Rucas Meets Gender:
Riley's POV:
Dr. Bailey handed me an envelope and I slowly opened it. I pulled out the piece of paper and the gender of the baby was… A BOY AND A GIRL?! WERE HAVING TWINS! Lucas was smiling from ear to ear. Riley knew how much Lucas wanted to have a son. "We're having twins" I said to myself and Lucas put his hand on my belly. "Can't wait to see you my little man." He said as he kept his hand on my belly. I gave him a look. "And baby girl." He added on. "Well congratulations to you both again, we will schedule another appointment in 4 weeks." Dr. Bailey said as we got up and left.
Lucas's POV:
We're having twins. I couldn't be happier. They could be best friends and we can teach them how to protect each other. I can teach my little girl all about animals and my son all about cars and many things. So many thoughts were going through my head but then I realized that we were still in the parking lot. I helped Riley into the car and we drove off. "So, I'm thinking another dinner party to reveal the gender of the babies, what do you think?" Riley asked. "That sounds fun, we always hosts the best parties. Remember college?" I asked with a smirk. Riley smiled. "Yes I do, but we are not going to go that crazy. Just a simple dinner party. Like last time and then I get to watch my dad beat you at football again." she teased. We spent the whole car ride teasing each other and then we finally made it back home.
We decided to go out to dinner tonight but Riley turned it into a double date and invited Maya and Farkle. They did live next door to us. So we took a shower and got ready. They came over to our house around five. We did our usual greetings and I had told them Riley was still getting ready so Maya decided to go help her and that left Farkle and I in the living room.
Riley's POV:
I had no idea what to wear. It was hard especially since I was pregnant. "Hi sweetie!" I heard someone say. I turned around and it was Maya. "Peaches!" I said as I ran over to give her a hug. "Having trouble figuring out what to wear?" She asked. "No, not anymore I decided to a light pink flowy blouse with white high-waisted pants and white wedges." I said. "That's cute, so did you guys find out what gender the baby is?" She asked. "Yes, we did but you guys will not find out until the Friday night dinner." I said as I grabbed my bag and we met the guys downstairs. We headed out to dinner.
It was a Wednesday night and we were preparing for the Friday night dinner. I wanted to decorate the house but I had to leave it to my husband to do all the hard work since I couldn't do anything at all. I had to convince him to let me shop for the decorations and he finally came around. We went out to the party store and bought anything we liked that was baby blue but I decided to add pink in there so that it would leave a mystery. Even though I was having both a boy and a girl. We then went to the grocery stores where Lucas pushed me around on the car. I know we were acting like children but we didn't care who was staring. We were just being us.
As soon as we got home, we put everything away and I decided to design some of the plain decorations we bought and I put together the cupcake holder. Although, I didn't get away with it because Lucas had walked in on me building it and took over. This boy is driving me crazy. Anytime I would try to do anything he would pop up and do it instead. I tried to make a sandwich and then Lucas took over. I tried put the bags away, Lucas took. I tried to use the bathroom but Lucas attempted to help but I gently pushed him out of the bathroom and locked the door. I wanted to go on a drive but knowing Lucas, he wouldn't let me so I walked over to Maya's before Lucas saw me.
Maya opened the door. She immediately knew what was wrong. "Hopalong is suffocating you isn't he?" she asked. "Yes, I love that boy but I need to be able to do something!" I said. "Well, come on in my darling." She said. We sat down on her couch and she made us some tea. "So, do you need me to talk to him for you?" she asked. "No, I mean I love everything he has done. I mean he's spoiled me and carried me around, he's done all the cooking and cleaning. He tried to help me use the bathroom and I was not going to let him cross that line. I will talk to him about it but I just don't want him to get mad. I know he has good intentions but he is driving me insane." I said as I took a sip of tea. "What have you done to that cowboy, He loves you so much. That boy would even move mountain for you if you ask him to. My point is, you guys have fought so many times, but you guys always end up making up after. Just talk to him about it because he will never leave your side, he has so many reasons to stay with you and the baby is one of them." Maya said.
I knew she was right. Then my cell phone buzzed. It was a text from Lucas asking where I was. "Well, Lucas is wondering where I am." I said. "Aw but pretty little liars is on. Tell him you're going to stay and watch PLL with me" Maya begged. I decided to call Lucas and tell him.
B- Riley
B- Lucas
"Hey, sorry if I left out of the blue like that, I'm at Maya's."
"Well, thank god you're safe. I was freaking out a little bit. How long are you going to be there?"
"Well, she's begging me to stay and watch PLL with her, so I'll be another hour. Then I'll come home."
"Okay, but be careful walking back. It is dark out and I don't want anything to happen to you. I love you."
"It's a five second walk. But I'll be careful don't worry. I love you too. See you soon."
I hung up the phone and went to go join Maya on the couch. "Looks like I'm staying." I said. "YAAY!" she yelled. We spent the rest of the night gossiping and watching PLL and then I realized it was time for me to go. We said our goodnights and I walked back home. When I got inside, I couldn't find Lucas anywhere. "Babe?" I said. No answer. "I'm home. Lucas?" I said again. No answer. I went upstairs and found Lucas asleep with a rose in his hand. I smiled and walked over to him, took the rose and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Then I went and got ready for bed.
I couldn't sleep at all that night. When I was calling out Lucas's name, I thought to myself, what if I didn't find him in this bedroom? What if something bad had happen to him? What if I had lost him? I knew I wouldn't be me anymore if he left my side. In that moment I realize I shouldn't complain about everything he has been doing for me, I should feel grateful. People like him are hard to find in this cruel world. I moved closer to him and rested my head on his chest. I felt him move.
"Hey, when did you get back?" he said in a sleepy voice. "About five minutes ago, I didn't mean to wake you. I just couldn't sleep." I said. Before he could say anything else, he put his arm around me and fell back asleep. I held onto him very tightly because those thoughts in my mind made me never want to leave or go anywhere without him. I know we may be super clingy with each other but that's what makes us, us.
I think I am going to stop right here. The next chapter is going to be the dinner party where everyone comes down and also someone very special shows up at the party. Stay tuned xx
