The news

As Riley walked in she regretted it. She knew this was the worst plan and that her family was going to find her. She just was too desperate to wait any longer to find out what the genders were. The only bad thing is that through a blood test with twins, you can only safely know what one of the babies are, not both without an ultrasound, unless it's two girls and there is no boy DNA at all showing up.

Riley had been thinking about names and thinking about what Maya might be planning for names. She was also wondering about the genders of Maya's babies. There was a whole list of things that Riley was wondering about that she couldn't know, and that she didn't think of before leaving.

Riley was only thinking of names and hadn't been set on any that she liked very well. Really she just wanted to have healthy babies and give them away. She had no intentions of keeping them, but Lucas did. Riley knew that if Lucas wanted them, then she needed to want them too. What's a dad without a mom? It's different when it's a mom without a dad.

Riley was called back. There were so many things going through her head. It was crazy.

The nurses prepped her for the blood draw. They felt around on her arm for a vein, when they found one it was an instant stick. They got the blood they needed.
"If you want to wait it takes about an hour to get the results." One of the nurses said.
"I'll wait. I don't have my phone." Riley said.

Meanwhile Maya has been thinking on the paternity test. Did she really want to know? Or would she regret it?
"Hey, Topanga, I need some advice." Maya began.
"Okay?" Topanga questioned.
"If you were in my situation, which you kinda are, would you get the test?" Maya asked her.
"I would. I did. Two of the babies are Corey's. I don't want to terminate the other one, but I don't want to have a kid with another man-" She was cut off.
"Topanga, stop. I'm not the person you need to be ranting to. I'm gonna go back to the clinic. I just don't want to disappoint myself." Maya said.
"Who's do you want it to be?" Topanga interrogated.
"The question is who's do I want it to be or whose do I wish it to be. Well, I hope and want it to be Joshs. But I wish it was Lucas's." Maya explained her thinking.

Maya left on her trek to the clinic.

Riley was still at the clinic waiting on the results.

After a long while a doctor came to the waiting room and sat next to Riley.
"I have you results." He said in a low voice.
"Okay." Riley answered wanting him to continue.
"I would like you to make a promise to me before I tell them to you first." He bargained.
"Is this about me running away. I'm not going back. My parents basically without saying it to my face said that I was a disappointment. I want the best life I can have for my kids. Even though I don't want them. I'm miserable. I just want it to be over. I got pregnant on purpose and regret every minute of it. But I don't want my children growing up knowing that. That I regret them. Cause I'm a way I do. But I love them. I'm attached." Riley ranted.

At that moment Maya walked in. Right away she didn't notice Riley. But after signing in she did.

"Riles!" Maya exclaimed.
Riley stood up and started to run out. Maya grabbed her arm.
"I'm not letting you go. Not this time." Maya said.
Riley stopped fighting and sat down. Their big bellies almost touched.
"Why did you run away? I miss you and want you to come home with me. If not that then at least stay with me so I can find out who the father of my babies are." Maya asked her.
Riley agreed. She was going to stay to find out with maya.
"Maya, you see that kind doctor over there. He is holding the piece of paper that says what the genders of my babies are. You want to find out with me?" Riley asked.
"Yeah! Absolutely! I'm carrying a boy and a girl." Maya confessed.
"Oh. Wow!" Riley was amazed. They walked to the doctor and asked for the news.
"It's............
