Chapter 10

"Gabs, get the phone." I tell her.

"Why? Is something wrong? What does it say."

"Well, either way you need to call someone..."

"Troy! Don't make me have to hurt you. Tell me what it says."

"Well, it says congradulations." I know, I'm beating around the bush, but I'm not sure which result she wants.

"Congradulations? That's it? Give mt that." She snatched the test from my hand and read. "How accurate is this thing?! This can't be right." She began to shufflel around looking for the box. "99.9 accurrcy. So that means..."

"It's pretty safe to say." She sat down on her tub. Sighing deeply, she rested her head in her hands.

"Troy. I can't be...I can't be a mother. Not now. I'm supposed to be married first. I promised my mother I would follow the song." What?

"Song?"

"You know...first comes love, then comes marriage, THEN comes Gabi with a baby carriage." I laughed.

"Gabs, what are you worried about? You're gonna be fine." She looked up at me.

"Are you serious? Have you seen the way I am with kids? I can't take all the constant crying and whining. I'm no good with them at all. This baby is gonna hate me. I bet it does already..." Gabriella took a sudden intrest in her shoes. I took a seat next to her and wrapped her in my arms.

"Gabi, this baby is going to love you. No matter what, you'll be the mother. I'm sure you'll get used to all of the crying and everything." She smiled at me.

"What about my family?"

"Well, I'm sure they'll be okay with it. Right now, you need to call and set up an appointment with the doctor." She nodded.

"Troy?"

"Mhm?"

"I'm gonna have a baby!" She beamed. I laughed at her. She skipped out of the bathroom singing 'I'm gonna have a baby'. It was terribly cute. I know it may seem like I'm happy about her being pregnant, but I'm just a bit scared. The chance that the baby is mine is still questionable. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have a child with her, but I just...can't be fully happy until I know that it is definitely my baby. "Okay, our appointment is next month on Tuesday." Gabriella stated re-entering the room. "Are you okay?" I knew she was worried. Okay Troy, time to use those acting skills.

"Okay? I'm awesome! You're having a baby!" I smiled, lieing through my teeth.

"Great. We need to go break the news to my family now. Um, Just stay behind me. I don't want Johnny trying to kill you." She joked. I chuckled.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Troy, Gabi! What brings you here?" Barbra Montez asked. Gabriella's hand slipped into mine and she gave it a small squeeze.

"Mom, is everyone here?" Barb nodded. "Can you tell them to me us in the family room?" Barb left to gather everyone up.

"Are you sure you wanna tell them now?" I asked, just making sure. Gabriella hesitated before shaking her head yes. Soon, we were all in the room together. Everyone was silent. I could tell that the sweet brunette beside me was nervous. She was shaking, and occassionally taking deep breaths.

"Okay, so I-we have something to tell you all." Gabi began. She took my hand once again and squeezed it. I lifted the both of our hands and kissed hers.

"Okay, we hate to stop this lovey mushy moment, but we do have lives. We can't wait here all day." Johnny spoke. He had no idea what was going on. He's pressuring her. She doesn't do so well. "Hello?! Come on! We were in the middle of a very important game." Gabriella closed her eyes. I'm guessing she was imagining the different paths this could take. "Are you gonna tell us or what?!"

"I'm pregnant! Okay Johnny?! I'm having a baby. That's the news. You can go back to your stupid little game." She snapped, never letting go of my hand. I didn't want her to either. I wanted her to know that I was there for her. Everyone was silent. No one spoke. They all possessed blank expressions.

"G-Gabriella? You're p-preg-pregnant?" She nodded and closed her eyes. "Well, thats wonderful. I've been waiting for a grandchild for what seems like forever!" Barbra spoke. We let out laughter that was full of relief(if that makes any sense). Enormous smiles spread across our faces.

"Yay! Now I won't be all alone." Alex squealed.

"So that's why you asked all those questions." Ricky breathed.

"I never would've guessed." Johnny murmered.

"How sweet!" Leslie gushed.

"You're not mad?" I asked, still unsure.

"Yeah, I mean this isn't exactly following the song." Gabriella added.

"Mad?! No way! Gabriella, that song was for children anyways. You're an adult now, besides I've always said you two will make gorgeous babies!" I turned to Gabriella and watched as her smile faded.

"That's the other part mom. Um, I'm not really sure how to say this..."

"Do the best you can Gabriella. We're all here for you." Leslie encoraged. Gabriella took a deep breath and began telling the news.

"There'sachancethatthisbabymightbeJason's..." I knew no one understood her. Heck, I barely understood her.

"Huh? Could you repeat that?" Ricky asked.

"There's a chance that this baby might be Jason's." She spoke quietly. She gripped my hand even tighter. Everyone around us was silent. I need to do something.

"But, no matter who this baby's father is, I'll treat it like its my own." I proclaimed. Mrs. Montez smiled. I grinned sheepishly.

"As long as that baby is loved, I don't care who the father is." Johnny, surprisingly spoke.

"Thanks Troy." Gabriella's soft voice said, as she leaned in and sweetly kissed my cheek.

"We should be getting home, Gabs needs her rest." They all nod, and we make our way to the door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The minute I opened her door, Gabi rushed to the bathroom. I'm guessing she need to throw up. I walk in, and spot her holding the pregnancy test in her hands. I stand behind her and wrap my arms around her waist from behind. She leans back into my chest, still staring at the small stick that will change our lives. "Did you really mean what you said back there?"

"Of course. Gabi, no matter what I'm gonna be there. There's not one thing in this world that can stop me." She smiled.

"I really hope you're the father. Maybe we can find out at the doctor's office." I chuckled.

"I'm not sure, but we can try."

"Good." She laughs. After a few moments, she speaks again. "Troy..." Her voice speaks in a hush tone.

"Mhm?"

"We're going to have a baby!" She laughs. I join in with her. She smiles brightly and brings our hands to her stomatch. "Our baby is in there." She's still beaming with joy. And looking up into the mirrior...I find that I am too...
