Thank you guys again for all the support on this story, I REALLY appreciate it. O.k. so I decided to sit down and think about where this story was going and I came up with a great outline, so I'll have a better chance at getting these chapters out faster. This one was supposed to be up yesterday, but some people showed up to my apartment and we all had a party so sorry about that. Anyways, ENJOY!! ;-)
Chapter 7
June 6th 6:35 A.M. Bolton Kondo
Her skin was soft beneath my touch as I trailed my fingers up and down her back. We made love last night. I haven't had the chance to hold her that close in years. The small curves of her body, the way her body felt next to mine, felt all familiar; the best feeling in the world. We were us again. We were Troy and Gabriella, the unstoppable duo. Nothing could get in our way and nothing could destroy what we have. Not even when she left did our love diminish, proving we were destined to be together, forever. I can only imagine, holding her close and dancing the night away at our 70th wedding anniversary, Belle all grown up with a family of her own, watching us live out a fairytale. Hopefully Belle can find this kind of love. Love that will last for all of eternity, just like Brie's and mine. But, she's only 4 and needs to stay my little girl for as long as she'll let me, which will hopefully be forever.
I could feel Brie move in my arms as she wrapped a leg tighter around mine and squeezed my side. She took a deep breath and sighed as I kissed the top of her head. Our bodies were sprawled out over the bed, the comforter and sheets moving in every which way except for the one that was draped over our naked bodies. I could feel her smile against my chest.
"Hey." I whispered against her ear.
Her smile widened as she propped her chin on my chest, getting a better view of my face. "Hey." Her whisper was soft, giving me a chill. I smiled.
"Hey." I repeated soft with a giant grin.
She breathed a laugh. "Is that all you can say, Wildcat?"
I kept the giant grin. "Right now, with you, yes."
She giggled and kissed my chest while stroking my side. "I know how you feel." I let the hand that had been on her back drift up and slide into her hair. She closed her eyes and sighed as I played with a few strands of hair. "I know you told me not to say it, but I'm so sorry. It was stupid for me to have left without even telling you I was leaving. I should have told you I was pregnant, but I was scared."
"Shhh, its o.k. Brie." I kept on playing with her hair until something she had said stuck in my mind. "You knew you were pregnant when you left?" I asked, slightly confused.
She rested her head back on my chest, holding me tight. "I'm so sorry."
I continued to play with her hair as I tried to figure out why she didn't tell me. "Why?" I asked simply, not to upset her. She seemed like she was on the verge of tears.
She took in a shaky breath. "I was scared."
"Scared that I would run?!" I asked, a little shocked.
She sniffed. "Yes. I mean, I knew you would take the responsibility but there was this little voice in my head that was telling me you would run and leave me to fend for myself. I didn't want to listen to it, but than, when you denied your invitation to join the NBA draft early, it scared me. I didn't want us to stop you from reaching your dream. I know what it's like to loose a dream, and I didn't wan that to happen to you." She drew in a few more shaky breaths, confirming she was crying.
I kissed the top of her head and held her closer to my body. I had to think. If she had told me she was pregnant what would I have done? I know for a fact that I would have supported her, but what about my dream? Would I have been able to take care of them and finish basketball? I would like to think that I could have, but thinking back to my senior year of high school, with only minor stress I couldn't function properly. That has to be what would have happened if she had stayed and told me. After a while I would have dropped basketball, and maybe even college, to stay and take care of her and the baby.
It hit me like a brick to the face.
She knew I would have dropped everything. She knew that when I found out she was pregnant I would have put her first, like it should be anyways, and forget all about basketball. She didn't want that. "You wanted me to be happy with my dream job and dream life." I whispered. She just nodded into my chest and I sighed. "Brie, I was never happy." She looked up at me with a questioning look. "After you left, I didn't know what to do with myself. When I got back from basketball practice and saw you were gone, only leaving behind a note that said not to try and find you. I had done just that. I grabbed a ticket for New York."
"Why did you go to New York?" She heard Sharpay tell her this, but was still confused on why he had gone there.
I gave her a confused look. "You had told me you got accepted at NYU?!" It was NYU she had gone to right?
She closed her eyes. "I never got accepted to NYU. I had used it as an excuse instead of telling you I was pregnant."
