Chapter 15- Utah
I pushed the final thing of clothing into my suitcase; Liam was six weeks old yesterday. "So you are going to Utah and…" Taylor tried to figure out what was going on in my crazy, insane, life. I turned my head slightly to look at her. I played with the zipper as I started to pull it.
"I am going to Utah with Liam to surprise Troy tonight, Jack and Lucille is going to meet us there where they will watch Liam after the game. Troy and I are going to go back to the hotel room and y'know but anyways after that Liam and I are going to go down to New Mexico to spend some time with the grandparents, we are spending the weekend down there with them."
"I wanna go! I can see my mommy and we should take Sharpay down because she could totally use a relaxation weekend!"
"Taylor you have that dress fitting that I am so sorry that I can not make it too but this is important," I pointed out to her, she frowned, "Oh yea and its okay I understand but you still need to try on your Maid of Honor dress, Sharpay's dress is going to to have to be altered." Taylor kept going on about the dresses, "Tay, whoa slow down before my head hurts." I told her
"But Sharpay is already going down to hell her parents and everything so I am going to be hanging out at the country club with her when she is not telling her parents," I said winking at her. She stuck out her tongue and I zipped the suitcase shut. "So Troyboy is getting a good night tonight huh?"
I giggled and I nodded my head, "Oh yea if that's what you want to call it, I am still very unsure about the whole thing. Like I want to and all but I am so nervous about getting pregnant."
"Why did you guys not do those days ago when he was here?" I shrugged my shoulders, "I am still having a hard time wanting to even do it, like I am still convincing myself that it will be okay and I will not get pregnant again." I took a deep breath, "I promised Troy once he was officially into playoffs and guess what, and they are." I said to her as I dropped the suitcase on the ground. "I am just so…nerve whacked, I love Liam I just don't want another one right now now for a little while. I do not know if I could handle another one"
"I promise it will all be good, did you go back on birth control?" Taylor asked me, I nodded my head, "At my month appt with the doctors. They cleared me to go back to the pill so I did and at the month one they are glad I was not having sex yet." I said looking at her, "Guess it was not good?" she questioned
"I guess but then yesterday for my 6 weeks they said everything was all clear and I can go back to my normal life, exercise and sex." I said giggling, "Well, have fun tonight." She said winking at me, "Oh yea, Troy is going to be excited. He is probably thinking once he gets home in four or five days is when it is going to happen. He has already been sending me text messages," I said rolling my eyes but Taylor laughed, "That's funny,"
"I know I was like oh boy…" I giggled and she laughed,
"Well congratulations, pick out something cute?" she asked wiggling her eyebrows, I looked down at my watch to see it was getting close to the point I need to be leaving, airports are too crazy for a baby and me. I was so ready for Liam to be walking.
"Well if you count a Victoria Secret dress…" I said to her, she squealed, "I have to see it!" I bit on my lip; it was the last thing I had put into the bag. I unzipped it before pulling it out, "Do you think this is too sexy for a basketball game?" I asked, her mouth dropped, "That is drop dead gorgeous." She said, "Purple but I would say a little too sexy for a basketball game but with your body and cute boyfriend I would defiantly say perfect fit."
"I will be wearing a white jacket over it for most of the game since gyms are freezing for some reason." I put the dress neatly back into the suitcase, "But I am having Chad be my helper, since Troy and I are going to be in one room he has it set up to sleep somewhere else, I'll have a key waiting for me at the front desk so I can change." I was going to have Lucille and Jack takes Liam to be settled in that room while I changed.
Taylor smirked, "My fiancée is so helpful," I giggled, "Only sometimes," I told her as I reshipped the suitcase. I reached over for my bag that held diapers and wipes, magazines, backup clothes, and some other stuff that I had for the plane ride. "He is this time because he is going to make this work for me, it was totally awkward telling Lucille why I wanted her to meet me up there."
"Uh probably, that could not have been easy."
I shook my head, "No but I better get going to catch my flight, there flight is supposed to land fifteen minutes after mine. Therefore, we are going to meet up and rent the same car. They are my babysitters tonight after the game, we are going to be sitting a few rows back from the bench, and once the game is over I will be sneaking into the locker room."
"Oh you devil," she joked, I giggled and I pulled the backpack over my shoulder. "I need to go get Liam from his room which he is finally sleeping put him in a car seat…" Taylor grabbed my suitcase, "I can put this in your car for you." She said tugging it towards the stairs, "Thank you you are wonderful my best friend." I said, she laughed making her down towards the lower level.
I walked down to the nursery where Liam was sleeping; Liam was doing better without Troy being there at his nighttime feedings or diaper changes. He would cry a little longer but not much. He was sleeping and eating a lot better as if suddenly he was going to just grow up, as since the first month is gone he does not have to be that little baby any longer.
I reached over his crib to pick up the sleeping baby; he cried as I picked him up but settled back down once he lay on my shoulder. I grabbed his blanket and I drifted it over his body. I walked down the stairs to see Sharpay sitting on my couch, "Well hello," I said looking at her as I walked towards the door going to the garage. She had on a pair of skinny jeans with a long t-shirt on.
