The next morning, Stella woke up to her hospital door opening. She sat up as far as she could and saw Ryan smiling at her.

"Hey" Ryan said.

"Hey" Stella said.

"How is Brianna today?" Ryan asked.

"I don't know, the nurse hasn't brought her in yet" Stella said.

"Oh, do you want me to go see when they are going to bring her?" Ryan asked.

"Sure" Stella said.

Ryan left and came back with a wrapped Brianna. He then sat on the edge of the bed and put his daughter into her mother's arms.

"So where do we stand, Stella? I mean I love you to death but with myself leaving I feel like I don't deserve someone like you" Ryan said.

"Ryan, I love you too. I mean when you walked out I was hurt and didn't know how I would be able to take care of Brianna by myself. The fact that the father of my child hated me made me feel worse" Stella confessed as she looked at Brianna in her arms.

"First thing, I don't nor will I ever hate you. You and I have never been in a tough situation like this. What I did was wrong, I know that. But I will never regret you getting pregnant and having my child" Ryan said.

"Really?" Stella asked.

"Really, babe. I love you and I never thought what I did would change anything. It was irresponsible and I know it" Ryan said.

Stella had tears running down her cheeks as she looked at Ryan. Ryan took Brianna out of Stella's arms and put her into her bassinet carefully. He then lied next to her on the bed and held her as she cried. Ryan held her and told her he loved her and how proud he was of her.

"I love you" Stella said wiping her tears away.

"I love you too baby, more than you will ever know" Ryan said.

Stella looked up at Ryan and kissed his lips. Ryan kissed her back and then pulled back and smiled. He wiped the stray hair to the side of her face.

"So what do we do now? Am I going to live with Vanessa or am I going to move back in?" Stella asked.

"I want you to move back in. I want us to be a family. Bri needs us to be a family" Ryan said.

"Bri?" Stella asked smiling.

"I nicknamed her when you were asleep" Ryan said.

"Oh, it's cute. I like it" Stella said.

There was a knock on the door and Dr. Peter came in. She smiled and walked to the bed, looking at Stella's chart.

"Stella, I am going to check you and make sure everything is okay. Then you can leave" Dr. Peter said sitting on the front edge of the bed.

Ryan got off the bed and sat in the chair next to the hospital bed. Dr. Peter picked the bottom of the sheet as Stella spread her legs apart. Dr. Peter examined Stella then wrote notes down in Stella's open chart. Ryan held her hand tightly.

"Everything looks good, Stella. You can go home. Take care" Dr. Peter said smiling.

"Thank you Dr. Peter" Stella said as her doctor walked out the door.

"Do you need help getting up?" Ryan asked as he went to the side of the bed.

"Yes please" Stella said turning to face Ryan.

Ryan held both of Stella's hands and helped her up. He then kissed her lips.

"I am going to go change" Stella said walking to the bathroom that was inside the hospital room.

A few minutes later, Stella came out of the bathroom slowly.

"Are you okay?" Ryan asked concerned.

"I am really sore, that's all. Dr. Peter said it was normal" Stella said.

"Okay" Ryan said.

The couple went over to the bassinet and then Stella picked up Brianna. They then left the hospital room and drove home. Ryan parked his car in Stella's driveway. He then went to the backseat and unbuckled Brianna from her car seat. Ryan picked her up carefully and went to the front door, where Stella was already waiting. Stella opened the door and the couple walked in. They both walked to the family room and sat on the couch.

"So what is the plan? Are you going to move in or should I move in here?" Ryan asked.

"I think it would be best if you moved in because I already have all of Brianna's stuff set up and I don't want to disassemble everything then put it back together" Stella said.

"Okay, then I will go home and get my stuff and I will be back" Ryan said.

"Okay" Stella said.

Ryan kissed Stella's lips and left to go get his stuff from his apartment. After Ryan left, the phone rang.

"Hello?" Stella answered while holding Brianna.

"Hey, did you just get home?" Vanessa asked.

"Yeah, we did. Ryan just left to go get his stuff from his apartment" Stella told her sister.

"So he is going to move in with you?" Vanessa asked.

"Yeah, I thought it would be easier since I have all of her stuff set up here already" Stella said looking at Brianna.

"That's good, well I was just checking in to make sure you and Brianna were okay. Don't hesitate to call me if you need help" Vanessa said.

"I won't " Stella said.

"I love you" Vanessa said.

"I love you too, bye" Stella said hanging up.

Stella hung up the phone and looked at Brianna who was sleeping. She then picked her daughter up and walked to Brianna's room and put her into her crib. Stella put the little blanket over her daughter's body and kissed her head. She then went downstairs and heard the door open. Stella saw Ryan moving his belongings into the house.

"Do you need some help?" Stella asked.

"No, I got it" Ryan said moving his suitcases that were full of clothes into the house.

"Just put it in the bedroom and you can sort through it later" Stella said.

A cry was then heard throughout the house.

"I will get her" Stella said walking upstairs.

Stella walked upstairs and saw Brianna crying. She picked her daughter up and tried to soothe her.

"Bri, what's wrong huh?" Stella asked the newborn.

Remembering that the newborn could not respond, Stella put Brianna on the changing table and looked to see if she needed her diaper changed.

"Aw baby, I don't blame you for crying. Let's get you dry and then you can go back to sleep" Stella said to her daughter.

Stella changed Brianna and then carried her to the crib. She then kissed her daughter's head and left the room. The Hudgens-Efron family knew that having a family was going to require a lot of work but they all knew they could make it if worked hard
