Maya looked around as she saw she was definitely not very aware of her situation.
She looked at her engagement ring as her fiancé were talking to his older brother.
Being twenty-six weeks in the whole thing she certainly was pretty big but she also looked forward to her wedding date which was not even three weeks away.

"So, how does eighteen feel?" Maya asked as Riley smiled.
"Eighteen years old and eighteen weeks pregnant. Exhausting," Riley said and Maya laughed at the funny gesture.
"Okay, guys. I have something for Riley," Maya said as she grabbed a guitar and sat down aside on the couch.

"There are things in life you'll learn and
In time you'll see
'Cause out there somewhere
It's all waiting
If you keep believing
So don't run, don't hide
It will be alright
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you
Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
Some where out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes
There will be times on this journey
All you'll see it darkness
Out there somewhere daylight finds you
If you keep believing
So don't run, don't hide
It will be all right
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you
Just take a look through my eyes
There's better place
Some where out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes
All the things that you can change
There's a meaning in everything
And you will find all you need
There's no much to understand
Just take a look through my eyes
There's better place
Some where out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes
Take a look through my eyes."

"Thank you, Maya. This is so nice. Thank you everyone," Riley said.
"Well we are going to bed and can hopefully trust you kids. Good night," Cory said as he and Topanga went to their bedroom.

"I'm actually also really tired guys. Think I'm going to bed as well," Riley said.
"Can I ask you something first?" Lucas said.
"If you love me you will let me sleep," Riley said and Maya smiled knowing what the nineteen year old guy was going to say.
"I do love you and that's why I want you to marry me," Lucas said.
"Okay... Wait, what!" Riley said as Lucas went down on one knee pulling out a box opening it.
"Riley Matthews, will you marry me?" Lucas said and Josh slightly went behind his fiancé.
"Of course I will," Riley said.

Lucas slid the ring over Riley's finger pulling her in close for a passionate kiss.
He did it.
He asked Riley Matthews to marry him.

Riley's ring is the cover photo up above.
