Chapter 42- Baby Shower

"Troy! Are we almost done?" I begged of him, I have been dragged around for the last three hours. I had no idea what he was doing.

"Brie! Chill, I have one more stop to make!" He said he had taken me to the bank, the hospital to pick up more applications that were filled out, the AT&T store, Target, my golly are we almost done.

"Where to now?" I asked

"The gym, I have to pick something up then I promise you we can go home." He said turning the car heading towards Laker gym.

"What did you forget?" I asked him, he smiled and then looked over at me, "Gabi you don't want to know"

I gave him a look, "What would you need to go back for today that couldn't wait till later?" I asked

He smiled again and turned on his blinker on, "I need to clean out my locker, I swear I have the messiest one" He admitted, I starred at him.

"Are you serious? I mean come on why can't we go home?" I whined, he only chuckled, I crossed my arms and we pulled into the parking lot nobody there.

Troy got in with his electric pass, we walked through the silent halls together and we came to the end of the hallway and into the locker room. It smelled horrible.

"Gross." I muttered, I pinched my nose and he only nodded in agreement. We walked over to locker number 14 and his spun the combination and clicked it open.

"Oh my, Troy this is disgusting!" I told him, he only shrugged his shoulders, "Hey I just toss me stuff in and leave!" He said, "I see that" I said bending over and grabbed a moldy sandwich.

"Troy this looks like your locker from high school, minus the books" I mumbled, "There was never any books in my locker" He said laughing, I only rolled my eyes and he kept laughing.

I grabbed his bag out of his locker and set it aside, I then tossed his deodorant, a pair of sweats, a t-shirt, his beanie, extra phone charger, and his Laker pass all into his gym bag. Troy was in the process of throwing all of his stuff away in his locker. I looked into it to see it looked much cleaner. I shoved some clothes into his bag that needed to be washed.

I then saw a picture of Troy and I, I smiled and I let my fingers trace it. It was on the beach last summer, before the Lakers, and before the baby. Then right next to it was a sonogram for the baby. Aww… "Troy!" I said, he turned around and looked at what I was looking at. "Like it?" He said smiling

"Yes" I told him, I rubbed my belly and Troy finished what he was doing. He then grabbed my hand and shut his locker door. "Ready to go home?" He asked glancing at his watch, I nodded my head and we walked out of the gym. Troy getting his way out with his special key then we were back into the parking lot to see the Lakers physical trainer Gary parking his car.

"Troy! What are you doing here?" Gary said picking his bag out of the car. "Cleaning out my locker," He said, Gary nodded his head. "I could ask you the same, I was wondering why you were here" Troy said flipping his car keys in his free hand.

"A coaches meeting. How are you fingers and wrist?" He asked Troy, his wrist and fingers were still tape together. He hurt it again during his three games away. This time a little more than last time, he had to sit out on the last three practices since they had another five-day break.

"Good, good. I am doing better getting to hang with my lovely girlfriend" Troy said making his arms wrapped around me. I smiled and Gary smiled at us both.

"Enjoy these last months or so of freedom" He said winking at us, I smiled and Troy let his hand run over my bump. "We will but somebody is dying to go home" He said winking at me, I only rolled my eyes and Gary laughed. We saw two cars drive up through the gate.

"We better head out before I get dragged into more talk" Troy said Gary nodded and we both got into the car after waving. We waved to the coaches as we left.

I looked at the dash to see it was eleven, I sighed and we headed home. We got into our neighborhood to see it quiet as usual. We pulled into the garage and I looked down at my summer dress I was wearing, my flats and my little sweater.

"Come on babe" He said, I got out of the car we headed inside, Oreo came and greeted us at the door, and I smiled and petted the top of her head.

"Hey baby girl" I said, she took off barking and Troy put his hand on the small of my back, he directed me towards the upstairs.

"So I thought about you and me hanging out for a little bit" I said, he only smiled back at me we then walked up the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Gabi do you mind going to get that play book out of the living room?" Troy asked as we walked down the hallway towards the kitchen.

"Mhm…sure I will be right back" I said as I passed the kitchen Troy turned into the kitchen as I made my way to the living room.

"Surprise!" Was yelled as I entered the room, I jumped back a little to see many people in this room. Most of the Laker team, Troy, the gang, Troy's parents, Kyle, Jenni, my aunt and uncles from my dad's side, a few of my cousins. The Lakers wives, kids a lot of people.

I felt the tears shine in my eyes, "Aww guys! This is amazing!" I said I felt my cheeks blush and Troy stepped to my side.

"Come on people lets get this party started!" somebody yelled, I felt my body relax again as music started to play. I looked around to see the pink and blue streamers, the presents all laying out. The food laying out my guess that Zeke all made. Therefore, my guess is that it would be good food.

