The Parent Project

Riley's POV

We were walking out of the school building. When I had to say, "BAY WINDOW... Bay window one last time... All four of us, before we have to move out, in 2 days. Mrs Ferria said, we must each take half of our kids home for one night and our partners take the other half to their house, so Maya the two of us will officially have the very last bay window time." "OK. But Riley, I'm asking if I can stay with you guys for that one night. My kids are not going to my house," Maya said. "Oh, I see mommy has already kicked in," Farkle said and we all laughed except for Maya. "You know what else has kicked in, the urge to hurt you,"Maya said. Farkle stopped laughing and Maya joined Lucas and I in laughing. We all walked to my apartment and I buzzed us in. We walked up the stairs; towards my door and I unlocked it and we all walked in. "You guys are leaving, no fair. You'll are going to be parents. Who are your partners?" my dad bombarded us with statements and a question. "Farkle, " I said. "Riley," Farkle said. Lucas and Maya just pointed to each other. "Mr Matthews , can I please stay here tomorrow night with half my kids," Maya asked. "You and Lucas are cutting your kids in half cause you'll totally fail,if -" Maya cut my dad off by saying . " We are not cutting our kids in half. Riles and I take some and Farkle and Ranger Rick take some, " Maya says. " OK then sure you can stay," my dad says."OK thanks," Maya said. We all sat on the couch. My dad sat in the single one. Farkle sat on the edge of the big couch, I sat next to him, Maya sat next to me and Lucas sat next to her.

Maya's POV

Lucas's phone rang.
"Excuse me," Lucas said. "Cowboy, who is it?" I asked. He got up from the couch."Just my mom, don't worry about it, babe," he said laughing. "Do not call me babe," I said annoyed, he laughed and said "I gotta take this, my love," he laughed again. "Ohhh," I retaliated. Everyone started laughing.

Lucas's POV

I heard everyone laughing so I went to Riley's room and answered my phone.
(Phone conversation)
Me: Hi, mom. What do you need?
Mom: Hi, my son. I need you to come home now.
Me: What school just ended and I'm with the gang, we are at Riley's place.
Mom: I want you home to rest, tomorrow is a big day. Who is your partner?
Me: Mom, it's five o'clock. And Maya.
Mom: I have always liked her-
Me: I know, now she is the mother of my kids.
Mom: OK, that needs some getting used to.
Me: I know, me too. But, yeah, fine. I'm on my way.
Mom: Thank you. Love you.
Me: Love you too. Bye.
Mom: Bye, Lucas.

[End of phone conversation]

I walk back into the living room, to see all of them laughing.
"Why are you guys laughing?" I asked. "Oh...we were all just talking about tomorrow and the year ahead of us, when Riley asked what would happen if you dress our son in a cowboy outfit," Maya said, " then I said I would chase you around the apartment until I am able to kick you." "Well then I'm canceling my order of a baby cowboy outfit," I said and Maya and I just laughed. "Baby?" Riley said confused. "Yeah...we agreed on having a baby son," I said. "Ohhh..."everyone said in unison. "Well, anyways... I have to go, my mom wants me at home," I said,"Bye Mr Matthews. Bye guys, see you tomorrow," I kissed Maya's forehead," Bye my blonde beauty."

Maya's POV
The three of us just spent hours talking. I left at 10:00pm.