"So you will be down in New Mexico this weekend?" she asked, I looked at her stomach and then her eyes. "Yea, do you want me to go with you to your parents?" I asked her as I opened the door, Oreo lapped around my feet. "Since Zeke can't come with me." She muttered, "Yea," her sad brown eyes looked up at me.
"I'll be there Pay," I said giving her a small smile, "Plus we are hanging out at the country club all weekend." I said giving her a grin, "I need some therapy," she said letting her hand run through her perfect blonde hair. "How are you feeling?" I asked her as I pushed Oreo away with my feet.
"Gross, I have thrown up four times today. I can not keep a single meal down and I am going to the doctors later today and then I have to pack."
"Hey do not stress yourself out again." I told her as I shifted Liam on my shoulder, "I know I just have so much to be thinking about and it makes my head hurt."
"You look a lot better than you were last week," I commented as I stepped down the stair, "That's good, I placed the outfit you got her in the drawer. Every morning I look at it and I hope it's a girl." Sharpay said sighing, I giggled, "You will be happy with either, I promise. As long as the baby is healthy and happy," I said winking at her, "But I gotta go. Love you, see you this weekend!" I slammed the door shut and I jumped down the stairs. Taylor stood behide my car closing the trunk, "Thank you," I sang to her as I placed Liam into his car seat. He stirred awake again before he settled into his car seat. I buckled him in and I placed the blanket over him. Pulling the umbrella thing over the top.
"Are you not happy that he stopped crying in the car?" she asked me as I shut his door, "Uh yea, that always scared me just a little bit, his face would get so red." I shook my head opening my car door, placing one foot in the door.
"I know, it scared me and I am only his favorite auntie! Have a fun trip! I will see you Sunday night?" I nodded my head, "Yup, Liam will be totally spoiled by his grandparents all weekend and I will be pampered by Lava Springs" I said giving her a small smile as I turned on the car. She laughed, "Well Chad's mom is flying into town this weekend so wish me luck with that."
"Have fun with that," I said nodding my head, she shut my door and I waved as I backed out. I had on a pair of Nike shorts with a Pink hoodie; the last airplane I was in it was freezing. I shuddered from the thought as I shut my garage door; I loved how I could just leave my best friends at my house for the weekend.
My cell phone rung as I past Kobe's house, "Brie!" was the first thing I heard as I answered the phone. "Hey babe," I said tucking the phone under my ear.
"We landed like ten minutes ago in Utah; we are heading to the hotel then to the gym." He said sighing, "And I can not wait for you and me once I get home on Monday." He whispered into the phone, "I know right, it will be such a great night watching Cars with Liam." I joked with him
"Ha-ha very funny, you have put me off to long lady." He said, I giggled and I pulled onto the highway. "Well you have to find a babysitter for your little boy, since I don't seem to find this short." I murmured
"I already have him going to Taylor's place, Chad said I could."
"Well I suggest you check with Taylor on that one, she and Chad might want to get it on." I told him, "Nah, he said he will take him even if Taylor does not."
"I do not know how much I trust him…" I told him, "Oh come on Gabs," Troy said, "I know, I know I promised once you made playoffs." I told him, "Exactly, it won't be that bad."
"It's not that Troy; it's the getting pregnant again."
"It won't happen Gabi, you went back on birth control," he said, I licked my lips, "And I was last time,"
"Did you not tell me you missed a week because they did not have your script?" I moved my jaw around, "Fine you win but still, I am scared of that Troy."
"I know you are baby," I bit on my lip, "But I love you,"
I laughed, "I love you too so how was the plane ride to Utah?" I asked him, "Fantastic."
"Well that's good."
I pushed Liam's stroller out onto the platform. Our plane had landed not but minutes ago and I was already off the plane. I pushed the stroller out of the gate. I headed towards baggage claim to only stop by the flight board.
There flight had just landed; I looked at the gate number for it to be two down from mine. I walked over to the gate so I could wait for Lucille and Jack to walk off the plane. They were trusting Jenni and Kyle for twenty-four hours to be good. They were going to call at random times to check up on them but Jenni and Kyle did not know that.
The gate door opened and people started fleeing from the doors. I looked for Jacks head since it would be the first thing I would see. Liam began to fuss so I pushed his stroller back and forth.
"There she is." Looking up I saw Jack and Lucille both walking towards me, "Hi!" I called to them, "I am so glad you decided to come down for the weekend. I never got the chance to see Liam when you guys were there last." She said giving me a hug; I hugged her back as I watched Jack mess with Liam.
"So how was your flight?"
"Okay, we hit turbulence pretty bad which Liam did not like." Jack came over to give me a kiss on the cheek. "So you ready to go to the hotel?"
"I just have to grab my luggage and then we can go." I said giving him a smile, "So do we," I nodded and we made our way over to the belts as luggage started to pop out. The purple bag popped out first, "There is mine," I said pointing it out; Jack made his way to grab it.
I stood back as they both waited for there is to come. Once it did, Jack took pride in taking his and mine. Lucille dragged hers behide on the tiny wheels.
