Chapter 8- Here comes baby
"Excuse me, we need a doctor" Maria Montez said frantically to the middle aged woman at the reception desk
"Yes ma'am, whats the problem?" The woman asked
Maria looked around to see Gabriella seated in a plastic chair looking very pale and like she was going to pass out any second "My daughters bleeding" Maria said as she looked back at the woman
"Ok, just fill these out and a doctor should be out in around 20 minutes"
"No, you dont understand" Maria said getting annoyed "My daughters pregnant and she's bleeding"
"Oh, you should of said something I'll get a gynaecologist down straight away" The lady said before picking the phone up and dialling a number "I need a doctor....a young girl, she's pregnant and bleeding.....ok....ok, thanks" The lady hung up "A doctor should be down shortly, go wait with your daughter"
"Ok, thank you" Maria said before going over to Gabriella and sitting next to her, embracing her in a hug and kissing the top of her head "It'll be ok sweetie"
Gabriella let a sob escape her mouth "W-what i-if it is-snt?"
"Shh....It will be ok" Maria said squeezing her crying daughter a little tighter
"Mickey, where's the young girl?" Gabriella and Maria heard a female voice say behind them a couple minutes later
"Over there" Mickey, the reception, said pointing to Gabriella and Maria
"Gabriella?"
Gabriella looked over her shoulder to see who called her name "Dr Collins...."
"Are you ok?" Dr Collins asked walking towards Gabriella and her mum
Gabriella shook her head 'no' "Im b-bleeding"
"Come on, we'll get you straight in" Gabriella and Maria stood following Dr Collins down a hallway, after making a couple of turns the three woman arrived outside a door
"Dr Collins, what are you doing in this part of the hospital, your not a Gyno are you?" Maria asked
"Yeah, I just started though, thats why I kept Gabriella as my patient instead of sending her to someone else just so she felt comfortable and also the only Gynaecologists I could find were males" Dr Collins replied opening the door and ushering the two Montez women inside "And I've known Gabriella all her life basically so it was good having someone that I know and have treated before"
"Oh, ok fair enough" Maria said as Dr Collins closed the door
"Gabriella sweetie just sit up on the bed and lay down for me" Dr Collins said as she sat on the chair beside the bed
Gabriella barely nodded, that being the only thing she could do at this moment in time, and sat up on the bed before laying down
"Ok sweetie, im just gunna do an ultrasound and I may have to do an actual examination depending on if we can find the problem or not, if we find it we wont have to do an examination" Dr Collins explained setting up the ultrasound machine. Gabriella nodded and pulled up her shirt, showing her slightly protruding bump, before grabbing her mum's hand
Dr Collins put some gel on Gabriella's stomach, after a minute a picture showed up on the screen and Dr Collins moved the ultrasound stick around to see if she could find the problem. She stopped at the lower half of Gabriella's abdomen "Ah, I think I've found the problem" Dr Collins said wiping Gabriella's stomach
"Is my baby ok?" Gabriella asked as she pulled her shirt down, tears still rolling down her face
"We'll see if what I think is right before I answer that...I'll just go grab another doctor, and I'll be back in a second" Dr Collins explained before standing up and going out of the room
Maria squeezed Gabriella's hand "...It'll be ok sweetie" She said before kissing the back of Gabriella's hand
Gabriella shook her head and pulled her hand away "What if it isn't?"
Dr Collins walked back in with another female doctor behind her "Gabriella, Maria this is Dr Fitzpatrick and she's another gynaecologist here, I've called her in for a second opinion, I hope you dont mind"
Gabriella shook her head and the doctors went over to the screen to look at the baby "..Do you think it is?" Gabriella heard Dr Collins ask
"Yeah, defiantly" Dr Fitzpatrick said nodding before turning around to face Gabriella and her mum "..Gabriella your baby should be fine, I've gotta run so I'll let Sarah explain the rest" Dr Fitzpatrick said before walking back out. Gabriella smiled after hearing the best news she'd heard in a while
"Ok.." Dr Collins started making Gabriella and Maria turn their attention to her "..You have something called placenta previa"
"Whats that?" Maria asked confused
"Its when the placenta sits around this area.." Dr Collins said pointing to the bottom of Gabriella's stomach "..So basically it covers up the birth canal and causes a little bleed every now and then"
"If it covers the birth canal, what does that mean?" Maria asked
"It does mean that Gabriella will have to have a c-section" Dr Collins explained
"No.." Gabriella said shaking her head "..Im not having a big scar running down the middle of my stomach"
"Oh no, its a cut along here" Dr Collins said once again pointing to Gabriella's stomach, slightly higher than before. She pointed to Gabriella's right side and dragged her finger across to the left side "...It will be lasered shut so the scar will heal and completely disappear in about 6 months you wont be able to notice it and you wont have to have another c-section for future kids"
Gabriella nodded knowing there was no other way of getting her baby out
"I do want to keep you in over night for observation, so maybe your mum can run home and get you some comfy clothes and I'll organise a tv for you in here"
Gabriella smiled and nodded "..Thanks Dr Collins, I really appreciate it"
"No problem..." Dr Collins smiled "..You get some rest, I'll be back later to check on you"
Maria waved bye to Dr Collins and waited for her to leave before turning back to Gabriella "Sweetie, do you want me to go get you some stuff?"
