Baby S

Chapter Twenty-One

Okay…okay…I know I haven't been the one talking to you this entire time but I felt that after the events in the last chapter I had too. I mean I want you guys to know where I'm coming from. Now you guys may think I went a little overboard but seriously Troy and I have been together raising a family together since our senior year, and during that time we have made an effort to remain truthful to one another until recently. This whole ordeal has made me so angry with him. I mean I'm really upset, I just don't know how he could keep something from me like this. I know you guys are like, it's not that serious, and if I wasn't married to the man I might agree. And if you're still on Troy's side well here's some news that should make you feel better. Last night was the absolute worst night of my life, I mean for the first time since Troy and I hooked up I was sleeping in his arms. I was miserable. I don't know what to do, I mean my friend is suffering and for a certain amount of time my husband knew why and he didn't say anything. Chad should have told her when it happened, because the way Gabriella's taking right now it seems like he's lost one of the best things in his life. His girlfriend and his unborn child, however I'm going to let them deal with their drama because now Troy and I have drama of our own that needs to be fixed immediately. Like one of you said…this is way you do not get involved in other people's drama.

Troy groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, for the first time in his married life he had awakened without Taylor in his arms. Moving slowly he sat up on the sofa and yawned while stretching his body out. "So much for a good night's sleep." He mumbled as he stood up and headed upstairs, to his bedroom. When he finally made it to his bedroom door he was surprised to find the door opened. Pushing it opened he saw Taylor sitting up on the small lounger in their room looking outside their bedroom window. He could tell by the way the sheets were on the bed that she had a rough night just like him. "Taylor?" he called out quietly, she turned to look at him but didn't say anything. She just looked him over and turned around and began focusing her attention back towards the window.

"Oh so I'm going to get the silence treatment now huh." He asked her while he continued to look in her direction. Before either of them could say anything else, Jaxon pushed the door opened followed by Aisha who was holding Sean's hand.

"Momma." Jaxon exclaimed as he raced across the room, and motioned for Taylor to pick him up. Both Taylor and Troy wiped the frowns off their faces and looked at their children who were now all in the room. Taylor hoisted her son up and into her lap and then watched as Aisha and Sean went to Troy. As Troy sat down on the edge of the bed with Aisha and Sean in his arms he looked over at Taylor and watched as Jaxon snuggled into her arms.

"Is everything okay?" he asked softly as he looked down at Aisha who was watching both him and Taylor closely.

"Yes, daddy…everything is fine. We just wanted to be with you and mommy." She said as she looked up at him. Troy nodded his head and looked over at Sean who had stuck his thumb in his mouth while closing his eyes and pressing himself into his side.

"You guys weren't scared last night were you." Taylor asked finally speaking; she looked over at Aisha who just shook her head.

"No…we weren't scared."

"Okay good…how about I cook you guys some pancakes." She said as she looked at her daughter and sons who instantly brighten at the mere mention of their favorite breakfast food. "But first you all have to get ready and that means washing up and brushing those teeth while I go downstairs and get everything ready alright."

"Alright mommy." Aisha said as she slipped down to the floor along with Sean. Taylor watched with amusement as Jaxon did the same and soon all their children where headed back to their rooms to get ready. Once Troy was sure they were gone, he looked over at Taylor and sighed.

"Can we please talk…can we please talk about this." He said as she stood up and heading towards the door. Reaching out he grabbed her hand and pulled her back over to him trying his best to be gently with her.

"Troy, I really don't want to talk about this right now alright. I have to go down stairs and fix breakfast and you…well you should be getting ready for work." Troy shook his head as she moved to open the door and closed it quickly so that she wouldn't leave.

"I don't care about work right about now…all I care about is you and how you're feeling. Come on Taylor we should try to fix this."

"You're right we should…look I'm going to go ahead and fix breakfast for the kids and you can either get dressed for work or try to figure out what to do but as for me…I'm going to focus on our children right now." And with that Taylor left, leaving Troy alone and upset because for the life of him he couldn't figure out how to fix things.

"Now's she giving me the silent treatment, Shells." Troy said as he paced around in Sheldon's office. "I mean she talks to me in front of the kids but I know she's doing that because she feels like she should…so they won't know what is going between us."

"Well, if you two aren't your normal lovey dovey selves then they should figure it." Sheldon said with a shake of his head. Troy just sighed and looked away from a moment before shaking his head. He walked over to the chair in front of Sheldon's desk and sat down.

"Man, I can't take this anymore she has got to talk to me before I lose my head man." Troy said with a sigh. "I mean I love her and her not talking me and treating me like she is, is driving me insane." He exclaimed with a shake of his head.

"Yeah, man I understand…before Jasmine and I eloped her parents were working overtime just to keep us apart and there were stretches of time where we didn't talk, and I didn't see her. It was awful." He replied softly as he looked at Troy.

"So you guys got together."

"Yeah, we got married and left…and we haven't gotten into many fights because besides or friends we are each other's family."

