A week later, Gabriella came downstairs and smiled when she Grace and Logan sitting at the table with Troy drawing pictures.

"What are you guys doing?" Gabriella asked kissing her children's cheeks.

"Drawing mommy" Grace said.

Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled.

"I'm going to go to my mom's for a little bit" Gabriella said.

"Okay. Call me if you need me" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. She kissed Troy's lips softly. Troy put hand on Gabriella's bump.

"Be good for mommy today baby girl. Don't cause any trouble" Troy said kissing Gabriella's bump.

Gabriella smiled. She left the house and drove to her mother's. Once she got there, Gabriella saw that her mother made some of her favorite dishes.

"Why did you make all this?" Gabriella asked.

"I wanted to. You just got out of the hospital Gabi" Maria said.

"Thanks mom" Gabriella said.

The two women ate. Once they finished, they put their dishes in the dishwasher and covered the leftovers and put them in the refrigerator.

"How are you feeling?" Maria asked.

"Fine. I haven't had any contractions since that night" Gabriella said.

"Good. Have you been resting?" Maria asked.

"Sort of. When Troy's at work, I have to watch the kids. So sometimes I have to run around" Gabriella said.

"You can always drop them off here and I can watch them, Gabi" Maria said.

"I don't want to put all of that pressure on you" Gabriella said.

"I'm their grandma. It's my job" Maria said.

Gabriella closed her eyes for a second and stopped talking.

"Gabi, are you alright?" Maria asked.

Gabriella took a deep breath and released it.

"Contraction" Gabriella said.

Maria nodded.

"Just relax okay? Do you need me to call Troy?" Maria asked.

"Yes" Gabriella said.

"Alright" Maria said.

Maria picked up her phone and dialed Troy's number.

"Hi mom. Is everything okay?" Troy answered.

"Hi Troy. Gabi had a contraction and she wanted me to call you and let you know" Maria said.

Troy tried to keep calm.

"Can I talk to her?" Troy asked.

"Yeah" Maria said.

Maria handed Gabriella the phone.

"Brie, are you okay?" Troy asked.

"I had a contraction" Gabriella said.

"How many have you had?" Troy asked.

"Just one so far" Gabriella said.

"Okay. Are you in any pain?" Troy asked.

"No" Gabriella said.

"Alright. Do you need me to pick you up?" Troy asked.

"No, I'm fine" Gabriella said.

"Okay. If you have any more call me" Troy said.

"Okay. I love you. I'll be home soon" Gabriella said.

"I love you too baby" Troy said.

The couple hung up. Gabriella looked at her mother.

"I think I should head home" Gabriella said.

"Do you want me to drive you?" Maria asked.

"Everyone needs to calm down. They are contractions. I'm fine. I just need some space" Gabriella said.

"I'm sorry for asking. I'm just worried about you" Maria said.

"I know you are. Troy is too. I just need some space" Gabriella said.

Gabriella kissed her mother goodbye and left the house. Before going home, she decided to make a stop at East High. She parked her car and went up to her and Troy's spot. Gabriella sat down on a bench and looked at the view that overlooked Albuquerque.

"Baby, why are giving mommy such a hard time, huh? You have been making daddy and I very worried about you. I know that you want to come out and see us and your brother and sister, but it's too early for you to come out" Gabriella said putting her hand on her bump.

Gabriella's cell phone rang and she looked at the caller ID, which read Troy.

"Hello?" Gabriella asked.

"Brie, are you okay? Mom said you left her house a while ago but you haven't come home yet" Troy said.

"I'm at East High at our spot. I needed some alone time" Gabriella said.

"Did something happen?" Troy asked.

"No. I just need some time to think about things" Gabriella said.

"Did I do something?" Troy asked.

"No" Gabriella said.

"Are you sure-" Troy started.

"Troy, I'm fine" Gabriella snapped.

"Okay" Troy said.

Gabriella sighed.

"I'm sorry for snapping at you" Gabriella said softly.

"No, it was my fault. I shouldn't have kept asking questions" Troy said.

"I love you Troy" Gabriella said.

"I love you too Brie" Troy said.

The couple hung up. An hour later, Gabriella was still sitting at the rooftop garden. She heard the door open behind her and figured it was a janitor, but a hand was placed on Gabriella's shoulder. Gabriella looked up.

"Is this seat taken?" Troy asked.

Gabriella shook her head. Troy sat down on the chair that was next to Gabriella's.

"I'm sorry for snapping" Gabriella said.

"It's forgotten. Want to tell me why you are up here by yourself?" Troy asked.

"I just needed some time to think" Gabriella said.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Troy asked carefully.

"I got mad at mom when I was at the house" Gabriella said.

"Why?" Troy asked.

