Hours Grew longer, Gabriella had fallen asleep in the waiting room, and The doctor came out and shook her. she opened her eyes and looked up at him, he smiled, "Hey, his awake." Gabriella stood up, "Can..I see him?" The Doctor nodded, "follow me." Gabriella nodded walking behind him and going into Troy's room, his eyes were open, and he was weak, but she was just glad he was ok. Gabriella had tears rolling down her cheeks, "Troy..I'm so glad your ok." she hugged him, and layed in the bed beside him. Troy smiled, "Baby, I'm fine..I'm just glad your ok.." she sniffled, "I was so afraid I was gonna lose you.." Troy shook his head, "Never Brie..Never..you will never lose me.."Gabriella sniffled, "I love you Troy so much.. and I'm glad your the father of my baby."
Troy's eyes widned, "Your- Your pregnant?" Gabriella nodded, "yep." Troy smiled holding her close, "This is so great.." he kissed her nose, "I love you." he murmured. she smiled, "I love you too." she pecked his lips back, "But I uhh I want to meet your parents...is that ok? we can both walk back to New Mexico together."
Troy smiled, "I think they'll love you..." Gabriella giggled, the doctor cleared his throat, "Miss Montez, he needs to rest before any lengthy amount of walking can take place." Gabriella smiled, "Don't worry doctor"-she looked at Troy with nothing but undying love; she gave him an eskimo kiss-"I'll make sure he gets all the rest he needs before the trip."
Troy smiled and kissed her lips, Gabriella smiled. The doctor looked at the two young love birds. "Now, Mister Bolton, you will be in here for about a week." Troy groaned running his hand down his face. The doctor crossed his hands over his stomach with his clipboard in hand, "It will take a week to heal..feel better." and with that he left the room. Gabriella smiled, "I guess I should leave and give you some rest.."
Troy peeked through his fingers, smirking, "hey..." he said, grabbing her wrist and pulling her towards him, "I'll only be able to rest if your in here resting with me." Gabriella giggled, "I'd love that...but Ryan is still in the waiting room; and like his sister, he's a drama-drag queen, so I have to tell him that you'll live." Troy chuckled, kissing her lips; "I Just want to hold you baby Brie." she kissed his lips, "I'll be back in 2 seconds-" "Not fast enough." she giggled, giving him another eskimo kiss, "you'll live"-she took his hand and rested it on her belly-"you have an incentive to live."
Troy smiled cupping her cheek and kissing her lips, "I can't wait for the baby to get here." she smiled softly, "I know..me either." she kissed his lips once more, and slipped out of his hand and going out the door to tell Ryan.

A Week later, Troy and Gabriella were back at home, and Gabriella was packing her things, cause her and Troy had a long trip to New Mexico. Troy walked in, with his suitcase, "Brie, are you sure you wanna walk? you do have a car?" he wrapped his arms around her waist. she giggled, "well, we can drive to the airport to get their faster." she wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing her lips, "I mean...I do want to meet your family as soon as possible.." Troy smiled, "Me too, I haven't seen them in forever." she smiled, "So what was it you told them you were coming to Lousiana for?" she asked leaning against the bottom of the bed.
Troy's expression turned grim, he drew in a deep breath, "uh...they don't exactly-" Gabriella looked at him, "they don't know that you left?" he shook his head, "they knew I needed money and they were expecting me to move-" Gabriella interrupted him, "Troy you should've told them, their your parents." Troy sighed, "my parents don't exactly pay attention." Gabriella tilted her head in confusion, "What do you mean?" Troy sighed, "my mom lives...she lives in a sanitorium because she is a paranoid schizophrenic and my dad...he's a drunken lawyer who rarely visits." Gabriella bit her lip, "sounds like your trying to change my mind..." Troy sighed, shaking his head, "no...I love my parents, with all my heart I do, it's just...they aren't themselves most of the time. I still want to see them."
Gabriella bit her lip, "well..I love you... very much.." she pecked his lips, "And I wanna be there for you, no matter what, but I do want to meet them..I want to meet the parents who brought you into this world." Troy smiled cupping her cheeks, "And I wish I could say the same about you, I'm sure your parents would be so proud of you Brie..I'm proud of you." he kissed her lips, "Troy I love you.." he smiled back, "I love you too." she smiled, "We should get going..our flight leaves in an hour."
Troy smiled, "yeah, we should head out." Gabriella nodded and he took her hand, and their suitcases and put them into the car and took off to New Mexico.

