An hour later, Troy unlocked the door and walked into the house. Lucille was waiting in the living room for her son to come home. Troy looked around the house and didn't know where his mother had gone.
"Mom, where are you?" Troy asked.
"In here, Troy" Lucille said from the living room.
Troy walked into the living room and saw his mother reading a magazine. He sat down next to her.
"So what happened?" Troy asked.
"She opened up to me Troy. Gabriella released a lot of information that was bothering her about the baby" Lucille told her son.
"Like what?" Troy asked.
"The fact that she feels like she has a deep connection to the baby already and doesn't want something to happen to it" Lucille said.
"I could understand that. What else did she say?" Troy asked his mother.
"She said that she wants to give birth naturally and have you by her side, encouraging her. I told her that it could be a possibility but we will have to wait and see. Gabi also said that you were doing too much for her" Lucille said.
"I would have never expected her to want to have the baby naturally but okay. I already knew I was doing too much for her. She's my baby. I love her to death" Troy said.
"You need to let her do some things Troy. Gabriella is only four and a half months pregnant" Lucille said.
"I know but I don't want her to overdo it" Troy said.
"Then you both need to have a conversation and talk about everything" Lucille said.
"Okay, I will talk to her after Ryan comes over tonight" Troy said.
"That sounds good. I have to go home and do some paperwork" Lucille said.
"Okay" Troy said getting off the couch.
Troy walked his mother to the front door.
"Be good" Lucille said.
"I will" Troy said.
Lucille hugged and kissed her son. She then walked to her car, got in, and drove away. Troy closed the door and sighed. He walked upstairs and went into Gabriella's room. Troy saw Gabriella sleeping and smiled. He walked over to the bed and kissed her head. Gabriella started to stir and opened her eyes and looked at Troy.
"Brie, go back to sleep" Troy said softly.
"Mm. When did you come home?" Gabriella asked.
"I just got here. My mother just left. How are you feeling?" Troy asked moving the hair that was covering Gabriella's eyes.
"I'm okay. Talking to you mom really helped" Gabriella said.
"Good. After Ryan comes over, we need to have a little talk" Troy said.
"I know" Gabriella said.
The doorbell rang and Gabriella got out of bed while Troy went downstairs to get the door. Troy opened the front door and smiled.
"Hey man" Troy said shaking Ryan's hand.
"Hi Troy" Ryan said.
"Come in, Gabriella is coming downstairs" Troy said.
Ryan and Troy went into the living room and sat down. Gabriella came into the living room.
"Gab, you are getting so big" Ryan said.
"I know, I can't believe it" Gabriella said as she sat next to Troy.
"How are you feeling?" Ryan asked.
"Right now I am okay. Yesterday and the day before I was a wreck" Gabriella said.
"I'm so sorry about what happened. I feel terrible" Ryan said.
"My doctor said there was a possibility that the baby could turn around but we don't know if it will actually happen" Gabriella said putting her hand on her bump.
"Is there anything I can do?" Ryan asked.
"Both of us need to calm down. We need to work out the custody schedule and be done with it" Gabriella said.
"I am on it. Should I send the papers over or bring them here?" Ryan asked.
"Just bring them here and I will sign off on it" Gabriella said.
"Okay, that sounds good. Other than the fact that the baby is breech, is there anything else I should know about?" Ryan asked.
"The baby is healthy and is growing" Gabriella said.
Ryan smiled.
"That's great Gab. Oh but I do have a question. When you go into labor, do you want me to stay home until the baby is born or do you want me to come a couple days after? What is the plan?" Ryan asked.
"I would rather you come a couple days after. Just so I can have time with the baby and my family can have time. Plus I am going to be exhausted" Gabriella said.
"Okay. Who is going to be in the delivery room with you?" Ryan asked.
"Just Troy. My mother is scared of blood so that crosses her off the list" Gabriella said.
"Okay, well I will let you guys go. Thanks Gab for giving me this information and I will get the papers to you as soon as I can" Ryan said.
"Okay" Gabriella said as she walked Ryan to the door.
Ryan opened the door and left. Gabriella closed the door and looked at Troy.
"That went surprisingly well" Troy said.
"Yeah. I think he got scared that I was going to lose the baby" Gabriella said wrapping her arms around Troy's neck.
"Maybe, we need to have one of our famous talks though" Troy said kissing Gabriella's lips.
"Okay" Gabriella said.
Troy and Gabriella walked to the living room and sat on the couch. Troy took Gabriella's foot and put it on his lap and started massaging it.
"So what's up?" Gabriella asked.
"My mom told me some things that you said while she was talking to you earlier" Troy said as he rubbed Gabriella's foot.
"Like what?" Gabriella asked.
"She said that you were scared of losing the baby because you felt a strong connection to it already" Troy said looking at Gabriella.
"Yeah I do. If I lost the baby or something happened to it I would be devastated. I have already carried the baby for four and a half months and feel close to it" Gabriella said.
"As I told you before, whatever happens we will get through it" Troy said.
Gabriella looked at Troy. Troy released her foot and Gabriella cuddled into Troy's embrace.
"Also that you wanted to give birth naturally, which I didn't even know was a possibility. I thought you would be all for the epidural" Troy said.
"I don't want my baby to come drugged out. Yes it will be painful, but it's worth having a baby that isn't under medication" Gabriella explained.
"Okay, it's up to you. We will have to wait and see if the baby will turn around. The last thing she said was that you felt that I was doing too much for you" Troy said looking at Gabriella.
"You do" Gabriella said.
"Brie, I do it because I don't want to stress you out. I also do it because I love you and want to help you. I'm your boyfriend, it's my job" Troy explained.
"I love you" Gabriella said looking at Troy.
"I love you too" Troy said kissing Gabriella's head.
"I just felt like you were doing all this stuff for me and I wasn't doing anything for you because of this situation" Gabriella said.
"The baby is not in the correct position and you are worried that you were not doing anything for me? Babe, that's not right" Troy said smiling.
"I felt bad" Gabriella said.
"Okay. Is everything that you were upset about off your chest now?" Troy asked.
"Yes" Gabriella said.
"Good. I am going to make dinner. Would you like to help me?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, just help me up. The bump is growing" Gabriella said.
Troy took Gabriella's hands in his and helped her get off the couch. The couple then walked to the kitchen and made dinner. Troy and Gabriella ate dinner together and talked about what the future would be like once the baby was born.
