This is kind of a crossover. But not a heavy one, Just using the characters.

Gabriella walked out of the doctor's office in shock. She was excited and scared. She didn't know how Troy was going to react to the news. They had just moved in with each other in late April and here is was mid July and their lives were about to turn in a completely different direction then what they were expecting. Gabriella was a well known singer and Broadway actress; her solo single remained in the number one slot for three months and she just wrapped up the closing night of Phantom of the Opera where she played the lead Christine. Her success came at a surprising rate and with an odd start that involved Sharpay.

Flashback.

"Um… Gabriella?" Sharpay tapped Gabriella on the shoulder. Gabriella stopped organizing her locker and turned around to meet Sharpay's brown eyes. She wasn't in the mood for Sharpay's games. But Gabriella was caught of guard when Sharpay's expression was soft and genuinely friendly.

"Yeah?" Gabriella said carefully.

"My dad gave me some exciting news this morning and I just wanted to let you know that I'm really happy for you, and that I hope that we can start over and be friends because…"

"Whoa, Sharpay slow down… What are you talking about?" Gabriella searched the slender blonde in front of her.

"My Dad, he knows this producer Melvin, and he attended the last musical and well… he's interested in signing a record deal with you and me." Sharpay tried to say this more slowly. She didn't know how Gabriella was going to react. The only clear emotion she was getting from Gabriella's face and body language was pure confusion and displacement.

"So all the sudden you want to be friends? I don't get it Sharpay… What's the catch?"

Damn. Gabriella saw right through her.

"Well… He wants us to sing a song together, for a single… Then he is going to manage us separately."

"Wait a minute, I'm not about to get into another competing match with you, first the winter musical, then Troy and the senior musical…I don't think I can deal with it again Sharpay."

"Please Gabriella… I really want to do this, do you have any clue what this could do for us?"

"Us? No Sharpay… this is really about you. That producer will only do this if we sing together, and I don't need you making a fool out of me again."

Troy had walked up behind Gabriella unnoticed, and he was hearing the whole conversation.

"Gabriella, just at least think about it. I'm honestly not trying to make your life miserable any more, and I admit, I was wrong and selfish and even unworthy, but please…this is my dream." Sharpay pleaded, Gabriella could see tears in Sharpay's eyes. And for the first time in the conversation Gabriella allowed her defenses down and accepted Sharpay's offer. After all it too was Gabriella's dream.

"Sharpay" Gabriella breathed, leaning against her locker. By this time Sharpay had seen Troy standing behind Gabriella, but remained eye contact with her. "You really mean it when you say that you want to be friends? And that you will stop trying to break Troy and I up."

"Gabriella, I really, really mean it. And as for you and Troy… it's obvious that you two were meant for each other, I was very wrong for what I did, I am sorry."

Gabriella gave Sharpay a half smile. She knew that Sharpay really did mean what she was saying.

"Ok, we're officially starting over. But I'm warning you now, the first thing you do to tarnish our friendship, that's it."

"You're so amazing." Sharpay squealed throwing herself into Gabriella giving her a tight hug. Gabriella didn't know how to react so she awkwardly patted Sharpay's back.

"Ok…can't breath" Gabriella struggled.

"Oh…sorry" Sharpay giggled. "So, do you maybe want you come over tonight and hang out, you know get to know each other? Do you think Taylor and Kelsi would like to come too?"

"I…" Gabriella shuddered. She didn't know about this, and she really didn't know how her closets friends would reacts. Suddenly she envisioned their shocked expressions; her imagination even took it as far as playing out a heart attack from Taylor. Gabriella snapped back into reality upon hearing her name.

"Gabriella?" It was a question, in a soft voice none the less, the tone out of place on Sharpay: as Gabriella was used to hearing an annoying shrill of a spoiled brat.

Gabriella sighed. Non the less, she reminded herself. This was there senior year and she was going to make the most of it.

"You know what, I do. What time?" She answered finally.

"Seven-ish…" Sharpay wondered if this was really real. Being nice and actually meaning it felt kind of…. Well nice. Imation that.

"Ok, I'll talk to Tay and Kelsi" Gabriella wasn't sure how this was going to go down with her friends, she only hoped they wouldn't crucify her upon asking.

"Well I'll leave you and Troy to do what ever it is you do." Sharpay smiled at the couple then walked away.

Gabriella was surprised to see Troy right behind her. "Hey" She smiled, their eyes locking and everything else faded around them, butterfly's fluttering in her stomach wildly, like always.

