A couple days later, Gabriella was back to her old self. She walked downstairs and went into Troy's office. Troy was writing his article for the newspaper. Gabriella sat down in a chair that was in front of Troy's desk and brought her legs up to her chest. Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled. He took her hand in his.
"How are you feeling?" Troy asked.
"I feel fine" Gabriella said.
"No pain?" Troy asked.
"No, but I miss you" Gabriella said.
Troy smiled and looked at his wife. Gabriella walked over to Troy and sat on his lap. She leaned her head against his. Troy kissed Gabriella's lips slowly.
"I miss you too Brie. But I have been here the whole time" Troy said.
"Yeah I know, I just miss us" Gabriella said as she played with Troy's hair.
Troy smiled. Gabriella kissed Troy's lips softly. Troy kissed Gabriella's lips and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Did you ask Dr. Martin if it was safe to have sex?" Troy asked.
"No, I didn't. I remember Taylor saying that it was, but I am not completely sure" Gabriella said.
"Maybe you should call Taylor and ask, before we do anything" Troy said.
Taylor Danforth was Gabriella's best friend. She was also the wife of Troy's best friend, Chad. Taylor was an obstetrician at the local hospital.
"Okay" Gabriella said as she kissed Troy's lips.
Gabriella got off Troy and walked out of the office. She went to the kitchen and picked up the phone. Gabriella dialed Taylor's number and waited for her to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" Chad answered.
"Hi Chad, is Taylor home?" Gabriella asked.
"Yeah, she's here. How are you feeling Gabi?" Chad asked.
"I am feeling okay. Morning sickness is a pain but I am dealing with it" Gabriella said.
"Well feel better soon, and here's Taylor" Chad said.
"Thanks Chad" Gabriella said.
Taylor's voice came onto the phone.
"Hi Gabi" Taylor said.
"Hey Tay, I had a quick question. I know that you aren't in your office but-" Gabriella started.
"Gabriella, you know you can always talk to me. What's going on?" Taylor asked.
"Troy and I wanted to know if it was safe to have sex. I have never been pregnant before and so I don't know a lot of the precautions" Gabriella said as her face turned red.
"Gabriella, don't be embarrassed. It's a common question. Yes it's safe but you just need to be careful" Taylor said.
"Okay, thanks Taylor. I really appreciate it" Gabriella said.
"No problem. Call me if you have any questions" Taylor said.
"I will" Gabriella said.
Gabriella and Taylor hung up. Gabriella walked back into Troy's office and sat down in the chair that she had been previously. Troy looked at Gabriella and smiled.
"What did Taylor say?" Troy asked.
"She said that it's safe. But, we need to be careful" Gabriella said.
"Okay, you make the rules" Troy said.
Gabriella smiled. She got up and walked over to Troy and sat on his lap. Gabriella kissed her husband's mouth. Troy put his hand on Gabriella's leg and stood up with her in his arms. Troy didn't break the kiss and walked out of the office.
"Sit down" Gabriella said breathlessly.
"You don't want to go upstairs?" Troy asked.
Gabriella shook her head. Troy kissed Gabriella's lips and sat down in a chair at the dining room table. Gabriella unbuttoned Troy's pants as Troy unbuttoned hers. Gabriella wrapped her arms around Troy's shoulders.
"You ready baby girl?" Troy asked.
"Just be gentle" Gabriella said.
"I will, I promise babe" Troy said.
Gabriella kissed Troy's lips. Troy carefully entered Gabriella. She moaned and gripped Troy's shirt.
"Troy, please" Gabriella moaned.
"I love you Brie" Troy said.
The couple made love and showed each other how much they loved each other. After they finished, Gabriella kissed Troy's lips and wrapped her arms around her husband's sweaty shoulders.
"Do you miss me anymore?" Troy asked.
"I am always going to miss you because I love you" Gabriella said.
"I love you too Brie. Come on, we better take a shower" Troy said.
Gabriella got off Troy and the couple walked upstairs. They walked into the bathroom and took a shower. A couple weeks later, Gabriella was three and a half months pregnant. She was getting tired easily and wanted to have sex all the time. Troy saw that Gabriella's body was starting to become fuller. He liked what the baby was doing to her body. Gabriella didn't have morning sickness anymore which made her happy. She also started showing a little bit, which made the pregnancy more real. Gabriella woke up one morning and wanted to have sex. She started kissing Troy's neck softly.
"Mm, Brie" Troy said with his eyes still closed.
"Please?" Gabriella asked.
Troy opened his eyes and looked at his wife. He sighed.
"Baby, I'm tired" Troy said.
