A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!
Gabriella looked up and saw none other than Claire McKnight. The same women who handled her fostering when she was being abused and she wasn't nice about it at all. Gabriella knew one thing was sure no matter what this lady said she was going to help Ashley no matter what it took.
"Ah Gabriella Montez why did I have a strange feeling you'd be a part of this." Claire asked.
"Because you're a rude person who judges people by their background." Gabriella answered.
Sure Gabriella was abused but it just made her that much stronger. Gabriella had a hard time getting a job at the school at first because of her past. People assumed if she got hit then she would hit. But she managed to prove them wrong.
"Yeah well the child is coming with me."
"Let her stay with me until you find something else." Gabriella said.
"No. Help her pack her things say your goodbyes and leave or I will have you removed by force."
Gabriella sighed. She looked over at Ashley.
"Ashley that lady of there is going to help you from here. She is going to take you to a nice place to sleep and then get you away from daddy."
"But I want to stay with you Mrs. Gabi."
"I know you do sweetie and I'm sorry."
Ashley started to cry. "No I want to stay with you Mrs. Gabi. I want to stay with you."
Gabriella felt her heart break.
"I know sweetie I'm so sorry."
Claire came over. She threw Ashley's books into her bag and lifted Ashley from her chair. Ashley screamed and started to kicking and squirm crying harder.
"NO! MRS GABI! NO! MRS. GABI!" Ashley screamed and cried.
Gabriella felt so helpless and she was hit with a sudden flashback.
Flash back
Gabriella and Lucille headed out of Troy's room. The second they stepped foot outside Gabriella was grabbed. She screamed. Lucille was going to react when she too was grabbed.
"What is going on?"
"We are taking you off this case. You are too involved with the person and we can't let you be in change any more."
"Fine let Gabriella go." Lucille said.
"No."
Gabriella started crying and struggling with the cops.
"As Gabriella's mother I order you to let her go."
"We aren't letting go until we are sure she is where she needs to be."
With that the Doctor's walked away with Gabriella. One stood holding Lucille back.
"MOMMY!" Gabriella screamed.
"Gabriella honey it's ok. Just listen to the doctors everything will be ok." Lucille said.
"NO! MOMMY HELP! MOMMY HELP!"
"LET ME GO!" Lucille screamed.
Both Lucille and Gabriella screamed and struggled until they were out of each other's sight.
End flashback
Gabriella grabbed her things and ran out of the school. She jumped into her car and drove home. She tried to stay calm so she could focus on driving when her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Is this Mrs. Bolton?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"It's Dr. Robin I'm calling about your test results."
"Ok."
"I'm sorry but because of the sexual assault you went through as a teen you won't be able to conceive. I'm sorry and if you do somehow get pregnant you won't be able to carry to term."
"Ok…."
"I'm sorry Mrs. Bolton. If you'd like you and Mr. Bolton could come to my office and discuss other ideas."
"I'll talk to him and let you know."
"All right. Goodbye."
"Bye."
Gabriella hung up and burst into more tears. Not only did she just lose Ashley but now she and Troy could never have a child. Surprisingly she made it home without getting pulled over. She ran inside and screamed.
"TROY ARE YOU HOME?"
She waited less than a split second before screaming again.
"TROY PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE HOME TROY PLEASE!"
Troy came running in from out back.
"Baby what's going on?"
"Just hold me Troy just hold me!"
Troy pulled her right into his arms rubbing her back as she clung to him and cried into his chest.
"Shhhh baby shhhhh. It's all right I'm here shhhhh."
He lifted her legs and carried her bridal style over to the couch. He was worried and wanted desperately to know why his wife just came home in hysterical tears. Finally Gabriella settled down. Troy wiped the last few falling tears away.
"Can you tell me what happen sweetie?"
"You know that girl I'm always talking about?"
"Ashley Green. The mini you yeah why?"
Gabriella always revered to Ashley as mini me because she was just like Gabriella at her age.
"She and I have more in common than I thought."
"Ok…."
"She's being abused Troy."
"Ok so we can help her. We helped you."
"No you don't understand. I tried to help her. I did and I ended up making things worse."
"How?"
"….."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Gabriella, hang on a second."
Gabriella started shaking and her eyes filled back up with tears. Her breathing became harder.
"All right baby shhh calm down. Take a deep breath and start from the beginning." Troy said rubbing her back.
"Ashley told me about what was happen and so I told the Principal. The Principal called Claire McKnight."
"Oh no." Troy groaned.
He knew how mean Claire could be.
"I tried to nicely explain to Ashley she had to go with her because they wouldn't let me take her home of course. Ashley doesn't want to leave so Claire comes and grabs her dragging her out. She is kicking and screaming begging me to take her. I had a flashback of me and mom at the hospital when they were ripping us a part. Troy it was awful. It was so awful!"
Gabriella burst into tears again. Troy rubbed her back whispering soothing words of comfort.
"Troy there is more."
"So tell me."
"It worse news."
"What baby? Whatever it is we will get through it together."
"You'll leave me after you hear it."
"No I won't. Baby I won't leave you ever! I made that promise when we got married. I made a vow and I'm not breaking it. Now what else is there?"
"Dr. Robin called. I got my test results."
Troy didn't even have to ask. He knew it came back bad.
"Did they say why?"
"Because of the sexual assault I went through as a teen."
"I'm so sorry baby. I'm so, so, sorry. But we can always adopt or find someone to carry the baby for us."
"I can't adopt Troy. No one is going to let me adopt a kid with my background. They believe if I was hit as a kid that I'll hit my kids."
Troy sighed. He held Gabriella as close to him as he could. His heart broke as she cried into his chest.
"We'll figure something out I promise baby. I promise we will."
"Please don't leave me Troy. I love you so much. Please don't leave"
"Baby I am not going to leave you. You are my wife and I love you. I will not leave you. That's a promise."
Gabriella just clung to him tighter and cried harder. Troy held her and did what he could to soothe her. They were pulled apart by a knock at the door.
"Mom and dad, I forgot they are coming over for dinner." Troy sighed. "I'll send them home."
"No Troy let them in we have to tell them the news anyway."
Gabriella only hoped they weren't mad at her.
A/N next chapter Lucille and Gabriella have a heart to heart.
