Recap from previous chapter:
Troy was caressing Gabriella's back, drawing patterns on her lower waist, as she rested her head against his head, listening to his heart beat, her eyes closed, but not sleeping... They had both come down from their high but they still hadn't spoken a word... Silence sometimes could say a lot more than words could... Gabriella let a small sigh escape her lips, which made Troy pull back a bit and look down, at her, since he was half sitting... Gabriella looked up with a small soft smile on her features, her eyes glowing
"I can't stand the idea that someone else had you... That someone else is gonna have you... Please... Stop it and let's try to build this again... Together" Troy said looking at her, almost begging, a pleading expression and look on his face and eyes, and Gabriella could see the bitterness, pain and sincerity in them
Gabriella bit her lip... "Yeah... about that... There's something you should know..." she said looking at him
Troy looked at Gabriella... Something he should know? A million thoughts ran through his mind at once the moment the words left her mouth. And they weren't the best of them! More like black thoughts actually.
"Something I should know?" he asked hesitating not knowing if he wanted to listen to what she had to say or not...
Gabriella bit her lip... What was she going to do now? She had regretted the words that came out from her mouth the moment she heard them... Was she going to tell him the truth? And what if he went back to cheating on her? What would she do then? She still wasn't sure about him... She still had trouble trusting him... The wheels in her head started turning quickly, trying to find an excuse to tell him... She wasn't ready to tell him the truth yet... She wasn't sure about him yet... She needed to be 100% positive that he wouldn't keep the new attitude for a few months, before he went back to his old ways...
"I decided to go on ten dates instead of fifteen... So three more dates to go... You can handle three more... I have to be sure about my feelings towards you Troy" she listened to herself saying. God, being a lawyer did make her think fast after all! Gabriella laid on her back. Bringing the sheet around her body, before she sat up and brought her legs to her chest, covered in the sheet, and tilting her head to look at his reaction
Troy looked at her shaking his head "Did today mean nothing to you Gabriella? What more am I supposed to do to prove to you that I love you and I want you and I will NEVER cheat on you AGAIN! You are just gonna screw three more guys after we... And you expect me to be alright with that?" he asked her raising his voice slightly, but lower his tone when he saw her cringe... It was hopeless... She would never trust him again... He got off the bed and slipped his boxers on, gathered his stuff quickly from around the room before making his way to the door
Gabriella looked at him "Troy... Don't do this!" Gabriella said "Come back to bed... Of course it meant a lot... I just need to find myself!" she explained, patting the spot next to her on the bed, nodding for him to come back to bed
"Find yourself Gabriella? How? By screwing around?" he asked angrily, trying to hold himself from punching the door
"Wasn't that what you used as an excuse? That you were finding yourself? Troy?" Gabriella asked arching an eyebrow, looking at him... Here she was, completely naked wrapped in a sheet, after she had sex with her husband after a long dry period, fighting with him because she couldn't trust him enough to tell him that she wasn't a cheater! And here he was standing in just his boxers by the door acting like some deceived girlfriend that was causing a scene!
Troy shot her an angry look, before he left the room banging the door behind him, leaving the room without even bothering to reply to her... What was the point? They would have another fight... And they were doing so well... He had gotten his hopes up, but now everything was coming tumbling down once again... He led himself at the guest room and laid on the bed trying to get some sleep, since he had an early wakening the next morning... Well more like in a few hours since it was already the next day...
Gabriella stared at the closed door sighing, before she let out a loud groan and fell back into her pillows... When all this ended things would be different... They would be better... They would be just like they used to be... Troy would be the only one for Gabriella, as always, and Gabriella would be the only one for Troy, as he used to... All those thoughts made her slowly drift into sleep in her big king size bed, alone, but with a small hopeful smile on her lips... They had finally became one after a long time...
Two weeks later
Gabriella woke up that body feeling the world turning around her. She quickly threw the covers off her and sprinted to the bathroom, before she knelt in front of the toilet and emptied her already empty stomach... For the last few days it was the same thing every single day! She would wake up feeling nauseous before she rushed to the bathroom to throw up... She must have been coming with a flu bug or had food poisoning or something... One thing was for sure... Whatever it was, it sucked! Big time! Gabriella dragged herself out of the bathroom and got dressed before heading downstairs. She grabbed her brief case and exited the house, getting into her car and driving away...
She and Troy hadn't really spoken to each other after what happened that night... Gabriella hated going back to the silent treatment again, but she had the comforting thought that everything would be over soon, Troy would learn the truth and he would forgive her for the small lie, acknowledging the fact that she did whatever she did to save their marriage and finally get him in his senses and right mind!
Once she entered her office, she plopped herself on the leather chair and leaned back closing her eyes... Her stomach was killing her! She took a few deep breaths to make the discomfort go away, before she felt a presence in her office, and without bothering to move she opened one eye to see who it was... When she saw Jeremy standing there, she sighed before opening both eyes
"What's wrong with you?" Jeremy asked her arching an eyebrow. He had noticed that Gabriella seemed a little bit pale and for the last couple of weeks she's been acting kind of weird... The girl had some serious mood swings lately! One minute she was angry and the other she was crying over something stupid
"I don't know... I must be coming down with something... Or have food poisoning... I get dizzy, occasionally feel weak and I throw up at least twice a day... It's horrible!" she said shaking her head tiredly...
Jeremy looked at her in disbelief... "You are kidding me right?" he asked her
Gabriella looked at him weird not understanding what he was saying "Why would I be kidding you Jeremy?" she asked a bit irritated
"For a girl with your IQ, you are being a bit stupid at the moment Gabs!" he told her shaking his head with a huge smile "Did the possibility of you being pregnant even crossed your mind girl?" he asked her. He couldn't believe that she didn't even think about that!
"What? No! That's not possible! Is it?" she asked suddenly panicking. The thought indeed never crossed her mind, but as long as she thought about it the more sure she was getting! She had all the symptoms after all... Nausea, vomiting, mood swings, over-sensitivity, eating more than normal... Gabriella gasped and fell back on her chair breathlessly "Oh my god" she said, her voice barely audible as the realization hit her
"I suggest you get a pregnancy test and soon" Jeremy suggested.
A few hours later, Gabriella found herself in the middle of her bathroom holding a positive pregnancy test in her trembling hands... A million thoughts running through her mind with an amazing speed... What was she going to do now? Her marriage was still rocky... Was it a right time for a child? She suddenly heard the front door opening and she bit her lip so hard that it almost bled. She walked out of the bathroom slowly and made her way downstairs hesitantly, just to find Troy in the living room
"Troy... I... I am pregnant!" she heard herself saying before she was even able to stop herself from it
The bag fell from Troy Bolton's hands and he looked at his wife "You are WHAT?" he asked staring at her dumbfounded and ultimately shocked...
