Author's Note: Sorry for not updating in a long time! But I had the power to write! And This chapter... it's ehh. But the next one is going to be a bit better. :)


Cinderella walked on broken glass
Sleeping Beauty let a whole lifetime pass
Belle fell in love with a hideous beast,
Jasmine married a common thief,
Ariel walked on land for love and life,
Snow White barely escaped a knife.

because love means facing your biggest fears."

Fairytale happy endings do come true. – Unknown


It Started In A Wal-Mart Parking Lot

Chapter Ten: Ariel got her Prince Eric and a little more in the sequel movie…hmm… Me and Troy? No way…. could that happen to us? Oh shit.

.*.*.*.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Ta-

"Fuck my life! Stop tapping your damn pen, Gabriella!" Trinity screamed at me. I gave her a look and then saw my brother coming from their bedroom. He gave me the stink eye. Wtfudge.

"Trin, what's wrong babe?" Aaron asked coming towards his 6 month pregnant girlfriend.

"You stupid sister won't stop tapping her pen!" Trinity cried. Ohmygod. I swear I'm never getting pregnant, too many damn hormones.

"Gabs, please?" Aaron asked. I looked at him and nodded.

"I'm sorry, Trinity," I told her.

She looked at me and sighed, "Its okay Gabriella. I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm so hormonal and it's crazy." She laughed a bit and I smiled at her.

I was sitting in their living room of their apartment, writing an essay for one of my classes over at U of A. I'd had followed Troy into the same college, and I loved it. I loved being able to see him in school…even though we didn't have any classes together.

I was going to major in Literature and minor in photography. I was kind of surprised to chose this, but I just thought of it last moment….and the fact that my counselor had me take a career test and so far I'm loving my classes.

It's now September 18th, 2010. In one month, Troy will be twenty years old. It feels weird to be dating someone that is like two years older. Wait scratch that out. If fucking feels great and he's so sweet to me. Aww, these are the moments.

No they aren't.

What the fuck! I haven't talked to you in months!

Well I decided today is the day, I make my presence known.

I already know your there, dumbo.

Well, whatever.

Yeah, sure.

So…Uhh…how's life?

It's good. Ohhh! I finally had Troy's ring engraved.

Ohhh, did you put what you were going to put on it?

Yep! And he loved it! He wears it on his ring finger too.

Aren't you supposed to wear it on the right hand?

NO...I mean you can, but we like the left hand.

So…have you and Troy taken the next big step?

What big step?

Hello! Sex!

Umm….

No Way!

I'm leaving this conversation.

NO! Stay and answer my question!

BYE!

That was the most awkward conversation; I've ever had to myself. And the whole sex thing? It's private and personal…. Okay so only Sharpay knows. And it was once. It was amazing. Troy did everything right and he's so amazing. And it happened like two weeks ago.

The next day, I had this glow and Sharpay automatically knew I had sex with Troy. How she knew? I have no idea. She's got this weird radar for things, especially telling if you're gay. I don't even know.

"GABI!" I whipped my head around to look at Trinity and she gave me a weird look. "You okay?" she asked me.

I nodded me head. "Yeah, why?"

"I don't know…Well anyway I was asking you if you've talked to my brother today." She asked.

"Which one?" I asked, teasing her, knowing who she was talking about.

"Troy, you idiot. You know your boyfriend!" she spoke.

"Ohhh, okay. I didn't know if you were talking about him or not," I spoke with a giggle. She took a pillow and threw it at me. I laughed and smiled at her. "Yeah I talked to him this morning. He was on his way to work."

"Oh he didn't have class today?" she asked.

"Nope, he never has class on Tuesdays."

"And neither do you..." she trailed off.

"Yeah, weird right?"

She smiled at me and just looked at me for a second. "He really loves you, you know," she told me.

"I know and I love him too."

She grinned at me. "Good. I like you and I want you to stay in this family."

"Regardless, if we broke up, I'd still be in the family because of this little one," I said putting a hand on her expanding belly. She giggled and started rubbing her belly.

"I'm so nervous," she told me.

"Why? You're going to be a great mother and Aaron is going to be an amazing father."

"Thank you Gabi," She said with tears in her eyes.

