Walking into the hopsital room, extreme sadness hit Sharpay. Seeing Gabriella lying there with a tube down her throat, her hair fallen to the side, bags under her eyes, it made the feeling more heavy. She took a seat next to her bed waiting for the family to come. She smiled moving a piece of hair from her face. She looked at the monitors that read a healthy heartbeat, and the ivys strung down connecting to her arm.

"Hey babe." She said grabbing her warm hand. She held it carefully as two ivys were stuck there. "I hope you're feeling better." She tried to keep the tears back. "Im glad you're okay though. You scared me half to death. But you'd be happy finding out that I actually ran for you. The twins are good though. You'd be freaking out." She looked up to the monitor again.

Troy was standing out in the hallway listening to Sharpay speak to her. He didn't want to see what his girlfriend looked like. He didn't want to see her with ivys in her arms and the many equipments set up to her. He closed his eyes taking a deep breath still not wanting to enter.

"Hey, you even had my hot boyfriend give you cpr. What a kiss of life." She said laughing calmly. "They said it might be a day or two before you wake up. I understand. At least you don't look like you're dying." He hesitated so much with wanting to walk in or not. He knew he'd break down in tears and cry. He took a step...But stopped.

"Well. I'm going to give Troy another call baby. Just don't wake up without me here. I will kill you...Wait. No. I shouldn't have said that!" She said trying to calm down. She stood up and kissed her forehead leaving the room. She stopped afraid seeing Troy. "I almost just pee'd my pants." She said looking at him. "Go in. It's not that bad." He tried taking another step but he couldn't move. She groaned and grabbed him, and threw him forcefully into the room. She walked away and he stood there frozen.

"Oh god." She looked lively, but dead at the same time. It was the fact that she had a machine breathing for her that made everything look scary. He walked over kissing her forehead. He stared at all the needles that were in her arms, and the heart monitors hooked up to her chest. She grabbed her arm, noting that she was warm like she has for the past few days. He smiled seeing that everything was stable, but the fact that she was in the hospital scared him.

Lucielle walked in and checked her ivy bag, and monitored her heart beat.

"Hey sweetie." She said kissing his forehead. "Are you alright?" He nodded looking back at Gabby. "Adele's here. When everyone's in here, the doctor will tell everyone what's up." Adele just then stormed in with Sharpay following behind her slowly. Lucielle walked out to get the doctor.

"Oh my baby." Adele said walking up to the bed. She hugged a stunned Troy and then stood next to the bed stroking her cheek. "What's wrong with her?"

"Well she had respitory failure." The female doctor said walking in. She shook everyone's hand. "I'am Doctor Kelly." Everyone nodded at the brunette. "We ran some tests to determine if she has pheumonia or other infections. She infact does have a serious case of pnuemonia. With that, for her to be in a serious condition, her immune system is weak. She doesn't have any HIV/AIDS virus, but she has a weak immune system. As for recovery, she will need about a month of care. We will supply antibiotics, but if it counter reacts with her immune system meds, then I will take her off of them both. In the meanwhile, her body just temporarily shut down due to trama." They all nodded. "She might need a day or two to wake up, but she will be just fine."

"Can she die?" Sharpay asked afraid.

"In some cases the patients do die, but we have intensive care for her. And don't worry just because it's a serious stage. She will power through it. Any questions?" She asked. No one asked. "Alright, well have a nice rest of the day, and if you need anymore questions, You can get the desk to contact me." She walked out and Lucielle walked back in. Sharpay coughed slightly and Adele looked like she was going to have a heart attack.

"Lucy, would it be alright if Gabby stayed at your house for the remainder of her illness." Troy looked up quickly and smiled. "I don't want Sharpay to catch this, neither for the babies to be harmed. Since you have pretty short hours, I figured it be okay?" Lucielle nodded happily.

"I'd love to." Sharpay looked like she just lost her friend. She knew that Gabby would be comfortable there and would want to move in with Troy and his family. Troy frowned seeing her frown.

"Okay. That's good. I just don't want Sharpay to get sick." Lucielle nodded.

"I completely understand."

With Sharpay sleeping on the couch in the corner, and Troy sleeping in the chair with his head resting on the bed, holding her hand, A familiar face walked in awaking Troy.

"Chad?" He asked as the boy ran a hand through his thick curly hair. "What are you doing here?" He asked standing up, yawning.

"I heard what happened. I'm sorry man." He gave Troy a hug then pulled back giving him a card. "It's for both of you." He smiled. Troy opened it and a picture of Gabby hugging Chad at a dance that they were at fell into his hands. He smiled.

