The Little Friar // Lucas Friar

Girl meets Secret of Life Part 2

Ari POV:
After school Lucas and I head straight for Zay's house, and once we arrive I knock on the door.
"Hey sweetie, Hey Lucas it's good to see you again" Mrs.Babineaux says when she opens up the door.
"Hi Mrs Babineaux, it's good to see you again as well" he says.
"Come on in, she's playing with her toys in the living room" she tells us and we both walk in.
"Hey princess" Lucas says happily.
"Dada!" She squeals taking small steps over to us since she's starting to walk.
"Hi Lexi" he says once she gets to him. "I missed you so much" Lucas says picking her up with tears in his eyes.
"Mama wook it's dada" She says happily.
"I know baby I know" I tell her smiling at them.
"You ready to go Lex" he asks. "We gotta go home."
"Toys" She says pointing at the area she was playing in.
"Yeah baby we'll play with toys at home but we gotta clean up first" I say before Lucas goes to help her clean up and I go pack her things up.
Once we're ready we head to Lucas' house and once we enter I am wrapped in a hug from his mother.
"Hi Mrs.Friar" I say.
"Hello Ari, call me Amelia dear how many times must I tell you. Now where's my grandbaby" She asks excitedly.
"Lucas is getting her out of the car" I reply laughing at her enthusiasm as I put the bags down.
"Ohh Lexi, my grandbaby" She says as Lucas walks in.
"Ganny" She squeals again reaching for Amelia who takes her.
"Come on cutie, let's go see your room" She says walking up the stairs.
"Wait what?" Lucas asks.
"This suprise has been a few months in the making and I set up a nursery for this cutie" Amelia says as we follow. Looking around in aw of the room.

"Bunny" Lexi says excitedly as she sees a stuffed bunny. She wiggles down and walks over to grab it in her arms. "Wook dada" She says.
"I see it baby" he says before he grabs her and spins her around. "You like your room princess?" Lucas asks her in a baby voice.
"Ya" she replies nodding while I sneakily take a picture putting it up as my Home Screen.
"Say thank you to grandma" I say and she does. "Okay baby come on, time to eat" I say walking down the stairs so we can go heat up a bottle.
"Baba" she says reaching for it once it's out of the microwave.
"Come on pretty girl" I say as we sit on the couch next to Lucas who looks at us smiling.
"I'm glad we're all together again" he says wrapping his arm around my shoulders as we watch our babygirl doze off.

Lucas POV:
"Al washes a car in six minutes. Fred washes the same car in eight minutes. How long does it take Al and Fred to wash the same car together?" Mr.Matthews asks the next day in class. Both Ari and I just wanted to fall asleep. Lexi was teething right now so she was crying through the night which meant we didn't get much sleep.
"How is this anything?" Riley asks.
"Three minutes twenty-five point seven seconds." Ari and Farkle exclaim causing him to look at her shocked. Ari was at the top of her class back in Texas so she's incredibly smart. Then she got pregnant and missed a bunch of school which caused her to repeat a grade.
"Another genius?" He asks shocked.
"Wrong!" Mr.Matthews exclaims.
"I'm sorry what did you just say?" Farkle asks.
"You're wrong." Mr.Matthews repeats.
"I'm wrong? You're a history teacher teaching English, science, whatever you got going on at home. You waltz your wife in here on career day." Farkle says.
"She's a respected attorney." Mr.Matthews tells him.
"My father said she should've been my mother!" Farkle exclaims.
"What the heck" I hear Ari mumble.
"What do you want from me?" Mr.Matthews asks.
"Mr. Matthew teaches us about a lot of things. He's open-minded that way." I say trying to get Riley off my case.
"He can be open-minded because he knows who we are" Riley says.
"Oh. She took us both out." I tell Mr.Matthews.
"I teach this way because in my old school I had a very strict teacher." He explains.
"Did he teach history, English, or math?" Zay asks.
"I don't know. But in his class there was no talking. No interruptions." Mr.Matthews tells us.
"So you didn't like him?" Ari asks.
"I loved him."
"Then why don't you teach like him?" Farkle asks.
"Because I would never try and be like him. I could only fail. I only succeed you guys if I get my teaching across as effectively as he does." Mr.Matthews asks.
"You do. He does." Maya says.
"Thank you, Maya. And I will now. Al washes a car in six minutes. Fred washes the same car in eight minutes."
"He thinks it's math class! Somebody stop him! You, what's your name?" Zay exclaims.
"Farkle." Farkle responds.
"What'd you call me?" Zay asks shocked.
"My name is Farkle."
"Who would do that to you?" Zay asks.
"Isiah Babineaux" Ari says in a scolding tone.
"Really, The full name?" he asks.
"So your assignment today is to wash a car, together." Mr.Matthews asks.
"With him?" Riley asks.
"Especially with him." He tells his daughter.
"If you do it correctly, You will find the answer is three minutes twenty-five point seven seconds." Farkle says.
"If you do it correctly, You will find the secret of life." Mr.Matthews tells the class and walks out before Ari and I could explain that we had needed to go home.
"I'll text Zay's mom let her know where we'll be" Ari says causing me to nod in response.

