The next morning Gabriella was still struggling to cope with the events of the past few days, although she was defiant; she wasn't going to be famous anymore. Taylor and Chad understood, they also hated the fame that Chad's profession brought along with it although they understood that fame can not be quit as it is not up to you if you are famous. They did, however, vow to help Gabriella. Chad took a shower, grabbed his bag and headed to basketball practise. It was going to be the first time he had seen Troy after the confession at Ryan's. The girls had decided to watch a film and try and get themselves lost in some other persons problems.

Troy woke up once again to an empty bed. He grabbed a shower and it was hard to distinguish the shower droplets from the tears. He got dressed and into one of the blacked out cars. He was going to basketball practise and could finally ask how Gabriella was. However there was a certain 3 year old he was longing to see.

Taylor and Gabriella were well into the movie when Taylor shrieked with delight.

"What!?" exclaimed Gabriella.

"Oh My Gawd, Gabs the baby is really squirming around,' she beamed, 'it has only ever kicked before." The two girls leaped off the sofa and started jumping around in happiness before Gabriella was once again in tears.

"Gabs, what's wrong?"

"I was supposed to be having kids with Troy! And now he's already got a kid, and all I want is for him to hold me and make it better. And I want to forgive him-in some ways I already have. I know he was drunk and that he truly didn't mean for this to happen but the hurt is indescribable. Every time he phones it takes so much strength to press the reject button!" she spluttered. Taylor lunged forward and hugged her tightly, she couldn't begin to imagine the pain that Gabriella must be going through, and them for that to be made 10 times worse by Chad and Taylor because of the baby.

"Shh…Its okay" soothed Taylor.

Troy walked out of the changing rooms and onto the court. Chad was the only other person there due to the fact that there were no big games coming up any time soon.

"Hey" Troy muttered. Chad hesitated for a few moments before greeting him back.

"Dude, you understand right?"

"Yeah I do, but gees the ice queen? Instead of Gabs? You threw away something amazing right there!"

"I know and all I want is for Gabby to come back-how is she?"

"She's okay I guess-considering. Although she has decided to 'quit' fame."

"Woah…dude I miss her so much- it's so indescribable."

There was an awkward silence before Chad piped up.

"How's it being a dad?"

"To be honest I have no idea. I've only seen her once when I saved her from that car but my belly went weird. It's like every time I think of her its just endless amounts of love I feel, and a little bit of shock. I'm going to go round after practise though and try to see her. It's weird to be a dad but if I'm being 100 honest I really am glad I am. I just want to spend every moment with her and know everything about her. I really want Gabby back though as well, and I know I cant have both and in some ways I feel like if I reject Ruby I'll forget about her but shes a part of me you know? We have a bond already!" Troy sighed.

Chad was just about to speak when he was cut off by Troys mobile.

Sharpay was downstairs drinking some coffee when she looked at her watch. It was half past 9 and Ruby should of already of woken. If she wasn't awake in the next few minutes she wouldn't sleep tonight. Sharpay darted upstairs and into Ruby and hers bedroom and made her way over to the bed.

"Rubes, time to wake up now!"

The toddler did not stir but lay absolutely still in the bed. Her back was towards Sharpay so Sharpay crept round to the other side. She was shocked by the sight that greeted her – her child with a blue tint in her skin and slightly shaking. She screamed for Ryan as she climbed onto the bed and started vigorously shaking Ruby, trying to wake her up. Ryan sprinted into the room, breathless to find his distraught sister clutching a hold of Ruby who he assumed to be unconscious. She had a rash all down her neck and he knew he had to get an ambulance fast. Cassie ran up wondering what the noise was about.

"CALL AN AMBULANCE! NOW! PHONE TROY- TELL HIM TO MEET US THERE!" yelled Ryan.

Cassie did as she was told and soon enough she was on the phone to the operator.

"Hello? WHAT? Yeah erm ill be there in 10! Is she going to be okay? Umm Bye"

"Troy who was th?" asked Chad.

"Its Ruby' cut off Troy, 'she's not waking up and she's really ill- they have had to call for an ambulance."

"WHAT? Is she going to be okay?"

"They don't know but they said it's quite bad"

"oh my"

"Chad can you drive me to the hospital cos my car isn't scheduled to be here for another 2 and a half hours and I really want to be there as soon as possible."

"Yes, that's no problem! Come on my cars round the back."
