Getting home from Christmas, it was simple and cute. The sixteenth week had passed swiftly as she and Troy were ready to find the sex out. She was beginning to get the aches and pains of the pregnancy and she gained 5 more pounds. She was pleasant with the whole weight, being that her baby was the main concern and it wasn't added weight on her face. She was ecstatic.

Being awoken by her cell phone ringing, no Troy by her side and an urge to throw up, the late four month pregnant Gabby was frustrated. Grabbing her phone and seeing Sharpay's perky face plastered on it, she hit reject and threw it to the side. Sitting up and sighing, she ran a hand through her hair then dropping it to her baby. She smoothed out the wrinkles in her shirt as her hand greeted the baby. Smiling as she felt her connection to the child grow every day. Walking over to her mirror, she looked shocked. Speaking of growing, her bump was starting to grow just a bit bigger every day. She smiled as she walked over to the bathroom.

Troy walked out of his kitchen and wandered to the bedroom looking for his beautiful fiancé' Seeing her not in the bed, and the bathroom shut, he figured it was about time for her to awake. Crawling back in bed, he smiled looking at the ultrasound picture hanging above the head board. He couldn't wait for the baby to come. Let alone to figure out the gender. He didn't care if this all was coming way too fast, he loves Gabriella, and she loves him. It's right.

"Junior here needs to leave like as soon as possible." She said annoyed as she walked back into the room lying next to him in bed. He wrapped his arms around her tight as she giggled fighting to get air. "TROY!" She screamed as she laughed releasing the grip but still holding her.

"Morning babe." He said chuckling as he kissed her. "You ready to find the gender out?" He said excited. She nodded as he released her and she got up getting dressed. They were going to be late for their appointment. Her phone rang again. This time she picked it up.

"Sharpay, I'm going to the doctors, what do you need?" She said feeling a pang of hunger hit her. She hasn't eaten in many hours and she was starving. She aimlessly walked to the kitchen.

"Tony left the house today." Sharpay said quietly. Gabby stopped and felt terrible.

"Why did he leave?" It was silent on the other line.

"He went on a business trip." She said sighing. Gabby furious hung up and opened the fridge.

"Babe, we have to leave soon." He shouted. She groaned grabbing a banana and ran out the door with him.

"Alright. The moment of truth." The doctor announced as she placed the ultrasound on, and they waited as the doctor searched the baby. She giggled and Gabby smiled.

"There it is. There's the little guys penis." Gabby laughed at the way the doctor acted little. Gabby smiled as they looked at the picture.

"Yay!" Gabby squealed and Troy smiled. They were both glad that they got the gender they've always wanted.

The seventeenth week, she grew even more as the pain was classified on her side as round ligament pain. She didn't really care as long as she and the baby were fine. She recently bought a breast pump and messed around with it with Troy causing a commotion. She was more excited than anything to have her baby boy. But Troy felt left out even though he was always with her through the whole thing. So she had him make the memory book that she loved. As he took her pictures weekly of her stomach, and journaling everything down, it became the Daddy Memory Book. Not hers… but his.

He wrote little notes at night as she slept.

Dear baby boy,

Right now you and mommy are sleeping. Today we decorate your room but still haven't decided what to call you. I personally want a Liam, but mommy wants to call you Brandon. I like Brandon though. It would be weird both ways to call you Lee, or Bran. But I like Bran. Well. Good night little one, and Daddy loves you.

The eighteenth week also came by fast and she was getting crazily bigger. To them, this was coming way too fast as they welcomed the January weather in New York. Already getting snowed in and having many delays, doctor appointments were hectic. This was also a notable moment for her as her and her little boy began their little routine.

"I swear to god he does it Troy." She said chasing him around the house as he was really late for work. "I press softly into his elbow; he hits back and then poof. We do it all the time." Troy chuckled kissing her.

"I will be home later." She sighed.

"It does happen!"

Finally, the nineteenth week brought promise; the connection grew with her baby, along with the weight. She was getting bigger and bigger and was also feeling the swelling in her feet by now. But this week also brought the fighting of the baby name over their boy.

They were casually relaxing on the couch where her feet were propped up on his legs and she was relaxed eating chocolate. Troy was drinking beer and watching a basketball game as she writing out the names.

"I still want Brandon." She said yawning getting ready for a nap. Troy groaned.

"Liam." He said firmly.

"Brandon." She said again drifting off.

"Brandon." He said.

