Fault
Chapter4
"I still say you should be home resting." Mark said as he and Gabriella headed up to a meeting.
"Mark, it's been a day, I'm fine. It's just my period." She said smiling.
"EW girl stuff." Mark said pretending to gag, but then stopping as they reached the doors.
"What's this meeting about again?" Gabriella asked.
"Coffee?" Mark answered shrugging. They walked in and saw that all of their colleagues were already waiting for them.
"Well now we can start the meeting." Spindle said as the two took their seats and looked on the packet in front of them. Packets meant lots of coffee because it was going to be a long meeting…
Troy sat in his office. His partner was sick so he had nothing to do except paper work, but like he would actually do that. He looked at Owen who was in the corner playing with his Hess truck. Troy had to bring him to work. Owen had a nightmare and he would tend to get fussy with the babysitter after a nightmare. Apparently someone was trying to kidnap them all. "Daddy, shouldn't you be working?" Owen asked his father. Troy broke out of his daze and looked at his son.
"You know, I think you're too smart." Troy said taking his feet off of his desk and taking a file off of his paperwork pile and opened it. Ten year-old girl went missing three months ago. They had finally found her dead in the river. She must've been raped more than once. Her throat was cut, but when Troy and his partner had told the parents they had broke down. They went to the hospital to see if the girl on the cold metal table was actually their daughter. She was and Jane Doe was claimed to be Dana Retina. The parents had invited Troy to appear at the funeral and as much as he didn't want to go, he did.
"Who's that?" Owen asked surprising troy. He looked over at his son who was looking at the girls picture at the crime scene. Troy immediately closed the file. Gabriella and him tried hard to keep their work lives away from him knowing it would affect him somehow.
"It's a dummy." Troy said as he picked his son up and placed him on his knee.
"Can we go see mommy, please it's boring here." Owen whined.
"Owen, your mom is in a meeting."
"So? I overheard…pindle…sindle…your boss's name that he loves me!" Owen said swinging his legs back and forth.
"Yeah, but last time you stayed in a meeting you spilled coffee on Mark's pants…he wasn't really still for the rest of the day." Troy said to his son.
Gabriella and Mark walked out of the room and yawned. "Why do we have to hear that we're getting ranked up again?" Mark said as they walked to their office.
"I don't know. Couldn't they just hand the awards to us and let us be?" Gabriella questioned back. They both looked down at the framed award that was stating they were named best in the building.
"Eh, I fell asleep. Think Spindle noticed?" Mark asked laughing. Gabriella rolled her eyes as they walked into their office. There sitting on her desk were at least a dozen pink and white roses. Her favorite.
"Did Troy do something?" Mark asked sitting down at his desk.
"No." Gabriella said as she picked the card off its little stand in the flowers.
Dear Agent Gabriella
I hope you like the flowers
Love
Me
Gabriella smiled at the note that was written. "I'm going to go down stairs and see how my two favorite men are doing." Gabriella said placing the card on her desk.
"Well one of them is right here and Owen is downstairs." Mark smirked.
"I swear one day I'm going stuff an apple down your throat." Gabriella said walking out of the office. Mark sat in his chair satisfied.
"Uh…ok." Troy said as Owen asked about sperms.
"So there fish?" Owen asked.
"Uh yeah…sure…ok." Troy said feeling awkward. His son asked way too many sexual questions.
"I want a sperm." Owen declared as Gabriella walked in. she looked at Troy with her eyes wide open.
"He kind asked…" Troy said giving a little wave.
"Mom, I want a sperm." Owen said from his coloring book.
"Sure, we'll get a fish after your puppy." Gabriella said smiling and walking over to Troy.
"Thank you so much for the flowers." Gabriella said giving him quick kiss on the lips and standing up again. Owen shook his head and looked down at his masterpiece. He was such an artistic person. He smiled at himself and got a new sheet out.
Troy was confused, but he didn't really want any moments ruined between his wife and him. "You're welcome…" Troy said trailing off. He never ordered flowers…did he?
"So I have something to tell you." Gabriella said as she looked at Troy.
"What is? Is that I'm so sexy for my shirt?" Troy asked.
"Oh my gosh, what is with men and their big ego?" Gabriella asked standing up from where she was sitting on Troy's desk.
Troy confused at her outburst stood up too. Owen just sat on the floor looking at his newest masterpiece which was of little scribbled circles. "Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Troy said hugging her.
"I just wanted to tell you something, but then you start acting like a jerk." Gabriella cried into his shoulder.
