A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

A few weeks went by and Gabriella stayed sick. She had a good idea she knew why but she wasn't sure if she wanted to know. Yet she knew she had to find out. On her way home from work one day she stopped by the doctor's office.

"Mommy what are we doing here?" Ashley asked.

"We are going to find out what is wrong with me and why I'm feeling so sick just don't tell daddy we came here ok?"

"Ok mommy."

They went inside and Gabriella signed in. Just then Lucille walked out and saw Gabriella.

"What are you doing here?"

"Nothing just a check up." She lied quickly.

"Gabriella I know you've been feeling sick."

Gabriella looked down and muttered "I'm getting a pregnancy test." Lucille heard and gasped.

"Are you sure honey?"

"All the signs are there I just need to know before I tell Troy."

"Well I was just on my way home why don't I take Ashley for you."

"You don't have to do that. You could just sit in here with her…if you don't mind,"

"Sure sweetie."

Gabriella's name was called and she went back.

"Nana Lucille is Mommy going to be ok?" Ashley asked.

"She's going to be just fine…I hope." Lucille said.

Gabriella had gotten her blood taken and was waiting for the doctor to tell her what they said. She really wished she had called Troy because now she was scared and alone the worst feelings in the world. Finally her doctor walked in.

"Well?"

"I'm sorry. You aren't pregnant."

"But all the signs were there."

"You just had a little cold. I'm sorry but there is no baby."

"Will there ever be a baby?"

"Well that's the good news. Your numbers have gone up. If by some miracle you do get pregnant you should be able to carry to term but of course you'd have to be on bed rest for 9 months until the baby is born but that's a big if Gabriella. There is still no way you could get pregnant I'm sorry."

"Me 2."

Gabriella got off the table and left the room. She went back out to the waiting room.

"Mommy are you ok?" Ashley asked.

"Mommy's fine. I just had a little cold."

Lucille looked down. She knew Gabriella was hurting. Gabriella paid for her visit and headed home. Once she went inside she sent Ashley to her room and locked herself in the bathroom. Then she broke out into tears. She had gotten her hopes up and they were just crushed into a million pieces. It was then she realized how quiet it was. Troy normally got home before she did so why wasn't he here? Just then there was a knock at the door. She looked through the hole and saw Carlos. She and Troy had called him a few weeks ago and they hadn't heard from him since…until now.

"I know you're in there Gabriella."

"Go away Carlos. I told you I never wanted to see you again."

"It's about Troy."

"What about him?"

"You have to let me in first."

Gabriella grabbed her cell and called Troy. He didn't answer. She sent him and text and he didn't respond, Something was wrong. She didn't have a choice. She opened the door and let Carlos in.

"Now what happen to Troy?"

Before Carlos could answer Ashley screamed on top of her lungs.

"ASHELY!" Gabriella went to run upstairs but Carlos held her back. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING LET ME GO!"

"Just watch it's all part of my master plan."

Just then someone came downstairs carrying Ashley and she gasped at who it was.

"You've been working with him this whole time haven't you?" Gabriella asked.

"Yep." Carlos smirked.

Ashley screamed and cried wiggling to get lose from her father's hands.

"Let her go!"

"Not a chance." Her father laughed.

"Screaming will call attention to this house. Let me hold her and I can make her stop."

"Fine."

Ashley was set on the ground and she ran over to Gabriella. Gabriella picked her up and held her close.

"Mommy's got you baby it's ok shhh. What do you want with us?"

"I want what I've always wanted and that's my human punching bag."

"You're a monster."

"Thanks."

"Take me. Take me leave Ashley."

"Now what fun is that. Now we can make this very painless all you have to do is follow us to the car and no one gets hurts. If you or that little brat make a sound well…."

Mike (Ashley's father) pulled out a gun.

"Were not going to say anything." Gabriella put her hand over Ashley's face gently pushing it into her should to keep Ashley was having to seeing anything. Ashley clung to her and whimpered.

"Good now throw your cell phone on the couch." Carlos said.

Gabriella did as they said. They she followed them into the back of their car. She was push roughly into car and the doors were slammed shut.

"Mommy." Ashley whimpered.

Gabriella pulled her back into her arms. "It's ok sweetie. I'm not going to let him hurt you I promise."

"I want daddy."

"I want daddy too sweetie he's going to find us I promise."

"How?"

Gabriella whispered in Ashley's ear "I left him a text message saying Carlos took us." Ashley nodded and cuddled into her mother. Gabriella held Ashley tighter. Out of all the times she's been kidnapped this was worst because she had another life to worry about other than her own.

