Chapter 9
I looked out to the ocean as I continued to jog along the shore, barefoot. I loved going running in the morning, nobody was on the beach and it was nice and cool for a good run. I had been back for 4 weeks now, me and Gabriella hadn't argued since we had that massive one. We were doing well.
Once I finished my jog, I sat in the sand outside Gabriella's brother's house and cooled down before knocking on the door. Gabs brother, Felix was 21 and was really when he found out Gabriella would be living with him.
I got up and went to knock on the front door of the beach house, a few seconds later the door swung open to reveal Felix.
"Hey man," Felix greeted.
"Hey," We did a man handshake before he let me in. "Is Gabs in?" I asked, rubbing my hands together.
"Yeah, she's in the living room. Make your self at home," Felix said, smiling and waked into the kitchen. I walked into the living room and snuck up behind the couch, wrapping my arms around Gabriella's neck.
"Hey sweetie," I smiled, kissing the back of her head.
"Hey," She replied, lacing one of her hand with mine on her collarbone.
I jumped over the back of the couch, putting my arm on the back of the couch and looked to see what she was doing. "Whatcha doing?"
"Making a list for what we need to get for the baby," Gabs looked up at me and I nodded, smiling at my 20 week pregnant girl.
"Hmm. Let me help," I grinned "it's a Saturday so I have work at 6 so I can stay 'til like 5,"
"Yay," She squealed.
I chuckled and looked at the list on the laptop so far it had:
Clothes, Nappies
"You have a lot there, babe," I chuckled.
"Shh," She giggled.
"Okay how about we list everything and then look for them on the internet and order them ready?" I suggested.
"Yeah then it's out of the way," She shrugged "But we are going shopping for clothes,"
"Okay," I laughed "Oh before we started has Sharpay or your mom been in contact since that day?" I asked, rubbing her shoulder.
Gabs bit her lip and shook her head "No,"
I closed my eyes briefly, scratching the back of my neck, I was referring to the day about 2 weeks ago, Sharpay and her mom came knocking on Felix's door and started to shout at Gabriella and tell her she was making a huge mistake and they never want anything to do with her and since that day people at school have being weird with Gabriella the only reason they haven't said anything to her is because I'm with her. They know I'll say something back and fight back. Gabs only has a month left at school anyway then she'll have maternity leave from school.
"Back on a happy note. Let's search for the baby," I smiled, kissing her temple.
"Actually babe, can we look at clothes?" Gabriella asked, closing the list down and loading up the internet.
"Yeah sure. Hey, I was wondering do you want to know what we're having?" I asked, twirling her hair with my fingers.
"Yeah I do because then we can make the room like for a boy or girl," Gabriella answered.
"Hmm," I agreed "I think we should find out and the next appointment which'll be week 20," My other hand came up to graze her stomach.
Gabs squealed and a big smile lit up her face as she nodded quickly but pointed to something on the laptop screen. I looked and blushed slightly.
"Aw," Gabs cooed.
It was a little white onsie and it said I love my daddy on the front of it. "It's have to have one for it's mommy too,"
She bit her lip "I can't wait to go shopping for the baby,"
"Well when we know if it's gonna be a boy or girl, you and my mom can go shopping while I'm at school," I said, stroking her stomach and laying my other arm back on the back of the couch.
She nodded quickly "It'll give me something to do considering you won't let me go to school after I'm 6 months," Gabs glared at me.
"No I won't. The doctor said that because your young and this is your first baby you need to take it easy and make sure your under no stress and at all. So I'm being the good boyfriend and making sure you do those thing," I said, firmly, my eyebrows raised.
"You suck. Stuff looking for the baby I have 3 whole months of do nothing to do that. Let's go to the beach," Gabriella quickly said so it all turned into my sentence and shut down the laptop.
I chuckled and stood up, holding out my hands to which she grabbed and I helped her up. "Go get your swim stuff on," I whispered, tapping her butt and watching her walk away from me. I never expected to think a pregnant women was hot but Gabriella looks so much hotter than she did 5 months ago, I think it has something to do with her carrying my child.
"You know, you look kinda crazy staring at a wall," Felix said, leaning against the door frame of the kitchen smirking.
I chuckled "Just thinking," I sat back down on the couch.
"So have you two made arrangements for when the baby comes?" He asked, sitting on the arm chair.
I shook my head "No, not yet," I said, looking around the big beach house. "I haven't spoken to my parents about it. I've barely seen them the last month,"
Felix nodded "You staying here tonight, dude?"
"No, I've got work until 10 and then I'm spending the night at mine, catching up with my brother's and parents. Ollie's come back for 2 days today, as well," I told him.
"I'm ready, let's go," I heard Gabs sing as she walked in wearing a string bikini and a short light dress over the top.
"You guys going to the beach?" Felix asked, looking at Gabs.
