Starts With Goodbye

"Give Mommy a kiss," Maya cooed, pressing her lips against her son's before laughing and wiping away the slobber off of her lips. "You just slobbered all over Mommy but that's okay," she laughed, as her son started to bounce on her legs as she held his hands. She faked a surprise face at her son at the sound of the door opening, "Look who's home," she continued her baby talk to him before turning her son so he could face the other direction. "Daddy!" she shrieked, waving his hand causing Josh to smile as he walked toward the two.

"Hey, little man, Daddy missed you," Josh kissed his son's forehead while taking one of little hands into his before looking up at his wife and placing a soft kiss on her lips. "Gorgeous. I missed you too."

Maya smiled. "We definitely missed you," she murmured against his lips. "How was your trip?"

"Interesting," he answered, causing Maya to raise an eyebrow as he took Gabriel out of her hands. "How was your movie night with Riley?" he asked, sitting down next to her.

Maya looks at Josh, puzzled, wondering what could have happened. "What do you mean interesting? What happened? You didn't scare Farkle did you?"

Josh chuckled. "No, I was on my best behavior," he promised, adjusting Gabriel so he could stand when he became fussy. "Were you?"

"Are you talking to me or your son?" Maya asked, standing up to go and warm up a bottle for their son, knowing it was almost his bedtime.

Josh pretended to ponder as Maya walked back in the room with a bottle. "Both?" he smiled.

"Well Mommy is only naughty when Daddy is home," she smirked, sitting back down next to him.

Josh gives Maya a seductive look, "Daddy likes."

"I'm sure Daddy does," Maya grinned, leaning over and giving Josh a passionate kiss, only to be broken up by their son's screaming and tantrum. "But obviously this will have to wait until this little one is in bed," she told him as she handed him the bottle and Josh instantly got Gabriel to calm down with it. "Plus, right now, I need you to focus and tell me what was so interesting about your trip."

"Nothing, really," Josh shrugged, knowing Maya was about to flip when he told her Farkle's plans. "Farkle told me he plans on proposing to Riley soon."

Maya's mouth dropped open. "Wait! Farkle told you he plans on proposing to Riley?"

"Yeah," Josh nodded, watching his wife's reaction, closely. "He said why wait when he knows Riley is the one."

Maya's eyes went wide, "Oh no," she said as her heart dropped as she followed Josh into the nursery. "That's bad like really bad."

"What? Why?" he asked, as he gently put an almost sleeping Gabriel into his crib.

"Lucas is back."

"What?!" Josh snapped, before wincing and making sure he didn't wake up his son even more.

Maya nodded, running her hand over her face. "I know. He showed up at Riley's apartment and he wants Riley back. He said he has changed and is going to prove it and try to win Riley's heart back," she told him, once Gabriel was asleep.

"What did Riley say?"

"She just kind of blew it off but I know part of her wants to see if Lucas has changed," she sighed, leaning over and kissing her son goodnight. "What did you say when Farkle told you his plans?" she asked as she switched off the light in Gabriel's nursery and follow Josh into their bedroom.