"So do you have something for him to sleep in?" Jack asked as we headed for rental cars, "Erm we left that one at your house and for the hotel I was just going to put him in the snug bug thing. He seems to like sleeping in it and it fit in my suitcase." I told them, "That's great," Lucille said, "Is he still pretty bad in the middle of the night."
"Uhm, kind of." I bit on my lip, "I feel bad for just handing him to you."
"Please don't, I do not mind at all. I understand that you and Troy both need a break."
I felt like I was just on a break and then this weekend, "Honey, we do not get to see him very often. It is no problem if we watch him during the day. He is to cute not to dote on!" she claimed, I giggled and Jack came back with a set of car keys.
We piled the luggage in the car, I got Liam's car seat all done and the stroller shoved in the back. We all got in and Liam was awake, "He probably needs to eat before we leave."
"While you get ready I will feed him." I took a deep breath, "Lucille you seriously do not have to do that."
"But I want to; if I did not want to I would not offer." She joked; I gave a smile as I let Liam touch my finger. He pulled on it with his hand and I rubbed it against his face. I leaned forward giving him a kiss on the cheek. "You are my cute boy," I murmured
Not but ten minutes later we pulled into a hotel parking lot, Jack bumped over the speed bump getting into the hotel before pulling up to the door. "Liam should have a made bottle in the diaper bag already. He will probably fall asleep since he spent a lot of his time crying on the flight today."
"See you are already in need of a break. Just let the grandparents do there job." She patted my back and I shook my head. Jack had gotten out of the car to check in but was out quickly, "Gabi they gave me the key to Troy's room, room 534." He said handing me the card. "Yay," I cheered as I stuffed it in my hoodie pocket.
Jack found a parking spot and I unbuckled Liam from his car seat, Lucille opened the door and she pulled him out. She looked so at ease, "You are getting such a big boy!" she told him, I gave a soft smile as I left the car. Grabbing my suitcase and the stroller, I made the way to the door. "Meet back down here in an hour!" Jack called after me, I nodded my head, "Do you guys want the?"
"I'll come down to get in about thirty minutes," he said, "Alrighty," I waved bye to Lucille and Liam as I headed for the elevator. Nerves twisted in my stomach, guilt built in my body, "Its alright, I can leave my baby ever now and then." I took a deep breath as I got onto the elevator.
I pushed the fifth floor and away it went. I smoothed my lips together as I tried to control my breathing. Once the elevator doors opened, I walked out. I made my way down the hall towards room 534. I pulled the key out of my pocket as the door came into sight.
I pushed the key it granting me access quickly. I pushed the door open to see Troy's duffle bag lying on the ground. His stuff spread out onto the counter, the TV left on ESPN. For only being here for thirty minutes, it was dirty and it looked like he was going to be here for a week. Chad's stuff was not even in the room. I shook my head as I dropped the suitcase on the bed.
I pulled out my dress, a strapless bra, with a pair of Victoria Secrets underwear. I bit on my lip; tonight was going to be fun. I had nothing to worry about. I was on birth control we have condoms. It will all be perfectly fine.
I grabbed a towel from the hotel room, locked the door, and I turned on the showerhead. I took a fifteen-minute shower that included shaving my legs. I was out to dry off as a knock came at the door, "Shit," I grumbled, "Coming!" I called; I swung the bathroom door open.
I went running to the suitcase to grab the snug a bunny thing for Liam to lie down in. I looked at the clock to see I had thirty minutes to get ready. I went over to the door and I opened it up quickly to reveal Jack.
"Hey," I said handing it over to him, "Remember thirty minutes," he said tapping at his wrist that held no watch, "Got it." I told him as I started to shut the door. "You might want to put clothes on!" he yelled, "Bye Jack!" The door shut and I locked it. I quickly put on my undergarments while slipping a pair of shorts on.
Going into the bathroom I put on my makeup, blew dried my hair, and I clipped it back for the time being. I did not want to look to sexy with a kid on my hip. Pulling out my dress I looked at it once more, I smiled as I slipped it over my head, it attached it self to every curve I had to show off. Letting a little cleavage show off, grinning I quickly added a necklace, grabbed my white jacket and slipped on a pair of black heels.
I grabbed my purple purse slinging it over my shoulder and I stepped out of the hotel room. I made sure the bed was clear and I escaped from the room. I pursed my lips together smoothing the lip-gloss on them apart. I pushed the down on the elevator and it opened up revealing my son and his grandparents.
"If you were my daughter, I think I would be on fire." Jack commented as I walked onto the elevator, "Well I am glad I am not your daughter." I looked at Liam's sleeping face as he cradled against Lucille. "She looks beautiful Jack,"
"We are going to a basketball game!"
"Oh shush it you too. Liam is finally sleeping," I pointed out to them; they both gave each other a glance before the elevator dinged. It opened up to reveal other Laker fans getting ready to go to the game.
We walked past all of them, "I changed Liam into his Laker onsie with Troy's name on the back."