"You're like a brother to me and that makes you family."

"Thanks man but you know what I mean. Now from what you've told me, Taylor is just upset with you…extremely upset with you, but I know for a fact she would never leave you because she loves you to damn much to walk away from you."

"The same goes for me." He replied softly as he looked down at his hands.

"Then the only thing left for both of you is to fix it…your kids don't need to see you fight and I'm sure Wesley wouldn't want to either."

"So what are you suggesting?" Troy asked, Sheldon leaned forward and smiled at him for a moment before answering.

"You send the kids out for the night…heck I'll take Aisha cause J.J. been dying to see her and you drop the boys off at one of the grandparents' house and then you go home talk it out with your wife and make up with her alright."

"Yeah, you're right that's a brilliant idea." Troy said just as their sectary stuck her head into Sheldon's office. They both turned to look at her as she spoke.

"Mister Bolton."

"Yes, Lisa."

"There is a Mr. Chad Danforth that would like to speak with you should I send him into your office or-."

"Why don't you send him in here…this shouldn't take to long." He replied as he looked over at Sheldon who was watching the door closely. Lisa nodded and left and a few moments later Chad walked in looking just about as tired and heartbroken as Troy was. Both men looked at one another and then Chad broke the staring contest and sighed.

"I came here to tell you that I'm sorry for getting you involved in this mess…I should have never do it."

"I accept your apology Chad." Troy said, he had told himself nearly a week ago that he wasn't going to hold Chad responsible for his mistakes. Besides it was his fault he was involved in the first place. He should have told Chad no when the other man had asked him to keep his secret.

"So how is everything with Taylor she sounded pretty angry on the phone that day." He asked as he looked at Sheldon who was just silently watching the conversation.

"Threw my pillow at me and told me the couch was calling my name." Chad winced and shook his head.

"Again I'm sorry."

"So how's Gabriella have you talked to her yet." Chad shook his head while running a hand up and down the back of his neck.

"No, she won't return my phone calls and her mother even told me to just leave her alone, but I can't do that not when I love her and not when she's having my baby." He exclaimed brokenly.

"Where is she staying at her apartment or at her mother's house?"

"Her mother's house…cause I've driven out to her apartment and the lights are off all the time. I think she's staying with her mother."

"Well I can't offer you any other advice except to give Gabriella some time. She needs it." Troy said with a sigh. "I mean what you did was wrong…and she feels betrayed so just give her sometime and hopefully it will work itself out."

"I'm not so sure that will happen…but I'm willing to try anything at this point I need her in my life." Chad admitted meekly as he looked between Sheldon and Troy. Sheldon continued to watch them silently. Bowing his head, Chad looked at Troy and spoke again. "Look I just came by to say sorry and well…I understand if you don't want to talk to me again."

"I'm not going to kick you out of my life…you're one of my best friends…this…this was a mistake one that hopefully you and Gabriella can get through."

"Thanks…and I hope you and Taylor can get through your problems as well," Chad said as he glanced down at his watch. "I really should be heading out…I have some things to take care of and I need to do so immediately."

"Like what?"

"I have to go to a press conference where I will tell the media that I will be taking a leave of absence for the remainder of the season so I can focus on some personal problems. Well, Troy I guess I'll see you around."

"Bye man." Troy said as Chad left the room, Sheldon looked over at him and shook his head.

"Man he certainly has a lot of mess to clean."

"Yeah, he does…which reminds me, Shells do you mind if I take the day off so I can get things ready for tonight." Sheldon looked at him and nodded his head.

"Go ahead man…and how about I just pick up Aisha from the daycare center along with J.J. and you just drop by my house and give me the bag later on today."

"Sounds good to me, peace man…I'm out." Troy said as he left the room, Sheldon just leaned back in his chair and waited till he was gone before getting back to work, while silently hoping in his mind that everything went okay for Troy and that tomorrow when he came back to the office that his marriage was back on track.

"Hello?" Taylor called out as she entered the house that afternoon; she closed the door and set her things down. Just as she turned around, she gasped as she saw Troy standing there in the hallway. "Oh my god Troy you scared."

"I didn't mean too." She looked around and then back at him.

"Where are the kids?"

"Out for the night…I thought we needed some time to ourselves." He said as he moved towards her.

"Time to ourselves for what?"

"To talk about what happened because I'm not going to spend another day with you angry with me. I can't take it." He said firmly as he looked down at her, Taylor watched him for a moment and shook her head.

"I can't deal with this right now."

"Well you're going too." Troy snapped as he looked at her, reaching down he grabbed her hand and led her into the living room. Once they were in the living room, Taylor snatched her hand away from his and stepped away him.

"Troy!"

"What, you can't fault me for wanting to fix us…to fix our relationship. Now I know I upset you and I'm so sorry I did. But you have to understand I didn't keep that secret to hurt. At the time I thought I was a helping a friend and I really wanted to him. Chad at the time told me he was going to tell Gabby. He just needed time to figure out how. I mean you have to admit it is a dangerous situation. Gabriella and him were engaged and she was also pregnant with his baby."