I looked away for a second to process what it all meant. NYU was never in the picture. It was a cover up. How could I have been so blind? I kissed the top of her head and sighed. "So, where did you go? Here?" She couldn't have come straight here, she had had very little money and had never been here before.
"No, I called my aunt who lives in Minnesota and she flew me out to her. The only reason she had allowed me to go to her was because I had told her you ran. I felt horrible for lying to her, especially about that, but I had convinced myself I needed to get away from you and Minnesota seemed like the best place to go. You would have never imagined searching there, if you had wanted to chase after me."
"Of course I chased after you. I love you and loved you then. When you left, I didn't know what to do with myself. Every game I played after you left was played for you. Somehow I felt that if I won for you, you would come back to me, but you never did. After my first season with the Lakers, I still had no trace of you and I gave up. When I wasn't being forced out of my house, I was sitting around, thinking about you. I had this picture of us from our first summer as a couple and I was always holding it, staring at it like it held the answer to where you were." I kissed her head again. "I love you so much Brie and never stopped loving you. After you left, I realized that my dreams had changed. Sure I wanted, and still want, to be a Laker, but I realized that you were my dream. I always dreamed of marrying you and growing old with you, having kids and just being together. Now, I have my dream and nothing can take that away from me." The whole time, I spoke soft, letting her know that I wasn't mad. She had a reason for leaving and I had to respect that reason, even if it made no sense at all. I owe her that much. "I don't want any of my dreams if they don't include you and Belle." He lifted her head off my chest again and sat up. I followed and rested a hand on one shoulder, and lightly kissing her other. "I love you Brie so much and Belle. You have to know that I will ALWAYS be there for the both of you."
She turned her head and looked in to my eyes. "I love you Troy."
I scooted over towards her and lightly pressed my lips to hers. I rested my forehead on hers and sighed, whispering. "I love you too, Gabriella."
June 6th 8:00 A.M. Car
The ride back to the apartment was quiet, but relaxing. My fingers were entwined with his as he drove us back. Nicky had called around 7 saying how she had been called into work today and we needed to back. Troy didn't know this, but I could have easily called Mrs. Thompson up and have her watch Belle, but I'm sure she was worried about where we were and I missed her. I could also tell Troy missed her as well. It's so cute tom him with her. He can barely stand being away from her, and is always asking questions about her. I can't help but smile, remembering how they played together at the park yesterday and how Belle had clung to him as soon as she met him. She's our little miracle. Well ,I guess she's also a big miracle seeing as Troy and I would have never known each other was here if she hadn't ran off and jumped into a hot tub! One day, when she's older, I will thank her for all of this.
Finally, we pulled up to the apartment complex and got out. A soon as Troy was around the other side of the car, he grabbed my hand and smiled. Today is going to be a good day. It has to be. We made our long truck up the stairs till we hit the 2nd floor and made our way to apartment 1202. I reached into my purse andgrabbed the key, swinging the door open.
"MOMMY!! BIG BLUE!!" We heard Belle's screech as she ran into the entry way and flung herself into my arms. Weird, seeing how she always runs into Troy's arms. When she was placed nicely on my hip, se glared over at Troy. "Where take mommy!?" She demanded in the cutest voice ever. She was angry with Troy for not bringing me back last night. My little girl was already protecting me.
He chuckled. "Mommy and I went to dinner."
She kept her glare. "But it breakfast!" I chuckled.
Troy put his head down. "I'm sorry little blue. Do you forgive me?" He asked in the saddest voice ever. I think he even managed to produce a tear. Show off.
She frowned and held her arms out for Troy to take her. She rested her head on his shoulder. "I sorry big blue. Me no mean to yell."
Troy looked at her and smiled. "It's o.k."
Belle gave him a hug. "Belle, where's Nicky?" I asked suddenly realizing that Nicky was no where to be found.
"Nicky shower." Belle cheered.
"Belle! I told you to stay in the bathroom! Belle? Bel….Oh hey." Nicky waltzed out of the bathroom wearing only a towel around her body and one on her head. She immediately ran back into the bathroom seeing troy in the room.
I turned to look at Troy who was turned around facing the other direction. "Is she gone?" he asked, somewhat disturbed by the sight. It's not that Nicky was bad looking, it's just he didn't want to see her half naked. I giggled. "Yeah. I'm just going to talk to her for a second. I'll be back." Before I walked away, troy grabbed my arm with his free hand and pulled me into him, kissing me sweetly.
