Backsliding

I Get To Love You

This is more of a break from "Backsliding" and a companion Joshaya piece to it. I hope you enjoy because this took a life of it's own as I wrote it. Please listen to the song above! It is so good!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes. 

Enjoy!

I Get To Love You

"Ready?"

"One."

"Two."

"Three."

"........."

"-I think Lucas is cheating on me!"

"-I think I'm pregnant!"

The two best friends confessed their fears out loud to each other at the same time as they sat cross-legged on the floor facing each other.

"Wait! What? Lucas is cheating on you?"

"You're pregnant?"

Maya stayed still, staring at her best friend. "I don't know," she admitted. "Lucas is cheating on you?"

"I don't know either but I think so."

"I think so too," Maya nodded.

"You don't know for sure?"

Maya shook her head. "And you don't know for sure?"

Riley shook her own head. "What are we?"

Maya chuckled as she looked around the spare empty bedroom of her and Josh's new place, knowing this room was most likely not going to be what they had originally planned for it to be. They were in the middle of moving into their new home and the process was taking longer because she has been 'under the weather'. "All the signs are there. Josh has been holding my hair back while the toilet has started to become my best friend at all times of the day. I'm exhausted after doing nothing and not to mention I'm late...like over two months late. I've just been blaming it on stress."

Riley nodded. "I know about the signs too. Lucas hasn't been coming home and a bleach blonde tramp has been commenting on his Instagram pics about how she is excited to see him or leaving a little heart emoji and I've seen her at the bar several times and when I confront Lucas about it he gets really nervous and guilty but says she is just a costumer and I have nothing to worry about."

Maya shook her head disgusted by Lucas's actions. Never in a million years did she think Lucas would be that guy. "What are you going to do?" she asked, softly.

"I don't know, I guess find out the truth and find out for sure before I do anything that I might regret later because what if I'm wrong and she is just a bimbo going after my man. What about you?"

"I don't know," Maya breathed out.

"You aren't going to take a test to find out for sure?"

"If I take a test and it's positive then what?"

Riley narrowed her eyes at her friend. "Then you and Uncle Josh are going to have a baby," she told her as if it was the clearest thing in the world. "Right? Unless you don't want to."

Maya's eyes snapped up wide at Riley.

"You and Uncle Josh have talked about kids, right?"

Maya twirled the diamond ring that had been placed on her finger not too long ago, praying her tears would stay at bay. Another sign. She couldn't control her emotions and cried at the smallest thing. "Of course we have," she breathed out. "We want to have children but in the future. Way future. Not now. This wasn't suppose to happen anytime soon. I wanted to graduate from college first and we are suppose to get married next fall after my graduation. A baby wasn't in the picture at either of those events. I can't have a baby right now. Having a baby right now ruins everything."
