That night, Troy and Gabriella put Grace and Logan to bed. They walked into their bedroom. Gabriella climbed into bed and looked at Troy, who took off his shirt and stripped down to his boxers. Troy got into bed and looked at Gabriella.

"Do you want to read with me?" Gabriella asked shyly.

Troy smiled and kissed Gabriella's cheek. He moved Gabriella's body closer to him.

"Yeah, where do we start?" Troy asked.

Gabriella picked up her laptop and set it in between her and Troy. She started typing and pressed enter and started her search. An hour and a few tears later, Gabriella's head was leaning against Troy's chest. Troy rubbed Gabriella's back soothingly and kissed her head softly.

"Maybe it wasn't such a good idea for us to research stuff" Gabriella said.

"We have to learn about this somehow right?" Troy said.

"Yeah, but I didn't think I would be crying like this just reading an article about it" Gabriella said.

"You are nervous and that's okay, Brie. I am too. But we need to know what's going on and what to expect" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"How about we stop reading for tonight and we continue tomorrow? I think we read a lot today" Troy said closing Gabriella's laptop and placing it on the nightstand.

Gabriella nodded. Troy smiled and leaned in and kissed Gabriella's lips.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you or baby girl. I promise" Troy said.

Gabriella's eyes filled with tears and she wrapped her arms around Troy's neck and choked back a sob. Troy rubbed Gabriella's back soothingly.

"Everything's going to be fine, sweetheart. Don't worry" Troy said.

"It's just a lot of emotions running through-" Gabriella started.

"I know and that's okay. Why don't you get some sleep and we can start tomorrow fresh?" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. Troy moved so that he was looking at Gabriella.

"I love you so much, Brie. We are going to get through this" Troy said.

"I love you too" Gabriella said.

The couple fell asleep. A couple weeks later, Troy came home from work and his mouth fell open. He saw that Gabriella's stomach had grown significantly since the night before.

"Woah baby. She grew overnight" Troy said.

Gabriella looked at Troy with tears in her eyes. Troy saw the hurt in Gabriella's eyes and instantly wrapped his arms around her.

"No baby, I didn't mean it like that. I'm sorry" Troy said.

Tears ran down Gabriella's face.

"But I am fat" Gabriella said.

"Brie, you are not fat. You are pregnant. I honestly think you are even sexier when you are pregnant than when you aren't. You look beautiful baby. I'm really sorry. It came out wrong" Troy said.

Gabriella cried in Troy's arms. Troy took a deep breath and released it.

"Then what did you mean?" Gabriella asked tearfully.

"I meant to say that the baby grew overnight. Your belly is bigger than it was yesterday because she grew. That's what I was trying to say, sweetheart. I'm sorry" Troy said placing his hand on Gabriella's expanding stomach.

Gabriella took a deep breath and released it and sniffled.

"I'm sorry for being overdramatic. It's the hormones" Gabriella said crying all over again.

Troy smiled sympathetically and rubbed Gabriella's back with his free hand.

"It's alright honey" Troy said.

Troy held Gabriella in his arms for twenty minutes until she pulled back and wiped the last of her tears and looked at Troy, embarrassed of her hormonal outburst.

"You okay baby?" Troy asked.

Gabriella nodded.

"I really am sorry for saying that. Can you forgive me?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. I've never had a huge mood swing like that" Gabriella said.

"Maybe she will be a mini Sharpay" Troy said.

Gabriella shook her head.

"Over my dead body" Gabriella said.

Troy chuckled. Gabriella wrapped her arms around her husband. Troy kissed Gabriella's cheek softly and rubbed her stomach in small, soothing circles.

"I love you" Troy said.

"I love you too" Gabriella said.

"I called dad on my way home" Troy said.

"How is mom?" Gabriella asked.

"She's alright. She's trying so hard to get better and do things that she used to" Troy said.

"How is dad handling it?" Gabriella asked.

"He said that he put a rail on her side of the bed and moves it up when she's going to go to sleep or at night so she doesn't fall or try to get out of bed on her own" Troy said.

