Peace by Piece-Rucas

Peace by Love Part 2.

A/N: So you were all right. Last chapter wasn't a filler chapter lol. This one however is. Sowwy.

Riley woke up the next morning and was saddened when the other side of the bed was empty. But, she figured he may have had an early day at the ranch. She glanced at her phone to check the time but when it was dead she jogged into the kitchen. "Oh shoot, 9 o'clock. Wait, where's Em?"

The brunette hastily moved down the hallway and knocked up the air, confused as to how it got so low in the first place. She creaked the door to her daughter's room open and smiled seeing Emily but, "Wait a second. New sheets, no comforter, new pajamas. What the-"Riley opened the door all the way and saw Lucas lying on the floor with the fan blowing on them. "What happened?" She whispered and leaned against the door frame.

She decided to just let them wake up on their own and closed the door. The bathroom light was on and there was a small mess left out that she noticed whenever she went to turn it off. "Emily. Wait, this is medicine. The cabinet is child proofed." The brown eyed girl put it back up and sauntered into the living room. There was a glass lying out and the TV was left paused on Tangled. "Okay so Emily was definitely up last night, up with Lucas. Was she sick? Why wouldn't she wake me up?" Her eyes rolled, because I'm not Luke. You'd think he was Flynn Rider or something. After putting the cup in the dishwasher and putting the pedialyte back in the fridge, her suspicion was confirmed that her daughter was sick.

"Hey sweetheart."

Riley placed her back against the counter and folder her arms with a fixed smile on her face. "Good morning. What happened last night?"

"Oh princess woke me up she said she wasn't feeling well. She had a fever and was really pale." Lucas went into detail about what he did almost looking for affirmation that he did the right thing. He eagerly awaited a response but the brunette continued to listen intently, that closed mouth smile never left her face. "So, did I do anything wrong? That was the first time I've taken care of a sick kid."

He did all of that for her? "You- a man, changed the sheets?" The green eyed man laughed but eventually agreed, "Did you change her clothes?"

"NO!" He replied, "No, I didn't want to make her or you uncomfortable. I stole the fan from the garage while she changed. Please don't be mad, I thought about waking you up but I wanted to prove that I could do-"

She was eyeing his body until he said that. "Lucas I am not at all mad at you. Definitely give me a slight nudge next time just to let me know, but no I'm not mad at all how could I be? You did all of that for her."

The vet rocked on his feet and grinned. That little sly smirk, she knew his statement was going to be arrogant. "I am pretty fantastic."

I was right. Though I can't deny it. "Yeah you are. Right here baby." Her finger touched her lips asking for a kiss.

He obliged and kissed her, their lips moved in sync together. Since she wasn't letting him in, he bit her bottom lip and after she gasped he slipped his tongue inside. A moan erupted from the back of her throat as she grasped the back of his neck. "Oh, she said she loved me last night."

"Lucas! That is so amazing! I am so happy for you!" A tear escaped its dungeon and she jumped into his arms, squeezing the life out of him in the process. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

"I LOVE BOTH OF YOU!" Emily sprinted into the kitchen and grasped onto Lucas' leg since he was holding Riley.

"Hey princess, how're you feeling?"

"Good, thank you."

The brunette slid down off the counter Lucas had placed her on and checked her temperature. "You're still a little warm, so do me a favor no running. Go sit down on the couch, you hungry?"
