Author's Note- Hey Guys, My nephew's funeral was Thursday and it was beautiful. They made a memorial video for him at the church and they played his favorite song, "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts and the things that had me crying the most was that they put a picture of me and Tanner together and my dad saw and put his arm around me and I cried. It was closed casket. There was too much damage from the attack, so it was closed. I made Tanner some videos on my Youtube's. You can get the link to my youtube on my profile if you don't know it yet. Tanner's step grandpa came up to me on Thursday, gave me a hug and said, "Tanner talked about you a lot you know. He said you were his favorite aunt." I cried when I heard that too. Tanner was 7 years, 8 months and 12 days old. He's in a better place now. Sorry for the lack of update. But it's been rough.
Chapter 19
Gabriella and Troy finally got the last box of Bethany's stuff into her new room. It was looking nice. Since Gabriella was pregnant, Troy told her sharply that she wasn't allowed to paint with the fumes taking into the room. She of course giggled and went to play with Riley. The room was a light shade of green and the bed had a light pink covering and a few purple here in there through out the room. Gabriella had asked Beth her favorite colors and they were light green, light pink and any color purple except a really dark purple.
Overall the room looked nice.
Bethany was already at the house getting situated and helping Riley with her homework.
Gabriella walked down the stairs being careful and stepped into the living room. She looked around and her eyes landed on her husband, who was watching the sports channel. She laughed quietly and walked over to him.
Gabriella's Point of View
"Troy, Beth said she'd watch Riley for us while we go to talk to Tyler. I want to do it today because Beth told me that Tyler always spent Sunday's with his parents. His parents and him should be out of church by now. So let's head over there and ta--" I was cut off by Troy's lips onto mine. I giggled into the kiss and we pulled back from each other. I was about to talk but he beat me to the chase...hmmm Chase...
"You wouldn't be quiet. So I had to shush you." I grinned and nodded. Troy went upstairs, told Beth we were leaving and he grabbed the keys and left towards, Tyler Scott's house.
About 15 minutes later we arrived in front of his house. Troy got out and came over to my side and helped me out and put a hand protectively over my growing belly. I giggled and he grinned as we made our way to the front door.
Troy knocked and a woman about 38 opened the door and smiled at us.
"You must be Gabriella and Troy Bolton, My name is Leslie Scott and the men of the house are here some where." She said as we walked into her lovely home.
"Yes, I'm Gabriella of course and this is Troy." I smiled at her. She laughed.
"My son's love you, Mr. Bolton." She said.
"Thanks and please, call me Troy." He said and we sat down in the living room.
"How is your pregnancy going Gabriella?" She asked me.
"Tiring. They kick constantly and won't stop. But I love it. It's a great feeling to have." I said and Troy placed his hand on my Belly and grinned.
"Do you know what you guys are having?" Leslie asked.
"We're having Boys." Troy said proudly.
"Troy...You think we're having boys."I said warning him.
"I know we're having boys." He inquired.
"How so?" I asked.
"I asked the doctor." I gasped.
"No you didn't!" he grinned and nodded.
"Sorry. I just really wanted to know, babe." I laughed quietly.
"Congratulations, guys."Leslie said smiling at us.
"YO! mom!!" I heard a voice booming from the stairs.
"Tyler! Get down here!" Leslie shouted. I heard him groaned and come down the stairs. He was a handsome boy. Green eyes, Brown shaggy hair and was dressed in Blue jeans and a green polo and some vans. He came over and sat down. He knew we were coming today. He looked over at me and smiled at me then a huge grin on his face when he saw Troy Bolton in his living room.
"Your Troy Bolton!"
"That's what it says on my birth certificate." Troy smirked. I laughed as well as Leslie. Tyler laughed along and we heard a few more people come in.
"Leslie, Tyler!" A male voice came in.
"Oh! Nick! In the living room." I saw a man about 40 come in and give me and Troy a warm smile.
"Hello! I'm Nick Scott." I smiled and said hello.
"Is everyone here?" I asked.
"No, we're waiting on Alyson and Ben."(a/n: tehe the names of the people from Knocked Up).
"MOM!!" I heard two teens say in unison running in the room. I remember Bethany telling me about Tyler's siblings. Aly and Ben are Twins and are 15 and are freshmen at East High.