When they arrived, Troy was driving, and Gabriella was in the passenger seat as they pulled up into a nice looking house. Gabriella looked at it amazed, "You live here?" he smiled and chuckled, "Born and raised." he slipped out of the car, and taking her hand as she got out on the other side. "Troy, are you nervous? about them meeting me? I"m nervous, what if they don't like me?"
Troy smiled, "Hey, they'll love you..." he took her hand in his, squeezing it gently, "no bullet gets to you." Gabriella winced, "please don't say that..." Troy chuckled, kissing the back of her hand, "wish is my command fair lady." Gabriella giggled, "we should get seeing them." Troy nodded, "well my mom is...is at the clinic, my dad's home." Gabriella nodded, "well...can we still see your mom?"
Troy sighed, "we'll see." Gabriella looked at him, "Troy-" "We'll see Gabriella." she sighed but nodded, as he grabbed her hand leading them inside. he looked around, "Dad?" he said. his dad looked over at him as he was cooking dinner. "Troy? where the hell have you been? do you know how worried your sisters and I and your mother were!" Gabriella stood back, to let the son and father talk. Troy sighed, "I was away, you know, trying to get money...but that's not the point, I'm back, and I brought someone for you to meet..Dad.." he grabbed Gabriella's hand, "This Is Gabriella..The love of my life." Gabriella smiled, and held out her hand, "Nice to meet you Mr. Bolton." Jack smiled grabbing her hand, "You Too Gabriella.. so how did you two meet?" he said taking a seat.
Gabriella smiled, "uh...well I was driving and just saw him walking along the road. Asked him for a ride-your son...uh is kind of rough around the edges." Jack scratched his neck, "Yeah well...he got that from me." Troy chuckled nervously, "uh...dad, where's Alexis and Maree?" Jack looked at his son, "Maree is at Sign Language classes and Alexis is at dance practice." Troy nodded, turning to Gabriella, "Maree likes ASL, she's obsessed with it...Alexis is a dancer-the only one in the family."
Gabriella nodded, "I used to love dancing when I was little." Troy smiled pulling her close, "Maybe you can show me some moves." he waggled his eyebrows, and she giggled. Then Jack chuckled and thought, Yeah, They've already slept together. "why don't you two take a seat." Gabriella and Troy both nodded, and took a seat. Troy held onto Gabriella's hand, ".." Gabriella started. Troy smiled at her, "she's a little nervous.." Jack chuckled, "No need to be nervous Gabriella..were all family here." Gabriella smiled softly, "Thank you." Jack smiled, "So, have you two had sex yet?" he asked taking a sip of his coffee.
Troy chuckled, "ah, uhm..." quick! Change of subject, pick something anything! "Gabriella wants to meet mom." mental facepalm. Jack's smile all but turned grim when it disappeared; his face was blank, he turned to Gabriella, "uh...well she's at the clinic"-his eyes shifted to Troy when he had said 'the clinic'-"she uh...she has been for 4 years now." Gabriella cleared her throat, "Troy told me about the clinic." Jack nodded, "well, I'm sure she's up for visitors"-again he looked at Troy-"she hardly gets them anyway." it was like with him saying 'them' it was like saying 'him.' Gabriella stored it away for furthing pushing but, Jack blamed Troy for something...what though?
Gabriella held onto Troy's hand, "Can we go see your mom now." Troy sighed, but nodded, "sure Brie.. but only for a few minutes.." Gabriella nodded, and looked at Troy's Father, and held out her hand, "It was nice meeting you Mr Bolton..I hope we can all do something together.." Jack shook her hand, "As Do I Gabriella, there's a carnival tomorrow, why won't you and Troy stop by..you can meet Maree and Alexis.. they would be so happy to see that Troy has a Girlfriend."
Gabriella giggled, "We'll be sure to come.." she smiled turning to walk out the door, Troy was about to walk behind her until his father grabbed his shoulder, "I like her, she's a keeper.. don't screw it up.."
Troy scowled, "why would I screw this up?" Jack shook his head, "just...don't let her go"-he smiled-"your mother's gonna like her." Troy smiled back, looking towards Gabriella who was getting into the car, "Well...I don't plan on letting her go. Ever." Jack smiled, "go see your mother, and...your sisters should be back in three hours."
Troy nodded going over to were Gabriella was and she smiled at him, "what were you and your dad talking about?" she wrapped her arms arond his neck, he held her close by her waist, kissing her. he looked into her eyes, "Nothing Beautiful." he kissed her forhead getting into the car.
