A couple weeks later, Troy walked downstairs and smiled when he saw Gabriella putting away toys that were scattered around the living room.

"Need some help?" Troy asked.

Gabriella smiled.

"Sure" Gabriella said.

Troy picked up a couple of toys and put them in the bin that they had sitting on the floor by the couch.

"Kids taking their nap?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. My mom is going to pick them up after. They are going to stay with her for the weekend" Gabriella said.

"Oh" Troy said.

"So that we can have some much needed time to ourselves" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled slightly as he put the last toy that was on the floor in the bin.

"Are you thinking what I think you are?" Troy asked.

Gabriella blushed and walked over to Troy.

"Any chance we can get; we have to make the best of it" Gabriella said.

"Still nothing?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shook her head. That night, Maria had picked up Logan and Grace. Gabriella closed the door and walked into the kitchen. Troy had been out in the backyard for a while, shooting hoops. Gabriella walked outside and smiled.

"Your knee is going to act up if you work yourself too hard" Gabriella said.

Troy ran up to the basket and dunked the ball into the hoop. He held onto the rim and jumped down and tried to catch his breath.

"Kids just left" Gabriella said.

Troy nodded.

"We can go grab a bite and see what we want to do after. If that is alright with you" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled.

"That sounds perfect. Can I take a shower first?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, go" Gabriella said.

The couple walked into the house. An hour later, Troy and Gabriella were at the restaurant where they had their first date.

"I talked to my mom a couple days ago when she had asked to have the kids for the weekend. She asked how trying was going" Gabriella said.

"My mom asked the same. It's going to take time and practice. But it will happen" Troy said.

"I just don't want to go through what we went through again" Gabriella said.

Troy put his hand on top of Gabriella's.

"All we can do is wait and see" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"You are missing the team" Gabriella said changing the subject.

"No I'm not. I just shoot hoops when I need to clear my head" Troy said.

"Did you have a bad day at work?" Gabriella asked.

"No. Chad called and told me that he's engaged" Troy said.

Gabriella smiled.

"That's amazing. But, why is that a reason to shoot hoops?" Gabriella asked.

"He did everything the right way. He graduated high school when he was supposed to, he went to college when he was supposed to, after college he moved in with his girlfriend, and now he popped the question. He did it" Troy said.

"You wish that you had done it that way" Gabriella concluded.

Troy swallowed hard.

"Sometimes. But, I don't regret anything" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. Troy entwined their fingers together.

"We had a baby, went to school, got married, had another baby, got a stable career, and now want to have another baby" Gabriella said.

"That's a mouthful" Troy joked.

Gabriella smiled.

"I wouldn't change anything" Troy said.

The couple ate and drove home. Once they got home, Troy and Gabriella walked upstairs.

"I'm going to take a shower" Gabriella said.

Troy nodded. Gabriella grabbed a towel and her clothes and went into the bathroom and closed the door. Twenty minutes later, Gabriella poked her head out of the bathroom and saw Troy looking at his phone.

"Hey babe, can you help me with my necklace?" Gabriella asked.

"Yeah" Troy said.

Troy got off the bed and walked to the bathroom. Gabriella opened the door a little more and Troy's eyes grew when he saw what Gabriella was wearing.

"What are you wearing?" Troy asked looking at Gabriella, who was wearing a matching lingerie set.

"You don't like it?" Gabriella asked slightly blushing.

Troy bit his lip.

"No, I like it. What's the occasion? We've been trying for-" Troy started.

"I wanted to change it up. You don't like it. I'll go change" Gabriella said.

Troy put his hand on Gabriella's arm. She looked at Troy. Troy leaned in and kissed Gabriella's lips softly but passionately. He lifted her into his arms and walked out of the bathroom to the bed and carefully placed Gabriella onto it. The lingerie set was carefully removed and the night was filled with every ounce of love that the couple felt for each other. The next morning, Troy woke up and saw Gabriella changed and ready for the day.

"Where are you going?" Troy asked.