"Thanks so much for doing this Lucille," I commented giving her a small smile,
It was a fifteen-minute ride to the stadium they were to play at tonight. I showed my Laker pass, which got the family free, tickets to every game, as long as you had one of the three passes he gives out. He gave on to me, his dad, and to Mason. We got our tickets making our way inside.
My heels clicked against the ground, I pulled my white jacket on as soon as we got into the building. I had Liam's car seat on my arm as he continued to sleep through the madness. I pushed through screaming fans, food vendors, and more people as we came to our seats. Fifteen or so rows back from the bench.
I was settled as Jack stood on the stairs, "Do you want anything to eat?" I looked down at my magical dress, "Nah but thanks anyways." I told him, he nodded before bouncing up the steps.
I rocked Liam's car seat back and forth while we sat there waiting for the game to begin. Some of the players were already out on the floor. Luke and a few of the other guys were passing the ball around as a warm-up but were called back into the locker room. The other team was standing by there tunnel as they called it.
"Alright ladies and gentleman lets introduce our visiting team, the Los Angles Lakers!" he yelled, the crowed was about fifty with the boos and the yays. The guys came running out on the court with there warm up suits on, Troy and Chad were close together talking but Chad's eyes lifted to the stands. He quickly found me, "Wow," he mouthed
I pretended to flick him so he turned away focusing on the layups and jump shots. They introduced the other team and all the starters. I thought the crowd of girls near the end was going to die when the called Troy's name. He just gave then all a flickering smiles before he would wave. I giggled at his reaction to the fans.
"Luc here is you food," Jack said handing her a pretzel; Jack had a hotdog in his hands with a bag of chips. He had brought back a big bottle of water to last through the game. I smoothed out my dress as they all began to take off there warm-up suits. They kicked them to the side or pushing them under chairs. They huddled together, the yelled Lakers before having there starters out on the court.
The ref tossed the ball into the air and for Troy to leap forwards to push the ball towards Ron. Ron bounced the ball to pass it to Chad, who passed it to Kobe who dribbled it down court; he tossed it to Troy for a second for Troy to pass it back. More dribbling and then Kobe went up for a shot but missed; Troy rebounded the ball, went up for a shot and swooshes. Through the net it went. He ran his fingers through his hair and winking, our little sign. I giggled and they all high-five Troy, Chad gave me a knowing look.
The final buzzer rang through the building. The shot Troy tried to put up in a desperate attempted missed the hoop by a good four feet. The Lakers had lost to Utah 93-89. I took a deep breath and I looked over at Lucille, "I'll call you tomorrow morning. Troy will want to stop by to see you guys and Liam." I said over the roaring crowd, the Laker quickly filed out of the gym.
"Alright, our flight leaves at noon tomorrow." Jack said looking at me, he looked a little disappointed but nothing a night with Liam could not fix. "It's the same time Troy leaves tomorrow, that's what Chad told me at least." I said I kissed Liam's forehead. "Bye buddy be good for Grandma and Grandpa." I kissed him once more before handing him over to Lucille. "Thanks again," I told her for the thousandth time.
"Gabi, seriously its no problem." She said I waved goodbye as I made my way onto the court. I pulled out my Lakers pass. I ditched the white jacket and had it in my purse. I pulled my hair down so the waves could lie on my shoulders neatly. I took off the necklace and placed it in my purse.
"The Lakers pass could get you into any locker room to see your player, but if you were a girl they had to warn. I walked closer to there locker room when a person stopped me.
"Nobody past this point," I waved my Lakers pass and he took a look at it, "When you warn them can you please just say a Laker wife, I am kind of surprising." I said looking at him, he nodded his head and talked into a warlike talkie. "Just keep going down this hall and to the right." He said, "Thank you,"
I kept walking down the hall until I had a chance to turn right and there was the locker room. I opened the door quietly to see Troy was one of the first ones standing there. He was slipping on a clean shirt of his sweaty body, his purple shorts still riding on his hips. I licked my lips and I went up from behide, I pulled my hands over his eyes. "Guess who." I whispered trying to reach his ear. He did not move for a second before he pulled on my hands, "Brie…?" he questioned, I bit on my lip as he turned his head around.
"You are a good guesser!" I exclaimed his blue eyes widened a bit before he took a step back. He jaw dropped and I took a step forward, I put my hand under his jaw and I pushed up on it. "No need to let your mouth hang up lover boy." I whispered to him. He wrapped his arms around my waist, "Oh my, what are you doing here?" he exclaimed
"I came to surprise you plus your parents were already going to come up so they are watching Liam for the night." I said letting my lips fall onto his but Troy pulled back, "Liam's here?" he questioned
"He already left with your parents; they are staying in the hotel though." I tried to kiss him again but he set me down, I frowned to yet have a kiss. "Hello do I get a kiss?" I asked him crossing my arms.
"Of course you will but if I do that now I don't think I will be able to stop." He said looking me in the eye, I grinned and I only shook my head. "So when did you get here?"
"About an hour and half before the game started. I got to spend an hour in the hotel and we got here about fifteen minutes before the game started." I told him as I sat down; the guys around us were just finishing changing.
