It had been two weeks since the night that Troy gave Gabriella all of her things. They were now in the waiting room of the doctor's office.

Gabriella was impatiently tapping her foot up and down. She was trying to pretend like she was reading a parenting magazine.

Troy put his lips near his girlfriends ear. "Everything's going to be alright." He whispered.

Gabriella put the magazine down and looked at her boyfriend. "How do you know?" She asked worried. "What if the doctor tells me that something is wrong? Then what are we going to do?"

Troy laughed. It was so funny how his girlfriend worried to much. "I'm sure everything's going to be okay." Troy said with a smile. "You stayed off of your feet like the doctor told you too."

"I know, but I can't help but worry." Gabriella said putting a piece of her black hair behind her ear.

"Gabriella Montez and Troy Bolton?" A nurse holding a clipboard called out to the young couple.

"Here we are!" Troy said raising his hand. He got up from his seat and then helped Gabriella up to her feet.

The two teenagers followed the nurse into a room. "Now if Gabriella could lay down on the couch-in and put her shirt up?" The nurse asked politely.

Gabriella did as she was asked. Her heart was beating very fast. She was scared that she might not have done something wrong.

The nurse gently squeezed Gabriella stomach in different places. "Have you experienced any cramping?" She asked still squeezing her stomach.

"No, not since the accident two weeks ago." Gabriella answered thinking about it.

"Any bleeding?"

"No" Gabriella answered.

The nurse stopped squeezing her stomach and went over to a counter where there was a clip board. She wrote something down and them looked over to the couple. "The doctor will see you in a minute." She said with a warm smile.

"Okay, Thank you." Troy said waving good-bye to the nurse as she slowly left the room.

"Do you think her smile meant everything was okay?" Gabriella asked confused.

"As I said I think you and this baby are fine." Troy said giving Gabriella a reassuring smile.

After that there was a long awkward silence. Gabriella interrupted it by asking Troy a question. "So do you think the baby is a boy or a girl?" She asked excited.

"I don't know, but I do want a boy." Troy answered honestly. "What do you think it is?"

"Well, I'm thinking it's a boy, but I really want a baby girl." Gabriella answered him. "I mean I'm going to love this baby either way, but I just want a girl."

"I understand..." Troy said ending the conversation. Troy waited a while before he started up the next conversation. "So...when I was picking up some of your things at your house I looked at your phone."

Gabriella knew exactly where this was going. "And I bet you want to know who Cohen is?" She said beating him to the question.

"Yeah. I mean a guy should really be suspicious if another guy is calling his girlfriend thirty times." He said in a sort of joking way.

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "You really shouldn't have to worry about another guy calling me." She said defending herself. "I mean you should know that I love you."

"I know that, but I just want to know who this Cohen guy is?" He asked trying to keep the conversation on track. "And if I should be worried about him?" Troy thought to himself.

"Cohen was just my old boyfriend at my old school." Gabriella said sitting up on the couch-in.

"Oh...were you in love with him?" Troy asked suspiciously.

"I was a long time ago. At least I thought I was, but I'm not anymore."

"That makes no sense..."

"I thought I was in love with him. I mean when I moved out here I thought I'd never find a guy like him until I met you. Then I realized that what I had with Cohen was just puppy love. What I feel for you is true love." She said interrupting what Troy was saying.

"Why is he calling you then?"

"What is this 20 questions?" Gabriella asked getting kind of irritated.

"No, but I think I deserve to know why an old boyfriend of my girlfriend is calling her." He asked raising his voice a little.

"We kept in touch, alright!" She said shrugging her shoulders. "We saw each other once in a while when I moved out here, but we didn't do anything." She said quickly. "We used to talk every night on the phone and I guess he was probably worried that I hadn't answered my phone in a while."

"So why is this the first time I'm hearing his name?" Troy asked. "Does he know about me?" He was getting real angry for some reason.

"Yes, when I broke up with him I told him I had found someone. Actually he kind of became my best friend, and most of our conversations ended up being about you."

"If nothing happened than why didn't you ever tell me about him?"

"I never told you because of how your acting right now. I know how jealous you get, and I love you way to much for something so dumb to break us up." She said kind of pleading.

Troy calmed down and looked at Gabriella who looked like she was really worried about loosing him. He went over to her and gave her a passionate kiss on the lips. "I'm so sorry for getting so upset." He apologized. "I know that you would never cheat on me."

Gabriella gave Troy a weak smile. She couldn't help but feel guilty about lying to him. Her and Cohen had kissed once when she was going out with Troy, but she set him straight about her feelings about Troy and Cohen never tried anything again. She shrugged the feeling off. "I mean it was only a kiss. How much harm could it cause?" She thought to herself.

"So, Ms. Montez you look fine. Well at least that's what the nurse thinks." Doctor Lipter said entering the room. She was so busy studying the clip board that she was holding that she didn't even notice the two of them kissing.

Gabriella quickly stopped kissing Troy. She never was really was the type for Public Display Of Affection.

"Well, you are two weeks further than when I saw you two weeks ago." Dr. Lipter said laughing at her joke. "So if you guys really want I can probably tell you the sex of the baby?"