"No problem," I said and I looked behind her and saw my brother smiling at me and then went into the kitchen and started making something to eat.


"OHMYGODDD! It hurts so much!" Sharpay whined.

I was lying across her bed reading a magazine and listening to her bitch about many things. At the moment, it was her period.

"Have you taken any Midol?" I asked her, as I flipped the page.

"No, I ran out." She spoke and looked over at me. I looked at her and she kept looking at me. She was studying me. Oh shit, there is going to something terrible coming from her mouth now.

"Why are you not in pain either, Missy?" She asked me, venom in her voice.

"I'm not on my period?" I asked in a question form.

"Exactly! We always have the same period." She stated.

"We do?" I asked. She nodded her head, her brown locks shaking as she nodded. I sat up on the bed and she stared at me.

"Yes, we do. We always have since we were thirteen." She told me. Huh? I didn't know that. Weird.

"So what's your point?" I asked her.

She rolled her eyes at me and got up, "I'm on my period and you're not. You missed your period."

"What? I never miss my period. It's always on the same date of every month." I told her, getting my little calendar from my purse and checking. I was two days late. That's not fucking possible.

"When did you and Troy have sex again?" I shot my head up at her words. Sex. With Troy. Did he use protection? Yes! Because I saw him get a condom out.

"But we used protection…" I stated.

Sharpay looked at me with her hazel eyes and narrowed them. "Condoms break, Gabriella."

"Shit."

"Fuck."

"Oh no… this can't be happening…" I muttered, shaking. There was one thing I didn't want ever, and that was getting pregnant in my teen years. I'm only seventeen years old! I'm so fucking stupid! I should have told Troy, I wanted to wait. But no! I was ready, I really was. And I love Troy! We've been dating for almost 10 months! This is crazy.

Sharpay must of sensed me freaking out inside and placed her hand on my arm. "Stop freaking out. Maybe you're not pregnant." I gave her an evil look and she sighed. "Let's go get a pregnancy test."

Holy shit. I might be pregnant. This is not good, at all.

"SHARPAY! No! We can't go to wal-mart!" I screamed at her, as she drove us to get a test.

"It's the only place near my house!" she screamed back at me, "Besides, I need some Midol." She muttered and I sighed. This was horrible.

She pulled up into the parking lot of wal-mart and we got out. I was fidgeting badly.

"Stop it!" Sharpay screeched in the parking lot. People glanced at us and then continued to what they were doing. Sharpay placed her hands on my shoulders and steadied me. "You can't be like this going in. People are going to think you are on drugs. Now I'm going to buy the test and Midol and say they're mine, okay?" I wanted to cry. I have the best friend in the whole entire world. I wrapped my arms around her and she hugged me back.

"C'mon, We got to go see if you're going to be a mama, or not." She joked. I pulled back from the hug and glared at her. She laughed and we walked towards the entrance of Wal-mart and walked in. I saw Darla talking to customers and she waved at me as I passed her and I smiled. Sharpay and I made our way towards the medicine aisle and got her Midol. We then walked towards the tampon and pads and stopped when we saw the pregnancy tests and condoms.

"Which one do we get?" I asked quietly.

"Let's just get the EPT one." She said.

"What if it doesn't work?" She glared at me and grabbed a couple more and then we made our way to the cashier. I looked up and saw Markus was behind the cashier. Damnit to hell. He'd tell Troy. Troy! He works today! Shit!

"Hey ladies," Markus spoke, smiling at us. Sharpay smiled and just threw the stuff on the thingy mcbob. Markus glanced at our items and then quickly looked at me.

"Gabriella, are you?" He asked.

"Nope! They're for me," Sharpay spoke. "Now can you hurry up?"

"Why do you need Midol then?" he asked, as Sharpay handed him cash for the stuff.

"The Midol is for me." I spoke. Sharpay smiled and nodded.

"Hmm, okay. Whatever you say," He spoke giving me a look. He totally knew.

After he gave Sharpay her change, we walked away and started making our way towards the exit. We were about to leave when I heard my name being called.

"Gabi!" Troy's voice shouted. I turned around and saw him. I smiled timidly to him and went towards him.

