When it All Falls

(Realization Hits)

"Well umm the baby wasn't injured by the car crash." Taylor said cautiously.

"No Gab. Your baby, your's and Troy's." Chad said rubbing the back of his neck, a nervous habit that both he and Troy had developed.

"No, that can't be! I just had my period last…oh god! I can't remember. It just slipped my mind!" Gabriella said weeping

"I want to see Troy." Gabriella said abruptly, everyone in the room stopped talking and just looked at each other and Gabriella.

Everyone kept staring and staring.

"I really don't think that is the smartest decision." Taylor said gently but firmly, while everyone else nodded in approval.

"Oh my God. Just let me see Troy! I mean it's not like he is the love of my life or anything!" Gabriella said starting to cry.

Little Nickie broke through the group up to her bed and tried to calm her down, "Let Elli see troy, maybe it will cheer her up like it always does." He said innocently.

Anna walked up to Gabriella and stood on the other side, "I agree with Nickie." She said aggressively, daring anyone to object.

Gabriella smiled at the two kids that she had grown so found of. All she really needed was at least one person on her side and now she had two.

Gabriella started to get up but felt pain and became dizzy. She instantly sat back down.

"Maybe we should get you a wheel chair before you go see him." Chad suggested after he rushed to her side.

Jack called for a nurse to bring a wheel chair and shortly after the nurse and the wheel chair arrived. Taylor and Chad helped Gabriella into the chair and they headed on their way. The trip to Troy's room had seemed like it took forever for Gabriella. She kept thinking about everything she had learned in the past forty-five minutes; learning about the baby, and worrying if Troy was going to recover and if he did how he would react from the news about the unexpected news.

After what seemed like forever Taylor finally turned into Troy's room. Gabriella's eye fell on the still body that was hooked up to, what seemed like twenty machines. Gabriella knew that the body was Troy but she couldn't just accept it. The sight truly broke her heart.

Taylor wheeled her closer to the bed and everyone exited the room to give her some time alone. As soon as they all left and shut the door she broke down and laid her head onto the bed.

Before her mom had died, she had once watched a medical show that explained how is the comatose patient was frequently spoken to the patient showed greater signs of improvement than patients left alone.

"Hey Troy, it's me Brie. Please baby, you need to wake up. I need you hear with me. Gabriella cried looking up to see if there was any improvement.

"…" none what-so-ever.

"Troy we are having a baby! I don't want… no, I can't do it alone. I need you!" Gabriella wiped her eyes.

"…" still nothing.

Gabriella just sat there holding his hand and talked about everything and nothing for the next five minutes before everyone came back in a much better mood.

"Gabriella honey, we saw your doctor in the hallway and he told us that after you have done your evaluation you could come back home, if everything is fine of course. Mrs. Bolton exclaimed happily.

Gabriella just sat there smiling but also sad.

How can I go home when Troy is still here at the hospital? I don't think I will be able to last the night alone, She thought.

Gabriella gave a quick kiss to Troy on his forehead and whispered for him to wake up soon. Chad wheeled her out of the room and out of the hospital.

"Honey, don't wait up for us we are gonna stay here for a little while longer." Jack Bolton cried out to them as the left the hospital.

Gabriella kept looking back every once in awhile as she was being pushed further and further away from Troy's room. They finally reached Chad's car and while Chad helped her in, Taylor got her personal items like clothes and jewelry that Gabriella was wearing the night of the car accident.

Gabriella had fallen asleep as soon as she was in the car. After driving for 10 minutes Taylor pulled up to the Bolton's house. Chad carried Gabriella into the house, since she was still asleep. She woke up as he crossed the front door. Chad and Taylor knew Gabriella had been sleeping in Troy's room for the past couple months and brought her and her stuff to his closed door. Gabriella let go of Chad and opened the door and slowly but painfully walked in.

"Umm Gabriella, Chad and I have to return to his house but we will be back tomorrow. Call us if you need anything! And we mean anything!" Taylor said giving her best friend a comforting but light hug, Chad repeating what his girlfriend had just done and they both left.

Gabriella slowly walked over to the bed and saw four pictures on the bedside tables.

One was from their first musical as Arthur and Minnie.

One was from their junior formal.

One was from last summer's talent show at Lava Springs

And the last one was from their Senior Prom.

If Gabriella had done her math correctly, (and of course she had she was Gabriella) prom night was when the baby was conceived.

Thinking about May 14th (prom) brought back happy memories when times seemed perfect to Gabriella and Troy.

'Now everything seems to be falling apart.' Gabriella thought holding the picture from prom. She started quietly crying and as she started falling asleep she subconsciously moved her hand to her stomach.
