Life Changing Part One
"Mom, Maya and I are fine," Josh sighed in to the phone as he tossed his water bottle in to the trash.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Why wouldn't we be?"
"I don't know. You tell me. Are you two traveling down here to tell us you are getting a divorce?"
"What!" Josh snapped, leaning back against the counter in the kitchen. "No, ma, we're not getting a divorce."
"Are you sure? Is Maya there? How come I don't hear her in the background?"
"Yes, mom, I'm sure. I think I would know if Maya and I were getting a divorce. And yes, Maya is here. I'm looking at her luggage for our trip waiting by the door as we speak. You don't hear her because she upstairs sleeping and as soon as we hang up I'm going to go upstairs and wake her up," he told his mother causing her to sigh.
"I was on that YouTube and I was reading all of these comment about you two not being happy and how Maya looks stressed and you..."
Josh hit his fist against his head, mouthing a curse word as his mother kept going on about what she was reading in the comments on Maya's latest vlog about how stressed out and tired Maya looked and how it seemed she was forcing herself to look happy and make everyone believe everything was alright when it's not and to top it all off someone wrote someone who knows him and Maya in real life told them they were getting a divorce and that's why Josh hasn't been in a lot of videos the last couple of weeks.
"Mom," he cut her off. "I promise you, Maya and I are fine. We are more than fine. I've been busy that's why I wasn't in her vlog and it shouldn't be a big deal because Maya doesn't vlog every single moment of her life so it should be nothing that I wasn't on the vlog but people like to make something out of nothing and I told you before you can't believe everything you read because there are trolls out there trying to cause trouble. There is no one who knows us who told that person we are getting a divorce because its not true. The person is a troll. Maya and I aren't getting a divorce."
"You promise this visit isn't you two announcing you two are separating or getting a divorce?"
Josh couldn't help the chuckle that came out, "I promise," he stressed, trying to reassure her. "Maya and I are happy and we aren't visiting you to announce we are getting a divorce."
"Okay."
Josh smiled at his mom's hesitation. "Mom, relax. Everything is fine. We will be there later tonight after we stop by Riley's first and then you will see with your own eyes Maya and I are still in love and as happy as ever."
"Okay," Amy caved in. "I'll see you later tonight. I love you."
"I love you too, mom," Josh told her before hanging up and letting out a big sigh. He glanced over at his and Maya's luggage before hurrying up the stairs, knowing the two needed to head out. He smiled at the sight of sleeping wife curled up with his pillow. He knows the pregnancy has been kicking her ass lately. He carefully sat down next to her, caressing her cheek. "Gorgeous, its time to get up."
Maya groans, stretching out her body before turning away from him.
"Gorgeous," Josh chuckled. "You have to get up. We need to get on the road."
Maya rolls back over facing her husband. She slowly opens her eyes, pouting.
Josh chuckled again, pecking her on her lips before helping her sit up.
Maya tossed the covers off of her body. "Are you ready to go home to Philly?" she asked, yawning, stretching her arms out over her head.
"Yeah," he answered, taking her hand in to his and kissing her ring. "We haven't been down there since earlier this summer when everyone went down for my parents anniversary and I was pretty sure Shawn was going to kill me because you told him we've had sex in the house."
Maya shook her head at the memory as she climbed on to straddle Josh's lap and wrapped her arms loosely around his neck. "He was being unreasonable wanting to make me switch rooms to share with Riley and Penny. He needs to understand we are married and we do what marry couples do. Did he really expect me to change rooms from my husband because him and my mother showed up?"
It was Josh's turn to roll his eyes and shake his head as rested his hands on her hips.
"And he wasn't going to kill you," she added.
"I think the death glares Shawn gave me beg to differ."
"You're still alive, aren't you?" she asked, raising her eyebrows
"We will see if I'm still alive next week after we tell him I knocked you up," he countered, moving a hand to rest on her stomach.
Maya shakes her head, "He's not going to kill you because I need you."
"I guess it's a good thing you need me then," he laughs causing her to smile and place a quick kiss on his lips. "Are you ready to start telling the world we are having a little one?"
