Chapter 36 - Repetition

Gabriella was once again hunched over the toilet, vomiting all she had eaten the previous day.

Troy was once again kneeling behind Gabriella's quivering body, stroking her back and whispering words of comfort and love in her ear.

Gabriella sobbed as she felt weak, weightless. She was never one to feel sorry for herself but right now she did, and she would admit it to anyone. For once in her life Gabriella Montez was thinking about herself. Troy pulled hr to him once she had finished and he flushed the toilet. They sat on the bathroom floor, holding each other, Troy whispering in her ear, Gabriella sobbing in his chest, for about twenty minutes. When she felt stronger she stood and cleaned her teeth and splashed her face with cold water.

"You feeling better baby?" Troy murmured in her hair before he kissed her head softly.

"A little" she mumbled. "Don't feel too sick anymore, just dizzy and weak" she answered as she put her toothbrush back in the holder.

"Shall we go back to bed?" Troy asked her. Gabriella nodded and he picked her up, bridal style, and carried her into their room. He lay her under the covers and sat by her. He put her head in his lap and stroked her hair and face softly. He leant down every few minutes to kiss her lips, nose, forehead, anything he could reach. She eventually fell asleep and he sighed.

He hated this, hated that it was he who caused this to happen. If he'd have remembered to wear a condom she wouldn't be feeling so rough. But then they wouldn't have baby E.T on the way. He just wished he could trade places with her for a few days at least. Give her a break. Giver her a proper nights sleep, a lie-in, anything to make her better.

Yes she wasn't sick exactly, but she wasn't well either. She was being sick with a positive outcome but she was still being sick. He hated it! He looked at her when they were in the bathroom and his breath-takingly beautiful, sexy girlfriend was gone. She was still gorgeous, to him she always is. But she had dark purple circles under her eyes, her naturally sun kissed skin was pale and she just looked... ill. He heard her sigh and he looked down.

He smiled. She was smiling in her sleep, and if it wasn't for the dark circles under her eyes, or her pale skin, she would look like sleeping beauty. She whispered his name in her sleep and his eyes filled with tears. The love and protectiveness he felt for this girl was unbelievable. She was his world. His life. And right now his life, his world, was suffering and he had no clue how to stop it.

Troy rested his head against the headboard and closed his eyes. He wouldn't fall asleep, his mind was racing. He needed to do something for her. Something to make her feel better. She was his baby, his princess, his sweetheart and she was hurting. Not in an unbearable way, she wasn't dying, but he knew the one thing Gabriella hated was being sick. He let his tears slide down his cheeks. Then he was asleep.

"Troy? Babe wake up" he heard her angelic voice and opened his lids slowly.

"What time is it?" He asked, noticing she was dressed already.

"11:00am, why did you fall asleep like that baby? Your neck will be well stiff" she rub his shoulders as she straddled his hips, he was still in his sitting position.

"I didn't want to risk waking you" he told her, stroking her cheek.

"Have you been crying?" She noticed the red streaks going down his face. "Baby what is it?" She noticed his eyes fill with tears again.

"I am so sorry" he broke down and cried in her arms.

"Shhh, Troy, Shhh, baby it will be ok, Shhh" she rocked him softly and heard the door creak open. Michelle's eyes widened and Gabriella mouthed 'later' to her and she nodded, leaving silently.

Troy pulled away and Gabriella wiped his tears, she ran her hand through his hair, she kissed his eyes, his nose, his mouth, his head then she planted a long, slow, passionate kiss on his lips. She pulled away and spoke.

"Now, tell me what has gotten my superman so upset?" He smiled slightly at her nickname for him.

"I just feel so horrible, you are not getting a full nights sleep because you wake up being sick, you don't look yourself and it is my fault" he confided in her.

"What? It isn't your fault!" She exclaimed. "It's the baby" she told him.

"The baby that I made you get pregnant with" he mumbled.

