We Keep Making It Work

Riley slowly started to back away from her sleeping almost one year old daughter. She cringed at the sound of the doorbell and her now awake crying baby. "Great," she muttered.

"I'll get her. You get the door."

Riley looked over her shoulder to her boyfriend walk over to take their screaming daughter in his arms.

"You gonna go and get that?" he asked as they heard the door bell ring again.

Riley nodded, watching her daughter start to settle down for a moment before going to answer the door.

"Surprise!"

Riley stood back shock to see her best friend.

"I'm here to steal you for the day."

Riley looked at her best friend, puzzled as she shut the door. "Steal me?"

"Yes, apparently you need a break and I'm always up for a massage and food."

Riley's mouth dropped open as she shook her head confused. "You told me you and Josh had big plans today-"

"Yeah, I lied. Josh is helping Andrew move into his new place."

Riley put her hands on her hips, "You lied to me?"

"If I told you the truth then it would have ruined the surprise. We are about to have an awesome girls' day."

"But-"

"No buts," both Maya and Lucas said at the same time.

Riley looked between her boyfriend and best friend.

"You should go and have a good time," Lucas continued, giving her a small nod.

Riley looked back between her best friend and boyfriend and knew it was a battle she wouldn't win.

"Fine."

XOXOXOXO

"So did you have fun today?" Maya asked once they put their orders in and the waiter walked away.

"I did, thanks for stealing me away for the day," Riley answered, taking a sip of her water.

"I was more than happy to. I feel like it's been forever since the last time we've hung out where it was just the two of us but I have to give credit where credit is due and it was Lucas's idea. He called and told me you needed a much-needed break with your best friend."

Riley raised her eyebrows, surprised. "Really."

Maya nodded. "Yep," she confirmed, taking a sip of her own water.

"Well then, I guess I'm going to have to thank him later."

"I'm sure you will," Maya grinned, winking, causing the two to bust out laughing. "So how have things been?" she asked, once the two settle down.

"Good. We are getting the hang of things living together."

Maya nodded, knowing how hard it can be at first to adjust to living together and couldn't imagine adding in a baby.

"And now that we are completely moved in I can turn my focus on Penny's first birthday party."

Maya smiled at the mention of her God-daughter. "I can't believe she is already going to be one."

"I know. Time flies."

"It does," Maya agreed.

"Just think you and Josh have already been married for two years."

"I know," Maya nodded, smiling.

"You are on your last year as newlyweds."

Maya nodded again, "Maybe soon you'll be a newlywed."

Riley shook her head, "No, Lucas and I are content with just being boyfriend and girlfriend right now."

Maya shrugged, before speaking with a smirk, "I'm sure if Lucas knew what happens when you become newlyweds he would put a ring on it fast."

Riley scrunched her face up, "I don't even want to think about what that means. You are married my uncle."

"Yeah, poor you," Maya frowned. "I feel sorry for you because you don't get to appreciate the hotness of my husband because of that little fact."

Riley laughed, shaking her head as the two continued to enjoy their girls day out.

XOXOXOXO

"How was your day out with Maya?" Lucas asked from the couch with Penny as Riley returned home.

"It was really good," Riley answered, hanging up her coat before walking over to greet Lucas with a quick peck before turning her attention on her daughter in his arms. "We had a great time. It was really good to catch up and it just to be the two of us but I missed both of you guys so much today."

"We missed you too. I was actually thinking you were going to be home late so I was about to go and give this little one a bath."

"Don't worry, I'll do it since you've had her all day," Riley offered, taking her daughter into her arms and going into Penny's room to grab a few things she would need before making her way to the bathroom.

Riley frowned at the sight of the onesie. She narrowed her eyes in, "What is this?" she asked herself, not recognizing the onesie her daughter was wearing underneath her clothes. She gasped as she read the words written.

"Will you marry my daddy?" she read the words out loud, making sure she wasn't seeing things as her heart started to beat fast. "Is this?"

She stared down at her daughter for a moment, stun, rereading the words over and over again before looking over at the door. "Lucas?!" she yelled in his direction before picking her daughter up and turning off the bath water when he didn't answer fast enough for her liking and hurried back into the living room where she last saw him. She was surprised to find the spot he was once sitting in empty. "Lucas?" she murmured, puzzled. "Where is your daddy?" she asked, glancing down at her daughter before starting her search for him.

"Lucas!" she said again, heading back towards the bathroom when she found the kitchen empty.

"In here!" he yelled from the bedroom.

She frowned again, kissing the top of her daughter's head as she made her way to the bedroom.

"Luke-" her mouth dropped open at the sight of Lucas down on one knee holding up a black box with a simple diamond ring. "Lucas-what are you?" she gasped, stuttering, not being able to get out her words as her heart pounded even faster against her chest.

"I've been wanting to do this because I knew I had to wait for the right time. I know we have had our ups and downs in life, especially the last couple of years with me enlisting in the army and us having a baby really young but somehow we are making it work. We keep making it work. And I want to keep making it work for the rest of our lives because I can't imagine not having you by my side. You and Penny are the two most important things in the world to me and always will be and I'll be honor if you officially just us by becoming a Friar. Will you marry me?"

Riley felt the tears roll down her cheeks. She glanced down at her daughter in her arms before looking back at her boyfriend, nodding. "Yes, I'll marry you."

Lucas stood up and rushed over to Riley. He placed a quick kiss on her lips before wrapping his arm around the two most important things in the world to him.
