Previously on Hellos to Goodbyes and Back Again!

"What the hell is going on?!" Troy shouted worry etched across his features.

"Your fiancée must have had some problems during the birth of your baby…she's gone into cardiac arrest!" the nurse said as she pushed Troy out of the door.

Troy couldn't speak or move. He looked through the small glass window of the hospital room. The doctors were surrounding Gabriella and in the corner, placed gently in a bassinet was their baby…their Davenie. The doctors closed the curtains of the window and gave Troy a sympathetic look before turning back to Gabriella…his Gabriella.

"Brie?" Tears suddenly erupting from his eyes.

"Shh Davenie, its ok. We're almost home." Troy tried to speak through the tears that were cascading from his eyes. He quickly glanced at his crying little baby. Just looking at her caused more tears to fall, how she resembled Gabriella, the only thing that was different were her eyes. His eyes.

Troy slowed to a stop when he reached their apartment. He slowly got out of his car and walked towards the front seat. He opened the door and smiled through his tears at little Davenie. He gently lifted out her car seat and carried it into the apartment.

Once inside he took her to his and Gabriella's room. He placed her in the crib and walked back towards the living room. He sat on the sofa and just stared into space.

He didn't want to leave her there but he had to. He missed her already and they had only been apart for about two hours. He hated the fact that his new-born couldn't spend her first few days with her mother. But, after being resuscitated Gabriella had been told she would have to stay in hospital for a week or so to recover. When he was told she had gone into cardiac arrest his whole world stopped. He wouldn't know what to do if she had left him for good. He would have hated it if Davenie didn't grow up knowing her mother. But, he was so happy when she had awoken.

As soon as he was allowed he carried their baby to her. Troy told her that Davenie was hungry but, when he put her in Gabriella's arms she immediately refused. Telling him she would not breast feed…ever. After telling him she pushed their baby back into his arms. Troy had thought this strange but, shrugged it off thinking she was just tired. After all, she had just had a baby and basically…died for a minute. Troy hated thinking about that. The fact that Gabriella died. He shuddered thinking about it.

Troy continued to look straight ahead of him. Tears still falling from his eyes. The reason for his tears…he wasn't sure. Whether they were for the fact that he almost lost Gabriella, or his baby was now in the world, or the fact that Gabriella was back and now he had her and their little baby. He smiled and stood up when he heard his baby cry.

………………………………………………………………………………WE'RE GOING TO SKIP A COUPLE OF WEEKS. WE'LL BE GOING BACK IN A FEW FLASHBACKS. JUST THOUGHT I'D TELL YA LOL.

"Hey Gabz, how are you feeling?" Taylor asked her best friend.

"I'm ok, just tired and really sore." Gabriella closed her eyes. She moved slightly and winced. "I hate being in here."

"It's your fault Gabz. Why did you do it?" Taylor asked, her eyes filling up.

"I'm sorry Tay. I didn't know what I was doing." Gabriella whispered.

"Yes you did. You knew exactly what you were doing. But, you didn't think about anyone but yourself. You didn't think of Troy or Davenie or your family and friends. You just thought it would be easier to end it all!" Taylor screamed. Gabriella looked up at her tears streaming down her rosy cheeks. "I'm sorry." Taylor whispered. She stood up and hugged her best friend. "You just don't understand how scared I was; I thought I'd lost the best best friend I've ever had. In fact…the only best friend. If you went again, I don't know what I'd do." Taylor sniffled.

"I'm so sorry, I really am." Gabriella whispered.

Flashback…

"Ahhh!"

"Please shut up Davenie. Please!" Gabriella silently begged from her position in her bedroom. She was sitting in a corner, eyes red and puffy from crying and not sleeping. She was gently rubbing her temples with her fingers. "Please be quiet!"

In the living room Davenie Marie was crying. She had been for the last two hours. But, Gabriella stayed where she was. She couldn't take it. Troy had gone out to work and all Gabriella wanted was to sleep. But, because of Davenie crying; because she was hungry and needed changing, Gabriella couldn't.

Gabriella walked slowly to the bathroom and looked through the medicine cabinet. Then, she found what she was looking for. Sleeping pills. The odd one or two couldn't hurt right?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Gabi!" Sharpay shouted entering the living room. "Gabi! Why is Davenie crying?!" Sharpay walked into the living room and picked up the crying baby. She gently swayed her to side to side. "She's hungry and needs changing. Where the hell is Gabi?"

"I'll look for her; she's probably just fallen asleep. You take care of Davenie." Taylor said as she walked to Gabriella and Troy's room.

"Ahhh!" Taylor screamed. Sharpay came running in holding the still crying baby. "Oh my God. What has she done? Shar, call an ambulance!"

Sharpay hastily and carefully put Davenie in her crib. She grabbed her phone and dialed 911. "Is she breathing?" Sharpay asked.

"Barely, Shar?" Taylor looked at her with large watery eyes. "I think she over-dosed." She whispered.

"But…why?"

End of flashback.

"I did it because I can't handle it Tay. As soon as Troy placed her in my arms she didn't fit. She didn't feel right. What kind of mother feels that? She's my daughter and I…I…hate her." Gabriella burst into tears.

Taylor looked at her friend shocked. Not in a million years did she think her friend; who was so caring and loved children would get post-natal depression.

"I want to love her Tay! I just can't! She's my baby and I don't love her! It's horrible!" Gabriella blubbed.

"Does…Troy know?" Taylor asked awkwardly.

Gabriella nodded her head whilst staring into space. She looked like she was in a trance. "He walked out. I haven't heard or seen him since Tay, and I told him two days ago. He hates me. I love him!" Gabriella quickly turned her head to look at Taylor. She just sat there before quickly moving and snuggling up with Gabriella on her bed.

"It's ok Gabz, everything will get better," she said rubbing her best friend's arm. "You'll get help and love your baby, and Troy doesn't hate you. He's shocked; he just needs to get his head round it."

"Promise?" Gabriella quivered.

"I promise."

What did you think? Sorry I skipped a bit; I just want to see if I can finish this story soon. Anyway, R&R!!!!

Post-natal depression is quite common. In the next chapters except Gabriella to try really hard to connect with her daughter. In the next Chappie the connection will start.

Luv ya! R&R
