Joshaya: the long game or never?

Girl Meets Discussions.

A/N: There's a lot that happens in this chapter. A time skip. Change of POV. An Important discussion. And Josh moments. I'm sorry for speeding through a lot but there is a lot to cover.

Maya's POV.

As soon as Josh and Riley are gone I feel lonely. I'm sitting in my wheelchair, in front of the TV, feeling sad and angry all the same time. Sad because I'm so lonely and I can't just get up and go out to my friends. And angry at myself because of all of this.

If only I wasn't so stupid. If only I didn't run away. Then I wouldn't have to be stuck here in these casts and in this wheelchair.

"Hey baby girl." My mom walks into the room, her eyes tired, but a small smile on her face.

"Are you okay mom?" I ask, a little worried about her. I know her pregnancy has been pretty hard, and she looks super tired.

My mom looks at me, a little confused as to why I'm asking. "Yeah, sweetie? I'm a little tired. Are you okay? I know today must've been emotional for you."

I nod. "Yeah I'm okay. It was a big surprise though. Why did Kermit and his family come over?" I ask.

She sits down on the couch next to me to explain. "Well Shawn and I figured you missed them, and Kermit is your biological father, so we figured he had the right to know about all of this." She gestures to my casts. "And if you want him part of your life then I figured he should be able to visit, at least you, and meet Shawn."

"Do you know what Shawn talked to him about?" I ask, still curious about it.

She looks at me, a little confused but I feel like it's a faked look to throw me off. "No, I'm not sure sweetie."

I know she's lying but I don't want to ruin the mood by calling her out. "Okay."

"He may speak with you about it at some point. Otherwise, it was probably nothing important." She adds and I nod.

We sit together in silence for a bit, the TV making the only sound in the room. It's a little awkward and every so often I see her shifting in her seat.

Eventually I get a little bored but right when I'm about to move, I see my mother's stomach moving. It freaks me out at first but then I watch for a bit.

She notices after two minutes of me watching and smiles sweetly at me, "You wanna feel?" She asks and I nod hesitantly. She takes my good hand and places it on her belly and I start to feel movement underneath my hand.

Little kicks hit my hand from inside her womb. A smile makes its way to my lips and I can't help but feel happy about this moment. I see my mother smiling happily too.

"She moves a lot." She tells me, nodding, more to herself than me. "And she constantly gets the hiccups, just like you used to do when I was pregnant with you."

"You have more issues with this pregnancy than with mine, right?" I ask, curious about how my mother is doing.

She smiles sadly and starts answering, "Yes, I've had a lot more issues with this pregnancy. But it's okay, it's still a blessing to me."

"Are you doing okay though?" I ask, concerned.

"Yes baby, I'm just tired." She answers and I'm not sure if I completely believe her but she sounds tired so I don't push her too much. "I'm gonna go help Shawn with dinner, do you feel like anything specific?"

I shake my head. "Nope, just something filling, I'm starving."

She nods and smiles, getting up and leaving the room.