Gabriella nodded before whispering "Yes, please Mami"
Maria smiled before standing up to kiss her daughters forehead "Ok, you get some rest sweetie and I'll be back soon" Gabriella nodded before her mum helped her pull the covers over her body, she layed back down and closed her eyes. Maria kissed her daughters forehead one more time before leaving
--
Gabriella woke up to the sound of her phone ringing, meaning she got a text, she opened her eyes and smiled at her mum who was trying to turn the phone off
Maria looked up to see Gabriella smiling at her "Sorry sweetie, I should of kept it off""Its ok Mum" Gabriella said before stretching her arm out towards her mum "..Here I can fix it"
Maria handed her daughters phone over. When Gabriella got the phone she saw it was a message from Chelsea
Hey babes, wanna hang out today?
"Hmm, 10:30am...What time is it now?" Gabriella thought looking around her hospital room trying to find a clock. She spotted one on the opposite wall and saw it read 11:45 "...Thats weird, mum was my phone off?"
"Ah, yeah...But I just turned it on to make a call cause my phone died"
"Oh thats cool.." Gabriella smiled before replying to the message
Sorry Chels...Cant =[
"Who was that?" Maria asked looking up from her magazine
"Just Chels"
"What did she want?"
"Just seeing if we could hang out, she must of sent the message after you turned my phone off"
"Must of.." Maria said as Gabriella got another text
Ohh...Finally you answer lol jks btw that sucks =[ you not feeling well?
Gabriella smiled "Thats Chels...Always caring" She thought before replying
You could say that...Im in the hospital
Gabriella replied and sat her phone down on the bed beside her. Not long after she sat it down it started ringing
"Why are you in the hospital? Whats wrong? I know you cant be having my godchild its too early and you wouldn't be texting me if you were in la--"
"Chels settle down" Gabriella laughed
"Well whats wrong?"
"Wait shouldnt you be in class?"
"Yeah, but Mrs Martin is away and they couldnt find a sub, so I thought why stay I have lunch after this class and then a free so I'll text Gab and see if she wants to hang out" Chelsea explained "..But you didnt reply and now I know why...But why are you in hospital?"
"Well I was in my room, when the baby decided to play soccer with my bladder and I went to the toilet and saw there was blood, anyway long story short I have this thing and the placenta sits so its blocking the birth thing and I have to have a c-section thingy" Gabriella explained, after she finished she could hear Chelsea giggling "..What?"
"..Long story short I have this thing, the placenta blocking the birth thing oh and I have to have a c-section thingy" Chelsea said mocking Gabriella and emphasising the word 'thing' every time she said it
"Shut up Chels.." Gabriella giggled. She saw her mum stand up "..Hold up Chels" She said covering the mouthpiece "..Where are you going?"
"I've gotta get some papers from work and I thought you might like a treat" Maria said picking up her bag and walking over to give Gabriella a kiss on the forehead
"Ok, Mami" Gabriella smiled, she watched her mum walk out and remembered Chelsea "..Im back"
"Ok, did you want me to come visit you?" Chelsea asked
"Sure, im on the 6th floor I think you just go to reception and ask for me"
"Ok, see ya soon"
--
Maria slowly opened her daughters hospital room, seen as the lights were off, she assumed Gabriella was sleeping. When she walked in she closed the door behind her and saw Chelsea laying on the couch watching the television and Gabriella asleep on the bed
Chelsea saw Maria and smiled "..Hey" She whispered
"Hey sweetie...Has everything been ok?" Maria whispered putting her bag and the grocery bag she was carrying on the little table situated near the hospital bed
Chelsea nodded "Yeah, she fell asleep like 5 minutes after I got here"
"Mmm...She would of been tired" Maria said, sitting on seat at the table
"I saw Matt the other day" Chelsea said, sitting up
"Really?" Maria asked
"Yeah it was pretty funny actually" Chelsea said giggling
"What happened?"
