*the next day*

Riley's POV:

Following yesterday's lunch, Maya, my mom and I are going out for the day for some girl time, to discuss things, mainly Maya's wedding and prom, which are both fast approaching. Lucas, Uncle Josh, Uncle Shawn, Auggie and Dad are watching a game and babysitting Amelie, whilst we are out.
I am currently sat in my car, beeping the horn as a signal to Maya that I am at her place. She comes rushing down her front steps and jumps in the car, shotgun.
"You took your time." I greet her.
"Sorry, I woke up late."
"When do you ever not?" I joke as I start the car and we drive around to my parents house. My Mom is already waiting outside so she hops in the back and we set off to the mall.
After about 3 hours shopping, we decide to go for some lunch at Taco Bell.
"Okay Riley, we've been avoiding the subject long enough, we have to talk about it." Maya exclaims as we sit down to eat.
"We know it was hard for you yesterday, everyone talking about babies and pregnancy and all." My mom continues.
"Okay, you're right. It really was. I just don't know what to do." I sigh.
"Yes you do." Maya tells me.
"You have to tell him." My mom advises.
"But-"
"No, Riles, at first I agreed with you, but now I know you're not coping and him not knowing isn't going to do any good." Maya tells me.
"He will start to realise something is up soon. He loves you, he'll sense your carnage in mood and he'll start asking questions." My mom explains.
"Okay. Tonight?"
"Yeah. We'll all go out for dinner some place nice though first." Mom suggests.
"Alright." I sigh again.
"We love you Riley."
"Okay! Enough about me, Maya is there anything else that needs to be done for the wedding?" I change the subject.
"I don't think so-" Maya is interrupted by her phone ringing.
"Hello. Yes this is she? Oh, I see. All of it? Thank you. Bye."  She hangs up.
"What is it?" I ask concerned.
"The boutique we bought your dress from burnt down, the owners have no money to continue, there insurance was a day out. You have no dress for my wedding. I'm sorry." She informs.
"Don't worry Maya, we'll find something." Mom assures.
"What are we waiting for?" I ask jumping up and leading them too the nearest dress shop, we find it straight away, the dress I should have.  We all see it.
"It's perfect." Maya says.
"But it doesn't match the colour scheme." I say.
"Screw the colour scheme, you are my daughter and you are wearing this dress. It was made for Maya's wedding." Mom tells me, sternly.
They're right. It was the perfect maid of honour dress for me to wear. Just wow. After I try it on we immediately buy it.

Maya's POV:

We buy Riley's new dress and head to a toy store, I feel like spooling my niece. We are almost there when I see her.

"Ugh."
"What's wrong Maya?" Topanga asks me.
"See the red lipped, bleached haired slut? She has been after Josh since we went back to school in September." I tell the mother and daughter.
"She just keeps popping up in your lives?" Riley asks.
"Yeah, pretty much. It is getting worse to. And I don't mean I feel like she'll take Josh, I feel like she will do something properly harmful and hurt someone or something, she's a psycho, I swear." I tell them. And then she spots us. Here she comes...
"Well if it isn't the underage bitch and the slutty teen mom. Oh and who's this? Grandma out on a field trip for the care home?" She laughs.
"How the hell do you know that I have a daughter?" Riley asks, annoyed.
"Well, Joshypoo has a baby with him when we first met, and he said it was his nieces baby. I was a waitress and your hot boyfriend's birthday and found out you were the niece. By the way, how d'you get such and hot boyfriend but ugly baby? Must get mommas looks, huh?" She sneers.
"Watch it lady. I am a powerful person and could send you down with one phone call." Topanga says angrily.
"Aw, grandma, I think you need to take your meds, you're going all loopy. That's impossible to do."
"I am no old! I have no meds and it is very possible so. BACK. OFF. LADY."
"Okay mom, calm down." Riley calms the enraged lawyer, and they walk off a bit.
"What do you want Kelly?"
"You know I want Josh."
"You aren't getting him."
"Well then, let this be your final warning. You're life is about to become a living hell until he is."
"Try your best bitch. It won't ever happen."
She has no more words. Pathetic. I alight at her and she storms off sulking. Oh joy is she lovely...