"Yeah, it's surprisingly hot for February," Gabriella said.
"Well we better go then," I smiled and stood up. We said bye to Felix and walked out of the back door straight onto the beach. I lay down two towels, which Gabs brought down, in a not very crowd space near the house.
"Hey, last night I was doing some research about the baby and stuff. It said that you should be able to feel him kick lightly at 20 weeks," I said before pulling off my t-shirt and laying it behind my head. I turned on my side to look at Gabriella.
"Yeah?" She asked and I nodded "That's scary,"
"It's amazing," I corrected "Totally terrifying but amazing," I chuckled. "You taking that dress off, babe?" I asked.
She shook her head "I'm huge," She mumbled.
"Baby," I cooed "You remember what my mom told you?" I asked and she shook her head "About me being a big baby? And her bump being the same size if not bigger? Your not even that big, baby. Your 18 weeks," I told her, playing with the edge of her dress.
"2 days off 19 weeks," Gabriella corrected.
"Yeah okay," I rolled my eyes, smiling. "Please just don't be self conscious, your beautiful," I mumbled, edging closer to her and drape an arm over her stomach.
My bottom lip popped out before she sat up and pulled the dress over her head and lay back down. "Happy?"
"Very," I smiled, kissing her slowly. Once I pulled back, my hand gently stroked her bump which was quite big for almost 19 weeks but in my eyes she was still beautiful.
"What are you smiling about?" Gabs asked, raising an hand and running it through the little hairs on the back of my neck.
"You," I smiled, nudging my nose against her's before kissing it and she giggled cutely.
"Cheesy," She rolled up eyes.
"Shh," I chuckled "Cheeky," I got up and stretched. I could feel Gabriella's eyes on me. I looked down and saw her looking at me, biting her bottom lip. "Checking me out, Montez?" I smiled, reaching out for her hands.
"Hmm," She agreed, subtly "Your know I love your body," She laughed, taking my big hands in her little ones.
I grinned and winked "You love my arms, babe. You should see how your cling onto them when your about to c-," I got cut off with a slap on the chest.
"Troy, shut up," Gabriella said angrily.
Hormones, I groaned "I'm sorry baby," I said, pulling her closer to me and kissing her hair.
"Your right though, I do love your arms," And she's back.
"Hmm, I love your butt," I chuckled "Wait no, your legs," I nodded "No, your bump… actually your shoulders and neck. No," I sighed, dramatically. "I love all of you," I chuckled, wrapping my arm around her shoulders, walking her down the beach to the water.
Gabriella laughed and put her arm across her stomach. I frowned but let her do what's comfortable for her.
Once we got near the water and quickly picked her up, her legs automatically wrapping round my waist. I squeezed her butt.
"Bolton," Gabriella scolded as I backed her into the water.
"Yes, Montez and little Bolton?" I grinned "Who are we naming the baby after anyways?" I asked, I bit my lip and kept walking until I was waist deep in the sea, it we just on Gabriella's boobs for her.
"Bolton," She confirmed, nodding.
"So got any names baby?" I asked after dunking my head in the water and running my hand through it.
"Hmmm, for a girl: Miah, Brooklyn and for a boy: Liam, Cooper, Carter, Cole and Tyler," Gabriella blushed and jumped a little so her legs wrapped around my waist and her arms around my neck.
I crouched down a little so the water went up to my neck "I like Miah and Liam, Tyler and Cooper," I said, lifting a hand to brush her hair away from her face. "Well mine for a girl are Mackenzie and Khloe then for a boy I have: Xavier and Logan," I told her.
"Ooo, I like Khloe and Xavier," Gabriella said, pouting a little and her eyes stared off and I knew she was thinking.
"How about we decide or atleast think of other names when we know the sex?" I suggested, shrugging. Her hands came to rest on the back of my shoulders, my muscles tensed and then relaxed.
"I think that's a good idea," Gabriella smirked and kissed me quickly.
I hugged her closed to me and pressed a kiss to her neck "I love you," I mumbled.
"Love you too," She replied and kissed where her mouth lay, on my ear.
"I also love our little one in there," I grinned.
Gabriella gasped and stiffened. I frowned and looked at her face for any pain and it just showed shock.
"I think I feel the baby moving, like little flutter," Gabriella explained before looking into my eyes.
"That's amazing," I grinned and kissed her for a few seconds, stroking her stomach. I pouted "When will it kick?"
"I'm not sure, your the one doing the research," Gabrielal mocked and laughed at my fake shocked expression.
"Well when ever it happens tell me because I wanna feel my baby," I smiled and gently poked her belly and she wiggled.
"Yes, boss," She smirked before untangling herself from my and then swimming away.
"Oy you, come back here," I shouted, swimming after her. Smiling, hearing her laugh.
