Hey just a reminder I was doing the math so Gabriella is four months pregnant and it is now the end of September.

When It All Falls
Chapter 10: All I Ask of You
"TROY ANTHONY BOLTON! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" Gabriella shouted trying to keep from crying.
As soon as everybody left, Troy stood up and tried to explain. "Brie honey I thought she was you! I swear!"
"OMG Troy you already used that excuse! Do you remember January? God Troy you said you would change. You know what? For a while, I truly thought you did change. However, today you showed me how much you just did the opposite! Fine, I understand you don't need me or the baby to hold you back from partying and life. I will just move back to my old house so you won't have to worry about being reminded about us." Gabriella sobbed and ran upstairs.

Gabriella had gotten everything set in her for her new life living in her old house with her new roommate. Gabriella took her old room and Robin took the guest room, Gabriella couldn't bare to let either of them take her mum's room. Surprisingly there was little for Robin and her to get together in order for the house to be livable. Since Robin was 18, he called the gas and lighting company and got everything covered with billing and the same with all the other utilities. Gabriella thought it best to withdraw her position at U of A. Robin was making dinner for Gabriella and Ryan two weeks after the party incident, when he heard a knock on the door. He answered the door to find Zeke and Sharpay standing soaked to the bone in the doorway.
"Well by all means come on in!" Robin said cheerfully, cooking always put him in a good mood, "Looks like you guys need some dry clothes. I can give you some of my clothes and I guess Gabs will have some sweats around." Sharpay went straight upstairs to her friend's room.
"Thanks man, I'm Zeke, I am Sharpay's boyfriend. We never got to meet at the party. It is really great for you to do that for Gabriella." Zeke said shaking Robin's hand.
"No problem man, I love Gabs like a sister already. Hey, do you and Sharpay want to stay over for diner? I am cooking this amazing lasagna and shrimp scampi then for dinner I am gonna try to perfect my Crème Brule." Robin asked walking towards the kitchen with Zeke following him like a lost puppy.
"Dude you make Crème Brule! I have been trying to learn for like 2 years! Do you think I could watch you do it?" Zeke asked.
"Yeah of course. I take it that you and Sharpay will be joining Ryan, Gabs and I?" He replied smiling.
"Wait, Ryan is gonna be coming too? Well I never turn down a free home cooked meal so I guess. My car broke down on the way to a restaurant. We called Troy but he said he could not come for like 3 hours, something about shopping. So I guess you're stuck with us for a little." Zeke said jokingly and they started to cook.
Sharpay came down in dry clothes, saw her boyfriend and her brother's boyfriend getting along so well and cooking together, and smiled. She watched them for a little while and came to the decision that her brother could really pick them well.
"Zeke honey, go get changed your still soaking wet. Plus, I would like a chance to speak with Robin alone." Sharpay said making both the boys jump and turn around.
"Yeah sure babe." Zeke said simply and went upstairs.
Robin looked at Sharpay and then looked down at his food that he and Zeke were just preparing. He was a little nervous after his first and only encounter with her. He was afraid that Ryan would listen to her and break up with him just like that.
Sharpay was thinking the exact opposite thinking Ryan would just leave her for Robin. Funny how two people can think almost the same thing at the same time?
"So Robin, how are you? I am really sorry for acting like I did at the party. It was a shock I mean I was just finding out that my twin brother was gay! I really don't have any problem with it. I am fine as long as he is happy, which he is completely happy with you. I was more mad when I found out that everyone else knew before me! However, what ever. I figured I really don't know much about the boy who captured my brother's heart. So tell me all about you?" Sharpay said rather quickly making Robin only catch a little of it here and there.
"Uh well from what I could decipher you apologized and wanted to know more about me correct?"
"Yeah, sorry I when I get a little nervous I talk really super fast!"
"Oh ok, well I was born and raised in Oklahoma up and moved this June. I did grow up on a farm but didn't really have a farm life. My dad is a big CEO for some movie complex, they just opened up a new one in the middle of Albuquerque, and they wanted my father to run the business end of it, so all moved here. I turned 18 on April 15 so I could move in here with Gabs with no problems. I work down at the Amore Restaurant on 14th and Ashburn as a chef." Robin informed her.
"OH MY GOSH! I just love Amore! The food is the best around!" Sharpay squealed.
"Why thank you very much." Robin laughed. They continued laughing and talking for about 10 minutes until Ryan and Gabriella came home.
"Shar, what on earth are you doing here?" Gabriella asked in a happy mood.
"Well, Zeke and I were driving through and our car battery just died. We called Tr-- uh some one and they couldn't pick us up for like 3 hours. I remembered the neighborhood soo I thought maybe we could borrow some dry clothes cause ours were totally soaked. Robin and I were just getting to know each other better." Sharpay explained.
Ryan just stood there in shock still not able to over the sight of his boyfriend and his sister laughing and talking.
"Ryan? Babe? Are you alright? You're like not blinking and keep opening and closing you mouth. Ya sorta look like a gold fish or something." Robin said laughing.
"Yeah sorry, just never expected my sister and you in the same room willingly… let alone laughing." Ryan explained.
As soon as Ryan finished Zeke came down wearing a Hollister Co. buttoned down shirt and ripped jeans. It was definitely something Robin would wear and not Zeke's personal style.
"Hey guys! When did you get here?" Zeke asked.
"Um, like five minutes ago." Gabriella replied, "Yum, Robin what are you cooking it smells delicious!" She said stepping further into the kitchen.
"Zeke and I are making lasagna, Shrimp Scampi and for desert we are trying to perfect Crème Brule." Robin said proudly.
"Oh sounds absolutely delish!!" Said our favorite Diva.
"Yes it will be but now we need you ladies-"
"HEY!" Ryan shouted
"As I was saying we now need you ladies to leave the room so Chef Robin and I can continue to cook tonight's meal." Zeke said smiling.
"Ok, Ok we get it. Come on up to my room and we can discuss little secrets about our- your, men." Gabriella said smiling evilly.
"Baby, don't share to much!" Zeke called out.
"I agree, Babe, not too much!! PLEASE!" Robin called out pleadingly.
All they heard was their partners laughing along with Gabriella. They looked at each other, shrugged and turned back to start cooking.
An hour later, they had completed the Shrimp Scampi and the Lasagna and were almost done with the Crème Brule. Sharpay came bounding down the stairs and went directly to the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around Zeke's waist and asked extremely politely when was dinner was gonna be ready.
"You can go get the other two upstairs and tell them that dinner is ready. Robin can you get the plates and things and set the table up please?"
"Yeah sure thing Captain." Robin said in a fake salute and turned to get the plates and silverware out.

