The next day, Gabriella went to the obstetrician that her doctor had recommend her to go to. Troy and Gabriella walked into the waiting room, signed in and sat down. Troy took Gabriella's hand and kissed it softly.
"I wonder if the baby is healthy?" Gabriella asked.
"I'm sure he or she is. Just relax Gab" Troy said.
Gabriella's name was called a couple minutes later. Gabriella and Troy followed the nurse after she got Gabriella's height and weight. The two were brought into a room and told that the doctor would be in soon. Gabriella sighed as the door closed and Troy held her hand. The doctor came in a couple minutes later.
"Hello, Gabriella. I'm Dr. Richards, I will be your doctor for the next nine months. Is this your husband?" Dr. Richards asked.
" Hi, I'm Troy, Gabriella's husband" Troy said introducing himself and shook the doctor's hand.
"Nice to meet you, Troy. Gabriella I want to do an ultrasound on you to see how far along you are" Dr. Richards said.
"Okay" Gabriella said.
Gabriella laid back down on the bed and Dr. Richards turned on the machine and lifted Gabriella's shirt. Troy held Gabriella's hand tightly. Dr. Richards started moving the wand around her stomach and stopped.
"There's your baby. He or she is very healthy and strong" Dr. Richards said as Troy and Gabriella looked at the screen.
"How far along am I?" Gabriella asked.
"Your about 3 months along. I'm putting your due date on December 15th" Dr. Richards said as she wiped off the gel from Gabriella's stomach.
Troy and Gabriella left the office with smiles on their faces. They got in the car and Troy finally started the conversation.
"I can't believe in six months, we are going to be parents, babe" Troy said excitedly.
"I know. We have to do so much stuff before he or she makes an appearance in the world though" Gabriella said.
"Yeah" Troy said.
They unlocked the door and went into the kitchen. Gabriella went to go get a glass of water and Troy sat on the counter watching her. Gabriella suddenly had a pain in her stomach and had a pained expression on her face.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Troy asked worried.
"Just cramps. My doctor said it was normal" Gabriella said with her hand on her stomach.
Troy got up and lifted her up. He carried Gabriella bridal style to their bedroom.
"Get some sleep, baby. You need to relax a little bit" Troy said kissing Gabriella on the lips.
"I love you" Gabriella said.
Troy smiled and put a stray hair behind her ear.
"I love you too, sweetheart" Troy said as he left the room.
A couple hours later, Gabriella woke up by the familiar wave of nausea.
"TROY!" Gabriella yelled.
Troy came running into the bedroom and walked her to the bathroom. Gabriella bent down in front of the toilet and emptied her stomach contents. Troy held her hair and rubbed her back soothingly. After she was done, she leaned on Troy and started crying.
"I know, baby. I know. Shhhh... Come on let's get you back to bed. I will stay" Troy said as he hugged his wife in his arms. Troy carefully lifted her up and Gabriella wrapped her arms around her husband's neck.
"Okay baby. I'm right here your okay" Troy said as he held Gabriella close in his arms.
"I'm sorry" Gabriella said apologetically.
"Why are you sorry Gabriella? This isn't your fault it just comes with the territory" Troy said.
"I am a burden on you" Gabriella said turning and facing the opposite way.
Troy brought her body closer to him and made her look at him in the eyes.
"Gabriella Bolton, you are not a burden on me. I love you very much, you would never be a burden on me, sweetie" Troy said seriously.
Gabriella snuggled into Troy's chest and they both fell asleep.
