Riley's outfit: Yellow shirt, blue skirt, yellow choker, black vans, and half ponytail with curls.

In Mr. Matthews Class.

Riley walks in a little early. It's been two weeks since Farkle and Riley told their parents. They found an apartment and are all moved in. It's a 4 bedroom in the same apartment as Riley's parents.

Cory: Hey, sweetie.
Riley: Hi, Daddy.
Cory: What's wrong?
Riley: Farkle and I got into a fight last night.
Cory: Wanna tell me?
Riley: I mean, I guess.

Riley starts to tell her father about her fight with Farkle.

(Flashback)

It's the night before.

Farkle walks in from working at Topangas. Riley is nowhere to be found, and Farkle walks upstairs to see Riley moving things around in their room.

Farkle: What are you doing?
Riley: Rearranging the room.

Riley starts to lift the mattress off of the frame, and Farkle runs to her and stops her.

Farkle: You can't lift heavy things while pregnant.
Riley: Stop babying me, I'm fine!
Farkle: I don't want anything to happen to you or our baby.
Riley: You're treating me like a kid. I'm not a kid, Farkle.
Farkle: I'm not. I'm trying to take care of you like a boyfriend is supposed to do for his pregnant girlfriend.
Riley: You're treating me like I'm helpless.
Farkle: I am not!
Riley: Yes, you are! You won't let me do anything! You won't let me leave the apartment by myself!
Farkle: I want you and our child safe!
Riley: And we are safe!
Farkle: I'm going to sleep on the couch tonight.
Riley: If you're going to do that, make your own dinner!
Farkle: And I will!

Farkle walks out of the room, and Riley closes the door and starts crying.

(End of Flashback)

Riley: He was gone when I woke up.
Cory: You guys will get through this.
Riley: I don't know.

Farkle walks in and looks at his girlfriend and her father and takes his seat behind her with no word to her. Everyone else walks in.

Cory: We're going to have a debate. Riley and Farkle, you'll start.
Riley: I don't want to, Daddy.
Cory: You gotta do it.

They stand up.

Farkle: What's the topic?
Cory: Why is it important to let or not let your partner do things they feel like they can do even in their condition?
Farkle: OH.

Farkle looks down.

Cory: Riley, you start.
Riley: I personally feel like people should let their partner do what they feel like they can do in their condition. For example, if the one partner is pregnant and  to rearrange things, but their partner wants to baby them and won't let them do it.
Cory: Farkle?
Farkle: I feel like it's not important to let your partner do what they feel like they need to do in their condition. I feel that way because it could really hurt them or whatever it may be. It's not considered babying if the partner just loves their partner so much and wants nothing to happen to them or the baby if the case is that they're expecting a baby.
Riley: Whatever.

Riley storms out of the classroom.

Cory: Go talk to her.
Farkle: Whenever I do. We end up fighting. Well, since last night.
