My Pregnancy Story

Chapter 2

Gabriella woke up Monday morning and immediately rushed into her en suite bathroom and released her stomach into the toilet. Of course, she wasn't exactly sure yet whether she was officially pregnant, but these made it seem clearer and clearer each day. Unless she had stomach flu, there was really no reason she would have been throwing up and she was pretty positive the stomach flu doesn't last for 2 weeks.

After flushing and brushing her teeth, Gabi walked back into her room and lay back down on her bed. Looking at the clock, she saw that it was already 7:15. She had to be at school in 45 minutes, but she really wasn't in the mood to get up today. She knew she had no choice, because it was the first day of her senior year and she couldn't miss that.

After finally forcing herself to crawl out of bed and shower, Gabriella made her way downstairs, wearing a denim mini skirt, a graphic t-shirt with love written on the bottom, her all black converses, toting her small bag and her sidekick. She had on black bangle bracelets with a matching black heart necklace nd hoop earrings. (Outfit link in profile as always)

She found her mother in the kitchen cooking and as soon as she entered the kitchen, the smell of food caught her nose and made her want to puke again. Although, she didn't understand what was left to bring back up since she hadn't eaten a thing since last night, which actually wasn't much now that she thought about it.

Gabriella hated the fact that everytime she ate something or wanted to eat something or everytime the smell of food entered her nose; she felt the urge to puke. She wasn't one of those girls that ate basically nothing and claimed they were full, she actually liked food and that was one of the things Troy told her he liked about her from the beginning.

She quickly moved her hand over her mouth and took in a deep breath, just as her mother turned and noticed her. "Morning sweetie, pancakes?"

Gabriella smiled weakly, but shook her head. "No thanks, I'm not hungry."

Her mother stared at her for a moment. "You sure honey, it's you're first day and you look a little pale."

Before her mother could start with a whole speech about health and asking tons of questions, Gabriella interrupted.

"Mom, I'm fine. I guess im just nervous," she replied, sitting down in front of her mother just as her younger brother came down the stairs.

"Good Morning family," Michael Montez stated as he entered the kitchen and swiped some bacon off the plate sitting near Gabriella.

Gabi rolled her eyes. Michael was 15 and he was starting his sophomore year at East High. He had been wanting to go since forever and he had finally gotten his chance last year when he got kicked out of his first High School for being there after school hours. They blamed him the next day for the graffiti that showed up and kicked him out, and the last school available for him was East High.

Michael wasn't really a trouble kid, he just got beside himself sometimes, but their parents had made it pretty clear to him that he couldn't mess up at East High or they'd send him all the way to West High.

"Hey Honey," Alicia Montez, replied, not even bothering to acknowledge the fact that her son was practically shoving food down his throat.

Gabriella looked at him with a disgusted face and tried to hold in the urge she was feeling to get up and run to the bathroom and puke her guts out. "Chew much?" She asked him.

He gave her a toothy grin and she caught a look of all the food in his mouth. Gabriella then bolted to the hall bathroom, once again getting sick. She could hear her mother scolding her brother for his actions.

"How many times have I told you to chew your food before you talk to people," Alicia said, rolling her eyes and sipping her coffee, just as Gabi walked back into the room.

Michael swallowed and turned to his mother. "Sorry mom."

Greg Montez walked into the kitchen, greeting his family. Gabriella with a kiss on the cheek, his wife a loving kiss on the lips and his son with a pat on the shoulder. "How is everyone this morning?"

"Other than the fact that your son doesn't know how to eat, fine," Gabriella shot at her brother.

"Whatever, I said sorry. Not my fault you can't stomach your food."

Gabriella sighed, getting up to answer the door as the doorbell rang. She opened the door to see her boyfriend standing there smiling brightly at her.

"Hey baby," he said, kissing her lightly on the cheek, before she stepped aside to let him in and they made their way toward the kitchen.

"Good morning Troy," Alicia greeted her daughter's boyfriend and he smiled politely at both of her parents.

"Good morning Mrs. Montez, Mr. Montez."

Gabriella watched as her father grumbled something, before grabbing his coffee and sitting down to read the paper. Her father had never really liked Troy. It wasn't Troy personally; it was just the fact that Gabriella dating was what he didn't like. Even considering she had been dating Troy for 2 years, he still wasn't used to it. It was hard for him to let his daughter start dating in her sophomore year and then see her get caught up in one guy for 2 years. He'd rather her just give up guys until she was graduated college actually.

Troy shot Gabriella a look after her father's actions, but she just shook her head, telling him to dismiss it.

"Troy, my man," Michael said, after he was finished chewing.

Gabriella narrowed her eyes at her brother. "How come you chew your food before attempting to talk to him?"

"Because he doesn't hog the bathroom and spend all day on the phone with the queen of pink."

"First of all, it's my bathroom and my cell phone, plus my best friend and two, quit being an asshole," she replied, pushing him so he stumbled out of the chair.

Troy stifled a laugh at the brother and sister argument.

"Bella, language please," her father said, not bothering to look up from his paper.

Gabriella sighed before getting up from her chair. "Whatever, we're leaving. Good luck finding a ride to school, dweeb."

She heard the protests of her brother behind her and her mother's reassurance that she would drop him off.

As Gabriella climbed into Troy's Audi, she breathed out and rested her head on the window.

Troy climbed in, immediately noticing her demeanor. "You gonna be ok?"

"No," Gabriella shook her head.

"Hey," Troy said, gently pulling her into a hug, from across the seat. "We're doing this together remember. We will get through this."

Gabriella nodded, sitting back against the seat as Troy started the car and started off to school. The entire ride was in silence and when they pulled into the school parking lot, Gabriella glanced down at her phone and noticed it was only 8 o'clock and the warning bell for homeroom didn't ring till 8:15.

