I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier then ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why
'Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to december, turn around and make it all right and
I go back to december all the time
These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side,
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye
So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to december, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to december all the time
I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right
I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand
But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine and
I go back to december, turn around and make it alright and
I go back to december, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to december all the time
As Gabriella stared at Troy she could tell he was still hurt inside.
"You want to know why I left?" She asked confidently. She saw Troy tense but continued. "I left because I was…Pregnant…" Troy's head snapped up and his eyes filled with tears.
"Why didn't you tell me." He asked with a hoarse voice.
"Because I didn't want to ruin your future." Gabriella said as the tears ran down her cheeks. Troy moved to wipe away the tears. Gabriella leaned into his touch.
"Brie… You and a baby would never ruin my future…Sure it would have had to change but now that Im done with college I could be part of it all right?" Troy asked hopefully.
"Yeah…Allie can you bring TJ over here?" Gabriella asked her boss.
Allie walked over with a blue bundle in her arms. She past the bundle to Gabi and smiled at a tear stained Troy. She kissed the top of Gabi's head and walked back to her office.
"Troy I want you to meet your son….Troy Jacob Bolton." Troy smiled at his name sake.
"Can I hold him?" Troy whispered.
"Of course you can." Gabriella handed troy the 3 month old and ran a hand threw TJ's wisps of blond hair. TJ opened his eyes when he felt the movement around him. He looked up at his dad and looked into the same shade of blue as his own.
"Hey buddy...Im your daddy." Troy said as a tear ran down his cheek.
"He looks a lot like you. Has your appetite too. Already loves his basketball PJ's. Only Pjs he will not throw up on." Gabriella said smiling up at Troy.
"I love you…Both of you." Troy said leaning down to kiss the 5'4 beauty in front of him.
Gabriella hoped one day her son would be exactly like the wonderful 6'8 man in front of her.