"I'll miss you." He whispered into my ear. All I managed to do was nod and smile, too much in a whirl for actual words.
I walked away and headed towards my bedroom where Nicky was getting changed.
"Hey chica!" Nicky said from the closet.
"Hey Nicky." I sat down on the bed, my lips still warm from his kiss.
She walked out, dressed this time, and smiled. "I'm going to guess the night and morning went very well." She giggled.
I smiled big, remembering our light of endless love. "He was so gentle. I had forgotten just how good he was."
"O.k. spill!" She chuckled, sitting next to me on the bed.
I moved one of my knees up onto the bed, facing Nicky. "O.k. there isn't a man in this world that can satisfy a woman the way he does. He doesn't tease you like some men do, and, he doesn't just jump on you. We took our time getting undressed, reveling in each others presence and taking in what we had been deprived of the last 5 years. His hands were so soft and delicate, touching each and every part of my body, oh my god. I didn't want it to ever end. It felt like the first, when we were in his truck." Nicky looked at me confused. "The first time we had sex was in his truck senior year. We had many chances to do it before, but we would chicken out, afraid of how we might be. You know I had gone to Stanford on an early orientation and so I had to leave before prom, missing it. Well, Troy showed up on the day of prom in his beat up truck after having drove over 1000 miles to surprise." I smiled big. "He told me that his prom was wherever I was. It was so roman tic. Well, later, we were getting ready to start the drive back to Albuquerque for graduation when one thing led to another and we had sex in his truck. That's what last night was like. The world didn't matter, it was just us and no one else. I loved it."
Nicky just smiled at me. "You too really are in serious love. It's once in a lifetime that you get to witness a love like this and I'm glad I got that chance."
I hugged Nicky. "Thank you so much for watching Belle last night. I owe you one."
"Yes, yes you do." We laughed together and headed back out into the living room where we saw both Troy and Belle fast asleep on the living room floor. He was leaning up against the couch while she was in his lap, her body curled up into his. His arms were wrapped around her, as if protecting her from harm. I gave a small smile. They are perfect.
Nicky smiled as well. "Aww, they look so cute together, and they look so much alike!"
"I know. It's cute." We walked into the kitchen and I saw some mail on the counter. "What's this?"
"Oh, your next door neighbor brought those over. Apparently the mailman gave him your mail. Weird huh!?" She opened the fridge and grabbed a sunny D.
I looked at the envelope and saw that it was from my mother. I quickly ripped it open and pulled out an invitation.
You're invited to my Party!
When: June 18th, 2009
Where: My house
Why: Because you are my daughter and I want
To see my granddaughter!!
RSVP: Don't! I know you'll be here!! Love lots,
MOM!!
"Ha!" I giggled.
"What is it?" Nicky asked.
"My mom sent me an invitation for her birthday party that I've known about for the past 2 months!"
"Oh that's great! Troy can go with you too!"
I shot a look 'o shit' to Nicky. Yes, I wanted to be family with him, yes my mom knew who he was, but mom doesn't like Troy since she thinks he ran out me when I told him I was pregnant. Only Troy, Nicky, Taylor, Chad and I know the truth. My mom had sworn to not make a scene to his parents because he did look scared when I had told him and many other lies that I had made up. Him showing up with me and Belle, smiles and all, would drive her up the wall and create a scene. I can't tell her this over the phone, but I can't leave without Troy. This is going to SUCK!! But I guess I asked for it.
"Is there something wrong?" A concerned Nicky asked.
I shook my head and looked back into the living, watching Troy sleep with Belle safely in his arms. "This is going to be harder than I thought."
June 6th 1:17 P.M. Montez Apartment
I jerked awake to the sound of the SpongeBob Squarepants theme song blaring from the TV. I looked down and saw that Belle's foot had landed on the clicker and had punched the volume full blast. I grabbed the clicker and quickly hut it off, checking to see if she had awaken at all. Thankfully, she was still sound asleep in my arms, her head lay against my left arm as she sat in my lap. I tried to move my arm a bit to gain blood flow, but I found a sleeping Gabriella on my shoulder. She had sat down next to me and placed her head on my shoulder, an arm wrapped behind my back. I had my two girls, asleep in my arms and I couldn't ask for a better way to wake up.
