A few months later, Troy and Gabriella were getting things ready for their wedding. Gabriella was in the kitchen, wearing a pink robe, and pink sweats with pink slippers walking to the fridge. Troy was sitting at the table eating some cereal. "Hey baby, good morning? how's baby bolton doing?" she giggled, "Fine." she opened the fridge, "Man I'm starved." she grabbed some hersey syrup and leaned her head back dumping all the syrup in her mouth.
Troy chuckled, walking up to her and taking it from her hand. "Hey!" Gabriella scolded, but her serious tone was taken over by a giggle, he laughed. "Come on...I just want to share...give me some chocolate-"
"mine!" Gabriella laughed, reaching for it, Troy held it out of her reach. "No..mine.." he pressed his lips against hers; his lips against her chocolate covered ones. She giggled, "Now your dirty.." she pulled away from him, taking back her chocolate. Troy chuckled, "you got me dirty..you got dirty first."
He chuckled, "I made you some eggs." She smiled, "awe that's sweet, you didn't have to do that." she took a seat at the counter, and he gave her the plate of scrambled eggs with a side of toast and bacon. "I hope you like them." she smiled sweetly, taking the chocolate syrup from his hands and pouring it all over her scrambled eggs.
She layed the chocolate syrup bottle on the table and took her fork and mixed the chocolate in with her scrambled eggs and took a bite. she smiled, "Omg! this taste amazing! thanks Troy." he looked at her, "Brie.. eggs? chocolate syrup?"
Gabriella sighed, "Troy. I have weird food cravings alright? like last night, while you were at practice, I ate dipped pickles in the vaniella ice cream...I'm carrying your child! don't make fun of me!" she crossed her arms. Moodswings.
Troy smirked, shaking his head, "Hey...I know that but still-" "Don't knock it till you try it." "You know I'd love to try it-" "GREAT!" Gabriella cheered, stabbing a chocolate covered egg with her fork and holding out to him. "There you go!" Before Troy could protest, she shoved the eggs in his mouth, he gagged. "Eugh!" he yanked out the fork with the eggs still on them, "How do you...Brie that's-" "delicious." "Disgusting." "That's your opinion."
Troy chuckled, and she giggled. "Hey, I'm going to get dressed at the church...Taylor-you know her from school right?"-she nods-"well I kind of asked her to help you get ready..She's bringing Sharpay." Gabriella smiled, "Old school friends-wait a minute, they weren't my friends they were people who said hi and nothing more to me in the halls-"
"Hey, my blushing bride needs help getting ready.." Gabriella blushed on cue when he said 'blushing bride'. "I'll see you at the church." "I'll be the one in the white." " ."
Troy smiled, kissing her cheek, "I'm going to get to the church. see you soon my beautiful bride." she smiled, "I love you." and they kissed passionately, then Troy left. Gabriella sighed gathering up the dishes and putting them in the sink. there was a knock on the door.
Gabriella sighed, "I guess it's time to get ready." Gabriella said walking to the door. she opened the door to find Carlos. her brother. "Gabs-" "Carlos.. what..what are you doing here?"
He sighed, his hands stuffed in his pockets, "I..I heard you were getting married?" she rolled her eyes, "why do you care? you just keep doubting Troy don't love me.. why do you care if I'm getting married?"
Carlos sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, "Hey...I just came to talk-" "No. Goodbye." she started to shut the door in his face, but he caught the door. "Can we please talk?" Gabriella shook her head, "No, I'm sorry...but I'm busy and I can't deal with any stress right now."
"I would like to talk to you-wait, what do you mean 'can't deal with any stress right now'? Your not..you can't be.." Gabriella crossed her arms over her chest, pulling at her robe and emphasizing her round, impregnated belly.
Carlos narrowed his eyes, "I'm going to kill that bastard.." "You will not touch him!" she yelled, "He ruined you!" "He loves me!" "You don't know what love is Gabriella! Your a child-" "NO!" she yelled, I quit being a child the minute I left home and went away from you! He loves me! Now get out!"
"NO! You're coming home with me-" "NO! I'm not now get out! Just because nobody loves you-" "Don't you say that! Rachel loves me! She loves me more than anything!"
She rolled her eyes, "So does Troy-" "That bastard got you pregnant! I'm going to fucking kill him!" Gabriella pushed him, "No! your not going to hurt him! this me and Troy's baby! and your just going to have to deal with it! Troy said himself he can't wait for this baby to be born! and neither can I!" Carlos looked at her, "You.. You had such a bright future before he came into your life-"
"Wrong! My life went from bright to living hell when I left 5 years ago!" "Gabs! I will not let you marry him!" Gabriella glared at him, "NO! I love him! he means the world to me, him and my baby! and I mean the same to him!"