"And how has that been going?" Gabriella asked.

"Nothing bad yet. She's still working with a physical therapist. He said that mom asked about Grace and Logan" Troy said.

"What about them?" Gabriella asked.

"She wants to see them. She hasn't seen Logan since before the stroke" Troy said.

"He's much younger than Grace, Troy. I don't think it's a good idea. I got used to the idea of Grace seeing her. But Logan…he's younger and more sensitive" Gabriella said.

"I know and I told dad the same thing" Troy said.

Gabriella took a deep breath and released it.

"How are you feeling?" Troy asked softly.

"Tired" Gabriella said.

"Why don't you take a nap? I'll watch the kids" Troy said.

Too tired to argue, Gabriella nodded. She kissed Troy's lips softly. Troy kneeled down and kissed Gabriella's bump gently.

"I love you sweetheart. Give your mommy a break" Troy said.

Gabriella smiled. Troy stood up and smiled.

"Go take your nap. If I need to run to mom's, I will wake you up" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. She walked upstairs. A couple hours later, Gabriella came downstairs and smiled when she saw Troy reading a book to Logan. She walked to the doorway and leaned against it and listened. Logan looked up and smiled.

"Hi mommy" Logan said.

"Hi Logan. What are you guys reading?" Gabriella asked.

"A book" Logan said.

Gabriella smiled.

"Is it good?" Gabriella asked.

"Uh huh" Logan said.

"Good. Is Grace still sleeping?" Gabriella asked looking at the time and saw that it was two hours after their scheduled nap time.

"Yeah, she was out when I took Logan to go potty" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"How was your nap?" Troy asked.

"Good. Much needed. I feel a lot better" Gabriella said sitting down next to Troy and Logan.

"Chad called when you were asleep. He wanted to know if we could get a game going" Troy said.

"You can go babe. We are fine" Gabriella said.

"I know. I just was waiting for you to wake up before I left. Do you need anything while I am out?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shook her head.

"Okay" Troy said getting up.

Troy helped Gabriella to a standing position and kissed her lips softly.

"I'll be back in a little while. Call me if you need anything" Troy said.

"Okay. Say bye to daddy, Logan" Gabriella said.

"Bye daddy" Logan said.

Troy left the house and drove to Chad's. He parked his car and walked into the backyard and saw Chad already making free throws.

"You are going to break your back, old man" Troy joked.

Chad chuckled.

"Speak for yourself. How's it going?" Chad asked.

"Pretty good. Everyone is doing okay" Troy said shooting a basket.

"How's Lucy?" Chad asked.

Troy took a deep breath and released it.

"She's alright. She's fighting hard. Logan and Grace are dying to see her and my dad. But, Brie and I don't think it's a good idea" Troy said.

"They are young. Didn't you take Grace there or am I imagining things?" Chad asked running up to the basket and dunking the ball into the hoop.

"Yeah, I did. She got scared at first. But when I took her back the second time, she was fine. They miss going over there" Troy said.

"That's really their second home. How are you doing with all of it?" Chad asked.

Troy scrunched his nose looked down at his feet and nodded.

"It's been hard. Every day it's something else. I always have to have my phone on me because I never know if my dad or the nurse will call me and tell me something happened. It's been an emotional rollercoaster" Troy said.

"Have you talked to Gabriella about it at all?" Chad asked.

"Yeah. But at the same time, I don't want to stress her out because I know she will. They're her parents too. I just don't know what's going to happen" Troy said.

"And that's the scariest thing" Chad finished.

Troy nodded.

"We are here for you, hoops. If you need anything or you and Gabi need a break, let us know. We can take the kids for the night so you can do what you need to" Chad said.

Troy smiled slightly.

"Thanks Chad. That means a lot" Troy said.

"We've known each other since we were five, Troy. We're not just best friends. We're brothers" Chad said.

Troy nodded.

"I'm just worried about Brie and the kids. All three of them don't need to be dealing with the stress of this too" Troy said.

Chad nodded.

