3 day's later: (July 30. Lissy's 3rd birthday) (Camryn 39 days old)

Gabriella set her alarm clock for 3:22 am, the exact time Lissy was born. She thought she would make it a tradition in their life. After Gabriella rubbed the sleepiness out of her eyes she rolled out of bed and walked to Lissy's bedroom. On her way Gabriella bumped into a couple walls, and that certainly woke her up. When she opened Lissy's door she saw the little girl fast asleep holding onto her teddy bear, Gabriella couldn't believe that Lissy was already 3 years old. As she stood there watching Lissy sleep she felt 2 arms wrap around her waist and jumped.

"She's not a baby anymore," Gabriella said leaning back into Troy's arms.

"No but she'll always be a baby to me."

"I remember when I first found out I was pregnant with her, I thought it was going to be the most horrible thing ever that she would ruin my life but when I held her for the first time I knew that she wasn't going to ruin anything," Gabriella reminisced and wiped away a tear coming out of her eyes, "What happened to my baby?"

"She's growing up," Troy said wrapping his arms tighter around Gabriella's body.

They stood their for a few more seconds before Gabriella said, "This is weird."
"What," Troy asked confused.

"Most teenagers would be standing here in an apartment drinking a beer and listening to music; not standing here watching the reason we're together and have another baby, sleep."

"Gabriella you don't even like parties like that," Troy pointed out.

She turned around in his arms, "Troy I've never been to party like that. All of my teenaged years has been spent being a mom….Don't get me wrong I love being a mom and I love Lissy and Camryn to death but I never got to experience all the wild parties and I never got grounded for sneaking out of the house to go to a wild party…..It's just you miss what you don't get to do."

Troy pulled her into a hug, "How about I get my mom to watch Lissy tomorrow and we can throw a wild party, consider it as a birthday present."

"Ugh I don't know."
"Come on Gabs, Mama needs a birthday party too," Troy said trying to get Gabriella to have some sort of party for her birthday tomorrow.

"Fine, but that's the only present you can give me okay. Because we don't have that much money."

"Yay," he whispered trying not to wake Lissy. Troy gave Gabriella a peck on the lips then ran and lightly jumped on Lissy.

"Wakey wakey sleepy head," Troy said lightly shaking the bed to wake Lissy up from her peaceful sleeping. Gabriella continued to stand in the door way and watched her boyfriend wake up their daughter with a smile on her face.

"Nose I'm sleeping," Lissy groaned still keeping her eyes closed.

"Fine then, I guess I get to keep your present," Troy teased getting up and pretending to walk away.

"No wait I'ms up," she said sitting straight up. Gabriella smiled and then went and hopped on Lissy's bed sitting next to her, "Happy Birthday baby."
"Can I give her the present now," Troy asked.

"Not yet I want to tell her a story," Gabriella said pulling Lissy back down to lay down next to her mom.

"This time 3 years ago I was laying in this same position," Gabriella started, this was another tradition that she wanted to add, "I felt like my body was going to rip in half, then the nice doctor came and gave me this needle in my back and I felt much better. Grandma was there holding my hand and getting me ice chips to snack on and Uncle David was there walking up and down the hallway waiting for you to come. It was the middle of the night and I was really tired but at 3:15 the doctor came and then 7 minutes later you were born. You were so little and so sweet and they put this pink hat on you're head and you slept the whole time they were cleaning you up and taking your foot prints. You were so perfect and to this day you're still perfect," Gabriella finished and looked down to the little girl lying on her chest who was now asleep.

Troy sat down on the edge of the small bed and looked down at Lissy was now back sleeping peacefully, "needle in your back, you really wanted to add that to your story?"
"Hey those drugs made me feel nothing they were awesome," Gabriella whispered trying not to wake Lissy.

Troy chuckled," So I'm guessing we'll give her the present later."

"Yeah let her sleep."
Gabriella laid there and soon fell asleep with Lissy still asleep on her chest. Troy kissed both of their heads and also kissed Camryn's picture then left them to sleep.

In the morning they were awoken by the door bell ringing, Gabriella and Lissy got up and answered the door.

"Hey mom," Gabriella said.

"Hey sweetheart, hey birthday girl," Ms. Montez said picking up Lissy.

"What's up mom, I thought we were going to come over later?"

"Yeah but I thought that I could come get Lissy and take her to get her present so that you don't have to take her to work with you," she explained.

"Thanks mom, I really appreciate it. We don't have to work that long, just a few hours….Lissy go pick out the clothes that you want to wear."

Ms. Montez put Lissy down and Lissy skipped to her room.

"So what did you get her," Gabriella asked when Lissy was out of ear shot.

"I'm not telling you, it's a surprise for all of you," Ms. Montez said walking over to the couch and turning on the TV. Gabriella just rolled her eyes and went to Lissy's room to help her put her clothes on.

When she got there Lissy had picked out a purple shirt with white flowers across the bottom and white pants with purple flowers on the right pant leg.

"Mama can I wears my Ariel underwears," Lissy asked.

"I don't know baby what if you have an accident?"

"Pwease," she put on her puppy dog face.

"Okay but why don't we put your pull up on first and then put your underwear over it?"
"Okays," Lissy smiled and Gabriella helped her put on her clothes.

When they were all done getting ready Ms. Montez took Lissy and Troy and Gabriella went off to work.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After work (3 pm) Troy and Gabriella went over to Ms. Montez's house to help Ms. Montez get everything ready for Lissy's party at her moms house. When Troy and Gabriella walked into her mothers house Lissy came running up to them holding a brown boxer puppy (Pic in profile) in her small hands.

"Mama look what Grandma got me," Lissy said showing her the puppy.

Both of their eyes went wide and looked over to Ms. Montez who had a smile on her face.

"Wow Lissy," was all Gabriella could say.

"I nameds her Bella," Lissy said then went back into the living room and played with the puppy.

Gabriella and Troy walked up to Ms. Montez who was standing the foyer.

"A puppy, really mom," Gabriella said trying to keep her voice calm.

"Yeah it was so cute and I knew that Lissy would love it."
"But mom how are we supposed to take care of a puppy too," Gabriella argued.

"Gabriella chill, I told Lissy that it was her puppy but I was going to keep her here and since she comes over here almost everyday I figured it all worked out," she explained.

"Yay I always wanted a puppy," Troy said and walked to the living room to play with Lissy and Bella.

"I'll take care of everything, I just thought that Lissy would love to have a dog," Ms. Montez explained more.

"Okay fine," Gabriella sighed.

While Troy watched Lissy, the Montez girls went into the kitchen so Ms. Montez could show Gabriella Lissy's Little Mermaid cake (Pic in profile).

"Wow mom that's great," Gabriella said.

"Yeah I'd like to take credit but me and Lissy picked it out at a store earlier."

After making so macaroni salad and sending Troy to the back yard to make the hamburgers and hot dogs, the girls decorated the house and per Lissy's instructions put some streamers outside on the trees.

Around 4:30 people started arriving, Taylor, Chad, Sharpay, Ryan, Zeke, Kelsi and some of Lissy's friends from Gymnastics (well the ones who still talked to her after what happened). All the guys went out to help Troy and the girls stayed inside and watched the kids play with Bella.

"So your mom got her a puppy," Taylor said sitting down next to Gabriella on the couch.

"Yep, and I cant get her to put the thing down."
The door bell rung and guessed that it was David and she was right but when she opened the door it was David and Jane.

"Hey Gabriella," David said.

"Hi."

She let them in and all the girls faces dropped when they saw Jane walking into the house.