"Thanks." He said. "Uhh, here, take a seat." He pulled up another chair next to her bed.

"Are you coming to school tomorrow?" Chad asked looking over to the snoring Sharpay.

"Yeah, I have to go to that stupid basketball practice." He yawned. Chad looked at his watch. It was 11:30. Since they were still off for thanksgiving break, they still had basketball practice.

"I'll give you guys a ride home, you can sleepover if you want." Troy nodded standing up and staring at his love. She was lying there not even moving. He wondered if she'd wake up when he was there the next day. Sharpay woke quickly too as they gathered their stuff together. Troy looked at her hoping that she wouldn't wake up now. He walked over and kissed her forehead before walking out. "I'll bring you guys back practice."

"As long as I get food, I'm in." Sharpay said half asleep walking with the guys.

"So I hear you're dating Shawn?" They began a conversation with each other while Troy blocked them out, listening for if something happened to her room. Entering the elevator, the door shut slowly and Troy looked down. As soon as the doors shut, a code was signaled on the beepers, and the doctors ran fullspeed at Gabby's room.

"Thanks for the ride." Troy said lying down on Chad's pull out. He couldn't sleep at all and sighed lying there as he wiped his eyes.

"No problem. I know how much she means to you." He smiled patting his back. "Get some sleep alright?" Chad walked up stairs and shut his door. Troy remained there in silence before slowly falling asleep.

"Hey baby." Lucielle said stroking her hair.

"Lucielle." She said raspy.

"Code blue room 290." Signalled on everyones beeper on her case. The doctors ran at her room as they saw the girl choking on the tube. Sedating her gently, she calmed down as they removed the tube from her throat, she began coughing heavily. Lucielle ran in the room patting her back roughly for the mucus to come out of her chest. They put an air tube around her nose, and another grabbed an air pump and gave her some extra air. Getting her to relax.

"How are you feeling?" She looked around afraid and weak. She closed her eyes.

"Like shit." She said again raspy. Lucielle smiled and laughed, looking at her ivy bags, and checking her heart rate. Gabby was breathing heavily. "What happened? Did I get hit by a car?" She said hesitantly. Sentences for her would be a challenge for the next few days. Lucielle laughed and sat on the edge of her bed.

"You went for a run-"

"I remember that." She said tired. Lucielle looked at her now, confused why she looked deathly sick then previous. Her bags under her eyes grew, her face was more pale, and she looked like she got hit with many bricks.

"And you collapsed and went into respitory failure. Your lungs couldn't breath for you, so we had to put you on a defibulator." She gulped and closed her eyes.

"What's wrong with me?" She asked scared and spoke choppy again.

"You have pneumonia sweetie." Gabby looked stunned, but shook it off.

"I'm going to die right?" She asked calmly. Lucielle grabbed her hand tightly and looked at her.

"I'm not going to let that happen to you. Never." She kissed her hand and Gabby coughed real hard. She bent over and coughed up mucus into the pan. She looked at Lucielle in pain.

"I have a weak immune system. I have a double chance of dying from this." She knew that she wasn't in the best of health, and this made Lucielle wonder.

"Baby, you will be fine." She stood up and kissed her forehead. "Get some rest alright?" Gabby nodded and with a blink of an eye, she knocked out.

Walking into the builiding the next day, Troy ran to the room and took a deep breath before walking in. He stopped quickly as a huge smile appeared across his face. She was off the tube, and was being assisted with her breathing through a nose tube. She was sleeping, but the excitement of her being on her own made everything better. He took his jacket off and threw his backpack on the couch. While his back faced her, she was startled and woke up hearing the noise.

"Who are you?" She asked raspy. Troy turned around so she could see him from the front. "What are you doing in my room?" Troy's heart dropped and his face completely dropped aswell. She smiled and giggle quietly. "You should have seen your face." She said raspy and choppy.

"You asshole." He said with a huge smile on his face. He kissed her forehead. "How are you?" He asked sighing relieved.

"Like complete shit." She said yawning and closing her eyes. "I feel like I'm dying." She said honestly. He held her hand tight.

"I know. You scared me to death." She rolled her eyes.

"I think I scared us all." She turned her head away from him and she closed her eyes.

"You alright?" He asked her as she turned back to him slowly.

"No. I'm exhausted. I'm sick. I feel like someone hit me with a car." She coughed and looked at him. "I feel like I'm going to die. And I might." She said calmly again, having death not scare her.

"Do you want me to get you a nurse?" He asked as she shook her head. She closed her eyes.

