Pregnant By A Bully - Chapter 11 - Hospitalised
Gabriella's POV
The past few days of this pregnancy have been horrible. I have been having stomach pains and I have been getting sick. I'm not sure how much more of this I am going to be able to take. It was driving me crazy! I know I should listen to everyone and go to the hospital but I'm scared. There might be something seriously wrong and I don't want to have to face that. Troy was desperate for me to go and get checked out so he knew I was OK for his own peace of mind. I promised them I will go to the hospital tomorrow if I still wasn't feeling very good.
"Gabriella you're in pain. Just get checked out" He said to me.
"I said I will go tomorrow" I replied.
"We're going now. I don't care what you say. There may be something wrong and if there is then we need to know. Get your things" He ordered before leaving my bedroom.
We got to the hospital they were expecting us because I called them when I was on my way here and because I was 12 weeks pregnant I was a priority. I had a doctor waiting for me the moment I signed in and I was taken to a room on the maternity ward and was told to wait until the doctor came and he would speak to me then try and figure out what was going on with me. I was scared just sitting here waiting for someone to come and talk to talk to me and looking at Troy I could see that he was nervous as well "Troy you're making me nervous stop shaking your leg" I told him.
He stopped shaking his leg and looked over at me "Sorry but I'm just nervous" He said and stood up from his chair to stand next to me "Do you want a drink or something?" He asked.
The doctor came in "Hi I'm Doctor Wilson. I'm going to be looking over your case but first I just need to ask you a few questions OK?" He asked and I nodded "How far along pregnant are you?" He asked.
"Twelve weeks" I answered.
"OK and when did this pain in your stomach start?" He asked.
"About three days ago" I told him.
He asked me some more questions then he lifted my top up slightly and he felt around my stomach and I told him where it hurt then he got the sonogram machine and when he got back he did a sonogram of the baby and he said the baby was fine then he moved it over to where the pain was.
"From what you have told me and where the pain is, I am going to say you appendicitis. To be sure we're going to do a few more tests. If you do have appendicitis then you going to need surgery right away before it bursts. It will be key hole surgery so it won't harm the baby" He explained to me.
I had a few more tests done and then Doctor Wilson confirmed that I did have appendicitis and I did need to have surgery as soon as possible. Being pregnant it means that I am a priority.
Doctor Wilson left the room so me and Troy could be alone and talk about some things but I knew I would need my mum to sign forms for me to get the surgery as I was under 18 so Troy went and phoned her and whilst he was gone I just kept thinking about all the things that could go wrong during surgery. What if they accidentally hurt the baby? What if I lose the baby because of this? I needed to have the surgery there was no option but I was scared of what was going to happen if something went wrong.
Troy came back into my room to tell me that my mom was on her way with George so she could sign the necessary forms. Troy said he was going to go and wait outside for my mom to get here and he could show her where my room was. A nurse came in whilst Troy was gone and explained everything to me in more detail about the surgery. I was going to be in hospital for about 4 days but it was going to be roughly 2 weeks before I was properly healed. I was going to have so much time off school and I know my 'perfect' files were going to now be ruined.
My mom finally got to the hospital and met the doctor and signed all the papers that needed to be signed, the surgery was scheduled for the next morning and I was shitting myself. I have never had surgery in my life and for the first time that I had surgery did I have to be pregnant? Wasn't being pregnant stressful enough without all this drama? I promised my mom that I would be OK here with Troy so she finally went home.
"Don't be so stressed with your mom she's just worried about you" Troy told me.
"I know she is but I am trying to calm myself down I don't need her here freaking out and making me more nervous" I told him and he rolled his eyes "What time are you going home?" I asked him.
"The doctor said I could stay here for the night so when you go for surgery in the morning I'll go home, shower, change and come back in time before you're out" He told me.
Troy has been amazing throughout this whole thing and I know he was just worried about his baby and he didn't need to stay here all night with me. He's been making sure I am Ok and comfortable and he's been making sure that I don't need anything and he's just generally being a nice and good guy to me. He doesn't have to do half the things that he does for me but he always does them without complaining and most times he doesn't even wait for me to ask for something he just seems to know that I want a drink or something and he'll go and get me one.
Lucille and Jack keep dropping un-subtle hints that they want Troy and I to give it a go as a couple and try raising the baby as a real family and as much as I like the Bolton's and as much as I like Troy I don't think that me and him are in a place right now. Although I always thought that when I had a baby I would at least have a boyfriend if I wasn't married but I guess this is what happens when you have a baby in high school.
Troy's POV
Gabriella was whisked off to surgery so I took the opportunity to go home and get showered and changed then get back before she's out of surgery. During the pregnancy Gabriella and I have grown really close and I do like her she's a really nice girl and I know she's going to be an amazing mother. I know my parents have been dying for me and Gabriella to give it a go as a couple and raise the baby as a couple but I don't know if she is ready for that. I know that I would like to give it a go with her as we have become close and I have grown feelings for her over the past few weeks now that I have spent time with her and got to know her and she's carrying my baby. I think I am going to make my move on her and ask her if she would be my girlfriend so we can make a go of this properly.
I got home my mum was in the kitchen making some cookies I kissed her on the cheek "How's Gabriella?" She asked.
"She's just gone in for surgery and I told her I would be there when she woke up so I gotta be quick" I told her and run upstairs and took a quick shower before putting on some new clothes and I went back down to the kitchen "Right mom I'm off back to the hospital" I told her and kissed her cheek again.
"Wait!" She called out and I went back to her and she gave me a little packet of the cookies she made "Give these to Gabriella and tell her I hope she feels better" She told me and I promised her I would I left.
I got back to the hospital and seen Gabriella was already finished in surgery but she was still out cold so I just sat in the chair next to her bed and put the cookies my mum gave me on the bedside table. I poured myself a glass of water and sat down again beside her on the chair again planning what I was going to say to her when she woke up.
An hour later she woke up groggily and I handed her a glass of water. The doctor had already been in and checked her out and she and the baby were both fine but she would have to stay in hospital for 3-4 days just to make sure that she heals properly and there are no complications. I knew that because the doctor had already been in me and Gabriella would have some time on our own which will give me a chance to speak to her about becoming my girlfriend.
"Gabriella can I talk to you about something? It's pretty serious" I said to her.
"Yeah of course you can" She told me.
"I know when you first told me about being pregnant I turned into an asshole for a while but I want you to know that I have grown to become excited to become a father and since we started spending time together and getting to know each other I have grown to care for you… well it's a bit more then that… I have feelings for you Gabriella and I would love for you to give me a chance and be a boyfriend to you" I told her.
She gasped in shock when I finished my short speech.
"Oh my God! Troy I really don't know what to say. I mean yeah we've grown to have feelings for each other it's not one sided I have feelings for you too I really do. I would want nothing more then for me and you to become a couple and give it a go as a real family but I don't know if I'm ready for that. We are both going through something most people don't go through until they are in their late twenties or early thirties. Having a baby is a lot of stress to have on a relationship are we ready for that?" She questioned.
I stood up from the chair and walked over to her and held her hand "We'll never know unless we try. I want us to give it a go together but only if you're comfortable with it. Please let me have that one chance to prove to you that we can work and we can be happy as a real family" I told her.
"OK, let's do this. Let's give it a go" She said smiling.
I placed a kiss on the top of her head. Gabriella was now my girlfriend.