"Gabi, I'm sorry, I really am." Troy said rubbing her back. He was a little freaked out by her sudden outburst, but she was having her period.
"It's ok, I just want you and me to have dinner tonight." She said pulling away and tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"But what about Owen?" Troy asked at the mentioning of his name he looked up at his mom and dad.
"Oh I asked Brittany to baby-sit him." Gabriella said wiping her dried tears away.
"Brittany's coming over? Oh yeah!" Owen yelled. He also had a crush on her. Actually last time she baby-sat him he had sprayed Troy's cologne on him. He also complained to his mother that she hadn't told him and he was very, very unprepared because he didn't have a ring. But of course being Troy's offspring he was quiet the ladies man.
"Hey mister, no more marry me, ok." Gabriella said bending down to her son.
Owen frowned at this. He had just gotten a plastic ring from a quarter machine. "fine." He mumbled and went down to his coloring.
THAT NIGHT
"Would you like any desert?" the waiter asked. So far the night has been going well. Owen didn't try anything when Brittany came into the apartment and Gabriella was grateful. She didn't want to go home early and not tell Troy their happy news. She wanted it to be special, but why she kept putting it off scared her. Was she not ready for another baby…or in her position twins? They would have to buy a house and none the less she would like to go back to school and finish her medical degree. Her job right now bugged the hell out of her.
"I'll have a decafe coffee please." Gabriella said smiling at the waiter.
"I'll just have a coffee." Troy said as the waiter walked away. "Ok now you've been waiting all night to tell me something and I've been thinking of countless things. What is it?" Try asked obliviously wanting to know what his wife had in store for him.
…just see how he is with the idea of twins, that's it. "Sharpay's pregnant with twins." Gabriella blurted out.
"Twins? Wow, that's a lot for them." Troy said a little disappointed that was the big news.
"Yeah, um…what would you do if we got pregnant with twins?" Gabriella asked inching into the conversation.
"Well we'd have to buy a house. Uh…I don't know, but I would be thrilled." Troy said smiling.
Gabriella let out a sigh of relief inside of herself. He would be happy. That's good. "Troy-." Gabriella was just about to spill when his cell phone rang. She rolled her eyes and waited for him to answer it.
Meanwhile
"Owen, I'm telling you right now, go clean your room and then we can watch House." Brittany said as she picked up the spoon from the floor.
"But I can do it after house, Brittany the show is on now, if I miss the beginning I don't know what evil house is doing then." Owen complained. Owen was crazy a bout the show house. Brittany couldn't understand how he could watch it and especially how could he understand some of it.
"Owen, you clean your room up fast then you can watch it and if you're good, I'll get popcorn." Brittany bargained with him.
"With cheese?" Owen asked as his eyes lit up.
"Yes, with cheese." Owen ran off into his room and started cleaning. Brittany walked into the kitchen and set the spoon into the sink. She walked over to the candy cabinet and took out the popcorn. After setting it in the microwave for five minutes and taking out the cheese she cut it up and put it in a glass cup, there she set it on the counter so she could put it in the microwave to melt it. Troy had shown the cheese and popcorn to Owen and Gabriella was not grateful because he had burnt himself trying to make melted cheese once.
Brittany leaned against the counter, she was tired and Owen was just one hyper kid. She was hoping there was a movie after house that he would fall asleep too. Her thoughts were interrupted with a crash.
"Owen, did you break something?" Brittany groaned as she pushed herself off of the counter and walking down into the hallway. "Owen?"
She didn't hear Owen fussing over anything in his bedroom. She looked at the closed door and pushed it open. She looked around the empty room and saw that the bedroom window was broken. Her heart started to race. "Owen, this isn't funny. We are not playing hide and go seek!" Brittany yelled walking into the bathroom across from Owens's room, but once she did a hand covered her mouth!
She screamed into the cold hand covering her mouth, but her sounds were only muffled. She bit on his finger and he let go as he grunted. "Owen run!" Brittany yelled before the butt of a gun hit her head and knocked her out.
Brittany fell onto the ground hitting her head. Owen walked from his spot in his parents room. Even though he was told not to go into their closet and go near the blue box he did anyways. He watched on TV how to shoot a gun at an intruder. He held a black gun in his hands as he laid under the bed. He was scared and he wanted his mommy. He wanted her soft voice whispering into his ear and he wanted his dad to kick the guys ass.
"Kevin…where are you. I'm not going to hurt you." The guy inched towards his parents room and Owen squeezed his eyes shut. "There you are Kevin." The man smiled as he was face to face with Owen.
