Promise Me (Lucaya)

Maya's POV
"Maya...it's time to tell Lucas."

At this point I was really annoyed with Riley.

"Riley! Maybe I don't have to have the baby-"

"Maya! It's Lucas' baby too! You can't just make that decision on your own!"

I thought about it, Riley is right. It is Lucas' baby too. At that moment Lucas called in for our daily FaceTime.

I took a deep breath and answered.

"Hi Lucas!"

"Hey! How are you doing?"

"I'm fine-"

Ow! Did you just hit me?

Riley raised her eyebrows.

I took a deep breath.

"Lucas...I have to tell you something..."

"Ok...what is it?"

I ran my hands through my hair.

"Umm...I'm-I'm pregnant."

Lucas' eyes widened

"Maya! That's fantastic!"

I looked up at him. He looked happy, more happy than normal.

"I can't believe it! I'm gonna be a father!"

"Wait...your not angry?"

"Why would I be angry?"

"I don't know, that I got pregnant before we got married? What your parents are gonna think."

"My parents love you, and they have been asking when they would have grand kids before I even proposed!" Lucas laughed

I'm glad to see him like this. He really truly is happy! If Lucas is happy so am I.

I wish you could come home so I don't have to be pregnant alone.

"Only a few more months! I promise!"

Lucas is so positive about everything. The baby, Afghanistan, everything.

"A few more months." I repeated

"same time tomorrow?"

"Sure"

"Maya?"

Yeah?

"I can't wait to come home."

"I can't wait till you come home either." I smiled

After I ended the call I looked over at Riley who was sitting on my bed reading a magazine.

"You just hit a pregnant person you know!"

"I'm sorry! You just needed a little boost to tell Lucas, I'm knew he would be happy." Riley smiled

"Yeah, I guess...since you hit me, you are buying lunch. You wouldn't make a pregnant lady pay for her own food would you?"

"Being pregnant is gonna be your excuse for everything isn't it?"

"Yeah, I smiled
let's go to a buffet..."