"You don't think I am tired? I have more weight to carry" Gabriella said.
"Honey, I didn't mean it like that. We can do it later, I promise" Troy said.
"I know, I just was telling you" Gabriella said.
Troy kissed Gabriella's lips softly. He pulled Gabriella into his embrace. Troy lifted Gabriella's shirt and looked at her small bump. He kissed it gently and put his hand on her stomach.
"I love you" Troy said.
"I love you too" Gabriella said.
Gabriella felt a pain in her stomach. She squeezed her eyes shut.
"Honey, are you okay?" Troy asked.
"There is a little pain in my stomach" Gabriella said.
"Do you want me to call Dr. Martin?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, just to make sure everything is okay" Gabriella said.
"Alright, I will be right back" Troy said as he got out of bed.
Troy went downstairs and picked up the phone and called Dr. Martin. Troy described Gabriella's pain to her doctor and walked upstairs and went into the master bedroom.
"Babe, do you feel pressure?" Troy asked.
"No, just pain" Gabriella said.
Troy told the doctor what Gabriella had said. He and Dr Martin hung up and Troy sat on the edge of the bed.
"What did she say?" Gabriella asked.
"She said that she wants you to come in tomorrow to see what's going on. Do you want me to call Taylor and ask if she can check you out?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, if she's not busy" Gabriella said.
"Okay" Troy said.
Troy called Taylor and waited for her to answer the phone.
"Hello?" Taylor answered.
"Hey Tay, Gabriella is having stomach pain and we called her doctor and she said that the next available appointment is tomorrow. I don't know if the pain is serious or not" Troy said worried.
"Troy, relax okay? I will be right over" Taylor said.
"Thanks Tay" Troy said.
Troy walked back into the master bedroom. Gabriella's eyes were closed and her hand was massaging her stomach.
"Taylor is on her way Brie" Troy said quietly.
"Okay, thank you" Gabriella said.
Troy kissed Gabriella's head softly. The doorbell rang a couple minutes later and Troy walked downstairs. He went to the front door and opened it.
"Hi Troy, where is she?" Taylor asked.
"She's upstairs. Do you think this is serious Tay?" Troy asked.
"I don't think so but I just want to make sure" Taylor said as they walked upstairs.
Taylor and Troy walked into the bedroom.
"Hi Gabi, how's the pain?" Taylor asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.
"It's okay, it hurts a little bit" Gabriella said.
"I want to check you and make sure everything is okay" Taylor said as she put her latex gloves on.
"Okay" Gabriella said as she spread her legs.
Troy held Gabriella's hand and kissed her head. Taylor looked at Gabriella and smiled.
"Take a deep breath for me Gabi" Taylor said.
Gabriella took a deep breath and Taylor examined her. A couple seconds later, Taylor looked at Gabriella.
"Everything looks fine, Gabriella. You are going to have aches and pains, it's completely normal. There's nothing to worry about" Taylor said.
Gabriella sighed and looked at Troy. Troy smiled and kissed her cheek softly.
"Everything is okay babe" Troy said.
Gabriella nodded. Troy looked at Taylor and smiled.
"Thanks for coming over Tay" Troy said.
"You are very welcome. Take it easy honey" Taylor said as she looked at Gabriella.
"I will" Gabriella said.
"I'll walk you out" Troy said.
Troy and Taylor walked downstairs. Taylor looked at Troy.
"Are you okay Troy?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah, I just was a little shaken up" Troy said.
Taylor hugged Troy and looked at him.
"If you need to talk about anything, you know you can call me" Taylor said.
"I know, it's just this kind of thing already happened. Gabriella's only three and a half months pregnant. I don't want something like this to happen for the next six months, Tay" Troy said.
"Troy, just take it day by day" Taylor said.
Troy nodded. Taylor and Troy walked to the front door.
"Keep me updated" Taylor said.
"I will" Troy said.
Taylor left the house and Troy closed the door. He sighed and closed his eyes. Troy walked upstairs and went into the bedroom. Gabriella had her hand on her bump and looked up at Troy.
"Hi honey" Troy said as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Hi" Gabriella said.
"How are you feeling?" Troy asked.
"Better, I'm sorry if I scared you" Gabriella said.
"Hey, it's not your fault" Troy said as he put his hand on her stomach.
Gabriella wiped her tears that were falling from her eyes.
"Baby, don't cry. I'm right here. You are safe" Troy said as he hugged his wife.
Gabriella wrapped her arms around Troy's waist.
"I can't have a normal pregnancy, where I don't have to worry about pain and everything" Gabriella cried.