Troy wrapped his arms around her. "Good morning." He kissed her softly. "So I hear your going to be a big star?"

"Well, we'll see… I'm still not sure about all this. One side of me wants to believe that Sharpay is telling the truth, but I'm still keeping my eyes wide open for any potential set ups." Gabriella giggled.

"Aw, come on she isn't that bad is she?" Troy shifted his weight, contemplating if that was the right thing to say. Gabriella lifted her eyes brows in defiance.

"Um, sweetie you do recall last summer? You know, Lava springs… You, Ryan…. jealousy. Sharpay, conspiring against us? Going my own way and all that jazz….Is it coming back to you now?" She joked.

"I was trying to forget." He said seriously, fighting the erg to kiss Gabriella, but the face she was making was just too cute, so he gave into his desire gently kissing her.

"Ok stud," Gabriella giggled. "Let's get to class before we get Saturday detention…"

End flashback.

Gabriella walked out of the cool building, upon stepping outside she was hit with a wave of California heat. Immediately feeling flushed and sticky, ignoring the discomfort she pulled out her red cell phone and pressed a small black button reading 1."

Troy smiled to the tune that only played when the center of his universe called.

"Hello beautiful…" Troy said charmingly. Gabriella smiled on the other end; her heart skipped a beat as she switched hands, placing the now warm phone to her left ear. They had been together for four years now, and still his voice physically affected her.

"Hey, I was wondering if I could stop by for a few minutes…" Gabriella walked to her red convertible; she was searching her purse for her keys. She was damning herself for wearing jeans today; as the heat and frustration from the missing keys got to her she stomped and dropped her purse. She rolled her eyes at her own sudden out burst.

"You have just made my day Gabi! Of course you can come up here, you can stay all day if you want, nothing would make me happier." He beamed. But he was concerned. There was something in her voice he was unsure of something not so Gabi.

"Ok I'll see you in a few minutes, how about lunch? I was going to stop by that deli that we love so much…" She bent down to retrieve her purse as she did she felt a jagged object in her pocket Oh lovely. Upon standing up she pulled the keys out of her pocket.

"That would be great!" Troy plugged his ear to better hear Gabriella over the load commotion on the set.

"Ok, baby I'll see you then." Success! She'd got the car door open and feverishly turned on the cool air.

"I'll be counting down the minutes." He flirted.

Gabriella giggled as she chucked the cell phone in her purse, she sat back in her sat taking a deep breath allowing the cool air to calm her.

Gabriella intentionally turned off her I-pod and enjoyed the silence during the short ride to the Deli. She was mentally playing out how she was going to go about telling him. She let out a small laugh to herself, and then looked down realizing that she subconsciously placed her had on her abdomen. The realization hit her quickly and her heart began to flutter.

"I thought I couldn't possibly stretch the boundaries of love anymore, until now…" She said softly to herself.

Upon walking in the deli, Gabriella was hit with that familiar queasiness from the scent of the food, (the feeling that brought her to the doctor in the first place.) She rushed to the restroom and made it to the toilet just in time.

I don't care what the doctor said; there is nothing glamorous about pregnancy. Gabriella thought while splashing her face with warm water. After twenty minutes of employees and customers asking for her autograph she finally got the sandwiches and was off to meet Troy.

Able to be comforted but the quiet sanctuary of her car again, she suddenly realized there was another call she needed to make.

Gabriella pulled out her cell again and dialed Sharpay's number.

"Talk to me." Sharpay answered.

"Hey!" Gabriella said excited.

"Hey Gabi, what's up?" Sharpay sat up paying attention to Gabriella's voice. The two had become very close friends and actually worked on a lot of gigs together. Sharpay also preformed in Phantom of the Opera as Carlotta and Gabriella's understudy.

"Actually, a lot!"

"Well what is it?" Sharpay shifted again. "Can I have just a minute please Katrina?" Sharpay said softly to her hair stylist waving her away.

Gabriella giggled; there are some things about Sharpay you just can't change. "Where are you at?" Gabriella asked.

"The set for the new video…Remember? Troy is directing it"

"Oh yeah…" Gabriella said slowly, wondering if this was a good idea anymore.

"Gabi…. What is it?" Sharpay stood up immediately. Katrina approached her again with a hair brush and some spray glitter. "Just, stop!" She ordered holding her hand up to the unsuspecting make-up artist. Gabriella bit her lip, feeling bad for whoever had to work for Sharpay.

"Off with it Gabi, your going to give me worry wrinkles!"

