Yay! Sorry it took a while for me to come up with what I wanted for this chapter. I hope you all like it, and I'll meet you at the bottom! (Disclaimer: I own nothing that has to do with the song Love Like This, or High School Musical. Just the plot of my story is all that I own)

The next morning, I awoke to very loud singing. Taylor and Sharpay. I rubbed my eyes and walked over to the dresser. I quickly brushed my hair and went downstairs.

"We go back so far,
Swinging in your back yard,
All the things that we used to do
We were cool back in high school
Ooh I really liked you,
Must have been your attitude.

That's why you keep on running
In and out of my mind.
As the years they'll roll by,
Baby, now I know why
I keep coming back to you.
You're the only one that knows me,
Love it when you hold me,
Never find a love like this-"

I'm guessing that's when they noticed I was in there.

"Very good," I clapped. "Encore, Encore!" We all laughed, including Katie.

"Yay!" She giggled.

"You ready for breakfast lil' K?" Sharpay said. Katie nodded her head, and Sharpay gave her the pancakes and picked her up and sat her on one of bar stools.

"So, Gabs, what are you going to do today?" Taylor turned to me.

"I don't know, but I know I have to go see my mom later...with Katie." Taylor and Sharpay both looked at each other, then back at me.

"We're there for you Gabby. No worries. We'll go with you, for support, along with Lil' K." Sharpay statted.

"Absolutely." said Taylor.

"Thanks you guys. With you two there it'll help a lot." They nodded their heads. We all grabbed our breakfast, me with a cheese omelet, Taylor with bacon and biscuits, and Sharpay with her usual. Cereal. After cleaning up the kitchen, I went upstairs and changed out of my pajamas into a pair of blue jeans and black sleeveless v-neck shirt. I brushed my hair up into a pony tail and grabbed my purse and black ballet flats. I went back downstairs and waited for Sharpay, Taylor, and Katie. A few minutes later, Sharpay came down the stairs and into the living room with me.

"When are you going to meet Troy?" Pretty flat out.

"Um..." I bit my lip. I didn't know when I was going to do that. Sharpay looked at me.

"Gabriella! You have to see him sometime. I mean he knows that you're back, you can't just runaway from him."

"I know, I know. I just don't know how to take that first step is all. I mean, what do I do first?" But before Sharpay could answer, Taylor and Katie descended down the stairs. I walked over to Katie and picked her up in my arms, opposite the arm I had my purse on. We walked towards the door and went out to the car. I strapped Katie in her carseat and sat next to her. Sharpay took the wheel and Taylor was in the passenger seat. I felt like my stomach was in my throat, and we were only a few minutes from my mom's house. I seriously felt like I was going to throw up. Taylor looked at me from the front passenger seat.

"You okay Gabs? You don't look like you feel very good. But then again, I can understand, I would absolutely HATE to have to do something like this." Sharpay glared at Taylor.

"Not helping Taylor, now she probably does need to throw up." Taylor shrugged and said sorry. We finally arrived at my mom's house and I'm really suprised I seriously hadn't thrown up yet.

"It's now or never!" I said. I unstrapped Katie and got her out of the car. Sharpay and Taylor got out of the car also. I was the first one to the door, with Katie directly behind me, and the other two behind her. I knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" I heard my mom say.

"It's Gabby, mom."

"Come on in, sweetie! The door's unlocked!!!" I came in with Katie, Sharpay, and Taylor behind me. My mom came over and hugged me.

"Oh sweetie, it's been so long!" She released from my hug and went over to hug Sharpay and Taylor.

"Oh girls, it's so great to see you too. Although I kind of saw you last week, but still." Mom said.

"Same here Mrs. Montez!" Sharpay squealed.

"As always!" Taylor said. Then my mom turned towards Katie. Oh boy. Here we go. "Who's this little girl, Gabriella?" Mom asked. I looked behind me at Sharpay and Taylor, and they nodded, knowing it was time to tell mom the truth.

"Mom, this is Katie. She's...she's my daughter." Mom stood there, completely shocked.

"Your, Your daughter?" Mom stuttered.

"Yeah."

"How...how old is she?" I went over and sat on the couch.

"Three. She'll be four in August." I cool-ly stated. Mom came over and sat by me on the couch. Sharpay, Taylor, and Katie sat on the other couch across from us.

"Oh Gabriella!" She gave me a big hug. I looked at Sharpay and Taylor with a confused look. They both shrugged their shoulders.Okay, not exactly what I had expected. She released from the hug.

"It must have been horrible. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you. Why didn't you tell me then?" I let out a big sigh of relief, as did the girls.

"I was just scared. I thought you would kill me for having a kid at 19, and I didn't want anyone to know really. I was afraid of everyone's reactions."

"It's okay though right?" I nodded. Then mom just sat there and stared at me for a few minutes.

"Wait a second. Who's the father?" I was afraid she would ask this. "Um..."

"Do you even know?" She questioned. "Yeah, yeah I do. It just..."

"It's Troy." Sharpay finished for me. I glared at her, and she mouthed 'what?' I just shook my head and turned my attention back to my mother.

"Oh." She said. "I'd rather it be him then anyone else. Does he know?" Oh great, here comes back that queasy feeling again.

"Not exactly." I stated nervously. "Honey, you should let him know, I'm sure everything will be just fine."

"I don't know if it will be mom. All of the gang knows it except him. I'm scared that he'll be pissed that I didn't tell him sooner. A lot sooner." Mom gave me another hug.

"It'll be okay, Gabriella. It'll be okay." As soothing and caring as mom's words were, I wasn't so sure that they would be true. Truthfully, I never wanted to tell Troy, but knew I would have to eventually. I just wouldn't know when.

Well, I was going to have Mrs. Montez like totally freak out and everything, but it just wouldn't fit into the story the way I want it to go. But trust me, there'll be someone that's shocked at this, and doesn't want to believe it. But this won't happen for the next few chapters. Anyways, hope you all liked the chapter! I promise it won't take that long for the next one. I'll have a new chapter by January 21st! (That's also my birthday! Yay!) As for all you people out there, here's a little teaser from the next chapter.

"Are you sure it's okay that I'm here, Sharpay?" Duh of course, Gabriella will definitely thank me for this later. "Absolutely ."

Hmm, who is it? I guess you'll just have to read the next chapter to find out!!! If I get the chapter done in time, I'll have it for you guys BEFORE my birthday. The latest possible day will be the 21st though! As always, love you all, don't forget to read and review, especially if you have story alerts on this story. (I notice there are lots of people that have this on story alerts, but don't review.)

LYA, Deidra:-)
