She Is Going To Be Okay Right?

PREVIOUSLY…

"Gabby can you please go to the store and get some groceries please" Mrs. Montez asked.

"Sure mom, but I am going to go to Troy's first" Gabby replied back.

"Okay honey. Here is the list" Mrs. Montez said, handing her daughter the list.

"Thanks." Gabby said taking the list "Bye Mom" Gabby grabbed her purse and keys and ran out the door to her car. She got into her car and drove down her street. She was stopped at a red light waiting for the light to turn green, and all she had to do was make this left and she would be on Troy's street. She was just about to turn when out of nowhere a car from across the street came speeding towards her. When she realized it wasn't going to stop she started panicking.

"OMG!" she said out loud, panic written all over her face. Within a second the two cars collided and she was knocked unconscious.

There was an ambulance parked down the road and the two paramedics who were driving it saw the whole thing happen and knew that those people in the accident needed help. They rushed over to Gabby's car and pulled her out. She was still unconscious and was bleeding a lot.

"Call for another ambulance and the police. We have to leave to get this girl to the hospital and fast. The police can take care of Mr. Drunk over there" the one paramedic said, seeing the man who hit Gabriella get out of his car and yell things that didn't make sense as he stumble to the ground. The two paramedics loaded Gabby into the ambulance and began to work on her. Moments later another ambulance and the police pulled up to the scene. One of the paramedics jumped out of the ambulance and explained to the cops what happened. When she was done explaining she ran back to the ambulance, but not before grabbing Gabby's purse, out of her now wrecked car, looking for proper identification. When she found it she yelled to officer "Gabriella Montez, age 16"

She then jumped into the ambulance and quickly shut the doors. Seconds later the ambulance pulled away leading Gabby to the hospital.

4 Hours Later

Mrs. Montez was in the kitchen baking a cake when she heard a knock at the door. She quickly put the spoon in her hand down and took off her apron. She then made her way to the door. When she opened the door, a police officer was standing there.

"Can I help you officer?" Mrs. Montez asked. She hoped it wasn't something bad. The last time a police officer came to her door, was to deliver news that her parents had been on one of the plains that crashed into the World Trade Centers on September 11th and they had passed away.

"Mrs. Montez, I am Officer Johnson and I am sorry to tell you this but your daughter Gabriella was in a car accident." Mrs. Montez began to cry. "She was unconscious but stable when the paramedics took her to the hospital. She was taken to Albuquerque Memorial Hospital. One again I'm really sorry"

"Thank-you" Mrs. Montez mumbled out between her tears.

"Would you like an escort there?" The officer asked.

"No thank you, I can drive" Mrs. Montez answered.

"Alright then" The officer turned and walked down the walkway to his car.

Mrs. Montez also turned, and ran into the kitchen and turned off the stove and grabbed her car keys. She then went to her car and drove to the hospital. All she could think about was that Gabby was going to be alright and that she wouldn't and couldn't loose her. While driving she called her husband John to tell him the news. He was in New York on a business trip but she knew he would come home immediately when she told him what happened.

"Hello?" Mr. Montez asked, answering his phone.

"Hi honey it's me." Mrs. Montez said, stalling because she didn't really want to tell him the news.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Mr. Montez asked, hearing the worry and scared tone in his wife's voice.

"Gabby was in a car accident, she's um in the hospital right now" Mrs. Montez answered slowly, trying to hold in her tears.

"Oh my god, I'll um be on the next flight out okay?"

"Thanks John, I'll see you soon" Mrs. Montez said with tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Honey don't worry okay. She will be fine. I love you."

"I love you too, bye."

When Mrs. Montez arrived at the hospital, after the 15 minute car ride, she parked her car and ran inside to the front desk and asked where her daughter was. The nurse then gave the directions to Gabby's room and then she took off in that direction. When Mrs. Montez got onto Gabby's floor she came to a big waiting room. She saw a nurse sitting at a desk in the corner and walked up to her. She explained to the nurse about her daughter and the nurse told her to sit down and the doctor would be out shortly. When she sat down she took out her cell phone and took a deep breath. She had to call Troy and she knew this was going to be hard. She slowly dialed his number and listened to it ringing.

