Disclaimer: I don't own HSM

December 12th 2013.

"Gabi, how many times do i have to tell you? Bed rest doesn't mean wrapping Christmas presents! Lie down and read a book or something. I will do that!" Troy scolded for the sixth time that weak. Ever since Gabriella's blood pressure and Braxton Hicks scare, Gabriella had supposed to have been on bed rest for the remainder of her pregnancy. Troy was getting tired of reminding her. He loved Gabi, but she didn't take too well to not being in charge. She hated surrendering control and that was just what was happening. Or so Troy thought.

"Troy. I'm not over exerting myself by wrapping a few presents in bed! It won't take me a minute and you already have enough on your plate," Gabriella reminded him.

"If i have to run myself into the ground to protect you and our baby, that is what i will do. Gabi, don't you understand how scared i am that something is going to happen?" Troy said silently.

"Of course i do, but i'm getting more stressed by having this conversation with you, than i am wrapping presents," Gabi knew she had convinced him.

"Urgh! Fine! I give up! Wrap the presents. But only a few!" He warned mockingly before kissing her forehead and returning downstairs to try and convince another person to do as he told them,"Jen! I said bath time twenty minutes ago. What are you doing now?" He asked his daughter as she sat on the sofa with her arms crossed tightly.

"I don't want a bath!" She moaned.

"Do you want to smell?" He asked barely able to stop himself laughing.

"I don't smell!" She insisted.

"You will if you don't have a bath!" He told her.

"No! You can't make me!" She giggled. He began to get frustrated. She was just like her Mother. But this was one fight, Troy was determined to win. He walked over to her and picked her up over his shoulder and began carrying up the stairs,"Daddy, put me down," She giggled again.

"Only if you promise to take a bath," He said happily.

"Okay, Daddy. I'll take a bath!" She laughed before running into her bedroom to get ready for her bath. Twenty minutes later, Troy was dressing his daughter for bed.

"Okay, Jen. Why did you put up a fight to go in the bath tonight?" He asked her as he pulled her nightgown over his head.

"Because Jimmy Stewart said that baths are for weaklins," She said seriously.

"Oh did he? And by any chance does he like to play in dirt and pick worms out the ground?" He asked his daughter.

"Yes, why?"

"Because that's what all four year old boys say. When i was your age, i once refused point blank to have a bath for a week and i locked myself in the shed to play with my Dad's fishing bait. And you know what?" He eyed his daughter.

"What Daddy?"

"I smelt like the worst thing in the world and from that day on, i never refused a bath again. Because baths make you clean, and dirt makes you smell!" He told her. She looked scared. And Troy knew that she wouldn't refuse a bath for a long time to come, "Okay, bed time missy!" She jumped on her bed and squealed as her Daddy tickled her.

"Daddy, stop tickling me!" She giggled.

"What's the secret, tickle stopper?" He asked still tickling her.

"My Daddy is the best, most wonderful Daddy in all the land!" She yelled out.

Troy stopped tickling her and tucked her into bed. He kissed her forehead and said,"Goodnight pumpkin, Daddy loves you,"

"Night Daddy, Jennifer loves you," She said before closing her eyes and falling asleep. Troy stood there and watched his daughter sleeping peacefully. He loved her and couldn't wait until she had a brother or sister to join her. A big family was what Troy wanted and Gabriella by his side. That would be the perfect life.

Troy sighed and went downstairs only to be greeted by Chad and Taylor.

"How did you guys get in?" He asked skeptically.

"Gabriella gave us a key ages ago!" Taylor replied happily.

"So what's up?" Troy asked his friend.

"Tay got hungry so she came for your chocolate ice cream," Chad replied rolling his eyes.

"Go for it, Tay!" Troy told her. The words were barely out of his mouth before she went darting in to the kitchen,"Pregnancy cravings kicking in?"

"Yep! She's been driving me up the wall all day, asking for ridiculous things like beans and ice cream,"

"Shut it Danforth!" Taylor told him angrily.

"Don't get them angry, Chad. They're monsters when they are pregnant," Troy warned.

"And you can shut it too, Bolton!" She scolded.

"Damn, i woke the beast." Troy cried.

"If you know what's good for you Bolton, i swear-" She cut off and carried on eating ice cream.

"Tay, i know you're only three months pregnant, but maybe you could cut the hormones down a notch," Chad warned his wife. She simply shrugged and sat down.

"You know, she's gotten just like my little sister. Pregnancy is a nightmare. I've got Gabriella trying her hardest to do everything the Doctor told her not to do. I've got Katy eating all my food, and Taylor doing both of those and yelling at me!" Troy collapsed on the sofa.

"Troy, dude. Chill out! Katy is only two months pregnant and she will be too busy with her final year at college to annoy you any further. (Katy transferred from NYU to NMU for her final year to be with Ryan who proposed when he found out Katy was pregnant a month ago. Taylor found out she was pregnant in the middle of October. Katy is two months pregnant and Taylor is three) And, Tay. Well i'll keep Taylor out of your way as much as possible," Chad soothed.

"TROOOOOOOOOOOOY!" Gabriella screamed from upstairs. Chad, Troy and Taylor all ran up to Gabriella and were surprised to see her clutching her stomach in agony.

"My water broke Troy, the baby's coming!"
