Gabriella woke up to the smell of coffee. She smiled and stretched and got up. She went to Ryan's room but he wasn't there so she assumed he was with Troy. She walked to the kitchen and saw the sight that made her smile. Troy was feeding Ryan his baby food. Ryan had gotten a lot bigger and he opened his eyes for the first time a couple days ago. His eyes, were the same color as Troy's. Cobalt blue. She made her appearance known when she went up behind Troy and kissed his cheek then went to Ryan and kissed his head.
"Good Morning baby!" Gabriella said. She took a coffee cup from the cupboard and poured herself and Troy coffee.
"Good Morning Mommy!" Troy smiled and got up and kissed her until Ryan started crying. Troy went over and picked him up and rocked him and back and forth, he eventually calmed down. Troy walked to the baby swing that was in the family room and strapped Ryan in and let it swing slowly.
Troy went back and saw Gabriella looking outside. He wrapped his arms around her.
"i love you babe" Troy said kissing her lips.
"I love you too" They both went to the family room to see Ryan's eyes looking at them. He was pointing at them and baby talking.
Troy went up and played along "Really? You don't say? Oh I will tell her". Troy got up and went over to Gabriella, who was laughing so hard, and said "Your son says he loves you" he looked at her with a serious face.
Gabriella looked at Ryan and said "Mommy loves you too baby".
The doorbell rang and Gabriella went to answer it. She opened the door and was surprised when she saw her mom standing there.
"Mom! What are you doing here? I thought you were not going to be in town until next month?" Gabriella was shocked as she hugged her mother.
Troy came in to see who was at the front door and was stunned "Maria! What a pleasant surprise!" He went up to her and hugged and kissed his mother-in-law.
"Well I decided that I hadn't seen my grandson yet or my daughter and son-in-law and since I knew you would have your hands full I wanted to surprise you, so here I am!" Maria said hugging her daughter again.
They walked into the family room where Ryan was swinging and Troy went up to him and carried him over to his grandma. "Maria, meet your grandson Ryan Thomas Bolton". Maria took Ryan carefully out of Troy's arms and held him and kissed his forehead.
"He's beautiful, I wish your father was here to see his grandson" Maria said tearfully and Gabriella immediately left the room because she couldn't get emotional when talking about him in front of her mother because she wanted to be strong for her so she went to the bathroom and cried.
"I didn't mean to upset her Troy" Maria said regretfully. Troy went up to her and hugged her carefully because Ryan was in her arms. Troy left to find Gabriella.
"Gabriella? Sweetheart come here". The bathroom door opened and she came out and hugged him.
"Im sorry I just wish sometimes that my dad was here, he would have been an amazing grandfather to Ryan" Troy rubbed her back.
"Hey don't say sorry I mean you wanted your father here, its okay baby" Troy kissed her and they walked hand-in-hand to the family room.
Maria had put Ryan in his movable crib. He was sound asleep.
"Gabriella, I didn't mean for you to get upset about daddy. I was just thinking out loud and shouldn't have said it. Im sorry.
Gabriella had accepted her apology and they started to make dinner. They made tamales. Sfter
