This is our Life

Chapter 50

Rachel Pov
I can't believe I'm getting another shot with Eric! For the last few years I have felt horrible, for leaving him and leaving Jack as well. I'm going to Cory's tonight, to have Thanksgiving with them, and it's the first time in years that I'll be seeing Amy and Alan. I'm extremely nervous, and I hope they'll accept me into their family once more. I step out of my apartment, hand in hand with Eric. The cool but soothing November air pushes past me, as we make our way to the subway.

Eric Pov
I'm with the love of my life. RACHEL! I feel so lucky that she came back to me, even though my best friend has probably gotten his heart broken into pieces, stepped on, the spit on and thrown into a dumpster. But anyways, feeling great.

Lucas Pov
After Riley told me she was pregnant again, I was in shock. She said that she already told her parents, but wants to tell the rest of our family tonight. At 6 months pregnant, she's showing, and it's quite obvious. She's tried to disguise it from Smackle and Maya, and it wasn't too hard, them being tired and stressed as well. I take my gorgeous fiancé's hand and help her into the subway. Where we met, embraced, fell in love, and began the journey of life.

Riley Pov
I'm not gonna lie, being pregnant kinda sucks. My arms feel like they weigh a million pounds, my ankles feel like bricks, and I have to pee every 10 minutes. At least I having my gorgeous prince to help keep me sane. I hold Mathew's carrier, and Lucas and I take a seat on the train. I stare into his sparkling emerald eyes, his chiseled features, and his charming smile, that I fall in love with every single second of the day.

Farkle Pov
Seeing my fiancé pregnant is incredibly confusing. One minute she's happy, another she's eating ice cream and watching The Notebook. Just make a choice! You're either perky and jumpy, or sad and moping around. Why, oh why must this be so complicated? Although, I'm scared to wonder what Maya and Josh are going through.

Smackle Pov
Oh the mood swings! Sitting in the car is bad enough, I feel like crying every time a Taxi driver honks their horn. I burst into laughter every time I see a wiener dog. Maybe I should have memorized that pregnancy handbook..

Josh Pov
So we finally get to Cory's, after Maya thumped up the steps. It took 20 whole minutes! Exhausted from piggy-back riding her the last 4 flights of stairs, I open the door, to reveal a crying Smackle, an overjoyed Rachel, who's chatting with Mom, and Lucas looking bright and cheery. Wow, Riley is incredibly influential.

Maya Pov
Being pregnant isn't as nice as you would think. I've had to get Josh to do basically everything for me, as I look like a bloated whale, and im so tired that I have to sit down every 5 minutes. It sucks, not being able to do anything, and always enlisting other people to do it for you.

Shawn Pov
I'm so proud of Maya, building a life for herself. She got married to a wonderful man, she managed to get into a great college, and study something she loves, and now she's having a baby! Oh no, now I'm grandpa Shawn. I'm losing my cool so quickly, even Auggie is probably cooler than me now. Just great.

Katy Pov
Awe, my baby girl is all grown up! She's really taken her life into her own hands, and managed to make me proud of her every single day. She's strong, brave, forgiving, and protective. She's going to be a great mother.

Auggie Pov
Finally Joshie and Maya got here! "Let the feast begin!" Mom announced, and I rushed over to the table, starving. "I'm telling you Topy, you have to make the volcano of mashed potatoes before you fill it up with gravy lava!" Dad protested, gesturing to Riley's perfectly made potato volcano. Mom grunts, and Dad shrieked, holding onto Uncle Shawn.

Rachel Pov
I laugh as Maya and Riley give exasperated looks at Cory. Once we've gulped down our feast, we gather around the couches once more.
