Taylor was driving Gabriellas car to the station. She didnt even want to think about what Chad did to end up in here. She parked her car and went in.
"Hi Im Taylor Danforth. Im here to pick up my husband." She told the women at teh front desk.
"Name." She demanded.
"Chad Danforth." She told her.
"That will be 30,000 dollars bail." She told her. Taylor jaw dropped.
"30,000 dollars. What the hell did he do?" She asked her. The women typed in a name and the report came up.
"Being caught driving under the influence of alcohol." Taylor put a hand on her head.
"Oh my god." She whispered. She looked up at the women.
"Do you guys take checks?" The women nodded.
"Great." Taylor took out her check book and wrote out the amount and signed in and handed it over to the women.
"He'll be right out. You can have a seat over there." The women pointed. Taylor walked over and took a seat and waited. She looked around. She was the only person in here. Not a lot of stuff happens in this town.
She turned her head and saw her husband walk out. She ran up to him and threw her arms around him.
"Dont ever do this again." She whispered. He kissed her head and hugged her more. She backed up and whipped the tears from under her eyes.
"Lets go." She walked out and he followed. He could tell that he wasnt off the hook yet.
"What the hell were you thinking?" She asked him as she opened the car door. He looked over the car to see her face.
"You wouldnt talk to me." He told her.
"So what now every time I dont talk to you your going to drink then drive drunk. Are you out of your mind?" She asked him. He dropped his head.
"You could have gotten hurt you know. You could have killed someone or you could have killed yourself." She got in the car and slammed the door. He got in the passengers side and closed the door.
"Taylor. Im so sorry that I put you through all of this. Baby Im in a though spot right now,"Taylor looked up.
"Your in a tough spot. Im pregnant, my husband doesn't even give me a response about how he feels about it, Im living at my friends house heartbroken and scared, then the police call saying your in jail and that I have to come get you, and I just dropped 30,000 dollars for your little stunt you pulled. I am in a though spot. Not YOU!" She yelled.
"Taylor what do you want me to say to you? I told you I am sorry for everything. I flew out here to say Im sorry and try to get you to talk to me. Your just being stubborn. Tay I love you so much and I am so excited about our baby." Taylor looked out the window. Chad put a finger under her chin and turned her head around and kissed her, hard. She straighten her back up and ran her hands through his bushy hair. She kept going then came back up for air.
"I love you so much. Dont you ever do any of this to me ever again. Do you hear me?" She asked. He nodded.
"Good." She kissed him hard again and they slipped into the back of the car.
"Hey baby." Gabriella said when she picked her daughter up at her mother-in-laws house later that night with Troy.
"How was she?" Troy asked his mother.
"An angel. She changed and fed so she should be good for a little while." She told them. Gabriella kissed her daughters head as she started to dose off.
"So are you still comming over for thanksgiving tomorrow?" Gabriella asked her. She nodded.
"You know I wouldn't miss it." Gabriella smiled. Troy kissed his moms cheek and got Sophie out of Gabriellas arms and put her in the car seat.
"Do you need me to bring anything for tomorrow?" She asked her. Gabriella shook her head.
"No I have everything covered. Thank you though." Mrs. Bolton kissed Gabriellas cheek and brought her into a hug.
"I know that this is hard for you being the first Thanksgiving without your mother, but sweetie, I know that she would want you to be happy with everything. Just remember that ok?" She whispered in her ear. Gabriella started to cry a little. She nodded into her shoulder.
"Yeah I will. Thank you." Mrs. Bolton patted her back and let her go.
"Ok so we will see you tomorrow?" Troy asked her. MRs. Bolton nodded and Gabriella and Troy with Sophie in hand headed out to the car. Gabriella climed into the passengers side and started to bawl her eyes out. Troy put Sophie in the car fast and closed the door.
"Hey hey hey. Whats wrong?" Troy asked her. Gabriella shook her head.
"Gabs. Come on whats up?" She took a deep breath.
"Not until a few minutes ago I realized my mom isnt around this year. I knew in the back of my mind that she was not going to be there, but it just hit me right now." Gabriella bawled.
"Oh honey." Troy soothed her.
"She always makes dinner, always. This year its my turn without her help, and I have a feeling Im going to mess it up and shes not there to make her mashed potatoes that I have been having since I was a kid and and....." Gabriella cried. Troy pulled her into her arms and she cried. Troy hated seeing her like this. He knew how hard it was for Gabriella. He just hated her beating her self up.
