Chapter 1

Loud cries filled the room, causing seventeen year old Gabriella to jolt awake. She up from her warm covers and reluctantly threw them off. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and sat there for a moment, trying to wake herself up. After a moment she stood and slipped on her fuzzy slippers before shuffling to the next room. When she entered she looked over to the corner and saw a small figure lying in a crib. Gabriella walked over and looked down at the tiny baby, its arms flailing and legs kicking. She gently picked it up and cradled it in her arms while slowly walking out the room and into the small kitchen. Balancing the baby in her right arm, she opened the fridge and grabbed the small pink bottle. Still balancing the tiny baby, she stuck the bottle in the microwave for 15 seconds.

Baby mine, don't you cry
Baby mine, dry your eyes
Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part, baby of mine.

Little one when you play
Don't you mind what you say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear, baby of mine.

If they knew sweet little you
They'd end up loving you too
All those same people who scold you
What they'd give just for
The chance to hold you.

From your head to your toes
Your not much, goodness knows
But your so precious to me
Cute as can be, baby of mine

Gabriella sang quietly to the baby in her arms. The microwave buzzer went off and she took the bottle out, squeezing it on her wrist to make sure it wasn't too hot. When she got it the temperature she wanted she gently held it to the baby's tiny mouth until they took it eagerly. Gabriella smiled softly and walked back into the baby room and sat in the rocking chair. She grabbed the fuzzy blanket off the back of the chair and wrapped it around the baby. When she was settled she looked down at the tiny face and smiled. Her little Sophie Anne Montez, she would now be one week old.

Gabriella had gotten pregnant when she was sixteen, nearly seventeen. It had not been by choice and it wasn't her fault. She thought back to what had happened nearly a year ago and shuddered, tears coming to her eyes. She looked down at little Sophie who was now asleep and smiled, forgetting everything. For the rest of the night she rocked Sophie and hummed her the lullaby that her mother used to sing to her, so many years ago.

Gabriella jolted awake and found that she was still in Sophie's room, in the rocking chair. She looked down and saw Sophie, still asleep and peaceful in her arms. She smiled softly before standing gently and laying her in her crib. She gently brushed her knuckles against Sophie's soft cheek and kissed her forehead before walking out of the room and closing the door softly.

Gabriella walked down the hall to her room and opened the curtains. Sunlight of the early morning came streaming in, lighting her room with natural light. She went to her bathroom and turned the shower on, making sure it was steaming hot before pealing her clothes off and stepping in. Letting the water run over her tired body, Gabriella closed her eyes. She had probably had a total of 24 hours of sleep the whole week. Since Sophie's birth, Gabriella had probably lost ten pounds. She hadn't had time to go out to the store to stock up so she was eating whatever she had already in the kitchen.

Gabriella washed her hair and body before shutting the shower off and stepping out, wrapping herself in a towel. When she opened the bathroom door and stepped out into her room she shivered from the sudden temperature change. She walked over to her dresser and put on a clean pair of underwear and a bra before slipping on a pair of pink Soffe shorts and a white tank top with the words PINK printed on the front. She slipped on a pair of black flip flops before blow drying her hair. After a moment of debating, she decided on leaving it down in its natural waves with a small headband on top of her head. She put on light make up before heading down to the kitchen to find something for breakfast. She found a box of cereal with enough cereal left for one bowl and used the rest of the milk for a bowl of cereal.

"That's it, I'm going to the store today." She whispered to herself. She went up to Sophie's room to get her ready and, as if she knew what was going on, found her wide awake in her crib starring up at her mobile. Gabriella smiled down at her before gently lifting her and taking her over to her changing table. She changed her diaper and gently put her in a pink romper that said "Mommy's Girl" on the front. She carried her downstairs and sat her in her pink car seat before locking the apartment door and getting in the elevator.

Gabriella pulled up to a small store called "Bob's Mart." She pulled Sophie's car seat out of the car and put it in the front of the cart before walking in. She started off in the produce section, getting bananas, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes before walking into the next isle. When she turned the corner she almost hit a tall guy with her cart. He turned and Gabriella saw the bluest eyes she had ever seen.

"I am so sorry, I didn't see you there." Gabriella rambled quickly. The guy smiled and studied her intently. She watched as he looked from her to the car seat containing Sophie. Gabriella blushed, she hated when people did this. They usually told her how wrong it was and that she should have been more careful.

"It's alright. Is she yours?" he asked in a soft tone. Gabriella was surprised when he didn't look disapproving, just curios.

"Uh, yeah she is." Gabriella said looking down at her feet. She didn't know why but she was kind of embarrassed to say that Sophie was hers.

"She is very cute. You and your husband must be proud. I'm Troy Bolton by the way." He said, sticking her hand out so she could shake. Gabriella took it and couldn't help but notice he said husband.

"Uhm, there is no husband. It's just me and her. And nice to meet you Troy, I'm Gabriella Montez. This is Sophie by the way." Gabriella said, looking down at Sophie, sound asleep in her car seat. Troy still studied her, wondering why the baby's father would leave two beautiful girls like this.

"I'm sorry to hear that. I bet you're a wonderful mother." He said kindly. Gabriella got butterflies in her stomach when he winked.

"Troy, let's go. I need to get home and clean the house before your grandparents come." A short women said from behind him. Troy still never took his eyes off of Gabriella. Gabriella noticed that the women looked a lot like Troy. She had sandy colored hair and the same shaped nose and mouth.

"It was nice meeting you Troy." Gabriella said not wanted Troy's mother to get angry with him.

"You to Gabriella, I hope to see you soon," he winked again before leaning down to look at Sophie, "be good for your mommy little Sophie." Troy looked at her one last time before walking away to join his mother. Gabriella starred after him, even after he was gone. She shook her head, trying to get herself out of her daze. As she finished her shopping the only thing she could think about was the sandy haired boy with the beautiful blue eyes.
