I'm Only Me When I'm With You
Chapter 9
Gabriella knew she had to tell Troy sooner rather than later about the baby and today was the day. She had to fill in back to work paperwork and she knew where Troy kept all policies within minutes she had weeded out the maternity leave request she filled it in and left it amongst her return to work forms and on Troy's desk. Then she returned to work.
"All done boss," she smiled, as she tied her apron on.
From his place at the stove Troy nodded. Gabriella knew that in ten minutes Troy was going on his break and he would find the paperwork.
"So what are you doing tonight?" asked Troy.
"Probably going out getting I mean I'll be in," she said "With You," she added in a whisper.
"Good answer," smiled Troy. "I'd better go check on your paperwork."
Troy headed upstairs and Gabriella knew that there was just minutes before he found her request.
"GABRIELLA!" he called.
Gabriella headed up th he stairs and took a deep breath. She entered the flat.
"Is it true?" asked Troy.
Gabriella nodded
"How long have you known?" asked Troy.
"Two weeks," whispered Gabriella in reply as she nervously played with her cardigan sleeve.
"How far along are you?" asked Troy
"One month," whispered Gabriella.
It was at that moment Troy realized how scared Gabriella was. He got to his feet and strode over to her capturing her lips with his.
"I love you and I'm not going anywhere," smiled Troy.
Later.
"Happy New Year," whispered Gabriella.
"Happy New Year baby," whispered Troy.
They shared a typical new years kiss, savouring the moment their hands clasped over Gabriella's stomach.
"WHAT THE HELL!"
Troy and Gabriella turned around and there at the top of Troy's steps stood Jordon and Jason.
