As March rolled in for them, she was now at the doctors with the 25th week hearing what she didn't want to hear. Along with the more aches and pains, her back hurting more, and her feet swelling, her doctor informed her that she would be gaining one to two pounds per week now. She wasn't pleased, but she wasn't as fat either. Her baby was still developing and that's all that she really cared about.
The 26th week came by, and they were planning for her baby shower in two weeks. She was somewhat excited to get plenty of more things for her baby, but she was excited to have all the family around with her. At this time, she was not fitting into most of her maternity clothes making everything frustrating for her.
The 27th swiftly dropped by welcoming her into her third trimester, getting near the end of her pregnancy, she was annoyed by all the aching that was being done to her body. She was tired, exhausted, and took baths almost every night. Her doctor informed her about the baby's newly developed sense of hearing so she took it as sing to the baby and talk to it every day.
Finally, the week of her baby shower and her 28th week she was taking her childbirthing classes. Troy thought they were stupid, but he still dragged along with her. She figured that if they had another child in the future, she'd be prepared and ready. But the thing that worried her was that she should be warned about preterm labor. She didn't know how it would affect her yet, but so far, she wasn't feeling anything but back cramps, and the baby kick. Normal. Her baby was now estimated at 2 and a half pounds.
She sat there dressed in comfy yoga pants and a nice stretchy shirt, Gabby was ready for these birthing classes. Troy sat next to her still not pleased with her dragging him here, but she was excited for it and he couldn't disagree.
"Alright, here you will learn the basics for preparing for child birth." The instructor said. Gabby sat there and felt like it was dumb, and she looked at Troy who had the look too. As they sat through the whole class, which was helpful, it finally ended.
"That was the dumbest thing I've ever been to." Troy announced putting sunglasses on his face pulling his keys out. She giggled.
"I do have to agree that it was quite dumb." He smirked as they both climbed into the car.
The next day, she sat there rubbing her belly excited. Her baby shower was today and she couldn't even wait for the food. Her hair was straight and long, and she dressed casually like Sharpay asked her too. Sharpay was running the whole thing and that took a stress load off of Gabby. Troy was finishing up at his resturant so he'd meet her there.
"Gabby picture!" Someone shouted at her. She groaned smiling as her mother's friends took a quick picture with her. They smiled walking off and she looked at Sharpay.
"Where's my food?" She whined. Sharpay giggled looking flawless as ever curling her hair upstaging her bestfriend.
"It will be here soon!" She groaned as she walked over fixing a table for the guests as Gabby followed.
"Pretty lady, I would like to take a picture!" Her aunt shouted at her and Gabby smiled taking a picture with them excusing herself and following Sharpay as she placed little trinkets on the tables.
"Foooood." She moaned as Sharpay rolled her eyes.
"It's on its way." She barked at her. Gabby was stunned by her actions and snarled.
"Gabriella!" One of her aunts shouted as a pack of them came at her placing their hands on her stomach, and giving her hugs and kisses. She giggled at the way they were with her.
Troy walked in and greeted some of her friends that they hung out with occasionally and some co-workers as he looked for her in the massive amounts of people. He saw a crowd of women around her and he smiled as her head popped up and they made eye contact. He walked over and made his way to her side.
"Hey babe." He smiled kissing her quickly.
"Hey handsome." She smiled. He placed his hand on the small of her back as the older women where bothering her with questions.
"When are you due?" Her eldest aunt questioned.
"June 1st." She smiled and looked at him with his question.
"You have alot of family in New York?" He asked as they excused themselves, walking over to the platters.
"Yeah. My family is really from New York, but my dad found business in New Mexcio so he moved us. That's why, when the guys were old enough, they moved back here." She said grabbing a cracker with ham on it.
"Oh I understand now." She nodded.
"I was born there though. When Rob was 8, Ethan 6, and Gabe 3 my dad packed them up and my mom was pregnant with me. A couple months, walah! Me." She smiled.
"Was Rob here for September 11th?" She looked up at him and felt sorrow hit her.
"Yeah actually." She paused. "He was 22 and it was his first year on the department. Once we all saw it, my mom was dying to bring us closer to him. He went and helped out, but he was gone before anything terrible happened." She smiled.
"Thats, tough." He said looking at her. She nodded.
