Chapter 34- Wedding Dress Shopping with an accident
"Morning Brie" Troy said rolling over, I sighed and looked at him.
"Morning" I grumbled, I laid flat on my back, my head pounding. I already had a headache, I groaned and I felt Troy roll over and I opened my eyes to see him on top of me.
"You ok?" He asked
"I didn't sleep last night," I mumbled
"Why?" He asked
I pointed towards the baby for his mouth to form an o, "I see" He mumbled, I nodded my head and I looked at Troy.
"You are leaving today," I mumbled
"Come on, look at the bright side"
"What bright side?" I asked, I pushed Troy off me and I sat up.
"You get to go wedding dress shopping with Taylor" He said, I shook my head and then looked back at him.
"Ohh, so much fun!" I groaned
"What do you mean?" He asked me, I looked over at him and slipped on a pair of jeans.
"Just like it sounds, its going to be a long day of walking, letting Taylor look beautiful while I support this whale" I said, I saw Troy sigh and then he walked over to me.
"You aren't doing well today huh?" He asked
"No" I said, I walked into my closet and I grabbed a Laker t-shirt and I slipped it over my bump.
"All of your t-shirts fit still?" He asked
I shot him a look, "No! This is a large! A large!" I cried, he shook his head and slipped on a pair of sweat pants. I shook my head at him.
"You have no idea how frustrating that is!" I said
"I know, it must be horrible"
"Actually it is," I mumbled
He came up behide me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders. "You still look beyond beautiful," He murmured
"I am glad since you are going to Miami, San Diego…" I said and he sighed in my ear.
"Brie, I didn't mean it…"
"What do you mean you didn't mean it? You sounded like you mean it" I grumbled, I turned around in his arms and I laid my head on his shoulder.
"Briee…I was messing with the guys, I was still pissed at you, and I am a guy" He said, I only shook my head.
"Whatever Troy"
"Please don't be mad," He mumbled
"I am not mad, I just…never mind." I said shaking my head.
"Ok, that's fine" he said, I only nodded and I heard Chad's voice.
"Bolton! Let's go!" Chad yelled, I groaned and I kept my head rested on the same spot.
"You are gonna come to the airport right?" he asked
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
He shook his head, "No reason, but you are gonna need this to get in" He said, "And you are gonna need to still go through security still" He said, he voice calm as he handed me a Laker visitor airport pass.
"Our plane leaves at one," he said, he glanced towards the clock and then back at me, the clock reading 10. "So come around noon, ok?" I nodded my head and then I wrapped my petite arms around him.
"See ya soon," I said, he kissed the top of my head and then kissed my cheek.
"Bye," He said, "Bolton! Come on!" Chad yelled again, I groaned and then laughed.
"Chad is loosing his cool." I said, Troy nodded and then kissed my lips, "bye" he called, I smiled as he retreated out of the room, his Laker duffel bag hanging over his shoulder. I shook my head and then I went to my closet, pulled out a jacket, and slipped it on. I put my Uggs on and I headed downstairs.
"Good Morning Gabs" Taylor said, I looked at her and I walked towards the fridge to grab some milk or something.
"You okay?" She asked
"Yeah, I am fine I just didn't get much sleep last night." I mumbled
"Oh, ok. You still feel like dress shopping?" She asked I looked towards her.
"Of course," I bite my lip and then looked at her "Just for a few hours, ok?" I said, she smiled and nodded.
"Of course Gabs, will do" I nodded and I grabbed some cereal and the milk and poured it into the bowl.
After I ate, it was twenty minutes later and it was 1130.
"Come on Tay, let's go," I said, I grabbed my purse and wove a scarf around my neck.
"Alright Gabs, lets go" She said, I nodded and we both walked out to her car, we both got in and she started her car. We drove to LAX and found the Laker bus, we parked right by it and we got on one of the buses.
"How ya feeling Gab?" She asked
I shook my head "I am feeling fine" I said, I rubbed my stomach and I looked out ahead to see the LAX building coming into view. I sighed and leaned back, "It will all be okay" She said, I looked up and then turned around.
"The weekend ones aren't bad to say good-bye, these are hard," I said, my throat tightening with each word.
"Yeah, I understand Gabi, these two weeks will be hard, but we will get through it since we have a lot to do with the wedding." She said I smiled.
"Now does your person who is doing your dresses understand mine will be in after I have the baby?" I asked
She nodded her head, "Yup, she said as soon as it comes in she will do that one." She said, I nodded and then I rubbed my stomach again.
