A/N: Sorry I didn't update yesterday. :( But here's the chapter :D
Gabriella sat down on her bed looking around the small space. Leigh was on the bed next to her babbling about something. She wondered what he was doing. 'Probably still sleeping' She thought. He probably lived in a big malibu mansion, while she lived in a small 500 sqaure foot old tattered shack. She sighed, and looked at the quilt beneath her.
She averted her eyes to the baby next to her, who was still babbling. Leigh was a realitivly happy baby, she only cried when she was hungry or wanted attention. Gabriella looked into Leigh's brown eyes, exactly like her own. She sadly smiled, she didn't know that she wasn't living like a normal baby would. She barley spent anytime with Gabriella. Now they would be spending nights together.
Gabriella pushed herself off of the bed, and looked at the clock. 2:30, she only had thirty minutes tell her 'date' if you could call it that, with Troy. She still had to get ready, get Leigh ready, and drop her off at Nicole's. (The babysitter). She quickly jumped in the shower, and pulled on some jeans. It had been a long time since she had worn jeans. She then pulled on an east high hoodie, and put her hair up in a bun.
She didn't put on any make-up, being as she threw it all away when she had Leigh. She changed Leigh's diaper, and put on a light pink onesie. She also out on some light pink booties, since it was winter. Leigh looked up at her mom, smiling and giggling. Gabriella smiled warmly at the little girl and picked her up. She put her in the stroller and grabbed the diaper bag. She walked out of the shack, closed and locked it up.
She walked for a couple of blocks before arriving at a small but cute house. She walked up the steps and to the door. She knocked gently, but loud enough for someone to hear. A couple of minutes later, a girl in her early twentie's answered. She was smiling brightly.
"Hey Gabs" The girl said.
"Hey Nikki" Gabriella said polietly. "Here's Leigh, everything is in the bag, I'll be back to pick her up in about three hours or so"
"Gabirella, I've been doing this for a month." She chuckled. "Soo...why do you need me to watch her?" She asked being nosy.
"I'm meeting up with a high school friend"
"Ohhh, a guy?" She asked, and Gabriella nodded. "So it's a date?"
"No, he's just a...friend" Gabriella replied and Nicole raised her eyebrow.
"Sure" She said sarcastically.
"Well I got to go" She said. "I love you baby girl, I'll be back soon." She whispered. She waved to Nicole and left the house.
With Troy.
Troy got up off the bed, and walked to the bathroom. He grabbed a towel on the way. He turned on the shower, and hopped in. He let the warm water run all over his body, while humming a soft tune. He was excited but also very nervous. He hadn't seen her since senior year. Now they were twenty-three, and they well she had changed.
He got out of the shower and tied a towel around his waist. He walked into his room, and into his closet. He had to look perfect, he wanted to look good in front of Gabriella. He finally picked out a blue polo and jeans. He pulled them on, and put on some Crome (Mmmmm best colonge everr!). He walked out of his room, and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey Martin" Troy greeted his butler.
"Hello Master Troy." Greeted Martin. "Going somewhere?' He asked curiously.
"Yup" Troy answered happily.
"That's great Master Troy" Martin replied.
"Please feed Hefty, and tell Danielle and Jordan to clean the house." Troy said, but not in a cold tone.
"That'll be done right away sir" Martin replied and walked off. Troy looked at the clock. 2:55, it would take at least five minutes to get there by car.He hopped in his car and drove to Freddie's. He parked the car and put on sunglasses and a baseball cap.
He saw Gabriella sitting at booth in the far corner, he smiled. She never liked being the center of attention. She looked so beautiful, it took my breath away. He walked up to her table, and she looked up and smiled at him. He guessed that his disguse was that easy to see through.
"Hey you" He smiled and she smiled warmly back.
"Hey Troy" She said. and he sat across from her.
"Hello My name is Lenny, and I'll be your server for today, can I intrest you in some drinks?" The waitress asked politley and they nodded.
"Yes please, can I have a coke?" Gabriella asked, while the waitress nodded.
"An Iced Tea please" Troy said.
"Your drinks well be here in a few minutes" The waitress told them and walked off.
"So...did...you're mom..you know?" Troy asked awkwardly.
"Yeah...seven months after we made the move" Gabriella sadly said.
"Oh I'm sorry Gabs" Troy said sincerly.
"It's okay." She began. "Enough with all this mushy stuff, so look at you Mr. Emmy Winning Singer." She said.
"Yeah, it's weird. Everyone expected me to play basketball, even I did. I can't believe that I am" He answered.
"I could. You have an amazing voice, and apperentally America thinks that to" She said sincerly.
"Thanks I guess. I'm sorry about your job"
"It's okay, the boss was getting on my last nerve anyways. Always wanting me to work and all that." She said and he nodded "You muttered something like 'Only one more to go' what does that mean?" He asked and she blushed.
"You heard that?" She asked blushing and he nodded. "I lost one of my jobs and I only have one left, that's what I meant... you were never supposed to hear it."
"Ohh.." He paused.
"Yeah" She said awkwardly.
"Gabriella, you can't keep living the way you are. It isn't healthy for you or your daughter." He paused "Which is why..."
Tell me what you think please :D
