Lucy's POV
I still can't believe it. It has been three months and neither me or Riker have said to ANYONE that we are engaged or that we did... you know... It together. Multiple times. I think as Riker plays with my hair. I look up at him and he softly smiles down at me. "I'm bored!" Ross whines from the door. We all turn to look at him. "What should we do then?" Asks Ellington. "Livestream?" I suggest uncertainly. Everyone's faces light up. "Heck yeah" Riker says as we begin to set up. We use my account and then each of them Tweet the link to fans. I hit the stream button. "Hey guys! So we were bored and thought we should have a chat with you guys so ask away!" Riker introduces as everyone either stands or finds a seat. "Anyone mind if I sit down? I may pass out otherwise" I say. "We have no more chairs" Rydel says. "Don't worry" I say before lowering myself onto Riker's lap. He looks shocked at first but then he places his arms round me and leans on my shoulder. The questions start to come in and one catches everyone's eyes. For the wrong reason though in mine and Riker's case.
Lucy, what is that mark on your collar bone?
I reach my hand up and touch it slightly. "I burnt myself with my straighteners this morning" I lie soundly. We answer some more questions and then Rydel reads:
Riker we know you love Lucy so why don't you just ask her to marry you and let the children of your fandom's dreams come true!?
"Awww... That was a sweet way of phrasing that" I say tilting my head to look at Riker. He quickly pecks my lips before returning to the question. I bring my left hand up and into a postition where I know that someone would notice it. Rocky was that person. "Where'd you get the ring from Lucy?" he asks. I smile. "Riker." I answer simply. "When?" "New years" "Why?" "I think the idea of a livestream is that the fans get to ask the questions" I smirk before holding my hand out for Riker to high five. "Anyway it isn't any ring, it is an engagement ring." Riker says. "Holy shit, look at the comments now!" Ross exclaims. We watch them go speeding along and begin to laugh. "So if you guys are engaged have you had sex yet?"Asks Rocky. We stop laughing in a heart beat. "Well... That's awkward" Riker says while I give Rocky a clip round the ear. "What?" He asks. "There are somethings that I can't tell you Rocky" Riker says darkly. "Creepy" Ellington says. "That ain't a burn is it Luce?" Ross slyly asks me. "No" I admit causing Rocky to wolf whistle and Rydel to 'aww' us. We all start laughing again and turn back to the questions. Then I think that it is time to tell everyone something. "Alright, so seeing as there is a gap in the questions I thought that this would be a good time to tell you all something." I say as I look around. "What?" Ellington asks. I take a deep breath. "Basically I am three months pregnant" I rush. All of the eyes in the room widen. "Oh my God!" Rydels squeals while Ross, Rocky and Ellington congratulate me. Ross pulls me into a hug and I hear Riker start to leave. Then as he is about to reach the door a thud is heard. I turn and gasp before moving quickly to his side and resting his head on my lap. Rocky and Ross help me take him to his room and grab some towels and some water. When they leave I gently dap the wet towel over Riker's face and neck trying to keep him cool until he came round.
Eventually the evening came and he still had not changed. I was starting to get worried now. After dinner I walked back to Riker's room and climbed in next to him I pull him close to my body. I scrunched up my face and tried not to cry. "I'm sorry baby" I say over and over as if it will help him. I gently start to rock back and forwards. After some time I fell asleep with slightly damp eyes however every time I settled I woke up to see if Riker was awake or not. Finally I give up and silently make my way down to the kitchen to get a drink. When I am done I make my way into the living room and settle down on the couch while sipping my drink. I hear the door open. "How long have you known?" Riker asks from the doorway. I stand and wrap my arms around him and pull him close while I burry my face in the crook of his shoulder. "Two months or so" I say. "Please don't hate me baby" I add in a thick voice. I feel him chuckle slightly as he wraps his strong arms around me. "I could never hate you Luce" he whispers into my hair before gently pressing his lips against my head. We move and sit on the couch. "Luce?" "Yeah?" "Cuddle with me?" "Of course babe" I say as I shuffle closer to him. I rest my head on his chest. He intertwines our fingers as he says "Do you think I will be a good dad?" unsurely. I look up into the eyes that I could so easily get lost in and smile. "Of course you will Riker. You will be a perfect dad" I reassure. He smiles down at me and we softly kiss. We stay there whispering sweet nothings, or contemplating inpending parenthood, for another couple of hours. "I think we should head back to bed baby girl" he says standing. I stay seated and put on my best puppy dog eyes. "No don't you dare do that Lucy! That's not fair!" he whines covering his face in his hands. "Okay" I sigh before turning onto my side and curling up on the couch.
Riker's POV
As I stand from the couch Lucy gives me her best puppy dog eyes "No don't you dare do that Lucy! That's not fair!" I whine. Mainly because she knows that her doing that is a weak spot of mine. "Okay" she sighs before turning away from me and curling up tight. I smile at her and gently pick her up. She places her arms around my neck and nuzzles her head into my shoulder before letting out a small content sigh. I smile to myself as I carry her to the bedroom. I pass my mom on the way and she smiles adoringly at me with the girl I love in my arms. I open the door and gently lay her down before closing the door and climbing into the bed and holding her close my hands on her stomach like I do every night and allow sleep to take over. "Night love. Night little one" I murmur.