"It's a family's worst nightmare. But you are handling it well" Chad said.

"My dad told me not to come over there because of everything that is going on at home. He didn't want to add another thing to my plate. But, I can't just ignore it" Troy said dribbling the ball.

"He doesn't want you to go crazy. You have Gabriella, who is pregnant with a baby that is not in the position it's supposed to be in. You have the kids, who need you. Then you have work on top of it. It's a lot" Chad said.

Troy nodded.

"We started researching about it" Troy said talking about the baby.

"How has she been dealing with it?" Chad asked.

"She's scared and so am I. Yeah, we have two kids but with her having the miscarriage and everything that came along with that, we just want to know what can happen" Troy said.

"What can happen?" Chad asked.

"The worst case scenario is that she has a c-section. She doesn't want that and I don't either. But if it comes down to that, we have no choice" Troy said.

Chad nodded.

"Enough about me and everything going on. What about you and Tay? Any babies in the works?" Troy asked.

Chad smiled.

"Not yet. We are just waiting for a while until everything slows down. She's really busy with work" Chad said.

Troy nodded.

"Are you excited to be a daddy for the third time?" Chad asked.

Troy couldn't help but smile and nodded.

"When you become a parent, you will understand. But when you hold that baby for the first time in your arms and know that you created it nothing will matter anymore. When Grace was born, there was a lot of stuff going on but as soon as I held her for the first time, I never thought I could love someone that much within minutes of meeting them. I can't wait for this one to come" Troy said smiling thinking about his unborn daughter.

Chad smiled.

"It definitely is a good look for you" Chad said.

Troy smiled.

"I love being a dad. I didn't think I would be a good one" Troy said.

The two men talked for a little while longer. An hour later, Troy walked into the house and smiled when he saw Grace and Logan in their pajamas and sitting with Gabriella, who was reading a book to them. Troy leaned against the door frame of the living room and listened. Gabriella looked up and smiled.

"Hey" Gabriella said.

"Hey, getting ready for bed?" Troy asked.

Gabriella nodded.

"Mind if I join the party?" Troy asked.

"Daddy, it's not a party" Grace said.

Troy smiled and walked into the living room and sat down with his family. He lifted Grace onto his lap.

"It sure looks like one" Troy said.

Gabriella smiled.

"We were just finishing" Gabriella said.

Troy nodded.

"Did you brush your teeth?" Troy asked his children.

"Yes" Grace and Logan said simultaneously.

"Okay. Come on, let's go upstairs" Troy said getting up and lifting Grace onto his hip.

Troy, Grace, and Logan walked upstairs. Ten minutes later, Troy had tucked Logan in and walked into Grace's room and smiled when he saw her awake in bed. He sat on the edge and leaned down and kissed her head.

"Good night, Gracie. I love you" Troy said.

"Daddy" Grace said.

"Yeah?" Troy asked.

"When the new baby comes is it going to be like when Logan was a baby?" Grace asked.

Troy smiled. He swore Grace was a clone of Gabriella. She was very smart and caught onto things fast.

"Yeah, kind of. You are still going to be her big sister and Logan will be her big brother. Why?" Troy asked.

"I don't know" Grace said.

"Are you sad that mommy and I are going to have another baby?" Troy asked.

Grace shook her head. Troy looked at the five-year-old and smiled.

"Grace, mommy and I will always love you and Logan. I promise you sweetheart" Troy said.

Grace nodded. Troy smiled and kissed her head one last time.

"You need to get some sleep okay?" Troy said.

Grace nodded.

"I love you Grace" Troy said.

"I love you daddy" Grace said.

Troy got off Grace's bed and walked out of the room. He went downstairs and saw Gabriella pulling out ingredients out of the refrigerator.

"What are you making?" Troy asked.

"A delicacy" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled. He wrapped his arms around Gabriella from behind and set his chin on her shoulder. He placed his hands on both sides of Gabriella's bump and rubbed it in soothing circles.

"What kind of delicacy?" Troy asked.

"A pregnant one" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled and kissed Gabriella's shoulder and then her neck.

