-1Chapter 3
A week later, Gabriella had successfully beat the school record for quickest 100 metres and she was so happy, I'm so proud of her.
I had missed my first banned match but I still went and supported everybody, they still won 2-1 against some team from Arizona.
It was now 5 days before Gabriella's birthday and we were at the mall, I was trying to decide what to get her but having a girlfriend who won't tell you what she want's is hard. She I got Shar to ask her and she said she wanted money. I can't give her money.
I went in search in what to get her, while Shar distracted her.
"Man, I have no clue what to get her," I sighed, running a hand threw my hair.
"She's your girlfriend, not mine," Bubba shrugged.
I groaned and walked into another shop which had clothes in, I went in search of something she'd like.
"I give up!" I groaned, resting my head on the table at the food court "It's hopless,"
"You've still got 5 more days, dude," Zeke said.
"I suppose," I sighed and sat up.
"Now look happy, the girls are coming over," Chad hit my shoulder.
"Okay, geez," I rubbed my arm.
Gabriella slid in the booth next to me and I looked at her, frowned and made her look at me gently holding her chin "Have you been crying?" I mumbled, stroking her cheek.
Gabriella whimpered and then rest her forehead on my chin before tears started to fall again. I frowned but pulled her closer, hugging her tightly. "Baby, what's wrong?" I whispered, stroking her back while moving her to my lap.
She shook her head and cuddled closer to me, rested my cheek on hers and gently whispered sweet nothing into her ear while I playing with a rip in her jeans.
"You wanna go for a walk, sweetie? I asked, looking down at her blotched face.
She nodded and took in a shaky breath.
"I'll see you later guys," I said before getting up and wrapping my arm around her shoulders while Gabs cuddled into me. We walked to the park and took a seat next to a massive pond, I leant against a tree and Gabriella was between my legs.
"So you gonna tell me what's wrong?" I whispered, letting my chin rest on her shoulder.
She nodded "But you gotta promise not to run or shout or be mad," Her voice cracked.
"I promise," I kissed the back of her neck.
"Troy," She sniffed "I'm pregnant,"
My jaw dropped but I tightened my grip on her so she knew I wouldn't go anywhere while I was speechless.
Gabriella. Pregnant. Me. Father. Baby. Pregnant. Gabriella.
"Wow," I finally breathed out. "Erm," I took a deep breath and slowly let it out. "Pregnant, huh?"
"Yah," Gabriella nodded.
"When did you find out?" I asked.
"Today, at the mall,"
I closed my eyes and licked my dry lips, trying to swallow but my throat was like sand paper. "How far along are you- are we?" I corrected myself.
"I don't know, I need to make an appointment at the hospital," Gabriella said "But Troy, I don't think I can get rid of it," Gabriella mumbled, bring my hand up to her mouth and kissing the back of it.
"I don't want you to get rid of the baby," I shook my head "I wanna keep it. I'll stay beside you every step of the way," I told her, nudging the side of her head with my nose. "I promise,"
Gabriella nodded and closed her eyes, leaning further back "Thank you," I smiled.
"My pleasure, baby," I smiled against her cheek "Kiss?"
Gabs turned her head in my direction and looked into my eyes "I love you,"
"I love you too, beautiful," I whispered against her lips and closed my eyes, kissing her softly, massaging her lips with mine.
I pulled back "I'll book you an appointment now," I grinned, pulling out my cell and finding the number for the hospital. Gabriella closed her eyes and relaxed against me, some how she was even more beautiful now she was carrying my baby than when she wasn't.
"Hello?" A woman said
"Hi, ermm can I book an appointment for my girlfriend?" I asked, biting my lip.
"Yes and what will this be for?" She asked.
"Ermm to confirm a pregnancy and to see how far along she is," I rubbed Gabriella's side.
"Okay and how old is your girlfriend?"
"She's 16, turning 17 in a couple of days," I told her, licking my bottom lip.
"Okay and when would you like this appointment?"
"Erm do you have any for today?" I asked.
"Actually we do, could you get here in 30 minutes?"
"Yes, thank you, bye," I said, hanging up the phone.
"We've got an appointment in half an hour, babe. Is that okay?" I asked her and she nodded.