I frowned as I felt Gabriella stir next to me and open her eyes. She looked up at me and smiled. "Hey. Have a good nap?" She asked a little sleepy.
I yawned. "Ah, yeah. I haven't gotten that good a sleep in years." I yawned again, this time scratching the back of my neck.
In my movement, Belle woke up and sat up, scratching the back of her neck. I chuckled. "She really is just like me."
"More than you know." She giggled.
Belle turned in my lap to face me and smiled. "Big blue! I fell asleep on you." She giggled and I smiled.
"Yes you did, but it's o.k. I can be your giant pillow."
"Yeah, giwant piwow!!" She cheered and gave me a giant hug. I smiled big. I'm glad that she likes me so much. If she didn't, that would be the hardest thing to have to deal with. I wonder how much she'll love me when she finds out I'm actually her father?! "Mommy, can we play at park with big blue? Me's not him to leave!" She clung to my body and I chuckled.
"I'm not going anywhere little blue."
Her big blue eyes stared at me in surprise. "You live with me and mommy?"
"Yes, me live with you and mommy." Actually, they're going to move back to California with me, but she wouldn't understand that.
"What about L.A.?" Gabriella asked, sitting up.
"Well, I was hoping you both would move in with me, back in L.A. I have a giant apartment that we can all live in, together, as a family." I smiled at Gabriella, but soon frowned when she didn't look happy. "What's wrong?"
"We have a home here, Troy. Belle has made friends here. I have friends here." She looked down.
I didn't want to upset her, so I just shook my head. "We can figure out all the details later."
She looked into my eyes and saw the desperation in them. I don't want to fight now. We can fight later. "O.k., but we really do need to talk about this Troy."
I gave a small smile. "I know, but we have some time."
"Him not Troy, mommy, him big blue. Daddy name Troy."
I stared at Belle in complete shock. She couldn't realize that I'm her dad. I looked at Gabi. She returned the gaze, both of us having no idea what to do next. Belle crawled off my lap and ran into her bedroom.
"Troy, I'm so sorry." She looked really sorry, though it wasn't her fault.
"See!" Belle said as she made her way back to me, sitting on my lap. She had my senior picture again, holding it up to my face. "Big blue hair long, daddy hair short." I sighed, trying to stay calm as my daughter pretty much told me I wasn't her father as she held a picture of myself up to my face.
I felt Brie grab my arm and squeeze it, trying to comfort me. She knew it killed me inside that Belle didn't know I was her father, but still wouldn't tell her. I can't just say, 'hey belle, I'm your daddy' that wouldn't end well, but every part of me was dying to say it anyways.
Carefully, I set Belle in Brie's lap and walked off into the bathroom, not saying a word. I set my hands on the sink and looked at my reflection in the mirror. My long dirty blonde hair was down, almost covering my eyes. It was messy from not giving it a second thought after waking up with Brie in my arms. My eyes were heavy from lack of good sleep and my jaw was clenched as I remembered Belle didn't know I was her father.
The feelings that were driving through me hurt like hell. She didn't get it. She just thought I was some friend of hers. Maybe it's better that way? If I ever did anything stupid, she wouldn't hate me like a girl hates her father, she would hate me as a friend and come running back into my arms latter. No! She has to know! I want to know what it feels like to be called daddy! I want to come home after an away game and have her running to me in the door way screaming 'Daddy's home! Daddy's home!' but that won't happen. Not now at least.
There was a faint knock at the door. "Troy?" Brie's voice was soft and full of concern.
I didn't want to make a scene so I opened the door and looked into her eyes. Belle must be off playing somewhere because Brie was alone. I put my head down.
She walked up to me and wrapped her arms around my body in a hug, resting her head on my chest. I took a deep breath. Her hair smelled like Coconut Vanilla again. I'm beginning to love this smell; it's comforting.
"I'm sorry Troy. I should tell her now, she needs to know." She started to pull away, but a sudden fear came over me.
What if she doesn't like me when she finds out I'm daddy? What if she'd rather have me as her best friend than her daddy? I grabbed Brie's arm and pulled her back into my chest. "No, no, it's o.k. We can wait a little longer."
She gave me a questioning look. "Troy…"
"No, please, just… it's o.k. We should give her more time, I mean, I did just meet her 2 days ago!" I gave a reassuring smile and she returned with a fake one.
