HERES THE NEXT CHAPTER. HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
After finishing up with basketball Troy went over to Gabriella's house and knocked on the door where she opened the door with Nicole on her hip. Troy looked at her appearance, which was drastically different. She had a lot less makeup on her face and her clothes were lighter.
"What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked moving Nicole up higher on her hip.
"I wanted to talk to you about the person on your hip and try to understand what you meant earlier." Troy said, not taking his eyes off the little girl.
"Well I don't want to explain anything to you, it's none of your business." Gabriella told while Nicole tugged on Gabriella's shirt. "Yes baby?"
Nicole got really close to Gabriella's ear and whispered. "Him have pretty eye." Troy just smiled at Nicole, who reached over to Troy to hold her.
"Well I guess since she likes you maybe you could come in." Gabriella just turned around leaving the door open.
"Don't worry, mama alway like dat." Nicole spoke.
After being there for an hour Troy had exhausted Nicole who fell asleep on the couch with her head on his lap. Troy looked down at her face, she looked similar to Gabriella.
"She doesn't take too kindly to boys I'll have you know." Gabriella said while walking into the living room holding a cup for when Nicole woke up. "So you must be something special."
"Oh well, of course I am." Troy smirked as Gabriella rolled her eyes.
"Talk about egotistical." Gabriella leaned down to pick Nicole up. "Here let me take her to bed for her nap. Poor thing always tired." Troy followed Gabriella to the nursery set up for the little one. He smiled at the light green walls and frogs all over the place.
"I guess you're trying to have your daughter like the same animals as you?" Troy asked.
"Not really, she picked it out herself. When she was one, she always would want to spend time with me in bed before the start of the day, and every time she always snuggled up to the one frog I have on my bed." Gabriella explained. "So when we moved here and asked what kind of room, she said froggy room."
"She's not your real daughter is she?" Troy asked suddenly
"What? What are you talking about?" Gabriella asked offendedly.
"When I was looking at her, she looked too much like you."
"So? I'm glad my daughter looks like me, she doesn't need her good for nothing father any more than I do." Gabriella seethed. "Maybe you should leave."
"She's Sandi's isn't she?" Gabriella's eyes darkened tremendously.
"Get out. Get the fuck out of my house now." When Gabriella said this her mother, Rosalie walked down the stairs. "No Nicole may not be birthed by me, but she is my daughter by love. Now get out." Gabriella pushed Troy out the door whether he liked it or not.
"Gabriella, what has gotten into you?" Rosalie asked.
"Nothing mother, I'm just tired of people in general." Gabriella walked up the stairs.
"Well I'm going to work, I'll be home around 11." Rosalie announced.
"You're dinner is in the microwave as per usual. Tonight is cheese ravioli." The two girls walked their separate ways.
Gabriella walked tiredly into school the next morning, Nicole was up the whole night with a cough. So if Nicole was up, then so was Gabriella. She didn't like having her mother take care of another child, even if that child was her granddaughter. Gabriella said she would take full responsibility of Nicole after the accident. So true to her word Gabriella at the age of 13, she became a mother.
"Rough night?" Taylor, a girl known for always looking out for those in need, asked as Gabriella went to her locker.
"Yea, my daughter was up all hours of the night coughing. Poor thing, hate to think she's catching a cold." Gabriella told the female, who would soon become a good friend.
"You have a daughter?" Taylor asked astonished. Gabriella simply nodded. "How old is she?"
"She'll be three next month, and before you ask I'm 16."
"So you were 13 when you became pregnant?" Gabriella shook her head.
"She's not birthed by me, although in my heart she feels like it."
"So at the age of 13 you became a mother to a child not even yours? And your mother is okay with it?" Taylor asked in disbelief.
"My mother would never allow herself to have that child be put up for adoption, although she doesn't want to raise another child at her age, I told her I would. And our system has been working great so far." Taylor smiled and together the girls walked to homeroom, which was the most boring class in the schedule.
"Ms. Montez, could you please come up and see me for a minute?" Ms. Darbus asked as Gabriella looked a Taylor with a confused look and shrugged.
"What can I do you for Ms. Darbus?"
"Your mother just called, apparently your daughter had to be taken to the hospital." That shocked Gabriella.
"WHAT?" She screamed. "But she was just fine when I left, what do you mean she's in the hospital?"
"I don't know Ms. Montez, but your mother cleared it with the principle that you can leave and go there." Ms. Darbus informed her.
"Can I take someone with me?" Ms. Darbus didn't know the answer so she had to call up the administration. "They said if they have their parents permission."
"Troy call your dad, you're coming with me." Gabriella told him while he went to the phone as well. Five minutes later the two set out to Gabriella's car, she speeded the whole way there, thinking how lucky she was for a police officer to stop her and give her an escort.
"Are you sure you don't want me to drive?" Troy asked while gripping onto the 'oh shit' bar above the passenger door and onto the center console.
"No." She simply stated. 10 minutes later Troy and Gabriella ran into the ER Gabriella spotted her mom.
"Mom, what happened why is Nicole here?" Gabriella rushed.
"She started coughing really bad, then blood started coming out. I don't know what's wrong with her." Rosalie was in just as bad a shape as Gabriella. Right then a doctor came out asking for Gabriella and Rosalie.
"She's alright, she developed a lung infection that we'll be giving her medication for." Dr. Weaver said to the two. "She'll have to stay here for the next couple days just so we can monitor her and make sure that the medication starts to get rid of the infection. I don't know how she contracted it." Rosalie and Gabriella sighed in relief. "If you want you can go see her, but family only." Dr. Weaver looked at Troy then back to Rosalie.
"Oh this is Nicole's father." Gabriella said to the doctor as she elbowed Troy in the ribs to play along.
"Oh well then go right a head she's in room B3." Gabriella ran to the room to her daughter.
"Oh baby!" Gabriella exclaimed as she saw Nicole connected to multiple wires. "Are you alright? Don't ever do that again you scared mommy."
"I'm sowwy." Nicole said looking down.
"Oh sweets I'm so glad your okay." Gabriella hugged Nicole close to her body as Rosalie and Troy walked in. "Mommy is going to stay with you the whole time. If you ask Troy nicely maybe he'll be nice and bring mommy her school work when school lets out."
"Of course I will Gabriella," Troy smiled at the two then started to frown. "Ummm Rosalie…do you think you would be able to give me a ride back to school? My car is there and it wouldn't feel right taking Gabriella's, leaving her here with nothing." Troy asked looking down.
"Sure Troy, I need to go to the school anyway and I'll get Gabriella's work for today." Rosalie walked over to Gabriella and Nicole. "Be good for mommy, that goes for both of you." Rosalie laughed along with Gabriella.
"I always good Gema." Nicole said from her hospital bed.
Rosalie walked out of the room after giving both girls a kiss on their foreheads. Herself and Troy went back to the school and Gabriella laid down with her daughter keeping a watchful eye over her as little Nicole fell asleep.
