Girl Meets Next Step

Chapter 10

After leaving a bakery, Lucas, Farkle and Zay got into Lucas's car with a box that Farkle held onto.

"Riley is going to love this" he smiled at Lucas.

"I saved the best for last" Lucas replied with a grin just as his phone rang as he pulled it out and answered it "Hey Maya... I'm sorry what?... Maya I can't understand you slow down... Riley's what?... What?!... Are you serious?!... Okay I'm judging by the screaming that you're serious, okay we're on our way!"

When he hung up, he sat there speechless.

"What's going on man?" Zay asked.

"Riley's going into labor" Lucas muttered with his eyes widen "I'm gonna be a dad!"

"What?!" they gasped.

"Oh my God this is great!" Zay exclaimed.

"Well what are you waiting for Lucas?!" Farkle exclaimed "Start the car!"

"Oh right" Lucas replied as he pulled out his keys and started the car.

"Baby Friars here we come!" Zay cheered.

"Don't even say that again" Lucas ordered.

Now at the hospital, everyone waited in a private room as Riley who was now in the bed breathed heavily while holding onto her stomach.

"Why do twins have to cause so much more pain?" she whined "Why?!"

"Hang in there Riles" Maya put in "Lucas is on his way."

"Well can he hurry up?! I have been carrying our 2 children for 9 months and they're just dying to come out!"

"Riley calm down" Josh ordered "You're starting to scare all of us."

Riley gave a groan as she tilted her head back on her pillows.

"Is there anything we can do for you?" Smackle asked.

"Yeah, tell the doctor to hurry up!"

"I'll get you some pie from the cafeteria."

After a while, Lucas and the others haven't shown up, and Riley was starting to hurt more.

"Where is he?!" she demanded "He should of been here by now!"

"I'll call him" Maya offered as she started to call Lucas "Lucas where the hell are you?"

"Traffic" he replied with a grunt as he, Farkle, and Zay sat dully in the car, stuck in traffic.

"What?" Maya gasped.

"We've been stuck in traffic for over haft an hour now, we've barely moved."

"Lucas Riley is going into labor and she's screaming for you to get here, and I mean she's literally screaming."

"We're trying, how is she?"

"In pain."

"Oh boy" he sighed.

"Well how far away are you?"

"Hard to tell."

"Well find some way to get here" she ordered "And quick!"

After hanging up, Lucas gave a groan as he pressed his forehead against the steering wheel.

"We're gonna be stuck here all day and night" Farkle grunted "We're not gonna make it in time."

After a moment of thinking, Lucas suddenly got an idea.

"Maybe you guys wont-" he said "But perhaps I will."

"What?" they questioned confused as he took off his seat belt.

"Farkle take my seat" he ordered.

"Whoa what are you doing?" Farkle asked confused.

"I'm gonna run for it."

"What?" they gasped.

"Through traffic?" Zay gasped.

"It seems to be the only way, I wanna be there to watch my wife give birth to our children, and I'm not gonna let a bunch of cars get in the way of that! So Farkle, you take the wheel when traffic starts to move."

He then got out of the car.

"Good luck man!" Zay cheered as Lucas took off running through traffic.

"He is so gonna get killed" Farkle sighed with disappointment.

Now in the waiting room, everyone waited anxiously for Lucas to arrive as they thought about Riley.

"Well this is going great" Maya grunted "Riley's going into Labor and Lucas isn't even here to witness here."

"If I was him-" Smackle put in with a dull look "I wouldn't even witness it, especially with Riley screaming and all."

All of a sudden, Lucas came running into the waiting room, panting for air and covered in sweat.

"Lucas!" Maya gasped "What happened?! And why are you sweaty?"

"I just ran through traffic" he panted "And it wasn't easy."

"Where's Farkle and Zay?" Smackle asked.

"Still stuck in traffic in my car."

"Well it's about time you showed up" Maya put in "Riley's in the delivery room right now!"

"What?!" he gasped.

"Don't just stand there! Go!"

And with that he took off to the delivery room where he saw Riley on the bed already starting to push with doctors helping.

"Riley" he gasped as he ran up to her.

"What the hell took you so long?!" Riley screamed as she winched in pain "And why are you sweaty?"

"It's a long story" he replied "But I'm here now."

"Good" she grunted "Please hold my hand!"

"Sure thing."

But when he held her hand, Riley squeezed it so hard that Lucas could feel his bones cracking.

"Too hard Riles!" he exclaimed in pain.

"Here comes the head" the doctor announced "You're doing great Riley."

"Well I don't feel great" Riley panted with sweat dripping down her face.

"Just keep it up" Lucas put in "You'll be done in no time."

"Keep pushing Riley" the doctor ordered.

But when she did, Riley sprang her head up which knocked into Lucas's head as he collapsed to the floor.

"Sorry honey" Riley apologized.

"It's fine" he mumbled on the floor in pain.

After a while, neither of them knowing how long it took, Riley and Lucas cradled their newborn twins in their arms, both feeling grateful that their babies had made it out safely.

"I never knew holding onto a self creation could feel this wonderful" Riley smiled while looking at her new baby.

"You did a great job Riles" Lucas smiled as he held onto their other baby "I'm really proud of you."

"I'm proud in the both of us."

They both exchanged smiles as they went into a kiss, both feeling like the happiness people in the world.