"O.k. but tell me when your ready cuz she really does need to know."
I hugged her tight and placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Ewww, big blue kiss mommy again." Belle giggled from around the corner.
Brie and I chuckled before pulling away and I picked Belle up, setting her on my hip. "That's not eww. This is eww." I licked the side of her face and she erupted into giggles.
"Eww gross big blue!" She whipped her face and giggled some more. "Mommy, big blue licked my face!" She giggled again.
I smiled at Brie as she laughed as well. "You deserved it!"
Belle started to pout, but since Brie and I were laughing, she soon gave up and laughed again.
When we caught our breath from laughing so hard, we made our way back to the living room and sat on the couch. "Soo, what's the plans for summer?" I asked.
"For summer?" Brie asked confused.
"Ya, is Belle, I mean, little blue, in any summer activities, you know like a parks and Rec. thing?" I remembered being apart of a summer basketball club from age 4 – 12. It was the best way to spend your summer.
"Well actually, no, but that's because we are going to visit grandma next week!" Brie sated, looking over at Belle who was still in my lap, playing with the remote.
"GAMA!!" She cheered clapping her hands.
"You are?" I asked, not even thinking about Brie's and mine's parents. My mom would be thrilled to know I was a dad, I think. "She knows?" I asked, obviously talking about her mother.
"Well, um, sort of. She knows about Belle." Brie started to fidget.
"Does she know I'm her father?" I asked, getting worried about what was going on.
"Yes…but…there's a slight issue." She looked away. This didn't sound good.
"What?"
"Well, um, I had told her that you…um…"
"What?!" I started to panic.
"That you ran when I told you I was pregnant." She looked away, ashamed of herself.
I stared at her in complete shock. She made me look like a bad guy. She made me look like one of those guys that goes out, bangs the girl, gets her pregnant and runs like hell! I didn't do that!
She saw the mixed emotions that were ready to explode from me and sat up straight, placing a hand on my cheek. "Troy, it's o.k., everything will be worked out, and everything will be fine." Her voice was rushed as she tried to calm me down. I was mad, I was disappointed, and mostly, I was terrified!
"Your mother hates me." I whispered, than rolled my head over my shoulders. "OH My GOD! Your mom hates me!" I exclaimed, standing up quickly and pacing around the room. "She's going to kill me." I turned to her. "Do you realize what this means?! She's going to castrate me!" I kept pacing angrily around the room. I was never going to be allowed to visit the grandmother of my child. The women I had grown to love like a second mother. Oh NO! They are leaving next week! I can't let them leave me! What if Brie runs again?!
My anger instantly subsided as I felt a small hand rest on my cheek.
"Troy, I'm sorry, but please put Belle down." Brie pleaded as I looked over and saw Belle still in my arms. She had a look of confusion in her pure blue eyes.
"Why big blue mad?" She said innocently, melting my heart. She had a great power in her, and that was the fact that she could change my mood at the snap of a finger.
I took a deep breath and sighed as I looked from Brie to Belle. I sighed again, letting all my frustrations out and hugged Belle close to me. "I'm not mad. Not anymore at least." I saw Brie relax as she made her way over to stand next to me, placing an arm around my waist. "I'm sorry." I whispered.
"Hey, no, don't be. You did nothing wrong. I should have told my mom the truth, but I didn't want to be told that I was wrong so I lied. I apologize and I'm sure my mom will forgive you, and me, once she finds out the truth next week."
"Next week?" I almost yelled. "What about right now?!"
"I can't, not over the phone. It'll be easier for her to understand if she sees you with her. I promise, we can work this out!"
I gave a small smile and sighed again. "I hope so. I sure hope so."
June 14th 8:12 A.M. Montez Apartment
I breathed in his scent, taking in every bit of him. Sharpay had gladly taken Belle for us and was watching her back at her apartment. Belle has taken a liking to Sharpay and Sharpay seems to have taken a liking for Belle. It works for me cuz now we have a baby sitter for when we want to have our time. Tomorrow we make the trek back to Albuquerque to meet Troy's short doom. My mother will want to rip him apart when she sees him, but hopefully, with Belle in his arms, she will give me a chance to explain everything to her. If I can get her to watch Troy play with Belle, she will see that he loves her more than anything in the world. In the course of 12 hours, Troy seemed to have become a great dad. I thank god for giving Belle a proper family, just like she always needed.
