Josh nodded along as he talked with Alan and his wife Patricia not really paying attention to them. His focus was on his blond blue eye wife who was currently laughing with his boss wife.

He scratched his head wondering what she was doing there since she had said she wasn't coming. Don't get him wrong he was happy to see her which surprised even him.

"Matthews are you even listening to me?" Josh turned from looking at Maya and turned back to Alan who was smirking at him. "Sorry what did you say?" He asked shaking his head. "Nothing dude I see you're more interested in the misses so I'll let you go."

Josh went to protest but Alan patted his shoulder. "Don't worry the misses and I were the same when we got hitched. Barely kept our hands off each other." Patricia hits him with her purse as she blushes. "Ignore my husband who has taken up all your time go say hello to your wife."

Josh smiles as he makes his way towards where he seen Maya only finding she wasn't there anymore. He looks around and sees his boss who smiles pointing at to the balcony. He looks at him weirdly before stepping out seeing Maya with a group of women laughing.

"Excuse me ladies mind if I steal my wife a moment?" He ask as they all look at him with smiles. "Of course but promise to return her she is hilarious." A red head woman says as Maya looks at her. Josh smiles as he holds out his hand to Maya who looks at it before putting hers in his.

They walk back inside stealing glances and not saying a word to each other. "Josh." They stop as he sees his boss coming towards them with the same red head on his arm. "I'm glad we caught you two." He says as they walk towards the front desk. "Oh this is Joann my wife." He says to Josh as he shakes her hand.

"Nice to meet you and I guess I don't have to introduce you to my wife." He jokes as Joann laughs shaking her head. "No you don't. But Robert here is in so much trouble for not telling me that Maya Hunter was your wife."

Josh looked at her with a confused expression as he looks at Maya who laughs. "Joann owns a couple of my paintings." She said as her cheeks turn pink. "A couple try five. You're a brilliant artist Maya. Josh I hope you know how brilliant your wife is?"

Josh looked at Maya as he wrapped his arm around her waist with a smile. "I sure do. I actually have one of her very first work in my office." He turns to Maya who looks at him with a shocked expression on her face. "You do?" She asked as he nodded his head.

"Yeah I knew you would be famous and amazing so I thought it was only right." He tells her as he sees her smile before looking away trying to hide her blushing cheeks. "You two are adorable let's have dinner?" Josh looked at his boss and his wife forgetting they were standing with them.

He wanted to decline since he still wanted to ask Maya what made her change her mind about showing up. "Well..." He begins as Maya cuts him off. "We love too." Joann claps her hands together smiling at them. "Perfect let's meet down here in day thirty?" They nod as they grab their key heading to their room.

Josh watches as Maya looks around while he tips the bellhop grabbing their bags. "So.." Josh begins as he moves their bags to the bedroom. Maya looks at him as he looks at her not knowing what to say. "Hey why did you decide to come when you said you weren't?" He asked as he could see Maya have a conversation with herself.

"We should get changed if we are going to make it to dinner with Robert and Joann." She says taking her bags to the bathroom. Josh watched her go as he sighs laying down on the bed. He lays there a moment before getting up and deciding to change as Maya was in the bathroom.

He had just taken off his shirt when Maya comes out the bathroom. He looks at her with wide eyes as he takes in her outfit. She was wearing a dark blue dress with her hair down. "W...wow you look w..wow." He says looking at her as he sees her blushing and turning redder by the moment.

"Um you plan to go like that to dinner?" She asked looking at him before averting her eyes. Josh looks at her weirdly before looking down and chuckling softly. "Why afraid you won't be able to keep your hands off me?" They both widened their eyes as Maya clears her throat about to say something when her phone goes off.

"Um it's my mom I should take it." She says heading towards the front room. Josh watched her go biting at his lip. "What are you doing Josh?" He whispers smacking his head. He couldn't believe he just flirted with her like that he was trying to keep things in control but it seemed his head had other plans.

He slipped on his shirt changing his pants before walking out towards where Maya was looking at her as she talked on the phone swaying slightly. He put his hand on his chest feeling his heart start to beat a little faster as he watched her.

Maybe it was his heart and not his head losing control around her as originally thought.

"Hey you ready?" He asked when she hung up. She nods as they head downstairs. They meet his boss and his wife in front of the little restaurant that was attached to the hotel they were staying at. The evening was going good until Joann asked how did they meet.

