As February rolled in, the two were now at 21 weeks, she was at a total gain of 10 pounds and looking more and more pregnant everyday. Her little boy kicks her at all ends and she never gets sick of it. She already trade marked the waddle everytime she walks into a room or anything. For her, work is also very hectic and annoying for her. Sometimes its hard for her to even sit at a desk and work. Plus she gets too distracted easily over the baby's birth.
And finally the 22nd week approached during Valentines and also their eight month anniversary. She was also a couple weeks from the end of the second trimester and the beginning of the third, she was getting excited over the fact of her pregnancy coming to an end and the baby to already be here. Still gaining the size in her stomach, the stretch marks were beginning to taunt her.
Stepping out of the shower, she saw the most terrifying thing to her. She screamed as she wrapped a towel around her. She heard the footsteps pounding as he ran over to the door banging on it.
"Whats wrong!" He screamed on the otherside. She quickly waddled over and opened the door. He was afraid.
"I have stretch marks." She whimpered and he groaned kissing her nose.
"I thought you were having contractions." He said with a sigh. She shook her head.
"Sorry." She giggled. He sighed walking away.
The 23rd week greeted her with uncomfort. As her and the baby got bigger, she was having more trouble breathing in general and as she slept. She found out that as the baby grew bigger, the baby cramped your organs. She wasn't happy with it but was adjusting. She was also almost done with the shopping for the little guy prompting the baby shower around the corner.
The two were at a store before they headed off to a party for Troys main resturant that finally opened up. She picked up a bounce chair that she could picture her baby in all the time. She was just about to turn and ask him something when she noticed that he was completely distracted. She looked up to him, seeing his eyes that were so warm with love before, now completely ice cold. She looked around and was beginning to freak out.
"Baby." She said placing her hand on his clenched jaw that upon contact with her, relaxed into her palm. He looked down at her admiring the way she looked for the new opening tonight, and seeing her with her long straight hair and in the same navy dress she wore for thanksgiving on, he adored the way she looked even with a jacket covering it now.
But looking up at the female that was now staring back at him, he felt pain hit him looking down at his beautiful finace'. Gabby looked over at the female aswell as she walked up to the two. Gabby put the bounce chair down once the female stopped infront of them. Gabby was stunned by her beauty. She had deep green eyes and bright blonde hair. Quickly Troy grabbed her hand to hold his.
"Hey Troy." She smirked playfully. She looked at Gabby and examined her finally recognizing her pregnant stomach. "Wow." She snarled. "How far along are you?" She asked Gabby. Afraid of her, Gabby responded quickly.
"6 months and a quarter." Troy fired in rage as the blonde laughed a cruel laugh.
"Wow Troy, not even a month after we break up and you knock someone up." She looked at Gabby and giggled harshly. "We we're engaged." She smirked. "Me and him fucked day and night. Had him crawling back for more." She purred. Gabby's feelings were stabbed at and she felt like breaking down. No one has ever been this mean to her.
"Why don't you fucking step off." He growled at her. She was taken back, both of them. "You have no right to even step in and say shit like that!" Gabby stood there silently letting his hand go. He looked over to her worried figuring she'd leave him right then and there. The blonde snarled again knowing that she ruined something. Gabby, to Troy, looked hurt. But just then a cute little smile curled up on her face.
"Well, looks like I won." She said politely as she could fixing her hair making it obvious that she was flashing her ring. Troy smiled at her action. The blonde was stunned by her words. "So, uh, move along now since we won't be needing you here anymore." She smiled and the blonde was confused.
"But-" Gabby stopped her.
"Are you still talking? Gabby asked her. The blonde grunted and she stormed off. Troy quickly grabbed Gabby into a hold and kissed her as soon as possible. The kiss grew and when she pulled away, he found his way back to his lips. As they left the store, hand in hand, they sat in the car.
"Whats her name?" She asked him as she stared straight across the dashboard. He sighed placing the keys in his lap.
"Aubrey." He said looking over to her as she looked over to him. "She was my fiance' and yes, I did have sex with her, but not night and day." She looked over to him.
"Thats what we did Troy." She said looking hurt. "Honestly, we had more sex then a pornstar." She joked still feeling kind of hurt. He slightly chuckled and looked at her seriously.
"Yeah, but for us...It didn't feel meaningless. Ever since the first time, I swore I'd never let you go." He emphasized. "I let her go and it was such a huge mistake when I thought about it...But now, I have you in my life. Nothing like her would ever replace you." She smiled and grabbed his hand resting on the clutch.
"I love you. I really do." She said honestly.
The 24th week rolled in and she was getting nearer. The baby's room was finished, and all they had to do was prepare for everything. Being seven months, she really didn't have much concern, but work was putting a toll on her. She filed in her application for maternity leave two weeks before her due date. Her baby was averaging around 650 grams.
At the moment, she was with Troy at home as she was waiting up until midnight to wish him the first happy birthday. She was lying on the couch while Troy was on his phone with Chad. She looked at her phone quickly and checked it was 11:58. She sat up and was more comfortable with the fact that she was going to pounce on him.
