Life couldn't have gotten any better for Gabriella. After a month later, she was in good health, had an amazing boyfriend, a baby on the way, and a job promotion at her company. She went from sharing the office with Carter selling their companies magazine publication area wide, to being the head of the magazine department selling nationwide. She had her own big office, an assistant, and flexible work hours in the morning. The catch? She had to stay late.
On the other hand, Troy reached his maximum in his life too. Completing most of his business training, he was on his way to opening a new restaurant and being a chef there too. He too had to stay late making their relationship and their work life hectic.
Her pregnancy for her was overall going well. By her ninth week, she was going through complete hell, her body was changing, the morning sickness knocked her out, and her little pouch was starting to become a bit visible, but you couldn't even tell yet. She made that change from toxic foods to healthier ones almost killing her.
Her next week was another terrible step. Her already larger breasts were starting to pain her, and her complaining was killing Troy. She enjoyed it, but he didn't. This week for her was the point in which she decided to start thinking about a nursery. She also enrolled in some exercise classes for her and the baby.
Finally her 11th week rolled around and by now at the office, she was probably getting suspicious looks. Her stomach was just a bit sticking out, but again, not terribly. Nearing the end of her first trimester, she was getting worried about telling her co-workers and employees.
"Gabriella!" Her assistant shouted. Gabby was sitting on Carters desk laughing with him and a whole bunch of the workers about something. The small petite assistant ran up. She smiled as Gabby smiled back. She loved Arielle. She had dark orange colored hair with bright blue eyes and a little bit of a dark tan to her. She looked like the legitimate mermaid from Disney.
"Yeah?" She asked.
"Your doctor called scheduling an appointment tomorrow at 12:30." Arielle was beaming. "The OB/GYN confirming your baby's ultrasound?" She squealed and Gabby gasped, and the whole office 'Awed'. Gabby dropped her head between her hands and looked up smiling. Maybe she didn't love Arielle. Well. That just blew her cover.
"Congrats!" People started saying as they hugged her. People were happier then her about this situation.
"Thanks." Gabby smiled.
"I'm so happy for you and Troy!" A female said. Carter hugged her and sighed.
"I'm really happy for you. I truly am." Gabby smiled back and enjoyed this. She was glad her work approved.
When the clock struck nine, and the whole office was cleared, Gabby sat at her office going over paper work that she received as she was about to leave the office. She sighed rubbing her belly that was extremely hungry. Startled by the knock on her door, she looked up and saw Troy smirking with a bag of Chinese take out in his hand. She smiled.
"What are you doing here?" She exclaimed excited. She got up and they both met halfway and kissed each other quickly.
"A janitor let me in." He said walking over and putting the Chinese on her desk. "We're pretty tight." She giggled and sat back down as he loosened up his tie and removed his jacket. "How are my babies?"
"We're good." She smiled then groaned hitting her head on the table. Troy raised an eyebrow.
"What happened?" He asked cautiously.
"My assistant told me about my appointment tomorrow and she announced it to the whole office." She sighed and Troy rolled his eyes.
"I thought I told you to tell your boss a month ago when we both found out." She looked up and smiled shrugging it off.
"Yeah...About that." She smiled cheekily and he shook his head, opening the bag of Chinese. Her eyes rolled in the back of her head smelling the take-out box. She smiled looking at the food. "Me and junior are a little hungry. Let's go." She said impatiently. He handed over her food and he sat down staring at her go at the food.
"When you said junior," He started looking at her eat with her brown hair thrown to the side, and looking tired, he smile slightly. "Do you think we're going to have a boy?" She stopped eating and looked up meeting his deep blue eyes with her brown ones. She sighed and shrugged her shoulders.
"To be honest," She said pulling her hair into a pony tail still locking eyes with him. "I think we're going to have a girl. But what would I know?" She joked eating some beef fried rice.
"Yeah, I hope we have a boy." He smirked taking a bite of his eggroll. She scoffed looking out the window.
"I see we're conflicted on the gender of our un-born baby." She laughed uncontrollably.
"Yeah," He said softly looking at her again. "I want a Liam."
"I want a Sophia." She fought back.
"You can get your Sophia after I get my Liam." He smirked and she stuck her tounge out. He smiled leaning over the desk and kissing her gently on the lips. She smiled kissing him back as she put her food to the side finishing up her paper work.
Sitting in the doctor's room waiting impatiently and having a terrible urge to pee, she sat there in her gown waiting for her doctor. Troy had to stay at the restaurant and wait for a contractor to come so he wouldn't be able to accompany her. The doctor opened the door and Gabby smiled.
"Hello Gabriella!"
"Hi." She said shyly. "What's up?" She asked casually.
"Well, I want to know what up with you." She said politely. Gabby lied down and the doctor placed her feet on the syrups and examined her. "Your cervix is perfectly fine and everything seems to be going well." Gabby smiled and she began to press on her stomach feeling around for the baby. "Looks all good." Gabby smiled.
"So should I be expecting this big belly next week or what?" Gabby joked and her doctor laughed.
"It's going to be there, but it's not going to pop out like a watermelon. Your fetus is the size of a grapefruit right now so no worries. Want an updated picture?" Gabby nodded as she hooked up the ultrasound machine. Getting it warmed up and ready Gabby looked over to the baby pictures.
"Oh, I forgot to ask, how's the work load?" Gabby groaned. "Uh-oh."
"Yeah uh-oh. I just got promoted and I have longer hours now." She said honestly.
"Well since it's fairly early in your pregnancy, I want you to be careful. You might go into pre-mature labor and or a miscarriage." Gabby nodded hoping that would never happen.
"I will be careful. I promise." She applied the gel and her baby showed up again. It would never get old to see her baby in the womb on the screen.