Maya nodded, her smile growing wider as she placed her hand over his on her stomach. "I think we've waited long enough."
Josh nodded, agreeing.
"I can't wait for this little one to get here."
Josh returned her smile. "Me too."
XOXOXOX
"Higher!"
Riley smiled, watching out the window as Lucas pushed their daughter on her swing. She knew they made the right decision moving right outside of the city so her children could have the backyard she never had growing up. She looked over at her son laying in his bouncer, staring up at one of the toys hanging above him.
"Aussie, what you say we go outside and join your sister and daddy before that crazy aunt of yours gets here?"
She walked over taking her son out of his bouncer before walking outside to join her husband and daughter on the beautiful sunny fall day.
"Mom! Look how high I am."
"Yeah," Riley smiled at her daughter. "I see. You're going really high," she told her before looking over her husband and smiling.
"Maya and Josh still planning on stopping by?" Lucas asked as he continued push his daughter.
"Yeah, they are going to stop by before they head down to Philly. She needs my help picking out something to post on her Instagram. I don't know but she is being very dramatic about it."
"Well she is a Youtuber so all that social media crap matters to her," Lucas shrugged, as the two walked over to the swing and watched their daughter continue to play on her swing set.
"True," she agreed, as she gave her daughter a small smile when she yelled her name to get her attention before she went down the slide.
Lucas took her hand in to his, giving it a little squeeze causing Riley to look over at him.
"This is the life," Lucas murmured. "I missed this when I was away."
Riley gave him a small smile. "We missed you."
Lucas look over at Riley. "I miss you guys too," he told her, before looking down at his sleeping son. "Why don't I take him up to his room and put him into his crib."
"Okay," Riley agreed, carefully passing over their son to him.
She watched Lucas leave before looking back at her daughter and letting her play for a little while longer before calling her in at the sound of a car pulling into her driveway, knowing Josh and Maya had arrived. The two just made it inside to the sound of knocking and their front door opening.
"Knock. Knock."
Penny's eyes lit up at the sound of the voice before she took off running in the direction of it. "Joshy!"
"Penny," he yelled back with just as much enthusiasm, squatting down for the little girl to run in to his arms and pick her up for a bear hug.
"Come on, I have to show you my new Barbie house and we can have tea together," she told him once he put her down and started to pull him in the direction of her room.
Maya smiled watching her husband with the small child, getting a glimpse of their future of what kind of father Josh would be.
"So what is so important you had to have my help?" Riley asked, grabbing her best friend's attention.
"I need your opinion on which one of these to post," Maya shrugged, holding up a folder and walking over to the dining room table. "I want to post one I just don't know which one and Josh and I don't agreed on it," she told her, taking out the content in the folder and laying them out on the table.
Riley looked at her best friend suspiciously before going to stand next to her and picking up what now she could see was photos. She gasped, as her free hand went to cover her mouth at the sight. Her eyes started to tear up at the picture of a white onesie with the words Baby Boing written in black on it with white and black stripped pants folded next to it and on one side a black beanie and on the other side a pink tutu with a matching pink headband with a note posted at the bottom with words saying "coming soon". She had her suspicions but seeing it confirmed her best friend was having a baby brought out a whole new set of emotions. "You're pregnant?"
Maya nodded, smiling.
"Nooo!"
"Yessss!"
"I knew it!" Riley shouted, pointing at her best friend before giving her best friend a big hug.
Maya laughed, knowing she couldn't hide anything from Riley.
"You're going to have a baby!"
"I'm having a baby!" Maya squealed back, two hugging again before she picked up one of the pictures spread out on the table.
Riley watched her best friend look down at the different pictures announcing her pregnancy, "How is Josh handling the news?" she asked, knowing her uncle was always vocal about not having children anytime soon.
Maya looked in the direction of the stairs her husband just went before answering. "He was shocked. Really shocked," she admitted, biting her lip. "It's a lot sooner than he would like. He wanted to be completely finished with school but he's excited we are having a baby. We both are. I know this baby wasn't planned like we wanted but he or she is going to be so loved. Riley, I'm having a baby," she smiled. "For real, like when people actually ask me if I'm pregnant I get to say yes."
