The next day, the couple headed to the beach right outside of their hotel. They set down their blankets and Riley laid down on hers.
"You're not coming in the water?" Lucas asked his new wife.
"Yeah, just give me a few minutes to relax first," Riley said.
The relaxing didn't last long, because ten minutes later, Lucas was talking with a girl, who wanted to do much more than talking. She had her arm on his flirtily and by the way she was looking at him, it was more like he was a piece of meat than an actual person.
Riley stomped over to her husband and put her arms around his left arm.
"Hi, husband," she said, glaring at the girl.
What a surprise, she thought, it's another Missy.
The girl scoffed and left. Lucas looked down at Riley in amusement.
"What?" she said.
"You're cute when you're jealous," he said.
"I wasn't jealous," she countered. "I just didn't like her hanging over you like you were a piece of meat."
"Jealous," he sing songed.
Riley brushed him off and headed into the water.
They played in the water until it got to lunchtime. Then they headed up to their room, dropped off their stuff and headed to a shack restaurant right down the street.
"Burgers." Riley's mouth watered as she read the word on the large menu. Lucas laughed. "What?"
"You always get so excited about burgers. Why?" he asked.
"Because I love burgers."
And love burgers she did, because while he got the fish and chips, she did get the burger.
"So," Lucas said when they had ordered their meal, "I think we should talk about kids."
"Oh," Riley said.
"We already said last night that both of us wanted them, but don't know when."
"Well, we've already settled into our jobs. That's one of the big things I wanted before I had kids."
"That's one of the reasons we waited two years to get married." He took her hands in his.
"So, wait a year? Your parents were…what…when they had you?"
"Twenty-one or so," Riley said. "But that's because they talked about it for a little more than two days. This is a conversation we should've had when we were talking about our futures during college and when we moved to New York."
Riley was trying to keep her voice down as the food came. She didn't want to make a big scene in the restaurant, but she did agree with the idea that they should have talked about kids when they were planning the wedding.
Lucas knew better than to anger his wife further. He had been with her for years. Throughout the those, he had learned what made her mad and what calmed her down. Not planning was one of the things. Though they had just really started talking about the subject of kids last night, they had never really had a serious conversation about the subject.
Finally, Riley let it out:
"I've been doing some thinking, and I want a kid."
Lucas looked up with a fry in his mouth in surprise.
"Now?" he mumbled through his dinner. He swallowed. "Like now now?"
"Well, we're both really settled into our jobs, and we have a good pay income. We live right next door to Maya and Farkle so they can babysit if we need to. And we have always joked about using that guest room in the apartment for a baby room."
Lucas smiled.
"Sounds like a grand idea." He kissed his wife.
Maya's cell phone ringtone rang throughout the restaurant and Riley picked it up.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Hello? Riley?" Maya's voice came through loud enough that Lucas could hear the conversation.
"Yeah, it's me and Lucas. Watcha need?"
"Did you know Farkle is proposing?"
Lucas and Riley looked at each other in shock.
"W-What would make you think that? That's crazy talk!" Lucas said into the cell phone he had just stolen from Riley.
"Because I found the ring!" Maya shouted.
Crap, Lucas and Riley mouthed to each other.
"That wasn't supposed to happen for a few weeks!" Riley said.
"Yeah, well, I found the ring in his bedside table."
"Well, you're going to say yes, right?" Lucas said.
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while.
"Maya? Are you still there?" Riley questioned.
"No," Maya said.
"Huh?"
"I'm going to say no."
"W-What? Why?" Riley sputtered.
"Because we're not right for each other! I love him to death, but I've never been the kind to seem to get married!"
Riley's and Lucas's eyes met each other's in panic.
This Honeymoon was the perfect week people said it was.
"Um…we're in the middle of dinner? Can you wait until we get back in a week to freak out? Please? Maybe you'll change your mind," Riley said.
"No, I won't change it. And I'll see you in a week, but I'm sure seeing you two won't change my mind."
Maya hung up then and Riley looked at Lucas, shock written all over her face.
"What? What's wrong?" he asked.
"She's going to say no," Riley answered.
I know, I know! I was on vacation and I was going to upload a new chapter on Saturday, but things came up, and I couldn't. So, there it was! Til next time!