"So you are staying in the same hotel as us?"
"I was in your room," I told him, he raised an eyebrow, "Chad left me a key," I said
"Oh,"
"There's the girl who likes to surprise her boyfriend!" Chad said coming to give me a big sweaty hug, "Ah, come on Chad!" I said as the wetness pressed through my dress.
"Lakers! We are all going out to dinner tonight, no ifs and ors buts!" The coach called, Troy wanted to protest but I grabbed his hand, "I am absoutly starving, I promise you food might just be a good thing." I said rubbing my stomach with my other free hand.
"Good because I am pretty hungry myself but I could have waited since you look drop dead gorgeous." He whispered, "I am going to die if you do not give me a kiss." I murmured to him, he grinned and swooped down to let his soft lips lock onto mine. "Oh you two need to get a room." Chad mumbled walking away.
I pulled back from Troy and I let our foreheads touch, "I love you Mr. Bolton." I whispered
"I love you too Ms. Montez." I pecked his cheek and he pulled back, I grabbed a pair of jeans that were hanging up in the thing. He pulled them off to pull off his basketball shorts. He changed into jeans before he slipped on a pair of tennis shoes. He grabbed all his jerseys laying them out on the chair.
"Do you not have to grab those?"
"Nope, the locker guys will pick up all our uniforms and send them off." He said reaching for my hand. With heels on, I barely reached Troy's shoulders.
"So what made you to really decide to come down here?" Troy asked as we made our way to the bus, "Can I not surprise my boyfriend?" I asked him
"You could but I know that's not it."
"I owe you Troy, I really do." I said giving him a smile, "Well I would not put it as owe," he pulled me closer to his body. "Coach there will be two of me."
"Oh Lord two Troy Bolton's?" Coach said, "Nope, I got my girl." Troy said as we walked bye, he laughed, "Thanks Bolton," Troy guided me on the bus. I stuffed his bag in the overhead compartment and he sat down. I quickly slide onto his lap, "Your dress is stunning on you." He said letting his chin rest on my shoulder.
"I am glad you enjoy it."
"So where were you sitting the entire game."
"Just fifteen rows behide you but I was wearing a few different things." I said letting my nose press against his cheek, "Interesting, so how is Liam?" he asked me, "Wonderful," his hand held onto my back, "Okay we are going to a fancy steakhouse down the road that offered to take us in if we sign a few autographs." I looked to see the coach walking down the aisle.
"You should have my parents meet us so I can see Liam for a little bit." He murmured, "Are you sure? You can not act like a sex crazed teenage boy in front of my kid or your parents." I warned him, "I will get it together, I promise but you are so beautiful." I pulled out my cell phone to call Jack.
"Hey have you guys left yet?" I got him on the second ring, "No, we just got back to the car." He said I heard Liam fussing in the background. "Do you want to meet us at the steakhouse that's like down the street?" Troy looked towards his Coach asking the name but he just pointed.
"Oh, out to dinner huh?" Jack said, "Team thing but Troy wants to see Liam for a bit and maybe his parents." I said shrugging my shoulders. "Yea, we can meet you guys there. Sounds good too, I will just look for a steakhouse down the street." I giggled and I gave Troy the phone.
"Hey Dad it's the one…" I drowned out the rest of the conversation as I let my headrest against his shoulder. This was us in high school except I did not have this worried guilt building in my stomach not knowing if Liam was okay. Troy ran his fingers through my hair, "This reminds me a lot of high school except my dad was on the bus." He said laughing; I reached for my phone that was in his hand.
"I know, I was thinking the same thing. I also was not completely worried about Liam."
"Were you worried when he was with me?" Troy asked I turned my head a little to look into his blue eyes. "Sorta. Its not that I do not trust others its just I do not want anything every happening to him."
"That is why I am glad you are always with him, I do not have to worry as much." He joked kissing on my cheek, "But it will get better, he drove me insane today."
"How?" he asked, "Crying the whole plane ride here, I thought the flight attendant was going to kill me." I said as I played with the hem of Troy's shirt.
"Bolton did I hear you have more coming?" Tyler peered over as he was on his cell phone, "Uh yea my parents and Liam." He responded, "We can sit at a different table."
"They were going to split us up anyway." Tyler said as he began to speak into his phone once more. "I can not wait until we get back to that hotel."
"I just hope we are not next to any teammates or coaches," I murmured
"None," he said pressing his lips against mine, "Your right, it's hard to stop once I know." I said letting my hand run down his shirt. He grinned as his hand held my back. "You two should really wait to get it on." Tyler said now off the phone, "You are worse than Chad," Troy commented looking up at him. I felt the bus stop and turned to see us here. I got up and I pulled my hair back, slipped a headband in. I grabbed my white jacket and the necklace putting it all back on.
"Whoa, what happened to my super hot badass?" Troy asked as he got off the bus looking at me, "She just became a mom again," I said as Lucille carried Liam's car seat, Troy's eyes followed mine a grin slipping onto his face. "I guess I just became Mr. Super Dad again." He said reaching for my hand.
