Pregnant By A Bully - Chapter 10 - It's My Baby

Troy's POV

I'm glad that my parents now knew about the baby and they reacted in the way that they did and I was so glad that Maria and George have spoken to my mom and dad about the baby and how we can all work together to make it as easy as possible for everyone involved. Both of our moms have been great and have said they would baby-sit for us whilst we were at school and college but because Maria works she wouldn't be able to baby-sit as much but my mom doesn't work and said she would baby-sit everyday if that was what we needed to help with school and homework. George had been great to Gabriella even though he wasn't her dad and just her moms boyfriend. He had come home from work last week and had brought Gabriella a mosses basket for her bedroom which was sweet of him.

Things between Gabriella and I have been going great and we've been working together to make sure we can help each other to raise the baby but things have been hard at school because everyone is still saying that Gabriella's baby isn't mine and I should get a DNA test and all sorts. She tried to put on a hard face but I knew it was bothering her and I have decided that I was going to shout it from the roof of the school if I had to that the baby she was carrying was my baby and I was going to help her raise the baby. I have promised myself that I am going to try and get everyone to stop bullying her with the help of Jason and Zeke who had been great to her.

As I pulled up to school I saw Gabriella sitting at the fountain. It was November and cold out so I went over to her to make sure that she was OK "Hey. It's cold out. Are you OK?" I asked her as I sat down next to her.

"Just need a bit of fresh air. I've got a little bit of a stomach ache and I've been a little sick the past couple of days" She told me.

"Then go to the hospital" I told her.

"I told my mom if I wasn't feeling better by tomorrow then I'll go to hospital and if I do go to hospital I will call you and let you know" She said to me.

I walked with her to homeroom and brought her a bottle of water from a vending machine on the way and told her to call me if she needed anything during the day whether it be her wanting to go to hospital or if she just wanted someone to talk to.

The day went on I became more and more worried about Gabriella and I knew she had gym class with my dad so I went and told him that Gabriella had stomach pains and she had been getting sick all night. He said that he wouldn't make her take part in gym today and he would sit with her on the bleachers during the class and keep a close eye on her.

I peeked into the class and saw Gabriella and my dad sitting on the bleachers whilst the rest of the class was playing basketball. He told her something and she nodded and walked towards the door where I was standing.

"You OK?" I asked when she came out.

"Yeah I'm just going to get a bottle of water" She told me.

I walked to the vending machine and got her another bottle of water, her fourth one today and I walked her back to her class and made sure she made it to my dad. I walked away and went to the library for the rest of my free period. Finding out that I was going to be a dad I have been studying harder then I had ever studied in my life because I wanted to graduate on time and go to a decent college and get a decent job so I can support my baby and Gabriella. Whether or not we are a couple she knows that I will always be there for her if she ever needs anything whether it's boyfriend advice, financial help, college stuff… anything.

At lunch time I watched Gabriella get a sandwich and another bottle of water before walking out of the canteen and I was about to go after when Chad grabbed my arm and pulled me back "Why are you going after her? I know you think that she's carrying your baby but how do you know that's your baby? If she can sleep with you that easily who else do you think she might have slept with? I wouldn't get too attached to her and that kid she's having until you get a DNA test to prove that it's your kid. I guarantee you it's not your kid but she's telling you that it is because you're the only one willing to step up and be a dad to this kid. You're the easy target with a car and a job" He said.

"OK I am clearing this up right now!" I shouted and everyone went quiet in the canteen when they heard me shouting "I don't give a damn what rumours you lot are spreading but Gabriella Montez is pregnant with my child! I don't care whether you believe me or not but I know the truth and I swear to God if any of you hurt or upset her then you'll have me to deal with and I don't care whether you're a girl or boy!" When I finished my speech I left the canteen and went after Gabriella and found her sitting in the gym.

"You OK?" I asked and sat down next to her.

She smiled softly at me "Yeah I'll be OK" She simply answered.

"You not hungry?" I asked looking at her uneaten sandwich.

"No not really. I just wanna go home to bed" She told me and sipped her water.

"Want me to take you home?" I asked and she nodded.

I drove us back to Gabriella's house and on the way I called my dad and told him that Gabriella wasn't feeling good and I was probably going to stay with her until George or Maria came home. I didn't want her to be alone when she was feeling this bad and he told me that he would clear it with the head teacher. We got to her house I took her bag and walked with her up to her bedroom where she had already set up the mosses basket George got her. It was the first time I had actually seen it. It was really nice, it was a cream colour with teddy bears on it "Why don't you get some comfier clothes on and get in bed and I will get you a glass of water" I told her and she nodded as I left the room to get her a glass of water.

I get back upstairs and saw her tucked up in bed and put the glass of water on the bedside table before going round to the other side of the bed and I sat down next to her "Troy you don't think something is seriously wrong do you? With the baby I mean?" She questioned.

"I don't know Gabriella. I really hope that everything is OK but we won't know until you go the hospital and get checked out by a doctor" I told her.

"I'm scared" She admitted and started crying.

I brought my arms around her and hugged her as she started crying. I rubbed her back comfortingly but I was just as scared as her that something was really wrong with her or the baby. I was scared that she was going to lose the baby "How about me and you go on our own to the hospital?" I asked her.

"No I'll wait until tomorrow I might have just eaten something funny that's all and I might be fine tomorrow and I would feel silly going up there for something stupid. I promise you that if I'm not feeling well tomorrow then I will go to the hospital and I will call you and let you know" She told me and I nodded.

The rest of the afternoon Gabriella and I laid on her bed and talked about the baby but I could see that she was getting upset so we ended up putting a movie on and it was only 20 minutes into the movie, that she chose to watch, she fell asleep. I got off her bed and turned the TV off and went downstairs and turned the TV on down there so I was still here until her mom or George came home. I really didn't want her to be here on her own like this and I knew they usually worked late and they wouldn't be home until around 6:30pm - 7:00pm so I would stay here with her until then.

Gabriella came downstairs and was surprised to see me still sitting here. She came and sat down next to me "Can I be really cheeky and ask you if you could go out and get me some food?" She asked me.

I laughed and nodded at her "What do you want?" I asked.

"Can I have a McDonalds please?" She asked and I nodded and stood up "Let me go and get my purse" She said.

"Don't be silly I'll get you it" I told her.

"Can I come for the drive?" She asked.

"Yeah of course you can" I told her.

She went upstairs to go and get her shoes then she came back down and we went out to my car and went to the McDonalds drive through. I ordered her meal and decided to get for myself then we went back to her place. We got in we put it on some plates and went into the living room and put the TV on as we ate our dinner together.