"Hello" Troy said into the phone. He was on his was home from the basketball game with Chad and they were about ten minutes from home.

"Hi Troy. It's Mrs. Montez"

"Hi Mrs. Montez" Troy answered, kind of confused why she would be calling him.

"Um...Troy…Gabriella was in a car accident today and she's at the hospital" Troy's jaw dropped and as it did he dropped the phone, and Chad's hand flew to his mouth hearing Mrs. Montez through the phone. Troy thanked god he was at a red light because he probably would have slammed on the brakes at the news. Troy quickly coming out of his stunned state quickly scrambled to pick up the phone. When he put it by his ear he heard Mrs. Montez's voice come through the receiver.

"She is at Albuquerque Memorial Hospital if you would like to come. I actually just got here"

Troy quickly turned the car around and headed to the hospital, going home was the last thing on his mind. "Thank you" He replied. There was a moment of silence and then Troy finally spoke up again. "She is going to be okay right?"

"I really hope so Troy, I really do" Mrs. Montez answered.

"Yeah me too. I am on my way there so I will see you when I get there I guess" Troy said softly.

"Alright. Bye Troy, see you soon" They both hung up. Mrs.Montez continued to call other family members and Troy and Chad headed to the hospital.

It had been 20 minutes since Mrs. Montez arrived at the hospital and she had just finished up a phone call when Troy came bursting through the doors. She chuckled lightly to herself. Man did Troy love Gabriella. Before they even had a chance to talk to each other a doctor entered the room.

"Family of Gabriella Montez?"

Both rushed over to him. "I'm Doctor Stevens. Who are you?" the doctor questioned looking at Troy.

"I'm Troy, Gabriella's boyfriend and this is Gabriella's mom, Maria" Troy answered.

"Alright Mrs. Montez please follow me this was. Troy you can wait here you aren't-" The doctor began but was cut off by Mrs. Montez.

"He is allowed in Doctor. He is like my son" Troy gave Mrs.Montez a grateful smile, knowing he wouldn't be able to stand the wait.

"Alright follow me this way please" The doctor said.

The doctor led them to his office and all three sat down in the chairs. Not long after the doctor began to talk.

"As you know, Gabriella was hit by a car. Lucky for her an ambulance was nearby and came to her rescue. She was unconscious when they brought her in. As we started to bandage up some of her wounds she woke up. She kept asking for Troy and her Mom, which I assume are you two." Both Troy and Mrs. Montez nodded "We then had to take her into surgery to fix her collapsed lung, which most likely happened when the two cars collided. She got through that fine and she should make a full recovery." Troy and Mrs. Montez let out sighs of relief. "But her left leg is broken and she will need to be on crutches for 8 weeks. Now this is the part that concerns me. Gabriella has slipped into a coma. I don't know how but she did. Now the rest is up to her, she can wake up in an hour, a day or even a few weeks. It all depends on her. She is in room 208, two rooms down on the right. You both can go in and see her now if you want"

"Thank-you doctor" Mrs. Montez said as she and Troy stood up and left the room.

When they got into the hallway Troy told Mrs. Montez "You go to see her, our friends will be getting here soon anyway and I can explain what happened. And plus I can go in when your done"

"Thank-you Troy. Gabby is lucky to have you" She hugged Troy and then made her way to Gabby's room.

Troy turned back and headed to the waiting room. He opened the door and stopped in his tracks. Everyone was there; Sharpay, Ryan, Chad, Taylor, Kelsi, Jason, Zeke, his parents and a few people he recognized from pictures at Gabby's house. He didn't realize he had been in there that long, but he was glad they were there. He knew he had to explain to them what happened. As he walked further into the room, everyone grew quiet and turned their attention to him. He took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Gabby had a collapsed lung, which the doctors fixed in surgery, and her left leg is broken. She will need to be on crutches for 8 weeks. The doctor said she should make a full recovery though" Everyone let out a sigh of relief "but the worst part if she has slipped into a coma. They don't know how but she did. Now the rest is up to her, she can wake up anytime now."