"Well..." Chelsea started "..I was sitting at the coffee shop the other day, just having a coffee when I heard this girl behind me..."
Flashback
"Hey Matt.."
Matt turned around to see who was talking to him "...Oh, hey Lindsay"
"What have you been up to?" Lindsay asked, taking a sip of her milkshake
"Oh not much, I haven't seen you at any parties lately"
"Yeah well after what you done to one of my friends I dont really want to be anywhere near you" Lindsay explained
"Then why are you talking to me?" Matt asked confused
"To do this..." Lindsay said before pouring her milkshake over Matt's head and then kneed him where no man wants to be kneed. Matt groaned and fell to the ground as Lindsay walked away. Chelsea started giggling and followed Lindsay out of the store
"Lindsay.." Chelsea yelled
Lindsay turned around and smiled "Oh, hey...Chelsea, right?"
Chelsea nodded "Yeah...That was awesome, what you just done"
"Oh no prob...He deserved it after what he done to Gabriella"
"Yeah..." Chelsea nodded
End of flashback
"Is that the same Lindsay, that is head cheerleader?..." Maria asked and Chelsea nodded 'yes' "..Wow, I'll have to thank that girl even though he deserves more than that"
"You got that right.." Chelsea agreed "..But in a way its good cause I know Gab is only 17 and it shouldnt of happened the way it did but she's responsible enough to be a mum, she's got a good head on her shoulders"
"Yeah.." Maria said looking at her sleeping daughter "..So she fell asleep straight away?"
Chelsea nodded "Basically, she went to the toilet and put one of those pad thingies on and came back and laid down and was out like a light"
"Knock, knock" Maria and Chelsea looked towards the door to see Dr Collins standing there
"Dr Collins, come on" Maria said
"I just came in to check on Gabi.." Dr Collins said walking into the room
"She's good, just been sleeping most of the time" Maria explained
"Yeah, thats good though" Dr Collins said "..I also wanted to come and tell you that I booked Gabriella's c-section for the 4th of August"
"What are the chances she wont have to have it?" Maria asked
"Because she is a bit further along it has less chance, but like I said earlier it will be lasered and the scar will be gone completely in about 6 months"
"Yeah.." Maria nodded "..Well I'll let her know when she wakes up"
"Ok thanks.." Dr Collins smiled "...Oh and I want her to keep things easy, no stress and everything will be fine"
"I'll make sure she does" Maria said
"Me too.." Chelsea chimed in
"Thank you ladies, tell Gabi I'll talk to her later, im gunna make an appointment for an ultrasound on the day of her c-section to make sure everything is fine" Dr Collins explained
--
"Mum I could have walked you know" Gabriella said as her mum wheeled her into the lift with Chelsea following
"I know, but I want you to take it easy, like Dr Collins said" Maria said as the door closed and Chelsea pressed the 'ground floor' button
"Your not gunna treat me like this for the next four months, are you?" Gabriella asked as the elevator door opened and her mum started pushing the wheelchair out
"We'll see..." Maria smiled
--
"Gab did you want some ice-cream?" Chelsea yelled from the kitchen
"Yes please, you sure you dont want some help?" Gabriella yelled back from the couch
"No.." Chelsea yelled back
A minute later Chelsea walked in with a tray "..You needed a tray, you should've told me and I would of helped" Gabriella said pulling her knees towards her chest so Chelsea could sit down
"Its ok, I handled it" Chelsea laughed as she sat the tray on the table and sat down
"Thank you..." Gabriella said as she took the ice-cream from Chelsea
"Im gunna miss being able to just hang out" Chelsea said randomly
"Me too, but your gunna come visit us" Gabriella said sitting her bowl on the coffee table
"I know its just not the same" Chelsea said sitting her bowl down too
Gabriella grabbed Chelsea's hand "..How about we promise each other that when graduate we'll both go to the same college"
"Ok…But what one?" Chelsea asked
"Hmm..." Gabriella said thinking
"I know.." Chelsea said "..Is there one in Albuquerque?"