"Yeah, but, Charlie. Geeze, my dad had an affair and my mom surprisingly was accepting to it and understood that they weren't even married until Gabe and Me. My family is messed up." Sharpay walked in with the catoring people and she smiled wide. "There's my que to eat babe." She grabbed his hand and he walked over with her.
After the food was served and she was pleased with eating, Gabby was realxing as they finished up playing some games with the whole party. They had a baby bottle apple juice chug, played check whats in your purse, and famous baby names match up. After all the games were settled, it was time to open up the countless gifts at the table.
She opened plenty of clothing options for her little boy, a plethera of toys for her little man. As she was opening up a box of diapers, she felt this cramp throughout her body as it traveled through her back. She winced slightly as Troy wasn't paying attention, but was merely laughing with the whole group as an aunt mentioned something.
"Aww thank you!" She shouted looking at it with a smile. The pain went away and she smiled relieved continuing to open up everything else. Once she finished and they were serving cake, she dragged Troy outside to the lobby and held his hand tightly.
"What's wrong?" He worried. She shook her head.
"I've been getting really uncomfortable cramps in my back and pelvis for a while now." She looked at him nervously. "I've never felt so uncomfortable in my life." She fussed and was getting really nervous. He pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. He walked them over to the stairs and she sat on them taking a deep breath. He immeditatly pulled his phone out and was standing next to her. She was bouncing her knees nervously.
"Hey, is Doctor Shapiro there?" He asked and she took a deep breath again freaking out. What the hell was she supposed to do if she was going to have her baby now at her baby shower. She wasn't even fully there yet and she was going most likely going into preterm labor. "Hi, It's Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez's finace'." He started and she felt the pain again notifing him with the face. He nodded. "Yeah, right now she's feeling a pain thats traveling from her back into her pelvis that makes her feel uncomfortable." He added. He put it on speaker.
"That could mean that she would be going into labor, but if its a light cramping pain like a period cramp, then there should be no worry. If its a different cramp thats a sharp shooting pain, then we would be worried." They both nodded and she placed her hands in her face sighing relieved still bouncing her knees. "If this pain continues, I'd like for you to call me and we should see where that will take us." She finished.
"Alright, thank you very much." Troy told her once he took it off speaker. As he hung up, she sighed and he walked over and put his hand out for her to take it. Once she did, she stood up and wrapped her hands around his waist and held him into a long hold. He kissed her long and softly.
"We have a party to get back to." She mumbled on his lips and he chuckled grabbing her hand and walking back into the party.
As Troy was sleeping on the couch, Gabby walked over and picked up her phone, dialing her mother. She sat there impatient hearing her voicemail. She then dialed her father who picked up almost immediatly.
"Hello?" His haggard voice had questioned. Although she was never that close with her father, she'd know his certain traits.
"Hey dad." She spoke soft, opting not to let him hear her fear.
"Hey Gabriella." He sighed. "How's the baby?" He wondered as she heard shuffling on the other side.
"He's fine. Just waiting for him. How's everything at home?" She sucked in her breath waiting for his response.
"You know how it is...You're mother's biting my head off again..." He sighed. "Uh, Mija..." He trailed off. "If you haven't already heard, we're getting a divorce." Gabby nodded as if he heard. "Its just simpler that way. for the both of us. It's not healthy for what we were in..." She trailed off again.
"It's alright. I completely understand. It feels as if you guys were already divorced." She joked. He wasn't laughing. "Alright, that was a little too strong." She noted.
"It's alright. We're gunna fly up around the end of your due date and stay in the city. But I believe she's going to go and live up in New York while things workout here. Then, I'll possibly think of selling the house and what not." She felt crushed. It was all an easy going divorce.
"Okay Dad." She stoppped feeling bad. "I love you."
"I love you too mija. Look, I'll talk to you later. I'm at work." She nodded, they said their goodbyes and she put the phone down crying into her hands. It was never supposed to be that way in her family. She'd always picture all her family being together, but they were'nt even a family in the first place. Troy walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist feeling the baby kissing her neck.
"Why are you crying?" He questioned groggily. She wiped her tears.
"Never, ever, let us get divorced. Please." She said to him and he nodded kissing her again.
"I promise." He said feeling sorrow hit him.