"GABRIELLA!" Sharpay screamed running in and squeezing her for a hug. Gabby tried to throw her off of her, but she was weak. Sharpay let go and Gabby remained frozen.

"OWW!" She said as her body began to ache. She dropped her arms and then looked at them. "HELLO IVY'S?" She said angrily trying to breath.

"Oh my god! Sorry! But I was so excited!" She said smiling. Gabby closed her eyes and Sharpay looked worried. "Are you okay though?"

"She's weak right now." Lucielle said walking in the room. She did her rounds and gave her more medicine. Gabby fell asleep as everyone was in the room. They were all confused except Lucielle.

"Why is she like this though?" Troy asked later on in the night while they did homework in the room. Sharpay was on her laptop searching baby clothes. Lucielle fixed her sheets keeping herself busy.

"She's just exhausted. This is a serious illness Troy. She's not going to wake up and be all giddy!" Lucielle said paranoid. "I see people die from this. Don't you understand how serious she's being watched right now!" She yelled at him. She walked out of the room flustered. Sharpay looked over to Gabby who was completely knocked out. She looked back at Troy with tears in her eyes.

"You don't think she would die." She asked not keeping it together. Troy stood up and wrapped his arms around her giving her a comforting hug. He kissed her forehead.

"She's too strong to die." They both looked over to her sleep heavily. Her chest rose, then fell back. They could hear the struggle escape from her throat behind the noise of the monitors. She started coughing lightly, but for her, it was a challenge. Slowly opening up her eyes, she saw the two looking at her. She blinked a couple of times, then closed her eyes, falling back into sleep.

"She will need a couple of more days to recover right?" She asked him. He nodded watching her stir in her sleep.

"She should be fine tomorrow." He said with hope in his eyes.

Falling asleep at the hosptial, Gabby woke up late in the night. She saw Troy sleeping on the edge of her bed. His body slanted while sitting in the seat. She yawned feeling more energetic looking right at him. She hit the call button for the nurse as she sat up stretching, but feeling like vomitting. Lucielle walked in, with her expression changing from gloomy to happy. She smiled at her and walked over.

"Hey baby." Lucielle said, and for the first time she saw her, her face lit up.

"Hi." Gabby said raspy, but getting better.

"I see you're looking good." Gabby smiled but frowned quickly. Troy was stirring in his sleep hearing them conversate.

"But, I feel like throwing up." She said well without hesitiation. "I mean, is it normal?" She was reaching for the pan, and Lucielle gave it to her as she threw up. She soothed her back and Troy immediatly sat up worried, and tired.

"It's alright." Lucielle said as Troy stood up, walking over to get ice chips for her. Gabby still remained sitting, but this time looking ten times better. Troy yawned and gave her the ice chips and smiled seeing her lively.

"How are you?" He asked sitting on the edge of the bed. She combed her hair back.

"I feel fine. I need to take a shower, and much better then this morning." She said with a smile. Lucielle put a thermometer in her mouth, and walked out of the room. Troy looked into her eyes and smiled.

"I'm glad you're okay now. You were so sick this morning." Gabby nodded and looked around. Lucielle walked back in and pulled the thermometer out of her mouth. Lucielle looked at it, then felt her face.

"You have a 101.8 fever. You feel fine?" Gabby nodded. Looking at Troy dead in the face. He looked back at her wondering why she was staring at him like that. His eyes were droopy and his features were tired. His hair was ruffled and he was slightly growing a beard. She noted that it was sexy, but continued to study his features again. His eyes were piercing back into hers as he sat there looking serious and tough into her eyes. "Alright, I will be right back." Lucielle said. Troy was the first to speak.

"What's wro-"

"I should be asking you. You looked like you haven't slept in days." She said concerened looking at him. "I'm going to be fine, stop freaking out." She patted next to her as he walked over and sat on the side she was directing him too. "No, lay down with me." He nodded and did what she said lying a little bit higher on the pillow looking down into her face as she lied back. "Listen to me." She stared. "Stop worrying. The worst is behind us. I'm going to be fine." He sighed.

"Can't I just worry about you for once?" She laughed really hard and he smiled.

"You always worry you butthead." She finished laughing and looked at him smiling.

"I love you." He said leaning down to finally kiss her after the longest time. She kissed back and smiled. He kissed her again as she murmured, "I love you too." Pulling back and looking at him she smiled widely.

"This five o'clock shadow you have going on. It's the sexiest turn on ever." He chuckled and smiled as she said this.

"I was gunna get rid of it, but I'll keep it just for you." He kissed her nose.

"Well aren't I the lucky one." She joked.