All the girls began to cry and the guys were trying to be strong for the girls but on the inside all they wanted to do was cry.

Troy's mom came up to him and gave him a hug, as she did she said to him, "Everything is going to be okay honey. Gabriella is strong and she will get through this."

Troy gave his mom a small smile. Then, Troy heard his name being called and he turned around to see Mrs. Montez standing there.

"You can go see her now" she said in a whisper, through her fresh tears.

"Thanks" Troy answered and took off down the hallway to his girlfriend's room.

Before he went in the room he took a deep breath to calm himself down and slowly turned the door knob. He walked in and he rushed to Gabriella's side. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and pulled up a nearby chair. He then took her hand in his and began to talk, little did he know the doctor, who was about to enter but stopped when he heard Troy talking, was standing at the door.

"Hey Brie it me. I really need you to pull through this okay. And it's not just me who needs you, your mom and dad and family and our friends need you too. I honestly can't live without you, you are the only one who can make me smile when I am upset, and hopefully you know that. I don't think I will be able to live without seeing your smile and hearing your laugh everyday. If I am away from you for an hour, I miss you. So baby please come back to me. I love you so much"

The doctor, who heard the whole thing, backed away from the door and then walked up again and knocked, so Troy wouldn't think that he was eavesdropping. Troy turned around when he heard the knock and stood when he saw it was the doctor.

"I have some more of Gabriella's test results" the doctor said.

"Alright I will go get Gabby's mom" Troy started to walk to the door when the doctor cut him off.

"Actually I think you should hear this first" The doctor said.

"Okay" Troy said confused.

"We had ordered some blood tests, as a routine check up. When the results came back it said that Gabriella had high estrogen levels. There are usually only three reasons for that, when a woman is going through menopause, which Gabriella is way to young for, when a girl has her period, which Gabriella doesn't have right now, and there is the third reason…"

"Which is?" Troy asked.

"Um…I don't really know how to say this but…Gabriella is pregnant" Troy stood there in shock and the doctor went on. "We did a pregnancy test and it came back positive. After further tests and an ultrasound we know that she is about five weeks along." There was a moment of silence but the doctor began to talk again "Would you like me to tell her mom?"

"No, I will thanks" Troy answered in a raspy voice, not quite able to talk yet.

The doctor then walked over to the table and left the copy of the ultrasound on it. He then left the room and Troy walked over to Gabby's bed and took her hand in his. His eyes then traveled down to her stomach and they stayed there, just staring, for the longest time.

I can't believe there is a baby in there Troy thought. He then let go of Gabby's hand and began the pacing the room. How am I supposed to this? I am still just a kid. How am I going to be a father at sixteen years old? There's no way I can do this. I am way too young! And what about Gabriella? Oh my god, she is totally going to freak. She can't be a mother at sixteen. She's way to smart and she always dreamed of going to some fancy college…She's going to hate me. Yup, she's definitely going to hate me. Ugh! Why did this have to happen? We only did it once! Okay, maybe it was more than that, but this happened during our first time. Okay, so I am definitely dead. Yeah, between Gabriella, my parents, her parents, her brother and our friends, yeah I am a dead man walking. Especially since our parents are totally going to freak out. What the hell am I going to do!?

Just then Troy finally noticed the ultrasound that the doctor put on the table. He picked it up and looked at it. His eyes were drawn right to the center where there was a white blob about the size of a peanut. He immediatley knew it was the baby. His baby. The baby that he and Gabriella created together. This feeling overcame Troy and he didn't know how to explain it. All he knew was that at that moment, it felt like everything was going to be okay.