"What if they dont have a dance programme?"
"We can find something else.." Chelsea said "..By the way everyone misses you during dance class"
"Or we can go to a different college altogether" Gabriella suggested "..And I miss going to dance, Kelly was the best teacher"
"Yeah Kelly is awesome...Anyway, you'll have the little one and you cant pay for college tuition, the baby's stuff, your own stuff and you'll have to put the baby in day care too, so I dont think you could afford that with a part time job, if you could even get one cause then you would have to pay a babysitter, not that I would mind doing it its just I'd have to get a job as well a--"
"Chels, I get it.." Gabriella laughed "..How about when you come visit one time we can go check out the closest campus"
"Ok, sounds good" Chelsea nodded
_________________________________________________________________
"Ok, Gabriella we're gunna see how the baby is and then you will go in at about 12 ok?" Dr Collins explained as she applied the cold gel on Gabriella's stomach
Gabriella nodded looking at the screen waiting for her baby to show up, she smiled from ear to ear when the image showed, she couldn't believe the little baby was her's, alot of people would say she's too young, 9 months ago she would of been one of those people, but now she couldn't be happier, she just hoped that the baby looked like her and not like its father, no it doesn't have a father, its sperm donor, Gabriella frowned at the thought of her baby not having a father, it was sad but the way it was.
She snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Dr Collins start talking "..Ok, everything seems good, I'll be back in an hour to come and get you"
"Thank you Dr Collins.." Gabriella smiled before taking a tissue from Dr Collins and wiping her stomach
"No problem, Maria can I talk to you outside for a minute?" Dr Collins asked
"Yeah, sure.." Maria said and followed Dr Collins outside
Gabriella picked up her mobile and dialled Chelsea's number
"Hey, Chelsea's whore house, im sorry our best employee is in hospital at the moment so she cant make any appointments today"
"Ha ha Chelsea.." Gabriella laughed sarcastically
"Fuck, its you Gab, whoops" Chelsea laughed "..Whats doin?"
"Sittin' here being bored...What about you?" Gabriella asked
"Im waiting for your mum to call and let me know when I can come see my godchild"
"Oh gee thanks.." Gabriella said sarcastically, as her mum walked back in "..I gotta go Chels, talk soon"
"Sure will...See ya" Chelsea said before hanging up
"You ready?" Maria asked as she sat down on the edge of Gabriella's hospital bed
"Mmm.." Gabriella nodded
"Ok, Dr Collins said she can get you in now if you like that way you'll be out around 12 instead of just going in"
"Ok.." Gabriella smiled
"I'll go get Dr Collins then" Maria said before she kissed Gabriella on the forehead and walked out
--
"Ok, Gabriella as I explained earlier you wont feel any pain but we're about to pull your baby out, ok?" Dr Collins asked
"Ok.." Gabriella said quietly before she felt her mum squeeze her hand
Gabriella smiled at her mum, then she felt the weirdest thing she's ever felt, it was an indescribable feeling and before she knew it someone said 'Its a boy' and a baby's cries filled the air. Then the feeling changed, but this time she knew the feeling, happiness, but not just the happiness you get when you win something or get a good grade on a paper, it wasnt even the feeling you get when you eat that chocolate bar you've been craving all day (A/N:Mmm...Chocolate) No this took happiness to a whole new level
"Alright Gabriella, while we get you cleaned up your mum's going to wait outside and we'll get your little man cleaned up as well" Dr Collins explained
"Ok..." Gabriella said and felt her mum kiss her forehead
"We're gunna have to do this straight away so you can hold your baby after" Dr Collins said
Gabriella heard a male doctor speak up "Miss Montez, im gunna give you some special medicine that will put you to sleep before we go any further" Gabriella nodded before she felt what she assumed was a needle going in her arm, she didnt like this doctor he spoke to her like a 2 year old but before she had too long to think about it she became drowsy and soon enough sleep consumed her
--
Gabriella was sleeping in her hospital bed when Sharpay and Chelsea snuck through the door. Maria looked up when she heard the door click shut, Chelsea and Sharpay had 'Its a boy' balloons and some little plush toys in their hands, Maria smiled at them before whispering "..Hey girls, Sharpay dear I didnt think you were getting in this early I would of picked you up"
Sharpay walked over and kissed her aunty's cheek before sitting next to her "Its ok Aunty, I thought you might wanna wait till Gabi woke up so I just called Chels to pick me up, she didnt mind"
"Thank you Chelsea dear" Maria smiled
Gabriella started to stir, Maria noticed so she went over and sat on Gabriella's bed before grabbing her hand "Mmm...Mum" Gabriella mumbled
"Im right here sweetie" Maria said pushing a lock of hair behind Gabriella's ear
Gabriella's eyes fluttered open and she smiled tiredly at her mum
"Hey sweetie.." Maria whispered stroking Gabriella's hair
Gabriella smiled again and cleared her throat, before asking "..Where's my baby?"