"Well actually I met Josh through his niece who is my best friend." Maya tells her and they look at her weirdly. "It's not like that Boing is just three years older than me." She says as Josh turns towards her with a smile. "Boing?" Joann ask as Maya and Josh stare at each other.

Maya breaks the eye contact and smiles at her as she goes into their shared history and how he had got the nickname from her. Josh listened as Maya talked laughing and smiling as she would put her hand on his shoulder or arm. If he was honest he missed hearing her call him Boing and he still wondered why she had stopped.

"Robert and Joann are fun." Maya yawned as they got ready for bed. "I don't think I've ever seen my boss laugh so much as he did tonight when you talked about jumping on me when I got accepted to NYU." He tells her as she playfully nudges him. She smiles as they looked at each other and then the bed.

He was going to suggest she take it and he would sleep on the couch when she beats him to it. "It's a big bed we can share." She says walking to one side as he does the same. They get in as Josh turns off the lights. "Night ferret." He whispers as he turns towards her. He waits to see if she says something and smiles when she does.

"Night Boing."

Riley sat in a booth by the window in the bakery muttering under her breath and ripping a napkin to shreds. She knew she was getting crazy looks from people as they walked passed her but she didn't care one bit. She was mad and needed to blow off some steam and she also was in the mood for some cake.

"Okay that's enough." She looks up just as Auggie takes the napkin from her as she shouts hey. He ignores her as he grabs her bag putting it around his chest and lifting Riley up and over his shoulder and walking out the bakery.

"Auggie what do you think you're doing?!" She shouts bouncing with every step and feeling nauseous as they went. She continued hitting his back stopping when Auggie pinches her leg making her yelp. He walks to her car he was borrowing and puts her in locking the door so she couldn't get out.

She glares at him as he gets in driving her back home opening her door and picking her up once again. "Keys?" He holds out his hand as Riley shakes her head. He sighs digging through her bag and pulling them out opening the door and tossing her on the couch.

She frowns throwing a pillow at him as he looks around her apartment. "Okay I have three questions. One why is your place filled with flowers and giant bears that say I'm beary sorry? And two why are there four pizza boxes on your counter and third why are you being that creepy person in the bakery?"

Riley groaned as she got up moving towards the newest bear she had gotten that morning from Lucas. If he thought flowers and bears would get her to talk to him he was sadly mistaken. "Well?" He asked as he makes a face when she opens one of the pizza boxes and grabs a slice.

"The gifts are from Lucas." She says as she offers Auggie a bite. "No thanks and why is he sending you this stuff? I thought he already apologized for making dad crazy?" Riley rolled her eyes at that as she leans against the counter. "He's apologizing for being a s-t-u-p-I-d head at dinner the other night."

"Why did you spell out stupid?" Auggie ask as she gasps hitting him. "Language!" She shouts as Auggie chuckles. "Why we're both adults." Riley shakes her head as she grab another pizza.

"Well if I'm about to become a mom I don't need or want my baby picking up those words." She bites into the pizza as she looks at Auggie who was looking at her with his mouth open. "What?" She ask with her mouthful. "Your pregnant?" He asked pointing at her stomach as she widened her eyes and begins to choke.

"Here drink this." Auggie tells her handing her a bottle of water. He watches as she chugs it wiping her mouth as she pants heavily. "Who told you?" She asked between pants as he looks at her weirdly before laughing confusing her. "Riley you literally just admitted it to me before you started choking."

Riley groaned as she lays on the couch as she throws a pillow over her face. "I can't believe I told you." She mumbles to herself as Auggie hits her legs sitting on the arm of the couch. "Hey I'm about to be an uncle I have ever right to know." He tells her as Riley flings the pillow at him.

"Be that as it may I'm barely two weeks and I don't want to jinx it. I heard you really aren't supposed to tell until the first trimester." He gives her a look as she rolls her eyes at him. "Okay fine but I know you are supposed to wait." He nods as Riley sits up allowing him to sit next to her.

"When do you plan to tell mom and dad?" He ask as Riley scrunches up her nose. With the way Lucas reacted to the news she couldn't even imagine how her parents especially her dad would. And honestly she just wasn't ready to handle whatever her dad was bond to say. Which she knew would be something outrageous.

"I think when I'm on my deathbed." She jokes leaning her head on Auggie shoulder as he chuckles. "Well for what it's worth congrats. I for one can't wait to spoil my future niece." She smiles as Auggie gets up heading for the door. "Maybe take it easy on Lucas I'm sure it was a shock to him too."