When the shuttle stopped Taylor and I both got off, I looked at my watch to see it was a little past twelve. I looked at my pass, gate 21. I pointed towards the area and we headed towards the area as fast as we could, I could see the swarm of paps around them already. I groaned and I sneakily past them and we got in the security line. I took my shoes off; I put everything in the trays, my belt and everything. Matt was standing in front of me.
"Matt" I whispered, he turned around and smiled at me.
"Gabi!" He said, I smiled and looked at him, "Your boy has been worried sick about…already" He said, I laughed and then we both walked forward.
"Go figure but now I am here," I said
"He will be glad"
I nodded my head, once he got through it was my turn, they looked at my pass and let me walk through, I got all of my stuff and I entered the area, with Taylor behide me.
I looked around the room, searching for him; I saw Chad's bushy hair from the corner. I pointed him out to Taylor who only rolled her eyes and walked over to him.
"Missed you"
I jumped and turned around to see Troy standing there, I threw my arms around him.
"I was only gone for about an hour," I mumbled
"Knowing that I won't see you for two weeks, it's hard," he said
I nodded my head, "Understandable" I said
He nodded and then led me over towards the seating area. We talked about hundred things sitting there; his thumb stroked my stomach the entire time. His big rough hands rubbed my stomach, he laughed in my ear.
"You think the baby will have blue eyes?" He said with a raised eyebrow
"Of course! Why wouldn't it?" I asked
"Because your gorgeous brown ones should be the one on its face," He said, I rolled my eyes.
"No, it shouldn't" I said
"Yeah, it should"
I laughed and kissed the bottom of his chin, "I at least want it to have your smile," He said
"I want it to be just like you," I said
"Good luck with that" He said with a wink, I smiled and I sat up and leaned against him.
"Alright, Lakers! Let's go!" The couch called, I heard Troy sigh.
We both stood up and he wrapped his arms around me, "See you in two weeks," He murmured in my ear
I sighed and I took a deep breath to stop of tears, "Yeah, see ya in two weeks"
"I will call you when we land ok?" He said, he rubbed my back and he kissed my temple.
"I love you Brie"
"I love you too Troy, I love you too"
"Gabi, what do you think of this one?" Taylor said walking out of the room in the fifth dress today; this one was my least favorite.
"No, I don't like that look on you" I said
"What?" She asked
I sighed and then looked up, "I don't like the red beading around the top, then it stops and then it goes around the waist, I don't like it" I said, she only nodded and slipped back in the dressing room. I closed my eyes, exhausted. Not sleeping last night, then Troy leaving earlier today, which by the way he has not called me.
"Do you have any better ideas Gabi?" She yelled from the room
"Yeah, another store" I mumbled, she laughed and then walked out.
"I was thinking the same, come on let's get out of here and go down to Alfred Angelo" She said, I nodded my head. Excited. I loved this store; I thought it was always amazing, beautiful.
"Yay! I love this store, I remember when I was a kid, and I would sit on my computer and look at every single dress. I would play with them and have so much fun" I said my eyes dreamy.
"My mom is going to meet us there" I smiled and we got into the car, my phone then went off. I quickly pulled it out of my purse and I saw it was Troy.
"Hi" I breathed into the phone; I heard his sigh of relief on the other end.
"Hey baby," He said, I smiled and then leaned back in my seat.
"Hey! What are you up too?"
"Just wedding dress shopping," I told him, I fiddled with the end of my dress.
"Chad wants to know how sexy Taylor is going to look"
I rolled my eyes "First we have to find a dress, we are headed to Alfred Angelo" I said a huge smile purred onto my face.
"Damn, I am seriously going to lose some money, aren't I?" He said, I laughed and then we pulled up to it, I saw Taylor's mom.
"Maybe, maybe I will find a dress" I said, I winked at nobody.
"Yeah, so have you found a bridesmaid dress yet?" He asked I frowned that he shrugged off the marriage card, but I shook it off.
"Um, nope but I will keep you updated ok?"
"Yeah, anyways, I gotta go" He said, I only shook my head and got out of the car, "Alright, bye" I said, I snapped my phone shut as I watched Taylor and her mom walk inside, I shook my head and I walked forward into the store.
"Hey, Gabi you okay? You look upset," Taylor, said, I turned to look at her.
"Nothing, Troy asked what we were doing and I said wedding dress shopping and maybe I would find one for me. He totally changed the conversation and said he had to go in less than thirty seconds," I told them. I looked down at the ground towards my feet.
"Am I wasting my time with him?" I asked, tears bubbling in my eyes, Taylor and Anna both pulled me into a hug.
"Gabi, that boy loves you and he will marry you one day, I promise"
"But when! We have been dating forever and we are about to have a kid" I said, I went and sat down both of them sitting down next to me.
