Riley looked ad Lucas was sitting in front in the living room as she had just put Noelle down for her nap. She exhaled as she sat down next to him not saying anything while she knew it was going to be hard on both of them.

"So this is how you feel when you've messed up so badly that you can't even think straight?" Lucas asked as Riley exhaled laying her hand on his back.

"Oh, Lucas. We'll never be perfect. Nobody is perfect. But we have to go around all of that eventually," Riley said as Lucas exhaled.

"Riley, you're perfect. Look how you're raising our daughter on your own," Lucas said as Riley shook her head.

"I've had a lot of help from Maya and Farkle. Even from Josh. I'm everything except perfect. But I'm trying and that's actually all you can do as well. To try. I know you'll be an amazing father to Noelle. You're here now. After a month you're still in New York," Riley said.

"I'm not going to do what Maya's father did to her. I saw how hard she dealt with her past and I don't want our daughter to one day think I just abandoned her," Lucas said.

"She won't ever think that. Hey. You're doing just fine," Riley said.
