Maya

I've had people tell me their sorry and congratulations. I don't think Eric understands..

Shawn and my mom have been getting congratulated a lot. I'm glad my mom has moved on and chose Shawn.

"Hey mom?" I walk up to her.

"Yes baby?" She says with a smile.

"I was wondering... Uh.. When you two get married, if my last name can change to Hunter-Hart? I just want to know I'm also part of Shawn's life." I admit to her, she smiles at my idea.

"I'm totally fine with the idea, but it's Shawn's last name. You'll have to ask him." I didn't really want to ask him now, so I would do it later.

"Hey Riles." I walk over to her. She smiles at me.

"Hi Peaches." She hugs me, I'm not sure why though. "I'm glad your mom said yes. Her and Shawn go well together." She says.

"Yeah, I'm glad they- OH!" I accidentally yell. I had no idea what the feeling was. It didn't really hurt...

I motion for my mom and Topanga to come to me, and they do. They ask me what was going on, I didn't really know.

"I don't know. I felt something, it was odd. It didn't hurt but I felt like.. I don't know." I say nervously.

"Was he or she kicking?" Topanga asks. I had never really thought about it, maybe that's what it was. Oh it felt so weird.

"Maybe, it felt like a stab on the inside. It was like that taser thing people used to do with their fingers. Buzz." I 'tase' my mom. She screams a little, then laughs.

"Wow. I can't believe he or she is kicking so early." My mom says. I put a hand on my stomach.

"Hey, I don't know if it's normal in this house, but there's someone crying their eyes out in the bathroom." Jack walks away from the bathroom. I was the first to go check it out.

I make it to the bathroom and crack the door, people behind me. I see Josh.

"It's Josh." I say quietly, but everyone starts talking, which gives away out cover.

"Go away!" Josh yells. Why was he in there? Relationship problems? I don't know.

I hold up a finger to signal for one minute and step I side the bathroom. He looks at me for a second and says, "I'm sorry Maya." Why was he sorry?

"For what?" I sit next to him, but he doesn't react I couldn't do much now because of my actions to him in the past. I was a little creepy.

"We had a party and everyone was drinking and playing truth or dare.." He sobs out.

"Josh, I don't understand." I explain to him once again. I was actually kind of scared to know what was going on.

"I'm sorry... I've caused it Maya." He says.

"You've caused what? Spit it out!" I say.

"I've caused your child Maya!"

I just stare into his eyes. My emotion slowly changing as his stayed. I got up and starting waking back.

"Maya please wait! We were all drunk and I barely remember doing it. Someone sober told me where I came back from."

"Y-You drugged me." I stutter, my hand on the doorknob.

"No I didn't." He says. I open the door and walk out. Everyone had scattered, I walk out, scared.

"What's wrong, baby girl?" My mom asks. I swallow hard.

"I- uh.." I mess with my hands. "I need Shawn. Window." I think of that fast. He jumps us and follows me.

I close the door to Riley's room. We sit at the window.

"What's wrong?" He asks me. I take a deep breath in.

"It was Josh." I tell him, he gives me a strange look.

"What do you mean?" He questions. I take another breath and say,

"Josh did it Shawn. He did it." Emphasizing the word it makes it more clear of what I was trying to say

"You mean it? I'm sorry Maya but he wouldn't do that." He tries to deny it.

"He just admitted it to me Shawn, I don't know what to do." I mess with my hands, "He said it wasn't on purpose. He said they played truth or dare drunk at a party. But at homecoming, I was drugged..." I tell him. "I just don't understand any of this."

There he or she kicked again, but it hurt me a little this time.

"Ouch..." I mutter.

He wraps his arms around me and I burry my self into him. He takes a deep breath and says,

"I just want to know the sick bastard who dared him to do it.."
