Chapter 3- A pet?
Troy's POV
After a long day of contracting with lawyers, doctors, and my new coach I was tired. They all asked the same questions like ten times. I walked into our apartment to see all the lights off. This was strange Gabi was usually cooking dinner or doing homework but she was not here but I saw her car in her parking spot. I started to untangle my tie. She could have walked to the library, but she would have left a note. I finally got the tie off.
"Brie?" I sat down my gym bag and listened but heard nothing. Again strange she wasn't the quietist. I raced up the stairs almost tripping over my own feet. When I got to the bedroom the, the door was shut. The lights were off, TV was off. I opened the door slowly. When I looked in I saw Gabi under the blankets sleeping like a baby. I could also see my iPod laying on the bed. I sighed and let a smile coming over my sore face. I changed into shorts and a t-shirt after that, I brushed my teeth. I then walked over to the bed and layed down next her and wrapped my arms around her. I grabbed my iPod to see what song it was on, All-American Girl by Carrie Underwood. I turned it off and layed it on the nightstand. I then tucked a piece of hair behide her ear. I then kissed her forehead. I
Now, I don't speak Spanish, Japanese or French
But the way that body's talkin' definitely makes sense
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
The way she moves around
When she grinds to the beat
Breaking it down articulately
It's her, her body, her body, her body language
It's her, her body, her body, her body
"Shit" I mumbled under my breath. I quickly let go of Gabi and got out of bed. Gabi then began to stir awake. Oh please don't wake up, please. My phone continued to ring but I couldn't find it, anywhere. My shorts didn't have pockets and it wasn't on the nightstand and it is so loud.
"Troy?" I looked down at Brie. Damn it.
"Shh…go back to sleep." I said quietly walking back to her. My phone stopped ringing and I slipped my arms back around her waist.
"Mmm, I am hungry" She said half asleep.
"When did you eat last babe"
"Last night" I looked at her to make sure I heard right. I don't think I did, Gabi was the one in high school to always pig out with us boys. Still does.
"Last night at dinner," one we didn't have dinner as I thought about this.
She looked at me, her eyes open more "No I mean lunch."
"Gabriella!" Tears then welled up in her eyes. She hated being called Gabriella. Something to do with bullies, or something like that. She told me once but I got so mad I decided to forget about it.
"Oh I am so sorry Gabs, I didn't mean too but why haven't you eaten?" I asked bring her into a hug. She cried into my shoulder.
"Y-yesterday I had classes and homework and I was tired and after you left I went to sleep." She cried. I was surprised she never slept that much. Not even when she was sick. I could barely get her to sleep more than twelve hours. There was times where she would go to be and one and woke up the next day at like three but besides that nothing.
"Gabi what's wrong? You never sleep this much at all" I was really concerned, what if she is really sick?
"I can't" she mumbled
"What" She then wiggled out my embrace and ran out the door of the bedroom. Before my mind registered what happened she was gone, I heard the door slam. I got up and ran to the door. When I threw it open I saw it pouring rain. Crap. I took a step outside and looked both ways to see nobody. Where could have see gone. What did I do? Did I say the wrong thing? I just asked why she didn't eat.
I then climbed down the stairs and around the corner, when I looked again I saw crowds everywhere. Shit. I groaned loudly to myself, this was just great. I ran back to our apartment and again threw the door opened, I was a concerned boyfriend I have the right…I think. I then grabbed my cell phone, my awesome iphone, and I dialed my best friend's phone number. On the 2 rings Chad answered.
"Chad!"
"Whats up Troy I am a little busy" Whatever Chad, I just saw you like 30 minutes ago.
"Have you seen Gabi?" I asked franticly, in a panic.
"No…" he stretched out.
"I can't find her. My phone rang and she woke up and then she said she didn't eat and I got pissed and called her Gabriella and then I asked why and she…she ran off into the rain and-and she slept like the past day." I was ranting now, I couldn't stop.
"Troy"
"And I couldn't find"
"Troy"
"And I cant lose her man"
"TROY!"
"What?"
"Stop rambling" He laughed over the phone,
"Oh sorry but"
"No" Chad couldn't finishing sawing the word and I heard the doorbell ring. I knew it was her, she would always go to Taylor.
"I am on my way, don't tell her" I then hit the button to which my phone shut off with. I then raced to the door and forced it open. I shut it with great force and then I was running down the two flights of stairs. It was pouring rain. I cussed when I almost fell in a mud puddle. I was two blocks from Taylor's and Chad's house. I had a clear path right now. I saw Taylor's and Chad's house in view. I speed up just a little bit farther I said to my self. When I did get to there apartment I threw the door open to see Gabi in Taylor's arms sobbing and Chad not knowing what to do. Chad never knew what to do when I girl cried when Taylor did she bought her chocolate and watched a chick flick.
"Ella?" She looked up, her eyes looked tired and wore.
