I walk into the apartment with Cory. I had the pictures in my back pocket. Riley, Lucas, and Farkle all ran out of Riley's room.

"Hey, I got them." I say.

"I wanna see my little niece or nephew!" Riley runs toward me. Lucas was right behind her. But Farkle stayed in his place.

"Don't you want to see him or her?" I ask Farkle. He snakes his head,

"I'm just going to go back in here." I knew he was hinting me to come there after I was done showing them. I focused back on Riley and Lucas. I pulled out the pictures and showed them to them.

"Aw, so cute," Riley says with a smile plastered onto her face.

"Okay, I'm really confused right now." It never came into my mind that we never told Auggie about the baby. But now he reminded me.

"Oh," I hand Riley and Lucas the pictures and walk over to Auggie. I look at Cory and Topanga and they give me nods. "Okay, Auggie, I know this is a little strange, but I'm going to having a baby."

He looks at me kind of funny. "Like in there?" He points to my stomach.

"Yes Auggie, in there." He smiles.

"I could be like a brother, or an uncle. I'd be the cool uncle." He says, making Lucas look at him.

"Hey." Lucas says, bringing his hand to his chest, pretending to be offended. I chuckle at them. I take the pictures from Riley and walk to her room, where Farkle was waiting.

"Hey." I sit down on the bed next to him. He just sits there. I wrap my arms around him. "Farkle, I honestly thank you for your offer." He knew I was talking about him being a father figure.

"For now, I'll accept your offer." I tell him. He looks at me happily.

"Really?" He asks with a smile in his face.

"Yes, but if you need to drop out at any time from the position I'm okay with it. I'll understand." I tell him. He gives me a huge hug.

"Oh, Maya I love you!"

I pulled away to give him a questioning look. His face was beet red.

"I-I... I didn't mean it..."

I thought about it for a second, "Well, you are my husband! Since your the father, I'm your wife!" I smile at him. His redness lessens and he smiles too.

"I missed your smile, Maya." He says. We sit there smiling like idiots for a while. Until I remember the pictures.

"Oh, here's the pictures." I tell him. He looks at them. He starts going into more detail than the Sonographer did to tell me what parts of the baby were what. I smile at his knowledge. I never thought I'd hear something like this out of him.

He gives me back the pictures, and I realize something. How could I not have recognized it before? Was I that blind not to see that..

Farkle actually does like me...