"Liam." She said closing her eyes. He looked over to her with a smirk on his face waiting for her to react. Just then her eyes fluttered open and she struggled to sit up. "No, Brandon!" She shouted as he began to laugh. Her angry face turned to a giggly one. The phone rang and Troy stood up answering it. She snuggled more closely into the couch turning a movie on.

"Gabby, Caroline's having the baby." Gabby was alert now, she stood up and smiled slipping her boots on.

"Do you want me to come with babe?" He asked. She walked over and kissed him.

"Yeah, later if you want. I'll be right back." She smiled grabbing her heavy coat and grabbing the keys.

"Be careful. There might be some black ice." He shouted to her as she left. Turning the heat on, she was all giddy that her sister in law was going to have the baby. It felt like forever since they tried getting pregnant, and it was too. She was marked unfertile and it was devastating.

She started the car pulling her phone out dialing her brother. She pulled out of the parking spot and drove off until she heard his voice.

"Gabby! She's in labor!' Robert exclaimed out of breath. Gabby giggled driving over black ice where her car skidded slightly. She hit the brakes and freaked out. "Are you okay!" He questioned. She took a deep breath.

"Drove over black ice. Sorry." She said trying to get her breath.

"Oh god." He said excited. "I'm going to be a Daddy." He said excited. She smirked.

"I know you are." She paused getting caught by a stop light. "How is she?" She wondered. There was a pause on the other line.

"She's doing fine. She's getting closer. She just started the birth quickly."He chuckled nervously. Gabby giggled pulling up closer to the hospital.

"Good." She breathed. "Where's the room?" She asked him grabbing a parking ticket, then proceeding to leave the parking lot for the hospital.

Caroline was getting ready to push as Gabby grabbed her hand, while Rob had her other hand. Her parents were on their way home from a party, but they were going to be a little late. Caroline was having an easy going labor. Her contractions aligned perfectly and she was not in any terrible pain.

"Thank you for being here." She said turning to Gabby. She nodded as the doctor instructed her to push. As she did so, Gabby's hand went numb due to the force from Caroline. Rob looked up to Gabby too in pain as Gabby cracked a smile. As the contraction simmered, The two grabbed their hands and pulled back. They both laughed. This time she grabbed Rob's shirt and pulled him in closer as she pushed again. Gabby offered her hand, but she took it out on Rob.

"Alright, almost there." The doctor announced. She nodded relaxing before they had to do any dramatic baby removing. She looked over to the couple as she had her head thrown back with Rob stroking her forehead. He pressed a kiss to it as she looked at her phone real quick. Troy hasn't picked up still and she groaned.

"Alright, let's push." The doctor announced as they prepared themselves. Gabby figured one more push and their baby Sophia would be born. And the wish came true. One last push and the baby was delivered. She had a full thick head of curly hair. She was quickly taken to be washed up and cared for. Caroline began to cry and Rob took care of her as Gabby wandered over to the baby as she was being cleaned. She took a picture and smiled.

Rob then quickly hurried over to the two and he smiled.

"My two little girls." He cracked a half smiled and she was brought to tears.

"She's beautiful." Gabby said softly hugging him. He hugged back looking at his baby girl. The nurse handed him over and he smiled holding his little bundle of joy. Her little body was swindled in a pink blanket and she was smiling. He walked over and gave the baby to Caroline who fell completely in love with her little girl. After a few moments, she gave Gabby Sophia and she smiled holding her.

"You two are going to be best friends." Caroline said as Gabby giggled. She then felt her little boy kick her in the stomach. She completely forgot for a moment that she was pregnant herself.

"Junior's kicking in here ever since I started holding her." Gabby grinned to them. They smiled.

"Junior?" Gabby nodded. She stared down into the baby as she relaxed carefully holding her.

"You are too beautiful." Gabby smiled when they all heard a door open. She looked up with a huge smile on her face seeing Chad Danforth standing in the door way. Her smile began to fade and her heartbeat quickened up.

"Chad, what are you doing here?" She asked with a small smile on her face. She handed the baby over to her parents as they both looked afraid.

"It's Troy." He said. She gulped and excused herself from the family and other doctors as she left the room, heart beating crazily, as she walked with Chad.

"What happened?" She asked in a calm demeanor. Her hand fell to her stomach as they walked with a quickened pace to the emergency room. She felt like throwing up and she was dizzy, but she continued on anyway.

"There was a car accident." Chad said choppy. Gabby took a quick intake of breath as she stopped walking, resting her hands on the counter.

"Stop." She called to him. Chad stopped and turned around running over to her.

"Are you alright?" He asked softening up. She nodded.

