Chapter 36 – Paul's Confession

Gabriella and Troy had already moved some of her things into Troy's new place with the help of Kyle and the other guys. The girls had gone shopping but Gabriella didn't feel up to it so she told them she would just stay with Troy. Right now they were still at the Montez household having just got the last of Gabriella's stuff. Gabriella and Troy walked out into the garden and sat down to see their families all sitting around talking but Gabriella noticed Paul staring at the two of them. Having enough of his negative attitude Gabriella walked up to him and pulled him up.

"What is your problem?! Just tell me because you keep staring and giving us dirty looks so you might as well say it to my face!" Gabriella shouted angrily.

"You want to know what's my problem?! My problem is my little sister has gotten herself knocked up at 23 with her superstar boyfriend who was he ex at the time!" Paul yelled his face getting redder with rage. "He's destroying your life. The best thing for you to do would be to get an abortion so he can't ruin your life."

"Paul!" Richard warned. "Watch what you are saying."
"I don't care he got her pregnant just because he can't keep his pant's on! How many other girls have you got shacked up or is it just my sister." He shouted turning his attention to Troy. "Everyone knows guys like him are players and can't commit to anything!"

"Look Paul I love your sister so much. Yeah at the time it was a mistake but I'd never leave her now. We both want to keep this baby and we want your support." Troy told him calmly trying to keep the situation under control.

"She can't keep this baby, she isn't keeping this baby!" Paul angrily shouted.

"I am keeping this baby Paul!"Gabriella yelled, tears streaming down her face. Troy just wrapped his arms around her tightly and held her close.

"You can't be serious Gabriella! You're destroying your life!" Paul told her.

"Shut up Paul! I love him! It was an accident but we are going to make this work because we both want this!" Gabriella cried pulling away from Troy's arms and right up to Paul.

"Urgh!" Paul bellowed frustrated pushing his way past into the house and pushing Gabriella in the process.
"Argh!" Everyone watched in horror as Gabriella screamed in pain and clutched her stomach in agony.
"Gabi!" Troy quickly moved forward and wrapped his arms around her supporting her as she goes limp in his arms. "Dad quick we got to get her to hospital!" Troy shouted as he picked her up in his arms. "It's going to be ok Gabi. I promise." Troy said softly trying to reassure her as she cried in his arms.

It had been an 50 minutes since they had arrived at the hospital, forty-five minutes since Gabriella had collapsed clutching her stomach after Paul left, the stressing obviously too much for her to bare. All Troy and everyone wanted to know was if she and the baby was ok.

"Why won't they tell us anything? I want to see her." Troy said running his fingers through his sandy hair.
"They are just taking care of her Troy. We will be able to see her soon. Everything will be ok I'm sure." Jack said putting his hand on Troy's shoulder while they waited. Troy saw his mom walk over to him and open her arms for him.
"Oh Troy come here, she'll be ok, everything will be fine, just let it all out." Troy walked up to his mom and just cried in fear of what might have happened to Gabriella and for fear of their unborn child. Kyle watched on sadly seeing his brother so weak and scared was something Kyle wasn't used to. Troy was the strong one and he hated seeing this side of him.

"What's going on? Is everything ok?" Everyone looked up and saw Paul walk in.
"How is she?! Is everything ok?! You put her here how can you even ask that you told her to get an abortion and now their baby could die because of you, how do you think Gabriella will feel?" Kyle yelled standing up and moving towards him.

"Kyle." Jack warns him before he can do anything else.
"She's my sister and I do care about her. I didn't want this to happen. I'm sorry." Paul said.
"You're sorry? You didn't want this to happen? If you didn't want this to happen why did you say what you did?"Troy asked.
"I don't know. I wasn't thinking."Troy looked up and saw the Doctor walk out.
"What's going on? Is she ok?" Troy running towards him with everyone else right behind.
"Gabriella and the baby are fine. She was just so stressed which caused distress to the baby which could have induced the labour but thankfully we have calmed both of them now and they are resting. I strongly recommend she doesn't get herself involved in anything that could be remotely stressful because we don't want this baby coming any earlier than necessary. You may now go and sit with her but only two at a time." Troy quickly ran to the room while the others thanked the doctor.

Walking into her room, Troy looked at her sleeping peacefully looking so angelic. Sitting down next to her bed, Troy takes her soft small hand in his own and kisses it softly as her eyes fluttered open.