We walked towards Lucille who handed me the car seat as we came closer. She embraced Troy into a hug while I pulled Liam up closer to my face. His peaceful face still in a nice slumber, "Great game son," Jack said pulling Troy in for a fatherly hug. "Only if we won." We walked towards the restaurant as the last of the people filed in.
"Let me see him!" Troy whined, "Wait until we get seated, he is sleeping anyway." I said leaning against him, "Okay can I at least carry the car seat?" he asked, I handed it over and he looked like he was about to jump for joy.
"This makes this night all the better." Troy said as we stepped into the building, I shook my head as we were quickly seated. Right across from us in spitting and talking distance was Kobe, Luke, and Ron. I scooted in the booth to let Troy have the edge. Once he was seat, he sat the car seat on the table and was already pulling Liam out.
"Dude did you grow in the last three days?" Troy asked him picking him up; I shook my head as Lucille put the car seat on the ground. "He doesn't stop growing anymore. We have a checkup this coming Tuesday for him." I said
"I won't be home until the 9th." He said looking down at his growing boy; I let my hand grab his small foot as I rubbed it. He slowly began to wake up from his slumber. Troy grabbed his hand and waved it back and forth.
"Hey buddy," Troy said, it had been three days without each other and this was there bond. Liam would not want to leave Troy at the end of this night.
I looked over at Lucille, "I can not believe I am already a Grandma," she dapped at her eyes, I had a hard time myself knowing it was hard to overcome the fact that I was a mom. "I know I felt like on that bus we were in high school all over again. Dad just wasn't there to tell Gabi to get off my lap."
Jack chuckled as he picked up a water sitting on the table, "But then it's like, I have this amazing job, a wonderful baby boy, and an amazing girlfriend." I gave him a smile but the word fiancée echoed in the back of my mind. One of these days, I would have a ring on my finger, one of these days.
"True all of that," Jack said, I looked around to see all the Lakers ordering drinks or food. Some were on the phone others were talking with the rest of the group about the game earlier but I was sitting with my boyfriend, with my son and his grandparents. For once, I felt like a complete family.
I leaned against Troy's shoulder; Troy leaned over letting his soft lips touch my forehead. "You alright?" he asked, I nodded my head, "I am perfect," I whispered to him as I played with Liam's toes some more. He kicked his legs out as I did but I giggled. Troy laughed as he played with his fingers.
"I love you," I murmured
"I love you and so does Liam," he said locking eyes with me, I let my head fall back and he reached down to let his lips touch mine. "I am glad you are having a perfect night," he said looking at me, "I am glad I am here."
"That was amazing." He said simply, I took a deep breath as I stared at the ceiling, "More than amazing," I whispered, we had been back at the hotel for a little over two hours. We had been going at it every since.
"I missed it more than I thought I did," I said to Troy as I rolled over to look at him. His eyes bounced with that baby blue I loved seeing. "I know I missed it way more than I should have." He said as he reached over for me, I got up and I lay in his arms. He kissed the top of my head.
"Troy I am not pregnant but I am just wondering if I got pregnant again in the future what would you do?"
"The same thing I did with Liam," he commented, he let his head fall back against the pillows and I slide down to be more comfortable. "Would you?" I asked him
"Of course, Brie now that we have one I can't wait for more. Could we wait a few years, uh yea?" I giggled, "Good, I just want it to be Liam for a little while. I need some time to get used to this parent thing." I told him, "When we were at dinner tonight I felt like a family. I felt like we really belonged." I said
"We are a family; we will be a family forever." He said, his lips contacting my temple, then my cheek to my lips. "Forever." He mumbled again.
"Sharpay has been going crazy. When I am down with your parents this weekend she is going down there to tell her parents. I am going with her since Zeke can not come."
"Please make sure not to get her killed by her dad,"
"I won't I promise" I rolled over onto my stomach to look Troy in the eye. "So tell me, how excited are you for playoffs?" I asked him, "Super duper,"
Laughing I hit his chest, "You sound like a second grader!" I teased him, he laughed as he let his hand run down my back. "Mr. Rookie made it to his playoffs the first year." I said letting my fingers crawl up his chest.
"Oh yea, such a huge thing to do when you have some of the best players on your team." He said winking at me, "mhm, I think you are the best player out there."
"Ron is one of the best and of course Kobe."
"Nope, I still think you are the best." My hand drifted up to his hair and I let my fingers run through the sticky hair. "You need a haircut once you get back into town." I told him as I let the gross hair leave my fingers. "I know I do but I just have been putting it off. I need to shower."
"That can wait until morning," I told him as I crawled up to reach his lips. My planted firmly on his lips and he let his arms circle around my back. I let my tongue glide against his bottom lip.
My hands reached for his hair while he held onto my waist, I massaged his tongue with mine as he let his hands slip farther down my body. I pulled back from the kiss letting my lips fall onto his neck, he moaned as I sucked on his neck. "God, I love you." He mumbled as his hands lay on my back.