"You seem to be having a very good pregnancy so far. Congrats." She smiled. She changed back into her clothes and looked at Gabby. "Oh and happy thanksgiving!"
Sleeping on the couch in her dressy outfit with a thermos full of water, she was watching the Thanksgiving parade on TV. Troy who was almost done getting the food ready for the oven, stepped out of his room dressed for the day. He walked past a mirror in the house and checked himself out. Wearing a navy dress shirt and black dress pants, he smirked fixing his hair around and looking deep into his blue orbs. He walked over to the kitchen and heard a weird noise.
"Gabby...?" He wondered. There was a loud snore from the other side of the couch and he chuckled walking over as he saw Miss Piggy on the screen in balloon form. He peeked over the couch and saw his girlfriend sleeping peacefully. He smirked touching her long curls that were thick and sexy, her beautiful navy blue baby doll dress with a silver hemmed bust accompanied by her still tan legs.
He smiled trying to find the bump that he saw earlier when she was walking around. She snored loudly as her arm placed on her stomach and the water bottle on her side. He took a picture with his iPhone and smirked about to place it on Facebook. He typed, 'Happy Thanksgiving.' and chuckled walking away. There was a soft knock on the door and he turned on his heels to let it open.
The Montez boy's all came a little early with their wives, and girlfriends. Well. Robert was the only one with the pregnant wife, and Ethan with the girlfriend. Poor Gabe.
"Hey Troy!" Rob said giving him a hug dressed in a casual grey sweater and dress pants too. His beautiful blonde wife was about seven months pregnant and beaming. She had medium hair and bright green eyes looking oddly close to Sharpay. Speaking of, where was that drama queen?
They all said their hellos but something-or someone was missing.
"Where's Gabby?" Gabe wondered looking stunning in a black dress shirt and casual jeans on. His light brown hair was tossed to the side. They all heard a loud snore, then a cough.
"I'm up...I'm up." She said sitting up slowly rubbing her drowsy eyes. She looked over to her family getting a little too comfy in his house. "Oh gosh." She said standing up greeting them. She awed when she saw Caroline. "Hi doll!" They hugged and she talked and greeted everyone else. As they got comfy at the table, she walked into the kitchen going into hard working mode. Troy stopped her.
"Excuse me." He said as she went to grab the platter. She looked confused and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes?" She questioned.
"Stop working miss." He chuckled kissing her quickly. "It's my house, my catering." She sighed.
"My family, my serving." She said grabbing the platter and brought it to the table sitting next to her big brothers as Troy brought out his and Rob's favorite beer.
"How's the baby Gabby?" Ethan asked as he sat next to his girlfriend that looked a little like Arielle but with light brown hair.
"Ehh. The little suckers fine." She joked. "No, but really I'm having a really easy going pregnancy." She smiled. Rob smiled and held Caroline's hand.
"Much easier than ours." He joked. "But it's going to be exciting that our kids will start growing up older at around the same age." Gabby smiled.
"It would be cool." There was another knock on the door and Sharpay waltzed in with Tony. Sharpay wore a dark brown cardigan with a pencil skirt over it. She smiled and rushed over and Tony was scared shitless standing at the door frame. Robert, Ethan, and Gabe shared glances then stared Tony down. Troy noticed this then chuckled.
"Hey you guys want to catch some football?" Troy asked as they all got up and walked over to the living room leaving Tony by himself.
"Why's that asshole here." Rob whispered in Gabby's ear and she shot him a look.
"Behave." She said seriously as he stood up leaving the women to talk...and Tony.
"I can't believe that you two are pregnant." Sharpay started off sitting at the table taking a beer with her. "Me and you Amy have to get pregnant soon then." Amy choked on a chip she was eating.
"No I'm fine." She said softly. Gabby shot Sharpay a glare and Sharpay was taken aback by the look she just received.
"So are you staying long or going to the other parent's house." Sharpay shook her head touching her best friend's baby bump that was slightly bigger.
"I wanted to drop by and say Happy Thanksgiving and get out of your hair." Gabby smiled once Sharpay rested her hand on the spot where she felt that her baby was.
"Wow." They both said as they both shared a bond together. Gabby blinked a couple of times and looked up as Amy and Caroline were sharing pictures. Sharpay began to blink tears looking at her best friend that was carrying a baby.
They sat there as life went on without them as Sharpay's hand remained on her stomach and Gabby's hand on hers. Everyone else left them alone and went on with their business.
"Well..." Sharpay said standing up. "We should get going babe." He nodded and stood up as they all said their goodbyes. As soon as they left, her phone rang and she walked over to it seeing her mother's face on the caller id.
"Hi ma." Gabby said somewhat happy.
"Happy thanksgiving my dear!" She announced happily. Gabby rolled her eyes.
"You too. How are things down there?" She asked hoping Charlie would steal the phone away.
"We're doing perfectly fine. I was just calling to mention, that I bought you and Troy tickets to fly down a few days before Christmas to stay with us." Gabby smiled. She loved her moms free air fare.
"Okay. Well, I have to go, it's time to eat. Bye." Gabby hung up quickly after her lie. She looked over to her whole family having a good time. She smiled.
Rubbing her belly while sitting on the couch with Troy beginning to fall asleep. She sighed watching the clock strike twelve and flipping the channels watching the black Friday coverage begin for some places. His head rested on her shoulder comfortably as she heard a quiet snore. She sat there wondering how her parents would take it considering that she wasn't planning on telling them until they landed in New Mexico.
She knew that the Bolton's were already excited to know that she was expecting winning their approval, but her family? Might as well call it a tragedy. She sat there staring at the TV, then hearing her boyfriend's soft breaths.
How were they going to react? So she sat there the whole night...Worrying.
Terrible ending, I'm sorry but I couldn't wrap it up. I'm serious. :( Lol. Anyway review (:
