Thank you for all of your reviews/favs/follows! Amy mentioned in her review about Maya and her art I wanted take a moment answer it, Maya does still do art but on the side. It's not her main focus anymore. YouTube is. YouTube is Maya's career at this moment in her life.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes.

Maya took deep breaths, trying to calm herself down and keep the fake smile on her face. She saw him out the corner of eye, him looking over at her but keeping a distance.

"Is Josh here?"

Maya force herself to focus and turned her attention on the teenage girl and reminding her of her whereabouts. She was at B Beautycon where there was tons of people around with cameras. The last thing she needed to do was have a meltdown and for it to get capture on camera. "No," she answered, sadly. "He couldn't make the trip."

"Aww."

Maya pouted out her bottom lip, "I know. I wish he was here," she told them truthfully. Right now, she would give anything to have her husband at her side.

"You guys are so adorable together," another teenager girl said. "I love watching your vlogs with him in them."

"Thank you," she beamed, before posing for another selfie.

"I can't wait for your panel."

"Thank you," she thanked them again. "Hopefully I don't freeze up," she laughed.

"You'll be amazing."

"Thank you. It was nice meeting you guys," she smiled as the girls who were a few years younger than her began to walk away.

Maya stood still. She closed her eyes, wiping her sweaty hands on her floral jumpsuit before tucking a piece of her straight hair behind her ear. She braced herself as she slowly turned to face and walked over to the man, thankful they were in the hallway outside of where everything was going on and not a lot of people were around. She reminded herself to breath as her high heels echo in her ears with her step she took as she got closer to him. She stopped in front of him but still keeping some distance, taking in a deep breath. "What are you doing here?" she asked, softly, not wanting to make a scene.

"I came here with my other daughter. She is a huge fan of one of those YouTubers and wanted to come here."

Maya pressed her lips together, slowly nodding.

"And I saw you walk in and had to make sure it was you and when it was I thought-"

She closed her eyes, shaking her head. What were the chances with everyone being here, he would see her here. "And you thought what? I would be okay with seeing you?"

"Maya-"

"I'm not okay with you contacting-."

"Maya Matthews?"

Maya looked over her shoulder at a new group of teenage girls.

"Is it okay if we take a picture?"

Maya forced a smile, "Yeah," she responded, before posing with the group of girls. She made small talk again and waited until they left before looking back at the man who took a few steps back.

"Matthews?"

Maya held up her left hand revealing her wedding band.

Kermit frowned, "You're eighteen-"

"Nineteen," Maya corrected him. "I'm nineteen."

"And you're married," he gasped, making Maya glare. "And your mother is okay with this after mine and-"

"Don't you dare judge my mother for my actions. I chose to get married on my own and my husband and I's marriage is nothing like your and my mother's. We are happily married and in love and ready to take whatever life throws at us together."

Maya watched as Kermit shook his head in disbelief.

"Do I have a grand-child?"

Maya reminded herself to stay calm again the last thing she needed was to cause a scene. "No, you don't have a grand-child," she answered, sharply. "Unless one of your children has a child. I'm not your daughter so no child of mine will ever be your grand-child. Shawn Hunter and Alan Matthews are my future children's grandfathers. Not you."

"Maya!"

Maya froze at the sound of the voice coming behind her and relief and happiness wash all over her. She turned around "Josh!" she yelled, before taking off and running to jump into his arms and wrapping her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. "I can't believe you're here."

He kissed the side of her head murmured into her hair, "Are you okay?" he asked as his eyes were on the man standing not too far from them.

Maya nodded against his shoulder, holding onto him tighter. "You're here."

Josh kissed the side of her head again. "I wouldn't miss your first panel for the world."

Maya pulled away placing a soft kiss on his mouth. She looked at him confused. "I thought you couldn't get off work?"

"I wanted to surprise you," he told her, staring lovingly into her eyes. "But I can see you are being surprised more ways than one."

Maya swallowed as she barely nodded her head, staring into her husband's eyes.

"Are you okay?" he asked again.

She gave him a small reassuring smile and nod. "I am now," she told him. "I'm so happy you are here."

"Me too," he agreed, placing a soft kiss on her lips.

She smiled, her thumb wiping off some of her lip gloss that got onto his lips.

"You need to get ready. Your panel should be starting soon."

Maya nodded, unwrapping her legs to stand but keeping her arms around his neck.

Josh leaned down placing a quick kiss on her mouth. "I can't wait for to see you kick ass on that panel. I'll be in there in a second."

Maya smiled, "I love you."

"I love you too."

Josh gave her another quick kiss before watching her go. He turned around to jog and catch up with the other man who had turned and started to walk away from the couple. "Stay away from my wife," he ordered, when he caught up to him and catching the guy off guard as he turned to face him. "I'm not going to stand here and let you hurt her again."

"I just came over to say hi-"

"Don't. You've done enough damage and I refuse to let you come back in and turn her world upside down. Maya is at an amazing place in her life. She's married and has a family that loves her and has a career she loves. She doesn't need you to come back in and ruin her happiness."

Kermit stood still for a moment letting the younger guy's words sink in before nodding. "You're right. I don't want to hurt Maya more than I already have. Just promise me you will take care of her."

"Not that I have to promise you anything but I can assure you Maya is my number one priority and always will be. I would do anything and everything I can to love and protect her and to make sure she is happy. I love her more than I love life itself and I'll do anything to make sure in my power so that no one can hurt her and that includes you."

Kermit nodded, "I'll respect your wishes because I know Maya is in good hands with you and her family," he told him, before bowing his head down some and turning to walk away.

Josh swallowed, watching him go. He turned, surprised, to see his wife standing not far from him. He knew from her face she saw and heard everything.

Maya slowly walked up to her husband. "Thank you," she said, softly.

Josh reached out for her hand pulling her to him. "You don't need to thank me. It's just part of my job as your husband."

Maya smiled before standing on her tippy-toes to give Josh a long deep kiss. "I'm thankful you are my husband."