"Do you like it?" He whispered into my ear, I smiled from ear to ear. "How could I not Troy? Its amazing, thanks"

"Hey, don't thank me thank Sharpay and Taylor"

"Why shouldn't I be surprised?" I teased, "My boyfriend would never do this!"

He chuckled and we made our way around the room, "Uncle Tommy!" I cried I gave him a big hug.

"Gabriella! I did not even know you were pregnant until Sharpay called me! How could you keep such a thing?" He asked me, I slowly let my head drop.

"My mom wasn't very happy and she brought up the whole dad thing," I said quietly, he nodded shortly, it is all right but I am happy to be getting another great niece or nephew like you! Especially with the famous Troy Bolton! How are you doing son?" My uncle asked my boyfriend.

"Good, great" Troy said, "That's good! How is your wrist and fingers?" He asked

"I am so not used to that, I mean like everybody knows." Troy said laughing, "But they are healing better." Troy told him, he nodded with a great smile. My aunt Lisa walked over and stood next to Tommy.

"Gabi! You look wonderful!" She said, I blushed and Troy rubbed the middle of my back.

"Thank you! How is Toby and Mallory?" I asked

"They are doing well; Toby is in his senior year of high school, Mallory just starting high school. Kind of a whirlwind." She said laughing

"I guess I get to experience that now huh?"

"Oh yes you do but cherish the first few years, they are the best ones." She said smiling at me with her large smile.

"Will do, but I gotta keep making my way around?" I said with a smile, they both nodded and we kept our way around.

I talked to all of my cousins, I talked to the Lakers, I talk to the gang, and I talked to everybody.

I made my way over to the food and I picked at the dips Zeke had made, most of them were my all time favorites. There was a cake of Troy and I with the sonogram. I only shook my head briefly until Sharpay's voice echoed throughout the house.

"Game time!" She yelled, everybody come into the living room while I talk to the mother to be!" Sharpay said, I gulped and Troy kissed my forehead before leaving to the living room.

"You are just gonna leave me with her?" I asked him, he only gave me a wink before he left. Sharpay then entered the kitchen shutting the doors.

"Ok, I am going to give you a brief run down on the games and I also need you to fill a few things out also." She rambled; I only nodded and sat down.

"First game is like a guessing game, what you think the baby is going to have. You fill out a sheet and then the rest of the guests fill our sheets, who ever get the closest gets a prize!" Sharpay said handing me a paper, I took it and looked it over. I smiled knowing this would be good.

"Sharpay what if I can't decide?" I asked her, she looked at me and then nodded her head, "You can put both, and I will just have to tweak the rules a bit" She said, I nodded and went back to my writing.

"Ok Sharpay, I am done now. I really liked that last question," I said to her, she only shrugged and then she started to explain the next ones.

"Ok, we are also going to play purse scavenger hunt, all the ladies were told to bring a purse and partners will be there team player." Sharpay started, "So pick 15 things to be found in there purse" Sharpay told me, she had a piece of paper in front of her.

I told her everything and she nodded, we then started the next game idea. There was another game I did not get to know about. When we were done, we went out to the living room and then I sat down in-between Troy's legs.

"Alrighty, ladies, guys!" She said they all turned her attention to her. "We are going to play the first game. Just a few moments ago, Gabi filled out a sheet. She had to decided what she wanted the baby's traits to be. She either marked Daddy Troy, Mommy Gabi, and both. Therefore, you can do that for any all right. So I am going to pass out the papers and pins, fill them out and put them in the basket up here." She said pointing to them; Taylor and Chad were sitting over in the corner by the basket.

"Also Gabi, don't help lover boy out" She said, I only blushed, "His answers shouldn't even count!" somebody yelled, most likely Luke.

"Fine, but I am still giving him one. Gabi you can laugh at his stupid answers probably" She said, I giggled and she handed them all out. When Troy got his he read them over. "Eyes would go to me knowing you, hair me, legs me, mouth you, nose you, ego…that is a big time me!" Troy said, I laughed. He only looked at me, "Think what you want Troy" I said patting his cheek. He only gave me his look.

"Don't give me the look!" I told him, he only shrugged his shoulders. When this game was over and all the answers were turned in, Sharpay gave out the answers.

"Ego was you? Really Gabi?" He said to me, I smiled and he kissed my lips. Typical Troy.

"Alight Ladies! Pull out your purse! Guys, hang over with your spouse and you can be a team!" The boys all looked confused but the girls were all squealing. It was a favorite game at any party.

I looked up at Troy who was massaging my stomach, which felt good. The baby's soft kicks felt good against my tummy.