I pulled back and I went after his lips again, "I love you too." I murmured, I let my lips go crashing down on top of his and he rolled over to be on top of me. He bit down on my lip, a moan escaped my lips. He moved down to my neck, I could feel the mark that he was going to leave behide.
"That's…not fair," I said trying to catch my breath after the long passionate kiss. "Whats not fair?" he asked his blue eyes blazing mine, "You left a mark," I said trying to reach forward, "Oh no," he said laughing; I pushed his shoulder as he dove in for a kiss on my lips. Wrapping my arms around his neck I slowly moved from his lips onto his neck right about the same spot he placed mine. "God Gabi,"
I smirked and I let go as he kissed me on the lips once more, "I am in definite need," he whispered as he kissed my chest.
I grinned; this had to be the perfect night.
I yawned as my eyes fluttered open, a cold breeze sweeping over my bare body. I curled up closer to Troy but I felt nothing but air. I opened my eyes a little to look around but nobody was in the room. I yawned again and I let my head fall against the pillow. I was too tired to care, my eyes fluttered to a close.
"Mommy is in bed, we gotta be quiet." I heard Troy, the key lock buzzed and then the door opened. I kept my eyes closed and buried my body into the pillow I was laying on. The door opened and shut, Liam was fussing while Troy was trying to quiet him. I turned my head to try to be avoided but it made a pain sting through my neck.
"Ohh…" I moaned softly bring my hand up to the spot Troy gave me a hickey, "Look mommy's awake," Troy got onto the bed as I rolled over opening both my eyes. "This one hurts Bolton," I murmured as he lay next to me, I pull the shirt up across my chest. "I know mine does too. We got a little aggressive last night." He said I closed my eyes letting my head fall against his shoulder.
"Why don't you get dressed?" he suggested, "I don't wanna get out of bed." Troy chuckled and laid Liam on my chest, "How did he do?" I asked let my eyes wondering up to a clothed Troy.
"Eh, my parents would not tell me so I am guessing not to well. I thought about asking there neighbors." He said taking a drink of coffee in his hand. Liam picked his hand up before setting it back down not knowing what to do with it. I giggled and I handed him back to Troy.
"I am going to go take a shower."
"Only if I did not have Liam," he said snapping his fingers; I looked up at his wet hair. "Mhm," I said, I got up dragging the sheet with me. I glanced at the clock to see it was a little past ten in the morning.
"Damn, I need to be leaving. Our flight leaves at noon." I said hitting myself in the head, "No worries," Troy said standing up, "You can go shower and Liam will help me pack everything back up. My stuff is already downstairs so I am just going to shove your dress and stuff in there."
"Thank you! I am just going to grab my sweats and a tank top." I reached into the bag to grab those two items plus a sports bra and underwear.
I kissed Liam's forehead and then Troys lip; he reached out with one arm pulling my closer to him. "Not so fast." He murmured kissing me a little harder, I held onto the sheet with one hand while trying to shield Liam with the other. I started to giggle in the kiss as my arm began to hurt. Troy pulled back laughing himself.
"Go get in the shower," he said smacking my butt, I turned to look at him but escaped to the bathroom. I turned the shower on hot and I dropped the towel from around my body. I hung up a towel on the shower and I stepped in. The warm water taking over my body. It felt good as it washed away everything from the past twenty-four hours. I used the hotel shampoo and conditioner to wash my hair. I used the little bar of soap they provided.
I rinsed my hair once more before I turned off the water. I slung the towel around my body. It hung down my body; I picked up my clothes and started to put them on. Once I had my sweatpants on, I dropped the towel. I pulled my sports bra over my head lifting the thin tank top over my head.
I threw away the shampoo and soap before leaving the bathroom. I walked out to see Troy playing with Liam on the bed. I smiled and I creped up on them. "What are you two doing?" I asked lying on my back, "Waiting for Liam's perfect mom to get out of the shower." He said, his eyes bouncing to mine.
"Well tell Liam its time to go to the airport so we can go spend the weekend down in New Mexico in daddy's room." I said tapping his small nose. Troy leaned over kissing my lips, "You, me, Wednesday." He murmured
"Of course," My eye focused on his, "After tonight I can not wait."
"Should I get Chad to babysit?" he asked raising an eyebrow, "No," I said, "We will just have to work around that." I said winking at him. He smiled and we both sat up knowing we had to get going. "I took your suitcase down to the lobby where my dad was loading the one car."
"Thanks," I grabbed my bag that I was going to take on the plane with me along with Liam's blanket and a water bottle for the beginning part of my morning.
I dropped the key card on the desk as I shut off the lights and took one glance around the room to make sure nothing was in here. I nodded as Troy held the door open for me, "You look beautiful." He commented
"Whatever, I do not have a thing of makeup on, I have bags under my eyes, and I am wearing sweats." I pointed out, "Well I do not see that. I see this insanly sexy woman who came here to surprise me and those bags under your eyes represent an amazing mom." I said touching my nose
I let a small smile slip onto my face as the elevator dinged, we both stepped one and reached for number one. Our hands brushed and I looked up to his eyes. "You mean it?" I asked as he finally reached forward to push the button. He balanced Liam in his arms.
