Hey thanks for the reviews! Heres another chapter which is kind of a heart to heart family moment for the Bolton's. I hope you all enjoy it!
This chapter was inspired by the song Breakable by Ingrid Michaelson. It's not a songfic chapter but you can listen to the song at listened to this song a some of her other songs while writing this chapter and it just kind of helped me write and I thought it was kind of about the chapter, it just fit it really perfectly. But enough talking ill let you get on with the chapter.
Title: The Life we Live
Disclaimer: I own nothing relating to HSM. But I am looking for my own Troy Bolton to own wink wink

Chapter Ten
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
About 30 minutes later the Bolton's, and Maria arrived with Blane.
"Gaby? Troy?" Maria said poking her head into the room, they looked over.
"I have someone who wants to see you!" She said as she opened the door to reveal a shy Blane.
"Thanks mom" Gaby said as she patted a seat on her bed for Blane, he slowly and hesitantly walked over to her.
"Come on bud, it's still me, i'm still Mommy!" Gaby said opening her arms up, he nodded.
"Daddy can you lift me?" He asked with such innocence.
"Sure bud" Troy said as he lifted Blane onto Gaby's bed where he sat parallel from Gaby crisscross apple sauce to be specific . Troy sat facing them the 3 of them making a triangle.
"Blane sweetie, we need to talk to you about something" Gaby told their son.
"We need to tell you about what's going to be happening these next months" Troy told him taking over for Gaby, Blane nodded.
"Something's wrong, isn't it?" Blane asked scared, even though he knew something was going on from the conversation he heard going between his father and grandparents. He didn't quite understand it though because of the medical terms.
"No sweetie, things are just going to be a little different", Gaby said giving her son a sweet smile.
"So Mommy's baby in her tummy got scared because of stress and it's not growing properly", Troy explained in the simplest way.
"Is Mommy's baby going to be okay?" Blane immediately asked.
"Yea Mommy and the baby are going to be just fine!" Gaby reassured their son.
"So in a couple months Mommy will come back to the hospital and they are going to give Mommy some medicine to help the baby grow more, and Mommy is going to be home for the rest of the time that the baby is in Mommy's tummy and sometime after that" Troy told Blane.
"When the baby's born will it be okay then?" Blane asked.
"Yea, it might have to put it into an incubator for a little bit to help it grow even more but the baby will be fine" Gaby lied to her son, she was unsure herself.
"You also need to help me make sure Mommy rests a lot and when she gets bigger she won't be able to take you to school so Grandma Maria is going to stay with us after Mommy gets the medicine to help the baby grow" Troy told him, the little boy was smart and understood what was going on. He also knew his parent's might be lying about the baby being okay, he knew that things weren't okay and he was scared.
"Mommy, I'm scared!" Blane cried as he leaned scooted quickly to his mom's side burying his face into her chest and hugging her tightly.
"Me too buddy! But everything is going to be okay!" Gaby told her son as she gave Troy a sympathetic look. Troy wrapped his arm around Gaby's neck and kissed her hair and temple as the family cried together. Lucy, Maria, and Taylor were all watching the family and crying themselves. It hurt to see Gabriella and Troy like this. It especially hurt to see Blane go through this.

It was a couple days later and today Gaby was leaving the hospital. The doctor had told her to stay in bed and rest for a couple more days at home.
"Alright, Mr. Bolton just sign here and then your wife is free to go" A nurse named Michelle said in a cheery voice at the front desk. Troy signed the paper on the clipboard.
"Thanks" Troy said as he walked over to Gaby's room, Gaby was sitting on top of her bed with her legs hanging off thinking. She was dressed in a pair of plain maternity jeans and a gray maternity tank top with a black sweater and gray flats, her hair was up in a loose bun with curls framing her face beautifully, and the sun shining on her at the perfect angle.
'She looks like a peaceful angel' Troy thought smiling to herself.
"Ready to go?" He asked pulling her out of her trance. She smiled and nodded before grabbing her purse and sitting down in the wheelchair, hospital policy, Troy grabbed her duffel bag and hooked it onto the handles of the wheel chair before wheeling her outside to the curb where Gabriella'a Silver Audi was. Troy helped Gabriella into the front seat and placed her bags in the back seat before getting in the front. Then they drove off to the Bolton's house.
Once they arrived at the house Gaby was about to get out of the car but Troy was already there to help her out.
"Thank you Baby" Gaby said as she grabbed Troy's hand and got out of the car. She opened the backdoor to get her bag but Troy grabbed it before she did.
"Sweetie, I think I can carry my own bag it's like less than a pound heavy! Save your energy for when my mood swings get worse and for when the baby comes, that's when you'll be doing some serious lifting!" Gaby giggled and he laughed too.
"Brie, It's fine I'll carry it you should be resting" Troy said kissing her.
"Alright thank you" Gaby said as he put his arm around her and they went inside. When they were inside Blane heard his parents come in and rushed towards them.
"Mommy! I missed you!" Blane said hugging his Mommy.
"I missed you too sweetie, but we have a week before you start school so you and me can be together while Daddy's at work" Gaby said kissing his forehead.
"Yay!" Blane said before running off to his room to play with his toys.
"Mija are you feeling okay? Do you need to rest?" Maria asked her daughter.
"No Mom, I'm fine. I think I did enough resting at the hospital" Gaby laughed.
"Ella, the doctor said your supposed to take it easy." Troy told her.
"I know baby but I'll be fine for a while" Gaby said as he put his arm around her.
"Was Blane good for you?" Gaby asked her mother.
"He was a little angel. All he talked about was how excited he was to be a big brother, how he wanted a little sister, how much he loved the baby, How much he loved his Mommy and Daddy and how much he hoped his Mommy and the baby were safe!" Maria gushed and Gaby had tears in his eyes, now she was full on crying onto Troy's shoulder except she had a smile on her face.
"Mood Swings" Troy mouthed to his mother-in-law who laughed and smiled at her daughter.
"Come on baby why don't you go take a nap?" Troy suggested and Gaby nodded as he picked her up and carried her upstairs.
"There you go baby" Troy said kissing her forehead as he gently laid her on the bed, then he went to their closet and grabbed a fleece blanket for her.
"Will you lay with me?" She asked as she sniffled a bit and he handed her a tissue.
"Of course" He said as he kissed her forehead and rubbed small circles on her back. Before he knew it Gaby's eyes were slowly closing and she was asleep.
"Night Brie, Sweet Dreams" He said kissing her forehead and then wrapping his arms around her and falling asleep with her.
