Kyle Bolton

A/N: Hey thank you so much for all your reviews! I loved them all and I got 39 for the last chapter which made me want to update quicker and post this today rather than tomorrow. I hope you all like this chapter. I'm not sure whether I like this one but I tried my best. Please R&R!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot and any OC's.

Chapter 28 - I Promise To Be There For You

"ME?!" Troy asked shocked as Gabriella smiled and nodded. "But how? I mean we didn't..." Troy stopped when he remembered exactly what had happened at Kyle's party between them. "You mean that one time we..." Gabriella nodded. "How long have you known?"

"About 6 weeks. I was going to tell you when you came home for Christmas because I didn't want to tell you over the phone. Overall I'm about 3 months gone now." Gabriella explained as she heard Troy sigh. She knew he was trying to take in everything and he probably needed time on his own. Sitting up, Gabriella went to get off the bed when she felt Troy grab her arm.

"Stay. We need to talk about this." Gabriella nodded as Troy nodded for her to lean back against him. Neither one knew what they were going to do. "Does anyone else know?"

"Kyle found me collapsed in my room at school. After I was taken to the hospital, we made up and he was in my room when the doctor told me I was pregnant. The next day when I was home Sharpay overheard us talking about the baby so then she knew. I managed to keep it a secret from everyone else till the first scan when I told mom because I wanted her to be with me for the scan. Here this is for you." Gabriella explained to him before grabbing her bag and pulling out the sonogram. Handing it to Troy he smiled when he looked at it. Gabriella pointed out the small speck that the nurse had pointed out to her.

"That's our baby." Troy spoke as Gabriella nodded.

"Another thing Troy, your parents and Chloe found out about the baby to last night also Taylor guessed too. I had to tell your family because your mom was going on how it wasn't fair that you could die and you hadn't had a full life." Troy laughed.

"Just like mom to think that I would die." Gabriella rolled her eyes. "Did they find out about Kyle's party too?"

"Kyle told them because I didn't know whether to or not." Gabriella told him as he nodded.

"So what are we going to do?" Troy asked as Gabriella shrugged.

"I don't know. All I know is I want to keep this baby." Gabriella said.

"Me too. I have no idea how we will work this but I promise Gabs that we will work something out. We can do this as best friends because it's us and we can overcome anything life throws at us." Gabriella smiled as the two just lay there holding each other.

A few minutes later someone cleared their throat. Looking to the door the rest of the Bolton family stood there smiling at the two.

"Well if this isn't a familiar sight that I only saw a few weeks ago apart from the clothes weren't on you but on the floor." Gabriella buried her head in Troy's chest as Chloe smacked the back on Kyle's head while Troy and Jack glared at him. Amanda just stood there shaking her head embarrassed at her son's behaviour.

"Kyle watch your mouth because you are in so much trouble already young man." Amanda scolded him as Chloe bit her lip to stop herself from laughing knowing her brother was really in for it. "Hey sweetie how you feeling?" Amanda asked leaning over Gabriella and kissing Troy on his forehead.

"I'll be ok mom but I won't be if you keep calling me 'sweetie'. It's embarrassing. It was bad enough having to be called that at 18 but at 23 mom please just stop." Gabriella rolled her eyes while looking at Chloe who burst out laughing receiving strange looks from everyone else in the room.

"I'm guessing you told him?" Kyle assumed as Gabriella nodded. "And?"

"And what?" Gabriella asked.

"Are you two getting back together?" Kyle asked as Troy shook his head.

"No. We're doing this as friends." Troy told him as Amanda looked at them.

"You mean the two of you are going to share looking after this baby but not be together." Troy nodded.

"We haven't exactly really talked about it that much yet mom. Give us chance before we make any final decisions." Troy warned as the doctor walked back in to the room.

"Nice to see your awake Mr Bolton." Troy smiled. "I guess this pretty lady helps being stuck there easier and more fun." Gabriella blushed as Kyle laughed.

"Gabriella in bed with Troy fun? You have no idea just how..." Kyle shut up seeing everyone glaring at him apart from the doctor who was looking at him amused. "I know outside. I'll be back in a bit." Amanda shook her head as Chloe followed him out the room.

"Doctor you will have to excuse our son. He can get a bit over excited when it comes to his brother." The doctor smiled politely at Amanda.

"I'm sure he makes all your lives more interesting." The doctor commented.

"You could say that." Amanda said while Jack shook his head watching Troy and Gabriella just hold each other. Even though Kyle would come right out and bluntly state the obvious about how Troy and Gabriella should be together in some interesting ways Jack knew he was still right but knew he would have to warn Kyle because there is a child involved now and they can't risk messing things up for the two of them.

"I'm guessing you would like to hear about your knee Mr Bolton." Troy nodded. "I have good news and bad news. Which would you like first?"

"The good since I don't really want to hear the bad." The doctor nodded and smiled.

"Well the good news is the surgery was a success but the bad news is that even after you will have to complete a physiotherapy course we are worried about you playing again." Gabriella felt Troy tense up at what the doctor was suggesting. Gripping his hand she interlaced their fingers and held his hand in hers over her baby bump letting Troy know she was there.

"What exactly are you saying doctor?" Jack asked.

"I think unless you want to cripple yourself or risk damaging your knee further than what it is I think it would be in your best interest to stop playing. I'm sorry Mr Bolton." Troy nodded as the doctor left them all in the room shocked. Gabriella looked up at Troy's blank face.

"Troy?" He broke his stare and looked down at her. Hurt and sadness evident in his eyes. Gabriella wrapped her arms around his torso and just held onto him although she couldn't get quite a close as normal because of the baby bump.

"I promise you son I will help you and you will play again." Jack promised as he had his arm wrapped around Amanda who too could see the sadness in Troy's face.

"No dad." Jack, Amanda and Gabriella all looked at Troy confused. "Thanks for offering but if after all the rehabilitation the doctor still thinks I shouldn't play then I won't." Troy told them as he held Gabriella tightly. Everyone knew she was the only thing helping him to stay strong right now.

"Jack why don't we go tell Kyle and Chloe and also ring and let Chad know." Jack nodded as he left the room with Amanda following.

"You going to be ok?" Gabriella asked as Troy nodded. Gabriella felt him running his hand through her hair.

"I have something to ask you." Gabriella looked at him urging him to continue. "Will you be there for me while I have to go through all this? I mean I know you can't stay up here because of work but I can try and find some kind of rehabilitation stuff back in Albuquerque. You're the only one who I can lean on and won't question any decisions I make." Gabriella smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"I promise I will be there no matter what if you need me. Plus if you can come home for a bit at least it will give us chance to think about the baby and what we do." Troy smiled and kissed her forehead.

"You know you and this baby are going to be the ones who help me through this. I know I have the gang and my family but none of them are as important to me as you." Troy told her as Gabriella squeezed him tightly to her. She knew that even though having a baby know wasn't what she planned and it wasn't the best of circumstances but she knew she wouldn't trade it for anything knowing that she and Troy were having a baby together and it would be their baby.
