Adoption

After meeting Monica and Chandler things kind of got back to normal. Well as normal as it can be being a pregnant teenage couple.

Two months later a very pregnant Gabriella was sitting in the doctor's office waiting for her name to be called. Troy couldn't make it to this appointment because he had basketball practice. Even though he wanted to be there for Gabriella she insisted that he wouldn't play in East High's upcoming game if he didn't go.

"Gabriella Montez?" The nurse asked the waiting room. Gabriella got up from her seat and followed the nurse into a room. After they took her weight, which Gabriella hated, and her blood pressure she was told to lie down on the bed and wait for the doctor.

"Hello Gabriella how are you doing today?" Gabriella loved Dr. Roberts. They had developed a very close relationship, which made Gabriella feel very comfortable.

"I'm doing okay. How are you?"

"Good, thank you. So today we are going to just do a little check up. And if you want we can see the sex of the baby if you'd like. Is it just you today?"

"Yeah Troy dropped me off then had to go to basketball practice, but will pick me up later."

All right. Now if you will just lay back and let's what we're doing. After Gabriella laid all the way down Dr. Roberts pulled her shirt up to reveal her 6 month pregnant belly and put this clear looking gel on her stomach. Once they were all done Dr. Roberts looked at her file and smiled at Gabriella.

"Do you want to know what you're going to have?"

Gabriella really wanted to have Troy hear it also but the temptation was just too much for her. "Yeah," she said excitedly.

"Okay… you're going to have…."


20 minutes later Gabriella was sitting in Troy's truck. She had just gotten done with her appointment and hadn't said a word to Troy yet.

"Baby what's wrong?" Troy asked worriedly. But Gabriella didn't even hear him. She just kept staring out the window. Troy not knowing what to do pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned it off. He then looked over at Gabriella who was totally oblivious to everything going on, she didn't even notice the car wasn't moving anymore. Troy took off his seat belt climbed over to Gabriella's side took her seat belt off for her and pulled her into his lap, and cradled her into his arms.

"Gabriella what is going on?"

"Nothing Troy. Why did you stop the car?" Her voice was rough and Troy could tell that she was trying to stop herself from crying.

"Look at me." Troy demanded. He couldn't take it anymore; he needed to know what was going on with her. And he needed to know now.

With hesitation Gabriella looked up into Troy's bright blue eyes and started crying. She couldn't help but think what if our baby has that color eyes. Ever since she found out the baby's gender she was thinking if adoption is what she really wanted.

"What is going on? You haven't said anything since I picked you up at the doctors. Did something happen? Is everything okay?"

She nodded her head. "Yeah, I found out what we're having. Do you wanna know?"

Troy didn't really want to get to connected to his unborn baby, because it will just be harder to let go of it. But then he didn't want to call his baby it anymore.

"Yeah sure."

"We're going to have a girl. A little baby girl." Gabriella said crying harder then she has ever cried before.

Troy couldn't help but start crying with her. He was going to have a little girl. No. He wasn't going to have the baby. Other people were going to take care of his baby. His little baby girl.

He was starting to think is adoption really for them? We could take care of our baby. We both got scholarships to Duke together. Full ride scholarships. They could use all of their college money for the baby.

Troy pulled away from Gabriella and looked into her deep brown eyes and asked the hardest question he will ever have to ask. "Are you sure we want to do this?"

Gabriella who was still crying uncontrollably looked up at him. "I don't know. It's all so confusing. Everything is happening so fast. I just don't know what to do anymore."

"Let's go back to my house; I don't want to have this conversation here."


20 minutes later Troy and Gabriella were lying down on Troy's bed holding each other tightly.

"What if we kept the baby? She is ours. Not anybody else's."

"I was thinking that. We would have the money since we both got scholarships; we are going to be living together anyway. We can do this." Troy agreed.

"But what about Mr. and Mrs. Bing? They're going to be crushed, if we keep her."

"We're going to be crushed if we give her up. Okay? Don't think about what our parent's want, or Mr. and Mrs. Bing want. What do you want? What does your heart want?"

"I want my baby. I want your baby. I want our baby. I wanna take care of her. I wanna hear her call me mommy and you daddy. I don't want anyone else taking care of her but us."

Troy was jumping for joy when he heard her say this. Even though he would never admit it to her, he kind of never wanted to look into adoption. He only did to make Gabriella happy. But when she started saying she wanted to keep their baby he was practically busting out of his skin.

"Baby are you sure this is what you want to do?"

"More then anything. Do you want to?" She asked. She wanted to make sure this is what they both wanted not just herself.

"I want people to know that our baby is OUR baby. I want to keep her and know that she was created out of love. Our love. I want her."
