Chapter 17
As I lay still in the bed, Gabriella plants sweet kisses on my bare chest. my arms are wrapped protectively around her as she lays. "She's kicking again." Gabi announced.
"My guess is either soccer or track." I laughed.
"I was hoping for basketball, but track's good to. Anythingto get her a scholarship." I kissed the top of her head.
"I've missed you Gabi." I whispered in a hush tone. She shifted her body and turned to face me.
"I've missed you too." She leaned up and kissed me passionately. "I know how we wanted to spend time together today, but Sharpay's kinda throwing me a baby shower." She laughed. Is she supposed to know that? "I saw the invites in her car." I formed an 'o' shape with my mouth.
"That's fine. I planned on spending time with your brothers anyway." Gabriella shot me a funny look.
"You? Troy Bolton? You want to spend time with them?" I chuckled.
"Yes. I haven't talked to Ricky since we told them you were preganant." That guy is my best friend...don't tell Chad I said that.
"Fine, but if Johnny turns all moody I don't want to hear a thing."
"And you won't. I think he likes me now." I stated proudly. No one can hate me...it's impossible.
"That's what he wants you to think." She scoffed. My phone vibrated against Gabriella's leg and she yelped.
"Hello?" I asked stifiling a luagh.
"Hey! It's Ricky."
"Hey man! Hold on a sec." I covered the mouthpiece of the phone. "It's your brother." I whipsered to Gabi. In a instant, she snatched the phone away.
"Ricky?! Hey! I'm good. How's Alex." Now she wants to talk to him. "Yeah, I'm having a girl. No, we haven't named her yet. What's Alex having? Aww how sweet."
"You know, this might sound crazy, but I think your brother called to talk to me." Gabriella just waved a hand at me and kept talking. I got up took a shower and got dressed. Gabriella herself was dressed and off the phone.
"Ricky says he'll meet you at Chad's today."
"I' would've know that if someone hadn't taken away my cell phone." I joked.
"Well, I missed my brother. He and Alex are having a boy. They're naming him after our dad."
"So his name's going to Richard Montez?" I asked, putting two and two together. Gabriella nodded.
"They're going to call him Richie for short. Baby Richie...isn't that cute?" I smiled at Gabriella.
"Extremely, but it won't be as cute as our daughter's name."
"Have you given any thought to it?"
"Some." I shrugged my shoulders.
"Well what have you got?"
"I like Chloe. I've always loved that name."
"I like Marie. It sounds sweet. Maybe we should put them together."
"Marie Chloe Bolton?" I'm not too fond of the way that sounds.
"No...I was thinking we switch the order. Chloe Marie."
"Chloe Marie Bolton. Chloe Marie Bolton...I like it." Gabriella squealed happily and kissed me.
"Our baby has a name! It's soo cute! Now I don't have to play that girly name the baby game at the shower. I can't wait to brag." Gabriella gushed. I swear, she is the cutest woman in the world.
"When's the next appointment?"
"In two months. Then, I'll be eight months and it'll just be a check up."
"We get to see her make faces at us don't we?" I asked. The thought of our baby girl making a toothless grin made me smile like a dofus.
"Yes Troy. That makes you happy doesn't it?" I nodded my head vigoriouslly as Gabriella giggled. "Well good, because it makes me happy too." I took her in my arms and kissed her passionately. The doorbell sounded and we broke apart. "The shower is going on here...did I forget to tell you that?" The look of innocence on her face made me forget about the tiny bit of anger that had risen.
"Fine, but everything better be clean."
"It will, now go meet my brothers." I kissed Gabi once more before exiting out the back door.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Troy! Long time no talk." Ricky greeted as he opened the door.
"I know. I've been busy with somethings, but eveything's settled now."
"You didn't do anything to hurt my baby sister did you?" Johnny asked as he came into the room. It's more like the other way around. When I didn't answer, he gave me a death glare.
"Relax, that Jason's job. You should be attacking him. He's the one who left before Gabi's appointment." He left her?
"That doesn't mean Troy didn't have any problems with her."
"Gabi and I are fine." I spoke up. Johnny stared at me before walking off toward the back yard. "He's starting to hate me again isn't he?" I can feel it. Just when I get on his good side.
"Don't mind him. He's just mad that he's practically 40 and he's unmarried with no kids."
"I thought Leslie said she wanted to marry him."
"She did, he just doesn't know how to ask her." Ricky shrugged and the two of us walked back
"So, what are we doing today? The girls are at that joint baby-shower thingy."
"Yeah, did anyone know it was at my house?" Zeke and Chad both raised their hands. Fruit cups..."Why didn't you tell me?"
"It was part of the plan to get you and Gabriella back together." Zeke clamped a hand over Chad's mouth as I prayed Johnny didn't hear him.
"We're fine guys. We havea name for the baby too." I hastily said. Good thing me and Gabi figured it out this morning. Otherwise I'd be talking about something like socks..
"What is it? I wanna know the name of my niece!" Ricky exclaimed.
"We're going to name her Chloe Marie."
"Mom's gonna love that one. Marie was our Grandmother's name." Ricky smiled.
"That makes since. I can't wait for little Richie either."
"I know! My little guy is going to be the best baskteball player there ever was." Ricky beamed proudly.
"Our daughter will either play basketball or run track with the way she's kicking." I joked. We all laughed and settled ourselves into more deep conversations. The entire time, I noticed Johnny never once stopped giving me the evl eye. It's summer '07 all over again...