"Hey. What happened? Where am I?" Gabriella asked looking down into Troy's own blue eyes.

"You were in pain with the baby because you were so stressed. You nearly went into Labour but they managed to calm you and the baby down. How you feeling?" Troy asked kissing her fingers again.

"Tired." Gabriella looked up at the door and saw Paul standing there looking guilty. "What do you want?" Gabriella angrily asked as Troy rubbed her hand with his thumb comfortingly.

"I'm sorry about before. I really didn't mean for you to end up in hospital and nearly end up losing your baby." Paul apologized.

"Why do you hate us so much?" Gabriella asked coldly but not quite as harsh as before.

"I don't know. I guess it's because I know how much I hurt you when you were younger and it haunts me that I did that to you and I don't want to see you go through all that again if you and Troy split. I just want to look out for you and it's hard to think that you're not this little girl I used to remember anymore. You're a young woman but I can't seem to accept that and you are old enough to make your own decisions on things. I just don't want you to ruin your whole life if you have this child and Troy suddenly just ups and leaves when he is fully recovered." Paul explained.

"Paul Troy wouldn't hurt me. Not again. We both know what is happening and he wouldn't just forget about me and our child because we're too much in love to ever forget. Yeah we will have to think about what happens when Troy is recovered but we aren't dwelling on that. We're happy right now. One thing I don't get though is why when Troy and I first came back and told you I was pregnant you were happy so why did you change your mind?" Gabriella brought up.

"I guess it was because at that time it was just you two together as friends but know it's you that could get hurt too and I don't want that to happen." Paul honestly answered. Gabriella nodded at Troy to take over.

"I could never hurt your sister. You have to believe me. We have been through so much that I'm not stupid enough to ever lose her again. Yeah we don't know what will happen after when I go back but for now we are happy with us and the way we are handling things." Troy told him as Gabriella squeezed his hand.

"I want you to be a part of my baby's life but only if you want to be and are willing to stop being so over protective because you aren't protecting me your pushing me away." Paul nodded understandingly.

"I promise I will try and back down. I just want what's best for you. I never mean to hurt you." Gabriella smiled.

"I know you didn't. Just trust me this once because I know what I'm doing." Paul nodded.

"I do. Troy look after my little sis because otherwise I will hurt you if you hurt her." Troy smiled and offered his hand to Paul to show he was willing to forget everything too. Just then a nurse walked in with a monitor.

"Miss Montez? We want to just do another quick check up on the baby. I'm afraid I need everyone else to leave." Paul nodded and walked off while Gabriella pulled Troy back.

"Can he stay please? He's the father." The nurse smiled.

"That's fine. Right let's take a look at this little one again and see if things are looking all normal again. This will be cold." The nurse warned as she squirted the cold Gel onto Gabriella growing bump. Gabriella held Troy's hand tightly while they waited for the nurse to check things out. "I can say you have been very lucky mom because it looks like baby is perfectly fine. This here is your baby and as far as I can see there is nothing there to suggest at the moment there will be any problems." Troy kissed the top of Gabriella's head as they watched the screen a few moments longer and their child before the nurse cleaned Gabriella up and left them alone.

Gabriella was dismissed that evening after being given the all clear and she and Troy just went back to their place because of how tired she was and they felt like they needed some time alone after having their families fuss over them for the majority of the day. Gabriella had been put on bed rest for the next few weeks so that she wouldn't get stressed anymore, risking another chance of inducing the labour and distressing the baby even more.

"How you feeling?" Troy asked coming into their room and lying next to her.

"Bored of just lying here and not having anything to do." Troy smiled as he stroked her hair softly. "Hey have you spoke to your doctor about how your knee is doing and how long it will be till you can start playing again?" Gabriella queried bringing up the subject they had all been ignoring.

"I have an appointment tomorrow to discuss everything. To be honest I'm not sure I want to know what he will say though." Gabriella smiled as she leaned up and kissed him softly on the lips.

"Everything will be fine and remember no matter what you will have the two of us here." Gabriella reminded him.

"I know and thank you. I love you Gabs." Troy told her.

"Good because you better had and I love you too." Troy grinned and kissed her passionately before the two settled down and Gabriella snuggled into Troy as the two fell asleep.
