kiss and being this close to you."

"I have the best wife in the world."

"That you do," Maya smiled, kissing his cheek before getting up and out of bed.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to go and get you some medicine and a glass of water," she told him, walking out of the room before returning a short while later. He thanked her taking the water and medicine as she crawled back in bed as Josh sat up against the headboard.

"I have to go and meet our new landlord to give her the deposit today."

"So we are really doing this?" Josh asked, as he adjusted his pillow.

"Why? Are you having second thoughts?"

Josh shook his head. "No, not at all. But you do know your parents are going to be pissed?"

"When aren't they pissed? They will get over it. Did they really expect us to live with Andrew and Charlotte forever?"

"I think it brought them some kind of weird comfort knowing we lived with another couple."

"Well, too bad for them. We've been married for almost a year now and we want to live together alone and with the lease being almost up it's perfect timing. They need to realized that I'm not a little girl anymore and even if I weren't married to you I wouldn't be living in their home. I would still most likely be here or maybe in a dorm with Riley but we both know where I would mainly be sleeping at."

Josh chuckled, slowly nodding because he knew he couldn't deny it. He stared intensely at his wife. He knew he should probably wait to have this conversation with her when he felt better but now is as good of a time as any.

"What?" Maya asked, knowing Josh had something on his mind.

"I think you should cut your parents some slack," he started and knew he was going to get the eye roll he got. "Just listen to me for a sec," he said, taking her hand into his. "They know you aren't a little girl anymore but I think what they want is time with you. They still want to do all the little things they did with you before you moved out. You are their only child. It has to be tough on them and not to mention it was just you and your mom for so long and then Shawn came and I think Shawn was just getting use to having a daughter and now you are out on your own. I think you could still do all the little things they are missing. You're parents are here in the city. I wish my parents lived here so I could spend more time with them."

Maya pressed her lips together, listening to her husband's words before nodding. She knew how much Josh missed his parents and being away from them. Here she was lucky enough to be living by her parents and not taking advantaged of it. "You're right. I should and maybe I can start by us staying with my parents for the few days while our new apartment is being finished up?"

"I didn't say that."

"They will love to have us. I'll show my mom our new place and then ask."

"Oh yeah because I'm sure Shawn will be thrilled to have me sleeping over with you."

"Of course, he will. You're married to me which makes you a son to him."

Josh scrunched his face up. "I don't think it works like that. I was like a little brother to him and now I'm pretty sure I'm just the guy who is having sex with his daughter. Married or not."

Maya laughed. "Stop being silly. You know Shawn likes you."

"I do know Shawn likes me except when he thinks about our relationship. I'm sure it freaks out and pisses him off at the same time."

Maya shook her head. "We are going to stay at my parents and then once we are settled into our new apartment we are going to go and visit your parents."

"Sounds like a plan," Josh agreed.

"I can't believe we've been married for almost a year."

"I know. Best decision I've ever made was making you my wife."

Maya smiled, blushing. "Best decision I've ever made was becoming your wife and we are going to keep proving to everyone we made the right decision."

Josh nodded, kissing Maya's wedding band. They were in it for the long game.

XOXOXOX

"Juliette?"

"No."

"Everly?"

"No but that's cute. Maybe if we have another girl in the future but it doesn't feel right for this little girl. It has to be perfect for her. It's a major decision because she will have it the rest of her life."

Lucas sighed, looking up at his pregnant girlfriend eating a bowl of ice-cream on her bed. She took a huge bite before her eyes lit up like it was Christmas.

"I know her name!"

"What?" Lucas said, excited as he stood up off of the floor, tossing a baby name book aside. He wanted to know what name she thought was perfect for their little girl.

"Penelope," Riley grinned.

"Penelope?"

"Yes, that's her name," she said, resting her hand on her stomach.

Lucas nodded, knowing her mind was made up and he wouldn't be able to change it if he tried. "I should have known you were going to name her after Maya," he murmured, wondering why he wasted as much time as he did reading those books.

"Penelope Isadora Friar."

"Friar?"

"Well yeah, that's your last name and you are her father."

Lucas stood shocked. "I just-I just thought that since we weren't married you would give her your last name."

Riley shook her head. "No, I thought about it but I know one day Friar will be my last name."

Lucas smiled, nodding. "Penelope Isadora Friar," he repeated the name Riley had picked out for their daughter. "I think it's the perfect name for our daughter.

"I can't believe we just decided on a name for our baby."

"I know. She is going to be here soon."

Riley nodded. "Our lives are about to change more than they already have," she said, softly, her eyes on her boyfriend. She couldn't believe how much her life had changed in the pass few months even in physical appearances. Lucas had shorter hair and her stomach wasn't flat. She was pregnant with a baby girl and her boyfriend was in the military. She had doctor's appointments and her room was filled with baby stuff. Sometimes she wondered if it really has sunken in that she was about to be someone's mother. She knew things weren't going to easy. She would have to keep up with her studies while taking care of a baby and with Lucas constantly being away. She didn't even want to think about when he was away for boot camp. Everything overwhelmed her at times but she would never voice it or complained. This was to be expected. She knew the moment she decided to keep the baby with Lucas joining the military things were going to be hard but all it took was to feel a little kick and know she made the right decision and it will be worth all the hard times to come.

I'm not too happy with this chapter but please leave me a review with your thoughts! I'm having MAJOR writer's block, especially when it comes to Rucas. If you have any suggestions or things you want to see please send them my way through a review or even a pm and we can talk about it and that includes for Joshaya. If there is something you want to see with them feel free send that my way as well. Just so you know because I hear you guys and I know a lot of you are not happy about Maya's choices but her job is set so I don't need any suggestions for that but anything else send it my way.

To the guest reviewer and as well to you if you are reading this. I have been thinking about doing a multi-chapter Joshaya story. I'm not sure what yet. I'm not good at slow burn when it comes to Joshaya so I doubt it will be that. I was thinking about doing and I know this is over done but a teenage pregnancy story or a story where Josh is a bad boy sent to live with the Hunters. I just need to get my ideas written out and see which one would work and if I have enough ideas to make a story out of them. So let me know if you are interested in either or if you have an idea for a story you would like to see. The story most likely won't come out until after I'm finished with "Before He Cheats".
