Troy's POV
A few days later, Gabbi was released from the hospital. The Doc put her on strict bed rest. They determined the cause of her losing consciousness was the fall. They had checked her pH balance, and that was a little low. Another word, dehydrated. She wasn't aware of the fact that she hadn't had a drink of water in awhile. We got home, and got her settled in the bedroom.
"Gabbi, I have a surprise for you." I told her
"What's that?" Gabbi replied, playfully
"Close your eyes." I told her. She did so. I went in the other room, and grabbed a box. I went back in the bedroom, and placed the box on the bed.
"Ok, open up!" I said. Again, she did so. She looked blankly at the box.
"I meant literally, open it!" I said. She did. Her face lit up like a little kid on Christmas day.
"A puppy! Oh my goodness Troy! Why?" Gabbi exclaimed
"A little pick me up gift for you. It's a shiatsu-lab. A mutt. It was so cute though!" I explained to her.
"Oh Troy, it's perfect! Thank you so much!" Gabbi said
I realized I hadn't told my mom and dad yet.
"Um, Gabbi? Will you be ok for a little while?" I asked her
"Yeah, why?" She asked
"Because I haven't told my parents yet, and I need to do it now before I lose my courage." I told her
"Hey, why don't you call them over here, and we'll tell them together." Gabbi suggested
"Um, ok. Hang on." I said, as I took out my phone. I dialed my mom's phone number, and waited for her to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Hey mom, it's Troy. Um, do you think you could call dad, and meet me and Gabbi here after you guys are done with work?" I asked her
"Um, yeah, sure, no problem. We'll be there around 4:00pm, ok?" my mom replied
"Ok, see you then." I said and hung up. I looked at Gabbi
"Troy, what's the matter?"