Troy had finally arrived home.

"Gabriella you home?" he called out.

No answer

"Gabriella! Baby are you home?"

He took out his cell to call her when he saw he had a missed call and a text message from her. He had been in the shower and missed them. He checked the text message.

Troy Carlos is at the house if you get home and I'm not there it meant he took me. Ashley too. I'm going to protect our daughter Troy I promise just please come find me.

Troy felt sick. He called the cops telling them everything. Then he called his parents. Gabriella was missing.

Gabriella was still in the back of the truck Ashley had fallen asleep thankfully and finally the car stopped. Carlos and Mike got out and opened the back door. "Put this on and put one on the brat too." Mike said handing them a blindfold. Gabriella put one on Ashley and then on herself. She was roughly grabbed by the arm and pulled away. Ashley was clutched tightly in the other arm. After walking for a few minutes Gabriella heard the sound of a door open and close then she was thrown roughly against the wall.

"You can take off the blind fold now."

Gabriella took hers off and did the same to Ashley's. She looked around and noticed they were in some kind of old abandon house.

"Where are we?" Gabriella asked. Something about this place seemed familiar but she couldn't figure out how.

"You don't remember this place Gabriella?" Carlos asked.

"Should I?"

"It's your home."

Gabriella gasped. They were at her old house. The same house she grew up in for sixteen years. The same house her father abused her in, the same house that held terrible memories.

"No! Let me out of here now."

"Nope."

She was grabbed by the arm again and dragged upstairs. Gabriella struggled she knew where Carlos was taking her. It was the place that held the most memories…her bedroom. Her father used to pin her down to her bedroom and beat her to a bloody pulp. Carlos tossed her into the room and slammed the door locking it. Gabriella knew her room had the door that locked from the outside which meant…she was trapped. For a few hours she was alone her stomach started growl as did Ashley's she finally stirred and opened her eyes.

"Mommy I'm hungry."

"Me too sweetie. Hopefully we can eat soon."

Just then Carlos and Mike walked in.

"Getting hungry I bet huh?" Mike asked.

"Yes."

"Well too bad. Naughty children don't get food."

"Fine for me. Don't starve Ashley please she is still young she needs food please feed her please."

"Nope none of you get food."

Carlos and Mike left.

"Mommy I'm not naughty."

"No you're not baby and I'll get you food I promise."

Gabriella went over to her closet and dug under some old close until she reached a mini fridge she had kept that there for times when he didn't allow her to eat. She looked through what was there of course everything was expired. All she had in there was still good was water. "I'm sorry baby all we have in water."

She gave Ashley the water bottle. The she saw a small bag of crackers by her bed. She went over and grabbed them. She was sure they were bad too but they were better than something with rotten milk in it. As he picked up the bag she was hit with a flashback.

Flashback

Gabriella was laying on her bed being whipped over and over by her father's belt each time like a knife stabbing her skin.

"DADDY STOP PLEASE! PLEASE DADDY STOP I'M SORRY!" Gabriella screamed.

"YOU STOLE THSE CRACKERS I TOLD YOU, YOU COULD NOT EAT BUT YOU DIDN'T LISTEN NOW YOU HAVE TO BE PUNISHE!"

"I'M SORRY! I WAS HUNGRY I'M SORRY!"

"SAVE IT FOR SOMEONE WHO CARE AND WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT TALKING"

Greg whipped the belt against her mouth and Gabriella burst into tears too scared to ever speak again.

Just then the police barged in grabbed Greg and arresting him. A cop went over to Gabriella.

"Come on let's get you out of here."

Gabriella scrambled back too scared of speaking or listening to her.

"Don't worry you can trust me."

Gabriella trusted the cop and the next thing she knew she was alone in a jail cell while other men made rude comments and wolf whistled at her. That was the day she lost all trust in the cops or anyone for that matter.

End flashback

Gabriella shook her head as tears filled her eyes. She had to be brave and stay strong for her daughter She brought the food over to Ashley.

"They aren't very yummy but they are all we have."

Ashley took the bag and ate a few. After she ate she felt better. She cuddled back into her mom and fell asleep. Gabriella hid the crackers from sight knowing that could be the only food they got for a long time. Once Ashley was sleeping Gabriella started cry. She hated this room it brought back so many awful memoires that she had tried so hard to forget.

"Troy please help me." She cried.

Back with Troy he was at home crying his wife was in danger and even little Ashley was gone. His whole life gone and there wasn't anything he could do to stop it.

"I'm going to find you Gabriella I promise." He said.
