Chapter 16

"So, when is Ava gonna be here?" Gabriella asked as she stepped into the house.

"She should be here in..." I looked down at my watch. My eyes widened. "..20 minutes!"

"You'd better go get ready." Gabriella smiled amused. I gave a slight chuckle and went to the bathroom. I turned on the water and removed the shirt from over my head. I hopped in the shower as I heard the doorbell ring. I quickly turned off the knobs and darted to my room. Pulling on some jeans and a polo I walked back into the family room.

"Hey, you must be Ava." I smiled and stretched out my hand to the woman in front of me.

"Um, yeah." Ava had dirty blonde hair that came down to her shoulders. Her eyes were an enchanting color of grey...or hazel. "It's nice to meet you Troy." She giggled when some of the water got on her.

"Sorry, I kinda just got out of the shower."

"It's fine. Mel, said you never dried your hair." She giggled.

"Really? How long have you know her?" I asked.

"Since I was five." Same amount of time as me.

"And we've never met?" Ava shrugged.

"I guess she just wanted to have a hansome guy like you all to herself." She blushed. Aw, how cute.

"Hello?! Do you not see me standing here?" Gabriella.

"Oh yeah, Ava this is my friend Gabriella."

"Hi there." Ava gave Gabi a soft smile.

"Hi. Sorry, but I think Troy forgot to mention a few things." She paused and shot me a glare. This wasn't going to end well. "Troy and I are more like best friends. We're extremely close. So close, that we are having a baby together." Tell me she did not just say that...

"Are you?" Ava questioned with crossed arms as her smile turned into a frown. She looked at me for an answer.

"Well..." What do I do?

"We're having a baby girl in February."

"Suddenly, I don't think I'm up for watching movies anymore." Ava turned on her heel and walked briskly out of my house, closing the door with a slam.

"Why?" I shouted as I slowly turned to face Gabirella. "Why Gabriella?!"

"I-I don't know."She paused and lowered her head. "I guess maybe I was jealous, and hurt."

"Explain."

"You and her were just clicking. It was like you've found someone already. I felt like I was losing you...even if you'd only known her for two minutes. It hurt Troy." A tear dropped from her face. Man! She knows I hate it when she crys. "Our friends completely ignored me when I said no to you. Shar and Tay didn't answer my calls. Zeke and Chad just told me how wrong I was being. They shut me out, and I think I deserved it. But, shouldn't someone try to listen to my feelings too? I mean, there's no one whose going through what I'm going through. I've got no one to talk to. I'd lost the most important one...and that was you."

"Gabi..."

"...and I'm pretty sure that you're mad. I don't blame you, but I'm finally realizing that I'm losing you Troy. We're not as close as were once were. It seems like all we do is fight and argue. I hate that."

"Gabi..."

"I know I've been sending some weird signals about the baby. In truth, I really don't know who the father is and I won't know until she's born...but no matter what I've done to you, you've stuck by me and kept your promise. You promised you'd be there with me and at first, I thought it was just words. Then, I turned down your proposal and you still came. I know I'm saying things that you already know but the point is, no matter what I say, you and I both know that your going to be the closest thing this baby girl has to a father." Gabriella gave me a sad smile and sighed. "What was it you were trying to say?"

"I don't remember." I brought Gabriella into my arms and kissed her forehead. "It doesn't matter anymore."

"I love you, Troy." She whispered.

"I love you too." I leaned down and gently touched my lips to hers. Gabi wrapped her arms around my neck as I placed mine on her hips. She slipped her tongue across my lower lip and smiled.

"I've missed that." She said as she pulled away.

"I have too. How about you and I watch a movie?" I suggested. Gabs put a hand on her chin and pretended to think.

"Okay, as long as we can do it in your room."

"Is it safe to do that while your pregnant?" I asked. Gabi slapped me on my arm.

"Troy! I meant watching the movie!" She said smiling. "and if you would've read the information I gave you, you would know the answer to that question." She smirked.

"I was only kidding about that. I know the answer, and it's perfectly safe." I said proudly.

"Very good Mr. Bolton." She leaned up and kissed me. Gabriella opened her mouth and kissed me teasingly. This girl drives me crazy.

"Okay, if you don't want to end up unclothed on my bed, then I suggest you stop."

"Maybe I want to end up that way." She pouted.

"Don't tease me Montez." I said sternly. Gabriella crashed her mouth onto mine and pulled me by my collor toward my room. We kissed feveriously until we fell onto the bed. I made sure not to land on her belly.

We began to kiss again but Gabriella stopped. She pulled back.

"What's wrong?" I asked, concerened.

"Give me your hand." She ordered. I handed it over and she placed it on her stomatch. "Did you feel that?" She asked reffering to the lite pound that I'd felt.

"W-was that..." Gabriella just nodded. There it is again. "She kicked!"

"She's still going to." Gabriella laughed.

"We've got ourselves a soccer star!" I laughed.

"Yeah, and to think I pegged her for basketball like us."

"I love you and our daughter." I whispered as I leaned in to kiss her.

"We love you too." She kissed me sweetly. "I think we need a name for her."

"Definitely...what do you have in mind?" I asked.

"Nothing. I'll talk to the family tomorrow."

"Me too." Gabriella and I settled into my bed comfortably and slowly drifted off to sleep...
