Chapter 10
"You sure you're gonna be okay going by yourself?" Troy asked as he walked Gabriella to the door.
"I'm sure. All I'm doing to going pick up Michelle. Besides, my dad's in South Dakota for the holidays, so I'm safe." She turned to him and placed a chaste kiss on his lips. "I'll be back in a few."
"Kay. Be careful."
She smiled before walking out of the house. Minutes later, she found herself sitting in front of her old house, staring at it. She knew her father wasn't home, but she couldn't bring herself to walk up to the front door and knock. Sighing, she climbed out of the car and walked up the pathway. Raising her fist, she knocked gently on the door and waited. Michelle opened the door moments later and hugged her sister tightly.
"I knew you'd keep your word."
Gabriella laughed lightly. "Of course I would, Chelle. Besides, spending Christmas alone is no fun." She pulled back and put her hand on the side of her sister's face. "Are you packed and ready?" Michelle nodded. "Okay, then, let's go."
Michelle grabbed her things and walked to the car as Gabriella closed the door behind her.
"This is gonna be so much fun," Michelle said as she put her bags in the trunk. "We haven't spent Christmas together since…well since before mom died."
Gabriella smiled sadly and nodded. After their mother died and their father shunned her, Gabriella had been forced to spend Christmas alone while her sister went with him to visit family. It was just another chapter in the life she lived before meeting Troy. Thinking about him put a true smile on her face.
It only took a few minutes for them to reach the Nielsen household and get her settled into another guest room. By that time, Michelle was more excited than Gabriella had ever seen her. It sent a warm feeling through her heart to see her sister happy. She always wanted her to be happy, even when they were fighting over Troy, but Gabriella needed him more than Michelle ever did.
"Looks like she's gotten into the Christmas spirit," Troy said as he came up behind Gabriella, who was watching Michelle play with Rosalina.
She nodded in agreement. "Looks like she has." He wrapped his arms around her and she leaned into him, resting the back of her head on his shoulder. He tightened his grip before placing a soft kiss on her temple.
Gabriella continued to stare at her sister as she played with the tiny baby, a smile on her face. Suddenly, she couldn't look anymore and she pulled herself from Troy's grasp, walking away from the scene.
"Brie?" He followed behind her and grabbed her arm. "Brie, what's wrong?"
"You know what's wrong," she said lowly.
He sighed and brought his hand to her cheek. "You can't keep letting this get to you. Yes, Rose is your sister, but she's also your daughter. She's your baby girl. If you keep thinking about who fathered her, then you're going to tear yourself apart."
"I can't help it. I just…I still wish she was yours."
"And so do I. But you know what? The next one will be."
She smiled softly. "Next one? You want to have another?"
"Of course I do." He cupped the bottom of her head where her neck started. "I want to have as many kids as possible with you."
"You do know my limit is four?"
He chuckled. "Now I do." She grinned and bit her lip. "Look, I love Rose as if she were my own and I will continue to, but I need you to do the same. Can you do that for me?" She nodded. "Good." He pulled her close and kissed her gently. "I love you."
She gave him a small smile and reached up to grasp his wrist. "I love you, too." He pecked her lips once more before the sound of Rosalina's shrill cries broke them up. "I think she's hungry."
He nodded and she went to go get the small child.

"How does it feel?" Michelle asked as she watched her sister breastfeed Rosalina.
"How does what feel?"
"Having a child."
Gabriella smiled softly and looked down at her precious daughter. "Well, labor hurts like a bitch, but after the doctors put your baby in your arms, it's the most amazing feeling in the world."
Michelle smiled and took Rosalina's small hand in hers. "It's hard to believe we were once this small."
"Yeah, it is," she said with a giggle.
"Gabi?"
"Hm."
Michelle leaned back in her seat and tucked her legs under her. "Can I ask you a question?"
"You just did."
"I'm serious."
"Sorry. Go ahead."
"Remember last year when I…" she cleared her throat, "when Samantha tricked Troy into sleeping with me?"
Gabriella's brown eyes darkened. "I wish I didn't, but yeah. What about it?"
"W-Would it have been better if I had just waited until I was with someone who actually cared about me."
She looked over at her sister who had her head down. "What do you mean?"
"Well…that was my first time and it wasn't very…enjoyable."
