Chapter 11.
"Troy, come on," Gabriella tugged at the sleeve of my plaid shirt, pulling me along.
"We've been shopping for like 4 hours, babe," I groaned, taking her hand and moving my arm over shoulder to keep her next to me.
"But Chad's loving it," My girlfriend pouted and waved her hand in Chad's direction. "Right, Chad?"
"Oh yeah, absolutely love looking at baby stuff," Chad said, raising his arms slightly which were holding a load of bags.
I chuckled "That's the only reason we brought you here, dude," I pointed to the bags. It earned a glare from Chad and a giggle from Gabriella.
"So what else do we need to get?" I asked, sighing. I played with Gabriella's fingers and kissed her head as she looked up at me.
"Well what do we have?" She answered a question with a question, I rolled my eyes and looked at the bags, thinking about everything we have brought in the last 4 hours.
"Erm we have some clothes but you said you wanted to go shopping for more another time," I said, tugging her over to sit on a bench outside a random store and looked through the bags "We have blankets, baby lotions, baby monitor, bibs, bottle, your pump thing, burp cloths, curtains, diaper bag, diapers, soft toys, nursing pillow and normal pillows, rash cream, sheets, towel and wipes," I said, taking a breath.
Gabriella nodded "There delivering the crib, car seat, wardrobe, stroller and changing table like next week," Gabs added.
"Fuck that's a lot in 4 hours," I mumbled.
"I'll get the rest when me and your mom go shopping when I'm banned from school," Gabriella mumbled, angrily.
"Babe," I whined, pulling her head close to my chest.
"Whatever," She giggled and pushed me away. "You ready Chad?"
"Sure, more torture," Chad said in a sarcastic happy voice.
Me and Gabs laughed and stood up, me taking two bags in one hand and holding Gabriella's hand in the other. "One more shop and then go we go home?" I asked, pouting as we walked into a one of Gabriella's shops, not that she need anymore clothes. "Babe, you have a ton of clothes,"
"I just want to browse the maternity bit, it's valentines day in 3 days and I want to look good," Gabriella explained "Unless you've forgot," She elbowed me in my chest and smiled.
"Nope, I have the day planned," I grinned, leaning down to kiss her cheek as she looked at a few dresses.
"Sure?" She raised an eyebrow and looked up at me.
"Yup," I quickly pecked her lips "I'm gonna wait with Chad outside so come to us when your finished, yet?" I asked. "Don't be late though, I have work tonight," I said, rubbing her hips.
"Okay," Gabriella waved off and continued looking at other dresses. I smiled slightly before walking out and to Chad.
"Finished?" Chad asked, sitting on a bench opposite the shop.
"Gabs just wants a dress for valentine's and then we're done," I chuckled and Chad's pained look, his head in his hands. "So are you definitely going Duke?" I asked, Chad.
"Yep, moving day is August 22nd," He smiled but then it faded a little. "How upset are you that you aren't going Duke?" Chad asked, carefully.
I ran a hand through my hand "I'm not, really. I've been on UCLA website looking at all the different things and it's looks amazing. Me and the soccer coach and the principal person were talking on the phone the other day and we organized that I would go to college 4 days a week and be with Gabs and my boy for 3 days and take a class at night on a Tuesday," I smiled "It's be easier than being across the country from them," I explained and was actually shocked myself that the college wanted me so bad that they let me do that and they said they understood.
"Wow," Chad said "You must be good," He laughed.
"I just hope I live up to everyone expectations," I sighed not only meaning college soccer which I know is hard but also being a good father at a young age.
"You will," Chad smiled a toothless smile. I loved Chad as my best friend because he could be serious when I needed him to be and he can be a good laugh too plus he gets along with Gabs and supports us.
"Alright, finished. We can go," Gabs said, walking over to us, holding her a bag smiling. "And yes Troy, I am carrying this bag," She said before I could even take it off her "It's light, okay? It's not gonna kill me," She smirked, standing between my legs, her hand made it's way behind my head to play with my hair. "What were you guys talking about?" She asked, curious. One of the many things she had picked up with the pregnancy along with crazy dreams and being angry at me one minute and then smiling. No weird cravings really thank god, just cheese and jalapeno peppers on toast.
"College," Chad answered as I wrapped my arms around Gabriella's tummy, caging the baby into between us.
"Oh yeah?" Gabriella asked, sending me a kinda scared look and I caught on to what she was thinking.
"And no, I haven't changed my mind. Everything is set up for me to go to UCLA, you know that. Moving today August 23rd," I told her firmly, she seemed to be little insecure because a couple of days ago we had a little argument because she kept saying and thinking that I would go off with another girl and leave her and our baby because she thought I'd want the typical college experience but I wanted my college experience.
"I know, I know," She got quieter but I saw her face light up a little so my confirmation may have actually sunk in.
"Can we go now," Chad whined from next to us rubbing his face.
"Yes, let's go," Gabriella yawned, stepping back so I could get up.
"Tired?" I asked and tucked my thumb into the belt loop of her maternity jeans.
"Yeah," She mumbled, resting her head on my bicep I flexed a little "Stop showing off," She mumbled and I felt her body shake a little because of her giggling.
I chuckled "Just cause I have big guns," I smirked and gave her thigh a small squeeze to tell her I was joking with her.
"You do," Chad said, shrugging.
I looked at him weirdly "Never. Say. That. Again. That was wrong on so many levels," I pulled a disgusted face at Chad.
"Yeah," He faked a cough "Never said that," He coughed again and I just laughed at him.
STSTSTSTSTSTSTSTSTST
"Baby," I groaned "I have to go," I bit my lip as Gabriella's plump lips caressed the sensitive ski just above my collar bone.
