I'm so sorry that it's taken me FOREVER to upload this chapter. I wasn't in the mood to write this, and had no ideas etc. Okay basically I had a writers block for this story but don't worry I'm back with a lot more ideas. Thank you to everyone who replied to my AN!
Basically this chapter is a little bit different and dark, but read my note at the bottom for more info.
Oh and I haven't read over it because I'm in a rush to upload it - so sorry for any mistakes!
Chapter Six – Montana
"You're what!?"
"Pregnant.."
"No, this cant be true! Are you sure you bought the right test Taylor? Maybe it's just faulty.."
"No I bought the most accurate one there.. Are you sure it's positive?
"Yeah, look – it has the pink plus sign, which means positive. God! How can this be happening!? My life's over!"
"Calm down, we'll sort it out.."
"These kinds of problems don't have sorting out solutions! And there's no way I'm killing this baby.. I couldn't."
Chad took a step away from the girl's door, and gasped. Which one of them was pregnant? Their voices were too muffled to recognize who was actually pregnant. It couldn't have been Taylor, right? I mean they always used protection.. Well there might have been one time they'd forgotten.
Chad shook his head and jogged down the hallway, stopping at his hotel room door. He shut his eyes, took a deep breath and opened the door.
"What's up with you dude, it looks like you've seen a ghost!" Zeke laughed as Chad slowly walked back into their hotel room, in Montana.
Chad ignored Zeke's question, and went to sit down on the sofa. He threw this head in his hands and cried out in frustration. "Taylor might be pregnant."
Zeke sat next to him, his eyes widening. "Dude, are you serious?! Did she just tell you or something!?"
"Not exactly. I heard the girls talking about one of them being pregnant, but I couldn't point out who actually said it. But me and Taylor once forgot to use protection about a month ago.. We had just gotten back together, and our minds were just set on each other, not protection.." Chad whispered.
Zeke froze. "I wouldn't stay set on the idea that Taylor's the one whose pregnant man.. About two months ago I remember, me and Sharpay didn't use protection. She had just come back from holiday, so wasn't taking the pill. It just slipped our minds."
Chad let out a sigh of relief. "I really hope Taylor's not pregnant.. I mean that would basically just ruin my life."
"Same. I mean I love Sharpay and everything, but I don't want to have a baby with her – not yet. Definitely not yet."

"So, how are you finding Montana?" Troy asked, as he and Gabriella were walking through a shop later that day. "I went for a run after we'd arrived, then played some basketball at a court I'd found. Pretty awesome view from the court it was."
"Really?" Gabi gulped. "Oh, it's been great – me, Sharpay and Taylor were just hanging out, talking about old times, you know?" She replied, giving him a fake smile.
"Are you feeling okay by the way? Taylor was telling me how you were sick on the way."
Gabriella stopped walking immediately. "I'm fine! I think I just eat a gone off burger or something before.. Don't worry about me!"
Troy raised his eyebrows, then brought Gabriella closer. "Okay, if your feeling sick again – you just tell me okay, and I'll drive us back to the hotel."
Gabriella nodded. "Thanks Troy.."
"No problem, you know I'm always going to be here for you – through anything." He reassured her, rubbing her back gently. "Hey, maybe we'll be buying stuff like that in the future." He laughed, pointing to the clothes rack with all baby clothes on it.
Gabriella couldn't bear to look at them. "Maybe sooner than you think." She muttered under her breath. "Troy, is it okay if we head back to the hotel? I'm feeling a bit sick actually.."
"Sure, look how about tonight, just me and you – we'll stay in and watch a movie, and pig out on room service?" He grinned. "Just good old teenager stuff."
"Yeah, teenager stuff.."
--
"I cant keep hiding this from him! I swear everything he talks about reminds me of this stupid pregnancy!" Gabriella cried to Sharpay and Taylor once she'd arrived back at the hotel.
"Gabriella – you have to tell him!" Sharpay exclaimed.