Riley looks at him weirdly as he smiles nodding his head. "Doesn't have to take a genius to know he probably said something stupid again. I get the feeling he does that a lot around you." He salutes her before walking out as she shakes her head standing up looking around at the flowers and bears.

Maybe Auggie was right and she should take it easy on him but the shock of what he said still swirled around in her brain. Making that an impossible task at the moment.

"Hey Ri...What are you wearing?" Maya asked looking at Riley through the computer screen. Riley sighs as she sits down lifting her shirt and pulling the pillow out. "Nothing just imaging what I will look like." She says rolling her eyes as the doorbell rings. "You plan to get that?" Maya asked as Riley shakes her head.

"Just leave it outside and go away!" She shouts as Maya laughs saying her name. Riley waits a second before going to the door and grabbing what was on the other side. "What is that?" Maya asked as Riley opens the box tossing the bear on the couch. "I'm going to assume things didn't work out with telling Lucas?"

"Nope." She says as Maya waits for her to elaborate which she does. "That son of a bi..." Riley shakes her head as Maya smiles. "Sorry honey." Riley nods as she lays down placing her hand on her stomach. "Let's forget about that what's going on with you and uncle Josh who you ditched me for."

"Riles I didn't ditch you and I'll let you know when I know myself." Riley looks at her and sees her with her worried thinking face and knew she shouldn't pry. She knew Maya had to figure it out and as much as Riley wanted to wrap her in a blanket and do it for her she had to let her.

After talking with Maya for an hour and no longer in the mood for pizza Riley grabbed her keys heading out the door. She walked to the store smiling at the little girl who was being tickled by her mom as she entered the store. She stood debating which ice cream she wanted when someone takes out one and puts it in her cart.

"Leave me alone Friar." She says pushing her cart passed him. "I'm sorry okay." He says as he catches up with her. She ignores him as she continues shopping hoping he would take the hint and leave. But no such luck as she continued shopping finding him on every aisle she was on.

She sighed paying for her things as she sees he was stuck in between to customers with huge cart fulls. She hurries home hoping Lucas just go instead of following her back home. She puts her stuff away laying down on the couch when she hears a knock at her door.

"Go away Lucas!" She shouts as he chuckles softly before knocking again. He knew if he kept annoying her by knocking she would eventually open the door for him. "I said go away!" He jumps when he hears a thump against the door smiling at the fact he was getting to her.

He knocked once again knocking in the style of of queen's we will rock you. "Just open the door and talk to me and I'll stop." He tells her when he hears her growl in frustration at his incessant knocking. "No! Time for talking was the other night remember?"

He sighed shaking his head as he paced up and down the hallway. He needed an idea of what he could do or say that would get her to talk to him. "Come on Riley let's just talk about this." He knocks once again. "I mean can you blame me for how I responded?"

He wishes he could take that back when she opens the door hitting him with one of the stuffed bears before closing the door once again. "You better get out of here my other boyfriend is on his way and I don't think he would appreciate seeing your face." She shouts as he could hear the sarcasm in her voice.

He chuckles softly before knocking again with a smirk on his face. "Did you just admit I'm your boyfriend?" He smiles when he hears her gasps from inside the apartment. "No that is not what I said. Don't put words in my mouth!" Lucas nods his head even though she couldn't see him.

"Technically you did you said I better get out of here cause your other boyfriend was on his way." He steps back when she opens the door slightly leaving the chain on. "Exactly." She says folding her arms across her chest. "Yeah So you were implying that I'm your boyfriend and your other one was on the way."

She scoffs trying to close the door as Lucas puts his foot in the way stopping her. "Riley just hear me out? Please?" He ask giving her his puppy dog eyes as she glares at him. "Fine." She says as he moves his foot and she closes the door. He waits to see if she would open it and bangs on it when she doesn't.

"I thought we were going to talk?!" He shouts as he sees her shadow under the door. "Talk I can hear you just fine." He groans shaking his head as he leans his head against the door. "I'm sorry okay I shouldn't have said what I said but I'm not the only one at fault here you just blurted it out. Who does that?"

"Well maybe if you wouldn't have insisted on champagne or wine I wouldn't have." She scoffs kicking the door. "Well forgive me for getting excited that the girl I've been trying to ask out finally agreed to go on a date with me. I was trying to impress you." He doesn't hear anything as the door opens causing him to fall.

