Riley Matthews had recently had a baby girl, Stella with her husband of 3 years, Mr Farkle Minkus. They had been living in Greenwich Village New York, along with her best friend Maya Hunter and her husband Mr Lucas Friar. The 2 of them also had a 11 month old baby girl, Elle.

About a month into motherhood, Riley had found herself struggling to keep up with having a baby and working. Riley had no other choice but to turn to the best mother she knew and ask for help.

So on this particular Tuesday morning, Riley had found herself on the doorstep of the now Ms Maya Friar.

Riley knocked on the door nervously waiting for Maya to open up

When the door opened it revealed a short blonde in a pair of leggings and a tank top with a bouncing baby on her hip

"Oh hey Riles what brings you hear so early in the morning" she smiled overjoyed that she was able to see her best friend

"Maya I'm so sorry I showed up so unannounced, but I really need your help"

"Whats wrong" Maya asked and Stella who was also with Riley started crying

"That's whats wrong" Riley said on the verge of tears

"Oh honey it's okay" Maya said as she quickly grabbed Stella and started cradling her

"Lucas" May yelled and Lucas came rushing in, in a pair of guy shorts and no shirt

"Yeah baby watch you need" he smiled "Oh hey Riles"

"Hey Lucas"

"Baby, will you please take Elle" Maya asked sweetly

"No problem" he smiled at his wife, grabbing his daughter from her

"Riles why don't you come in and take a load off" Maya said guiding Riley into the house "I'll be right back"

"Thank you" she sighed

Maya walked upstairs to where Lucas was putting Elle to sleep

"Hey baby" she whispered

"Hey" he said slowly rocking Elle

Maya and Lucas stood their in the middle of their baby girls bedroom rocking 2 little girls

Maya quietly started to sing to the girls

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Both girls had instantly fell asleep at the sound of Maya's soothing voice

While all of this was happening, Riley watched in awe from the door at the couple handling the little girls

"Hey Maya"Lucas asked as the two still stood their with the kids

"Yes hun" she asked not taking her eyes off the kids

"Would you maybe, want another kid"

"I would love to have another kid with you"

"Really" he smiled looking up

"Yeah, I've always had a dream of being with the love of my life and having a big ol family"

"That's awesome, I love you Maya"

"I love you too"