She just sobbed harder. "Tay can I please?" I begged
"Go ahead" She then got up and to be replaced by me. Gabi grasped my tightly.
"Brie baby what's wrong?" I asked close to tears myself scared to hell, that she knew something I didn't that was life threaten.
"Troy"
"Shh…baby It's me"
"I-I" She couldn't say anymore.
"Brie just calm down then tell me." I said softly. Her big brown eyes were looking at me, her tears still visible. I kissed her forehead. I looked over at Chad and Taylor who were standing there in shock. Not believing in my magic.
"Can we have?" Taylor spoke up before I could finish.
"Sure Chad let's go get some salads and dinner for all of us." Taylor shoved a coat at Chad and they run out the door. Wired, she knows something too, I looked back at Gabi who had silent tears rolling down her cheeks.
"You ready to talk?" I asked in a whisper, now that Taylor and Chad were gone.
She nodded and then sat up. I held her tight in my arms, I kissed the back of her neck.
"Troy you have to promise something." That scared me a little
"Ok what is it?"
"You can't get mad." She whispered
"Why would I get mad?" I would never get mad at my beautiful girl, I thought
"Just promise"
"Ok, I promise I won't get mad" I kissed her forehead.
"We are adding a new member to the family" She said in voice barley above a whisper, but did I hear it.
"You mean a pet?" She could have just told me, I have always wanted a pet.
"No"
It hit me like a ton of bricks "Your?" I asked pointing towards her tummy.
"Pregnant" She said tears already coming down her cheeks. I was shocked I couldn't speak.
"Troy I wouldn't care if you left just say so." She then let out a sob. I couldn't believe she even said that. The tears were now pouring out of her eyes. She got up and out of my lap, I then grabbed her hand and pulled her back down to my lap. I started to kiss away the tears that stained her face "Shh…Gabi its okay I am not going anywhere. I love you to death. I am so excited. Another challenge to come over, we have done many." I looked her dead in the eye.
"But the Lakers,"
"I can quit" I said quickly.
"You just signed today" She wailed, her arms flying everywhere.
"But I rather be with you then play basketball, any day in life."
"Troy don't, this is why I didn't tell you" She said getting off my lap, I didn't pull her back this time.
"Wait how long have you known?"
She sniffed "Since yesterday, I was going to tell you when I came home but you told me about the Lakers" Oh that's what she wanted to tell me.
"Oh I am so sorry you could have still told me"
"You wouldn't have signed" She did make a point. I sighed. I went up behide her and hugged her waist. She leaned her head in my chest while I kissed her hair. We stayed like this for a minute.
"I promise I will be the best dad slash basketball player every."
She sniffed again "You promise?"
I kissed her head "I promise" She turned around in my arms. I leaned down and kissed her on the lips.
"I have a question" she asked
"Yeah babe?"
"Can I attended practices?"
"I don't know but do you know who the coach is going to be?"
"Who?" I pulled her tighter "East Highs assistant coach from my junior year." I said. Her eyes went wide, we both loved couch Tyler.
"Really? Coach Tyler?"
"I guess and the other coach's are only a few years older than me, I bet you can probably watch me practice and this little one too." I then rubbed her stomach. This was something new…
"Troy?"
"Yeah?"
"You're going to be gone a lot" She then broke down crying again. I pulled her tighter.
"Shh…Gabi calm down its okay. I will see what I can do. Maybe for the early months you can travel with me." I rubbed her back. Where the hell was Tay and Chad, I need help here.
"Troy your first game is when I am six months pregnant" She shouted she tried to get out of my grip but I just tightened it. She isn't going anywhere.
"Your three months pregnant?"
"Yes" She whispered I pulled her to the couch and I thumped down. I sighed.
"I will figure it out Gabi, Trust me" I said I then heard the door open. Finally!
"Is it safe?" Taylor asked
"Tay of course it's safe. It's our house the worse thing that could have happened, we were only gone for what 20 minutes?"
"Make-up sex," Chad stopped short. Taylor and Gabi started giggling and I was laughing so hard.
"Its cool guys" I said with laughter still ringing in my voice. Gabi was still laughing, I loved hearing her laugh.
Taylor entered the room carefully. "Everything ok,"
"Yeah" we said in unison. We then laughed. "You want to tell?" I asked her, nudging her.
"Well Tay knows I don't know about Chad, Taylor might have told him"
"What does Chad not know?" Chad asked bring his head from the fridge. Same old Chad,
"I am pregnant" Taylor squealed and Chad had a shocked look come over his face.
"What the shocked face for?" I asked him
"I just thought you were getting a pet finally" Chad said shrugging and going back the fridge.
I laughed. "That's what I said" Two great minds think alike.
We all laughed. I kissed my girlfriend and then we ate dinner as one big group of a happy family.
YEAH she told him. Oh do I love Chad…lol. PLEASE REVIEW!