"Yeah,"
I kissed her temple and moved my hand under my sweater she had on and gently rubbed circles on her stomach. "Your gonna be fine, you know," I whispered.
Gabriella's eyes opened and smiled "I know because I have you," She grinned and got up. "Now let's go see our baby,"
I chuckled and laced her fingers with mine and walked to my truck.
Gabriella had just had the blood test and they were sending it off for a quick examination so we could know right away, so now we were just walking in the cafeteria.
"So I know we only found out today but when our we telling our parents and friends?" I asked, sitting down with a sandwich and a cookie.
Gabriella shrugged "Not until, I start showing I think, what about you?"
"I think the same," I smiled.
After we ate we went back to the waiting room and got called right away.
"Gabriella Montez," An about 30 year old, tanned, dark haired woman said and smiled at us when we stood up and walked up to her. "Please come in,"
We took a seat on the two chairs there "Thanks,"
"So Gabriella you are indeed pregnant and your 11 weeks along. You should start showing soon because your petite," The doctor explained "Oh and I'll be your doctor throughout your pregnancy, My name is Doctor Stephanie Walker," She added, smiling.
"I'm Troy," I smiled.
"Gabriella,"
"Nice to meet you,"
We nodded and smiled back "Do you have a due date?" Gabriella asked.
"Yeah," She clicked on a few things on a computer "7th July, next year,"
Gabriella smiled and I kissed her head and smiled.
"So do you have any questions before we do the ultrasound?" She asked.
"Ermm yeah, what vitamins do I have to take?" Gabs asked.
"I'll give you the ones you need and because your under 17 we have to give you more, just to make sure your baby is getting everything they need," Doctor Walker said.
"Anything else?" Gabriella asked me.
"Nuh-uh," I hummed, shaking my head.
"Okay, shall we do the ultra scan?" The doctor asked, gesturing to the bed.
Gabriella nodded and lay down on the bed, I stood next to the bed on the opposite side of the Doctor and held Gabs hand. The Doctor wheeled a machine over and she sat on a stool.
"Is it okay if I pull up your shirt?" She asked and Gabriella nodded.
The doctor rolled it up to just below her boobs "This is going to be cold," She squirted some blue gel onto Gabriella's stomach and then put this roller thing on her stomach and began to search for our baby. A minute later, a smile came on the Doctors face and turned the screen toward us.
"Okay, so there's your baby," She said, pointing to it.
I couldn't believe I was looking at our baby "Wow," I mumbled, chewing my bottom lip.
"Here's your baby's head, arms, legs, nose," She pointed them all out. I teared my eyes away from the screen toward Gabriella who was smiling gently at the screen.
"I'll give you two a minute," The doctor stood up and left the room.
"Baby?" I whispered, kissing the back of her hand.
"Hmm?" She hummed, looking up at me.
"That's our baby," I grinned.
Gabriella nodded quickly and pulled on my t-shirt to bring me in for a kiss. I placed a few firm kisses on her lips before sucking her bottom lip and placing another kiss before looking at the screen again.
"Shall we asked for a copy?" I asked.
"Definitely,"
Doctor Walker walked back in and we asked for a copy, she printed it out for us and handed it us.
"So I want to see you for your 3 months which is in a week, so is the same time next week okay for you?" She said.
"Yeah, that's fine," I answered.
"Okay and here's your vitamins," She handed Gabriella a bag "I'll see you next week then," She smiled.
Gabriella got up "Thank you,"
"Thanks, bye," We walked out of the room and I pressed a quick kiss to her lips.
Once we were back at the truck, I stood between her legs while she was sat in the passenger seats. I was drawing patterns on her thighs.
"So you'll be showing soon," I mumbled, nudging my nose against her's.
"Yeah, at about 13 weeks you'll be able to notice. No one but me and you though," Gabriella said, taking my fingers and playing with them.
I grinned and kissed her head. "Right let's go home, it's getting dark," I mumbled.
"Wait," Gabriella pulled me back and kissed me softly for a few seconds.
"That was nice," I smiled against her lips and then pulled back.
Gabriella laughed "Go away, sappy," She joked and pushed me away.
"Cheeky," I winked and walked around the truck and got in the driver seat.
