Lucas had just finished printing out the last picture of the twins. Since he started traveling for work he bought a camera to capture every city or state he was in. Although he wasn't an experienced photographer he still took them.

So when they went to the secret garden he decided to take his camera and a box of old clothes they had to play dress up with. He snap picture after picture of them having tea and all the little adventures they made up.

He had the pictures all together in a box when he sees Riley's car pull up. He was about to get up when he spots who got out the car. Morgan Matthews. One time friend of Lucas now and probably the president of the I hate Lucas Friar club.

He makes his way to the porch and holds his finger to his mouth. She stops giving him a look when he points in the window. Morgan looked in the window and seen the twins asleep on the couch together.

"Why are they dressed like that?" She asked since Rosie had on a little dress but with an eye patch and Charlie looked like pirate king. He chuckles and holds up one finger as he goes and gets the box of pictures.

He brings it out and sees Morgan sitting in a rocking chair rubbing her head. He sets the box down and sits in the other chair. "You okay?" He asks hesitantly placing his hand on her arm. She looks at his hand and shakes him off standing up.

"Im fine. Are you doing all this so Riley will come back to you? Because if it is I suggest you knock it off right now those kids in there mean more to her then anything in the world." She whisper shouts at him letting her anger from finding out the court date was moved up to next week.

Lucas shakes his head getting up and looking at the twins asleep on the couch. "Look I'm tired of having to prove to everyone that my intentions with the twins is anything but love. I adore those two and it has nothing to do with what I feel for Riley."

Morgan looks at him with wide eyes as she takes a step back. "Sorry." Lucas tells her rubbing her neck. "No I owe you the apology. A lot is happening right now and I took my anger for that out on you." She picks up the box and looks back at the twins.

"I'll make sure Riley gets these." Gesturing at the box before heading back to the car with Lucas following her. "What about the twins aren't you taking them?" She opens the backseat pulling out a bag with a change of clothes for them and blankets.

"Riley thought they might like to spend the night here." Morgan tells him handing him the bag. He grabs it and looks at her as she drives away he heads back inside and carries the twins to their beds.

He wondered why Riley had changed her mind and what was going on with her. But he was starting to wonder if it was his place to know anything.

Riley shook her leg as she downed her fourth cup of coffee reaching for the pot when someone grabs her cup. "You've had enough niche." She smiles and rest her head on the table as her uncle Eric who showed up early in the morning with his lawyer.

"Hey." Riley looks up and Eric grabs her hand from across the table. "Things will work out just have some hope." She smiled but she didn't know if she could since the trial was moved up so quickly.

Eric seeing the look on her face decides to change the subject. "How's the studying going?" Riley smiles sitting up and grabbing her laptop showing him. "Niche this is amazing. I'm proud of you." She let out a little laugh turning the laptop back to her.

Riley was proud of herself too. She had conquered the literary world and now she was ready to move on to the next thing. Going back to school and getting her degree for education. She figured with the twins going to school soon she should too.

Eric smiled as he poured himself some coffee and opens the box Morgan had brought the night before. "So." He tells her sitting at the table looking at the pictures. "What's going on between you and Romeo? Starting something up again?" Riley looked at him over her laptop shaking her head.

"No. We aren't." Riley grabs his coffee and sips it. She sees him looking at her and she smiles. "We aren't I can promise you that. Nothing is going to happen there." He leans forward nodding his head. "Okay if nothing happens with him what about meeting someone else?"

Rikey sighs closing her laptop and folding her hands over it. "Uncle Eric I don't need a man in my life to make me happy." Her phone starts ringing and she gets up to answer it. "I'm perfectly fine without a man." She kisses his head and goes to the living room to answer it.

Riley stood outside holding her shoe and crying while she beat up the fence with her uncle and Missy watching her. "What's going on? How long has she been doing that?" Morgan asked coming out the house.

Eric explained to her that Riley got a call stating that since the trial was the next week that Topanga was trying to get the judge to grant Harvey temporary custody of the twins since technically they were his kids.

Morgab balled up her fist and marched back into the house with Eric following knowing exactly what she was going to do. "Morgan don't do this it won't help Riley's case." She held up her finger as she dialed a number.

"Don't even start with me Joshua Gabriel Matthews give me the address of where they're staying right now!" Eric only ever seen his little sister this angry twice in his life and thankfully he was never on the receiving end.

She writes down the number grabbing her keys and heads out the door with Eric following telling Missy they would be back and keep an eye on Riley for him.

Morgan pressed on the gas clenching the steering wheel in her hand as Eric sat in the front gripping the dashboard. "You know if I wasn't already so pissed off I would find this amusing." She glances at Eric with a small smile which he returned knowing what she was talking about.

She parked the car and before she could get out he spoke. "Dad was scared for his life. And not just because you were going to get your license but the fact you were growing up." Morgan looked at him wiping her eyes smiling. "That's not fair you can't play the dad card on me."

Eric chuckles and gives her a tissue. They had lost him a couple of years ago but it still was like an open wound to her. She sighs resting her head on the steering wheel when she sees Topanga outside on her phone yelling.

