"Please leave your message after the tone"

"Lucas please answer me. Please come back!" I sob

"Please leave your message after the tone"

I bite my lip trying to hold in my sobs

" I found out what we're having. It's a girl. Please come back" I whisper as I hang up.
Once again, it's been 2 months without an answer. I bury my head in my pillow as my tears run down my face

By the third ring the phone was answered

"Lucas! You answered! I knew I knew you just needed time to think and you would answer I knew it. I told them you won't leave me. I -" I was cut off by the voice

"Excuse me! I'm sorry to tell you but you have the wrong number"

My mouth fell open as I felt the tear form " T-this isn't L-ucas?"

"No ma'am"

"Oh. I'm sorry I won't call again" I say as I hang up the phone.

I grasp my chest as I feel an enormous pain run through my body. I fall to the floor as my body goes numb. His gone, he really left us.

"Why Lucas why! She's about to be born! WHY!" I yell as I throw the phone at the wall and bury my head on my knees.

I come back to reality as I hear Hope come through the door

"My food!" She yells as she run to Maya whose mouth is full

"Sorry we're late we got distracted" he chuckles as he take off his coat

I quickly make my way to him "why didn't you answer my call? I called you again and u didn't answer!?" I say as I move closer to him

"Riley" Maya says softly

Charlie looks at me with sadness in his eyes. He gives me a small smile as he places both of his hand on me cheeks. Making me look him in the eyes.

"Riley" he sighs" I'm coming back I'm not leaving. My phone died and I'm sorry that you felt that way again."

I move my eyes away from him as I try not to cry

"Hey look at me. I know how you feel when you don't get an answer. I was there when he didn't answer"

I can feel the lump forming in my throat as I look at him

" I will always answer. I will never leave okay I'm not going to leave" he say as he bring me into a hug

"I'm sorry. It just reminded me" I say as I hug him tighter

"Mommy are u okay?" Hope say as she comes closer to us

I quickly wipe my tears and face her
" of course I am I just missed you two so much" I say as I hug her

"Mommy I lost my dolly today but cowboy rescued it!" She says as she goes to pick up belle

"Cowboy? Who's cowboy?" I say I sit in the couch. Hope quickly comes and sits on my lap

"One of daddy's friend! Right daddy" she says as she looks at Charlie

"That's right Hope. It's an old friend from when I was a kid." He say taking a sit

"Some old friend who helped him milk them coooowwwwssss" Maya says in a accent

"Oh shut up Goldie locks" Charlie says laughing

"You are so bad at this" Maya said walking away with more food

"Does this cowboy have a name?" I ask

"Oh yea his names -"

"Uncle farkly is back with more sweets!" Farkle yells coming through the door

Hope laughs and runs to Farkle poking him for snacks.

"What were you saying" I say as I turn to Charlie

"I was just tell you that his name is L-"

"We're here!" We here the buzzer go off

"Grandma! Grandpa!" Hope yells running to the door trying to open the door

We laugh as I stand up and let them in. They hug her and right behind them is the whole Matthews's clan and Minuks clan and hunters.

It was are grand reunion to celebrate Farkle coming back and getting everything ready for Christmas.

I was getting more food on the plates when I hear Hope playing with her dolls

"Ooh cowboy Luke! You are so kind"
" I couldn't let a princess be sad" Hope says as she bring the boy doll closer to belle

I smile as I look at her play. She looks up at me and hold up the doll

"This is daddy's friend Luke. He's a cowboy so he helps belle mommy. He helped me so his a hero."she says with a big smile

" yes he is baby" I say smiling at her

Whoever you are Luke you made my daughter smile. So for that you are a hero.