Her eyes softened, feeling sorry for Michelle. Gabriella knew how it felt to lose her virginity in a situation where the guy doesn't make the experience a memorable one. Her father had been rough with her when he took hers, not caring that it hurt. Michelle had experienced it the same way, except Troy had been drunk and didn't think. If he had been sober…well he wouldn't have had sex with Michelle in the first place, but if it had been Gabriella then he would have been gentle, like he was when they had their first time together.
"It probably would have been. He probably would have been gentle with you; gone slow. He probably would have held you like you were fragile; like you would break any second. And then when it was over, he would have looked at you like you were the only girl in the world."
Michelle stared at her sister in awe. She knew that her father had forcefully taken Gabriella's virginity and hadn't been gentle at all. Michelle would know, she was right next door when it happened and heard her sister painful screams echo through the house.
"Gabi…I know that dad wasn't gentle so how…"
"Troy," she answered before Michelle could finish asking her question. "Even though I wasn't a virgin, he acted as if I were; asking me if I was ready, treating me like a porcelain doll, going slow and being gentle."
"He's amazing. I hope you know that."
She looked at Michelle, a soft smile on her face. "I do and I thank God for him every day."
"I hope I find a guy just like him."
"I hope so, too. You need someone who will treat you right."
As the two continued their conversation, neither saw the blue eyed man standing in the doorway, a soft smile on his face. He watched them for a few more minutes before leaving the two sisters alone.

"So are you gonna give us the details or what?" Jason asked as the four friends sat in Kelsi's backyard, plastic cups with soda mixed in with a little vodka in their hands.
"Well…" Troy started before taking a sip of his drink. "After I came home from playing two on two with you guys, I noticed that there was no one around so I went to look for them. I searched the entire house before making my way to our room, and when I asked myself where everyone was, she appears from behind the door with a bathrobe on saying that we were alone."
"And…" The three guys sat on the edge of their seats waiting for the story to continue, wanting to know what happened next.
"And she dropped her robe and I nearly came in my shorts once I saw that she was naked underneath."
"And..."
"And? There's no way I'm telling you how I fucked my fiancée."
"Oh come on."
Troy sighed and shook his head. "Let's just say that if doors could talk, the one in our room would be in pain right now."
"Holy shit!" Chad cursed. "You screwed her against a door."
"Shut up! I shouldn't have even told you that much. Gabriella doesn't need to know that I talk about our sex life."
"Oh, she doesn't, does she?"
Shit. He turned his head and found her standing behind him with her hands on her hips. "Hey, Brie," he said with a smile.
"Haga no usted osa fingir como usted es inocente. Dios, usted es un asno tan desconsderado. Yo joder le odia!"(Don't you dare pretend like you're innocent. God, you're such an inconsiderate ass. I fucking hate you!) she screamed before storming off.
"Babe! Baby, wait." He followed behind her and chased her until they reached the front door. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "I'm sorry. Okay?"
"No, Troy, not okay. How is talking about what we do in the bedroom okay for you to talk about with your friends? That's private."
"I know. I'm stupid. Alright?"
"Yes. Yes, you are."
"But I'm sorry. I promise I'll never talk about our sex life ever again."
"You better not or you can kiss it goodbye."
"You wouldn't do that, would you?"
"I would. Oh, I so would."
He quirked an eyebrow and grinned. "There's no way you could do that."
"Oh? And why not?"
He leaned in close to her ear. "Because you know I'm irresistible. All I have to do is touch you the right way," he put his hand on the curve of her lower back, "or kiss you the right way," he placed his lips just below her ear and listened to her breath hitch, "and I can have you writhing underneath me in seconds." He pulled her closer and began suckling on the skin of her neck. "And I know you don't hate me."
"You…you understood that?"
He shook his head and moved to look her in the eyes. "Just the last part." Tilting his head, he captured her lips and placed his hand on the underside of her ass, squeezing it.
She squealed and laughed. He joined in, chuckling against her lips. The two continued to make out until someone cleared their throat.
"Um, excuse me, but can you cut all the PDA." Gabriella turned her head, blushing in embarrassment.
"Sorry, Chelle."
"It's okay, but just be lucky Rose is only a baby. I don't think she'd want to see this."
"We try not to do stuff like this in front of her, even though she is a baby," Troy said.
"Good. Prepare for the future," Kelsi said coming out of the kitchen. "So, who's up for pizza?"
