Disclaimer: no hey there delilah in this one...lol, it'll be mentioned in the next one though.
Rating: T, miled, okay, like one bad word...
Four and a half weeks later, we find things exactly how they were in the beginning.
Every morning, Gabriella woke up to find the spot in the bed next to her empty.
She would get Faith, and make breakfast. Then play with Faith, give Faith a nap, and check her email.
Then, Austin would come home; they would eat a quiet dinner, and go to bed, just to start the whole thing over again.
So, it was no surprise when this morning, started out the same way.
Gabriella awoke tiredly.
She was so tired, even after going to bed at ten thirty.
She glanced at the clock, "10:30 A.M."
Gabriella yawned, and her whole body ached.
She felt her forehead with the palm of her hand.
" I do feel a little warm. I must be coming down with something."
Gabriella sat up, and her stomach flipped.
" Great. The flu…just what I need now."
Gabriella sat for a moment, breathing in and out.
Then she went to stand.
She found out the hard way that her balance was thrown off, she unsteadily walked into the bathroom.
She peered into the mirror, " I do look kind of pale."
Gabriella brushed her hair and threw on some sweat pants and a t-shirt.
" I hope I don't get Faith sick."Gabriella sighed as she walked, very slowly, out of her bathroom, and bedroom, across the hall, and into Faith's room.
Gabriella looked over the crib at the blue eyed brown haired little girl.
Faith's blue eyes lit up at the sight of her mom, and she smiled.
Gabriella smiled back.
" Good morning Faithers!" She said as enthusiastically as she could.
She reached in and struggled to lift the infant.
Gabriella picked her up anyways, and carefully went down the stairs into the empty kitchen.
She sat Faith down in a high chair, and turned on the TV.
Gabriella's energy was drained.
And she had only been up for twenty minutes.
" I'm so tired." She thought to herself as she opened a jar of baby pears.
Gabriella sat down, and fed Faith her breakfast.
Once the pears were gone, and Faith was cleaned up, Gabriella turned off the TV, and went into the living room.
She laid Faith in her kick and play, and put in a Baby Mozart DVD.
Faith looked content kicking the dangling shapes, so Gabriella quickly got her laptop from the office.
Trotting down the stairs nearly took all the breath out of Gabriella.
" Maybe I'm just getting old…" The barely twenty-two year old thought.
She sat lazily on the couch and booted up the computer.
While she waited for the screen to load, Gabriella rested her head backwards on the arm of the sofa.
" Gosh...my head hurts so bad...and i'm tired...and i feel sick to my stomah..."
The beep of the computer signaled to Gabriella that the screen was indeed loaded.
Gabriella opened her eyes slowly and clicked on the mail shortcut.
Of course, Taylor had written her back.
Gabby,
So…yeah, today, Chad got mad at our marriage counselor…let's just say, never tell Chad that some things are more important than basketball…needless to say, I don't think we'll be returning to that counselor.
Anywho, how are you? And Faith? Oh! Just a heads up, Sharpay and Zeke thought of a totally cute name! Are you ready? Ok, so you know they have Colette Elise, well, Colette's new little sister's going to be named Camille Larue!
Isn't it just cute? Lol, I mean…it's kinda weird, but…it works! Say it like, 3 times, Colette and Camille Baylor…it flows…lol.
Anyways, I've got to go, I think Mason's eating one of Chad's shoes…Love ya!
-Taylor.
Gabriella smiled.
" Camille…that's pretty."
Gabriella looked at her own daughter, who was trying desperately to stick the whole hanging square into her mouth.
Gabriella giggled.
" Faith! What are you doing?" She said as she playfully sat on the ground and pulled the square out of her daughter's mouth.
She replaced it with a duck shaped teething ring.
Gabriella smiled as she gently caressed her daughter's forehead.
Suddenly, Gabriella got a nauseating chill.
She stood quickly, as the color drained from her face, and quickly ran into the nearest bathroom.
She burst through the door, and quickly lifted up the toilet seat.
She knelt over the toilet, and painfully emptied her stomach contents.
Once she finally felt like there was nothing else to throw up, Gabriella slowly stood and walked over to the sink.
She let the cold water run over her hands and gently patted her face.
" Damn flu."
