JUST TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST CHAPTER

Gabriella sat on the couch rubbing her belly waiting for David to come pick up Lissy for the weekend. She read over the paperwork for the apartment her and Troy found a few days before.

"Mama, we'rd me and daddy oing," Lissy asked turning her attention away from her princess dolls.

"I'm not sure, maybe he'll take you to the park like always."

A few seconds later the door bell rung. Gabriella got up as fast as she could and told Lissy to go get her over night bag that was in their room. She opened the door and saw David with some girl.

"Hey Gab, this is my new girlfriend Jane," David said gesturing to the blonde next to him.
"Hi nice to meet you," Gabriella said politely.

"Yea hi," was all Jane said.

Gabriella welcomed them into the house and by then Lissy was coming down the stairs with her bag over her shoulder.

"Daddy are'd we oing oo the park," Lissy asked while still making her way down the stairs.

"Yeah sure sweetheart id that's were you want to go…. I was thinking after dinner we can go get some ice cream," he said wrapping his arm around Jane.

"Yay!," she cheered as she reached the last step.

Gabriella watched Lissy attentively as she walked over to David and Jane.

"Hi, what your aim, ine is Lissy, ine almost free," she said holding up three fingers. Both David and Gabriella smiled, amazed how big she was getting.

"Lissy this is my girlfriend Jane," David said picking her up so she was at their level.

"Ar'd oo oing to the ark too?"

Jane just looked at Lissy confused, not understanding what Lissy had said.

"She wants to know if you're going to the park too," Gabriella translated.

"O I don't know."
Just then the door opened and in came Troy still wearing his practice jersey.

"O hey man what's up," Troy said walking over to them. In the past few weeks they became closer as friends.

"Nothing man, how's the teem going?"
"It's going good, the new kids are almost ready," he responded.
"Um, guys can we go into the living room and talk my back is starting to hurt," Gabriella interrupted.

"Oh yeah sorry Gabs," David said as they all walked into the living room.

The boys continued to talk while Gabriella watched them trying to keep up with their conversation, although Jane was just watching Gabriella with a smug look on her face.

Somehow the conversation got into how the baby was another girl.

"We just can't get a boy huh," David joked.

"Yeah well that's your guys' fault not mine, you choose that part," Gabriella said.

"Maybe she'll be into sports so that'll make up for it," Troy smiled.

"You guys are horrible…..You know you both love Lissy to death and wouldn't change any part of her," Gabriella said.

"You're right," they both sighed.

Jane kept rolling her eyes at them the whole entire time they were talking. When Troy would warp his arm around Gabriella, Jane would give them a dirty look and would lean into David even more; it was like a competition for her.

"Daddy I'd ungry," Lissy said pulling on David's shirt.

"Okay, we're going right now….Go say bye to mama," Lissy hopped off David's lap and ran to Gabriella.

"Kay see you later baby, be good for daddy and Grandma. I'll pick you up Sunday night," Gabriella said giving Lissy a big hug.

"Okie dokie mama I ove you."

"Love you too baby."
after she was done saying goodbye to her mom, she said it to the baby and then to Troy.

"David remember not too much ice cream, last time she was up all night throwing it back up," Gabriella yelled as they walked out to David's car.

"I know Gabriella, it's not the first time I've watched her."

"Sorry, stepping off now," Gabriella knew she was being a little too over protective of Lissy.

Gabriella and Troy stood on the porch as David drove away. Even thought David is a great father, Gabriella still worries every time Lissy goes with him or anyone.

"She'll be fine," Troy said rubbing his hands up and down her arms, "Calm down."

"I know, I know."

They walked hand-in-hand back into the house already missing the 2 ½ year olds voice mocking the Disney Channel show. They walked up stairs so Gabriella could get ready for work.

"Where's you mom?"

"O she had to go to work for a little bit," Gabriella answered pulling on her blue work shirt. Troy sat on her bed and watched her get ready, smiling at her when she struggled to put on her pants.

"So guess who called me today about graduation," Gabriella said.

"Who?"

"Mr. Matsui, he called today after school to tell me that it would be best if I just have my diploma sent to me instead of walking across the stage like everyone else," she said pulling her hair into a pony tail.

"Why?"
"Because he thinks it'll ruin the school's image to have a pregnant girl graduate on stage," she said angry.

"That is the stupidest thing, I mean your even graduating a year early, I would think they would want to flaunt that."

"Yeah well whatever, I guess it would be better if I just not go, not matter what I'll still be a graduate," she said pulling on her flats.

"No Gabriella you're gonna go, you worked too hard to not walk across that stage, you deserve it. And I know your mom can't wait to see you."

"But if it's going to be a big deal then I shouldn't go," she said putting her phone in her pocket.

Troy rolled his eyes, "what are you going to tell the girls when they ask you why I have a graduation picture and you don't?"
"I don't know, I guess I'll think about it," she said.

He smiled then gave her a short kiss.

After she was done Troy drove her to work.

"After work we'll go get some dinner, and have a little date night," he said before she got out of the car.

"Sounds great," she gave him a kiss then went to go clock in.

It was a slow day like always so Gabriella and the other ladies just talked and gossiped about everything. All the other ladies are all mothers but they all are over 25 and have graduated high school already.

"So Gabby we all are so proud of you and we wanted to give you a graduation present," one said, "it's somethings to help you while at school." They handed her a basket full of notebooks, pens, pencils, a calculator, some chocolate bars and a bottle of Tylenol. Gabriella smiled, "Thanks guys it's awesome….I really appreciate it."

"No problem, we want to see you get as much education as possible.

They had threw Gabriella a little graduation party for her.

SORRY GUYS IT TOOK SO LONG, BUT I WANT TO THANK ALL YOU GUYS WHO GAVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS, I'LL TRY TO USE ALL OF THEM.