She looked at her clock again and it then struck 12 so she stood up and jumped into his lap, grabbing his phone and clicking it off.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She shouted excited, straddling him to make her seating more comfortable. He smirked kissing her.
"Thank you babe." He said to her. She giggled and fixed her shirt.
"I would give you birthday sex, but I'm too pregnant for it..." She frowned but he kissed her.
"I don't need birthday sex just to show how much you love me." He told her as she smiled and kissed him. "But I do expect it next year." He wiggled his eyebrows and she laughed as they sat there. "No one has ever wished me a happy birthday at midnight before. In person." He smiled.
"What can I say, I'm just an amazing girlfriend!" She joked and got up walking over to the fridge pulling out his birthday cake. Troy looked over to her and smiled as she lit his candle on the cake.
Somehow, seeing her light the candles made him think back to when they met. He could picture her hair perfectly.
He was finishing cleaning out his last shot glass as he saw a beautiful flustered brunette storm up to his bar. Her long hair was curly and thick complementing the strong work look to her. She was rather tall and slender, being perfectly in between. Looking like she just came from work, he knew this would be a long night of ranting issues. She sat down and looked right into his eyes. Her brown ones stared right into him as a smile crept on his face.
As she was singing, he gasped and left the room as she was confused. He ran to his closet rummaging through his things seeing the box he was looking for. She followed him confused and stared at him as he unwrapped a shot glass.
"What is wrong with you?" She questioned him harshly.
"Can I get tequila shot straight up?" She said looking and sounding desperate. She tried to hide it, but she failed miserably.
"Rough day at work?" He asked grabbing the bottle of liquor and the last shot glass that he cleaned. It was his favorite one. After a drunk person broke a couple, he bought this one and it brought him great luck. From heavy tips to meeting famous people, it was his lucky charm.
"You're my lucky charm..." He said to her with a smirk. She still looked confused.
"That night you came to the bar...I was about to give up on everything. I was going to quit, go back home and never come back here. When you walked in and began to talk to me, I didn't even realize that this shot glass was my lucky charm." She looked at him and grabbed his hands. "This brought me so much luck. And now, because of it, I have you." He said pulling her closer to him. She smiled and he kissed her.
"I'm glad my alchyness brought us together." She joked kissing him again bringing him into a hug. He loved feeling the stomach press into his stomach.
"I'm glad Sharpay brought us together." He said and silence filled the air and Gabby threw her head back laughing. "That sounded way out of context." He laughed too.
While Troy was busy at the resturant, Gabby was at home getting ready to go and visit him when her phone rang. She was in the bathroom curling her hair and adjusting her makeup. The phone continued to ring. She was then alarmed when she heard banging on her door. Freaking out, she put the curling iron down, and walked over to the door checking the peephole seeing a mirror reflection of herself. She opened the door.
"Sorry to bother you, but you weren't picking up your phone!" Charlie shouted at her walking in and sitting on the couch. "By the way, I love the new place!" She smiled.
"Hi, Walk on in." Gabby said sarcastically walking over to get a bottle of water. "What brings you here?" She wondered taking a sip of her water.
"Oh, mom and dad are getting divorced." She said casually reaching over for the remote to turn the tv on. Gabby raised her eyebrow.
"What?" She interogated. Charlie looked at her, her eyes piercing.
"Yeah, they're finally calling it quits." She said standing up and Gabby sighed burying her face in her hands when her phone went off.
"Answer it for me or else I'll go into premature labor." She said annoyed. Charlie nodded and answered the phone as Gabby walked into the bathroom to fix up the remaining curls, then turning it off. Once she returned, Charlie got off the phone and looked at Gabby.
"Uhh, you might go into premature labor for this one." She said and Gabby's eyes popped out of her head.
"WHAT NOW!" She shouted.
"Someone broke into your old apartment." Gabby looked at her confused forgetting she had that.
"Oh thats nice..." She said annoyed grabbing her phone off the table. She dialed Troy. "Hand me my boots so we can go to the house." She said to Charlie.
"Hello?" She heard the tense sound in his voice as he answered making her not happy to tell him.
"Hey babe." She said calm.
"Hey beautiful. How are you?" His voice went easy and she sighed relieved. "Are you okay?" He pressed on.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just...someone broke into my old apartment and well I have to check it out. So I won't be at your resturant soon."
"No, I'm going with."
"Charlie's here...She's going to go with me." She said slipping her boots on.
"Alright...Just make sure you're careful." He said worried. She giggled.
"Everything's alright. Don't worry at all." She smiled grabbing her jacket. "Bye."
"Bye." He said.
"You know what..." Gabby started off as they both left the apartment. "You should have my old apartment. Therefore, you'd be closer with us and you'd officially be a New Yorker with no shame." She said stepping out into the cold.
"Sounds great to me." She smiled as they both put their sunglasses on and walked out into the sidewalk joining the massive amounts of walkers.
