Chapter 3

Gabriella's POV

I hadn't talked to Troy since I told him the news. I was worried that we weren't going to be able to work this out. I mean, come on, after everything we've been through, did we really have a chance. I didn't think so. But boy, I wish I had. There had been so many changes recently. I was sitting on my bed, typing on my laptop, when my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number, so I answered kind of slowly.

"Hello?" I said as I picked up the phone.

"Gabbi?" It was Troy

"Um, Hi, how are you?" I was kind of scared of how he was going to react about everything.

"Hey, can I come over? I have something for you." Troy said

I had perked up by this time.

"Um, yeah, sure." I said

He hung up without replying. I hung up my phone, and jumped in the shower. I got out and decided on a brown tank with a pair of Levi's and flip-flops. I was just about to grab a drink when the door bell rang. I opened it, and there stood Troy.

"Uh, hi!" I said, and opened the door wider for him to come in. He looked as nervous as I felt.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Troy asked me

"Tired, but happy all around I guess."

"Listen, can you go out for a couple of hours?" Troy asked me

"Out where? As in a date?" I asked suspiciously

"Only if you want to think of it in that way." He replied with the same glint in his eye he had on the night we met 4 years ago at that Ski lodge.

We grabbed our coats, and I locked the door. We got in his car, and off we went.

"So, what brought this little, night, on?" I asked Troy.

"After everything, I figured you needed a break." Troy replied

Ok, now I know this is going to sound a little corny, but come on. Troy, and I, both figured this would've never happened. We both thought that we were never going to see each other after our good byes. We never thought in a million years that we'd be here tonight.

"So, uh, what are you going to do?" Troy asked

"About the baby?" I asked, even though I knew the answer

"Um, yeah. I mean, I want to know what you want to do, so I can help as much as possible." Troy replied

"Well, I want to keep her. She's the only piece of my life that makes me happy nowadays, and I just can't give that away." I replied

Troy's POV

"Well, I want to be apart of her life." I said.

Gabbi looked shocked. I looked at her and waited for a response.

"I want to be there Gabbi. I want her to know that I do love her, no matter how she came about." I said.

"Alright, now, what about her last name?" Gabbi asked

"What about it?" I replied

"Whose is it going to be?" Gabbi asked

"Well, it depends on what you want." I said. I really meant it too.

"Well, what about Bolton-Montez?"

"Works for me." I said