"You do," Riley laughed, knowing how many times Maya had to say she wasn't pregnant when people would ask. "And you and Josh are going to be the best parents," she continued. "It's evident by the way you both are with Penny and Aussie. Does your parents know?" she asked, knowing both of them especially Katy have been vocal about Maya and Josh waiting to have children as well.
Maya shook her head. "No, I haven't told them yet. You are the first person outside of Josh who knows."
"You are going to tell them before you post it to the world, correct?" Riley questioned, looking down at the photos.
"Well, I was kind of thinking they could just see it on my Instagram like everyone else that way I don't have to hear my mom's mouth."
Riley's eyes went wide as she looked over at her best friend.
"I'm joking. Of course, I'm going to tell them in person before I announce it to the world," Maya laughed, playfully rolled her eyes, shaking her head as she smiled. "We are going to Philly tonight to tell Josh's parents and then when we get back we are going to tell my parents."
"Can I be there when you tell your mom and Shawn?"
Maya playfully rolled her eyes again. "Very funny. There is something else I need to tell you though-"
"Oh my God, you are having twins!"
Maya's eyes went wide, "What?! No. No twins. Just one baby."
"Oh," Riley frowned. "Then what?"
"Josh asked me to marry him-"
Riley scrunched her face, cutting her off, "I know there is such thing as pregnancy brain because I've had it but you and Josh are already married."
Maya chuckled, "I kno-we know we are married but he wants to do the big wedding and renew our vows."
Riley narrowed her eyes in on her best friend. "But you are against it. You believe it is bad luck."
Maya nodded, "I know and I still am and that's why when we do this I don't want it to be on our actually wedding day but Josh really wants to give this to me and I know it will make my mom happy and it helps I know this great wedding planner who is going to give those two the wedding of their dreams," she smiled, nudging Riley.
"You want me to plan your wedding?"
"Well you are a wedding planner and a fantastic one at that and I was thinking we could film the process for my channel and it will give you some exposure so what do you think?"
Riley looked at her best friend before a huge smile came to her face, "I would be honor to be your wedding planner-"
"And my matron of honor."
"And your matron on honor," Riley's smile grew bigger.
The two best friends hugged again, their eyes landing on the photos on the table.
"I can't believe you are having a baby."
"I know, me either," Maya smiled, resting her hand on her stomach. "It's crazy to think when I have this baby we both will be married and moms."
"It is."
XOXOXOX
"Please let Uncle Josh and Aunt Maya have a good day too. And Grammy and Pappy, and Gigi and Pops..."
Riley smiled as she tried to keep her eyes closed at her daughter's prayer of everyone in their family to have a good day tomorrow.
"In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
"Amen," Riley repeated, her eyes glancing over at her husband to see him standing nervously in the doorway. Her heart dropped at the look in his eyes. She leaned in and kissed her daughter's forehead. "Goodnight, baby girl."
"Goodnight, mommy."
Riley walked over to her husband her eyes questioning him what's wrong as she softly shut their daughter's bedroom door.
"Mrs. Ruth is on her way over."
"Why would Mrs. Ruth be on her way over here at this time of night?" Riley questioned as her heart started to race. "Lucas, you are scaring me. What is going on?"
Lucas swallowed before taking his wife's hands in to his.
"Lucas?"
"There has been an accident," he began causing Riley's to gasp and her eyes to go wide. "I don't know any details but Maya and Josh-"
"Maya and Josh?" Riley gasped, trying to pull her hands away but Lucas held on to them tighter.
Lucas slowly nodded, giving his wife's hands a squeeze. "They are at the hospital and your father called and told me we need to get to the hospital."
Riley felt her bottom lip start to quiver and the tears to fall from her eyes. She shook her head, "An accident?" she breathed out, heavily, as Lucas nodded again. "Lucas, Maya's pregnant...what if?" she started, shaking her head as her mind instantly going to the worst.
"Hey, stop. We don't know anything."
Riley nodded, wiping away her tears. "We need to get to the hospital."
Don't hate but there may or may not be a Joshaya baby afterall...you'll have to wait and see. Please leave me a review with your thoughts.
