2 – The game that changed everything:

1st September 2009

Gabriella stood watching Troy practise for his basketball game this weekend. Her phone rang and she fumbled to pull it out of her pocket. She sighed as she looked at the contact number, her doctor. She signalled to Troy that she was heading out, and she pressed answer.

"Hello Miss Montez," The Doctor greeted.

"Hi," She responded nervously.

"Miss Montez, we have your test results back in and we can confirm that you are indeed pregnant. Congratulations have a good day."

Gabriella stood in shock, but before she could respond the doctor ended the phone call. Gabriella shoved her phone back into her pocket. She tried to remain motionless, as the team, who had finished training, were now filing out of the building.

Troy walked out with Chad, and he scanned the area for his girlfriend. He saw her sat alone on the bench and he immediately realised something wasn't right. "I'll talk to you later man," Troy said to Chad as he rushed over to Gabriella.

Her eyes found Troy's as he rushed over. "Brie, sweetheart, are you okay?" he asked as she stood up and ran into his arms.

"Couldn't be better," She lied as Troy dropped a kiss to the top of her head.

He shrugged it off, and walked with her to Chad's car. Sitting with her tightly within his embrace in the back of the car, Troy defiantly knew something wasn't right.

Once arriving at their apartment Gabriella rushed off to the bathroom to empty the contents of her stomach. Troy dropped all his belongings and followed her to hold back her hair. Once she had finished Gabriella dropped back and leant against the wall. She looked at Troy pleadingly.

"Oh Baby girl, you really don't look well." He slipped his arms under her legs and around her back, and he swiftly lifted her off the ground and carried her to the bed then placed her beneath the covers. "You stay and rest; I'll make you some food."

Gabriella went to protest but Troy had already left the room. She had just closed her eyes when he returned with a plateful of scrambled eggs, she sat up and he placed them in front of her. Gabi took a small breath, but she quickly threw the covers off and dashed off towards the bathroom.

She emerged 5 minutes later as she crawled back into bed. Troy had taken the food away and he climbed in beside Gabi. He pulled her body close and gently scratched at her back. "You're going to a doctor tomorrow morning Brie. But first you need to sleep." Gabi snuggled up close to Troy and fell into a deep sleep.

It was a little after 2 in the morning when Gabi awoke screaming and shaking with fear. "TROY NO, TROY COME BACK, DON'T LEAVE ME. TROY PLEASE!" she screamed.

He bolted upright in bed and he gently shook Gabi awake. She opened her eyes and looked at him in fear. "Hey, hey," he soothed as he took her into his arms. "I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere baby girl. I promise." He kissed her forehead gently and let her calm down. "What's going on?" he questioned her after a while, with a worried look in his eyes. She shook him off and turned around so he couldn't see the tears forming in her eyes.

The next morning Troy was as worried as ever, after Gabi turned around he couldn't go back to sleep; he was in deep thought trying to figure out what was up with his girl. His efforts all night had brought up no conclusion and as he watched her throw the last of her stomach contents up, he began to pack a bag so he could be ready for whatever the doctor told them this morning. Gabi walked back into the bedroom and quizzed him on why he had prepared a bag. "I have a feeling something is very wrong Ella and I want to be prepared!" Troy tried to her but she was not having any of it.

"No, there is no need. I'm fine, it's just a bug." She protested. "I just need to sleep it off." She pushed passed him, trying to get to the bed, when his arms slipped around her waist pulling her to him.

"Brie, you either tell me what's going on, or we go see a doctor."

She sighed. "Doctor," she mumbled quietly and he kissed her head. She slipped on her Uggs and Troy picked up his keys. Her hand slipped into his as they left the building and headed to Troy's car.

No words were exchanged during the journey and as Troy pulled up at the surgery Gabriella turned to look at him with pleading eyes. "Please don't" she told him quietly. He leant across and laced their hands together before he brought her hand to his lips to kiss it delicately.

"Gabi, we have to; you really don't look well." Troy forced as he pulled her out the car and dragged her into the office. As he went over to the desk Gabi looked around helplessly and found a seat next to the pregnancy poster hoping it would hint to him and she would be able to go home. Soon after Troy returned and completely dismissed her choice seat. As he looked at her, the sense of nervousness shone through – "Brie, don't be nervous I just want to make sure that you're ok." Gabi nodded as her name was being called out by the young nurse.

They both got up and got half way towards the door that leads down the hallway, when Gabi turned to Troy and asked "Would you mind if I went in by myself? I promise that I'll tell them to get you if it is something urgent." Troy opened his mouth to protest but Gabi had already walked through the door and turn around to mouth sorry to the man she had just left on his own.