"Okay! Everybody ready? The people with the most stuff on the list will win a prize, if there is a tie we have some pretty crazy ones," Sharpay said giggling, I laughed and Troy kissed the top of my head.

"Alright, first on the list is a Library Card" Shar said, the girls rummaged through there bag. They only had thirty seconds to find whatever.

I saw hands fly up with there library cards, "Time!" Shar yelled

They all marked on there sheets, "Okay the next one is a Passport"

Another thirty seconds, five people actually had there passports. "Wow, I didn't think that one was going to have there passports"

We did another three things, nail polish, nail clippers, and scissors. "Okay boys! You have to find this one!" Sharpay said giggling, "And girls if you don't have a guy here then go ahead and play"

Troy poked my side and looked at me, "What is it?" He asked

"You'll see" I said, he only gave me a hard look. "Alright boys ready?"

"Yes…" They all said attentively, "Tampon!" Sharpay screeched, the all groaned and they remerged through the purse. "Found it!" Chad yelled, I laughed as he was waving one of Taylor's tampons around. Her face was completely red.

"Alright Chad, we got it" Sharpay said holding up her thumbs; he only nodded and sat back down. The rest of them found them and we finished the game with Luke and Sam winning.

"Congrats!" I said hugging them both, Sharpay then directed all of us to the screen. I looked at her for a moment. The screen started to roll in.

There was a picture of my mom Pregeant, I blushed knowing it had to be with me, and then a picture of Lucille popped up with a sign holding it is a boy. I felt Troy's body heat turn up, I giggled and I squeezed his hand. Then there was one each of our births, every birthday. Like when we got together, at parties, basketball games, decathlons, at the beach, at the parent's house. Then a picture of when I found out when I was Pregeant. Our first baby pictures, Troy playing for the Lakers, me in the stands. Pictures of me Pregeant of every few months, then it ended saying to be continued.

"Aww…Sharpay that was really cute!" I said getting up to hug her, she smiled and gave me a hug back. Troy gave her a quick hug and then he was by my side again. We went around talking again eating more food.

"Alright so we are going to do presents, if you would like to go be more than welcome to if you would like to stay for presents again, you choice!" Shar said, I smiled slightly and I grabbed Troy's hand.

"Come on! You get to open them too!" I told him dragging him away from Zeke and Chad. I pulled him into the living room where quiet a few people were sitting. We took a seat on the couch and he rubbed my stomach again. Something he would do every night in bed.

"Okay Gabs, Taylor and I will keep track of everything you go" Sharpay said, I nodded and I picked up the first one. It was from Lucille and Jack; I sent them both a smile knowing they probably got something good, I then saw it was for Troy. I giggled.

"Troy why don't you open this one" I told him, he nodded and took it. He looked at whom it was from and gave them a smile just as I did.

"This is from my parents" Troy said, he turned it over and opened it. What sat there was a hamper; on top of the hamper was Laundry for dummies, Daddy 101, and a frame where along the side it said nobody loves me like my daddy. I smiled it was cute. It would match the room since it was brown, still waiting to be painted.

"Ha Ha very funny mom and dad" He said holding up the books, they laughed and I grabbed the one to me. It was a picture frame with I love you mommy on it. There was a pack and play and a few blankets.

"Thanks guys" I said, they both said they were welcome back.

We went through the rest of the gifts getting clothes, blankets, bottles, pacifiers, diapers, lots and many diapers. Onsie, three Laker onsie all says something different, one said Kobe's favorite number 3, Danforth favorite! and Lakers number one fan. We got a high chair, baby monitories, baby Advil and all that medicine. A thermometer, a few movies, Target gift cards, money, and some gift cards out to dinner.

"Thank you everybody who is here!" I said, they all said your welcome back and everybody started to file out. One by one saying good-bye, them telling us to keep them updated. I nodded and thanked them all again. I felt my eyelids getting heavy and my head start to hurt.

"How you holding up Brie" Troy purred into my ear

"I am tired, can I go to bed?" I asked, he smiled at me softly and he grabbed my hand. I looked at the clock to see it was past seven at night. It had been such a long day.

"Yeah, come on lets go" He said, I said bye and thank you to the last few people still lingering. Troy guided me upstairs and into our bedroom. I slipped off my summer dress and into some of Troy's basketball shorts and his t-shirt. I brushed my teeth and took my make-up off and then I went to lie down.

"Go to sleep beautiful"

"Oh trust me I will," I tell him, he smiled and kissed my forehead. He exited the room while turning the light off and shutting the door. Oreo hopped onto the bed and cuddled next to me.

I closed my eyes and swayed on to sleep.