"Gabs, tomorrows dinner will be great. You have nothing to worry about." Troy told her as he rubbed her shoulders.
"I know it will. Its just...its just..." She cried.
"I know babe. I know."
Troy and Gabriella pulled into the driveway. Gabriella's car didn't return yet. Taylor nor Chad called or texted either of them. It was around 10 when the three of them finally got into the house. Troy took Sophie into her room and put her into bed. Troy came back in and found Gabriella lying in bed. Troy took off his T-Shirt and climed in. He put his arms around Gabriella and kissed her neck.
"I love you." He whispered.
"I love you to." She whispered back to him. The two sat there in complete silence then the phone rang. Gabriella reached to pick it up but Troy beat her to it.
"Hello?" He asked groggily into the phone
"Its Taylor." She told him.
"Hey. How did you make out?" He asked trying to wake up.
"Fine. Everythings fine. I will tell you tomorrow but I just wanted to let you know that Im home and that I will bring the car back tomorrow." She told him.
"Ok sounds good kid." Troy told her.
"Ok goodnight. Oh and Troy." She told him.
"Yeah."
"Thank you. For everything. For putting up with me." Taylor told him.
"Dont mention it Taylor. Ill see you tomorrow." Troy ended the call and put the phone back on the hook and fell back to sleep. Tomorrow was a new day.
Troy stirred around and put his hand where Gabriella usually is. She wasnt there. His eyes shot open and turned towards the clock. It was eight. She got out of bed and went to the bath room.
"Gabs." He called through the house. He went into Sohpies bedroom and she wasnt there. He went downstairs and the Thanksgiving Day parade was on TV. Sophie was in her swing and Gabriella was drinking coffee watching it.
"Hey babe." He said when he walked into the living room. She smiled.
"Hi."
"How you doing?" He asked her.
"Im alright." She told him. He took a seat next to her on the couch and kissed her.
"How long have you been up?" He asked.
"Not long. She started crying so I got up and fed her and came down here." She explained. "hey who called last night?" She asked.
"It was Taylor. She just said that everything is fine and she is bringing the car back today." Gabriella smiled. She was happy that Taylor was back on her feet.
"What time is your sister coming in?" Troy asked. Gabriella invited Anna to come over. She hasnt seen the new house or Sophie yet, so Gabriella invited her over to stay for a few days.
"Around 10 I think. I just wanted to watch the beginning of this then I was going to get ready." Gabriella told him taking a sip of her coffee.
"Sounds good to me." Troy told her as they watched the parade and relaxed.
"What gate is she coming in at?" Troy asked Gabriella. He had Sophie in his hands and her diaper bag.
"Gate 3. She should be here soon." Gabriella told him looking at her watch. She stood on her tip toes looking around then finally she saw Anna.
"GABBI!!" Anna yelled. Gabriella ran up to her and Anna dropped all of her bags and embraced her sister. They both started to cry. Its been a long time.
"Look at you momma." Anna said. Gabriella laughed.
"What did you do to your hair?" She asked Anna.
"Chopped it all off. Do you like it?" She asked.
"I love it. Come here." She hugged her sister again. "You have no idea how much I missed you."
"I missed you to. So where is Troy and my little niece?" Anna asked Gabriella.
"I left them over there. Come on." Gabriella grabbed one of Annas bags and she followed.
"Hey Troy." Anna said when she came over to Troy and Sophie.
"Hey Anna." Troy hugged her. Anna put her hands over her mouth once she saw Sophie.
"Oh my god. Gabriella she is beautiful." Anna said. She caressed Sophies cheek. She was sucking on her hand.
"Anna this is Sophia Ann Bolton." Gabriella told her sister.
"Shes precious. Can I hold her?" Troy handed Sophie over to Anna.
"I cant believe this is her! Im so sorry I wasnt here when she was born." Anna told her sister.
"Oh its ok. Im glad your here now." Anna smiled.
"Ok. Well we should get back and get ready. People are coming over soon." Anna had Sophie and Gabriella and Troy got her bags.
"ANNA!" The three of them turned around and saw a man running toward them.
"Oh baby. Im so sorry. I got hemmed up and forgot all about you." Anna leaned in a kissed the man. He resembled Troy. He had short black hair which was gelled back and he had some muscles on him.