"She kept asking questions and making sure that I was eating, and all this stuff. I'm six months pregnant. I'm not sick. Yes, I was in the hospital because I had Braxton-Hicks but I was fine for a week and now I had another today and everyone needs to know who I'm with, what I'm doing, where I am, why I'm doing something. I just feel like I'm suffocating with all of it. I love you and mom and everyone that has asked me and I think it's very thoughtful. But, there is a time when everyone just needs to let me be. I'm already scared enough to have this baby. I don't want to deal with that and all of this other stuff" Gabriella said with tears running down her face.

"I'm sorry that I made you feel that way. I didn't mean for it to be like that, babe. I just didn't want anything to happen to you or the baby. Now that you are only two and a half months away from your due date, I just want to be cautious of everything. I know that sounds crazy and a little overboard, but I'm scared too. I don't want anything to happen to you especially if I'm not with you. Do you understand what I'm saying Brie? I'm not trying to punish you for having contractions. That's not your fault. I just want to be careful" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"I guess I'm being a little selfish too. I didn't really think about how you felt about it. I'm sorry Troy" Gabriella said.

"You aren't selfish. You are pregnant. I didn't want to tell you how I felt because I didn't want to stress you out or upset you" Troy said.

Gabriella leaned her head against Troy's shoulder.

"Pregnant women are complicated" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled.

"I have no comment to that. I don't want to get in a fight. You are special and I wouldn't change anything. Even though this pregnancy has been a little crazy, I wouldn't have done it differently" Troy said.

"Me either" Gabriella said.

"I promise I'll back off a little bit. Not a lot. But, a little okay?" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"And I only do it because I love you Gabriella" Troy said.

"I know and I know that you grew up even more since the miscarriage. You don't have to prove it. You only do it because you want to make sure that I'm okay and that's what I love about you" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled.

"Thank you sweetheart. That means a lot to me. I wouldn't be doing what I am doing to try and gain control of you. I do it because I love you and want to take care of you" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded.

"So are we cool?" Troy asked.

Gabriella smiled and nodded.

"Can I kiss you?" Troy asked.

Gabriella giggled and pulled Troy in and kissed his lips passionately. Troy pulled back slowly and moved a stray hair away from Gabriella's face.

"I love you" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled.

"I love you too. Do you want to go back home or stay a little longer?" Troy asked.

"Go home. All this arguing and stuff made me tired and hungry" Gabriella said.

Troy chuckled.

"Craving anything in particular since we are out?" Troy asked.

"My husband" Gabriella smirked.

Troy stood still and closed his eyes. He tried not to laugh.

"Don't worry baby. I was only kidding" Gabriella said.

"So that wasn't a mood swing?" Troy asked incredulously.

"Troy! I'm hungry, let's go" Gabriella said taking his hand.

The couple got into their own cars and drove home. A couple weeks later, Gabriella was in the living room picking up a toy from the floor when she closed her eyes and put her free hand on her bump.

"Mommy, are you okay?" Grace asked.

"Grace, go get daddy" Gabriella said trying to make her voice sound like she wasn't in pain.

Grace ran upstairs and into the master bedroom.

"Daddy!" Grace said.

"What's wrong, Gracie?" Troy asked knowing something was wrong by her voice.

"Mommy is hurting" Grace said.

Troy's eyes widened. He went downstairs and Grace followed.

"Brie?" Troy called.

"Living room" Gabriella said.

Troy walked into the living room and kneeled down to Gabriella's level, who was lying on the couch.

"Another contraction?" Troy asked.

Gabriella nodded.

"Is it over?" Troy asked.

Gabriella nodded. Troy smoothed back Gabriella's hair.

"Just relax okay?" Troy said.

Gabriella nodded. Troy stood up and looked around the living room and didn't see Grace or Logan. He walked upstairs and went to Grace's room and poked his head in.

"Are you okay?" Troy asked.

"What's wrong with mommy?" Grace asked.

Troy smiled. He loved how protective Grace was of Gabriella. Troy walked over to the rocking chair that was in the corner of the room and motioned for her to come closer. Grace walked over to her father and Troy lifted her onto his lap.

"You know how mommy is going to have your baby sister?" Troy asked.

Grace nodded.

"Well, her body is getting ready for baby sister to come out. That's why she has been hurting" Troy said.

"I don't want her to hurt mommy" Grace said.

Troy smiled.

"She does it on accident. She doesn't mean to do it" Troy said.

"It's scary" Grace said.

"I know it is. But, we have to help mommy as much as we can okay?" Troy said.

Grace nodded.

"After baby sister comes she won't be hurting anymore?" Grace asked.

"No" Troy said.

Grace put her head on her father's chest. Troy gently rocked back and forth on the chair and rubbed Grace's back. He looked down and Grace's eyes start to get heavy. Gabriella poked her head into the room and looked at Troy.

"Is she okay?" Gabriella mouthed.

Troy just nodded. He carefully stood up and Grace's eyes opened. Troy looked at his daughter and smiled.

"Do you want to take a nap?" Troy asked.