"Maybe he wants to wait until the perfect moment," Anna said
"Any day with him would be the perfect moment," I said, I wiped a few of my tears away.
They both smiled, "See you wouldn't be able to live without him, give him another year of so and then really confront him about it."
"I don't think I can wait another year" I said, I looked up and really looked at them.
They only both nodded before a worker came out.
"Welcome! Welcome!" He said
"Who would be the bribe to be?" He asked excitedly
Taylor raised her hand and he smiled, "Wonderful, when is the wedding?"
"June 8th" She said, he smiled and then wrote that down
"What colors are we looking at?"
"Umm a soft yellow and maybe a light purple" She said, and then I thought about it.
"Lakers colors!" The person said, I smiled and started laughing.
Taylor blushed and turned to look at us, "I really didn't even think about it! That was random!" She said, I laughed and held my stomach.
"Are you huge Laker fans?" He asked
"Our boyfriends, fiancés, and son play for them," Anna said
His eyes widened, "No way! Now who would your fiancée be?" He asked
She blushed again and then looked back up, "Chad Danforth" she said, and I smiled thinking about my two goof balls.
"So you must be Bolton's girl," He said, I looked up and nodded.
"Well, are you the bridesmaid?" he asked, I again nodded my head.
"When are you due?" He asked
"End of March, Early April" I said
He smiled, "So you will be back to normal size by the wedding?"
"Yes!" I said my voice thankful.
He laughed and then he waved us back, "Come on, I think I know just the dress for the bride and two for the bridesmaid" He said, I smiled and then he took Taylor back into the room. Anna and I sat down in the chairs and I fiddled with my 'T' necklace.
"I remember when Taylor came home gushing how sweet Troy was to you, that he gave you a necklace with his first letter of his name on it." Anna said smiling; I turned to her and smiled.
"Yeah and Troy's best friend has the guts to propose before him and we have been dating way longer"
"You are already like a married couple," She said
"I wish that it would be made official." I said, I sighed and I rubbed my stomach some more.
"Do you have names picked out?" She asked, I nodded my head and I smiled, "But we aren't telling anybody, only Troy and I know." I said
"Bummer, I can't wait," She said, I nodded my head.
"Me either, I really want to meet this little one" I said to her, she nodded and then looked down.
"I remember being pregnant with Taylor still, she was two weeks late, which killed me." She said laughing, my eyes widened.
"Oh hell I am not going three days past my due date!" I told her, she laughed and then we heard Taylor cleared her throat. I turned and my jaw dropped.
"Oh" I started
"My" Anna said
"God" I finished, I got up and I went up to her.
"Taylor this is beautiful!" I cried
"Taylor it is gorgeous!" Her mom said, tears forming in her eyes.
I nodded my head in agreement; she was so beautiful in it.
It was a strapless princess dress, it was all sequined at the top and had a ribbon stripped around her back, which was yellow. It had a white bare section until about half way down where there are more sequins.
"Taylor you have to get it" I said, she nodded and turned to look at the person.
"Max, can we have her see the bridesmaid dress?" She asked, he nodded and then walked behide the thing.
"Taylor I should call Sharpay so we can see it on her…" I mumbled
"Gabi, relax ok? I know you want to try it on, I know you do, but anyways Sharpay is almost here"
I nodded my head; I ducked my head and in walked Sharpay, the ding of the doorbell.
"I am here!" She called; I pulled her over to me.
"Sharpay, now you understand no matter how much you hate the dress, it isn't you opinion. So Like it, got it?" I said she nodded.
"Are you okay Gabi, you look tense?"
"God! I am fine! Why does everybody keep asking me that?" I slightly screamed, she only wrapped her arms around my shoulder and guided me back towards Taylor.
"Shar, can you go put it on? Max is back there waiting, I told him your size," She said, Sharpay nodded and then left and headed back there.
"I was thinking that the guys could get black tuxes with this color which is butter cream and I love it! And I didn't like the purple he had so I switched to this color" She said pointing to it on her dress, I nodded and I wrote this all down on my iPhone.
"Oh! And for my flowers I want this color and like a purple, but we will have to look for those later, we need to do invitations later, ok?" I nodded my head and I wiped my forehead. I started to get a little lightheaded but I shook it off.
"Alright and…"
"Hello! I have been standing here for like a minute and you aren't looking at me!" Sharpay said, we all turned around and I was in aw.
"Taylor, I love it"
"Really Taylor, this is so cute, like I would wear this out!" Sharpay said twirling it around, Taylor smiled and wrapped her arms around me, and I leaned into her, my body growing dizzy. I took a deep breath and started to see the room spin, before I knew it, I saw black.