"10 more minutes," Gabriella whispered, hooking her bare leg over mine as we lay in Gabriella's bed, completely naked under the sheets of her bed.
I moaned as she sucked on my neck and her hand was now stroking my inner thigh, getting closer and closer to my manhood. "No, I have to go make money for our baby," I said, sitting up, ridding her hands and lips off me "God, I just wanna stay here and blow your mind," I bit my lip, pulling together all of my little sanity "I need to go to work," I got out of bed, found my boxers and pulled out my black polo and black pants from Gabriella's wardrobe before straightening my hair and walking over to her on her side of her bed. "I love you," I mumbled against her lips, kissing them with my swollen ones for a couple seconds before pulling back and finding my converse.
"I love you too," She whispered and snuggled into the sheets.
I smiled at the satisfied beauty before throwing her my t-shirt "Put this one before Felix gets back," I kissed her forehead before running out of the door and into my truck, setting off for my 6 hour shift. 4pm til 10pm; I was working behind the counter until 5, that's when the cheese shop closes and then in the café bit until 10 when it closes plus I have to lock up.
"Hey man," Cody smiled as I jumped over the counter and stood next to my work friend who goes to a different high school than me, same age.
"Hey," I nodded, rubbing my eyes.
"What's up with you?" Cody asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"Tired and no I have to do a 6 hour shift," I let my forehead fall on the counter top but straightened up when I heard someone coming through the door. Me and Cody smiled at the old lady and she went searching for what she needed.
"How's the girlfriend?" Cody asked, straightening a few things out on my counter to make them look presentable and sell-able.
"Good thanks. Have I told you we're having a boy?" I asked, grinning up at Cody. If he didn't know before he does now.
"No way, Congratulations dude," I felt his hand slap my back twice before serving the lady and we started up our conversation again after she left the shop.
"Thanks," I bit my lip, trying to suppress a huge grin.
"When did you find out?" Cody asked, seeming genuinely interested.
"At her 20 week scan so like almost a week ago," I told him. I loved talking about the baby but I am also a little nervous to how the person will react when I tell them that my 17 year old girlfriend is pregnant with my child. My family all had a go at me when they found out and literally dug into me saying how irresponsible it was and so on but after I will they thought I was being very grown up about the situation and can't wait to meet the pregnant Gabriella, so their all coming up for a day on the 14th which is in 4 days.
Cody laughed "You know 2 months ago, if that. This was the big news ever at my school," Cody admitted.
"What? Gabriella?" I asked, slightly confused.
"Noo," He dragged out the 'o' "That the Captain of the soccer team knocked up his sweet, innocent girlfriend," He said, talking like he was on the news drawing an invisible line with his hand.
I chuckled, ignoring the comment slightly "Gabriella may seem sweet and innocent to everybody but I know that real Gabs, she's very sweet and not very innocent," I chuckled, that's all I was saying about mine and Gabriella's love life as it's between me and her to me and the world.
"Bolton! Your needed in here," The chef yelled to me, slamming a plate down.
My eyes widened a little and I jumped over the counter, grabbing an apron "In abit, dude," I quickly rushed off to serve people their food. A black tie was put round my neck and I quickly tied it, walking back to grab more plates and hand them out.
At about 9 o'clock it started to die down a little. "Order's up," I heard the chef yell and I spun round, collecting the plates and walking over to a table full of giggling girls and I inwardly rolled my eyes.
"Caesar salad?" I asked in mono tone once I stopped at their table.
A blonde haired girl, slightly raised her hand and I put it infront of her earning a thanks and a few lustful gazes.
"And the rest rice pudding?" I asked and they nodded. I put the other 3 rice puddings infront of the 3 other girls. The blonde closest to me, tugged on my tie but I pulled back, pulling my tie away from the actually quite ugly blonde. "Listen I'm taken and she's pregnant," I said, looking at them all "Enjoy your meals," I said before walking away and giving more people their food.

"I'm home!" I shouted once I go threw the door. 'In here' I heard my mom shouted from the living area and walked into the room to see my mom and dad sitting on the couch and Dylan and 3 of Dylan's friends sitting by the shopping bags. "Hey! What are you doing?" I exclaimed.
"Mom wouldn't let us look in the bags and I wanna see what you brought," My little brother explained, huffing and puffing.
"Well I'll show you," I said, sitting on the floor with them.
"See, I told you to wait and he'd let you," My mom said, in triumph leaning into my dad's side.
"Yeah, yeah," Dylan rolled his eyes.
I emptied all the bags onto the floor and let them look at all the stuff "Oh and Dad the crib, wardrobe, the crib, car seat, stroller and changing table are being delivered next week. Felix won't be in so I was wondering if you could help me se them up? Oh and Felix is letting us keep the baby there because he's the other side of the house and probably won't be able to hear the screaming. I'll be over there a lot too," I explained to my parents to keep them up too date with everything that was happening.
"That's good of him," My mom said, smiling.
"Yeah sure I will son," Dad smiled.
"What the hell is this?" Dylan asked, holding up Gabriella's breast pump with a weird face on.
Me, mom and dad all burst out laughing "It's Gabriella's breast pump," I told Dylan who's face screwed up.
"For what?" He asked and I knew he would regret it.
"If Gabriella's not in and I'm looking after him by myself and he gets hungry, I'll have her milk to feed him with," I explained, smirking at the look on Dylan's and his friends faces.
"Makes sense I guess," Dylan shrugged before holding up green coloured fleece blanket with jungle print on it. "This is cute," He smiled.
"Aw," My mom cooed holding up a tiny towel.
"You know this may sound so weird but I can't wait to bath him," I chuckled, gazing at the little towel my mom was holding with a little smile on my face.
