DISCLAIMER: I don't own HSM. Just the plot to this story.

3 months later

Gabriella sighed quietly and gently shut the trunk, running a hand down her face. She watched as her daughter walked down the stairs, her favorite stuffed animal within her tiny clutches.

"Mommy, do we have to go?" Jade whimpered, her small bottom lip trembling.

"Mommy's new job is in Albuquerque. We'll move there and you'll have new friends in noo time at all. We'll come and see Grandma allll the time." Gabriella promised, swinging the little girl to her hip.

The little girl leaned her head on her mother's shoulder, closing her eyes. Maria Montez flowed gracefully down the stairs, her teal green summer dress flowing around her ankles elegantly. Her hair was swept up in a messy bun. It suited her pleasant personality, and her naturally gorgeous features.

"Grammyyy!" Jade whimpered, reaching for her grandmother as Maria came towards the car. Maria gently took the little girl in her arms, cuddling her tightly.

"Gab, are you sure you have to go?" Maria asked as Gabriella gently took Jade and set her down on the ground.

"We do, mama. He has to know. Jade has to know him. I can't keep this from him forever. She'll want to know at some point." Gabriella said as she helped Jade into the car.

"I understand. But Gabi, please be careful. Call me when you guys get there." Maria said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter.

"Of course, Mama. I love you." Gabriella said as she hugged her mother tightly. Gabriella walked to her side of the car and slid in. She wasn't prepared for the 5 hours ahead.

"Troy?" Sharpay said as she walked into the room, sighing softly as she found her husband passed out, a baby book lying on his chest. In the past three months since Gabriella had reappeared, Troy and Sharpay had heard very little from the girl. She had phoned Troy once or twice, informing him that she was truly sorry about everything that had happened. She had also talked to Sharpay personally, apologizing for everything. She explained that her intentions were never to take Troy away. She had wished both of them luck with everything, and she had wanted to try and be friends when she moved to town for her new executive job.

Sharpay sat down beside Troy and moved the book off of his chest, gently moved her fingers through his hair. Troy cuddled against her side and moaned quietly. She giggled softly and let her hand rest against the nape of his neck. She played with the hairs there very gently, and he playfully swatted her hand away.

"Quittt. That ticklesss." He moaned softly, lacing their fingers together.

Sharpay giggled and lay down beside him, nuzzling her head against his chest. His hand found its familiar spot at her stomach, where it laid most of the time. Sharpay felt a small twinge of pain but ignored it, hoping it would just go away. She cuddled closer to Troy, a soft sigh escaping her lips as the pain disappeared.

"How was your day?" Troy whispered as he held Sharpay close, stroking her hair softly.

"It was…o...Okay." She stammered as another small pain wracked her stomach.

"Are you okay?" Troy asked as he noticed Sharpay's pained expression.

"I...I think…so…" Sharpay whimpered, her voice showing her pain.

Troy felt a liquid by his leg and he looked down, seeing red. He sat up quickly as he realized it was coming from Sharpay.

"Shar!" Troy exclaimed as the blood came faster, staining their bed sheets. Sharpay's face was wracked with pain as she gripped Troy's arm, a moan of pain escaping her lips. Tears flowed down her face as troy leaped out of the bed and knelt beside her, gripping both of her hands in his. They both knew what was happening. Troy picked up the phone near the bed and called 911.

"911, what's your emergency?"

"My wife just had a miscarriage. Please send an ambulance. She's losing a lot of blood." Troy said softly, gripping both of Sharpay's hands with his own.

"Yes sir. Don't move her too much. There will be an ambulance there momentarily."

Troy hung up the phone and rested his cheek against Sharpay's. They both sobbed, clinging to each other.

Gabriella lifted Jade out of her car seat, walking into the apartment building. She took the elevator to the third floor, and slowly opened the door that read "322". She sighed quietly as she walked inside, flipping on a light and looking around. The interior decorator that her mother had hired was absolutely perfect. Gabriella couldn't have done it better herself. She slipped off her shoes and walked down the hall, opening the door to a pale pink room, fitted with a toddler bed and a box of toys. Slowly, Gabriella laid Jade into her toddler bed, slipping off her shoes, pants and light jacket. She left her in a t-shirt and her panties, covering her up with the light blanket. Gabriella kissed her forehead and then left the room, a small nightlight illuminating the room enough so she could see.

Walking out of the room, Gabriella walked into the kitchen. She sat down slowly on the couch and laid a hand across her stomach. "I'm sure he'll accept us soon enough." She whispered, rubbing the barely visible bump that sat on her lower stomach.

Sorry it took me so long to update! I've been supaaaaa busy. But, updates will hopefully come more frequently now. At least until I get busy again. :/ Which hopefully won't be for a while. Thank you to Fairvixenmaiden and roxysmutlover for the idea for this story!