"Ow." He rolls over laying on his back as he looks up at Riley who still had her arms folded across her chest. "So do you forgive me?" He ask as she looks down at him. "Maybe." She holds out her hand to him as he takes it helping him up. "I'll take maybe." He says dusting himself off.

He watches as she closes the door and sits down on the couch as he joins her. "So what do we do now?" She asked looking at him as he looks at her. "Well the right thing to do is to get married." He digs in his pocket as Riley pushes him causing him to fall off the couch.

"I'm not going to marry you! Are you crazy?!" She shouts as he looks at her weirdly. "It's the right thing to do Riley." He says sitting up as she scoffs at him. "Maybe back in the fifties but I don't need a ring and we certainly don't need to get married. So just wipe those thoughts from your brain."

Lucas sighs as he looks at her shaking his head. "So I don't get a say here?" He widens his eyes when Riley looks at him like she was trying to kill him. "Are you serious? Of course you do we're a team and are in this together." She tells him as he nods about to bring up the marriage thing again.

"Lucas Friar so help me if you say the word marriage I'm going to kick you so hard this will be your only child."

Lucas groans as he waits for Mandy to stop laughing at him. He had gone back to his office and told her what happened. She was the only one he told Riley was pregnant and the idiotic things he said to her. It was her idea to get flowers he just took it to another level.

"It's not funny you know." He says as Mandy nods her head only to laugh again. "Okay I'm done." She says only to start laughing once again stopping when she sees the look on his face. "I just have one question. What made you think proposing was something she would want right now?"

Lucas groans as he covers his face shaking his head. "I don't know." He says standing up rubbing his neck. "Honestly I don't think straight when I'm around her. Ever since college. I get all tongue tied and my brain stops working sometimes." He gives her a look when she says all the time.

"So what do I do?" He asked looking at Mandy hoping she had the magical answer. "I think you need to apologize for real this time and just be there for her. She's probably just as scared as you are maybe even more. Just support her okay?"

Lucas nods with a deep breath as he comes up with his next move. Mandy was right and he needs to talk with Riley. She said they were in this together and that's what he needed to do.

"Thanks for doing this man." Lucas says as Auggie opens up Riley's front door. "Don't thank me yet she may end up killing you and then me for letting you in." Lucas looked at him with wide eyes knowing that could be a possibility. "So you got everything?" Auggie asked leaning against the counter as Lucas put the groceries away.

"Yeah I should get started though thanks again Auggie." He nods heading for the door when Lucas stops him. "Why are you helping me?" Auggie turned to him and smiled softly. "I'm doing it for my future niece." He waves as he leaves causing Lucas to chuckle as he shook his head.

Lucas had just set the last plate on the table when the front door opens. "What are you doing here? How did you get in?" Riley asked as Lucas took the bag she was trying to hit him with. "This is a do over dinner. And as to who let me in that is neither here nor there."

"Auggie is losing his key privileges." She mutters as Lucas chuckles holding out a glass to her. "It's apple cider Riley." He shows her the bottle as she takes it sipping it as she sits down. "I'm sorry okay I shouldn't have said what I said to you. Honestly I don't know what I was thinking I was or am still in shock."

"So am I." She smiles as Lucas does the same. "Also I'm sorry that I suggested we get married that was I don't even know what that was. But..." he takes her hand as she looks at him. "I'm in. I'm all in for whatever comes next and will be here for you and the baby."

Maya walked around the Yale center for British art taking in the different paintings and sculptures. She had for the first time in a long time had gotten up early to escape her homelife. Well not exactly her homelife since technically she wasn't at home she just had to escape the feelings that were creeping up on her.

Feelings she was desperately trying not to give in to for a certain guy who just so happened to be her husband. She shook her head trying not to think about how she had woken up in his arms that morning or the fact she didn't want to leave them.

But she had to she didn't want to get attached and end up getting disappointed. She was just setting herself up to be disappointed by coming on his retreat anyways. She had avoided his question all the night before why she decided to go when she was so adamant about saying no.

But her mom's voice was in her head or more what she said to her was still dancing around her brain. Making her feel drunkenly weird something she didn't like feeling. She was in new territory and she was completely confused and nervous.

She just wanted to get through this trip with no complications. Maybe even become friends again like they use to be.