"Are you making excuses for him?"

"No…I'm just explaining you the situation from my point of view." He said with a shrug. "That's another reason why I kept his secret…I sort of put myself in his place."

"Oh so you thought about what would happen if you cheated on me?" Troy sent her a pointed look and shook his head.

"No, I just imagine what it would be like to lose you and then the children…the imaginary pain I felt at just imagining that was to much, so I decided to help him. However I didn't really expect you to find out that I knew…I wasn't going to stay anything, I was going to let Chad tell that secret after all he was the one that made it." Taylor looked up at him and slowly nodded her head.

"I guess I can understand that."

"You guess? Baby I can't take another night without you in my arms. You belong in them baby, and I can't handle another night of being alone." He lifted a hand and tilted her chin up so that she was looking at him. "And do you mean to tell me that last night didn't affect you." When she didn't answer he continued. "Do you mean to tell me that you didn't miss being in my arms as much as I missed holding you in them"

"Yes."

"Yes what?" he asked quickly, she looked at him and then sighed.

"Yes I missed being in your arms and I did miss you last night but I was upset."

"And you had every right to be but baby…we love one another and I will never I repeat never do something like that to you again as long as I'm living alright." He said as he pulled her into his arms hugging her tightly. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist as well, allowing him to hold her just as tightly. "So does this mean you forgive me?"

"I guess." She replied with a chuckle, he smiled as well, and wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed the top of her head.

"I love you so much."

"I know…and I love you." She whispered back, "So let this be a lesson to you Troy Anthony Bolton…you can not keep secrets from me." He looked down at her and winked.

"Yes ma'am." He said as he bent slightly and hoisted her up in his arms. She giggled as he lifted her up. "Now how about we make up for lost time and work on baby number…five." He said with a chuckle. Taylor smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck and then said.

"Baby number five huh…you really want another baby so soon."

"We're still young…," he said wiggling his eyebrows, besides I know you want to work on another girl."

"If we have another girl I hope she clings to you like Jaxon does to me…it's only fair." Troy smiled and walked over to the steps.

"Well if you want to exact that type of revenge on me, I guess we better get started on the process, cause I heard it takes a long nine months before a wish like that gets here."

"You are so stupid." Taylor exclaimed laughing at the way Troy was looking at her. Together they bounded up the stairs two at a time. Once they entered the room, Troy sat Taylor on the bed, and stood up and started taking his clothing off. He started with his tie and slipped it off and then wrapped it around Taylor's neck and gently pulled her to him and gave her a kiss, as he moved his lips down to her neck. He whispered.

"How about you take off my shirt?"

"Only if you take mine off." Taylor countered as she started unbuttoning his shirt immediately, he started as well, but slipped his hands up the back of her shirt so he could undo her bra as well, a task that Troy had mastered years before during the earlier stages of their relationship. Once their shirts were off, Troy took a step back and looked her over with a dashing smile on his face.

"And whoever said the passion was gone once you got married was dead wrong…damn baby you look sexy as hell." He said as he walked over to her and kissed her again as he rubbed his hands up and down her side. Taylor returned the gesture feeling her way up and down his sculptured chest until her hands ended up behind his neck.

"You look good too, baby." She whispered as she stood on her tiptoes and gave him a passionate kiss. "Promise me we'll never fight again."

"I can't promise you that, baby…but I sure am going to try and not let it happen again." He said as they tumbled onto the bed. Troy landed on his back, with Taylor straddling him; she smiled down at him and then leaned down and kissed him.

"We should do this more often."

"My thoughts exactly." He murmured as he kissed her again, as he rolled them over, giving her one last kiss he sat up on his knees and moved to unbutton her pants but stopped and then stood up. Taylor laid on the bed panting as she watched him. Troy stood up and shed his clothing and then looked down at her. After he had shed his clothing he crawled back onto the bed and then bent down and placed a kissed just above where her pants stopped. He reached up and unbuttoned the pants pulled the zipper down with teeth, and as he revealed more and more of her panties he placed gently kissed there which caused Taylor to gasp and reached out for him. Once her pants were off, he repeated the process while removing her panties. Once they were off he settled himself between her legs and kissed her lips and then moved down to her neck while pushing forward. Taylor clasped her arms and legs around him while Troy started a gentle rhythm that both of them could enjoy. "I love you so much, baby." He murmured as he lifted himself up slightly so he could look down at her, she smiled up at him while pulling him back down so she could still another kiss.

"I love you too." She whispered back as she hung onto him, while Troy buried his face into the nape of her neck. Soon he groaned and clutched her tightly, and the collapsed and rolled onto his side pulling her with him. Taylor rested her head on his chest while Troy placed soft kissed in her hair. Soon both of them fell asleep, with Troy's arms wrapped tightly around Taylor and with Taylor resting comfortably in them.