"Grace asked me when the baby comes, will it be like when Logan was a baby? I explained to her that we love her and Logan and that she will still be a big sister, but Logan will become the baby's big brother" Troy explained.

"Do you think she is thinking that we will forget about her?" Gabriella asked.

"I don't think so. I just think that this time around is different. Grace is a lot older now than she was when we had Logan. She's starting to observe things" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"The last thing I want is for either of them to feel like they are going to be forgotten or left out when she comes" Gabriella said putting finishing touches on her snack.

"I know. We just have to talk to them about it when it comes up" Troy said.

"It just makes me sad that they would think that" Gabriella said as tears fell from her eyes.

Troy smiled sympathetically. He took the utensils that Gabriella was using out of her hands and set them on the counter. He then wrapped his arms around Gabriella and kissed her cheek softly and rubbed her back.

"Mood swings" Gabriella mumbled into Troy's chest.

Troy chuckled.

"It's okay. Mood swings don't bother me anymore" Troy said.

Gabriella closed her eyes and inhaled Troy's cologne and relaxed.

"Is your snack ready?" Troy asked.

Gabriella looked over at her snack that she created and nodded.

"Eat your snack and then let's get in bed okay?" Troy said.

"Okay" Gabriella said.

Gabriella unwrapped her arms from Troy's body and ate a piece of her snack.

"Do you want to try it?" Gabriella asked.

"No thank you sweetie. It's all yours" Troy said.

Gabriella shrugged and continued to eat her snack. Once she finished, Gabriella put her plate in the dishwasher. The couple went upstairs. When Gabriella got into bed she pulled her shirt up, revealing her bump. She traced imaginary shapes on her expanding belly. Troy smiled and got into bed. He lied down on his side and propped his head up. Troy leaned over and kissed Gabriella's bump softly.

"Feel better?" Troy asked.

Gabriella nodded.

"How was Chad's? I never asked you" Gabriella said.

"Good. We talked for a while" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. She didn't want to push anything on Troy. He kissed Gabriella's bump again.

"He asked about the baby and mom" Troy said.

"I figured" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled slightly.

"He agreed with dad when I told him how he didn't want me to be at the hospital when she fell that night" Troy said.

"He said the same thing?" Gabriella asked.

Troy nodded.

"Babe, you are always going to worry about her. There's not going to be a time where you don't and he and dad are not telling you all of that to try and tell you not to worry. They are telling you that because and I don't want to come out sounding needy or clingy" Gabriella started.

Troy shook his head.

"You will never sound like that" Troy said.

"I wasn't finished" Gabriella said softly.

"Sorry. Continue" Troy said.

"They are telling you that because we have two kids who need you and I'm pregnant. They don't want you to throw yourself into something that can potentially occupy your life more than what's going on at home. Like I said, I don't want to sound needy or clingy" Gabriella said.

"I understand and you don't sound like that at all. If I have done that Brie, I'm so sorry. I just-" Troy started.

"Don't apologize, baby. I get what you are going through. I'm just trying to explain to you what dad and Chad both are telling you. It's nobody's fault" Gabriella said.

Troy nodded. He leaned in and kissed Gabriella's lips.

"Everything happening with her just piled up and I shut down and couldn't think about anything but her" Troy said.

"It's okay" Gabriella said softly.

Troy leaned in and kissed Gabriella softly. Gabriella pulled away and looked at her husband nervously.

"What is it?" Troy asked concerned.

"Will it hurt the baby?" Gabriella asked.

"We did it when you were pregnant with Grace and nothing happened" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"We don't have to baby if you don't feel comfortable" Troy said.

"No. I want to" Gabriella said.

"Are you sure?" Troy asked.

Gabriella smiled.

"Make love to me, Troy" Gabriella said.

"If I hurt you or you feel uncomfortable, don't hesitate to stop me" Troy said looking into Gabriella's eyes.

Gabriella nodded. Troy leaned in and kissed Gabriella's lips. Clothes were discarded and the couple made love into the early morning.