Carlos grabbed her shoulders, "You mean nothing to him! Can't you see that? Or are you just so stupid?!" Slap! His head jolted to the side, he brought a hand to his cheek and looked at her in shock. She slapped him. She..slapped HIM.
"Don't.." Gabriella said lowly, "don't call me that, and don't talk down to Troy! You think you know me! You don't know me! Just leave! I hate you!" she pounded on his chest, "I hate you! I hate you! I hate yo-ah!"
Gabriella slides down on the floor. "oww..." Carlos looks at her, "What?" she bit her lip, tears escaping her eyes, "O..Owww...The..The baby.." his eyes widened, "I..I.." she sobbed, "Oww.." she held onto her stomach.
Carlos paniced and ran out of the house. Gabriella rolled on the floor gripping her stomach trying to crawl over to the phone to call Troy. but it was no use.
Sharpay and Taylor knocked on the front door, "Gabs! were here for your wedding day!" they smiled squealing outside the door. Taylor opened the door. "Gabi?" Taylor opened the door wider going inside.
her eyes found Gabriella's body on the floor. "Gabriella!" she ran to her getting down on her knees. Sharpay gasped coming over next to sharpay. Gabriella was passed out. "Gabriella! wake up!"
Sharpay bit her lip, "We need to call the guys at the church." Taylor nodded grabbing the phone off the table and dialed chad's number.
Chad, Troy and Zeke were helping him fix his tie. "You nervous dude?" Chad asked. Troy sighed, "Kind of. I mean, I've waited for this moment my whole life, I just.. I hope everything goes right." Chad smiled, "they will. I promise." then his phone went off.
He looked down at it, "Have to get this, it's taylor." Troy smiled, "Probably seeing if we're ready." Chad answered the phone, "Hello...Tay.. calm down, whats wrong?" Troy grew worried, "What's wrong? Is Gabriella okay?" Chad held up his finger, "What! Okay Tay! Okay! just get her there, we'll be there soon, bye."
He hung up the phone rubbing his forehead. "Chad...what's going on?" Troy gulped. Chad looked at him, "Troy.. I.. They found Gabriella passed out on the floor...when they got there.."
"What?!" Troy yelled, the Pastor at the front of the church "Uh..I mean, Chad can I talk to you." before Chad could utter a syllable, Troy pulled him into the confession and that's when he started screaming in harsh whispers, "What happened? Why was Gabriella passed out on the floor?" "Dude, I don't know! I just...talk to Taylor!"
Troy bit his lip, "No. I need to get to the hospital. I need to see her." and with that he ran into the bathroom chaning back into his clothes and rushing with Chad to the hospital.
At The Hospital.
Taylor bit her lip sitting with Sharpay in the waiting room. Then Troy rushed in, "what happened?" Taylor sighed, "We.. don't know. we came there to get her ready, and we found her laying on the floor unconcious.."
Troy bit his lip, "Was there anyone there before you two?" Taylor shook her head, "I don't think so." Right then, the doctor walked in. Troy looked at him, "how is she doctor?" The doctor sighed, "Gabriella will be fine. she just needs rest, we gave her some medication to help her sleep...but for the baby, were sorry to infrom you mister bolton but Gabriella lost the baby due to stress."
Troy's throat clenched, "wh..what...she lost the-the baby?" The doctor nodded, "I'm sorry Mister Bolton." Troy bit his inner cheek, "Can I...can I see her?" "She's asleep right now.." "I need to see her." The doctor sighed, "All right, but quickly. She can't handle anymore stress."
Troy nodded, following the doctor into Gabriella's room. he walked in and saw her laying in the bed asleep, hooked up to wires. he sighed going over to her and grabbing her hand, "I'm so sorry this happened to you... today was suppose to be the best day of your life, but ended up being your worst, I'm so so sorry Brie.."
Gabriella didn't flinch at his touch, but her eyes were fluttering. he kissed her forehead, "Please wake up." Gabriella stirred, and her eyes flutter open, It was blurry, she couldn't see anything. "T-Troy?" "Brie..it's me.." she bit her lip, "I..everything's blurry..where am I? what happened?"
"Shh..." Troy whispered, running his fingers through her hair, "you're in the hospital-" "What?" Gabriella looked at him, "the hospital? Troy...oh my...the baby! Troy I'm sorry...but...Carlos he stopped by...I just..he wouldn't leave-" "Carlos was at our house?" Troy said, sounding a bit miffed.
