Troy was supposed to come home today, but he isn't. He called me a week ago and they decided to go ahead and extend the tour to Asia. I was extremely disappointed but I tried not to sound it. After all it was a big opportunity for Troy and Molly. They sent me a lot of pictures of these beautiful places and I wished so badly that I could be there, but I couldn't. I had stupid school. Luckily I was going to finish in a week, all I had to do was study for finals week.

It was hard studying for finals when I had major Troy withdrawals. He was even further away and the time differences were so shitty I barely got to even talk to him. I sighed to myself and looked at the clock. It was almost 11:30 at night. I shut my textbook and crawled into bed. My stomach rumbled but I knew I wasn't hungry. I closed my eyes, just before my phone started ringing.

"Hello." I answered with my eyes closed.

"Hey Gabi." Molly said. "I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to call recently. Everything's been so crazy over here."

"It's all good, I've been studying for finals next week so I've had lots to keep me occupied. How are you doing? How's everything going?" I asked, cuddling with my pillow.

"I'm great. I'm feeling a little homesick and I know Troy is too. He misses you, he's starting to enter that mopey stage."

I laughed. "Mopey? Troy?"

Molly laughed quietly as well. "I know it's hard to believe. But everything over here was good. We got lost a couple times, trying to sight see. Barely anything is in English and we stick out because we're a good foot taller than everybody but other than that it's been really fun."

I smiled. "That's good. I'm glad you guys are having fun. I miss you guys."

"We miss you too, of course…. Gabi…. Troy! Hold on!" I heard rustling in the background.

"Hey beautiful." Troy's voice came on the line.

"Troy Bolton. You put Molly back on the phone." I said sternly.

He sighed. "But baby, I miss you."

"I miss you too, put Molly back on the phone. I'll talk to you in a minute." I said.

"Hey," Molly said coming back on the line. "What were we talking about before we were rudely interrupted?"

"When are y'all coming home? I'm lonely here." I said pouting.

"Soon, hopefully soon." Molly said. "Good luck on finals, I know you will do great. I miss you and I love you. Now you can talk to Troy."

I giggled. "Miss you and love you too."

"Hello again beautiful." Troy said chuckling.

"Hi baby." I said, pulling my blanket up to my neck. "I miss you."

"I miss you too pumpkin." He said quietly.

I burst out in giggles. "Pumpkin? Did you pick that up in Asia?" I joked.

I imagined him rolling his eyes. Troy laughed. "No. I thought you were in need of a new nickname so I was testing it out, Pumpkin."

"If I'm Pumpkin then you need a new nickname… Pookie." I smirked.

"You are not calling me Pookie." Troy protested.

"But Pookie…" I giggled.

He sighed. "Fine, Pookie it is."

I shook my head to myself. "You are so whipped."

He growled into the phone. I yawned, covering my mouth. "What time is it over there?" He asked.

"11:45." I told him. "I'm hugging my pillow."

"I wish I was hugging you."

"Me too baby, me too." I said quietly.

"I'm going to let you go to sleep. I love you Gabi." He said quietly into the phone.

"I love you more"

"Nonsense." He retorted. I smiled to myself. "Sweet dreams baby girl."

"Goodnight baby." I said before hanging up the phone. I plugged it in and went to bed easily.


I made it through finals week and it was officially September now. I hadn't talked to Troy in two days and I was starting to get really bad stomach pains this morning. I didn't know what was really wrong with me so I was at home, seeing if they would go away. When they started to get worse, I knew something was definitely wrong. I picked up my purse and rushed myself into my car.

I drove my self to the hospital and walked into emergency. I doubled over in pain when I reached the counter. "Are you okay ma'am?" The reception asked.

I shook my head. "No, I don't know what is wrong with me. I've been having stomach pains since late last night and they just keep getting worse." I held my stomach, wishing they would just go away.

She brought over a wheelchair and I sat down and she wheeled me off into a room. "Do you think it's menstrual cramps or maybe gas?" She asked, helping me onto the bed.

I shook my head furiously. "It's so much worse than that. I can't even describe the pain." I laid back and the sweat rolled down my forehead.

"I'm going to get the doctor, I'll be back shortly." She said. I nodded, letting out a groan.

I gripped the bars and saw a man walk in. "Name, please?" The doctor asked.

"Gabriella Montez." I gave him my address and my social and he brought up my records.

"So you're complaining of stomach pains?" He said. I nodded quietly. "Are you pregnant?" He asked.

"No." I said, looking up at him.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

I nodded. "I thought i was but the test came out negative. I'm on birth control, I've had periods" I said looking at the man.

"I'm going to run a couple of tests." The doctor said. "I'll be right back."

I closed my eyes and laid back against the bed. The pain shot up my ribs and I let out a groan. "Fuck, fuck, fuck." I cursed silently to myself.


The doctor came back in and took a couple of samples and sent it to the lab. I got changed into a hospital gown. He checked my abdomen, but it didn't really hurt when he pressed on it. He didn't say anything, he just walked out of the room. I tried to keep my breaths under control but shit it hurt so bad. "Gabriella, we have some news for you."

