Taylor called Gabriella the next morning telling her that the party is at 2, so Gabriella had time to go over to David's. Troy and Lissy went out to go get some ice cream and of course went to go check on Camryn. On her way to David's she stopped at the court office and picked up the adoption papers for David to sign. All the way to David's house Gabriella was getting nervous not knowing how to ask him to give Lissy away to Troy. She knocked on the door and a very annoyed David answered the door.

"What do you want?"
"David we need to talk," Gabriella said.

"Can't we do this later…I'll call you."

"No we have to do this now," Gabriella said as Jane came walking up to David.

"What are you doing here," Jane asked.

Gabriella rolled her eyes and took the papers out of her pocket, "I need you to sign these."

He grabbed then from her, "What are they."

"I need you to give up your parental rights of Lissy."
"Why," he asked.

"Because Troy wants to adopt her and she wants him to adopt her……You wouldn't have to pay child support anymore and you would only have to see her when you wanted to and you wouldn't have any obligations to me anymore," Gabriella explained trying to make him think it's a good idea.

He stood there staring down at the papers thinking about what he should do. He sighed then asked, "If I sign these can I still see her sometimes?"

"Definitely, and I know she'll want to see you sometimes."
"She doesn't love me any more huh," he asked starting to feel bad about his actions in the past month.

"She does love you and she'll still love you. Just because Troy will be her dad it doesn't mean that she doesn't still love you."

This whole time Jane was rolling her eyes in the back of her head and trying not to say anything. David looked down at the papers one last time then walked into his house and came back out with a pen and signed all of the papers.

"Thanks David I really appreciate this."

"Here you go," he said handing her the signed papers.

"You know Taylor is throwing the baby a baby shower and everyone is invited, would you like to come?"
"I don't thinks so, but I'll call you or something later," he answered.

Gabriella said goodbye and drove back to the apartment relieved that it wasn't that hard to get David to sign the papers. It was a victory in Gabriella's book, she was more happy that getting him to sign the papers was easier then she thought it would be then actually Troy adopting Lissy.

When Gabriella got back to the apartment Troy and Lissy were back and Troy was giving her a bath and getting her ready for the baby shower. Gabriella walked into the bathroom and saw Troy rinsing her hair and Lissy telling him a story about her imaginary friend Calvin, it was so cute.

"And then he jumped off the bed and hurt his arms and then his daddy cames and kissed his boo-boo and then we went and played with the princess dolls," Lissy continued her story to Troy and Troy was actually listening.

"He was okay right," he asked indulging the little girl.

"Yeps he felt much better."

Gabriella continued to watch them as they interacted with each other as she leaned against the doorway, Troy and Lissy still not noticing she was standing there.

"You know I could die while waiting for you guys to realize I'm standing here," Gabriella said crossing her arms at her chest. They both turned around and smiled.

"Mamma, I gets all clean for Cammie's party," Lissy said as Troy dried her off with a towel.

"Yeah, Are you gonna wear that shirt that Auntie Taylor made you?"
"Yeps and I wants my hairs in pigtails," Lissy said walking to her mom with the towel draped over her shoulders.

"Okay well go get dressed and I'll fix your hair."
"I's dress my telfs," Lissy said then ran to her room.

Both Troy and Gabriella laughed and they walked out of the bathroom, Troy pulling Gabriella into his arms.

"So what happened?"
She smiled, "He signed the papers, now all we have to do is sign the rest and take them to the court house…..O and since we both are under 18 we have to have one of our parents to sign it too."

"No way," he said excited.

"Yep in about a month she'll be Melissa Grace Bolton."
He picked Gabriella up and spun her around than gave her a big loving kiss.

"I take it you're happy."

"Hell yes," he laughed.

He put her back down on the ground and Gabriella stood on her tippy toes and gave him another kiss identical to the one only moments before.

While they continued to kiss Lissy came walking back to them with her clothes on (the right way) and her brush and blue basketball hair ties.

"Mamma can you dos my hairs now," she asked while they were kissing. They broke apart and smiled.

"Sure baby come here."
Gabriella fix Lissy's hair while Troy took a shower and got dress, then they loaded into the car and went off to Taylor's house. When they got their, Troy and Gabriella smiled when they saw all the decorations on the front yard. There was one of those storks with Camryn's name on it and there was pink streamers and balloons in the trees and onsies hanging on a string hanging from one tree to the other.

"She really went way out didn't she," Troy said grabbing Lissy out of the car.

"Yea but her hearts in the right place."

Troy held Lissy in his arm and held Gabriella's hand as they walked towards the door. So far there was a bunch of people there. When Taylor opened the door she almost tackled Gabriella to the ground.

"Taylor can't breath," Gabriella gasped from the huge hug she was pulled into.

"Oh sorry," she said releasing her, "Come on," she pulled Gabriella's hand and pulled them into the house, "Troy the boys are out back playing basketball and Gabs the girls are in here."

"Lissy do you want to stay with me or Uncle…I mean daddy outside," Gabriella asked fixing what she said.

"Really," Lissy said excitedly about the daddy thing.

Gabriella nodded, "I's go with daddy," Lissy said.

Troy gave Troy a kiss and then he and Lissy went out to the backyard. Gabriella turned back to Taylor who was standing there shocked.

"What!?," Gabriella asked and started walking towards the room filled with her friends and some family.

"Don't what! Me," Taylor said following her, "What happened?"
"Troy really wanted to be Lissy's father and so did Lissy and this morning I went to get the adoption papers and went to David's and he signed them and then me, Troy and our parents have sign them and take them to the court house and she'll be his," Gabriella explained, the looked on her face made it seem like it wasn't a big deal.

"O my god," Taylor screeched and that was all she could say.

"Come on lets go," Gabriella said pulling Taylor into the room with all the girls and loads of presents.
