Chapter 2: Daddy Troy
"Gabi, this is Alexander Gabriel Bolton, Gabe is his nickname and his 6 years old." Troy carried Gabe in his arms. "… and I'm his new daddy." Troy grinned.
"Daddy?" Gabriella was shocked about what Troy said. "you married or illegal?" Troy shook his head when Gabriella backed away a little.
"Brie, I adopted him… and you gonna help me with him." Troy and Gabriella sat on the bed while Gabe was sitting on Troy's lap.
"Huh? What has this gotta do with me?" Gabriella was more questioned.
"You…" Troy emphasized the word 'YOU' and pointed at her. "… told me that I need company, well… what better way to have a child as a company to make a day wonderful and full of happiness." Troy grinned at Gabriella as in every word he leaned closer and closer to her.
"you actually serious? I mean… you're Troy…"
"I'm really serious, Brie." Troy put on an annoyed face and Gabriella held back a laugh that will surely annoy Troy for good, or let's say for bad.
Gabriella straightened up. "well then, if you're really serious… shall we get started?"
"sure… but first, lunch." Troy stood up and put down Gabe and held his hand. "let's go."
The trio went to McDonald's and ate their lunch then went to the mall.
"first things first, we need to go shopping for Gabe clothes and other stuff he needs, especially toys."
"okay…"
Troy used his credit card on paying all the stuff that Gabriella bought for Gabe. They had a bodyguard to carry all the things they bought.
After they shopped, people were staring at them. They had bodyguards at the back of them pushing 12 full carts.
"okay. We're done shopping. What's next?" Troy carried and exhausted Gabe. Gabe rested his head on his dad's shoulder, and started to fall asleep.
"next step is you need to get rid of your Porsche and buy a family car, that is child-friendly."
"What?!" Troy whispered near Gabriella, trying not to wake Gabe.
"you said you wan to be daddy figure."
"not really that…"
"but you need it, so Gabe will feel comfortable. Because there is no way your gonna make Gabe mess up your car…" Gabriella stated. "I know you to well."
"okay, you're right. But can I keep my car and just buy a new one?" Troy begged.
"it's up to you… it's not my car." Troy gave Gabriella a quick kiss on the cheek. Gabriella looked down as she went red.
"So, what car do you think is nice?" Gabriella asked as Troy found an open magazine on a shelf. He looked at it and it read 'Cars & Lifestyle Magazine' and at the right side it said 'need a perfect car for your family?' . Troy quickly opened the magazine and found the car he was looking for.
Gabriella walked up to Troy as he closed the magazine. "found anything?" Troy nodded.
After they went shopping they headed to a Toyota store (or we could call it a branch, I think). They looked for the car that Troy was saying. After 10 minutes, the store finally got a stock of the car. It was a Toyota Yaris Verso (picture in my profile). After buying it, it was going to be sent to Troy's house tomorrow morning.
The day was exhausting. They got home and ate dinner, then Gabriella put Gabe to sleep in Troy's room.
Troy walked up to Gabriella. "so, what's next?" Gabriella scanned around the house, and spotted the guest room door.
"next is… you turn the guest room into Gabe's room." Gabriella smiled cheekily.
"What?! But the furni—" Troy was cut by Gabriella's 'yahuh' look.
"you were saying…" Gabriella said with an annoying tone.
"we'll get on that tomorrow." Troy smiled fakely.
When Gabriella had gone, Troy collapsed on the couch and put both of his hands on his face. "Being a dad is really hard." Troy groaned.
--
The next day, Troy woke up late and found he was sleeping on his own. He quickly got up and got out and started shouting. "Gabe?! Where are you?!"
"Good morning. His in the garden, Sir." Alfred, Troy's butler, said as Troy quickly ran to the garden and found Gabe talking to Philip, their Latin gardener.
"Gabe…" Troy said softly as Gabe turned around and Troy carried him. "don't you ever scare me like that." Gabe nodded. "thanks for looking out for him, Philip."
"no problem, Señor." Philip went back to work as Troy and Gabe went back in.
After they ate they sat on the couch and started to get to know each other when Gabriella came in.
"you ready, Troy?" Troy nodded and went over to Gabriella.
"let's go make my house a child-friendly, child-safety environment. That includes outside, right?"
"might as well."
Troy looked at Gabe. "And you Mr. are gonna stay at my room and not to go out until I say so… okay?"
"okay." Gabe grinned.
"and… stay out of trouble." Gabe nodded and ran to Troy's room.
"let's get started."
They first started out side, 2 men carried some toys to Troy's back yard. They put cars all sorts (picture of the cars in my profile) and the most special one was the basketball court (it's pretty cool, when you shoot and score, the score will appear at the ring just like a court. But it's just a ring and a stand. Picture in profile). Troy had built arrange people to build a fence at the backyard and always put safety floats right beside the pool just incase someone gets drowned.
After making the backyard a playground, they went in and made the house child-safety environment. The sockets with covers, safety lock, windows with bars that Troy can only activate open, cord clamps, corner cushions, and every single safety equipment is at Troy's house.
Troy and Gabriella headed upstairs at the guest room with 4 carriers, and 2 professional house painters. They designed Gabe's room into a basketball and race car room, both of Gabe's favorites (picture of the room in my profile).
After they've finished, they went down stairs and ate dinner with Gabe. After dinner, Troy put Gabe to sleep in his bedroom, he was afraid that he might inhale the smell of the paint but Troy promised Gabe that he could sleep at his new room tomorrow.
"Hey…" Gabriella sat beside Troy.
"hey… have you seen the car?"
"Nope not yet." Gabriella looked at Troy and smiled, he gladly returned it.
"well, come by early tomorrow and I'll show you how great it is." Troy said as excitement went through him.
"okay. Speaking of great you did great tonight. The house looks perfect. A job well done, Daddy." Gabriella rested on Troy's chest. Hearing how fast his heart beat made her giggled.
"umm… why call me Daddy?" Troy was confused. At first Gabriella didn't take it seriously that he's become a Dad and now she takes it.
"because you've done it, Troy. You did everything a Daddy should do. Good night, Daddy Troy." Gabriella snuggled into Troy. He suddenly tensed up but when Gabe went to find him he calmed down, knowing that they were not alone. Troy was scared that something might happen to them and Gabriella will hate him.
Gabe walked to Troy rubbing his eyes and holding a stuffed toy car. "Daddy?"
"Yes Gabe?" Troy looked at him.
"I had a nightmare and I can't sleep."
"Com'on… sleep with Daddy and your Aunt Gabi." Troy opened his right arm for Gabe to snuggle into him.
Gabe snuggle his head onto Troy. Troy felt like he was a family man, he felt like he was engage to the beautiful woman beside him, and has a son with her just at his right side. He let out a happy sigh and Gabe had felt it and looked up at Troy.
"Good night, Daddy Troy."
"Good night, Gabe." Troy kissed his forehead and Gabe snuggle back to sleep, drawing a smile on his face. "Good night, son." Troy lastly said before fading to sleep.