"Eric this my sister Gabriella and her husband Troy." Anna pointed to the two of them who looked shell shocked. Gabriella snapped out of it.
"Hi Im Eric Romanko." He put out his hand and shook both of their hands.
"Hi Im Gabriella and this is Troy." She told him again.
"Well its very nice to meet the two of you." He told them. They both smiled not knowing what to make of it.
"Ok well lets go." Anna said and her and Eric walked off with Troy and Gabriella close behind.
"Did you know about any of this?" Troy asked Gabriella.
"Not a clue."
"So when were you going to drop the bomb about this Eric guy?" Gabriella asked her sister when they were in the kitchen getting dinner ready.
"Im sorry I didnt tell you about him. It was spur of the moment." Anna told her.
"Right of course." Gabriella told her.
"What is wrong with you. I thought you would be cool with this." Anna told her.
"Well I just wish you told me because now I have to feed a whole other person." Gabriella told her.
"Wow Gabs, a whole other mouth to feed." Anna told her.
"This dinner is causing me a lot of stress and now I thought I had all the place settings for people but now I dont so there." Gabriella said taking the turkey out of the oven.
"Ok I will make his place then if this is what is going on. God. Get over it." Anna told her walking out of the kitchen. Gabriella took a deep breath and kept on doing what she was doing.
"Hello?" Gabriella heard Sharpay come in.
"In here." Gabriella called back. Sharpay walked in and saw Gabriella wearing a apron.
"Arnt we the working girl." Sharpay told her. Gabriella glared at her.
"Whats wrong?" She asked her.
"Anna brought some boyfriend with her and she didnt tell me now I have to set a whole other place." Gabriella told her.
"Yeah, and?" Sharpay didnt see the problem with it.
"Nothing you dont understand. Nevermind." Gabriella brushed it off.
"Ok." Sharpay chirped. "Zeke made pumpkin pie, cookies, apple pie, and something else that I cant pronounce." Sharpay said looking into the bag.
"Great. Can you put it in the fridge?" Sharpay nodded and went to the fridge.
"So did you hear from Taylor?" She asked Gabriella who was putting green beans in a pot.
"Troy talked to her last night. Everything is fine, Im assuming she will tell us when she gets here." Sharpay nodded.
"OK wheres my god daughter?" She asked her friend.
"In the living room with the guys." Sharpay walked out and Troy came in.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Just peachy." She said sarcastically.
"Eric seems nice." Troy told her.
"Thats great. Happy for them." She told him taking the rolls out and setting them on a plate.
"Gabs please dont be like this today." He told her.
"Troy. Im not getting into this right now." She told him walking over to the wine cooler and talking it out.
"I know she didnt tell you but." Gabriella cut him off.
"Troy I talk to her maybe once a week, she didnt tell me he was coming or that she had a boyfriend. She usually tells me these things." Gabriella said trying to open the wine.
"Maybe she wanted to surprise you." He told her.
"Thats not funny." Gabriella was still trying to open that wine. Troy looked at her.
"Go do something." Gabriella told him walking out of the kitchen.
Taylor and Chad walked in the front door.
"Happy Thanksgiving!" Taylor said with a smile.
"Happy Thanksgiving." Gabriella told them as she both hugged them.
"So is everything ok now?" Gabriella asked him.
"Everything is perfect." Chad said kissing Taylor. Gabriella smiled.
"Im so happy for you guys." She told them. "Everyone is in the living room I just want to go change. You can meet Annas new boyfriend!" Gabriella told them. They both looked at he confused.
"Yeah I didnt know either." Gabriella walked back into the kitchen.
"Can I at least help?' Anna asked.
"How long have you been seeing him?" Gabriella asked her.
"Gabi." Anna sighed.
"Anna just answer the question." Anna sighed again. She looked down and tapped her heel on the hardwood flooring.
"Almost a year." She told her.
"A YEAR! AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME?" Gabriella yelled.
"Gabriella you dont understand the reason I didnt tell you was because everything that happened with mom you were heartbroken then you and Troy with the baby and I just didnt want to tell you right away. I didnt think it would be anything. I thought it was just a fling." Anna explained.
"My Mom is here!" Troy yelled from the other room.
"Gabs. Can we please just talk about this." Anna pleaded.
"LETS EAT!" Gabriella yelled so everyone could hear. She took her apron off and walked out to the dining room. She took her place and looked at all the food on the table. She got the cooking done, not the actual dinner.