"Troy, this is not your fault, I'm ok, I feel fine" she hugged him. "Troy please don't do this, I need you, we need you" she placed his hand on her tummy. "Your baby is in there" She smiled at him. "Your daughter or son is in my tummy Troy, it is amazing" she gushed. "Our very own baby Bolton" Troy's eyes widened.

"Wh-what?" He asked.

"What?" She frowned.

"What did you just call the baby?"

"Baby Bolton?" She frowned again.

"Your giving the baby my name?" He asked.

"Of course, why would I not?"

"Would you not want it to be a Montez?" She smiled and shook her head.

"I want my baby to be like it's daddy, a Bolton through and through" she smiled. "I want our baby to have your eyes, your smile" she told him.

"I want our baby to have your curls" he joined in. "Your flawless skin" she kissed him.

"I love you Troy Bolton"

"I love you too Gabriella" she kissed him again then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in" Gabriella called as she got off him.

"Hey guys, what time are we going to the mall?" Taylor came in and smiled.

"Ummm..." Gabriella looked at Troy.

"Give me twenty minutes to get ready" Taylor nodded and left with Gabriella right behind her.

Twenty minutes later as promised Troy came down the stairs, all smiles, the exact opposite to before. He had a quick drink of juice then smiled.

"So we gonna head out or what?" He picked up the car keys and Chad, Taylor and Gabriella followed.

Chad got in the front passenger seat and Gabriella and Taylor rode in the back. They sang along to the radio and laughed the whole ten minutes drive to the mall and once Troy had parked the car they noticed Cal and Ben waiting by the entrance. Gabriella ran over to them and hugged them both.

"Hey guys" she smiled.

"Hey Gabs" Ben smiled.

"How is E.T today?" Cal asked.

"Great" she touched her tummy. Once everyone had said hello they entered the mall. They window shopped for a while. Troy and Gabriella holding hands, Chad and Taylor with their arm around each other. Ben was stood next to Troy. Then Gabriella and Taylor were linking arms, Chad was obviously on the other side of Taylor then Cal was stood next to Chad.

"So, are we actually going in any shops?" Taylor asked as the guys groaned.

"How about you guys go and look in sport shops or something and we'll meet you for lunch in say an hour?" Gabriella suggested.

"You sure baby?" Troy asked.

"Yeah, it's ok, meet you in the food court at..." she looked at her watch. "1:30?"

"Ok, see you then ladies" Cal said. All the guys walked off and Gabriella and Taylor linked arms again.

"Where shall we go?" Gabriella asked.

"In there" Taylor pointed.

"Baby store?"

"Yes, I wanna buy my niece or nephew a present" Gabriella giggled and followed Taylor into the shop.

At half past one Gabriella and Taylor went to the food court and saw the guys sitting in a booth. Gabriella smiled and scooted in next to Troy as Taylor sat in Chad's lap.

"Woah!" Cal said. "Spend much?" The guys laughed.

"Shut it, it isn't for me" Gabriella announced.

"Who is it for babe?" Troy asked as she had some of his drink.

"Baby Bolton" she smiled.

"Awww, how cute does that sound?" Taylor smiled.

"Better than E.T huh?" Troy asked.

"Defo" Cal huffed as Gabriella giggled.

"You can still call him E.T if you want" Gabriella said.

"Him?" Chad questioned.

"Yes, obviously we don't know if it's a boy but saying he is better than saying it right?"

"Yeah, course it is" Ben smiled.

"So you gonna show me what you bought?" Troy asked.

"Show you when we get home" she smiled.

"Why not now?" She leant down to his ear.

"I lied, it isn't all for the baby" she whispered and he smirked.

"Ahhh, ok then, so what are we going to do now?" Troy asked.

"How about we go see a movie?" Taylor suggested.

"Yeah, I hear 'Bandslam' is supposed to be good" Gabriella smiled.

