Stolen Innocence and Lost Voice
Troy's Pov:
The months had flown by. My Gabi was now in her 8th month of pregnancy. A lot of stuff has happened since then. For started, the last time we went to the doctor, we were able to find out the sex of the baby. We had decided during month five that we wanted it to be kept a surprise. It was also that month when I felt my child kick for the first time. That day was one of my favorites.
Flashback
Gabi and I were situated in the living room of Sharpay's house. They had invited us along for a movie night.
While I was watching the movie intently, I felt someone grab my hand. Looking down, I realized it was Gabi.
Babe, what are doing?" I asked while she lifted up my hand.
"Shh," she told me as she placed her hand on her stomach while holding one finger up signaling one minute. Feeling a light tap on her stomach my mouth dropped.
"Is that?" she didn't give me a chance to finish, instead she nodded her head. I couldn't believe that was my child. Oh excuse me, our child. We create this human being. Giving her a light kiss on the lips she turned her attention back to the movie.
End of Flash Back
I also remember that whole night I couldn't keep my hands off of her stomach just incase the baby kicked again, which it did multiple times throughout the night. I also distinctly remember falling to sleep with both hands on her stomach instead of one.
Sadly, there were no interactions between Gabi and her mother. Luckily Eric didn't come across us again. I guess he learned his lesson.
Let's see, what else can I tell you? Brie is doing well with the pregnancy, although she complains about being huge everyday. In my eyes though, she is the most beautiful woman in the world. Even when she is pregnant and dressed in one of my t-shirts, she still manages to look like a million dollars.
So right now I am sitting by the fire while my lovely girlfriend is reading a book. I'm not going to tell her until the book is completed, but I have bought a book of our baby's firsts. So far the only thing that is filled out is the pregnancy part of course, like first kick in mommy's tummy.
I can't wait to see her face when the baby book is completed. Now, the trick is to find a really good hiding spot, which is hard, because while I am working Gabriella seems to get herself into anything in the house to keep her occupied. One day I came home from work and my pants drawer was reorganized in color order.
Sorry, I think I might be getting ahead of myself. You all are probably asking yourself what job? Well I recently got a job working for Zeke in a bakery. It pays pretty well considering I am a friend of his and he owns it.
Noticing that Gabi was starting to stir I looked up at her and was met with her smiling face. "Hey baby, done with your book?" resting her book down, she came over to me and sat on my lap. She was tiny to begin with, so even with the pregnancy I am still able to hold both her and my unborn child.
"Yea, I'm bored now." she pouted. God she can get me to do almost anything with that face.
"Well what do you want to do?" she gave a mischievous grin. What did I get myself into?
"Well, I was thinking, we haven't really picked out baby names, and we do have a book upstairs." It was true; we haven't even opened the book.
"Lead the way." She got up from her spot on my lap, with a little help from me since she has trouble getting up, and started off up the stairs. I laughed at her eagerness.
Joining her on the bed, she curled up next to me and opened the book. "What do you want to start with first?" I asked her. "The book starts with boy names, so I guess boys." Agreeing with her, we scanned the first page. "What do you think about Michael Troy Bolton?" I was shocked. I didn't expect her to use my name. "I love that name, but are you sure you want my name to be the middle one?" "Yea, I love your name, plus I think it's cute." I nodded as we continued to scan the page.
Not seeing any other names we liked, we continued onto girls names.
"How about Katie?" I asked.
"There's nothing special about it."
"You're right." My eyes darted back to the page.
"Ohh I know, Aubrey Rose!" she sounded excited, but I wasn't sure if that was the best name. "I love that name, but I don't want to confuse people when I use the nickname Brie. It could be you I am calling, or her." She opted to change her name, but I laughed and said no. "It would be cute for the mother and daughter to have the same nickname though." She smiled and nodded.
We had searched over 1000 names for both a boy and a girl.
"It doesn't have to be decided tonight." She agreed closing the baby naming book.
"Tomorrow I think we should go baby shopping."
"Ok, but I don't want you to over exert yourself. Your eight months pregnant. Having too much stress can cause early labor." I explained to her while rubbing her stomach.
"You've been reading my pregnancy books, haven't you?" Ah she caught me.
"Hey, is it my fault that I like to know what's going on with the pregnancy, what to expect, and what is happening to your body?" Feeling the baby kick I smiled. No matter how many times the baby kicked, it would never get old.
"No, and that's why I love you." She kissed my nose and shifted herself under the covers. I too got under the covers and drifted off to sleep dreaming about how great my life was going to be. Not, that it isn't amazing already, but I think a baby will complete my life.
The next morning, we walked downstairs and found a note on the kitchen table. I read it out loud, "At work, be back later. Take good care of Gabi, Troy. Gabi, make sure Troy is being good to you. Love dad and mom." She gave a sad smile hearing those words. Not wanting to upset her, I acted as if nothing happened.
We quickly ate breakfast, got dressed, and started off in the car. "Where do you want to go first?" I asked while keeping my eyes on the road. "Let's go to Babies R Us. (a/n don't own.) They have some pretty nice things." Agreeing with her, I drove over there.
Walking through the doors we were immediately met with all baby items, including a lot of pregnant mothers. We started in the bath section picking out neutral colors such as light blues and yellows.
Half an hour into later we had managed to pick out a baby bath, blankets, toys, pacifiers, socks, bibs, diapers, and clothes.
Rolling our cart to the milk and bottle section I stopped the wagon and turned to her.
"We never decided if you should nurse her or feed her by bottle." I wanted to do whatever Gabi was comfortable with.
"Well with nursing the baby will get a lot of nutrients, but I'm sure you would want to feed too. Why don't we start off for the first week nursing, then we can eventually do both." That was a great idea. I hadn't even though of that. Gabi reached out for two baby bottles and put them in the car.
Since we had a sufficient amount of items and because I didn't want to over exert her we decided to pay and then go straight home.
As soon as we got home, we were comforted with the wonderful smell of dinner. Gabi and I greeted our parents and took a seat at the table.
"I'm so hungry!" I head Brie explain while giving a big sigh.
"Good that means the baby is growing." My mom smiled down at her and set the food on the table. I saw her immediately dig in. I couldn't wait to see my baby. To be able to hold that little person in my arms knowing that it depended on us. I know Gabi couldn't wait either. She wanted to be done with the pregnancy already. It was causing her back pain from not being used to carrying, well how do I put it, that big of a package on her stomach. Every time she would complain that she was in pain I would always stop whatever I was doing and give her a back massage in hopes to relieve her from any pain that she had. It helped her a lot when she was in complete distress.
As we finished our meal, all four of us, well five including baby Bolton, retired to the living room. "My back hurts." She complained while lying down on the couch. And once again I was off to rescue my damsel in distress.
I hope you liked it and that it wasn't too boring, but I needed a filler chapter. Have any ideas on names? REVIEW!!
