A month had passed by since Troy moved into his e w house

A month had passed by since Troy moved into his e w house. Troy was happy because he could spend as much time as he wanted with Gabriella.

Troy and Chad were coaching the basketball team, when Troy remembered the day that he had gotten his job.

FLASHBACK

"Guys," Coach Durham had said loudly to his team. "Meet your new coaches Troy Bolton and Chad Danforth.

"What's going on coach?" Troy asked.

"I'm retiring," Coach Durham said. "I made a promise to myself that I shall find a coach for this team."

"Why'd you choose the both of us?" Chad asked.

"The last time my team won the statewide championship was when you two were co-captains of the team," Coach Durham answered. "With you two as co-coaches, the Wildcats are sure to win again."

"We'll make that happen," Troy grinned.

"You can count on us," Chad grinned.

END FLASHBACK

After practice had ended, Troy went home to find Gabriella, sitting on his doorstep. She was looking both scared and upset.

"Gabriella, what's wrong?" Troy asked. He opened the door to let Gabriella into the house.

"I…I think," Gabriella began and then she hesitated.

"Go on, Gabriella," Troy said encouragingly. He put his arms around her in a hug.

"I think I'm pregnant," Gabriella blurted out.

"What?" Troy pulled away from Gabriella.

"I mean, I'm late" Gabriella said, tears in her voice. "And, I've been throwing up all week."

"Well, um…" Troy was not sure about what to say. "Have you taken a test or something?"

Gabriella shook her head. "I'm scared, Troy."

"Well, okay, I…" once again Troy was a loss for words. "I'll go to the pharmacy, shall I? There's one nearby. I'll be back in a minute. Stay here, okay?"

Before Gabriella could say a word, Troy had run out of the house. She sighed as she sat down by the kitchen table. She had never felt so scared or lonely. She thought that Troy was going to leave her if she was pregnant.

Once he was out of the pharmacy door, Troy stopped. He could not believe what was happening. Gabriella might be pregnant. He might become a father and he was scared to death.

"Gabriella?" he called as he walked into the house.

"Yeah," Gabriella looked up.

Wordlessly, Troy handed her the test and Gabriella went to the bathroom. A few minutes later, she came back. Troy looked up as she entered the room he caught her eye and stood up waiting to hear the news. He could not read her expression.

"I'm pregnant," Gabriella whispered, her voice barely audible.

She started crying and turned to go back into the bathroom, but, Troy had wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug.

"I'm sorry, Troy," she sobbed into his shirt. "I'm not trying to trap you or anything."

"I'm not trapped," Troy said. "I mean, I can leave if I want to, right?"

"Yeah," Gabriella said, softly. She could not believe what she was hearing. After all those years, Troy was going to leave her. "I'm going to miss you, Troy."

"Ella, I'm not going to leave you," Troy laughed. "About five years ago, I gave you my class ring, because, you are the girl that I intend to spend my life with. We'll get through this together. Now, tell me, what do you think of the name Kyle, if it's a boy?"

"I love you, Troy," Gabriella chuckled softly, as Chad walked into the house.

He noticed Gabriella's tear strained face, Troy's damp shirt and the pregnancy test in Gabriella's hand.

"What happened?" he asked with his eyes on Gabriella.

"I'm pregnant," Gabriella smiled.

Chad stared at them in surprise. Then he grinned. "That's great, Gabriella," he told Gabriella, hugging her. "Congratulations."

"Thanks, Chad," Gabriella said, glad that her brother was happy for her. "Any advice to us before we tell our parents?"

"Yeah," Chad said. "Get them really happy and make them think that you are very, very, very responsible."

"Really?" Troy raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah," Chad nodded. "There is no better way to tell them."

"Okay," Troy turned to Gabriella. "How about inviting them over for dinner?"

"Sounds good," Gabriella shrugged. "I'll go call them."

"Call my parents, too, okay?" Troy called after her.

"Sure," Gabriella called back.

"Dude," Chad said to Troy. "You got her pregnant?"

"If you think that I'll apologize to you," Troy told Chad. "Forget it!"

"I didn't accept you to apologize," Chad said. "I just wanted to…say that I'm really happy for you guys."

"Thanks, Chad," Troy smiled.

"And, please don't make Gabriella do anything as much as lift a spoon, because then my parents and your parents would beat you up," Chad laughed.

"Okay, Chad," Troy laughed. "Thanks for the advice."

"I'll see you later," Chad said and left.

"It's all settled," Gabriella said as she walked back into the room. "Your parents are going to drive into town tomorrow and stay at a hotel for two or three nights, and my parents said that they'll come."

"Great," Troy smiled.

He kissed her again. He could not help it. He loved her so much and she had made him really happy.

"What was that for?" Gabriella giggled. "Not that I didn't like it."

"I love you Gabriella Montez," Troy whispered. "Anyway, since we're going to have this baby together, why don't you move in with me?"

"Really?" Gabriella asked.

Troy nodded.

"Troy, I'd love to," Gabriella said.

"Great," Troy smiled.