Ari POV:
After school we are all taking turns washing the car before Lucas and Riley have to work together to figure out the question. As I sit there watching my phone rings and I pull it out to see Mrs.Babineaux was calling me so I quickly step away from the group and answer.
"Hello" I say picking up the call.
"Hey Ari, Lexi is crying a lot and I've tried to calm her down but I think she just needs her mom and dad" she tells me.
"Okay well you can bring her here and I can try to calm her down" I tell her.
"Oh good cause I was about to be on my way already" she says laughing causing me to laugh as well.
"Can you bring some clothes for Luke his are getting all wet right now" I ask her as I see him getting sprayed with the hose.
"Of course. Be there soon" Mrs.Babineaux says hanging up.
"Babe" Lucas says coming over a little bit later. "I saw you on the phone was that about Lex" he asks.
"Yeah she's crying a lot. Mrs Babineaux is bringing her" I tell him. "And some clothes for you" I say laughing at his appearance.
"Poor princess" he says pouting. "Wanna give me a kiss?" He asks smirking.
"No bubba, you're all wet" I say as he starts to walk toward me. "Noooo" I squeal as I run away.
"Get over here" he says laughing.
"Babe wait that's her car" I say as I see Mrs.Babineaux park and we walk over not noticing everyone watching us.
"Hey princess" Lucas says opening the door and grabbing her out after he changes his shirt to a dry one. "What's wrong?" He asks rocking her in his arms.
"Thank you Mrs.Babineaux" we both say before she drives off.
"Hey baby, your okay" Lucas says as Lexi starts to calm down as we walk back to where everyone is.
"Lucas? Ari?" We hear Riley ask.
"Hey guys what's wrong with Lexi" Zay asks.
"She's teething" I respond taking her in my arms. "Shhh" I whisper as she starts to fall sa sleep.
"Babe can you get the pacifier from the bag?" I ask and he nods passing it over as I put it in.
"Is that your sister?" Farkle asks.
"Or Lucas'?" Maya asks.
"No actually this is our daughter" Lucas says shocking the class.
"Everyone meet Lexi" I say introducing our daughter.
"Daughter?!" Riley yells angrily.
"Yeah" Lucas says nodding before Lexi lets out another cry due to the yelling.
"Shhh it's okay" I coo as she starts to sniffle.
"She's so cute" Farkle says getting over his initial shock before Mr.Matthews comes out and sees Lucas and I with Lexi.
"Is this the baby?" He asks.
"You knew about this?" Riley asks Mr.Matthews shocked and upset.
"It's in their files" he says before he peaks over and looks at Lexi who woke up again. "Aww look at her, she's beautiful" he says.
"Thank you sir" Lucas says taking her back into his arms before Mr.Matthews walks out to his car, Riley following behind him angrily. Oh well, I think to myself.
"You guys are like what 14 how old were you when you had a baby?" Maya asks beyond shocked as they all just stare at us and our daughter.
"We had just turned 12 when we figured out so yeah we were 12 almost 13 when we had her" Lucas replies before looking at a now calm Lexi.
"Dada" she says around the pacifier as she smacks his face.
"Ah ah ah no smacking my face" Lucas says tickling her side.
"He seems like a good dad" Maya comments quietly looking at me.
"He's the best" I tell her smiling.
"Yeah baby that's mama" I hear Lucas say and I look over to see him smiling widely, Lexi in his arms giggling.

A/N: I'm happy that everyone is enjoying the story already, and don't worry more of Riley's reaction from her POV will come soon so hang in there.
