NEVER EXPECTED THIS
Hey everyone! So you might be a little confused as to why I have a new story when I am still working on Replaced, but I just had to get this off my chest. The next chapter of Replaced should be coming soon. Updates for that might come quicker for that, but I am done with school on Wednesday, so they will probably be coming pretty quickly. I hope you like it!
PROLOUGE
Gabriella sighed and laid back into the hospital bed, completely exhausted. She had just given birth to a beautiful baby girl. Lucky for her it hadn't been terrible, for she was only in labor for about 4 hours and was able to get an epidural. The pregnancy was a different story, mostly because the father was all the way across the country.
"Knock, knock," a female voice said from the doorway. Gabriella broke out of her thoughts to see her best friend Rachel, standing in the doorway.
"Hey," Gabriella smiled slightly as Rachel walked in.
"How you feeling?" Rachel asked.
"Good. Tired," Gabriella replied. Rachel nodded and pulled a chair next to Gabriella's bed before sitting down.
"You have to tell him Gabi," Rachel said seriously and Gabriella sighed.
"Rachel…" Gabriella protested.
"Gabi, you grew up without a father. Do you really want your daughter to go through the same thing," Rachel asked.
"No," Gabriella mumbled.
"So tell him."
"But what if he doesn't want to meet her," Gabriella asked sadly. "I mean the last thing he wants is to be tied down."
"How do you know that?" Rachel asked.
"Maybe because he's become New York's biggest player," Gabriella shot back.
"Well then, if he doesn't want to meet her, then he doesn't deserve to be in her life. So I say you call him and give him a choice. Tell him he has one chance," Rachel replied and Gabriella nodded. Rachel took Gabriella's cell phone off the table in the room and held it out for her. Gabriella hesitantly took it. "Do you want to be alone?"
"Yes please," Gabriella replied and Rachel nodded, standing up.
"Good luck," she said.
"Thanks," Gabriella mumbled before and Rachel walked out. She took a few deep breaths, thinking about what she was going to say. After figuring it out she scrolled down until she reached his name. She stared at the highlighted letters and took a deep breath before pressing send. The phone rang and part of her was praying that he wouldn't pick up. However, a few rings later she heard a male voice on the other side.
"Hello."
"Hey Troy, it's Gabriella," she replied nervously.
"Wow. Hey. Long time no talk," he replied. She could tell from his tone of voice that he was shocked to hear from her.
"Yeah," she sighed.
"What's up?"
"Umm, there is something I need to tell you," she replied hesitantly.
"Ok, what is it?" She could just imagine that confused look on his face.
"What I'm about to tell you is probably going to shock you but…"
"What is it Gabriella?" he asked, clearly more confused. She took a deep breath.
"I know our relationship was fake, but that last night was real. And because of it you are a father. You can come meet your child, or you can't. It is completely your decision."