My body was pressed up against his as we laid naked in my bed. Hid hand was resting on my back as he snored away. Even as the most annoying noise come from his mouth, he was still so cute. He looked so peaceful, I sighed and tried to fall back asleep. I loved being in his arms. I haven't felt this safe in years and I've forgotten just how wonderful it feels to be in his arms. Since high school I have loved his embrace, it's just so calming.
The past week has been hectic, trying to figure out where we're going to live and how his basketball career will work with his relationship with Belle. We both want him to be in her life, but he will be away a lot, so I only hope we can get through the tough times. Last night, Troy had made a nice peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich dinner, equipped with milk and cookies. It wasn't a gourmet meal, but it was a Troy Bolton meal, just like he used to make me in college. I love him so much.
I felt his grasp tighten around me and I smiled. "Morning beautiful." He whispered into my head before kissing it.
"Morning wildcat." I squeezed his side again.
"I love it when you call me wildcat." He smiled again.
I kissed his chest and propped my head up. "That's why I call you it." I giggled.
He chuckled and played with my hair. His face got a little serious as he looked me in the eyes again. "You have no idea how much I missed you. It's crazy to have you back, but I'll never let you go. You're mine to keep forever and ever."
I smiled and leaned up to kiss him. His lips here soft and passionate against mine. "And you're mine forever and ever." I breathed after pulling away. We smiled at each other before I laid my head back down on his chest and listened to his heart beat. We had about 20 minutes before Sharpay was coming back with Belle and I wanted this to last for as long as possible.
8:15 A.M. Evans Apartments
"Show me again!" Belle cheered as she watched Sharpay stretch in many different ways. She looked so funny the way she was standing.
She laughed. "You really like yoga don't you?!"
"OGA! OGA!" She cheered as Sharpay stood back up straight and started another stance.
"This is called warrior." She said as she let her right leg jut out in front of her and bent at the knee slightly. Her arms were raised above her head, palms facing.
Belle tried her best too copy Sharpie but with no luck. She would keep falling over and laughing. Yoga was funny. When she fell over for the 4th time, she busted out laughing. "Oga fun Sharpie!!" She cheered.
Sharpay laughed as Belle came running over and pushed her to the ground. "Oh no! You got me." Immediately, Sharpay closed her eyes and pretended to be dead.
"Sharpie?" Belle asked, a little scared. She walked over to Sharpie. "Sharpie did you fall asleep?" Suddenly Sharpay jumped out of her sleep and wrapped her arms around Belle, tossing her in the air and catching her. Belle screamed for joy. "I knew yous was asleep. Silly Sharpie!" She giggled.
They sat there laughing for a minute before Sharpay glanced at the wall clock and noticed it was 8:28. She was supposed to have Belle back by 8:30. "Oh well." She thought. "They will want a little more privacy anyways."
Sharpay sat up, taking Belle with her. "Ready to see mommy and daddy?" She asked, smiling big.
"Me see mommy and big blue, no daddy." She stated giving a questioning look to Sharpie. People kept calling big blue her daddy, but why? Big blue wasn't her daddy, he was better than a daddy she thought, he was her bestest friend. You can't be bestest friends with your daddy!
Sharpay inwardly smacked herself and faked a smile. "BIG BLUE!!" She cheered. She was happy when Belle forgot about the mention of her father and giggled with Sharpays excitement.
Sharpay grabbed the rest of Belle's things and put them back in her overnight bag. She hadn't minded sleeping over with Sharpay, since her mom worked late night shifts. Belle complained when she had to leave with Sharpay after dinner, but when Sharpay mentioned games, all complaints were forgotten. When she finished loading up the rest of her stuff, Sharpay and Belle went out the door and made their way back to home. Hopefully, Troy and Gabriella were pre paired for our grand entry.
SOOOOO, what you think??!!??!! This chapter is more of a filler about what had happened with Gabriella and her own family. In the next Chapter, they will go and see Brie's family and some stuff will happen, than they will surprise Troy's family and some more stuff will happen!! I have a feeling you all will LOVE the next chapter so ya. Tell me what you think of this one and where you think Troy and Gabriella's issues will take them. I love it when you guys give your own ideas about the stories so ya. Thanks a lot!! SuzzieD!! ; - )
