All Because

Chapter 11

THE NEXT three months went by quickly for the four. Troy and Gabriella had set up their wedding and were getting married in just one hour.

"Is everything ready, Taylor?" Gabriella turned to Taylor who was helping her with her dress.

"Yes Gabs, for the twentieth time, just relax," Taylor tried to ensure her. Just then, Maddie walked in.

"Hey Maddie, baby girl get your dress on," Gabriella told her daughter who was taking the part of Maid of Honor.

"Ok," Maddie said but it didn't really sound like her. Her parents were together, she had a wonderful boyfriend, what could be wrong?

"You ok?" Taylor asked and Maddie just nodded while the two adults looked down at her quizzically.

"Now Maddie, aren't you happy?" Gabriella questioned her.

"OF COURSE I AM!" Maddie yelled looking a bit ticked off, "Just leave me alone."

"Madeline Montez, get your butt over here," Gabriella exclaimed a little confused at her actions.

"I have to go, just leave me alone," Maddie stepped away and out of the room.

"What's gotten into her?" Taylor asked out loud.

Gabriella's puzzled look quickly vanished and sadness reigned, "I think I know."

"What is it?" Taylor asked, clearly concerned for her best friend's daughter, also godchild.

"I have to go talk to her," Gabriella briefly said before dashing out to find her.

AS SOON AS GABRIELLA spotted her daughter sobbing outside the church, she pulled her into a large, loving hug.

"It will be ok Maddie," Gabriella looked down at her daughter's tearstained face and cried slightly while wrapping an arm around her. Mother and daughter cried together.

"Mom, I'm so scared," Maddie sobbed, letting her sparkling tears fall into her brown locks.

"It's ok to be scared," Gabriella just kept rocking her, "I know what you're going through baby."

Maddie looked up at her mother worriedly, "Don't tell anyone."

"It's your job not mine," Gabriella nodded to her.

"Lets get you married to daddy, and we'll talk about this later," Maddie said raising her head up to see her mom.

Maddie walked towards the church while Gabriella sat there. Soon she yelled, "You'll always be my baby, you know."

"I know," Maddie smiled and went in to finish her hair.

THE WEDDING WENT smoothly and once it was over, Troy was twirling his wife around in the lobby of the gigantic church.

"I love you," Troy smiled and kissed her.

"I love you too," Gabriella smiled back.

"You ready to go?" Troy asked. The two were going to spend the weekend in the Bahamas.

"Yea hold on," Gabriella let go off Troy and stepped over to Maddie.

"What should I do mom?" She asked clearly frightened.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you what to do. You're growing up," Gabriella smiled sadly.

"I should though… Shouldn't I?" Maddie asked quietly, knowing the answer.

"How did you feel after seventeen years Maddie?" Gabriella asked knowingly.

"I will," Maddie said softly, and hugged her mother goodbye for the weekend.

"I love you," Gabriella said in the hug.

"I love you too Mommy," Maddie sobbed quietly.

"Bye baby," Gabriella smiled and walked away.

Only a few seconds later, Brady walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Hey you. I was thinking tonight we could go out-"

"Brady, I need to talk to you… At home," Maddie said, not cracking a single smiled the whole time.

"Uh ok," Brady said puzzled.

THE RIDE HOME WAS silent the whole time. There was something in the air that made Brady know that there was something wrong. He was nervous. In a small matter of time, he had fallen for her and here he was thinking she might end it.

"Are you ok?" Brady asked as they pulled into the driveway and parked.

"It depends, come inside. I need to talk to you now," Maddie motioned for him to follow her.

Once Brady was situated on the couch in front of her, Maddie started.

"First off," She said, "I love you and I never want to loose you."

"I love you too," Brady started to stand but Maddie pushed him back.

"I know you probably won't like this news but I need to tell you," Maddie started to shake and fell to the ground on her knees.

Brady was next to her as soon as he saw her fall and he just held her.

Maddie's voice was uneven and she was sobbing uncontrollably but she managed to say it. She managed to say the words that changes lives, "Brady… I-I'm pregnant."

OK Now how many of you saw that coming? What about before this chapter? Did you think this would happen?

What will Brady say? Will he be happy? Mad? Sad? Indifferent?

Thank you reviewers... Tell me what direction you want this to go, or if you just want me to decide.