"Do I?" She sighed, lying back on her bed.
"What, you really think you'd be able to pull off something like going to college pregnant, and not bothering to tell Troy that he's going to be a dad!? Come on Gabs, he's going to notice the bump sooner or later – and so is everyone else!"
"Okay so maybe it wasn't my best idea.. But he's going to go mad – I know it." Gabriella paused. "All his life, he's been working up to college. All his life he's wanted to play basketball at college, then go on to the NBA. I've ruined his plan. I've ruined his life."
Taylor and Sharpay didn't know how to respond to that. Gabriella was right, she had practically ruined Troy's life, and there was nothing Taylor or Sharpay could have said to make the situation better.
"Tell him tonight, you can sort things out Gab." Taylor told her, sitting next to her.
"He's going to shout and scream at me. I know it." She sobbed. "And anyway, enough about his damn future, what about mine! How can I go onto college like this!?"
"I'm sure you can still go to college even though your pregnant, and maybe your mom could move with you, so then she can help you take care of it, so you can continue taking classes?" Sharpay suggested. "It will work out Gab, it will."
"That might work out, but I know my relationship with Troy is over now. And he wont want anything to do with this child." She whispered, tears still falling down her cheeks.
"You don't know that for certain.."
"I'm 99.9 certain we'll be over by the morning."
Sharpay was about to reply to Gabi, but there was a knock at the door. She shrugged then got up off the bed and walked over to the door and opened it to reveal a distressed looking Chad and Zeke.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Sharpay asked.
"Are you pregnant?" Zeke quickly asked.
"Excuse me?" Sharpay responded.
"Shar, are you pregnant? I need to know."
"Of course I'm not. I think if I was, I'd let you know.. What brought all this on?"
"Chad heard you guys talking about one of you being pregnant.."
Gabriella shot up off the bed, her face looking alarmed. They couldn't know.. Not yet, they just couldn't.
"Tay, is it you? Are you the one whose pregnant?" Chad asked, seriously getting worried. His dreams were on balance here – if Taylor answered yes, they crashed down.
Taylor looked at Gabriella and shook her head. "No, it's not me."
Zeke and Chad turned to face Gabriella, their faces in total shock. They both walked in slowly, still not able to speak.
"It's me." She said quietly, looking at the floor.
"You!?" Chad spat out. "But your, Gabriella! Class Valedictorian, the best in our school, the responsible one – it cant be!"
Gabriella burst into fresh tears. "Class Valedictorian, pregnant – wow that sounds great!" She sobbed.
"I cant believe this.. How, why!?" Zeke exclaimed.
"I don't know! I cant remember when we didn't use protection.. I know we hadn't a few times.."
Zeke and Chad walked over to her and brought her into a big hug, trying to calm Gabriella down. Sharpay and Taylor shortly joined them in the group hug, each and everyone of them trying to tell Gabriella it was going to be okay.
"It's not though! You can all say that, but your not the one who is pregnant! You don't have to rethink your future, think about what your mom is going to say, or your boyfriend. Am I going to be kicked out of college? What will everyone else say? And will I even be able to bring up this kid!?" She cried.
Zeke pulled away and looked at Gabriella. "You will be able to bring up this child Gabriella, and your going to be an amazing mom. We all know that – and you should too."
Gabriella give him a small smile. "But being a good mom doesn't solve all my other problems. Where's Troy?"
"He's down by that court he found this morning. He said he hasn't got enough training in over the road trip, and once to make sure he's in shape for college.."
"I need to see him."
"Now?"
"Now."

"Okay phone me when you need picking up, but Troy will most probably give you lift back, right?"
"I doubt it.. Once he's heard what I've got to say I wouldn't be surprised if he took the next flight home."
"I know Troy, and he's not going to take it well at first, but he's like that. He doesn't think things through – but he'll calm down, I know he will." Chad told her firmly, then playfully punched her arm. "Go get him."
