Chapter 7- Surprise

Chapter 7- Surprise! It's me!

After many more shopping days during her pregnancy, Gabriella was soon nine months pregnant.

She had to be on maternity leave from school, and she could still walk around, but a bit slower than usual.

She was woke up from a deep sleep by her loud, ringing alarm clock, which was signalling for her to get out of bed.

Mrs Montez opened the door and to her surprise, it was someone for Gabriella.

That person walked into the living room and waited for Gabriella.

"Gabriella, someone is here for you. I'm going to work now. Bye" said Mrs Montez.

"Ok mom, I'm just getting changed. Bye!" Gabriella shouted to her mom as she left through the front door.

After Gabriella got changed and had a wash, she walked down the stairs, and walked into the living room.

Her mouth dropped in shock.

"Troy!" she gasped, then ran up to her bedroom.

Troy's POV

"Coach, me and most of my team need to talk to you." said Troy.

"Follow me into my office you lot." replied the Coach.

"Chad you start, Zeke tell him the reasons. Ok?" ordered Troy.

Chad started to tell him what the team wanted to say.

"On behalf of my team, the reason why we have come to you is because we are quitting."

"Time for the reasons" Zeke said.

"Reason number one-we have no social life.

Reason number two-you are treating us like we are little children!

Reason number three- how much training we are doing, is making us more and

More tired each time, which worsens our performance. Do you think guys we should

Carry on with the reasons?" said Zeke.

"Ok, ok. Fine leave then. At least I have a back up team ready." Shouted the coach as the team was about to leave through the doors for the last time.

"Right guys, what do you say about going back to our old life?" said Jason Cross.

Everyone cheered.

They all got in their own cars and drove back to where they belong.

Troy was driving along thinking about all of the fun he used to have with Gabriella.

At last he turned up at the house his girlfriend lived at.

He parked his car on the drive and got out.

Then he knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.

Gina Montez opened the door to find Troy.

"Hello Mrs Montez, I am here to see Gabriella." said Troy.

"Come in Troy. Wait in the living room whilst I shout her. Then I will be going off to work."

"Ok." Troy replied.

Mrs Montez called Gabriella and then went off to work.

Whilst Gabriella was getting changed, Troy sat on the couch, thinking.

I can not believe I have my Gabriella back! I wonder if she has changed . She may have had her hair cut or grown taller.

Gabriella made her way down the stairs and as soon as she walked into the living room, her mouth dropped, and she ran upstairs.

Troy saw the bump Gabriella had tried to hide when she first saw Troy.

Is that really Gabriella? She is pregnant! I better go after her!

Troy made his way into Gabriella's bedroom, which he knew where it was because he saw the door close when she went in.

He saw her lying on the bed, crying, so he sat next to her on the bed.

"I'm sorry Troy" apologised Gabriella.

"What for?

"Not telling you."

"Its ok." reassured Troy. "How about we go to Java City coffee shop?"

"Yes, ok."

Troy drove Gabriella to the coffee shop.

Once they had parked the car and paid at the meter, they walked into the coffee shop.

Gabriella and Troy stood at the counter, deciding which drink they wanted to have.

"Gabriella, what drink do you want?" asked Troy.

"I will have a Lattecino. What are you having?" replied Gabriella.

"I think I will have a Granita Latte. Go and find a seat, whilst I order and pay for them."

"Ok."

Gabriella scanned round the shop to find a clear table. She found one next to the front window, with two seats.

Troy ordered and paid for the coffees, and took them to where Gabriella was sitting.

"Thanks"

"Its ok." Troy said.

There was a short silence, and Troy decided to break it.

"How many months are you?"

"Nine months in three days." replied Gabriella.

"I need to ask you something."

"Go for it."

"Am I the dad?"

"Yes! I would never cheat on you!"

"I know, I just wanted to make sure."

"Sorry for shouting. It's my hormones."

"Why didn't you tell me?" he said.

"I was scared. I didn't want to ruin your career."

"It wouldn't though."

"How wouldn't it?"

"Because I quit it."

"WHY?"

"It wasn't only me. The rest of the team did the same. We all had no social life, and all we were doing was training and doing matches, so we were just getting more and more tired because of the amount of exercise we did each day."

"Oh. So what are you going to do now?"

"Go back to school. What about you? I mean because of the baby."

"Well, when it is a few months old, I will go back to school and my mum said she will look after our baby."

"I haven't told my parents yet."

"How about we finish our drinks and go round your parents' house?" said Gabriella.

"Ok."

Once they had finished, they got into the car and drove off to the Bolton's house.

When they were there, they unbuckled their seatbelts and got out of the car.

Troy pulled his keys out of his pocket and found his door key. He then inserted the key and turned it, which made the door unlock. He turned the door handle and went inside, with Gabriella following after him.

"Hey mom, and dad."

"Hi Troy." they both greeted.

"Long time, no see Gabriella." Mrs Bolton said, and Gabriella smiled.

Mr Bolton, saw Gabriella's bump and gasped.

"Umm… Gabriella's pregnant." Troy said with a smile on his face.