"Gabi, can you hear us?" I groaned and I opened my eyes a little, I was laying flat on the ground. I looked to see a frantic Sharpay, Taylor, and Anna sitting right next to me.
"Troy?" I spit out, Anna looked relief to see me awake.
"Oh, Gabi! Thank goodness, you are awake! Are you okay?" She said, I tried to sit up but Anna pushed me back down.
"Relax Gabi, the medics are coming" Tear poked my eyes and I shook my head.
"No, I don't want to"
"For the baby" She said
I still shook my head, I did not want to go in an ambulance, and I did not want to go to the hospital.
"Anna, I don't want to" I cried, I then heard the door open.
"Gabi!" Lucille, I closed my eyes and then felt her knell next to me; I looked to see Kyle holding Jenni. I started to cry harder.
"Lucille, I don't wanna," I cried, she only nodded her head and helped me sit up. She had Kyle help me up and they got me into a chair, they broke up the party surrounding us.
"Gabi, are you okay? In addition, tell the truth ok? You I am going to make you go to the hospital" Lucille said in her motherly tone. I nodded my head.
"I am just really tired and with Troy leaving today, and then letting Taylor down by not being able to try on the dress…" I rambled
"Did you sleep last night?" she asked, I shook my head no and somebody handed me water. I looked up and smiled thankfully at Max.
"Thanks" I mumbled
I took a deep breath and I leaned my head back, then I head the medics walk in. I wanted to start balling then, what a day this was. They all backed away and they came through.
Two girls and one guy, "Hi, I am Annabel and you are?" One of them asked, I sniffed up a tear and looked at Lucille who pulled the guy aside.
"Gabriella Montez" I mumbled
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I past out, I didn't get much sleep last night, my boyfriend left this morning for two weeks, and it was kinda hot in here. I have only eaten cereal today too, so there is no reason to go to the hospital" I kept mumbling, she only nodded her head and did all the things she needed to do.
"Alright you sound fine but we would still like you to go to get the baby checked out, to make sure its ok." She said, I only closed my eyes and then leaned back against the window.
"You can't do it here?" I asked
She shook her head no and I started crying, yet again.
"Yeah, but can my friend drive me?" I asked
"Yes, of course. You are physically fine. I just think you are a little tried, haven't eaten in a while and you are doing stuff with the wedding" She said smiling, "I am doing the same myself" she said with a smile, I only nodded and I looked towards Lucille.
"Alright, Danny, Bec we aren't needed here, lets go somewhere else" She said, she winked at me and I gave her a small smile.
"Thank you" I mumbled, she nodded and smiled.
"You are welcome"
I looked up at Taylor and Sharpay, "Guys I am so sorry" I mumbled
"No need to be sorry Gabi, really, we are just happy you are ok"
"They want me to get the baby checked out, make sure it is doing ok" I said, they nodded. They were both back in normal clothes.
"Gabi, you are a size four right?" Sharpay said, I only nodded and then Lucille and Kyle helped me stand up.
"How am I going to tell Troy?" I said aloud, Lucille laughed and I saw Kyle smile.
Once I was on my two feet then they let go, they looked at me until I nodded my head.
"Thanks"
"Taylor, Shar will you go to the hospital with me?" I asked
They both nodded there heads and we all started to head out towards Taylor's car.
"Kyle, will you drive mine home?" Sharpay asked, Kyle nodded and Shar tossed him his keys.
"Alright, let's go." Taylor said
"You and the baby are both fine" Doctor Kelly said, I took a deep breath of relief.
"Thank you so much" I mumbled to her, she smiled.
"Gabi, I think you are just tired and you need some food and water ok? I am not putting you on bed rest, seeing I probably could not stop you but please try to stay in bed for two days, ok? Relax; I realize Troy just left and everything." She said, I nodded and I looked over at Taylor and Shar.
"Again Thank you, I was super worried. I didn't know what to do and I still have to call Troy and…"
"Gabi, relax please" She said, I took a deep breath, "Yes, relax" I said, I sent her a small smile and then looked up.
"Thanks again"
I got up and I stood up with the help of Doctor Kelly.
"Alright, take it easy and have a healthy dinner and call Troy ok?"
"Yeah, I probably will after his game tonight…" I said
"He plays the same day he travels?"
"They flew up to San Diego this morning, they don't play until seven, which is in an hour, he said they got two hours to sleep and then a two hour practice then they play later" I said
She nodded her head, "Probably smart, and gives him a day to think about it"
"Yeah, it does" I said, she nodded and then I walked up to Taylor and Sharpay.