Gabriella looked at him, "he was trying to tell me that you didn't love me, I was trying to get him to leave and then he found out I was pregnant...he accused you of ruining my life-" "Why was...I'm going to kill the fucking asshole!" her eyes widened, she grabbed his wrist, "Troy no! Carlos said he'd do the same thing...I don't want to lose you..I lost you once-"
"I'll be fine, it's him that'll end up dead. He hurt you for the last time Brie. I'm going to kill him." She shook her head, "No! Please! Troy-" "Did he even help you?" She bit her lip, "I'm...no, he didn't-" "Then I'm going to kill him, bring him back, then kill him again."
Gabriella bit her lip, "Troy.. I.. please-" Troy grabbed her shoulders, "Brie...it's okay." he kissed her lips, "Brie.. he.. he put you in the hospital, and..and killed our baby." he sighed, "It's..It isn't right Brie...just because he hates me, he didn't need to take it out on you, or that baby!"
She bit her lip, "Troy..I.. I'm sorry.." he looked at her, "You have nothing to be sorry for, do you hear me? nothing!" she sniffled up her tears, "I don't understand why he hates you so much Troy... did..did you do something to him? something I should know about?"
Troy sighed, "Brie.. I.. I'm not really sure.. I do have something that could be why he does hate me?" Gabriella bit her lip, "What is it?" he sighed, grabbing her hand, "You remember that... that one night, when Shar had that party. after the east high championship game?.. and me and you had that hotel key and we had sex in the hotel room, for the first time?"
Gabriella nodded, "Yes. that was the greatest night of my life." she smiled, then she frowned, "Until later that night." he frowned, , "I was drinking that night Brie...and when we had that car accident, I think that's when he ended up hating me, cause..cause I could of lost you that night.. they said you died on impact, but it was a miracle you made it."
He had tears filling his eyes, " I never forgave myself for that anyway." Gabriella bit her lip, "Troy. don't blame yourself-" "Brie, If I wasen't stupid, and drank that night, I wouldn't of put you in the hospital that night.. I almost lost my life that night Brie too... I almost lost you." Gabriella hugged him, "Troy, It's okay.. I'm here, It's okay.." she cupped his cheeks, "things happen for a reason, God was there for me that night, there for us.." "But Brie-" "shh...Troy just kiss me." she whispered leaning her forehead on his.
Troy pecked his lips against hers, "I just am tired of this...one mistake-I'm sick of the fighting." Gabriella sighed, "I don't want to lose you Troy...please don't fight-" he looked down, and his voice was soft. "What if it's the only way to get him to listen? To reason?"
Gabriella's eyes widened again, "Troy please-" "Don't fight me on this Brie..he hurt you and me for the last time, I'm sick of how he treats you and...I'm doing something about it." "Troy-" "I'm sorry...but it has to be done."
Gabriella looked at him, "I.. I just don't want you to get hurt-" he tilted her chin, "hey, I won't get hurt.. I promise." she bit her lip, and sighed, "I just.. I don't want you to fight-" Troy sighed, "Brie, it's the only way-" "Troy-" "Brie, look what talking has done? it hasen't helped."
Gabriella sighed, "Okay. but only when I'm out of the hospital, okay?" he nodded, "I'll be here all day, and everyday until you out." she nodded, "And when we get out...I..I wanna try to have another baby again." she blushed.
Troy smiled bigger, "You mean it? You mean we can try to be family?" she giggled, "I wouldn't want nothing more." he smiled, "well then." he jumped on the bed, "Let's make them." she giggled, "Troy." he smiled, "I'm kidding." she rolled her eyes, "I meant after the wedding, and.. and after basketball season maybe?"
"Fair enough..." Troy said, kissing her lips gently. Gabriella smiled into the kiss. "Ahem..." they turned to see Chad, Sharpay, Taylor, and ...well the whole Lakers team. "Hey..er, guys..what's up?" Troy said.
Blake smiles, "Chad called...told us about Gabriella, we all ran right over." Gabriella smiled, "Well..thanks for coming." Troy smiled, grabbing her hand tightly in his own, "it seems like you're all our family." "Seems?" Chad exclaims, "I've known you since preschool!"
Troy chuckled, Gabriella smiled. Chad walked over to Gabriella, "I got you a teddy bear." Gabriella smiled, "Thanks Chad." Chad smiled, "Oh and this." 5 of the lakers came in with flowers, Balloons and Fruit baskets that said 'Get better Gabriella.' Gabriella giggled, "Umm.. Thanks guys, but it's not the necessary."
Troy smiled, "Gabs, let them. I mean." he whispered in her ear, "Wait till we try for a baby again..let's see what all we get." Gabriella smiled, and turned to the lakers, "Well, thanks so much guys." Chad smiled, "No problem."
