The door opened widely and Troy's voice echoed throughout the house, "Anyone home?"

"Coming Daddy!" Maddie yelled as she descended from the stairs slowly.

"I missed you so much Maddie," Troy hugged her as soon as she reached him.

"I have something that I have to tell you," Maddie started.

"What is it Mads?" Troy asked and Gabriella stepped through the door with a few bags. She smiled sympathetically at her daughter and brought the bags up the steps to her room.

"I'm here babe," Brady appeared behind her out of no where.

"Are you ok Maddie?" her father started to worry about her.

"Yea dad, I just, come and sit down," Maddie led him into the living room and sat across from him on a chair, "I don't want you to be upset with me."

"Tell me Mads," Troy encouraged her as he stepped in front of her and put his hands on her arms.

"Dad, I'm pregnant," Troy's hands jerked back and he stared wide-eyed at her for a few minutes before he backed up to sit back on the couch. No sound came from his mouth and nothing was said.

"I just found out I was a father and now," Troy spoke up, "I'm going to be a grandpa."

"I'm so sorry daddy," Maddie cried and Brady wrapped his arms around her to comfort her sobs.

"Baby girl, I love you, you know that right?" Troy asked, speaking again. Maddie could only nodded through her sobbing. "I will do anything to help you through this, ok?"

"Thank you dad," Maddie pulled out of Brady's grasp and wrapped her arms around her father, "for being here, for excepting me, and for not being mad."

Through this, Gabriella stood in the doorway and cried into a tissue. The scene in front of her was amazing and beautiful. She thought that if only she would have told Troy, it would have worked out a little better.

"Mrs. Montez, I'm sorry," Brady inched his way towards her.

"No Brady, I'm Gabriella now, and as long as you treat my daughter right," Gabriella paused, hugging him tightly, "I won't have to hurt you."

Brady pulled away fast and looked at her oddly, "Wha?"

"I'm just kidding," Gabriella laughed and pulled him back in for another hug.


Ok Well I certainly owe you guys an apology... I haven't updated in like 3 weeks, and this chapter is small, but I don't know what to write about...

You see, I am really good at starting stories off but when I have to find a climax, I don't know what to do...

Review... I need help!