"I will see in you in two weeks for a normal check-up, and I hope to see you better" She said, I nodded and I rubbed my stomach some more.
"Come on lets get you home, ok?" Taylor said, I nodded and then we
"Troy Bolton with another three pointer, he has done extremely well tonight, don't you agree Austin?" John said
"Yeah, he isn't doing half bad from all of the other road games he played, but he really plays his best on his home court."
"Do you think that is because his Girlfriend is there?"
"Who knows but the end of the game is coming very soon, with the score 83-79, Lakers"
Then it cut to commercials, my stomach clenched. I was feeling so much better now that I took a nap and eaten something.
"Are you going to call him right after?" Taylor asked we were all lying over the couch.
I nodded my head, "Yeah, when he is in the locker room or something"
I grabbed my phone sending him a text to call me as soon as he can; I then flipped my phone between my legs. It landed face down, I rubbed my stomach. My mind wondering back and forth between so many different things.
"Are you getting the dress?" I asked
She nodded her head "And I am getting those bridesmaids dresses."
I nodded my head, "Who all wants to go to Chicago to see Troy play?" Jack asked, we all looked up and then I looked down.
"How are you getting there?" Taylor asked
Jack sighed "Car" He said
I looked up smiling, "Then I am most defiantly in" I said, my eyes lighting up.
"You can't tell him Gabi"
"Like I would tell him" I said
He gave me a look and then he did some more on his laptop.
"Since we are driving we have to leave Sunday sometime, early. It takes about 17 hours to get there, and since he plays on Tuesday we will spend Monday with him when he gets in, so we need to be there by Monday morning and we can meet him at the airport" He said, I nodded and realized I was seeing Troy in 5 days, that quick. We were leaving in four, wow.
"I guess I need to get packing or something" I said
"Yup, and you will be resting the entire time too" Jack said with a wink, I glared at him and then I turned to everybody.
"Jack, Lucille, Gabi, Taylor, Jenni, and Kyle are all going?" Sharpay asked
"Jenni and I are flying" Kyle said, Jack looked at them for a second before nodding.
"So could Zeke and I go?" Sharpay asked, Jack nodded and then typed something else.
"We will get a rental car, a big passage van?" Jack asked I smiled remembering the memories for our senior school trip.
"Ahh the memories" Sharpay said, we all started laugh, Jenni, Kyle, Lucille, and Jack all clueless.
"Nothing" I said laughing
I watched as the game ended and I tossed my feet onto the floor and I grabbed my phone, I walked into the kitchen and grabbed an apple.
"I'll be upstairs, ok?" I called, I got a few oks back and I headed upstairs.
When I got to my room I grabbed a duffle bag but my phone started ringing, my stomach clenched with fear and I picked it up.
"Hi!" I said into the phone
"Hey, how did I play?" He asked
"Like I even watched!" I joked, I heard him suck in a breath, and "Damn right that was mean" He said
"I was kidding, you played great"
"Good, how was your day?" He asked this was now or never. I took a deep breath and looked up towards the ceiling.
"Gabi?"
"It was good expected…"
"Except?" He asked
"" I spit out, it all tumbled out of my voice. I did not hear anything back from Troy right away, which scared me.
"Huh?" He asked, I groaned and I lay back on the bed.
"I said…" I took a deep breath "when I passed out in the wedding dress…" That all I had to say
"WHAT?" He yelled into the phone, I pulled it away from my ear and took a deep breath.
"Troy, I am fine everything is fine, I went to the doctor to make sure the baby was okay and everything" I told him
"Why did I not know as soon as it happened" He demanded
"Because I didn't want you to freak and play really bad!" I said into the phone, he only sighed, I got up and I went over to my bra drew and pulled out his sweatshirt I stole.
"Brie…I can't believe this" He murmured
"I am sorry" I mumbled
"Don't be, don't be, ok? I am sorry for freaking out, it is probably the last thing you need" He said, I only nodded to which he could not see.
"Troy, I love you and I am very sorry, ok?" I said
"I know you are baby, but what happened?" He asked
"I hadn't eaten for a while, and then I was really missing you and the place was hot and everything but I promise you, I am fine" I said
"Ok, but what did the doctor say?"
"Two days of complete rest, eat and drink and that's it" I said
I could see his head nodding up and down, "Ok," He took a deep breath and then spoke "I love you"
"I love you too"
"13 more days" He said, I laughed and then I licked my lips.
"I'll talk to you later" I said
"Alright baby, talk to you later" He said
We both hung up and I lay back on my bed, "Nope Troy, only five." I murmured
