Girl Meets Next Step

Chapter 2

"Oh my God" Maya gasped while she and Smackle were still in the bathroom "I can't believe this, Riley's pregnant. I'm going to be an aunt!"

"Too soon Maya" Smackle put in.

"Should we tell her that we know?"

"I don't think so, let her tell all of us first, she's most likely gonna plan it out somehow."

"Right" Maya said as she gave a small squeal "I'm so excited, I wonder what gender it's going to be."

"We'll just have to wait and see" Smackle said with a small smile.

"Yeah, and the meantime, you should really wash your hands."

Later that day, after getting Lucas's things into Riley's apartment, everyone gathered in the living room to have pizza as Riley spread some peanut butter onto her slice.

"Peanut butter on pizza?" Lucas said a bit confused "Are you trying to create a new trend?"

"I'm not finished yet" she said as she added on some M&Ms "Okay now I'm done."

She then started to munch down her pizza as everyone stood there with confused looks.

"Riley are you feeling okay?" Farkle asked.

"Oh I'm fine" she assured with her mouth full "But you gotta try this pizza."

Maya and Smackle turned to each other with small smirks.

"Oh boy" Riley suddenly put her hand on her stomach "Gotta use the bathroom again."

"Seriously?" Zay said with a dull look "This is like your 5th time going to the bathroom today."

Riley then set down her pizza and ran into the bathroom and shut the door.

"I don't think she's okay" Zay said.

"Hey honey" Lucas called "Are you sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine baby" she called back "Oh boy."

Everyone then heard her vomiting.

"Yeah you don't sound okay" Lucas put in.

"I'm fine, really. I just got a little nausea, I'll feel better in a bit."

"Okay...?" he said a bit confused.

At that point Maya gave a snicker.

"What?" Lucas asked "What so funny?"

"Oh nothing" she smirked "Smackle just told me something funny earlier."

Just then Riley came out from the bathroom while holding something in her hand.

"Okay" she breathed with a smile "I feel a bit better."

"Riles" Josh said "Did you like, eat something weird?"

"No-" she smiled "But there is something I've been meaning to tell you guys, especially you Lucas. I didn't know how I was going to spill this, but now seems like to good time. Everyone, I'm-".

"Riley's pregnant!" Smackle suddenly exclaimed as everyone's eyes widen as they turned to her.

"Let her tell us first huh?" Maya said with sarcasm "Great idea Smackle."

Smackle just sat there with guilt.

"Wait hold on-" Farkle said as he turned to Riley "You're pregnant?!"

"Well it was suppose to be a surprise" Riley frowned as she turned to Maya and Smackle "But it seems these two already figured it out."

"Hey don't blame me blame her-" Maya pointed to Smackle "She's the found who found your test and told me."

"I'm sorry" Smackle groaned "But it was right there, sticking out from the trash can, I couldn't help myself. Riley really should of hidden it better."

"So it's true?" Lucas said surprised as he went up to Riley "You're pregnant?"

Riley gave a smile as she showed him her test.

"Surprise..." she smiled awkwardly while waving her hands.

Lucas gave a smile as he wrapped his arms around her and spun her around as she laughed while everyone sat there full of surprise.

"Can I see the test?" Josh asked as Riley showed him her test "Oh my God, you really are pregnant! I'm gonna be a... great uncle? Damn I feel old."

"And I'm gonna be an aunt!" Maya exclaimed.

"Still to soon Maya" Smackle put in.

"So you guys really did it huh?" Zay grinned "Without protection this time."

Everyone turned to him with frowns.

"I'll shut up" he sighed.

"When did you find out?" Farkle asked Riley.

"Today" she smiled "And I was gonna tell you guys as soon as we were all in the same place."

"Well this calls for a celebration" Maya smiled "How about we go to the bar?"

"Uh, can we not?" Riley said "Because you know..."

"Oh right. How about we go out for ice cream then?"

"Yes! Oo! I'm gonna order that giant sundae surprise for all of us."

"It's for you isn't it?" Lucas smirked.

"... No" she replied while trying to hide her guilt.

"I'll buy you the sundae."

"Yay!" she smiled.

After the little celebration, everyone went back to the apartment as they went inside.

"Well that was fun" Riley smiled.

"Only for you because you kept taking bites of our ice cream" Farkle frowned.

"Well you should of expected that when I'm the only one carrying a baby inside of me. Oo that reminds me, Lucas, be prepared, I'm gonna be wearing your shirts a lot once this stomach starts to pop."

"Oh I'm gonna be prepared for everything" he assured.

"So when are you gonna tell everyone else?" Josh asked her.

"Most likely tomorrow over dinner or something" she replied "I need to find the right time."

"Hey did you already come up with names yet?" Smackle asked.

"Smackle, I just found out I was pregnant, and I don't even know the gender yet. We need to think it over with the names."

"If it's a girl, can you name her Maya?" Maya grinned.

"Maya" Riley groaned.

"It's just a suggestion. Or perhaps Penelope."

Riley rolled her eyes.

"We'll think about it" she said.

That night, after everyone went home, Riley and Lucas laid in their bed as they snuggled against each other.

"First night after I moved in" Lucas smiled while his arm around her "How do you feel about that?"

"Great" she smiled "Although I'm gonna miss having Maya here, always seeing her every morning, even when you would stay the night. You think she and Josh are hitting it off right now?"

"Most likely."

"Well then, I need you to do me a favor."

"You're hungry aren't you?" he smirked.

"I gotta keep our baby happy."

"Well it's gonna get a whole lot crazier as the baby gets bigger. So what would you like?"

"Anything with chocolate, I need chocolate right now."

"Will you take chocolate milk?"

"Will you add cream to it?"

"Of course."

"Love you" she smiled.
