Chapter 12
"Hello," I whispered, huskily into my girlfriends ear, wrapping my arms around her from behind.
Gabriella tensed and then relaxed in my arms when she realized it was me who had their arms around her soft wet body.
"Hey," She breathed, bending over to grab a white fluffy towel and wrapped around her gorgeous frame.
"You ready for today?" I asked, stroking her cheek lightly, pulling her too me by her hips with my other hand, her 22 week bump hitting me in the stomach gently.
"Yeah," Gabriella murmured "Just what is your family gonna think of me? I'm some whore who sleeps around and gets pregnant," Gabriella pouted and leant forward, resting her forehead on my chest, my hand coming up to rub the back of her head.
"They won't, your with me and they know how fussy I am when it comes to girls. You've met them before, babe. Your just pregnant this time," I smiled, kissing the top of her head. "Yeah?"
"Mhm," She giggled as she tried to lift her head but I smirked and held her head to my body. "Baby," She whined, laughing.
"That's my girl," I whispered, hugging her close to me, my arms wrapped around her waist. Gabriella suddenly gasped and looked up at me, my eyes wide.
"You felt that?" Gabs whispered, moving one hand from my shoulder to her stomach.
"Yeah, geez. That's a hard kick," I said, putting my hand on her stomach and rubbing my thumb on it to feel a hard kick against my palm again. "Wow, he's strong," I smiled.
"Ouch," Gabriella said, rubbing her belly "That was sharp," She laughed.
I bit my lip before kissing Gabs a couple of times "Come on, We need to be at mine in 15 minutes," I kissed her on her parts lips once more before, going to lay on my bed.
"Is it fancy or casual?" Gabriella asked, turning her head to face me for a second.
"Casual, babe," I said, gesturing to my polo shirt and straight leg jeans and converse.
"Right," She said, biting her lip making weird little noises. "You know, I read that the baby can hear you voice better than mine because it's deeper," Gabriella randomly said pulling out a simple elbow length dress which came to just above her knees.
"Yeah?" I asked, watching her as she walking to her underwear draw and pulled out a supportive bra with a pair of silk and lace boy shorts.
"Mhm, it's good to talk to him as well so says the internet anyway," She shrugged letting her towel drop, her back to me and she pulled on the underwear, my eyes taking in every bit of bare skin they could.
I chuckled "I think I talk to your tummy more than you now," I grinned watching her pull the dress on and turn to face me, adjusting it.
"You do," She exclaimed "Remember the time your mom and Dylan walk into the living room you were there talking to my belly?" Gabs giggled.
I laughed, nodding, recalling the day. It had been a couple of days after she started to show that I spoke to her belly for atleast 2 hours, just looking, talking, stroking and kissing it. "I can't wait to see him,"
"Me either," Gabriella smiled and stroked a hand over her stomach before turning to her mirror and brushing her almost jet black hair that went down to her bra strap. It had dried slightly in soft curls.
"It'll have time to dry, let's go," I said, getting up off the bed.
"Make-up," She said, raising her foundation.
I sighed and shook my head "No foundation,"
"Troy," Gabriella whined as I took it off her.
"Nuh-uh. I don't want foundation on me after I kiss you for a little to longer, especially with my boy cousins coming," I said, shivering but smirking at her so she knew I was joking.
"You saying I where that much make-up?" Her eyebrow shot up.
"No, no, no, no," I quickly said, scared that I started off one of her mood swings. She giggled knowing I was worrying, I shook my head, smiling. "Your beautiful, just mascara, that's all I'm allowing. Oh and that lip gloss, I like, the one that tastes really good," I added as an thought "You know what I'm on about?" Gabriella just laughed before putting on her make-up quickly and slip on her TOM'S.

Me and Gabs walked through the door of my house, my hand on the small of her back very gently. I kissed the shell of her ear before shouting to my parents that I was back and then when I walked inside my legs were attacked by little people and my top half attacked by bigger people. I chuckled and tried to pried them off me. "Hi," I laughed. The people on the top half pulled back and I saw my aunts and uncles and girl cousins, the guys sitting on the couch. "Hey everyone," I laughed, looking behind me to see Gabriella standing by the door. "Come here," I whispered, holding out my hand out for her which she took. "You've met Gabriella before, right?" I asked and everyone one way or another said 'yes'. "Well then this is my son," I smiled, pointing Gabriella's swollen belly. My aunts and cousins started to talk to Gabriella about her pregnancy and all that. I sat down on the floor with my boy cousins, only one little kid still attached to my leg.
