Chapter 9

"How could you two be so careless?" Maria exclaimed as Jack entered the room, closing the door behind them leaving Chad in charge of the entertainment.

"Huh?" Troy asked completely confused.

"You two have been back together a month and you are already pregnant. I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason you two are back together and pretending to play happy families is because you are having a baby together." Troy and Gabriella were completely astounded at Julie's words. Jack looked on in sympathy at the two wondering why the moms were acting like this.

"Have either of you thought that this isn't about just Gabriella being pregnant. How could we have known Gabriella was pregnant when we got together? We were together for 2 years in high school and they were the best years of my life. Both of you were happy when we got back together so why not now?" Troy angrily asked as Gabriella had tears slowly flowing down her face knowing that her mom didn't support her.

"Because when it was just you two messing around like it has been for the past few weeks its fine because there was no one else involved. The two of you have only just made up after not talking in six years. We don't want to see this child get stuck in the middle of one of your rows after witnessing what happened last time." Maria told them as Gabriella ran out the kitchen with Jack following.

"See what you've done now. This may not of been planned but we both want to be with each other and we want to give our child the best possible life ever. All I know is that we love each other and nothing is going to tear us apart again. I thought I might have this problem with dad but not with you. We're giving you a grandchild and if you can't agree to support us then we don't want you in our lives." Troy walked out the back door out into the back yard to calm down. The mothers were left speechless.

Upstairs with Gabriella and Jack

Gabriella ran straight to their room knowing that Jack was following. He followed her in and closed the door behind him so the others would know to stay out. Gabriella cried into Jack's chest as he hugged her.

"I'm sure the mother's didn't mean what they said. They were probably just in shock and are worried about the two of you getting hurt. And anyway if they don't support you then you can count on me for everything. I can't wait to start teaching this little one how to play basketball." Jack said placing his hand on her still flat stomach trying to reassure her. Gabriella regained herself as she looked at Jack.

"I have never not had my mom's support on anything and I just wish she would be happy about this like I am. I love Troy. I really do. I know we didn't plan for this baby but I'm so glad it's happened because I love this baby already and I can't wait for it to be born. I always thought my mom would be happy when I told her I was pregnant with her first grandchild. The same for Mrs Bolton. Troy and I always used to plan how many kids we wanted and how we would tell you guys and how excited you would all be that we would get sick of it." Gabriella explained. Jack smiled at her as another voice spoke.

"And we are happy about it." They looked to the side to see Julie and Maria standing there.

"But mom why would you say all those things before then?" Gabriella asked as Troy walked in past their mothers and sat on the other side of the bed wrapping his arms around Gabriella who leaned back against him.

"I guess we were both just in shock." Maria started.

"I remember the day Troy came home after he finished with you and he was hurting so much that I never wanted to see him like that again." Julie said as Jack smiled at the couple.

"And you Gabi never really got over Troy. I saw how much you hated him for it and I guess we just both wanted to protect you." Troy kissed Gabriella on the head.

"So does this mean you want to be a part of your grandchild's life and are happy for us?" Gabriella asked as Troy placed his hands on her tummy.

"What do you think?" Julie replied as they came and sat on the bed hugging Troy and Gabriella as Jack stood back and watched shaking his head.

"You do realize you are never going to get rid of them being around now. And especially you Troy since me and your mom have decided to move up here." Jack announced as Troy looked at his parents in shock.

"You serious?" Troy asked as his mom nodded. "Well at least this baby will know who its family is. Oh and dad we want the mom's to help out as much as they want within reason." Gabriella laughed before they all decided to head back downstairs to the gang. They spent the rest of the night celebrating their engagement and the pregnancy before everyone left.
