The lovely stars

Chapter 3

Shoutout to Etherealessence for her help with the big reveal. Also the second part of this chapter is based on "Fall Apart" by Sabrina Carpenter.

Riley woke up in the morning cuddled up to Farkle, a blanket draped over them. Riley couldn't help but smile. She stretched slightly placing her hand on his chest and kissing his cheek. He stirred opening his eyes slowing a smile spreading across his face.

"Morning." He said with a groggy tone of voice.

Riley smiled at him with a sleepy look. "Good morning." She said wrapping her arms around him. Farkle pulled her close and she jumped slightly trying to keep her stomach from poking into him.

"What is it baby?"

"Nothing, nothing." She said panicking. What was she thinking? She'd be showing dramatically soon, she couldn't keep it up much longer. She sat up away from him. "I gotta go."

"Why what's wrong?"

Riley suddenly felt nauseous. "I'm not feeling good. Don't wanna make u sick." She said nervously and ran out the door and down the hall to her apartment.

She sat on her bed and started to cry. She couldn't believe she let herself play with the idea that he would ever stay. Or that she could hide the pregnancy. Farkle stayed outside her apartment for 5 min repeatedly knocking but Riley just cried on her bed not even thinking about getting up.

Farkle knew something else other than Riley being sick was going on. She suddenly changed her mood just like every time before. But he decided to let her alone at least for a little while. By the next night she still hadn't started talking to him again. He wanted answers. At 10 when she got off he sat and waited for her. She cleaned up locking the cafe up.

"Riley..."

Riley didn't noticed he was still sitting there. She had done a pretty good job of ignoring him all night. "Not now Farkle,I'm busy."

"Then when Riley? Cause I have a feeling your later means never." He sighed. "What did I do? Why are you shutting me out?" Farkle pleaded.

"Because we can't be together."

"Why not?"

"Because you don't want me."

Farkle heart sunk, he stepped closer to her. "Of course I want you. I want to hear your laugh everyday. I want to fall asleep with you next to me after laughing our guts out at a movie. I want to spend time with you while you clean the cafe. I want you Riley."

Riley couldn't stop the tears rolling down her face. "No you don't Farkle."

"Yes I do."

"Farkle you don't want me okay? I'm pregnant!! With my ex'a baby."

Farkle went to interrupt then realized what she said. "Oh Riley." He said tucking a stray hair behind her ear and kissing her gently. "I didn't know."

"I know." She whispered not knowing if he was staying or not.

Farkle smiled at her. "I don't care. I want you."

Riley smiled but it quickly faded. "But it's not yours."

"We can raise it like its mine." Farkle said caressing her cheek.

Riley giggled looking down and her hands. "Yeah okay."

Farkle smiled and kissed her again. "Let me make love to you."

Riley looked up at his eyes. "What?"

"That way its like the baby is really mine. Besides I want you Riley."

Riley bit her lip and nodded. Farkle scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the cafe. Mrs.Svorski waving as they left.

Farkle and Riley stood facing eachother in the dark. Farkle gently tucked her hair behind her ears. Moments like these weren't only in the movies, no this was real.

Farkle knelt in front of her sliding her pants down to the ground, Riley stepped out of them with ease. He stood slipping her shirt over her head. She was standing there naked to his eyes. He couldn't help but take in all of her beauty. Riley blushed deeply, her heartbeat echoing through the room, there wasn't any place to hide.

Farkle gently pushed her onto the bed and climbed over her. He stopped over her stomach and placed a kiss. "Hi there." He whispered then made his way up to Riley's lips.

Riley was falling again and she was scared but she trusted him. She had to listen to her heart and her heart wanted Farkle. It was like a movie scene, Spider-Man and Mary Jane or Romeo and Juliet. But they weren't acting, they were no directors calling the shots. No this was real just Riley and Farkle.