"Sweetie, everything is fine. You and the baby are okay. That's all that matters. We are going to get through all the challenges that might be thrown at us during the next six months together" Troy said.
Gabriella sniffled.
"I love you" Gabriella said.
"I love you too baby. Take a nap, okay? It will make you feel better" Troy said as he kissed Gabriella's head.
"Okay" Gabriella said.
Troy put the bed covers over Gabriella's body. He kissed his wife one last time.
"I am going to be downstairs if you need me" Troy said.
"Okay" Gabriella said.
Gabriella closed her eyes and fell asleep. Troy walked downstairs and picked up the phone. He dialed Maria's number and waited for her to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" Maria answered.
"Hi Maria, it's Troy" Troy said.
"Hi honey, what's going on?" Maria asked.
"Gabriella had a severe pain in her stomach. I called Dr. Martin's office and there was no available slots so I called Taylor. Taylor said that everything was fine, and that the pain was normal" Troy said.
"How's she doing now?" Maria asked.
"Right now Gabriella is asleep. She said that the pain has lessened" Troy said.
"Thank you for calling me, Troy. I think I am going to come by tonight. Would that be okay? I just want to check on her" Maria said.
"That's fine with me" Troy said.
"Okay, honey. I will see you later" Maria said.
Troy and Maria hung up. Troy walked upstairs and went into the master bedroom. Gabriella was awake and looked at Troy.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Troy asked as he sat on the bed and put his hand on Gabriella's stomach.
"I am feeling okay" Gabriella said as she looked at her bump.
"Your bump has grown a little bit" Troy said.
"Yeah, which means it's going to be heavier" Gabriella said.
Troy kissed Gabriella's lips.
"I called your mom and told her what happened. She said that she wants to come by tonight and see you" Troy said.
"Was she freaked out?" Gabriella asked.
"No, she was just worried about you. I am worried about you" Troy said.
"I know, I'm sorry if I freaked you out. I shouldn't have gotten pregnant. Everything bad has happened since I got pregnant" Gabriella cried.
"Sweetheart, don't say that. You should have gotten pregnant. This baby is going to fine. Brie, don't take this out on yourself. Things happen, it's not your fault" Troy said.
Gabriella had tears running down her face.
"I am supposed to make sure the baby is safe and healthy. I can't even do that" Gabriella said.
"Baby, you are doing a great job at keeping the baby safe and healthy. Don't ever think that, come on let's go downstairs and relax okay?" Troy said.
"Okay" Gabriella said.
Troy helped Gabriella get out of bed. The couple walked downstairs and walked into the kitchen.
"What can I make you?" Troy asked.
"A sandwich please" Gabriella said.
"One sandwich, coming up" Troy said.
Troy made Gabriella's sandwich and put it in front of her. Gabriella took a bite of her sandwich and looked at Troy.
"Are you feeling okay?" Troy asked.
Gabriella nodded as she ate her sandwich. After Gabriella finished, she brought her plate to the sink. The couple then walked into the living room and sat on the couch. Troy kissed Gabriella's lips softly.
"What time is my mother coming?" Gabriella asked.
Before Troy got the chance to answer, the doorbell rang. Troy got off the couch and walked to the front door. He opened the door when he saw Maria.
"Hi Troy, where is she?" Maria asked.
"Gabriella is in the living room. She just got out of bed" Troy explained.
"Okay" Maria said.
Maria and Troy walked into the living room and saw Gabriella laying on the couch.
"Hi honey, how are you feeling?" Maria asked.
"Okay, I feel better than earlier" Gabriela said.
"No pain?" Maria asked.
"No" Gabriella said.
"Take it easy okay? Let Troy do everything" Maria said.
"He's been doing everything for me. I feel like such a burden" Gabriella said as tears rolled down her face.
"Brie, you are not a burden on me. I love doing things for you. You are carrying my child" Troy said.
"I feel bad though, I am not even that far along, and I have to do things like I am nine months pregnant" Gabriella said.
"Don't feel bad, baby" Troy said as he kissed Gabriella's lips.
"Gabi, just relax okay? Don't stress yourself out" Maria said.
"Okay" Gabriella said.
"Troy, can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Maria asked.
"Yeah" Troy said as they walked into the kitchen.
Troy closed the kitchen door and looked at his mother in law.
"She's freaking out" Maria said.
"I know, I am going to talk to Dr. Martin about it and see what I can do. She told me last night that she shouldn't have gotten pregnant" Troy said.
"Poor baby" Maria said.
Maria and Troy talked more about Gabriella. Maria then left the house leaving Troy and Gabriella alone. Troy and Gabriella relaxed around the house. The next four months were going to be tough.
