Awfully Clinical

** Author's Note **

Set before the Epilogue

Maya was feeling anxious. She hadn't felt this nervous to tell Riley something since the day she came out to her, or maybe it was the day she proposed. Either way, it was a long time since she felt this anxious. She couldn't stop thinking what if Riley wouldn't want this like she did. They were still young, there was no need to rush, but Maya wanted to so badly.

"Home, Peaches!"she heard Riley yell from the living room of their apartment.

"In here," Maya called back from their bedroom, where she was pacing back and forth.

"Are you ok?" Riley asked as she came in to find Maya.

"I'm fine, Riles," she stopped to go kiss her wife. "I missed you today."

"I missed you too, but my mom really needed me to work a double. Plus we need the money."

"I can't wait until you find a job with normal hours," Maya said as she took Riley into her arms.

"Like you work normal hours?" Riley rested her head into Maya's shoulder as they embraced each other. "You were painting until 4am this morning."

"I can't control when the creativity strikes." Plus that means I'd be able to handle all of the middle of the night issues that will come up.

"Maya are you ok? You aren't acting like this is just about me getting home a few hours late."

"I've been thinking," she said as she continued her pacing.

"That's never good," Riley said as she sat on the bed.

"Riley, I want to have a baby," Maya finally admitted.

"Aren't we missing a part to make that happen? I don't think the one we can take on and off counts."

"Riles, I'm serious," she turned to face her.

"I am too. Unless you've been really good at hiding a huge secret this entire time."

"There are ways. I've been reading up on it," Maya told her. "I have been for weeks."

"You did homework? Wow, you are serious."

"There are two options we can do. One is going to a donor bank and getting inseminated."

"That sounds awfully clinical," Riley commented.

"Every part of this is clinical unfortunately, but I want to start a family with you so much, Riles. I want us to be moms." Maya sat down next to Riley on the bed.

"What's the other option?"

"The one I want."

"Which is?"

"They fertilize our eggs and put them in the other," Maya barely got the words out.

"What does that mean?"

"It means we could really carry each other's baby... like other couples can. We'd still need a donor though."

"Ok."

"What?" Maya's snapped up to make eye contact.

"Let's have a baby."

"You're serious?" Maya was surprised in the best way.

"I thought you wanted this?"

"So much. We're going to be mommies, Riles!" She crashed her mouth into Riley's and pulled her back onto the bed.

"I've been thinking about it lately too, Peaches."

"Really?" Maya beamed at her.

"I want one too," Riley smiled.

"But you carried on like this was out of the blue."

"I like messing with you," Riley laughed.

"You're going to be sorry," she said as she began to tickle Riley.

"Maya. Stop. Ma- will you... cut it out!" Riley struggled to get words out between laughing.

They fell back on the bed and Maya curled herself into Riley's side.

"It's your own fault for being such a good bad influence all of these years," Riley joked while catching her breath.

"We're really going to do this?"

"We are, Peaches. Now we just need a donor."

"I figured we could find someone that matches our appearances, so it would still look like a mix of us," Maya responded.

"I like that. What about Josh?"

"'What about him?" Maya asked confused.

"He could be a donor. That would actually mix our DNA!"

"Isn't that kind of incestuous?"

"Of course it isn't! I'm not going to have sex with my uncle! Plus that would be mixing with your eggs right?"

"I don't know, Riley. That's just a little too weird. I'd rather we do it anonymously, even if that means no DNA mixing."

"It was just an idea."

"I know. I love that you have been thinking about this too."

"Were you honestly worried that I wouldn't want a family with you?" Riley asked her.

"I was scared you wouldn't be ready yet. I knew it was going to happen eventually."

"I'm happy with eventually being now," Riley said.

"So which one -" Maya started.

"Of us is going to carry it?" Riley finished her thought.

"Yeah. That," Maya couldn't stop smiling as she lost herself in Riley's eyes. We are going to have a baby.

"We can take turns? I take this one, the next one is yours."

"The next one?" Maya's smile grew.

"I'd like a big family if that's ok," Riley answered, returning Maya's smile.

"That is more than ok, Princess. You are wonderful."

"You aren't so bad yourself, Peaches."

"You know, we could start trying right now," Maya gave her a suggestive glance.

"We both know it won't work like that. Hence all the clinical talk."

"Riles, shut up and stop ruining the moment," she said before leaning over to kiss her while her hands made quick work of Riley's belt.