"Of course," he held his hand out and I grabbed it. "Do you have to ride the bus?" I asked him, "Mhm," he murmured, "They pushed our flight back though."
I cocked my head as the elevator doors opened, "Why?" I asked him as we stepped out, "Because we don't play until tomorrow night. Coach thought it would be nice to not have to rush around this morning he noticed it at the breakfast this morning."
"Did you take Liam with you?" I asked
"Yea, I feed him, changed his diaper, and my mom said she gave him a bath last night." Liam squirmed in Troy's arm to the best he could. Troy readjusted his to his shoulder and we walked out to the lobby. "Well that's cool, but that means you can't come with us to the airport." I pouted and he kissed my temple, "I know,"
Once we got to the lobby, we both plopped down on the couch that was sitting in the front. "So call me once you land okay? We are not flying out until threeish and it's not that long of a flight." He said to me, "I will, I promise."
"I do not like you flying and I do not know." He told me, "Somebody else always will Troy, how am I supposed to surprise you?" I crawled over to his lap and I pressed my lips onto the back of Liam's head. Troy smiled and I lay back on his chest. "This will probably be the last surprise of the season." I told him
"Not even playoffs?"
"Nah, I will go to the home games but not the away." Liam began to fuss and Troy pulled him back, "Somebody is not happy," Troy, said
"Do not even ask for him to stay with you,"
"I was not going to do that," he said brushing it off as if it was nothing; I turned to see a sly smirk on his face. "You dork, who would watch him during the game and he is spending the weekend with his grandparents." I poked his chest but I decided to go for the hickey instead.
"Ow, Gabs," he said bring his hand up to rub it, I poked my tongue out at him. He shook his head while I stole Liam from his other hand. "Hey!" he protested, I giggled and I slide off his lap. "That's not even far," I held Liam close to my chest as he watched trying to figure out what was going on.
I sat up to look at Troy who so wanted to just lay out jump on me. I wagged my finger as I stood up walking away, I then saw Lucille coming around the corner. "Hey, can you take Liam for a moment. Troy and I are messing around," I said as he looked up at me then over to Lucy.
"And you do not want Liam to get hurt?" she questioned, I nodded my head, "Alright but we are getting ready to leave." She said, "I know I'm ready to go." I said to her as I handed Liam over who cried. "I'll be right back," I said pointing at him, I tickled her stomach and Lucille laughed.
I then went back to the lobby pouncing on Troy, "Whoa, where is Liam?" he asked but I shook my head. "Oh well I am so getting back at you." He said laughing, he flopped me over on my back and he slowly ran his finger over the mark. I winced and I looked up at him, "Oh God that really hurts, Troy." I mumbled trying to break free, "Oh shit, Gabs, I am so-"
"Gotcha," I said winking at him as he let me go, "What? Is this play a joke on Troy day?" he asked as I sat up, "Sure is son," Jack said coming into the lobby. I got out from underneath Troy. Lucille stood to the side playing with Liam, as he was awake. "Well that's good to know because she got me twice, I can't even get her once!" Troy pulled me up and then pulled me into his chest. His strong arms gripping around my body and his chin resting on the top of my head, "Well Gabi their times to get to the airport so we better go." He said, I nodded and I pulled back to look at Troy's blue eyes.
"I am gonna miss you but I will see you Wednesday." I said winking at him, he leaned down and brought me into a passionate kiss. "Mmm…" I mumbled as I let my arms snake around his neck, "I am gonna miss you like crazy." He whispered as he pulled back.
Jack cleared his throat and Troy and I jumped apart. "Just like high school," he said, I rolled my eyes and I gave Troy one last kiss. "Mom, let me see him." Troy said letting go of me, "I will walk you guys out." He said retrieving Liam from his mom. He walked with me and slung his arm around my waist.
Troy kissed my temple as we walked out heading for the parked car that was ten feet away. I rubbed at my eyes and letting a yawn slip though my mouth. "Better grab some coffee when you get to the airport."
"No joke, I am tired." I said yawning, "Last night may have been a little too much fun." There was a pause before Troy and I looked at each other. "Nah," we both responded, we laughed and I opened the car door for Troy to put Liam in.
He said his goodbyes to him before he kissed his forehead. He got out of the car before looking at me, "I will see you soon," he said giving me a gentle kiss on the cheek. He grabbed my hand so he could squeeze it. "Yup, I love you." I told him as he hugged me, Lucille and Jack were both in the car at the point.
"I love you too and tell Jenni I said hi." I gave him one last kiss before leaving his arms, "I will," I got into the car and Troy closed the door. It clicked shut and I looked at Liam who was falling asleep. I pursed my lips together and I leaned my head back.
"You ready to go home?" Jack asked me, I smiled, "Yea, I am." I said, the car lurched forward and I turned to see Troy retreating into the hotel. This will never become any easier. I searched for Liam's hand under his blanket and wrapped mine around it.
"So did you enjoy Utah?" Jack asked Lucille turned around to look at me. "Loved every single minute of it." I said my eyes not breaking from Liam's. "We are a family,"