Gabriella looked at Troy. "Do you want to know?" She asked.

"Yeah, do you want to?" Troy asked his girlfriend. "I mean it's all up to you." He said putting up his hands.

"I guess we do want to know the sex of the baby then." Gabriella said with a smile.

Dr. Lipter nodded her head. "So I'll show you guys the baby, and then we will take a few vaginal exams, and then I will see you guys in another two weeks. Does that sound good to the both of you?"

Gabriella nodded. "I think I'm fine with the plan."

Dr. Lipter got pulled the sonogram machine closer to the couch in. "It's the same thing as last time."

Gabriella pulled her shirt up just like she did last time, and just like last time the gel was cold, but not as cold as it was the first time.

"Now" Dr. Lipter said moving the handle of the machine around on Gabriella's stomach. She finally found where the baby was and turned the volume up.

The baby's heartbeat fluttered through the whole room again.

Dr. Lipter's voice looked confused.

"What's the matter?" Gabriella asked worriedly. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, the baby is fine. It's just that I can't tell the sex of the baby." She stated.

"What do you think it's one of those hermaphrodite people?" Troy asked scared. He didn't want his child to come out with two things.

"No" Dr. Lipter laughed. "The baby's legs are closed so we can't tell weather it's a boy or a girl." She said still laughing at what Troy had said. "Hopefully the next doctor's visit the baby might open it."

"Oh, thank god!" Troy said putting his hand on his chest and breathing in and out. He literally stopped breathing when he thought that his child might be a hermaphrodite.

The rest of the doctor visit went fine. Everything seemed fine with Gabriella and the baby, and now Gabriella was officially off of bed rest.

Bolton/Montez Apartment:

Troy and Gabriella walked inside of their apartment.

"Yes, I'm finally off of bed rest!" Gabriella yelled exited.

"I'm happy that your happy." Troy said looking at his girlfriend. Her arms were up in the air in excitement. Which made her shirt pull up and stop covering her baby bump. He couldn't help but stare and be glad that Gabriella wasn't getting fat. Her stomach was getting bigger, but her face and everything else stayed the same.

After Gabriella was done celebrating she went over to her boyfriend and gave him kiss. Then she whispered in his ear "You won't believe how unbelievably horny I am." Then she started to kiss his neck softly.

Troy's whole body was melting in the arms of Gabriella. It killed him that he couldn't stay. He backed away from her gently.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked getting angry.

"I wish that I could stay and have sex with you, but I have be at work in ten minutes." He apologized.

"I understand...I mean you do have to bring in money?" She said clearly irritated.

"But as soon as I come back...I promise that I'll make it up to you." He said in a seductive voice. He went up to Gabriella and kissed her lips softly.

After the kiss Troy practically ran out of the door. He promised his boss that he wasn't going to be late anymore, and he hadn't broken his promise sense.

After Troy left Gabriella felt like she was alone. She went over to the dirty couch that they still had and turned on the television. She turned through the seven channels that they had and then stopped at a soap opera called General Hospital.

She watched about a half hour of it when the door bell rang. She turned off the television and opened the door. Then their in her presence was her mother who looked like she had just been in a fight with somebody.

"Can I come in?" She asked kind of pleading.

"Sure.." Gabriella said really low. She didn't really want to let her mom in, but she had a lot to say to her.

Mariah walked inside of her daughters apartment for the first time. She really didn't want to talk about anything, but what she was here for.

"What the hell do you want?" Gabriella asked in a harsh tone.

"I want to tell you I'm sorry and explain myself." Mariah answered her daughters question in a small tone of voice. She looked at Gabriella. She couldn't believe how much she looked like her father. The only thing that they had in common was their black hair.

"You have five minutes..." Gabriella said looking at the clock that was programed into the stove.

"Alright, then let me start form the beginning." She said walking over to her daughter and looking her in the eye. "When your father died I became extremely depressed. So I buried myself into my work, and made my whole life about you and work. Then one night my friends forced me to go to a club where I met Antonio."

Gabriella cringed at the name of Antonio. She didn't even want to think about him anymore.

"When I met him he made me laugh, and made me feel good. I hadn't felt that ever since your father died. But all of that happiness came at a price. He also showed me drugs and alcohol." She said with a tear running down her face.

"I thought that I had it under control, I really did, but than I started to get addicted to it. I couldn't go a day without having a drink or smoking a blunt. I guess I never really realized that until the day that I saw you on the floor in pain."

"So why didn't you say?" Gabriella asked her mother. She had wanted to know that answer for a while. "And why did you have to go to Antonio? Wasn't I enough?"

Another tear ran down Mariah's face. "After your father died all I could see was him and you, and I guess that I just got so upset that god took him away from me."

"Why are you here?" Gabriella asked angrily. "Are you here to ruin my life some more?" Gabriella screamed. "Because right now my life is actually pretty good."

"No, I'm here to make my peace with you." Mariah said touching her daughters face.

A tear was now running from Gabriella's eye. "Why?" She asked her voice was cracking from crying.

"Because Antonio was going crazy late last night. He was trying to kill me and before he killed me I had to kill him. The police are already looking for me..."