Grace shook her head.

"There's mommy" Troy said moving so Grace could see Gabriella.

Grace looked at Gabriella, who smiled at her.

"Hi baby" Gabriella said.

"Mommy, did baby sister stop hurting you?" Grace asked.

Gabriella looked at Troy and shook her head. She sat down on the floor carefully and opened her arms. Troy put Grace down and watched her walk over to her mother and sit down in her lap.

"Gracie, baby sister is hurting me because she's helping my body to get ready for her to come out" Gabriella said.

"Does it mean she will come out soon?" Grace asked.

Gabriella nodded.

"Yeah. I'm sorry if I scared you" Gabriella said.

"It's okay mommy. Just don't scare daddy again" Grace said.

Gabriella giggled and kissed Grace's cheek. Troy, who was leaning against the door frame, chuckled at how thoughtful his eldest child was.

"Only if you continue to take good care of baby sister and I" Gabriella said.

Grace nodded excitedly.

"What is her name going to be?" Grace asked.

Gabriella looked at Troy, remembering that they still had to make that decision.

"I don't know yet baby. Daddy and I have to figure it out" Gabriella said.

"Gracie, why don't you pick a couple names and we will see if we like them?" Troy suggested.

"I can?" Grace asked.

"If you want to" Troy said.

Gabriella smiled. She thought it was sweet of Troy to include Grace in that decision.

"But, you can't pick your own name" Gabriella said.

Grace nodded. Troy smiled.

"Alright, mommy needs to go lie down for a little bit okay?" Troy said.

"But I thought mommy was okay?" Grace asked.

Troy looked at Gabriella and shook his head.

"Your child. It's like she's a clone" Troy joked.

"Daddy" Grace said trying to get his attention.

Troy looked at Grace and smiled.

"Mommy is okay, Grace. She just needs to rest. I promise. If something was wrong, I would tell you sweetheart" Troy said.

"Okay" Grace said.

Gabriella smiled.

"Go downstairs and play" Troy said.

Grace left the room. Gabriella looked at Troy and smiled.

"That was sweet of you" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled.

"I think that because she's the oldest, she can have a say in what we name the new baby" Troy said.

"I like that idea" Gabriella said.

"Logan can name the next one" Troy said.

"The next one?! Troy, how many kids do want to have?" Gabriella asked.

"We always talked about having a big family" Troy said.

"Yeah, but that was before we got pregnant with Grace and I'm still pregnant with this one" Gabriella said.

"Well, we still have time. We are young" Troy said.

Gabriella shook her head. A couple weeks later, Gabriella had an appointment with Dr. Brand. Troy couldn't make it because Maria couldn't watch the kids because she had work and Jack was at school. Gabriella was seven months pregnant and ready for the baby to come. She was anxious about it but she just wanted her daughter out. Gabriella walked into the house.

"Troy?" Gabriella called.

Troy walked into the living room and smiled.

"What did she say?" Troy asked.

"She said that she's okay. I booked the hospital and did all of that stuff" Gabriella said.

"Did you tell her about all the contractions that you have been having?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. She said that she may come early if I am having so many, but we have to wait and see" Gabriella said.

Troy nodded.

"She said to rest" Gabriella continued.

"Anything else about the delivery?" Troy asked.

"No" Gabriella said putting her hand on her bump.

"Okay. Sorry I couldn't be there baby. I wanted to" Troy said.

"It's okay" Gabriella said.

"Daddy, I picked a couple of names for baby sister" Grace said.

"Ooh. What are they?" Troy asked.

Gabriella sat next to Troy. Troy put Gabriella's feet in his lap and started massaging his wife's swollen feet.

"Madeline but Maddie for short, Emma, and Elmo" Grace said.

Gabriella laughed at the last one.

"Sweetheart, we can't name the baby Elmo. That's a boy's name" Gabriella said.

"I like Emma. What do you think of that babe?" Troy asked looking at Gabriella.

"Emma Bolton. I like it. That's definitely one to go on the list" Gabriella said.

"Is that baby sister's name?" Grace asked.

"We'll see Gracie. Daddy and I have to talk about it" Gabriella said.

"Okay" Grace said.

Gabriella put her hand on her bump and smiled.

"Grace, do you want to feel baby sister kick?" Gabriella asked.

Grace nodded.

"Come here baby" Gabriella said.

Grace walked over to her mother.

"Put your hand here and let's see if she will kick" Gabriella said.

Troy smiled as he watched the two girls. He was pulled out of this thoughts when he heard Grace giggle.

"Feel that?" Gabriella asked.

Grace nodded.

"She's saying hi" Gabriella said.

"It tickles" Grace said.

"Yeah" Gabriella said.

"I want her to come out now mommy" Grace said.

"I know you do. So do I, baby. But we have to wait a little longer" Gabriella said.

The couple and Grace continued to talk about the new addition to their family and couldn't wait for her arrival.
