Chapter 8

Last Time

"Yea I don't either." I hear a deep voice from behind me. Uh-oh.

Troy's POV

I look to the door and then back at Mady and Tony. The two of them look like they are about to pee their pants. To be honest, I'm scared for them. This is not the way, as a girl, you want your dad finding out about that you have a boyfriend. I have to not seem scared though; I promised Mady.

"Hey Dad." I say while rubbing my neck. Gabi looks concerned at me because she is the only one who knows I do that when I'm nervous. I smile reassuringly at her.

"Troy." He simply states still glaring towards Tony. I have to calm him down; I promised and I keep my promises.

"Dad" I start "Before you freak out, at least give them a chance to explain." He looks to me and we stare at each other. He finally backs down. "Fine." He says grumpily. The two younger ones look at me and I nod at them, to tell them to tell him and to reassure that I will be here the whole time.

"Daddy" Mady starts. "I-We-He" she stutters trying to hold back tears.

"You what?" My dad asks his face hard. I don't think Mady is used to this. Usually he is soft towards her. That's when she breaks; she breaks down crying right there. Tony goes to hold her but she pulls away. "Troy" she whimpers. "Please." I know what she wants. I'm quick to release Gabi and get my sister. I sit beside her and pull her into my lap. I rock her, rub her back and sing. It's the best way to calm her down.

Gabi's POV

I look at Troy singing to his sister and calming her down. I can't help but smile at the scene. He really loves his family.

"Is anyone going to tell me what's going on here?" Jack asks sternly. I've never seen him like this, but I also know that he is the most protective of Mady. She may not open up to him but she is his little girl. I don't think he really has a problem with Tony dating her because he knows Tony will protect her, I think he is more worried about losing his baby girl.

Tony finally snapping out of some shock decides to speak up. "Uncle Jack" he starts. "I-um I just told her that I liked her more than a friend. She is the most important person to me. You know me and you know I keep her safe. You know I'm one of the few people she will open up to. Please don't get mad at her for this. She hadn't got a chance to tell you before you walked in. You and I both know her, she doesn't lie." Tony finishes. By the end he is standing.

Jack is staring him down and Tony is just standing there looking right at him. "Daddy." A soft voice is suddenly heard. All of us look towards Mady except Jack who keeps his eyes on Tony. "Please look at me." She pleads. "Daddy. Please." He finally gives in and looks to Mady who is still situated in Troy's lap. His gaze is hard for a few moments then softens looking at his daughter who has tear stained cheeks with red, puffy eyes.

"Can I talk to Mady alone please." Jack asks. Well all go to get up and walk out but Mady and Jack.

'Troy." Mady says. "Please stay. You promised." Troy looks from the door to his sister and smiles softly before walking back into the room.

Troy's POV

The only people left in the room are Mady, Dad and I. Dad has taken a seat in Gabi's desk chair and Mady has snuggled into my side on Gabi's bed.

"Daddy" Mady starts slowly, while looking down. "Please don't be mad at me." I look to my dad who has a straight face.

"Mady." My dad says. She stays looking down. "Mady, look at me." He says in a bit softer tone than he was using earlier. She slowly lifts her head and looks at him. Blue meeting green; you can see the fear in Mady's eyes. "I'm not mad sweetie" my dad starts. I feel Mady relax a little. "Shocked, yes. Mad, no."

"Then why did you want to talk to me alone?" She asks. My dad gets up and comes up to us and kneels in front of Mady. He grabs her hands and looks at her.

"Sweetie, I was shocked earlier. I wanted to talk to you alone because I needed to tell you something." Mady looks at him. Her confusion written all over her face. "I'm ok with you and Tony dating, I just didn't think it would happen this early. Your still a baby girl." He says.

"I'm NOT a baby anymore though Dad." She says sternly.

"You will always be my baby girl." He replies, putting emphasis on always. "I just don't want to lose you." They look at each other before Mady wraps her arms around his neck. "You're not losing me." She whispers in his ear. Instead of replying, he just picks her up in the hug and squeezes her tight. I smile. This went better than I thought.

"Come on, let's go eat. I did come up here to get you for dinner." My dad says laughing. Mady and I nod before walking out into the hallway with my dad following close behind.

The Next Day

Mady's POV

Last night was eventful. First the only guy that isn't my brother who I trust becomes my boyfriend. Then Troy finds out then, Dad finds out which lead to a long and partially scary talk. After we left the Montez's my mom wanted to "talk." Assuming dad told her and it was just about Tony I agreed buy boy was I wrong. I got the sex talk. It was just wonderful.

Today Tony is coming over which I'm excited about. We're having a movie day. I heard the doorbell ring and ran to the door. I opened it and jumped onto Tony. He was shocked but reacted fast and caught me. After a little while, he put me down I leaned up and kissed his lips.

"Hello beautiful." He said. I smiled and snuggled into his embrace. "Hi." I murmured.

"Come on, let's go watch some movies." He said. I pulled away and nodded. We walked inside and into the basement, so we could watch movies on the big flat screen TV.

We just finished watching The Lion King; my pick; now we are about to watch 21 Jump Street; Tony's choice. At the end I was snuggled into his side. I looked up at him and smiled. He leaned down and kissed my lips. I started kissing back, it was like we were in our own little world. That was until 2 voices were heard.

"Now. This definitely isn't watching movies." The voices said.
