I do not own Girl Meets World or anything you may recognise.

A/N: I would like to give a shout out to Pony-Edward-Lucas' Girl your reviews are always so sweet, they make my day, thank you!

Riley's POV

As we drive to my apartment, I gaze out the misty window of the car. The streets are lit by the neon lights of the clubs and bars shinning on the rain-kissed sidewalks. The stars hang effortlessly in the sky, drawing your attention away from the world below.

I wonder if Maya has a better view of the stars from where she is, maybe she's painting the stars right now. I wonder if she's happy with my decision, is this what she wanted? I turn around and look at the small baby sleeping in the backseat. She's my reasonability now, everything I do affects her.

"Riley are you ok? you look worried" Lucas asks me with a small frown

"I'm ok, I'm just thinking about a lot of stuff" I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear, and look at the bright city once more.

"What are you thinking about" he pushes. I tilt my head, so my hair is a curtain covering my face.

"I'm just worried, I guess. I know that I'll never be half the mother Maya was, and I'm scared I'll mess up" He glances at me before focusing on the road again.

"Riley you'll be great. Maya knew what she was doing when she put your name down, she trusted that you would do the best that you can, and you will"

"Thanks Lucas, I know you'll be amazing too"

We arrive at my apartment and Lucas carries Aubrey inside, he sets her gently down in her Moses' basket in the living room.

"So Riley, I think we need to talk about a few things" Lucas says whilst sitting down on the sofa "About where we are going to live, should I move out of my flat since yours is bigger or should we buy a new flat altogether?"

I am silent for a moment before responding "I think we should buy a new flat. This place has too many memories, I just think that we should live somewhere else that has no memories attached"

His eyes soften before he speaks "Yeah, I think so too. And about Aubrey, soon she'll begin talking, and I was wondering... who will we be to her? And how about when she's older, won't she ask questions? I just, don't know" I laugh as he pulls his hand through his hair in frustration. I freeze at the sound of my own laughter, the sound is almost foreign to me. I didn't realise it had been that long since the last time I had laughed. I look up at Lucas who has a huge dorky grin on his face.

"There's the laugh that I love, is the real Riley Matthews finally coming back to us?" he teases

I shake my head and sigh "I don't think she ever will"

Lucas expression falls a little, his eyes drop to the floor and he drags a hand through his hair again. "This is going to be hard for all of us Riley, especially you. I know how important Maya was to you, but we've gotta get through this. There's someone that's depending on us now, Aubrey needs us, she needs you Riley, the real you. She needs your goofiness and loving nature in her life, Maya wouldn't have wanted her death to affect who you are"

I look up into his green eyes, before a single tear rolls down my cheek "I know" I whisper.

He gently wipes away my tear and we don't speak for a while until Lucas interrupts the silence.

"Do you wanna go to bed?" he asks

I nod my head and he begins making his way to the guest bedroom, before I stop him.

"Lucas, can we sleep together tonight?"

"Of course" he lifts the basket Aubrey's sleeping in to my room, and we get into my bed together. He wraps his arms around my waist, and I bury my head into the crook of his neck before falling asleep.

2 AM

I feel someone gently shaking me, I groan and roll over not ready to wake up yet.

"Riles, Aubrey's crying" Lucas's voice is rough with lack of sleep. We both look at each other in the dark, clueless of what to do.

"Welcome to parenthood" Lucas says sarcastically "I'll go make her a bottle"

I watch Lucas leave the room and I look over to the small crying baby, I drag myself out of bed and pick up Aubrey. Her small screams fill the room and fresh tears stream down her face, I gently rock her whilst pacing the room. She continues crying her face turning a bright red, I pat her back gently attempting to calm her down.

"I've got her bottle, I made it too hot the first time so I had to redo it" Lucas hands me the bottle and I place it against Aubrey's lips, but she won't take it.

"Lucas she won't take it, Maya didn't feed her from a bottle" I begin to rock her faster, but fail to calm her down. Tired from standing I sit down on my bed, and Lucas tries to give her the bottle again, thankfully she takes it, and her big blue eyes are glazed from her tears . Lucas strokes her soft curls and she slowly closes her eyes. Lucas looks at me, a boyish grin playing on his lips.

"I can't believe we put her to sleep" he says as he places her in her basket.

"Yeah, we make a pretty great team" I say whilst yawning.

We get under the covers and Lucas kisses my forehead before I close my eyes

"Goodnight Riley"

I wake up to the brightness of the sun blinding my vision. I turn over to find Lucas sleeping peacefully, I feel myself smiling at his quiet snoring finding it adorable. A soft cry comes from the basket and I pick Aubrey up, rubbing her back soothingly until her whimpers soften.

"Hey Aubs, are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat"

I carry her in her basket to the kitchen and begin making her milk. I feed her and after about half an hour she falls asleep. I begin frying some eggs, and turn on the radio.

"Oh, I love this song!" I grab a wooden spoon and begin singing along, enjoying myself way too much to care "I still get jealous" I sing, my voice soaring ,completely out of tune with the music. I swing my hips dramatically whilst clutching the spoon trying to reach the higher notes "your too se..." I pause my "performance" at the faint sound laughter. I turn around to find Lucas holding his phone up, a mischievous grin spread across his face.

"You better not have been recording me!" I threaten

"Oh, you know I did" he smirks

"I'm am so going to kill you, give me your phone!"

"Only if you can catch me" he teases, as he runs down the hall. I run after him, laughing lightly, until I smell smoke.

"Shoot, the eggs!"

A/N: I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter! Just to make it clear Lucas and Riley are not dating...yet. But who knows what could happen in the future? *hint hint* Also Lucas is 24 and Riley is 23 sorry I didn't mention it before. I do not own "Jealous" by Nick Jonas, it's an amazing song though, am I right? Until next time,
