Waited
Chapter Ten
"Well I better go to the hotel now. I love you Belle." Her mom said, kissing her cheek before walking out the door.
"Bye ma!" she called out to her before she watched her mom drive off.
She waited around for roughly fifteen more minutes for Troy to come home. She ended up closing her eyes and humming a random song before she heard the front door open and Troy walk in.
She ran over to him and gave him the most passionate kiss she could.
"Thank –kiss- you!" she said. He was basically holding her up, and was very surprised at her sudden outburst.
"Well that was one hell of a hello." He said.
She giggled before she hugged him tightly, not caring that he was still a little sweaty.
"He wouldn't let me see her Troy. He forbid me…and you brought her back into my life." She whispered, burying her head in the crook of his neck.
"Don't think anything of it, babe." He whispered in her ear.

Gabriella and Troy were in bed that night, Troy was reading over some papers from work and Gabriella's head was on his chest, lightly snoozing, but not quite tired enough to go to sleep.
"I never though that I'd be pregnant." She said out of the blue.
"Why's that?" he asked her.
"It's just…I would always take the day after pill with him. Because I didn't want any child of mine to either be one of his or have to go through anything horrible like that." She explained sighing sadly.
He held her closer…
"Our child won't have to go through anything remotely like that." He said quietly.
"I know, I trust you." She said looking up at him.
They shared a kiss before Gabriella looked back down, but not before noticing his scar on his arm.
She gently traced it with her fingers.
"Does it ever hurt?" she asked quietly.
"Sometimes, if I stress it too much. But it's nothing to worry about." He said.
"I can't believe he did that to you." She whispered, setting her head back on his chest.
"But you know…if it weren't for him…I wouldn't have seen you when I did." He said.
"That's true." She said.
Troy turned the light out and kissed the top of her head.
"Love you." He whispered.
"I love you too, Troy." She whispered before snuggling into his chest more.
That night…he vowed to himself to never let her or his child come to any harm.
-
"Troy…I think we should tell them." She whispered to him when they and the gang were all over at Chad's apartment.
"Are you sure?" he whispered back.
"Positive." She answered. He nodded and squeezed her hand.
"Hey guys?" She asked them. They all stopped their conversations and looked towards the couple.
"Yeah Gab?" Kelsi asked.
"I…we have an announcement to make." She began.
"OH MY G-D YOU'RE ENGAGED!" Taylor said overreacting.
Everyone started talking all at once.
"No…guys..!" Gabriella tried.
"Guys!" she said loudly.
"GUYS!" she yelled. They all quieted down.
"We're NOT engaged." She said.
They all sat down.
"Then what is it?" Taylor asked impatiently.
"I'm pregnant." She said.
Kelsi and Taylor squealed and started jumping up and down with each other.
The guys had all gotten up to hug Gabriella and Troy adding 'congratulations' and what not.
Taylor and Kelsi and practically tackled Gabriella to the ground.
She landed on the couch with an 'oof' before the guys pried Kelsi and Taylor off of her.
"You okay?" Troy asked her as he helped her up.
"I'm fine." She said as she re-adjusted her shirt and her hair.
"So who else knows?" Kelsi asked after the girls had calmed down. Kelsi was curled up next to Jason, Taylor was leaning against Chad, and Gabriella was right next to Troy, basking in his warmth.
"Only you guys." She answered.
"So we're all going to be aunts and uncles!" Kelsi exclaimed.
"Well um…two of you will be more than that." Gabriella said.
She looked at Troy who nodded….he got the message.
"Chad….Taylor, we want you do be the god parents." He said.
Taylor's mouth dropped down in amazement, same with Chad.
"R-really?" Taylor asked. Troy and Gabriella nodded.
"I'm gonna be a god parent!" she exclaimed, beside herself with happiness.
Chad smiled down at her, missing her in his life.
Taylor blushed as she realized that Chad was looking down at her.
Meanwhile, Troy and Gabriella had noticed the little exchange between the two and smiled at each other.
-
Troy had taken Gabriella out for a drive to a secluded place he knew she would love…
"Should I even bother to ask where we're going?" she asked him.
"Nope." He answered, grinning over at her.
She sighed and looked out the window. She closed her eyes and she slowly began to nap. Today had taken a lot out of her, they spent a lot of time at Chad's and after being tackled and hugged to death, it too ka lot out of her.
"Brie…we're here." He whispered. She woke up and saw Troy get out of the driver's seat and open her door. She thankfully took his hand as she gasped in amazement.
The sight before her was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. It was at the perfect spot where you could see the whole cite…it was absolutely breathtaking.
"Troy! It'sgorgeous!" she exclaimed.
He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"You know when Taylor freaked and thought that we were engaged?" he whispered, his breath tickling her ear.
She nodded, leaning against him.
"And you corrected her and said that we weren't?" he added. She nodded slowly.
"Well, I'd like to change that." He whispered.
She turned around and met his eyes as he got down on one knee. (A/n: AH! I'm the on writing it and I'm like…happy jumping in my chair!!!)
"Gabriella…would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" he asked her.
She was speechless. She opened her mouth but all the came out was…well, nothing.
She was crying like never before right now. "Yes!" she said.
He slipped the ring on her finger (In profile) before hugging her, spinning her around several times before setting her down and kissing his fiancé.