An hour later, the little group was sitting down at the table, eating and laughing. They heard the doorbell ring and it grew eerily quiet.
"So I guess no one invited any one else to dinner?" Gabriella laughed. Sharpay looked down at her plate, she had a feeling who the person was.
Gabriella went to answer the door, but when she opened the door, she was met with those bright blue eyes she had tried so hard to get out of her head for the past month.
"Uh hey Brie. Is Sharpay and Zeke here? They called me about an hour and a half ago but I had some things to do." Troy said casually while rubbing his neck, an action that gave his nerves away.
"Its Gabriella. Yeah they are in the kitchen, you know the way." Gabriella said coldly and went to the bathroom.
Troy went into the kitchen and was met with only one smile from Sharpay and all glares from the guys. The glares from Ryan and Robin were expected but the one from Zeke was a surprise and hurt.
"Where is Gabs?" Robin said protectively, earning a curious looking from Troy.
"I think she went into the bathroom."
"Oh ok well you can sit down and have something to eat. I am just gonna go check on her real quick." Robin said trying to be the perfect host as he walked out of the room. He opened the door and saw Gabriella curled in the corner of the empty tub crying her heart out.
"Aw honey! What did he say? Do you need me to go kick the bastards ass? I am pretty sure even Zeke would go after him for you." Robin cooed as he got into the tub and pulled her into a hug.
"No, please don't. He didn't say anything. I just couldn't take seeing him. I should be hating him but I can't! Seeing him here just broke through the shitty wall that I had tried to build. I want to be with him and I need him to help me during this. I feel soo bad and feel like a bitch because you have been fantastic through everything. I just need him and his love, but I know I wont be getting it!" Gabriella sobbed into his shirt.
"Baby don't feel bad for me. I know you need him, you love him and he is your baby's father. But if he doesn't realize how special and perfect you are then its his mistake. I know I am gay and in love with Ryan but you are perfect. Even I know that and if I was straight you would be the first woman I would go after." Robin said trying to make her feel better.
It seemed to do the opposite cuz it just made her cry even more.
They just sat in the tub until her tears subsided and the only sounds coming from the tub was the sound of her hiccups.
Robin and Gabriella got up and straightened their clothes, "Ok Gabs, I'm gonna go out there first and then you can come out after me. Ok?
Gabriella just nodded. On his way out he saw Troy and realized he had been listening to the whole conversation.
"If you hurt her again, I will personal make you wish you had never been born." Robin said.
"You can't do more damage to me than what I have to myself." Troy said with a look that told Robin he truly missed Gabriella.
Troy walked into the bathroom and saw Gabriella huddled in the corner. He stepped into the shower and sat down, but not too close to Gabriella.
"Brie… Gabriella, look I can't explain how sorry I am for everything I have ever done to make you cry. I know I am not always the smartest person. I made that obvious at the party, but I do love you. I love the baby also. When I said all that during the fight it came out wrong, you know how I get when I am nervous or upset. I don't think! Please I can't live with us not talking. I know I messed up and I know we can't just start from where we left off."
"Troy, I don't know. I want to be with you but my mind is telling me no. I love you and know that the baby needs it's father. I just don't think I am ready for what it was like before. I am sorry." Gabriella cried.
"Brie, its fine I just don't want us to never talk." Troy said edging closer to her.
"Troy we could never not talk. Especially because of the baby. Oh that reminds me, I have a gyno appointment in two days. I was gonna have Robin go with me but I was wondering if you wanna… ya know… go with me?" Gabriella said quietly and subconsciously moved into Troy's arms.
"I would love too! I haven't been to one yet! Is it fun? When can we find out if our baby is a boy or girl?" Troy asked excitedly.
Hearing Troy say 'our baby' made Gabriella's stomach fill with a butterfly feeling. "Well it isn't exactly fun but it is really cool to see the baby and all. We will probably find out the sex of our baby at the appointment."
"Brie I know that it is going to be really hard on us with the baby and all, but I really want to be there for you. If we can't be together than as friends." Troy said earnestly.
"Thanks Troy. That is all I ask of you."
