Chapter 9

Disclaimer: Again. I don't own High School Musical, but if I did, I would be rich...hehehe. I do, however own this plot.

Troy took Gabby's hand and walked her over to the bed. They both sat down next to each other silent for a few minutes while Gabriella got her words and courage together. She was the first to speak.

"Troy, I need to talk to you. What it is that I need to tell you, I need to you think about. I mean really think about it. Don't get mad."

"Ok, this sounds important." said Troy.

Before Gabriella could speak again, she breathed in and then let it out slowly. She looked into Troy's eyes. She knew that she had to talk to him. it was now or never.

"Well, lately I've been thinking if the right thing to do is give the baby up for adoption." said Gabriella.

"What? Did your mom put you up to this?" asked Troy.

"No. Why would you say that? I just think that maybe the baby should grow up with a family that can give it a great life."

"And you don't think that it would have a great life here with it's birth parents?" asked Troy.

"That's not what I'm saying Troy. I'm saying that maybe we are too young to deal with this right now. And by the way, it's not an "It". We're having a girl." said Gabriella.

"When did you find out?" asked Troy.

"I don't know, a while ago."

"A while ago, and your just telling me this now? What else have you been keeping from me?" asked Troy.

"I didn't tell you because I'm just so confused. I don't know what to do. This is probably the biggest decision of our lives, and I want to make sure that I choose right." said Gabriella.

"Why is everything about what you decide? This is our baby. Not just yours. We need to make this decision together."

"I can't even talk to you right now." said Gabriella.

Gabriella turned around and stormed out of Troy's bedroom. She was so mad at him. Why couldn't see from her point of view? They were too young for this. Couldn't he see that? At first she was happy maybe a little excited about the baby. But the more that she got to think about it, the more it scared her. She didn't want to have a baby now. She wanted to go off to college. Maybe go to Harvard, and Troy was going to go to Yale on a basketball scholarship, and after that, he would try to be drafted into the NBA. Was he willing to give up all that for their love? And for a baby that they were too young to have? These thoughts just kept replaying in her mind. Over and over again. Before she knew it she was back at her house. She went in the front door, and saw her mother sitting in the living room.

"Hey sweety. How was it at Troy's?" asked Mrs. Montez.

"Let's just say that it didn't go as planned." said Gabriella.

She didn't even wait for her mother to answer. She headed up to her room, and slammed the door. She walked over to her bed, and grabbed her pillow. She held her pillows tight, and started to cry. Soon she drifted off to sleep.