"He's in the nursery, do you want me to go get him?"
"Yes please.." Gabriella said, still in a whisper
"Ok, I'll be back in a minute" Maria said before she stood up and kissed Gabriella's forehead, after Maria walked out Sharpay and Chelsea ran over to the bed and hugged Gabriella
Gabriella started giggling "O-ok guys, l-let-t g-go...Its-s hurt-ting" Gabriella got out between giggles
"Sorry.." The two girls said as they pulled back
"How do you feel Gab?" Chelsea asked
"Mmm ok, just a little sore" Gabriella said, just after the door opened and her mum walked in pushing a little hospital crib, Gabriella smiled and sat up as best she could
"Here we are...Meet the littlest Montez" Maria smiled picking the baby up and carefully handing him to Gabriella
"Aww he's so cute" Sharpay said
Gabriella looked down at her little bundle of joy and she couldnt help but smile. He was so tiny, he had nice tan colour skin with a headful of dark brown almost black hair just like hers
"What are you gunna name him Gabs?" Sharpay asked
Gabriella looked up and smiled she knew straight away what she was gunna name him "...Jayden Carlos Montez"
"Aww, after your grandad?" Sharpay asked
Gabriella nodded, she was very close to her mum's father, he helped them out a lot and Gabriella and her mum were very thankful to him and they were both very upset when she found out that he'd passed on
"Your Grandad would be proud sweetie" Maria smiled
"Where did Jayden come from?" Chelsea asked
"I've just always liked that name" Gabriella smiled, she looked down and saw Jayden had his eyes open. He had bright blue eyes, Gabriella knew that all babies were born with blue eyes but Jayden's were different, she could tell they were the one thing that resembled Matt and she didnt mind because that's one of the things that attracted her to Matt in the first place
"What are you thinking about Gabs?" Sharpay asked snapping Gabriella out of her thoughts
"How Jayden's eyes look like Matt's.."
"Yuck, we need to get him contacts" Sharpay said
"No, Shar I like his eyes...They're cute"
"You just basically said something about Matt is cute and nothing about him is cute"
"Shar im not sticking up for Matt but his eyes were cute"
"Yeah...They were in that picture you sent me" Sharpay said agreeing
"Ok, girls...I think Gabriella needs some rest, how about you pair go down to the cafeteria and get some lunch and come back here after" Maria suggested
"Ok.." Sharpay and Chelsea said together before they one by one carefully hugged Gabriella making sure not to squash the sleeping baby in her arms
Maria smiled at the girls as they walked out the door, Maria turned back to Gabriella "..Did you want me to take him sweetie?" Maria asked sitting on the hospital bed
Gabriella , who was looking down at her baby, shook her head "No thanks Mami...But I do wanna know more about my little man though"
Maria smiled at her daughter, as she watched her gently trace her finger down Jayden's cheek "Well he was born at 11:30am weighing in at 6 pounds and 6 ounces"
"Wow thats tiny.." Gabriella said looking up at her mum "..Do you reckon I done something wrong?"
"No of course not sweetie, he's perfectly healthy, its probably because your tiny"
"Yeah your probably right" Gabriella said
"And you weren't born much bigger.." Maria explained "...How about I go see if I can find the girls and I'll let you two have some alone time" Maria said standing up
"Ok, Mami.." Gabriella said as her mum kissed her on the forehead, she smiled when her mum bent down and carefully kissed Jayden's tiny forehead
"Love you guys" Maria smiled as she walked back towards the door
"We love you too Mami.." Gabriella said, after the door closed she looked back down at Jayden who was peacefully sleeping and couldnt help but smile
