Troy and Melissa watched Gabriella for another minute, the rhythmic thumping of their hearts being the only thing that they heard, and their bodily pains subsiding, as they could only think of Gabriella's pain.

Suddenly, the Gabriella's breathing machine began beeping abnormally fast.

"Beep. Beep. Beep. Beeep. Beeeep! Beeeep!"

Melissa twisted her head towards Troy, and shot him a nervous glance, only to get an identically as pained glance back.

Linda, who had been watching Troy and Melissa from a distance, went running to find one of the doctors, which had been taking care of Gabriella.

Moments later, a man about Troy and Gabriella's age who was about average height, and had blonde hair, and brown- eyed doctor walked in.

"Hi, I'm Doctor Ryan Evans, you paged me?" he asked in that monotone that doctors always seem use.

"Yes. Miss. Montez's machine seems to beat to- steadily for her to be in a coma," Linda told the doctor.

"Yes, about that…" Dr. Evans trailed, just noticing Troy and Melissa on stretchers with the corner of his eye.

"Troy? Melissa? Erm… Mr. Bolton, Miss. Baylor?" Dr. Evans's eyes widened.

"Ryan?" Tory asked softly, very confused by everything.

"Uncle Ryan?" Melissa question softly, and just as confused as Troy.

"Do you know these two?" Linda asked, obviously confused by everything that was going on.

Dr. Evans sighed; there was no way out of this one- way street dilemma.

"Yes," Dr. Evans said truthfully. "Mel- Miss. Baylor is my twin sister and he husband's adopted daughter. Tr- Mr. Bolton is Melissa's birth- father, and Ms. Montez is Melissa's birth- mother."

Linda was about to respond, when Gabriella's machine began to beep in an irregular beat for someone who was in a coma, again.

"Back to Ms. Montez, Dr. Evans!" Linda exclaimed in a very frustrated tone. "Why are you standing there, not moving if her breathing is off?"

"Actually, her breathing is just fine- well as good as can be expected for someone in her state," Ryan told Linda, as he had 3 sets of confused eyes starring blankly back at him.

"So…" Melissa huffed, annoyed with all of the heavy, and "need- to- know" tension.

"Ms. Montez is bearing a child." Dr. Evans said flatly, and paused, but not long enough to get another response from anyone else. "And before you said anything- the child is fair condition…"

A huge sigh of relief, awe, and over- all shock came from both Troy and Melissa.

"Then who's the father?" Linda asked.

Ryan shot Troy a confused look, and Troy could only nod his head.

"Beep- beep. Beep- beep. Beep- beep!" New, different paced noises began to flow from Gabriella's breathing machine.

Dr. Evans hopped, still slightly frozen in shock from the evens that had happened just moments before.

"Linda-" Ryan instructed. "Get two nurses, and have them help take Troy and Melissa back to IC," he said ignoring the fact that he had just referred to two patients by their first names. "And on your way tell Dr. Jacobs, and Dr. Jennings that I need assistance in IC room 304!"

Linda nodded, "Yes, Dr. Evans."

And with that Linda left the room, and appeared a minute later with two men in lab coats, and two men in nurse's scrubs. The two men in scrubs each took one stretcher, and pulled Troy and Melissa out of the room.

The first nurse turned left with Troy, and the other turned right with Melissa.

And although the Troy and Melissa were being separated, they knew that they would be seeing the other again very, very soon…

PS: What did you think of Ryan as a doctor? I referred to Ryan as "Dr. Evans" more for effect in this chapter, but in later chapters I will most likely refer to him as just plain 'Ryan".
