This is chapter 8 and it is entitled 'One Condition' if you like please review!

"So do I get to stay at east high?" Gabriella asked as she gripped Troy's hand anxiously.

The tension was thick and intense, everyone was anxious to hear what Gabriella's fate at east high would be. And in a blink of an eye it was known.

"Yes, she can stay. But there is a condition." Mark answered as the room was breaking out in happy cheers.

"And what's that?" Troy asked as Gabriella was kissing his neck.

"You'll have to go to the alternative school." Mark said making everyone stop celebrating.

"Where is that at?" Gabriella asked as her emotion faded from happy to sad.

"You'll have to talk to Mrs. Mayer." Mark answered.

"I'm scared Troy…" Gabriella said as she lay on their bed rubbing her swollen pregnant belly.

"What about?" Troy asked as he lied down next to her.

"Everything…" Gabriella answered with a worried smile.

"Well you're not alone, you've got me." Troy said as he placed his hand on hers that was rubbing her pregnant stomach.

"I know…" Gabriella answered with a whisper as she rolled over to face Troy.

"Matthew Adam." Troy said lacing fingers with Gabriella and she just looked at him confused.

"What now?" Gabriella asked with a smile as Troy traced the outline of her face with his fingertip.

"Matthew, as a name for a boy. The baby." Troy said as he kissed Gabriella's hand sweetly.

"Matthew Adam Bolton, I love it." Gabriella said as she smiled happily at Troy.

"And I love you, my wife." Troy said as Gabriella kissed him lovingly.

"And I love you Troy." Gabriella said as Troy wrapped her up in his arms and they fell asleep.

"So do we have to abide by these rules?" Gabriella asked Mrs. Mayer at their meeting the following day.

"Yes, you do." Mrs. Mayer answered with a fake pleasant smile.

"So I absolutely have to go to the alternative school?" Gabriella asked really not wanting to go.

"Well I was thinking I could talk to the board once more and see what they say." Mrs. Mayer suggested and it surprised Troy and Gabriella.

"Thank you Mrs. Mayer that's very nice of you." Troy replied confused.

This woman had doubted their relationship from the beginning, and now she was trying to help them? It was very confusing.

"Why do you want to help us now, when you once didn't?" Gabriella asked raising her eyebrows suspiciously.

"Well I can see that I was very wrong, and it makes no sense for you to go away now when graduation is in three weeks." Mrs. Mayer explained with an apologetic tone.

"So you're gonna help us and talk to the board?" Gabriella asked with a very happy expression.

"Yes, I am." Mrs. Mayer answered with a very pleasant tone.

"Thank you, Mrs. Mayer." Troy and Gabriella said together in unison.

"You're welcome. And you're dismissed." Mrs. Mayer said waving her hand shooing them out of her office.

"Isn't it great Troy, I might get to stay. Aren't you happy baby?" Gabriella asked as she stroked the back of Troy's neck, where his hairline is.

"Yeah, it is." Troy said with a worried tone.

"'Take time to realize, I'm on your side…" Gabriella whispered those lyrics into Troy's ear as he pulled into the hospital parking lot.

"Our song, 'Realize' by Colbie Caillat." Troy said as he turned the car off with a sigh.

"Yeah, and do you remember what I said when I first played it for you?" Gabriella asked locking eyes with Troy.

"You said that 'right now with what's going on in our lives and that song is the perfect way of describing us and what we need to remember'". Troy answered as he wrapped Gabriella in his arms.

"Right, and then what did I say?" Gabriella asked as she was trying hard to connect with Troy.

"You said 'we can do this, we just have to remember that we are partners not enemies'". Troy answered as Gabriella stroked his neck.

"Right and I meant every word." Gabriella said as Troy looked into her eyes worriedly.

"Yeah, now let's go see our babies." Troy said as he helped Gabriella out of the car.

"Okay, there is the head and there is the spine…" Dr. Allen was pointing out the babies to Troy and Gabriella on the ultrasound.

"Yeah, and you said this time we were gonna find out if they're boys or girls. So what are they?" Troy asked impatiently as he gripped Gabriella's hand.

"Alright, you want to know what you're having, let's see what we got…" Dr. Allen said as she was looking for the sexes.

"Oh, my…" Dr. Allen said as she found the sexes and a smile graced her face.

"Did you find them? What are they?" Gabriella asked getting impatient.

"You are having a son…" Dr. Allen said and Troy's face lit up.

"We're getting a boy? I'm having a son?" Troy asked in happy disbelief as he turned to face his beaming wife.

"Yes Troy, I'm giving you a son…" Gabriella said happily as Troy grinned ear to ear.

"And what about the other one, another boy? What's it?" Troy asked smiling widely at the doctor.

"You are having a daughter and a son. One of each." Dr. Allen answered as Gabriella smiled happily.

"We're having a little girl? I'm having a daughter?" Gabriella asked as happy tears welled in her eyes.

"I'm having a daughter…" Gabriella said as happy tears fell down her face and Troy kissed her lovingly.

"Yes, you are. And you're also having a son too…" Troy said as he hugged Gabriella tightly.

"Capri…" Gabriella whispered to herself on the car ride home, and Troy looked at her confused.

"What Gab?" Troy asked as they pulled into the drive way.

"Capri. That's what I want to name our daughter. It was my grandmama's name and I made the promise that if I ever had a daughter I'd name her Capri." Gabriella told Troy as she rubbed her 5 month pregnant belly happily.

"Capri Brielle Bolton, I think it's beautiful." Troy said as he leaned over and kissed Gabriella's head.

"And what are we going to name our son?" Gabriella asked with a smile as she dried happy tears from her face.

"Oh I don't know, Gabi. What do you think?" Troy asked as he wrapped his arm around Gabriella's shoulders.

"I really like the name Christian." Gabriella said as she locked eyes with Troy.

"Well I like Matthew…" Troy said but trailed off when he saw the look on Gabriella's face.

"Okay well how about this, Christian Matthew Bolton." Gabriella suggested and Troy nodded his head in agreeance.

"We'll see…" Troy teased as Gabriella got out of the car.

"Gabriella come here please!" Troy called for Gabriella from their bedroom.

"What is it Troy?" Gabriella asked with a sigh as she came into the room.

"I just got off the phone with Mrs. Mayer; she talked to the board…" Troy said as Gabriella became hopeful but worried.

"And?" Gabriella asked as she stepped closer to Troy.

"And…you get to stay at east high." Troy said as Gabriella threw her arms around his neck happily.

"I get to stay…" Gabriella said happily but her voice faded into her and Troy's kiss.

"I love you Gabi…" Troy said as he hugged her happily.

"I love you too Troy…" Gabriella said as she stood on her tiptoes to kiss Troy.

"Ow!" Gabriella said quietly as she gripped at her stomach.

"You okay honey?" Troy asked concerned as he held Gabriella.

"Yeah, it's just a cramp. Ow! And there it is again, I need to sit down." Gabriella said in pain as Troy helped her over to their bed.

"Gabi you're not okay." Troy said as he put his hand on Gabriella's shoulder as she bore over in pain.

"Ow! Oh! Troy something's wrong with the babies, I'm bleeding. Take me to the hospital, now!" Gabriella shouted as she was gripping her pregnant stomach in pain.

Rushing to the hospital was a nightmare. Gabriella bled the whole way there; her white skirt was soaked through with blood by time they got to the emergency room. The lives of their unborn children hung in the balance and fear was an ever present state of mind.