"Um..." Gabriella said.

"Gabriella, where are you going?" Troy asked again.

Gabriella closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She opened her eyes and looked at Troy.

"Dr. Brand's" Gabriella said.

"For what?" Troy asked.

Busted.

"I scheduled check-ups every month. I just want to monitor everything and make sure that I'm okay" Gabriella said.

Troy knew that the sensitivity of the miscarriage that Gabriella had was coming back.

"Do you want me to go with you? I will if you want or need me to" Troy said.

Gabriella smiled slightly and nodded.

"Alright, let me get dressed and we will go" Troy said kissing her lips.

Ten minutes later, the couple were driving to Dr. Brand's.

"Were you just going to sneak out?" Troy finally asked.

"I didn't want you to worry" Gabriella said.

"I would have been more worried if I didn't know where you were. You have to talk to me, Brie" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"I'm taking all the precautions" Gabriella said.

"I know and I know that you are worried. But, baby you got to let me in and tell me what's going on" Troy said.

"I'm sorry" Gabriella said.

"No more sneak outs okay?" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. The couple arrived at Dr. Brand's and parked the car. They walked in and Gabriella was called immediately. Five minutes later, Gabriella was sitting on an exam table in a gown waiting for Dr. Brand.

"How many of these have you been having?" Troy asked.

"There was only one before this one" Gabriella said.

"Gabriella" Troy started.

"I don't want you to be mad. If we are actively trying, I want to make sure that everything is okay" Gabriella said tears forming in her eyes.

Troy stood up and put one hand next to Gabriella's left and right leg.

"I don't want you to be doing this by yourself" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"I'm sorry" Gabriella said.

Troy kissed Gabriella's forehead. Dr. Brand came in and smiled.

"Troy, I didn't expect to see you here" Dr. Brand said.

"He saw me sneaking out" Gabriella said.

Dr. Brand nodded.

"So what are we looking for exactly?" Troy asked.

"We are just monitoring Troy. Making sure that all Gabriella's numbers are normal and that internally she is okay" Dr. Brand said.

Troy nodded.

"What do you want to start with first? The blood sample or urine?" Dr. Brand asked.

"Blood first" Gabriella said.

Dr. Brand called in a nurse to take Gabriella's blood. She then handed Gabriella a cup for the urine sample. After both were done, Dr. Brand looked at the couple.

"Troy, are you okay?" Dr. Brand asked.

"Yeah. I just didn't think that these appointments that you had been going to were this extensive" Troy said.

Gabriella looked down, embarrassed. She knew that she had hurt Troy by not telling him. Dr. Brand smiled.

"The results from the lab work last time were normal. There wasn't anything that looked abnormal or elevated" Dr. Brand said knowing that Troy wanted to know about the previous appointment.

Troy nodded.

"I want to do an exam as well" Dr. Brand said.

Gabriella nodded and lied back. She spread her legs apart and looked at Troy.

"I'm sorry" Gabriela said with tears in her eyes.

Troy wiped the tears that were running down her cheeks. He took her hand in his own.

"Don't be. You were being cautious and that's a good thing" Troy said.

Dr. Brand washed her hands and put a pair of latex gloves on.

"Are you ready, Gabi?" Dr. Brand asked.

Gabriella nodded and took a deep breath. Dr. Brand examined Gabriella. Troy held her hand and smoothed her hair back. A couple moments later, Dr. Brand looked up and smiled.

"Everything looks fine. No inflammation or anything like that" Dr. Brand said.

Gabriella nodded.

"Do you want to make an appointment for next month?" Dr. Brand asked.

Gabriella nodded.

"I'll get that set up and call you with the lab results okay?" Dr. Brand said.

"Okay" Gabriella said.

Dr. Brand left the exam room. Gabriella changed back into her clothes and the couple left the office. As they were driving, Troy looked at Gabriella.

"Aren't you going to lecture me on how irresponsible and crazy I am?" Gabriella asked.