"Hey buddy," I smiled, lifting the 5 year old onto my lap.
His little arms wrapped around my neck, hugging me "Troy, Troy, Troy," Jamie chanted in my ear. I chuckled and pried his arms off me.
"How are you then, little guy?" I asked, giving him my hands because I knew he loved to play with fingers, weird like Gabriella. His whole fist grabbed onto my thumbs and he swayed forwards and backwards.
"Good," He grinned, cheekily with his Bolton blue eyes. All the boys in the family had really blue eyes and all the girls in the family have hazel eyes. It's kinda creepy.
I smiled at my cousin before looking at the guys who were also my cousins. There ages varied from 16-20 minus the little ones. "Hey guys," I said.
"Hey dude, Gabi looks good," My eldest cousin, who's 23 said from behind me.
I tilted my head back and nodded at him. "Yeah she does," I chuckled and he pushed my head forward and I looked at the boys again.
"So Chad tells me your going to UCLA now," My 19 year old cousin, Ant said.
"Yeah, when have you spoke to him?" I asked as Jamie continued to play with my thumbs and kissed his forehead.
"Saw him this morning going for a run past here and had a chat with him. He also tells me Gabriella's like 21 weeks pregnant," Ant said, nodding towards Gabriella who was laughing with the girls.
"22," I corrected, smiling "But yeah I'm going to UCLA, full board," I told him.
"Soccer?"
"Of course," I laughed. "You guys staying in Arizona?" I asked and most of them nodded. Arizona is where I am originally from but I moved to Cali when I was 14 for high school.
"So tells us more about Gabriella," 16 year old, Kyle said, grinning. He was like a second Dylan, literally.
"You haven't met her before?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at my younger cousin.
"Nope," He shook his head and pushed my shoulder "So?"
"Ermm okay. She's 22 weeks pregnant with my son, she can speak Spanish, fluently," Jamie's arms wrapped around my neck again and my arms went around his little body. "She'll be in her senior year when I go to UCLA. We've been dating for 2 years and we're expecting on the 8th July," I said the basics and looked down at Jamie who was playing with my t-shirt, my eyes closed.
"Spanish, really?" Kyle asked, all high pitch. We all laughed at him which caused the 16 year old to blush.
"Yeah," I looked over to Gabriella to see that they were all looking at me and I blushed slightly, mouthing a 'what' to Gabs who grinned, shaking her head. I rolled my eyes at my girlfriend's behaviour. "Babe, come here," I beckoned. She shared a few more words with the girls before getting up and walking over to him, sitting neck to me. She tucked her legs underneath her. Jamie's eyes now on Gabs.
"Hey," She smiled and stroked the little boys cheek with her index finger and he smiled, hiding his face in my neck while sucking his thumb. "What did you want?" Gabriella asked me.
"Speak some Spanish," I said, simply and she shook her head. "Please? Kyle doesn't believe me," Kyle raised his hand slightly.
"Hey, I'm Kyle. Troy's favourite cousin," Kyle smirked, looking at me. I scoffed and pushing his chest.
"No boyo," I shook my head. "Please just do it,"
"Fine," She sighed "usted ha conseguido ya me embarazada y ahora me estás ordenando a hablar español, como un agujero del culo, pero te quiero. ¿Está bien, ¿no? bueno," Gabriella blushed "Happy?" She asked me.
I licked my lips and times when she spoke to me in Spanish when we were having sex flashing past my head quickly "Yep," I smiled, leaning forward to peck her glossy lips. "Now what were you talking about over there when you were all looking at me?" I asked, rubbing Jamie's back as I felt his breathing even out and his grip on my neck loosen meaning he was asleep.
"Nos estaban mirando con Jamie y su primo de Amelia, comentó respecto a cómo se va a ser un padre maravilloso cuando nuestro pequeño ha nacido," Gabriella mumbled off in Spanish and it was too cute to stop so I just listened to her, pretending what I knew she was on about.
"English now, please babe," I smirked, chuckling as she smacked the underside of my head.
"Asshole," Gabriella grumbled and then took a deep breath, rubbing her stomach at the top. "So we were watching you with Jamie and your cousin Amelia, commented on how you were going to be an amazing father when our little guy is born," She translated for me, with a little spark in her eyes that made me smile and I fell in love with her all over again.
"Thank you," I whispered, leaning over to gently kiss her lips. I pulled Gabriella into my other side that wasn't occupied by Jamie and rubbed the bottom of Gabs' back with my finger tips. Her head rested on my shoulder.
