Maybe it was fate

Chapter 23

We arrived at home to see everyone sitting on the couch.

"Is it a boy or girl?!" Michael jumped up. I smiled at Ashton.

"See for yourself i said handing out the envelopes.

"Its a boy!" Luke yelled.

"No its a girl, see!" Bri showed Luke.

"Wait it cant be both unless.." Riley interupted. "O.M.G is it twins?!" Her smile grew. I nodded my head yes and was congratulated. I sat down on the couch and started watching netflix with everyone when Luke took Rileys phone.

"Ooh who's Alex?" He said trying to unlock her phone.

"Stop it Luke!" She jumped on him trying to get her phone back. He threw her over his shoulder and she began to beat his back. "Luke give me my phone right now!" She kept screaming.

"Tell me who Alex is Mrs. Grumpy pants." He teased making her sigh.

"Alex is a... friend." She said shyly

"Friend as in boyfriend?" He questioned.

"No!" She yelled defensively. "Well not yet atleast." She sighed. Luke put her down.

"Riley you're not even 13 yet, dont boys still have cooties." He said. Riley rolled her eyes at Lukes stupid question.

"I am a freshman im highschool Lucas cooties are not a real thing." She stated.

"STDs" Michael fake coughed making Riley roll her eyes again.

"Besides Lucas," she put emphasis on the Lucas because she knows thats not his real name. "I will be 13 next month." She stuck out her tongue.

"You're a grumpy little preteen arent you." He laughed. She rolled her eyes and stomped her way to her room. "Oh come on Ri i was just kidding!" He called out and she slammed the door. "Why is she so sensitive?" He walked back to the couch.

"Luke, do you remember that talk we had a while ago?" I asked. He thought for a second then his eyes got big.

"EW!" He exclaimed "ugh i would hate to be a girl."

"Tell me about it." Morgan, Jordynn, Bri and I said in unision and we all began laughing. I then got up to go talk to Riley. Before i opened the door i saw Luke put his fingers together to form a cross. I rolled my eyes and opened the door. Riley was laying on her bed starring at the ceiling with her phone on her chest playing music.

"You ok Ri?" I asked shutting the door.

"Why hasnt he asked me out yet." She said still starring at the ceiling. "Did he friend zone me, Is it age, Is there someone else, Am i not pretty enough." She grabbed a pillow and pulled it over her eyes. "I thought he liked me, i really thought he did. We text all the time and he knows i have a crush on him and he said he likes me too. He's always hugging me and holding my hand at school but he hasnt asked me out." She rolled over so i couldnt see her face. "Why are boys so complicated?" I laughed a little at her question.

"They say we're the confusing ones, so maybe he's just scared, or he's waiting for the right time." I tried to give her a sympathetic smile. "You wanna go make some comfort food, ive got the stuff for chocolate chip cookies." She rolled over and looked at me.

"Can you make them? Im not in the mood for baking."

"Oh but my pregnant self is? I want to take a nap but you want me to bake you cookies." We laughed a little. "Ill go make you some cookies." I smiled and walked out of the room. I walked to the kitchen and all the boys followed.

"What do you vultures want?" I laughed.

"What are you making bestie?" Michael batted his eyes.

"Cookies, but not for you guys." I turned around to face them.
