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

A/N: Hey guys,

Thank you for all your sweet reviews, you all are awesome!

A few of you asked some questions so here are the answers

Guest: You will find out very soon what Maya did, it's kind of revealed in this chapter x

aliqueen 16: Thanks for the idea! She might appear to Riley, but I think that she's sort of with both Lucas and Riley through her letters. Aubrey will definitely be using her bay window, I don't think Riley will give her a choice! :)

Enjoy,

Lucas's POV:

Dear Lucas

I knew it.

I knew it from the day I pushed her into your lap on the subway. The chemistry that passed between the two of you was undeniable ,and yet I was the only one who noticed. I saw it from the way you clung onto her every word. And the way you looked at her, your eyes betrayed your every emotion.

I hated it at first, I thought that no one could care for Riley as much as I did, but I guess I was wrong. You love her Lucas. I know you do, so don't deny it.

Take your time with Riley, she's hurting. She might push you away, but don't give up on her. She loves you too, she just hasn't realised it. I'm not going to give you a step to step guide from just friends to marriage or anything, I just need you to know that she cares, so don't ever doubt her feelings for you.

Take care of her Lucas, don't allow her to mask her feelings. I know you're a great guy, but if you ever hurt her I swear I will kick your ass from wherever I am. I guess I'm leaving it up to you now, don't screw it up.

Let me guess, you want a piece of advice that will influence your whole life? - here it is

Don't ever change Ranger Rick

Love

Riley's POV

I groan as Lucas shakes me awake, why did today have to arrive so quickly? He continues shaking me until I sit up and give him a death glare.

"Sorry Riles, I had to wake you up. It's your family dinner, remember?"

Shoot, the big dinner. How could I forget?

"Get Aubrey ready, I have a lot to do!" I panic realising that we have to be at my parent's apartment in 25 minutes.

I have a quick shower and put on my dress, I sigh as I realise that the zipper is stuck on the material.

"Lucas, um can I have some help?" I call out. He walks in holding a very brightly dressed Aubrey.

"What the heck is she wearing?"

"I think she looks adorable" he smirks signalling to her I love daddy t-shirt

"Yeah, but she's bright enough to join the circus. Just put her in the dress I bought her last week" he groans and mumbles something about me being jealous of Aubrey's shirt.

"Can you help me zip up my dress?" I blush, as his smirk widens.

"No need to be shy Riles, it's nothing I haven't seen before" he says motioning to my bare back.

I roll my eyes and hit his arm playfully "Lucas you haven't seen anything, stop being such a creep"

"And you wonder why your still single" he mutters

"What did you say?" I raise my eyebrow and give him a stern look

"Nothing! Come on Aubs, let's go change your clothes" he picks Aubrey up and leaves the room

"You still didn't zip up my dress!"


I twist Maya's ring around my finger as we wait for the door to open, let's hope this goes well.

The door swings open and my mom pulls as all into a hug before beckoning us to come in.

Before I can talk to anyone else she pulls me aside, a concerned look on her face. "How are you holding up sweetie? I can tell that you don't tell the whole truth over the phone"

"I'm doing okay. I'm lucky to have Aubrey, Lucas and Ranger with me so I'm not constantly thinking about Maya" I give her a smile, but it falters and she gives me a hug. When I'm around my mom I feel as if I don't have be as strong as I usually am, she has enough strength for the both of us.

"Are you ready to go sweetie?" I nod my head and we go to the living room where most of my family is. I look around at the clusters of people trying to identify who is who. I rack my brain and try to remember the names of people I haven't seen since I was 5.

"Riley, is that you?" I smile as my aunt Morgan approaches me. I hug the blonde women that I haven't seen in three years.

"Hi aunt Morgan, it's good to see you again" I'm genuinely glad to see her, she's kind of the older sister (apart from Maya) I never had.

"Forget about me, what the heck Riley! How come I wasn't invited to your wedding? Oh right your only 23, people at you age are not ready for commitment . Well then, why didn't you tell me you where pregnant? I run clothing stores for goodness sake, I could've given your stacks of maternity and baby clothes. And how about your sexy boyfriend, I feel so out of the loop"

I raise my eyebrow wondering where she got all these ideas from.

"Aunt Morgan..."

Her phone begins to ring and she places her hand on her hip before answering "Don't think your off the hook missy!" she answers her phone and I hear bits of her conversation before she goes into the hallway "I ordered baby blue not ocean blue! This is a disaster..."

Aunts...

"I know, my sister can be a little crazy sometimes..." I turn around at the familiar voice

"Uncle Josh!" I leap into his arms and he laughs.

"I missed you too Riley" he shifts in his places for awhile, before he finally speaks up.

"About Maya... I'm sorry..."

I interrupt him quickly "No it's ok, she was close to you too. There's no need to apologise, we're both heartbroken"

"Thanks. Is the kid Lucas is holding Maya's?" he asks

"Oh yeah, that's Aubrey. She's amazing, I can't see why anyone wouldn't love her"

He smiles and looks over to Lucas and Aubrey

"She kinda reminds me of someone..." I stop him mid-sentence before giving him Maya's letter. He begins to tear it open before I stop him.

"Don't you want to open it alone?" I ask

"Opening it in public will numb the pain. I don't want to wait until I'm alone, that's when the pain will really sink in" he tears it open and begins to read it. Throughout reading it his expression changes from happiness to sadness, from sadness to anger and from anger to absolute shock.

He drops the letter to the ground and turns to look at Aubrey his eyes broadening.

"Aubrey..." he says quietly, his voice trembling.

"What about her?" I question

"She's my daughter"

There it is, I'm not sure how you guys will feel about this. I hope you enjoyed it anyway :)

Until next time,
