Peace by Piece-Rucas

Peace by Play.

Chapter 11

Emily let out a squeal while Lucas chased her around the backyard, they'd been playing for hours and quite frankly Riley was pretty sure she'd never get tired of watching them play together. The vet grabbed her by the waist and spun her daughter around in circles. The brunette giggled and realized the time, "Hey are y'all hungry?"

"You hungry Em?" Lucas moved to set her down but she clutched onto his neck and with a small grin he carried her towards the house.

"Yes, mommy pizza?" The chef nodded, "and I help?"

"Yes you may. " The blonde jumped into Riley's arms, "you can help put the pepperoni's on." Within minutes Emily was sitting on the countertop and Lucas sat at the dining room table admiring his girlfriend and the blue eyed girl. "What are you laughing at baby doll?"

"You have sauce on your lips mommy." Emily joked and the brown eyed girl kissed her cheeks over and over.

Lucas and the little blonde girl both giggled, "Now you have it all over your face."

"Mommy will you sing?" His emerald eyes brightened, he'd never heard her sing though she did it with Emily all the time. "Pleeeeaasseee!"

"First don't beg you look like a dog." She pressed a few buttons on the oven and snatched a paper towel to wipe off her daughter's face. "And secondly because you said please I will." Riley cleared her throat and slowly wiped the sauce off her cheeks.

Somewhere over the rainbow.
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow.
Skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Emily started to sing along, more like mumble. Lucas continued to watch Riley move around the kitchen and sing, God she's amazing.

Someday I'll wish upon a star.
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops.
Away above the chimney tops.
That's where you'll find me.

The oven dinged letting the whole house know it was preheated, "alright baby doll go wash your hands and face please while I stick this in the oven." She helped her daughter off the countertop and heard her scurry off.

"You sing beautifully sweetheart." A light smile rested upon her face, "Emily is one of a kind."

The oven door opened sending a wave of heat throughout the kitchen that abruptly stopped when it shut. "You are one of a kind Lucas Friar. I'd kiss you right now if I could." She tousled her hair and stuffed her hands into her pockets, "thank you for telling her boys are gross."

"No problem. I figured it was the right thing to say."

Riley narrowed her eyes, "it's too quiet."

"That's a good thing right?"

"NO!" The brunette jogged into the bathroom and there was her daughter soaking wet, "Emily!" Her chin touched her chest, "how did that happen?"

"I don't know."

Lucas couldn't help his laughter as her mother started to clean up the water, "are you lying to me?"

"No."

"Yes you are. Here," she tossed her a towel, "you made the mess help mommy pick it up and then we'll go change."

Lucas sat on the couch waiting for 2 of his favorite girls to come out of the back. "Luke." His emerald eyes brightened seeing Emily in a little sundress. "It's pretty."