He put the ultrasound in his pocket as he walked over to Gabriella. He gave her one last kiss on the cheek and then walked to the waiting room. When he got there everyone noticed he looked a little pale and suddenly they all became worried. Maria walked over to Troy, hoping for an explanation. Troy explained to Maria, out in the hallway and in a whisper what the doctor had told him and a few other things the doctor didn't know, which were things he felt a little uncomfortable talking about especially with his girlfriend's mom. At the end, a crying Maria gave Troy a hug and told him she wasn't mad, but she definitely wanted to talk to Troy later. This made Troy feel a little better. She then decided to go to see Gabriella but she was going to let Troy tell Gabby about the baby when she woke up. When she left Troy walked back into the waiting room and he was bombarded with questions from the friends and family.

"What happened?"

"Is Gabriella okay?"

"What did the doctor say?"

"Did she wake up?"

"Why are you pale?"

Troy couldn't take the questions anymore. "Guys chill okay!" Troy yelled and everyone quieted down instantly at Troy's raised voice. "Gabriella is five weeks pregnant. And yes I am the father" Troy said.

Everyone stayed silent, shocked at the news they just heard. After a few minutes Troy's mom and dad came up to him and they pointed to the hallway. The three of them walked out into the hallway to have a long discussion, which was bound to include some yelling, crying, and arguing.

"How could you be so stupid Troy?" Mr. Bolton yelled.

"ME? Dad, you actually think this is what I really wanted!? To become a father at sixteen? Well, it's not. I also think Gabriella doesn't want to be a mother yet either" Troy yelled back.

"Well you and Gabriella asked for it when you two started to sleep together. You guys knew the risks"

"Okay dad, our first time was like a month ago. And contrary to what you believe, we are not sex machines. We maybe did it 6, 7 times since then. That's it! And we used protection. It's not like we weren't careful"

"Boys, calm down" Mrs. Bolton said with tears in her eyes. "Yeah this news is shocking and unexpected but there is no need to yell"

"What about basketball Troy?" Mr. Bolton asked.

"Dad, incase you hadn't noticed, there is way more to life than basketball. Your making my life revolve around a game that I can only play for another 10 to 15 years, where as Gabriella and the baby will be here forever. Besides, Gabriella having a baby doesn't suddenly make me forget how to shoot a three pointer"

"Troy, having a baby is a huge responsibility. It's not one that a sixteen year old boy should have" Mrs. Bolton said.

"Well, it looks like I don't have a choice now do I? I promised Gabriella that I would be there for her, no matter what, and I am going to keep my promise"

"But Troy-"

"No buts. If Gabriella wants to have this baby than I am going to be there for her"

"Troy, you guys are not ready for this"

"Well, we have 8 months to get ready"

"Troy you need-"

"You know what I need?" Troy asked. "Right now, I need my parents support. I need you guys to tell me that everything will be okay, and that you will help me. I am scared to death and you guys aren't helping my fears any"

Mr. and Mrs. Bolton's faces immediatley softened at their son's statement.

Mrs. Bolton walked over Troy and just hugged him. Not long after they both were crying.

"Troy, it will be okay" Troy's mom said and then looked at her husband.

"Yeah son, it will be and I am sorry. It's just, we were both shocked"

"It's okay" Troy said and then hugged his dad.

"Now go on, go see your friends. We will discuss this more later"

Troy nodded and then headed back to the waiting room.

"I can't believe my baby is going to have a baby" an emotional Mrs. Bolton said to her husband.

Troy reached the waiting room and then took a deep breath. He walked back into the waiting room and headed straight over to his friends. When he got there Sharpay was the first one to say something.

"Troy you better not hurt her"

"Guy's don't worry I am not going to hurt her. I promise. I love her with all my heart"

"Good" Taylor said

"What did the parents say?" asked Zeke.

"There okay with it. I mean there not thrilled and a little disappointed but they're going to help us" Troy answered.

"So, how does it feel knowing you're going to be a dad?" Chad wondered. Everyone looked at Chad in utter shock. No one ever thought he would ask a question as deep and meaningful as that.

Troy thought about it for a moment and then answered "Honestly guys, it feels amazing. Even though we are both 16, it doesn't matter our age because I know Gabby and I are going to love this baby so much. Besides, we will have you guys and my and Brie's parents to help us"

The girls smiled at Troy's comment and knew that if anyone was meant to be together it was Troy and Gabriella.