"Well…um are you sitting down?" Gabriella said nervously. Sharpay gave a quick look around at the people glairing at her, including Troy. They were on a strict time limit. She sat down defiantly, all her attention refocused on her friend.

"Yeah Gabi, I'm sitting. But you have to spit it out already; I'm getting a…" Sharpay covered her mouth to keep secret what she was saying. "…Troy glair."

"ugh oh! Ok, um…. Well…. I'm just going to come right out and say it…" Gabriella bit her bottom lip as she showed the guard her pass code for the set. Then she pulled up to the large white warehouse.

"Well off with it!" Sharpay swallowed her frustration.

"I'm pregnant." Gabriella said trying to slow her speeding heart.

"WHAT!!!" Sharpay jumped out of her chair. Now, catching everyone's confused attention Sharpay turned her back to them. " That is so amazing" Sharpay whispered.

"I know I'm so…excited" Gabriella squeaked.

"Well, Have you told Troy yet?"

"No, so keep your mouth shut!" Gabriella demanded. "I'm outside now so I'm going to hang up, please don't say anything yet ok?"

"I swear, Gabi…your going to be a mommy." She squealed. "Awwwweeee" She wined over dramatically.

"Sharpay stop, someone is going to hear you" Gabriella nagged. But she was wearing the biggest smile.

Sharpay saw Gabriella walking in the door and they both hung up there phones and took off running to Gabriella crashing into a hug.

"Nice way of being discreet Shar…" Gabriella whispered. "Um…Can't breath…"

"Oh sorry." Sharpay pulled away. "Oh God I didn't hurt you did I?" Sharpay felt crashing guilt. What if I hurt the baby?

"No, I'm fine." Gabriella laughed.

Troy rushed up to the two. "Wow with that kind of greeting, your going to make me look like a bad boyfriend."

"Hey" Gabriella said lovingly to the sight before her.

"Hey" He winked at her. An awkward moment passed as both Gabriella and Troy looked to the unmoving Sharpay.

" Um, You think you could surrender her?" Troy joked trying to pull Gabriella to him.

"Oh, uh yeah. Right" Sharpay clumsily let go.

Finally Sharpay stepped back and allowing Troy Gabriella and they kissed. It was meant to be a short greeting kiss, but Gabriella deepened it using every inch of passion that filled her body. They pulled apart to for much needed air.

"Wow," Troy whispered. There foreheads together. Sharpay smiled at them, she was so excited about the news that she had to walk away in fear of screaming it out. But it wasn't long before she started working the phone. Starting with her fiancée Zeke. Soon it would turn into a chain reaction amongst their group of friends, starting with Taylor and Kelsey, she would leave it to them to keep the information flowing to the rest.

"I have a surprise for you." She whispered smiling. "But you have to guess" She giggled.

"Oh yeah?" He intertwined he's hand with hers. "Is it bigger then a bread box?"

"Um, well not yet…" She couldn't wipe the smile off her face.

"Huh?" He pulled away to get a better view of her brown eyes.

"Well, we're ugh" Suddenly a wave of feeling unsure about telling him hit her. She was scared now. Coping out, she broke eye contact with him looking to the forgotten bags of sandwiches dangling from her hand.

There was a long pause.

"What? Are you ok? Is something wrong?" Troy's hold on her tightened, his instincts kicking in. He lifted her chin to make her look at him. Her insecurities were taking over, her eyes filled with tears.

"No, ah… everything is fine…I hope…" She bit her lip. What if he leaves me? What will I do if he doesn't want our baby?

"What is it? You know you can tell me anything." He said softly. His face was filled with concern, A million things flying through his head he was completely confused and unable to grasp the situation.

"Well…" She took his hand, moving it to her stomach. Upon contact of Gabriella's cool flowing sundress that covered her flat tummy Troy snapped his eyes up at her with such hope that she felt like she was going to burst into happy tears. But his silence filled her with fear and she turned away from him. He was robbed of the proper reaction. Something was wrong, what was happening?

"Gabi?" He breathed. Moving back in front of her, wanting to hold her and touch her stomach again. The fear that was creeping up in him felt much like the desperation he felt when she told him she had to go her own way those many summers ago. Everything was being read wrong, both succumbing to the miscommunication.

"Troy, I... I think I should go so..." She whimpered. Troy felt his heart drop. Was she not happy? Didn't she want to be a family?

She slipped out of his grasp; his hands fell to his sides is defeat and utter loss. He was unable to stop her. To do much of anything, but watch her walk away.
