Riley

"Why are you smiling?" I asked, which made him chuckled.

"We're going to be parents, Riles. Aren't you happy?" He replied, of course, I am. But this is not the right time, I don't even know if I'm going to be a great mother.

"I am, Farkle. But c'mon we're too young." I said, his face went pale and awful. "We're young, but we're married. And we know that this is going to happen."

"Yes, we're married. But that doesn't mean that we are ready to have a baby." I said tiredly.

"You can't say that. You don't know what's going to happen in the future!" He was almost yelling at this point. My head was pounding and tears were pouring out of my eyes. He hugged me tightly.

"I'm sorry, Riles. I didn't mean to yell at you." He looked apologetic, he looked at me. And kissed my forehead.

"Sunshine, listen to me." He held my face gently and turned it towards me. "This kid will be our happiness. And the only matters is us."

The next day...

We went to the doctor for my first pregnancy appointment. It was long and the doctor went over many things. When we got back home I was exhausted.

I got on the couch and turned the tv on struggling to stay awake. Farkle ran quickly into the kitchen and made me a meal; Lasagna. He brought it back into the living room.

"Riles, I know that you're hungry that's why I made you some dinner." He said walking over to me and passing it. "I smiled at him and took the plate into his hands and set it on the center table. I held onto his shoulders as I planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Thanks, sweetie," I said before he grabbed the plate and placed it on my lap. "I'm so lucky to have you, Farkle."

He has been working a really good job as an editor-in-chief of Minkus International, besides his father is the owner of the company.

8 months later...

I realized how quickly the time went by... Farkle and I were in the hospital just waiting for the birth. December 24th was my due date and we couldn't have been happier. Also if you're wondering what's the baby's gender, actually they're twins. The other one is a boy, and the other one is a girl.

My parents and Farkle's parents were on one side of the hospital bed and Farkle was on the other side of the bed.

When the twins were born I held the two wonderful children in my arms. Tears formed in both of our eyes when we looked at the babies. "Want to hold your children?" I asked and he held them gently.

"Hey, Pluto and Mars!" He cooed at them in his arms. Which made me laugh hard. Then I thought to myself, Pluto and Mars that our favorite planets. But I don't want that name for our babies.

"Farkle, stop calling them like that." I giggled, His eyes bore into my eyes. "What? isn't that cute?" He asked I rolled my eyes. "I don't want that name for my kids."

"What name do you like?"

"How about, Francis and Francine?"

He rolled his eyes. "No way, Sunshine." He said, his eyes went large. He kinda blanked out for a second. "How about, Sunshine and Sky?" that's a good one, Sunshine symbolizes cheerfulness; happiness, while the Sky symbolizes purity.

Farkle

It was the night before Christmas and still had no idea what to give Riley as a gift. If I could only wrap up my love for her, I would have done it.

One day, while we're hanging out, she asked me if I knew Adam Sandler's song "Grow old with you." I told her I did, that I was familiar with it, but didn't have it memorized. She asked me to memorize it so that I could sing it while she was in the hospital. Because she'd requested it, I went ahead and did it for her, listening to the song and memorizing it.

Riley's still in the hospital, taking care of our twins. This is my first Christmas with Riley, and we're going to spend it in the hospital. I need to buy her a meaningful gift. She already has a gift for me, and that is our twins.

I opened the radio to listen to some songs and everything that was played on air reminded me of Riley. There was a particular song I heard, though, that hit me right in the heart. I had an idea then. I found the chords for it on the internet. I wasn't very good at playing the guitar, but all that really mattered was that Riley would understand what I wanted to say.

I went back to the hospital this afternoon. She was half asleep, and I bent down and kissed her on the lips as though to wake her, she stirs and she quickly opened her eyes. I smiled. She was so lovely. Even though she had gained more weight and gotten considerably paler. In my eyes, she was still lovely.

"Hey, sweetie." She mumbled. I took out the guitar I had hidden under the bed earlier and started to sing her "More than words" by Westlife.

I looked at her in the eye as I sang. I wanted to hold her in my arms. She was in front of me, the prettiest girl who had the power to change my life, to change my viewpoint. I was so crazy in love with her. I let go of the guitar and held her soft hand. And took out a folded piece of paper.

"I love you, Riley.

I love you, because you actually put effort into me.

I love you, because nobody has ever given me the love that you have given me and you are the only one that could love me this way.

I love you, because you always make me feel that I am worth something.

I love you, because you have a nuturing nature and you take care of me.

I love you, because you made me smile when I almost forgotten how to.

I love you, because you have huge and honest heart.

I love you, and everything little detail about you.

I love you, because you are simply you."

"I can't tell you how thankful I am, for making me feel this way. And I promised that, I, Farkle Minkus, will always be here for you, Riley Matthews." She giggled and smiled happily. "Whenever you need me, I'll always be there for you no matter what. You can always count on me for anything -- day or night. I'll be there to protect you and our children forever and always."

Riley, Sky, and Sunshine were the best gifts that I received in my life. I will treasure them in my heart.