I looked up at him and gritted my teeth. "What is it?" I asked.

"Congratulations, you're pregnant." He said, looking at me.

I blinked at him. "Excuse me?" I said, not sure if I heard him correctly. "I'm what?"

"You're pregnant, we are going to send an gynecologist in to check you out. For now I'm going to do a quick ultra sound to see how far along you are." He said. He left again and brought back a machine. He lifted my gown up and covered my lower parts of the body with a blanket. I couldn't move any further, I was in shock. He turned on the machine and put some gel on my stomach. His eyes furrowed. "I can't find it…"

I quickly snapped out of whatever trance I was in. "What do you mean you can't find it?! Did I lose it?" I asked, so confused.

A woman came in the room. "Hi Gabriella. I'm Dr. Collins, I'm a gynecologist, I'm just going to take over here for Dr. Murphy." All I could do was nod. She searched around the screen, moving the device along my stomach. "Ah, it was hiding by your spine." She said, then she sat up. "Gabriella, You're in labor."

"I'm in who?" I asked. My head was spinning. I was feeling faint. Everything was happening so fast.

She walked out the room and two men were pushing the bed I was on out of the room. I stared up at the moving ceiling. We went on an elevator and took it up to the next floor. Dr. Collins set me up in the labor and delivery ward. I couldn't even begin to process everything that was happening. She checked me. "Gabriella your about five centemeters dilated. You have the option of having an epidural, would you like one?"

"Yes." I let out a groan. With all the news I almost forgot how much pain I was in. About 10 minutes later they set me up with an epidural and broke my water to have labor go by quicker. After they broke the water and cleaned me up, everybody seemed to leave the room. I needed to talk to Troy, now. I picked up my phone and rang Troy.

"Hello?" Troy asked tiredly.

I bit my lip to keep myself from crying. "Troy." I said quietly.

"Gabi? What's wrong?" He asked, sounding more awake now.

"I had no idea… I swear I didn't know." I said, choking out a sob. "It's all happening so fast."

"What? Gabi, you're making no sense." He said.

I wiped my tears but they were falling faster than I could wipe. "Troy, I'm pregnant."

"You're what?" He asked in disbelief.

"And apparently I'm in labor." I said letting out another sob. "I'm so scared Troy."

"You're in WHAT?" He said a little louder. "Is this a joke? Because this is not funny."

I sobbed quietly. "No Troy, it's not a fucking joke."

"What? How? When?" He asked breathlessly.

I shook my head. "I didn't know, I had no idea Troy."

He let out a breath. "What are we going to do?" He asked. "I can't leave, we're in the middle of nowhere."

"What am I supposed to do Troy? I don't want to be here alone." I wiped my tears. "Come home, please."

"Baby, I'll be home as soon as I can. You have to be strong okay? Call me when you can, alright?" He said, sounding exhausted.

"Okay." I said quietly. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said quietly before hanging up. I called my mom after I hung up with Troy. She agreed to come out here. I didn't want to be alone right now but I knew I would be until she got here.

Dr. Collins came back about an hour after I got my epidural. "Hey Gabriella, how are you feeling?"

"I'm terrified." I said, looking up at her. The waterworks had finally stopped. My mom was on her way and everything was finally settling in.

"It's normal for new moms to be apprehensive and afraid." She said, checking me again. "Six centimeters, you're progressing really well."

I let out a breath. "New moms have nine months to prepare. I've had two hours." I said, looking up a her. "I don't have anything for a baby. My boyfriend is in fucking Singapore and I'm stuck in a hospital, giving birth to a baby I didn't even know I was carrying."

She rubbed my arm soothingly. "I know you're under a lot of stress but you need to relax for the baby. It's going to be hard but it will go much smoother if it senses that mommy is calm." She gave me a smile. "I'll be back in another hour." I covered my face with my hands and laid back against the bed. I closed my eyes and eventually drifted off to sleep. I was so emotionally drained and exhausted, I didn't know what else to do except sleep.


Mom got to the hospital when I was getting checked again. It had been two more hours and I only had progressed a half a centimeter. She rushed in and gave me a hug. "Mommy." I buried my face in her neck. "I'm so glad you're here."

"Me too baby. I was so scared for you. I tried to get here as fast as I could." She kissed my forehead. "I love you so much sweetheart."

"I love you too mom." I hugged her back to the best of my ability. "I have nothing for this baby mom. What kind of mother am I? I didn't even know I was pregnant." I felt the tears well up in my eyes again.

"Oh baby, it's okay. You need to relax sweetheart. We can take care of it later, right now you need to focus on getting that baby out of your belly." She rubbed my swollen stomach. It wasn't like a normal woman's pregnant stomach. My hips were wider and it looked like I was really bloated.

With my mom there to keep me company the last couple hours have been manageable. It was time to start pushing now, or at least that's what the doctor's told me. It felt so weird being in stirrups and pushing like I was pooping. I felt a lot of pressure as I kept pushing.

