Chapter Two

Wife Material

The next morning, Troy woke up to the smell of pancakes, eggs, and bacon.

"Who's in my house? Er, apartment?" Troy asked angrily.

Gabriella poked her head in his bedroom. "Maybe someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed," she said jokingly.

"I should've never given you a key," he said to her.

"Whatever," she said smiling.

Troy went up behind her and put his hands on her waist. "Why are you cooking pancakes? And eggs? And bacon?" he asked. "You only fix those things when you have something important to tell me."

She looked at him. "Or maybe I just decided to fix you a special breakfast." she said.

"What do you have to tell me?" he asked.

"Troy, I'm—"

The phone rang. "Hold on," he told her as he ran to get the phone.

"Hello? What do you want mom? I'm sorry you acted like a brat, too. She is to wife material! What do you have to do to be 'wife material'?"

At hearing this, Gabriella picked up the other phone quietly. She didn't want Troy to know she was listening in on his calls.

"She has to be nice with kids. She has to have nurturing skills. You know, cleaning the house. And most importantly, she has to be right for you, which she's not!" his mom said.

"You know what, mom? I had half a mind to apologize to you for what happened last night. But now, you just made it worse. Tell me, what do you not like about Gabriella?" Troy asked, getting angry.

"She stole you from me!" his mom said.

When Gabriella heard this, she was shocked. She had ruined Troy and his mom's relationship. What kind of girlfriend has she become? She hung up the phone, went in to the bathroom, and had a nice cry.

"No, mom. She didn't steal me from you. I did. Ever since I broke up with Sharpay, you acted like you didn't love me anymore. You know what? I don't love you anymore," Troy said as he hung up phone angrily.

He stormed into the kitchen to find Gabriella not there. He heard silent sobs coming from somewhere.

Troy walked around the apartment until he found where the sounds were coming from.

"Are you OK?" he asked through the bathroom door.

"No. I…I ruined you and your mom's relationship," Gabriella said.

"No you didn't. We haven't been close ever since the beginning of high school. So what did you want to tell me?" he asked.

"Nothing," she said as she opened the door to the bathroom. She walked out and said, "This place needs to be cleaned up."

Nurturing skills, Troy thought in his mind.

"Oh, Troy. I forgot to tell you. Maria, my cousin, had her baby," she said.

"When?" he asked.

"Ten months ago," she said. "I love playing with her. Everytime I go over Maria's house, her daughter runs up to me screaming 'Play!'" Gabriella said.

Good with kids and good for me, Troy thought. Looks to me like she's wife material.

"Seriously, Gabriella, what did you have to tell me?" he asked again.

"I have an ultrasound in two months," she said smiling.

"Are you saying…?" Troy asked.

"I'm pregnant!" Gabriella yelled at the top of her lungs.

"We have to find a house. You, me, and a baby can't live in a one room apartment. I need to get the newspaper, then skip right to the Classifieds. Would you think a three bedroom house would work?" Troy asked.

"Three?" Gabriella asked.

"Guest room," Troy said.

"Oh. Yeah," Gabriella said.

"I will be right back. I have to go to the convenient store to get a newspaper," Troy said, running to the door.

"Slow your rolls, Dada, I'm coming, too!" Gabriella yelled.

(A/N: If I get enough reviews, I might post Chapter Three up today. If you haven't heard…or seen, 2Gether 4Ever is now Together Forever and the story is not all Corbin and Vanessa. I have a plan to make it a Zanessa. Trust me, you'll be shocked if you read it. The chapter's not up yet, but it'll probably be up today.)