"Has the crib and everything arrived yet?" I asked, looking down at my beauty in my arms.
"Yeah, they came the other day. I was going to ring you to bring it all in because Felix wasn't in but they brought it into the living room for me. I still need you and Felix to help put it up," Gabriella told me, patting my thigh.
"Yeah of course I will. I asked my dad to help as well. I thought it would be nice, you know?" I said shrugging.
"Father and son, bonding?" Gabriella smiled up at me.
"Yeah," I said, huskily. "Soon I'll be bonding with this little one," I bit my lip and grazed my hand over her stomach, my smile slipped off my face a little "In the summer anyways and then I'll only see you two for 3 days of the week,"
"Hey, I'm visiting you on Monday nights, remember? Then we'll see you again Thursday night," Gabriella smiled "Babe, we've done longer before," She smiled rubbing my firm stomach.
"Yeah, your right," My smile came on my face again "I have like a month with both of you though during summer," I said.
"I have 3 months off after he's born. I do 2 online classes at night. Plus the first 2 months of school isn't important. So I can come down anytime with him," Gabriella suggested, smiling.
"Maybe even stay a week with me once I get settled in? UCLA loves me already so I'm sure it would be fine," I said, chuckling, squeezing her waist very lightly.
"It's sorted then, once your settled in. I'll come down for a week," Gabriella's face lit up and I kissed her forehead.
"Oy, lovebirds. Speak to us too. We only see you about twice a year," My uncle Tony exclaimed. Everybody laughed at him and Jamie woke up, holding onto me.
"Troy I'm hungry," Jamie mumbled and bit on his fist slightly before rubbing his tummy.
"Okay, Let's go find you something to eat," I said, looking down at my cousin who I consider as a brother. "Coming gorgeous?" I asked, holding out a hand for her.
"Mhm," She nodded, took my hand and got up. We walked into the kitchen where my mom was making a few snacks.
"Hey mom, can Jay have a snack?" I asked, stroking the little boys dark brown hair softly.
"Sure, what do you want honey?" My mom asked her nephew, bending down a little to see his face.
"Cookie," She grinned and held my ear with one hand and reached out his other hand towards my mom who gave him a cookie and he quickly bit into it.
I sat at the kitchen table and watched my mom and Gabriella talk. "What's wrong, sweetie?" My mom asked Gabriella, rubbing her upper back. My mom had been like Gabriella's mom for the past couple of months.
I heard Gabriella sigh "I'm not gonna be a very good mom, am I? I mean look at Troy with Jamie," Gabriella mumbled but I still heard but I pretending I didn't because maybe Gabs needed to have a women to women chat to put all her insecurities away.
"Honey, it is completely different when's it's your own child. It's harder but it's so much more amazing. Troy is calm with Jamie because he's not his father, trust me Troy will freak out and feel like he doesn't know what to do when your son is born but he'll quickly catch on because a mother becomes a mother during the end of the pregnancy. I promise you and Troy will be fine, more than fine. You will be good parents, it's hard but I think you two will do great," My mom said, not taking her eyes off Gabriella for a second. I could see Gabriella nodding throughout,"
"Yeah," Gabs said more confidently "We'll be fine. Thank you so much," Gabriella smiled.
My mom brought her into a hug "No problem sweetheart,"
"Finished," Jamie called out, wiping his mouth. We all looked at Jamie and laughed at his bright eyes and happy and proud expression.
"Nice one, buddy," I said, holding up my hand for a high five and he slapped his palm against mine.
My mom walked into the living room after sending me a nod and motherly wink. I smiled appreciatively and let Jamie down as he went running after my mom. "Come here, baby," I said, opening my arms. Gabriella walked straight to me and sat on my lap "Now I want no more negatively thoughts okay? We're gonna raise a baby and be happy," I kissed her lips "Yeah?" I said against her lips before pulling back.
"Yep," She smiled and hugged me around my neck, my arms muscular arms going around her middle "I love you, you know?" Gabriella whispered against my neck, giving it a little kiss.
"I do and I love you too, baby girl," I smiled, kissing the side of her head.
"Troy?" Gabs asked lazily against my skin, feeling her hot breath on my neck making me shiver slightly
"Yeah?" I asked, rubbing her back.
"Got any cheese and jalapenos?" Gabriella asked, referring to her craving.
I chuckled and tickled her sides, making her squeal slightly.