"Now we're all here." Nick said. I nodded and I started.
"Ummm, as you all know the situation Tyler is in, correct?" I asked making sure.
"Yes." they replied.
"Well, Beth is 6 months along, and she recently moved into mine and Troy's house."
"Is that okay, with your job in all?" I heard Nick ask. I nodded.
"Ummm, Troy here actually got me on leave for the next 4 ½ months, because he's so protective." I heard Leslie laugh a little as well as Alyson.
"Is...ummm...Beth...you know...ummm...ok?" Tyler asked. I looked at him and sighed.
"Not really, Tyler." I answered.
"Why not?"he asked.
"Tyler! You know damn well why Beth is not ok!" Leslie shouted at him.
"I know...I know! I messed up! Ok! God Damnit!" he shouted standing up.
"Don't you speak in the name of God like that in this house young man!"Nick defended.
"sorry." Tyler answered.
"Does she need anything, Gabriella? Troy?" Nick asked.
"Not right now. But she feels scared, afraid, and more." Troy answered for me and I nodded.
"Well, my lunk head brother over here is a total jerk to her at school." Alyson jumped in.
"How so?" I asked.
"Ignores her, goes along with whatever his beotch girlfriend, Marisol says about her and more. I love Beth. She's uber nice." Alyson said and Ben nodded in agreement with his sister.
"You know Tyler, I was in your position at 18 though." Troy said quietly.
"Really? How? It's not like you went and got someone pregnant at a party, had a girlfriend that you cheated on and now have a baby coming soon." Tyler retorted. I cleared my throat. No one knew about how Riley came to be really.
"Ummm... actually I was exactly in your spot, dude." Troy said.
"You cheated on your girlfriend, had sex with a girl you barely know...well you know her but don't really talk to her...got her pregnant and had a baby?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah actually I did. I had a daughter and Gabriella and I named her Riley." Tyler froze and then looked at me.
"You and Troy got pregnant at 18?" I nodded. "Ummm...you cheated on your girlfriend?" Tyler asked Troy. Troy nodded.
"Wow."
"Yeah, but we're really good friends with his ex, now." I said.
"Tyler I can't believe your a jerk to Bethany Martin. She's the sweetest girl I've ever known." Leslie informed us. I nodded in agreement.
"She is Tyler. She just feels like your not going to want this baby in your life at all and that your going to abandoned her to take care of this precious child." I said.
"I didn't know she felt that way." Tyler admitted.
"No shit Sherlock!" Ben shouted at him.
"Hey!" Tyler shouted back. " I made a mistake--"
"Yes you did! And your hurting Beth by being with that skank Marisol!" Alyson jumped in.
"..."
"See you don't even have words to say about it." Alyson said. Tyler was looking down. Troy's cell phone started ringing.
Your beautiful baby from the outside in.
Chase your dreams but always know the road that'll lead you home again.
Go on, take on this whole world.
But to me you know you'll always be, my little girl...
I smiled at his ring tone. Riley had heard it on the radio station as she was going through them and Troy said that Riley was his little girl. Riley told Troy that, that should be her ring tone for him for when she calls him. He agreed and and laughed. Troy answered his cell.
"Hello?" he asked.
"Daddy!" Riley shouted.
"Riley what's going on? Why are you shouting?" Troy asked panicking. What was going on!? Why was Riley calling?
"Daddy! It's Bethany!! There's something wrong with her!" Riley said crying.
"Riley, did you call 911?" I panicked! 911?!
"Yeah! they said they would be here in a few minutes. Daddy she's hurting and she says she's bleeding." Troy gasped.
"Riley, listen to me. When the ambulance gets there go with Beth and say your her sister. And that she was watching you so you have to go with them and me and mommy will meet you at the hospital, okay?" Troy said.
"Okay daddy." Riley said and hung up. Troy shut his phone.
"Troy what's going on?" I asked scared. Troy looked around and saw that Nick, Leslie, Tyler, Alyson and Ben were looking at him for an answered. I looked at Tyler and he looked scared for Bethany.
"It's Bethany. I think she's going to have a miscarriage."
Troy's ring tone was 'My Little Girl' by Tim McGraw. Great song. I sing it and compare it to my dad and me:)