"Mom, no!" Gabriella screamed and cried. "You can't leave not now. I need you!" She pleaded.

"If I stay I'm liable to get the death sentence. I have to leave and at least try to save my life." She said hugging her daughter. "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going to have to change my name. So don't try to look for me." Mariah stopped hugging her daughter and looked at her.

"So that's it?" Gabriella asked trying not to cry. "So your just going to leave?" Gabriella asked she started to get angry. How could her mom just leave without even trying to stay?

"No that's not it." Mariah answered her daughters question. She put her hand on her daughters stomach. "I want you to be a way better mother than I ever was to you. I want you to take care of my grandchild."

"You will never be able to see your grandchild and your grandchild will never be able to see you!" She said getting upset all over again. Her emotions were everywhere.

"I know and trust me thats going to be the second hardest part of leaving. The first is not being able to see you grow up into a beautiful woman and mother."

"Mom, please?" She pleaded again "You can't leave we can fight threw this."

"Sorry, Gabby. I have to go." She gave her daughter a kiss on the cheek. "You're going to be a great mother." She whispered in her ear, and with that last comment she left.

Gabriella watched as her mother left. She stood there with her arms crossed as tears ran down her face. She stood there staring at the door hoping that her mother would just walk back in and say "I can't leave you. I've decided to fight it."

2 hours later...

"I'm home!" Troy screamed as he walked inside of the apartment. "Gabriella?" He screamed looking for her.

"In the bedroom!" She answered while screaming.

Troy walked into the bedroom with a smile on his face. It quickly turned into a frown when he saw his girlfriend in the bed looking sick. "Are you alright?" He asked concerned.

"Yeah.."

"Are you sire you look sick?" He said sitting next to her on the bed. "I mean your nose is red, your eyes are red and puffy, and your hair looks a mess. What happened?"

"Oh..nothing except my mom killed Antonio and is now probably on Americas most Wanted." She said sarcastically.

Troy laughed at what his girlfriend just said.

"Thats not funny!" Gabriella yelled and playfully hit Troy.

"I'm sorry I should care about your feelings. How does that make you feel?"

"I guess I feel like an orphan now. I mean my dad died and my mom left and changed her name, so I guess I am an orphan."

"No your not because you still have a family." Troy said laying down and cuddling her. "You have me and this baby."

"I know, but..."

"But nothing." Troy interrupted Gabriella's sentence. "We are your new family." Troy said with a smile.

"Alright am I missing something?"

Troy got up off of the bed and whispered in Gabriella's ear. "Get up."

"Why?" Gabriella asked suspiciously. "What's going on?"

"It's a surprise." Troy said smiling some more.

"You do know that I hate surprises, right?" Gabriella asked not in the mood. All she wanted to do was sit in the bed a sulk about her miserable life.

"Well I have a feeling your going to like this one."

Troy led Gabriella into the living room. "Now I wanted to do this in a more romantic way, but we can't afford a more romantic place so I hope this will do."

"What are you doing?" Gabriella asked confused.

Troy went down on one knee than he took out a small box.

"Troy?" Gabriella asked with a smile on her face.

"Gabriella Montez will you marry me?"

Gabriella frown quickly turned into a big smile. "Yes, Troy Bolton I will marry you." She yelled.

Troy put the ring on her finger and then gave her a hug.

After the hug Gabriella looked at her finger. The ring Troy had given her was small, didn't have that many diamonds, and wasn't the ring she had thought she would get, but it was good enough for her.

"Sorry, that we can't afford for me to buy you the ring that you wanted." Troy apologized.

Gabriella turned around. "No it's fine. I mean we should save as much money as we can. Plus. its better than nothing." She said with a smile.

"I'm glad that you said that because I want to have our wedding in about a year."

"What?" Gabriella asked.

" I want to give you the best wedding that I can. I should have saved up enough money to at least afford a church and priest by a couple of months."

"Are you kidding me?" Gabriella asked the rhetorical question. "I mean you still have to pay for the dresses. tuxedos, limos, and you need to pay for people to do the make-up and hair."

"I know, but I don't think we should rush into this marriage."

"I want to get married before this baby comes. I mean it's bad enough it was conceived out of wed-lock and now its gonna be born out of wed-lock too."

"I don't want to fight alright!" Troy said getting irritated. "I mean what's with us these days? It seems like all we do is fight."

"I know, and I hate fighting to, but we aren't just a regular teenage couple. We are trying to start a family at the age of eighteen and seventeen."

"Well, I'm tired of arguing. All I want to do is get married to you and have this baby." Troy said gently.

"I love that you hate arguing." Gabriella said walking up to Troy and rubbing his arm gently.

"I love everything about you." Troy whispered into her ear.

"Do you want to do what I want to do?" Gabriella asked really getting into the mood of things.

"Will it hurt the baby?" Troy asked a little worried.

"No, I read the pamphlet's. They said it's fine for the baby, and it will make me feel a lot better."

Troy scooped Gabriella up and started to kiss her on her neck.

Gabriella giggled loudly as her boyfriend carried her into the bathroom.
