Sorry about the delay of the chapter I wanted to make a few changes that bring us to the end of the story. I have decided to continue in a new "book" that I titled Happy Rucas New Year and I'll start posting sometime soon but no more set dates like this because obviously I can't follow through. I will try to post quicker but it depends on the chapter so for now I hope you had a wonderful holiday and I will see you soon.

"We stand around the Christmas tree waiting for some cookies." Maya looked behind her to look at Lucas and Riley decorating sugar cookies. "Hey Ranger Rick, are you and Riles coming to help decorate the Christmas tree?" They all were setting up the decorations for the party that was supposed to happen in a week.

"Well you're the one who mentioned baking cookies for tomorrow. You know Christmas?" Lucas looked at Riley who was struggling to pipe the icing on to the tree shaped cookie. "But we can take a break too help." He took the tube from Riley and walked her over to the tree.

"Here Maya, I made this one for you." Riley took the ornament shaped cookie that was in her hand and gave it to Maya. It was almost a week since Riley had gotten out of the hospital. She had scarcely remembered Shawn but she came around to remembering Maya. Maya realized that being six months pregnant was a pain, quite literally.

Riley still didn't remember the fight between her, Lucas, and her parents. Everyone was relieved at that especially since Christmas was tomorrow. They had to take her back to the hospital in three days for a check up.

Riley was up first in the morning so she figured that she would explore a little more of the almost-new-to-her house. She headed up the stairs and walked all the way to the back room. She slowly opened the door as if to keep it as quiet as possible.

"Wow, look at all the stuff." She walked over to some of the drawers on the left side of the room. As she opened it she saw at least six pairs of ballet shoes three balck and three pink. Leaving the drawer opened as she saw the turn tables in the right corner or the room. "It's looks so new and clean." She heard a noise and quickly turned around. Maya was standing in the doorway and took in the new presents that Lucas and Josh dragged in yesterday while she and Riley were out.

"Riley why don't we," She closed the drawers. " go get breakfast for the boys." She got to Riley. Riley realized that it wasn't a question so she headed for the door and only stopped when she was out of the room. Maya shut the door and took the keys to Lucas's car and they headed out.

They were gone for about an hour but had some breakfast for the boys. The boys had been sitting on the couch since they had woken up. As they heard the door shut they got up and raced to their girls. Josh was a little more carefully and gentle with Maya being pregnant. They went and set out the breakfast as Maya dragged Lucas to the side.

"Riley was in the room but the only things that she had looked at was the shoes and the turntables I was standing there but I wanted to let you know." Lucas nodded and they headed back to the kitchen.

"I could have made breakfast you know. " They all laughed. It was christmas and they were enjoying every minute of it.

A short while later it was present time. Maya handed a small little gift to Josh. It was a small box and it had a baby bear rubber piece on the top next to the blue ribbon tied around the whole box. Josh smiled at the wrapping. Everyone was excited as he opened it to reveal a little picture in black and white. another card in the box was opened and all it said was,

Look at the bottom of the box and all answers to what you think this might be will be answered in three little words. Next to I love you of course.

Love Maya

Josh looked down into the box and saw, It's A Boy!, witten next to it was what the card promised, I love you!, in Maya's hand writing. He looked up at her and he had complete shock on his face while Lucas and Riley grabbed for the box. When Lucas got it he read it out all jumped up and hugged her and then Maya ran to get the next present. This one was from Lucas to Riley. It was a small card and it said,

First I love you, but you'll love second, it's up in the dance room scattered along and after we finish there are clues for you to follow.

Please wait, Lucas

Riley started to tear up, as she hugged as close as she could to Lucas. He kissed her forehead and nodded to Maya to get the next presents. She got up and saw one to Lucas from Riley. She picked it up and gave it to her as she walked over she saw riley not moving away from decided that after her Riley would open the present that she got her. Riley had gotten Lucas a small band that had engraved on the inside, Riley Matthews Loves me forever and always. Maya thought it was much more personal that a note on a card so she got up and picked out a gift that was from Riley to her. As she sat down on the couch again she was already opening her gift. As she got it open she saw a ring. A little more decorated than Lucas's and saw it was engraved with three simple words, Ring power forever. It was so simple yet meant so much.

She told Josh to get Riley the present from her, even though it wouldn't top this at all. Josh handed it to Riley and sat back down on the couch next to his wife as they watched her open two golden rings with tiny diamonds around the entire outside.

"I thought as we grow up maybe our rings should too." Riley immediately took off her old ring and placed the new one on the same finger. Maya did the same. As they did they boys thought about how long ago they had gotten the was when they were in seventh grade so almost fifteen years ago.

After presents Riley And Maya walked around trying to find clues to where they were supposed to go next. As they finish after about an hour. Riley had gotten, a Dj turntable set, ballet shoes, new dance clothes for modern and jazz, and new cds for dance warmups.

It was a really long day but they really wanted one more thing. Riley and Lucas wanted to dance more so they went upstairs and danced to modern trying to copy the dance in Step Up Revolution so they spent the rest of the day practicing. Maya and Josh wanted to sit and watch the beautiful scene so they sat in the new chairs that had plush cushions so they did that. They all enjoyed their Christmas and couldn't wait for the New Year.
