"You're what?!?" yelled Troy Bolton in disbelief
"Troy I am pregnant." Gabriella told her boyfriend.
"Ya. Good one."
"Seriously look at the test."
Gabriella showed a pregnancy test to Troy.
"O my gosh your pregnant." said Troy staring at the test.
Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez had been going steady since last spring. It was fall of their senior year when Gabriella showed Troy the positive pregnancy test. They had…gone a little over bored last week and Gabriella was…sick. Gabriella was scared of the reaction of her mom. She was sure her mom would yell and scream until she went into labor.
"What are we going to do we aren't ready to be parents!" said Troy
"I know we're only 17." Gabriella said.
"We'll, we have to tell our parents sooner or later." Troy said
"Excuse me." said Gabi "I am going to throw up."
Gabriella ran into the bathroom in a frantic. Troy sat on her bed and thought about them being parents in high school. He had major regrets of their love they had shown for each other.
Gabriella came out of the bathroom.
"I have to go." said Troy "Gather my thoughts. Tell my parents. Call me."
"Alright." said Gabriella. She grabbed the pregnancy test and followed Troy down stairs
"Don't forget Gabi. Call me."
"I will."
Gabriella entered her kitchen to see her mom cooking.
"Mom I have something to tell you." she said
"Honey if it's a bad test it's okay." Ms. Montez rambled on about it being okay to have a b.
She handed the test to her mom.
"Gabriella this is a different kind of test. Your pregnant!"
"Mom I'm sorry." Gabriella said "I…We…He…" she couldn't find the words. "I'm sorry." she said. Gabriella burst into tears and ran up to her room and lied down.
5 minutes later Gabriella heard a knock on her door.
"Come in." said Gabi sitting up and wiping away her tears. Her mom stood in the doorway crying.
"Hun." she said "I was your age when I got pregnant with you and…I think you'll make a wonderful mom."
Gabriella looked at her mom and smiled.
"Thank you mommy." she said "I love you."
"I love you too sweetheart." she said "I love you too."
Troy walked into his house with the same expression on his face he had when he found out Gabriella was pregnant.
"Mom can you come up to my room with me I need to talk to you." he said.
"Okay I'll be up in a second." she said
Troy sat on his bed reading a 'New Parent' magazine.
"Honey it's mom can I come in?"
Troy hid the magazine
"Umm sure come in."
"You wanted to tell me something?" she asked sitting next to Troy.
"Mom yea umm…Gabi…is…umm…pregnant."
"Troy! The poor girl why did you do that to her?" yelled Mrs. Bolton
"Mom, this is different. Gabi and I…are in love."
"Troy that's what all teens say you are making a big mistake!"
"No mom." Troy started crying "I know it was wrong but this isn't fake. I love her and I will help her take care of this child. I made a commitment to her when we started going steady that no matter what I would always support her and I would never leave her. I am willing to keep that commitment to her."
"Troy it's alright." she comforted her son "I'm proud of you for being brave enough to tell me this. Remember I will always love you "
That was good to her. Troy was afraid of his mother's decision about this.
"Okay." said Troy wiping his tears. "I'm going to call Gabriella." He dialed 555 - 2938
"Hey Troy." answered Gabriella "How'd your mom take it?"
"Alright I guess. How about yours?"
"She was our age when I was born so she knows how we feel. She told me I would be a wonderful mom."
"Now that we got that out of the way, what are we going to do about this."
"Well, my mom is going to write a note to Ms. Darbus explaining that I'm pregnant. Friday will be my last day." (Today is Saturday)
"Are going to have a tutor or something?" he asked
"Yes but I am still going to be at graduation."
"Okay."
"So were is the baby going to be born?" asked Troy trying to make a decision
"Well, my hospital is Albuquerque General so I think the baby should be born there."
"Fine with me." said Troy "When is your first ultrasound?"
"Wednesday at 11:30." said Gabi "We're going to have to miss school that day."
"Yea I'll have to give my mom that date and time. " said Troy
"Okay well I have to go call Taylor." said Gabi. "The only people who find out are Taylor, Chad, Kelsi, Jason, and Zeke."
"Don't worry Gab, I'll make sure their the only ones"
"I'll see you tomorrow." Gabriella said
"Okay bye."
They hung up.
Gabriella dialed Taylor's number 555 - 0027
"Hello McKessie residents David speaking." (David is Taylor's 21 year old brother.)
"Hi David It's Gabriella is Taylor home?" she asked
"Yea sure Gabi hold on a minute."
"Thank You."
"Hey Gabriella what's up?" asked Taylor
"Taylor I'm pregnant." Gabriella straight out told her best friend
"I will kill him!" she yelled
"No Tay its okay. Just promise me you won't tell anyone."
"Sure. You're my best friend don't worry.
"Thanks Taylor but I have to go to the store and pick up some bananas and bbq sauce."
"Why?" asked a very confused Taylor
"Cravings. Bad ones." answered Gabriella
Gabi hung up.
(knock knock) "Come in." Troy Bolton said to the knock at his door
Jack Bolton entered his son's bedroom.
"Dad please don't be mad I am so sorry!" Troy explained to his father
"It's alright Troy I did the same thing but…I was actually younger then you."
"Dad you got another women pregnant?!?" yelled Troy
"No I got your mother pregnant with Jacqueline. (Troy's 27 year old sister.) She was pregnant at 15, gave birth at 16."
"Gabriella is pregnant at 17, she's going to give birth at 18." Troy explained to his father.
"Okay bud if you want to talk just call for me."
"Ohh yea and dad I forgot. Gabriella's first ultrasound is Wednesday at 11:30 at Albuquerque General. I'm going to have to miss school that day. Can you tell mom?"
"Sure." said Mr. Bolton and left the room.
Troy dialed Chad's number, 555 - 9207 to tell him about Gabriella.
"Hello?" answered Chad
"Chad Gabriella's pregnant." Troy straight out told Chad
"I will kill you!"
"No Chad it's okay. Hold on I have someone on the other line."
One minute later.
"Chad I have to go. Gabi is having a craving for bananas dipped in barbeque sauce. Can you call Jason and tell him and have him call Kelsi and tell her but just make sure they don't tell anyone else."
"Alright dude see you soon." Chad said
"Okay Bye."
