A/N: Future Fics and Season 5. Please take note of the last part of this note mainly because I do have other work to do and I cry if I get below a B+, I'm pretty much harder on myself then my professors are and I freak out over grades.
1. I've plotted out most of the Season 5 fic and it is filled with so much heartbreak and angst (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
2. The Agent and the Hitman took a weird turn when I started plotting it so it no longer looks like the one shot, but Farkle is a mob boss, Zay is a bouncer, Maya is a Singer at Farkle's club, Josh is a bartender, Smackle is Riley's handler, and of course Riley's the Agent and Lucas is the hitman, so I'm cool with that.
3. I have another adult AU where they're all teachers because you can't leave me alone with anything ever. This one is way into the future and not a priority right now
4. I have one shot ideas I want to write, which includes all kinds of things, I will probably write them during September/October to keep posting stories if I can't concentrate on a single long fic.
5. last but not least I have to finish writing the Superhero AU which will probably turn into the longest fic I will ever write considering I don't know where its going just yet.

There's also the fact that I may disappear in September to concentrate on my Master's Thesis and my novel, I'll keep writing the Superhero AU during that time but I need to work on my stuff or else I'm going to drown in it come crunch time and I don't want that. Let me see how it goes first and I'll keep you updated.

Chapter Fifteen

Their lives after Vegas went into a happy place, they weren't perfect, no one was, but they were happy after everything that had happened. Of course they had hidden the marriage from their friends and family and went on planning the Fall wedding. Until her mother had called about Liliana's adoption papers and noticed that Riley had signed it Friar instead of Matthews.

"Oops," was all she could say even though she had wanted the world to know.

The wedding wasn't scheduled until mid-October, but now everyone knew that they had gotten married weeks before, on a random trip to Vegas. So of course everyone they knew began bombarding them with phone calls, which they ignored after the slip-up.

"Can we just run away," she said to Lucas pleading with him but he shook his head.

"I didn't mean for them to find out like this but we couldn't lie on the adoption papers," he said to her. The paperwork for Riley officially becoming Liliana's mother had to be check out by their lawyers, of course Riley forgot that her mother was considered her lawyer and the papers had reached New York before she could get them back.

She sighed as she sat on the couch waiting for the storm to come, "Honestly I don't understand what the big deal is, we got married that was our decision, no one else's but ours."

"I think they're only mad because we did it without them knowing," he said pulling her into a hug. Liliana was in school blissfully unaware of what was happening and Riley envied her so much at that moment.

The front door opened and in came her best friend followed by her uncle, and behind him to Riley's surprise her father.

"Riley Matthews," he yelled out.

"Well actually according to the papers I'm Riley Matthews-Friar now," she said with a smile, but her father didn't take the joke instead he marched into the room and grabbed her hand.

"You're in big trouble young lady, and when we get back home," he stopped when Lucas stood in front of Riley and smiled.

"Mr. Matthews, my wife isn't going anywhere by force, she willfully made a decision and married me, but I'm not in control of what she does, but she will not do anything under the threat of someone else," he said making Riley smile.

"Dad I love you, but I'm also 100% sure that mom lectured you before you got on an airplane and flew down here just to yell at me," Riley said as she pulled out her phone and dialed her mother's number.

"Cory Matthews so help me," her mother said without do much as a hello. "If you don't get your ass back to New York within the next twenty-four hours I'm calling a divorce lawyer."

"Yikes," her father said before running out the door. Riley knew her parents wouldn't separate but it was funny to see her father's face when he ran scared of what her mother would do.

Maya stood there watching as Josh sighed and walked out to the car. "We'll talk about this later," he said as he stepped outside.

"Oh no we'll talk about this now," Maya said standing in front of Lucas in all her five-foot glory as if the man didn't tower over her. "Listen you, I get that this was a joint idea and all but you robbed me of the chance to go to my best friend's wedding."

"Maya the wedding hasn't happened yet," Riley said trying to deflect Maya's rant.

"Not a word from you," Maya said looking back to Lucas. "Anyway, I get that you're in love but next time something like this happens I will cut your legs off before you make it to the door."

"Why do I put up with this," Riley said as she flopped back down onto the couch. "Maya I love you but it was our decision, we wanted something for ourselves and yes you weren't there, but it was more for me and Lucas, and Liliana. Something we could have as a family, we weren't taking anything away from you."

Maya stood there for a minute before huffing a "Fine," at them. "I'm godmother to your first born."

"Deal," Riley said before getting up and pushing her best friend to the door, and her waiting husband. "Bye Daddy," she said waving at them before they pulled out of the driveway.

They did have that big ceremony, with all of their friends and family, but as beautiful as it had been, Riley still loved their Vegas wedding more.

-5 Years Later-

Lucas was tired, the kids hadn't let him sleep the night before, all excited about Riley being pregnant, with their third child. Liliana was now twelve going on thirty and getting into that weird tween phase, Rowan was almost four years old and he swore she was eighty, and their baby brother was resting in Riley's stomach. The girls were excited about the baby to the point where they had been up painting things for the baby room until nearly midnight, and when they finally went to sleep, Rowan had a nightmare and he had stayed with her until she felt better.