"It's crowning, do you want to feel the head?" Dr. Collins said. I reached down and touched the babies head. It felt like a hairy hardboiled egg. Gross. "One more Gabriella." She said. I pushed hard one last time and I saw the doctor holding a tiny baby. She smacked it's butt a couple times and it let out a small wail. A wail that melted my heart into a puddle of goo. "Congratulations Gabriella, it's a beautiful baby girl."

A little girl? I had a baby girl? Mom cut the umbilical cord and they handed the baby girl off to the nurses to clean her up. Before I knew it I had to push out the placenta and they cleaned me up before they handed me the tiny baby girl.

"Gabi, she's 5 pounds and 10 ounces, 18 inches." Mom said, looking at her from over my shoulder. "She's absolutely beautiful and healthy too, for such a small baby."

I pushed up the cap on the babies head and ran my finger along her cheek. "She is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." I looked up at mom and smiled a little bit. "She looks like Troy."

I looked back down at the baby and she gave my mom and me a tiny crooked smile. "She has her momma's smile." Mom said, taking pictures of her. "Your dad shit himself when I told him. Almost literally too."

"I practically shit myself too." I said, lifting her up and kissing my babies tiny forehead. "Mommy loves you, my little surprise."

After about five minutes the nurses came back in and took the baby to run some tests. "You should call Troy, I'm going to call his parents." Mom suggested.

"Okay." I said, picking up my phone. Mom left and I dialed Troy's number.

"Hello?" Troy asked.

"Hi Troy." I said quietly. My voice seemed to echo. "What are you doing?"

"I'm on stage." He said. I heard the faint cheering in the background.

"What?!" I almost yelled. "I'll call you back then."

"No, no. Did you have it?" He asked.

I shifted my phone uncomfortably. "Do you really want to talk about this right now?"

"Yes. It's killing me. Did you have it?" He asked again.

I let out a sigh. I smiled at his eagerness. "Yes I did."

"And?" He asked.

"Congratulations Troy Bolton. You are the proud father of a healthy baby girl." I said.

I heard the crowd go crazy again. "A baby girl? Really?" He asked.

"Yep. She needs a name." I said. "But we can talk about that later. Call me when you're finished with your concert. Break a leg."

"I love you." He said quietly.

"I love you too." I said before hanging up the phone.

Rebecca, my nurse had brought the baby back in. "Hey Gabriella, we are going to teach you the ropes of taking care of this little beautiful girl. I think we are going to start with breast feeding, alright?"

I nodded, wiping my hands on my gown. "I'm a little nervous. I've never really been around babies before and she's really small." I looked over at the tiny baby I couldn't believe I just gave birth to. I leaned over and picked her up.

The nurse watched me, stroking her head lightly. "Does she have a name yet?"

I sighed, shaking my head. "Not yet. I want my boyfriend's input but he's out of the country." I dropped the gown off my shoulder. The nurse taught me the proper way to feed my baby girl. It wasn't as bad as I thought. I should get used to it because I don't have time to get any formula anytime soon.

Once she finished eating, I burped her carefully. I rocked her in my arms. "If you need anything, feel free to press the nurse button." Rebecca said, smiling at me.

"Thank you, Rebecca." I smiled back at her and laid the baby in between my legs, which still had fuzzy feeling from the epidural. It was nearing midnight. I guessed my mom went back my house to sleep. I picked up my phone and took some pictures of my baby.

I studied the little girl I was holding. She was the definition of perfect. I slipped off her cap and played with the tuffs of dark curls on her head. I smiled to myself. She had my hair and my smile. I wondered if she had Troy's eyes or my eyes, or my grandpa's hazel eyes, or his mom's bright green eyes. I sighed, this lucky little girl won the genetic lottery, especially on her daddy's side.

It felt weird becoming a mother within the last twelve hours, especially since I didn't even know I was pregnant. How were we going to explain to the world that I didn't know I was pregnant and Troy was a father? What would David have thought? He would have been a great Uncle. I picked her up and laid her on my chest. I rubbed her back slowly, humming quietly.

I wonder how Troy was taking this all in. He is a father now with a demanding career. He'll either have to stop touring for a little while or I have to stay home with the baby. I was not going to raise my child on a tour bus. I'm sure when she got a little older weekend trips would be okay.

What was I going to do about school? What would happen with Troy's album? All of these questions were piling up in my head, starting to give me a headache. What was I going to name her? I always liked the name Olivia but it just didn't seem to fit her. I definitely needed Troy's opinion on this. I kissed my baby's head. "Where is your daddy when I need him?" I asked her quietly.

She didn't move a muscle. I picked her up and set her in the little plastic bassinette. I placed my phone on my chest and my eyelids started drooping. I was looking forward to Troy's call but I was exhausted and falling asleep. I pulled the blankets up towards my neck and laid the bed backwards a little bit. My eyelids finally closed and I drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