She was going to get out when she seen her go back in when Eric's phone rung. Before he could say hello Missy shouted into his ear. "He denied it! Aah!" She started crying and laughing altogether confusing Morgan and Eric who had put her on speaker. "Missy slow down what's happening?"

Missy took a breath and squealed once again. "The judge denied Topanga request to take the twins." She squealed again and Eric and Morgan looked at each other and hugged. "I guess there are people out there who aren't afraid of Topanga Matthews."

"I guess so." Eric laughed as Morgan started the car. "Where's Riley does she know?" Missy sniffed and said she did and went to lay down since she was exhausted from the stress of almost losing the twins. "Okay let her sleep we'll get the kids and Eric can make his famous tacos."

"Oh yum I have all the ingredients too. See ya in a bit." They laugh as Eric hangs up his phone and they drive to the ranch. Eric looks at her when she pulls up but doesn't go all the way to the house. "You aren't about to make us walk to get them right?" He said jokingly.

She shook her head looking at him and gestures to the house. "What are we going to do about that?" He looks between her and the house shaking his head. "Do about what?" She groans and turns his head back to the house where Lucas and the twins were attempting to rope Cletus.

"Morgan whatever happens is her choice. We can't make it for her. We stand behind her like we've had been." She narrows her eyes and smiles at him before hitting him . "Ow!" He shouts rubbing his arm. "I hate that you're right. I just..." she looks at the twins who were smiling and laughing along with Lucas.

"I just don't want them or Riley to be disappointed if something does happen and he breaks her heart." Eric smiles putting his hand on hers. "Riley is a smart girl who knows how to protect herself." Morgan looks at the twins and drives up to the house.

"Uncle Eric!" Rosie and Charlie yelled together running towards him when he gets out the car. "How are my favorite munchkins from oz?" He asks tickling them before he hugged them. "Hey what about me?" Morgan laughs bending down as they run to her.

"Is mama Riley with you we drew her pictures?" The twins asked together as they walked with Morgan back to the house.

Lucas smiled as he watched them go and turned back to Eric who was watching him. He wasn't exactly scared of Eric as he was a bit unsure of him. He heard the stories how everyone saw him as a goofball but Riley always said he was born to do great things. Which he eventually did.

He gulped rubbing his neck as Eric walked towards him. "Hey Eric or should I call you Mr. Matthews?" He asked jokingly. Eric folded his arms across his chest and then smiled when he seen Pappy Joe come out the house.

"Pappy Joe!" Eric cheered as he went over and hugged him. Eric was always fond of him and saw him as a second Mr. Feeny. "How ya been Eric?" Pappy Joe asked as they pulled apart. "I'm good just trying to keep my head above the water."

He nodded and Eric looked over at Lucas. "Think I can borrow your grandson for a second to talk?" Pappy Joe smiled gestures at him as Lucas looked scared. They started walking and Eric had yet to say anything to him and was just looking around the place.

Lucas looked at him rubbing his neck and took a deep breath. "Look I know what you want to asks since it's been the only question anyone has asked me." Eric looked at him with a smile. "I'm not using the twins to get back with Riley. Since they've been here I've grown very fond of them."

Eric chuckles as he pats him on the back. "I wasn't going to ask that question but I'm glad to see your intentions are good." They stop at the barn looking at the horses. "So which one is Fiona and shrek?" Eric asked with a chuckle.

Lucas smiled pointing at the two small ponies in the last stall. A couple of days before his fight with Riley one of the horses was giving birth and since Charlie was Lucas little helper he stood by and assisted him. In being so brave and calm Lucas let him name them and since there were two Charlie asked Rosie for help.

"So you going to tell me I don't deserve Riley or that I don't really love her?" Lucas asked after a few minutes of watching the horses. Eric looked at him and then looked back at the horse he was near and petted him.

"Doesn't really matter what I think. The only opinion is Riley's and not to be mean but anything regarding you is not high on her priority list right now." Lucas chuckled leaning against the wall. "Thanks." Eric looked at him confused and Lucas smiled.

"It just since I found out Riley comes down here and Pappy Joe already threatens to kick my ass but it's nice to hear someone actually tell me the truth in a nice way." Eric still wasn't following so Lucas elaborates.

"I just mean even with all the stupid stuff I did back then Riley was always in my heart and I love her to the best of my ability but I know sometimes that's not enough and I always thought one day we find each other again and since she's been back I've made everything about us and not her and what she is dealing with."

Eric looks at him and chuckles as they walk out the barn. "You're a piece of work Romeo." Lucas smiled at the old nickname from when Riley and him did that play in middle school and high school.

They start walking and Eric sees the twins and Morgan heading for the car when he stops Lucas. "I know you don't know what's going on with Riley and I'm sure she wanted it that way but.." he looks him in the eye and says.

"I need to know when the twins are here you will guard them with your life. Protect them like your own. You understand?"

Lucas nods his head looking over at the twins who were waving at them. "I understand."