His lovely wife could barely sleep because she had been uncomfortable at seven months she waddled everywhere and hated it, but when she thought he wasn't looking she would talk to their son Liam, they were naming him after his father. It had been Riley's decision to do so and it had made his heart swell. She would read to the baby, or even tell him stories that she had made up about big sisters protecting their little baby brother. The stories weren't always the same, mainly because she changed them so often and kept a recorded copy of all of them. She had done the same for Rowan and even wrote a few for Liliana when they had first gotten married.

"Hello my beautiful wife," he said walking into the room exhausted from working all day.

"Hello my tired husband, dinners in the oven for you," she said with a smile. They took turns doing everything from cooking to cleaning but the farther along she was the harder it got to do anything. Luckily his mother stopped by often to help them out.

"You know I was thinking of making your office bigger," he said after he had gotten his dinner from the kitchen. "At the rate you're going you're going to publish a million children's books and we won't have space for any of them."

"I don't need a bigger office."

"I'm doing it anyway, plus I think if we put a couch in there that can double as a bed we could finally sleep for once, because honestly we've been working too hard lately."

"Well I talked to your mother and she said she's taking Liliana and Rowan to the ballet this weekend so we can sleep then, unless this little one decides to kick me all night like he did yesterday, because heaven forbid that all three of our rugrats would sleep at the same time."

Lucas laughed and placed a hand over his wife's swollen belly, "Listen Liam let your mother sleep because if she's cranky then I'm cranky and we won't be able to finish your room in time."

The little one's hand came up to meet his and he couldn't help but smile at the gesture from the little one growing inside. He looked up at Riley and she placed her hand over his and smiled back, their family was growing and they couldn't be happier.

It was four in the morning when Liam started to dance on Riley's bladder, she couldn't help but love the little tyke but she also missed sleeping a full eight hours at a time. Lucas had been dead to the world because he hadn't slept much the night before, and she didn't have the heart to wake him so he could suffer with her. She went to the bathroom and then made her way down to the kitchen to drink something. She thought about how much her life had changed since that day in the courtroom five years before, how much she would have lost if she hadn't taken the chance and gone to Texas.

"Liam, your momma has been through so much in her life but I think right now everything is where it's supposed to be," she said rubbing her belly.

Evan had been sent to prison in New York, his parents had to pay Riley millions because of breach of contract as well as damages. She took the money and set it aside for college funds for the kids, a home for victims of abuse and several other things including a house for her parents to use when they came to visit.

Now after everything was over and her life had become more stable she couldn't help but thank them for putting her through it all because in the end Lucas was what had been waiting for her at the end of that road. Liam kicked her again making her come back to the present and look at her life as it was. Yes, she was huge right now but she didn't care, she had her family, the only thing she hated about being pregnant is how the summer heat and her body temperature made her sweat like a dog. Which reminded her of Daisy who was spending the weekend with Maya and Josh as a test to see if they could have a dog with their three kids, Olivia had gotten twin brothers two years ago and although Maya curses the day they had come to the world Riley knew she was joking. Missy and Jake moved out of her grandmother's house and took Maya and Josh's house with their little boy Derek, and their little girl Mina. Maya and Josh lived in Rosie's house now, they decided that it was a good house to build up a lasting legacy.

"How about a swim," she said to Liam who kicked her to say yes, or at least that's what she thought he was saying.

She grabbed her two-piece suit from the back room and changed, with a tunic over it and made her way to the pool, savoring the cold water as it cooled her heated skin. She didn't swim around but sat at the shallow end and watched the sun rise, while running her hand over her belly.

"There's my wife," Lucas said from behind her. He had changed into his swimming trunks and sat down next to her, kissing her on the cheek as he pulled her close. "Is someone keeping you awake?"

"Yes, and he's relentless this one, I don't think Rowan gave me this many problems but then again she had been storing them to annoy you with."

"I don't doubt that at all," he said smiling. "Do you remember the day we were out here after we made love the night before."

"For some reason early morning swims are one of my favorite things in the world," she said smiling at him.

"I'm pretty sure that's how this one was conceived as well," he laughed as he said it which made her feel all warm inside. "This pool is dangerous, maybe we should stay away."

Riley laughed at that, "You know I'm pretty sure that's how Rowan was conceived… Oh god the kids should never be allowed to swim in this pool we've tainted it."

"Well what they don't know won't hurt them."

"We should probably drain it after every time we have sex in here, just to be safe."

"I'm pretty sure it's okay, but I will drain it now if it makes you feel better."

"No I'm finally comfortable and I think it's lulling Liam to sleep because he stopped moving."

They sat there until their fingers turned into prunes and Riley's stomach made a noise, Lucas laughed and got up to help her stand before going inside to make her breakfast.

"What does my wife want?"

"Um… chocolate chip pancakes, with a banana on top, and chocolate syrup instead of maple… or maybe both."

"Your cravings are so normal it makes me wonder why I had to sit in a room and watch Missy eat a jar of pickles while she dipped them in mayonnaise and strawberry ice cream."

"That sounds gross, and if you try to feed that to me I will kill you," she said trying not to laugh.

That was their life most days, it wasn't perfect but it was theirs and they loved it. They worked hard to get there, and even though they fought, usually over something petty, like the color of the baby's room, it was something she was happy about, it was their own version of Happily Ever After.