"No. You were being responsible and you took the initiative to make sure that you were healthy and that we were doing everything right. I'm upset because you didn't tell me, Brie. You kept that from me" Troy said.

"I was scared and I shut down" Gabriella said.

"I know. But, if you had told me at the beginning, I could have helped or tried to" Troy said.

"I guess we are back to where we started" Gabriella mumbled.

"I don't want to argue about this okay? When it comes down to your health, I want to know about what is going on. Did I do something to make you try to hide this from me?" Troy asked.

"No. I just wanted to handle it on my own. I'm scared that it will happen again. That's why I am doing this" Gabriella said.

Troy nodded. He pulled into the driveway and parked his car. The couple got out.

"Brie" Troy said.

Gabriella looked at Troy.

"Come here" Troy said.

Gabriella walked over to Troy, who opened his arms. Gabriella walked into them and wrapped her arms around Troy's waist.

"I love you" Troy said.

"I love you too" Gabriella said.

"Let's drop this conversation okay?" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. The couple walked into the house and watched movies for the rest of the day. A couple weeks later, Troy had just come into the house from the backyard after shooting hoops. He walked into the kitchen and grabbed a water bottle and took a sip. Logan walked into the room.

"Daddy" Logan said.

"Yeah?" Troy asked.

"I have a secret to tell you" Logan said.

Troy smiled.

"A secret, huh? What kind of secret?" Troy asked kneeling down to his son's level.

"A mommy secret" Logan said.

"A mommy secret? Is it about mommy or you don't want me to tell mommy?" Troy asked.

"About mommy" Logan said.

"What is it?" Troy asked.

"Mommy said that she is going to have a baby" Logan said.

"She told you that?" Troy asked trying not to show any sort of emotion.

Logan nodded.

"Did she tell you not to tell me buddy?" Troy asked.

"She told me not to" Logan said.

Troy nodded.

"Thank you for telling me anyway" Troy said.

Logan smiled. Troy smiled at his son and stood up. He watched Logan go off and play. Troy walked upstairs and saw Gabriella putting away clothes that she had folded in Grace's room.

"What are you doing?" Troy asked.

"Putting away laundry" Gabriella said.

"You shouldn't be working yourself that hard. The stress will hurt the baby" Troy said trying not to smile.

Gabriella dropped what she was doing and looked at Troy like a deer in headlights.

"Our son is very smart" Troy said.

"Troy-" Gabriella started.

Troy raised his eyebrow and looked at Gabriella.

"I was going to tell you tonight. I just took the test and Logan saw me when I had just read the results" Gabriella said.

Troy nodded amused of how Gabriella reacted to being caught.

"Troy, say something" Gabriella said.

Troy was trying not to laugh.

"It's not funny" Gabriella said.

"Never trust Logan with your secrets. He loves his daddy and will tell" Troy said.

"Troy-" Gabriella started.

Troy walked over to Gabriella and kissed her lips.

"I'm happy baby. Just next time when you think of telling our children something, tell Grace. She doesn't tell a soul" Troy said.

Gabriella shook her head.

"I thought I could trust him" Gabriella said.

"He's three, Brie. He repeats everything that he hears" Troy said.

Gabriella raised her eyebrows in agreement.

"But I am happy. We did it" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"I have to make an appointment with Dr. Brand and I still need to have those check-ups. Now, more than before" Gabriella said.

"Hey, look at me" Troy said.

Gabriella looked at Troy.

"We have to get you checked out. But we can't obsess over every little thing, babe. We can only do so much" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"Now it's real and I don't want to mess up everything that I have been researching" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled.

"And you are not going to. You just have to let everything come the way it needs to. You can't try to stop it" Troy said.

"I know. I just worry" Gabriella said.

"I know. But, it's not going to happen this time baby" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. She wrapped her arms around Troy and sighed. Troy kissed her head softly.

"I love you and I am going to keep you and this baby safe" Troy said.

"I love you too" Gabriella said.
