Rating: T, troyella family fluff
The car ride back to Gabriella's house was silent.
All that was heard was the sound of the road underneath the car.
Gabriella kept her eyes on the road.
She wanted to say something, anything. But her thought process was stopped.
" Troy, the baby's yours…" Gabriella thought to herself, she glanced at Troy, who was staring out the window.
Gabriella bit her bottom lip and decided to tell him later.
She put her eyes back on the road.
Troy glanced at Gabriella.
He sighed when he saw her look of sadness.
He was going to say something, but his confidence was drowning in his thoughts.
" She looks the same…" He thought, he gave a small smile.
Troy shook his head and turned it back to the window.
" Her life went on without me, and I wouldn't even look at another girl…until now."
Troy silently laughed at his cheesy joke.
Finally, Gabriella pulled up into her driveway.
She stopped the car and took the keys out of the ignition.
She sighed and sat back in her seat.
Gabriella scowled at the ground and bit her lip again, she was thinking about what to say.
Troy glanced around the car; he too, didn't know where to start.
Gabriella closed her eyes and took a breath,
" Troy, I-"
" Gabby, I'm not mad." Troy interrupted, he was afraid of what she might say.
Gabriella paused and let him continue.
" I'm not mad, or upset…but…why?" He looked at her, his eyes pleading.
" Troy, I-" Gabriella tried to say
" I mean, was it an accident? I…just can't see you, you of all people, doing something like this…" Troy leaned back in his chair and looked up.
" Troy-"
" You can't just say you love me and then admit you have a kid! That's just…not right…"
"I-"
" Gabriella, I never, ever stopped loving you. Not for one second. Every day I regretted doing what I did to you, and now…but, why would you do something like this?"
"…She's yours…" Gabriella quickly spit out.
" I mean…what?" Troy sat up in his seat and turned toward Gabriella.
Gabriella took a deep breath in, " The baby…she's yours…Troy."
" Are you serious?" Troy asked with a shocked expression
Gabriella nodded, with a small-embarrassed smile on her face.
Troy's serious face slowly faded into a grin.
" I have a daughter? Me?" Troy gave a laugh.
Troy glanced back to Gabriella; she just looked down and nodded.
" But, why didn't you tell me?" He asked with softness.
Gabriella kept her eyes to the ground, " I didn't know where you were and honestly…I was afraid…"
A look of concern spread across Troy's face, " Afraid? Of what?"
" Your reaction…I mean, seriously Troy." Gabriella looked directly at Troy.
Troy nodded, " I guess i did kinda freak out..."
The car was briefly silent.
" I would've been there… at least." Troy said as he looked out the windshield.
" I know…" Gabriella said as she glanced at her hands.
Another silence filled the car.
Troy was about to say something else, when Gabriella's phone rang.
Gabriella quickly picked it up.
" I'll be inside in five seconds." She said to her mom before her mom even said a word.
Gabriella looked at Troy, " So…do you want to meet her?" She asked unsure of his response.
" Of course I do." Troy said as he gently put his hand on top of Gabriella's.
Gabriella smiled as she and Troy got out of the car.
Gabriella waited for Troy to walk up to the door, when they were side by side, Troy slipped his hand into Gabriella's.
Gabriella took a deep breath as she opened the door.
Faith's cries where heard throughout the entire house.
Gabriella's mom heard the door, and quickly came around the corner with the screaming infant.
Troy moved out of the way, so he stood behind Gabriella.
" Oh, Gabby, thank god you're here! Faith's been crying and-" She stopped and noticed Troy was there.
" Oh…hello Troy…" She said nervously as she glanced at Gabriella.
Gabriella just smiled as she took her daughter from her mom.
" It's ok mom…he knows."
Mrs. Montez nodded her head, " Well…I'll be in the kitchen…" She said as she quickly turned around and left the room.
Gabriella turned around with Faith, who had calmed down at the sound of her mother's voice.
Gabriella looked at Troy, " Troy, this is Faith…your daughter."
Troy numbly nodded.
Gabriella looked down, " Well…I think she needs a diaper change, so I'm gonna' take her upstairs really quick…"
Troy nodded again as he looked to the ground.
" You can…come." She added as she walked to the stairs.
Troy responded by following her up the stairs to Gabriella's room.
" Ok missy, let's change your pants!" Gabriella said to Faith in a singsong voice.
Faith cooed and made cute noises as Gabriella made funny expressions and talked baby talk to her.
Troy watched from the doorframe.
He smiled at Gabriella.
Gabriella glanced back at Troy.
" What's so funny?" She asked as she finished buttoning up Faith's outfit.
Troy shook his head, " You're just…I don't know…. different." He laughed.
Gabriella shrugged; she picked Faith up from her bed and slid her on to her hip.
" What do you expect? I have a kid now…"
Gabriella sighed and moved her hair out of her face.
Troy watched Faith play with the design on her outfit.
" You've done a great job…" He said sheepishly.
Gabriella smiled, " Well, I'm glad it looks that way…"
Troy laughed.
Gabriella sat down on the floor and laid Faith down on a blanket with a few toys.
Troy came and sat next to Gabriella.
She playfully pulled at Faith's feet, and tickled them lightly.
Troy smiled; he looked at Gabriella, who was laughing.
Gabriella turned to Troy, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw that he was already looking at her.
He scooted closer to Gabriella and lovingly put his arm around her.
Gabriella responded by laying her head in between his chest and shoulder.
Gabriella's attention turned back to Faith.
Troy smiled at the two; he rested his arm on Gabriella's stomach.
Gabriella snuggled up closer to Troy's body.
Troy sighed as he reached out his other hand and softly brushed Faith's face.
Gabriella moved from under Troy's grasp and picked up Faith. She sat her in her lap.
Faith was contently sucking on her fingers; she looked up at her mom and smiled.
Gabriella laughed and laid her head back down on Troy.
" Hey Faithers, that's your daddy!" Gabriella said sweetly.
Faith looked up at Troy and reached her slobbery fingers at him.
Gabriella tilted her head, Faith didn't usually do that.
Troy smiled brightly as he reached towards the little girl and lifted her up.
" Hey there!" He said softly.
Faith's forehead scrunched as she stuck out her lips.
She patted around on his face, and messed with his nose, before being content.
Faith began babbling in baby talk to Troy.
He, being a nice person, answered her with things like:
" Really?" and "you don't say?"
He seemed so interested in what Faith had to say.
Shortly, Faith started yawning, and her eyes started drooping.
" Aww, is she tired already?" Troy asked as he looked at Gabriella.
Gabriella giggled, " It's probably from all the crying."
Troy sighed as he let Faith sink into the cradle of his arms.
She drowsily rubbed her eyes; and then dropped them to her side.
Gabriella smiled as she lightly patted Faith's tummy.
" She's beautiful…" Troy said somewhat sadly.
Gabriella looked up at him, " She has your eyes…"
Troy smiled and looked at Gabriella, " She has your everything else!"
Gabriella giggled as she nestled her head closer to him.
" What can I say, she's my baby girl!" Gabriella said sarcastically
" Our baby girl." Troy corrected as he glanced back down at Faith.
Gabriella tilted her head up so she could look at Troy.
" Our baby girl." She repeated to him
Troy looked back down at Gabriella.
He leaned down and sweetly kissed her lips. Their faces were still inches apart.
" I love you." Troy said to Gabriella
Gabriella looked into Troy's eyes, " I love you too." She said without hesitation.
Once again their lips touched.
Gabriella knelt her head down so it was against his chest.
Lightly, Troy kissed the top of Gabriella's head.
" It feels so right to be here with you."