"Do you girls want some lunch first?" Ben asked.

"Nah, I am still full from breakfast" Gabriella said.

"Me too" Taylor nodded.

They all left the food court, Troy carrying some of Gabriella's bags and holding her hand in his free one. They all bought tickets to see 'Bandslam' and got some snack. Troy got popcorn for him and Gabriella to share as well as a large diet coke. Chad got nacho's, Taylor got a big tub of malteasers' and they got an orange soda to share. Ben and Cal just got a drink each.

They went to the back of the theatre. Chad sat at one end, Taylor was on his right, on her right was Ben, then Cal, then It was Gabriella, then Troy on the other end. Gabriella put her head on Troy's shoulder and he kissed her head.

After the film they got outside.

"That was a good film" Gabriella announced.

"Yeah" everyone agreed.

"What time is it?" Chad asked. Troy checked his watch.

"Nearly 4:30" he answered.

"We better head off" Cal said.

"Yeah, us too" Gabriella smiled. "I'll call you tomorrow ok guys?"

"Ok Gabs" Ben smiled. They said their goodbyes and went to their own cars.

When Troy, Gabriella, Chad and Taylor got home Michelle was back from going to see her friend.

"Hey Miche" Gabriella smiled before taking her purchases upstairs.

"Did you guys have fun?" She asked the others.

"Yeah, we watched that 'Bandslam'" Chad answered.

"Oh is it good?"

"Yeah" Taylor smiled.

"I'll be back in a sec guys" Troy went after Gabriella.

He walked in their room and saw her emptying her bags.

"Can I see the baby stuff now?" She smiled.

"Sure daddy" she giggled. First she lifted up a mini T-Shirt that was cream and said in dark writing '50% Mommy
50% Daddy

100% Gorgeous'

"Awww that is cute babe" he smiled holding the tiny piece of clothing in his hand. "What else?"

Gabriella opened another bag and took out it's contents. She held up a White Sleeping Bag with a bunny one the front. She also got out a sleep suit that said 'Cool Like Daddy' on the front. The cool was in orange writing, the like was in a turquoise writing and the daddy was in multi-coloured writing. Troy smiled at that one.

Gabriella then got the next sleep suit out and it was like the other but said 'Cute Like Mommy' and the writing was a little different. The last item in the bag was a red and white striped sleep suit that said 'Don't Wake Me, I'll Wake You!' on the front.

"Babe they're well cute" he smiled.

"Wait, I bought a couple more" Troy smiled watching her get excited. She took out a tiny pair of 'Jasper Conran' booties with little pictures of chicks on the front. She also pulled out two pairs of tiny mittens by 'Jasper Conran' and two sets of bibs. One set had the duck and chick pattern and the other set had bunny's on them, both by 'Jasper Conran' again. She also bought a set of two baby hats with bunny's on them.

"Is that all?"

"Baby stuff yeah" she smirked then picked up a smaller bag.

"That is a tiny bag" he smirked.

"It contains a tiny outfit" she whispered in his ear. He chuckled and kissed her ardently.

"I love you loads, you know that right?" Gabriella nodded.

"And you know the feeling is mutual yeah?" She smiled as he nodded and pulled her body to his and kissed her.

"We better get back downstairs" Troy said when they pulled away.

"Yeah, I'll give you a preview of my outfit later" she whispered in his ear before winking and walking out. Troy blinked and laughed before following the love of his life, the soon to be mother of his child, and hopefully one day his wife out the room.

So I managed to give you the next chapter=] It isn't really about anything specific, I just wanted to show how Troy feels every morning when Gabriella is up with the morning sickness. I wanted to show how it affects him just as much her. The rest after that is just light, fluffiness=] Showing them with their friends.

I also want to say I will not be posting another chapter until Monday, maybe Sunday night if I can find a spare minute. I promise though Monday I will try my best to post at least two chapters to make up for not updating over the weekend=]=]