"I'm just pregnant and been on my feet for hours straight." She sighed holding the tears down. They began to walk quickly again as she studied her fiancé's best friend's haggard face. He looked devastated and it worried her even more. But she kept her cool, as much as she didn't want to. Once they reached the emergency room, she felt nervous energy hit her.

"Hi, my friend Troy Bolton was administered." Chad said professionally and Gabby stood next to him rubbing her belly. The receptionist typed in information as Gabby stood there impatiently. She was getting more and more freaked out.

"He was just administered in the Trauma Unit." With that Gabby's eyes filled with tears and she sobbed shortly. Chad wrapped his strong arm around her and held her closer into him. She tried to muster up the courage to stop. "Here, I will direct you." She stood up and walked over with them to the waiting section of the Trauma unit. "I will make sure a doctor comes and talks to you guys." Chad thanked her as Gabby sat there trying to gain her composure.

"You can cry. It's alright." He said rubbing her back. She let out a muffled laugh.

"No. I can't cry." She said wiping her eyes. He nodded as she looked straight ahead. "He's going to be alright." She said assuring herself. A couple doctors walked by until one stopped by them. The two stood up. She grabbed Chad's hand.

"I'm Doctor Anderson. I'm working with Mr. Bolton on his injury. When he was brought in, we found that his spleen was ruptured along with a couple broken ribs and a gashed thigh. The doctors are currently working on repairing it but have to do a blood transfusion. He also has internal bleeding that we are also working on." Gabby nodded closing her eyes. "As for right now, he's doing fairly okay, but there is always the chance. The severities of the accident are great, and for him, he is pretty banged up." They nodded. "We will keep you up to date."

"Thank you." Gabby whispered as she sat down with Chad again. He pulled his phone out and dialed his parents as she sat there. She leaned over in her chair resting her elbows on the edge of her knees as she grabbed her hands together resting her head on the temple and the thumbs on her hand. "Please don't take him today." She said with tears welling up in her eyes again. "Don't take him." She repeated as Chad stared at her and talked to his parents.

They waited in the room for two hours. She sat there starring at the clock for two hours straight. Sharpay was sleeping next to her as Gabby was wrapped in a blanket. Rob was also downstairs with her after Chad went to get him shortly after Sharpay arrived. She sat there and finally broke her lock with the clock and looked down to her hand resting on her stomach and the ring on her finger. Sharpay shifted slightly and woke up, blinking the sleep from her eyes.

"Gabby." She looked over to her speak.

"What." She said calmly. Chad looked over as well and stared at her.

"Let's go get you something to eat. The baby needs it." Sharpay said standing up and stepping in front of her reaching for her hand. Gabby looked at her.

"I'm not getting up until the surgery is done." She fought as everyone looked at her. She was tired, she was worried, and sure as hell her baby didn't need it. Rob stood up as he told Sharpay to sit down.

"Get up." He commanded. She looked at him and sighed standing up defeated. Chad looked at him shocked as he sighed, playing with his phone in his hand. Rob smiled as he placed his arm around her shoulder as they walked around. "You know he's going to be alright." He spoke. She nodded.

"I know it's just I don't want to see him lying there hurt." She said honestly. They wandered into an elevator as he pressed the button to the floor. She looked down at her stomach. "And the only thing that scares me the most is that our little baby might not have a dad..." She said with tears welling up in her eyes. "I mean, I love him. I do." She said honestly. She sobbed quietly. He pulled her into a hug as the floor they reached was the baby nursery. She couldn't stop crying, but was settling down once they walked up to the window.

"There she is." He pointed at the baby girl squirming in the little bed. Gabby sucked in her breath and smiled through her tears seeing all the life around her. Then it hit her.

"He's dead." She said nodding her head with more tears.

"No he's not." He said at her wondering why she thought this.

"It's obviously a sign. One door opens, another one closes." She said starring at Sophia. "Sophia is born, Troy dies." She said sobbing and holding onto Rob tightly. To him it made clear sense, but he doubted Troy was going to die.

"Alright, calm down." She nodded in the hug as he began to walk with her. "Let's go back and check on him." She nodded as they retraced their footsteps and walked in the elevator. She reclined against the wall closing her eyes and silently praying. She wiped her tears when she felt a little kick from her little boy in her stomach. She smiled pressing her finger into the top of her stomach feeling a jab from his elbow or something. He was telling her, "its okay mommy."

They walked back to the hallway where she saw Sharpay sitting in the chair crying and Chad had his back turned on the phone. She sucked in all her breath again walking up knowing he was dead.

"He's dead." She told herself. "Get ready for it."