Troy turned the car off and the two of them sat in silence before Troy broke it. "Tell me what it is," he said, already knowing that something was on her mind.

Gabriella sighed and turned to face him. "I…I'm just thinking about this whole baby thing."

"What about it?"

"Well, first off, I need to make a doctor appointment to see if I really am pregnant, which I plan to do later," she assure him. "And then if I am, we have to tell our parents and decide what to do."

Troy looked confused. "What do you mean decide what to do?"

"With the baby," she responded in a whisper.

Troy's face dropped as he stared at his girlfriend. "Does that mean you want to get an abortion?"

Gabriella's eyes widened. "No, Troy. I mean like adoption."

"So you don't wanna keep our baby? If there is one."

Gabriella hesitated momentarily. "I just can't see myself as a mother."

Troy nodded slowly, before turning away to stare at the steering wheel.

Gabriella sighed, feeling guilty. "You're mad at me."

"No," Troy disagreed. "I just feel as if…I don't know. I mean I know that this was a complete mistake, but I've been starting to wonder about being a father."

"So you actually want to keep the baby? Do you really think we can handle that?"

"Honestly, I wouldn't know," Troy shrugged. "But now that it happened we might as well try. I think if we do this together, we could make it."

She smiled slightly at the fact that Troy actually wanted to keep the baby. It showed that he cared, but she wasn't sure she could handle a baby at 17. "If you're sure you want to do that..."

"Look, I know that this is nothing to be proud of but I love you and if we're going to have a baby together so be it. I wouldn't want to not be with the woman I love and the baby we created out of love."

Gabriella smile got wider as she gently leaned over the seat and kissed Troy softly on the lips. "I love you too."

Troy took her hand, running his hand over hers before he glanced at the clock on the dashboard. "We should get to class."

"Yea," Gabriella nodded, as they got out. She gripped his hand, knowing that he was giving her 100% support with everything.

"Gabriella!" Sharpay yelled at her best friend from across the lunch table.

Gabriella's head snapped up to her best friend. "What happened?"

"You happened," Sharpay replied. "What's been with you lately?"

"Nothing, I just have a lot on my mind," Gabriella defended, feeling Troy rubbing her back softly.

"It's not like you to be so spaced out," Taylor said, concerned. "You sure you ok."

"Yes, I'm fine."

The bell signaling the end of lunch rang, saving Gabriella from having to come up with excuses. She hated lying to her friends, but she wasn't really comfortable with the truth right now and she didn't want to tell them anything until she knew the facts for sure.

She stood up and hurried out of the cafeteria, heading straight to her locker. Troy appeared behind her at her locker. "We have to tell them sometime. They're our friends, they deserve to know."

Gabi turned and buried her face into his chest. "I know," she replied muffled. "But what will they think of me?"

Troy gently pulled away, forcing her to look into his eyes. "First of all, we don't know for sure yet, and second whether you are or not, they're still gonna be your friends."

She sighed, moving her head back to his chest. "I wish it would just all go away."

He stroked her hair gently. "I know baby, me too, but now that it's happened we have to deal with it."

Chad then walked past them. "You two need to get a room."

Gabriella giggled before taking Troy's hand as they made their way to class.

After school, Troy dropped Gabriella off at her house, her making the promise to make her doctor appointment as soon as she got in the safety of her room.

She walked in, dropping her bag by the door and immediately walked into the kitchen, where she greeted her mother, making dinner. "Hey mom."

"Hey honey," her mother replied as she gave her a light kiss on the cheek and went to the fridge in hopes of finding food that didn't make her get sick again.

Seconds later her brother came running down the stairs. "Mom! You'll never guess what I found in Brie's trash." Gabriella's eyes widened and she looked over to see Michael walking in the kitchen with the box from her pregnancy test in his hand. She quickly rushed over grabbing the box from him, just as her mother looked up at them.

"Michael, why are you going through your sister's trash? And Gabriella what are you hiding?"

"Mom, it was a…"

"Tampon," Gabriella interrupted. "He found my tampons in the trash."

Alicia looked at her kids curiously, before turning and going back to her cooking.

As soon as their mother wasn't looking, Gabriella grabbed him by his ear and dragged him up to her room, shutting the door behind her. "What the hell, Michael?"

"Don't what the hell me," he said, folding his arms across his chest and smirking at his sister. "I'm not the one with a pregnancy test in my bathroom trash can."

"Why are you snooping in my trash you little twit?"

"Cuz that's where I get all my dirt on you from."

"Ugh," Gabriella groaned, frustrated.

"The real questions are: Why do you have a pregnancy test in your trash? When did you have sex and are you really pregnant?"

"Too bad you're not gonna get the answers to any of those," she said, beginning to pick him up by the collar of his shirt.

"Ok then," Mikey said, brushing his shirt. "Guess I'll just have to tell mom and dad that you're knocked up."

She quickly cut him off by blocking his way out the door. "What do you want?"

He smirked. "You do my laundry for a month."

"And touch your rotting underwear, I think not."

"I will expose you..."

"Ugh, fine, whatever."

Michael grinned in victory, before sitting himself down on her bed. "So is Troy the baby daddy?"

"Excuse me, you little brat. That's none of your business."

He narrowed his eyes at her. "I'll get my answer soon enough, just you wait."

Gabriella rolled her eyes before grabbing his shirt, opening the door and pushing him out her room. "Goodbye."

She sighed, flopping down on her bed. As if she didn't have enough problems without Michael getting involved and trying to blackmail his way out of his chores. What Gabriella didn't know was this was only the beginning. She was in for a wild ride.