"Gabi, I'm going to bring the car around," Sharpay said and I nodded. I went towards Troy and he opened his arms and I gave him a big hug. He kissed the top of my head and looked down at me.

"Were you just going to leave without saying hi to me?" he teased. I laughed and sighed.

"We're in a hurry, that's why, I'm sorry Wal-mart boy." I teased him. He laughed and gave me another big hug.

"Well I get off at five today, Mom invited everyone for dinner tonight. Even your parents." He spoke. I gave him a look. "I'm serious." I laughed and nodded.

"Umm, Sharpay is going to give me a ride, so I'll see you later, Troy." I told him and started walking away.

"I love you." He said and I turned back around.

"I love you too," I said and smiled at him.

"So it says to pee on the stick and wait like 3-5 minutes, and if two pink lines come up, you're pregnant!" Sharpay spoke. I glared at her and took the pregnancy test from her hand and went and did my business. I did a couple more and Sharpay and I waited on the edge of her bathtub for the results.

"What are you going to do, if you're pregnant?" I shrugged my shoulders. I don't know. I mean our family will probably be supportive….but mom and dad will be disappointed because of my age.

"I honestly don't know Shar, I just don't know." I whispered.

Sharpay wrapped her arms around me and we then heard the timer go off, that we had set.

I nervously got up and grabbed one of the sticks and wanted to die.

It was positive. I looked at the other four we did and they all said positive. No…


"So then she asked me to bring her ice cream and ketchup," Aaron told the table. Everyone broke out into laughter and looked at Trinity.

"Hey! It's good stuff!" Trinity spoke and smiled and rubbed her belly.

I was sitting at the dining table at the Bolton house surrounded by everyone. Chase, Mia, Harley and baby Declan, Noah and Cassie, Trinity, Aaron, Connor and Leighton, Leah, Jack, Lucille, Mom and Dad and Troy. We were all eating dessert and just talking about a good time.

"Hey Gabi, so Markus said he checked you and Sharpay out today…and he mentioned something…" Troy spoke and everyone brought their attention towards us. Why the fuck is he bringing this up here and now?

"Yeah?" I asked, looking at him.

"Is Sharpay pregnant?" I heard the table gasp. I blanked. Should I just tell them all here and now? I saw Lucille and Mom looking directly at me.

"Um, Yeah. She is." I spoke, stood up and grabbed my plate and excused myself to the kitchen. I couldn't have them looking at me like that. I just lied to my family. I placed my plate into the sink and washed it. I can't believe I'm pregnant. I felt tears rolling down my eyes and I started crying softly. I shrunk to the floor and placed my head in my hands. I felt someone come beside me and place their hand on my head.

I looked through my fingers and saw my mom's scrubs and Lucille's show. Two someones.

"Gabi…Sharpay's not pregnant is she?" Lucille spoke. I looked up and shook my head. Mom got on the ground beside me and pulled me into her arms.

Lucille got on other side of me and started rubbing my back. "It's you, isn't?" Mom asked me. I just nodded, I wasn't going to lie.

"Oh baby," Lucille whispered.

"I didn't mean for this to happen, mom! We used protection, I swear." I whispered into the kitchen to them.

"It's okay, baby," mom said and started rocking me.

"I don't know what to do," I said and pulled back from mom's embrace.

"Does Troy know?" Lucille asked. I shook my head and she sighed.

"You need to tell him," Mom told me. I nodded.

"Can you tell him to come in here?" I asked one of them. They both nodded and left the room together. Not a second later, I saw Troy come into the kitchen. He saw my red eyes and got on the ground beside me.

"What's wrong, baby?" he asked.

"Sharpay's not pregnant." I told him.

"But you said she was…" he said.

"I lied. I'm pregnant, Troy." I said and looked at him.

"Holy shit."

"Yeah, that's what I thought too." I told him.

"But we used protection," he said.

"It must have broken…God, Troy I'm only 17 years old! I don't want to have a baby." I whispered and tears started pouring down again and he wrapped me in his arms.

"It's okay, Gabi…We'll sort this out. I promise. I'm not leaving you or this baby, I swear." I cried even harder.

How am I going to do this?

Ariel had it easy; she was a fucking Disney character. Fuck you Disney fucking princess. Fuck you.