"Thanks Chad, your like a brother to me, you know? And to Troy.." She said softly, then give him a quick hug and got out of the car. She walked along the sidewalk until she reached the edge of the court.
Troy was shooting the opposite way to where she was standing, so he hadn't noticed her yet. She watched him shoot the ball, and watched it going through the net every single time. How could she ruin his dream? This was his thing, and she was about to tear it away from him..
"Troy." She called out, walking closer to him.
Troy span around, and grinned. "Hey Gabs! You should have called to say you were coming, I could have picked you up. You feeling better?" He asked, pulling her into a tight hug.
"Not really.." She replied, pulling away.
"Well come on, I'll drive us both back to the hotel now and I'll even let you pick out the movie." He laughed. "Nothing too cheesy though."
"Troy." She said firmly. "I need to talk to you – now."
Troy looked at Gabriella and saw the seriousness on her face. "Okay.." He led her over to the bench which sat on the edge of the court. "What's up?" He asked once she'd sat down next to him.
"Okay now what I'm going to tell you, I know your going to hate me for it. Your going to want to throw me out of your life, and never see me again most probably. But you have to know – I didn't ask for this. This is the last thing I'd want for myself, for us."
Gabriella paused to try and stop the tears from falling from her eyes, but she couldn't. "I'm pregnant Troy."
"Your what?" Troy gasped, his face already turning pale.
"Pregnant."
Troy got up off the bench and stared at Gabriella. "You can't be.."
"I am, I took the test this morning Troy – and it was positive."
"No!" He yelled. "Why does this have the happen now!? I don't want to be a dad! I'm eighteen!"
"Are you mad at me?" Gabriella asked softly.
"I don't know." He answered, shaking his head. "Your pregnant Gab – I don't want you to have this baby."
Gabriella took a step back. "Troy I'm not having an abortion. I'm not killing some innocent baby for some mistake we made."
"Then I don't know if I want to be with you – I don't want this baby." He told her firmly.
Gabriella nodded. "Well I'm keeping it. So you can go play college basketball like you planned all these years. I'll pay for our mistake, don't you worry." She said sourly, then walked off.
--
"You let her walk off!?" Chad exclaimed once Troy had gotten back from the court.
"Yeah – she's pregnant man! How could she do this to me?! Do you think she planned this? To keep us together or something, so I wouldn't leave her!?"
Chad looked at Troy in disgust, and punched him in the face. "How dare you ask if she planned this? You know Gabriella and you know she'd never do a thing like that!" He shouted.
Troy touched his cheek, and looked up at Chad. "So your on her side?"
"Yeah, until you stop acting like a jerk – I am on her side. I know I'm going to be there for her, and if she needs help with the baby – me and Taylor are going to help."
"So you think your going to be a replacement for a father? Don't kid yourself Chad – you cant take care of yourself, never mind a baby." Troy sneered.
Zeke barged through the door and looked straight at Troy. "Did you bring Gabriella home?"
"No."
"She hasn't come back yet, the girls think she's gone missing."
Chad looked at Troy and raised his eyebrows. "I hope your happy man. Now this is your problem, so get the hell out of here – and fix it."
"How am I supposed to fix this? It's not my problem – its hers." He said stubbornly.
"You're the father of the baby, so be a man and go find Gabriella."
Firstly, can you go to college if your pregnant? Lmao, I'm not from the USA so have no idea..
Anyway, I know Troy seems like a jerk at the end of the chapter, but come on - he's just basically been told that his life is over lmao. Don't worry though in the next chapter I'll try and get a few things resolved. And also this wont be like the usual pregnant stories out there, I'm going to try and make it as realistic as I can, and anyway Gabriella's just going to be pregnant through the story - no babies shall be coming yet!
But I might make a sequel to this story? After their down with the road trip I might do an after college sequel? Thoughts.
Once again sorry for the delay in the chapter, I'll update as soon as I can!