"I thought I find you here ferret." Maya couldn't help the smile on her face as she turned seeing Josh walking towards her with coffee in his hands. She holds out her hand to grab one when Josh pulls it back. "Did you eat breakfast yet?" Maya gives him a look as he holds it out to her before pulling it back again.

"How many cups have you had already?" She playfully nudges him as he hands it to her. "Thanks I needed this." She says as they look around. "No problem although you did get up pretty early." He looks at her as Maya just sips her coffee avoiding his eye.

"So what activities are we missing out on?" She asked as they walk out the building. "None really." Maya looks at him weirdly making him smile. "What does that mean?" She asked as he chuckles. "We don't actually come out here for group activities or things others usually do on company retreats."

"So what do you do?" Maya asked gasping as she looks at him. "Is this a cult because I don't think I can join I'm already apart of one." Josh gives her a look making her smile. "You're in a cult?" He asked stopping them from walking as Maya nodded her head.

"Yup since I was about seven." She begins to walk again as Josh jogs up to her. "Are you going to elaborate?" Maya chuckles tossing her coffee cup in a trash as she turns to him folding her arms across her chest. "Okay but I may be breaking some rules that were set when I joined by telling you this."

Josh waits as Maya takes a deep breath gesturing for him to come closer. She looks around causing him to do the same before she whispers. "It's called the U.R.S and it's very exclusive." She bites her lip as Josh pulls out his phone. "What are you doing?" She asked watching as he googled the initials she gave him.

"Trying to figure out what urs stands for and how a seven year old got conned into a cult." Maya looked at him to see if he was serious before she begins to laugh confusing him. "Josh it's not a real cult. Urs stands for unicorns rainbows and stars." Josh looked at her as she continued to laugh at his confused expression.

"You do know I'm best friends with Riley your niece and I was seven." She continues to laugh as Josh shook his head at her. "Ferret I can't believe you really had me think you had joined a cult." Maya shrugged her shoulders as she smiled at him.

"Come on Boing." She laughs linking her arm through his. "Buy me breakfast and I'll tell you all about the cult your niece started." He smiles as he nods walking with her to the nearest breakfast place. "So you are telling me Riley. Riley sweet little doe eye Matthews had you stab yourself for a blood oath?"

Maya laughed as she popped a piece of pancake in her mouth. "Yeah Farkle actually fainted and I poked his finger while he was unconscious. But if he asked we just poked him with a red marker." She laughed as Josh shook his head. "I can't believe Riley is a cult leader." He says shaking his head as Maya laughs.

"Yup we still get together from time to time." Maya tells him as they walk back to their hotel. "Wait is that why Farkle and you guys have that photo in your places?" He asked as Maya looked at him and begins to laugh. "You guys are so weird." He says as he starts laughing with her.

"Well you two look like you are enjoying yourselves." They smile as Robert and Joann walk up to them. "Yes we were just taking a walk down memory lane." Josh smiles as Maya begins to laugh. "Well you two should enjoy the sites. Actually we have tickets for a scavenger hunt in Bridgeport if you want them?" Robert tells them as he holds the tickets up.

Maya and Josh share a look nodding their heads as they take the tickets. "So are you ready to lose Matthews?" Maya asked as they get in the car and Josh gives her a look. "Oh you think you can beat me Hunter? I'm an expert at scavenger hunts." She laughs as they drive to Bridgeport saying loser had to buy dinner.

Once they get there they go through with the instructions making sure they have their phones. They took off and Maya couldn't help laughing at Josh who was telling her she was going down every time she looked at him. She would just stick out her tongue and shake her head.

"And Maya is the winner!" She shouts dancing circles around Josh who shakes his head at her. "You cheated." Maya laughs as they head towards a little Italian restaurant with Maya holding up the jar of gum balls she won every chance she got.

"I still maintain you cheated." Josh says as they walk in the lobby of the hotel. "Just jealous Boing cause I won." She begins dancing again as Josh moves closer to her taking her jar. "Hey!" She shouts trying to reach it as Josh holds it behind his back.

Maya narrows her eyes at him she tries tickling him but ends up tripping them causing them both to fall. "Ow." He groans as Maya grabs her jar. "Ha!" She says as Josh rolls them over looking down at her. They stare at each other as Josh brushes the hair off her face causing Maya to blush and bite her lip.

He leans down as Maya closes her eyes breathing heavily. She feels his breath on her face and opens her eyes to see him looking at her. "We should go." He says standing up and helping her too. Maya doesn't say anything as she gets on the elevator heading towards their room.
