Chapter 12
Gabriella walked into her bedroom and saw Troy sitting on the bed staring into the bathroom trash. She realized then she should have gone to better lengths to hide the pregnancy test. He looked up at her a look of shock on his face. She sighed and sat down on the end of the bed.
"You know you shouldn't go through people's trash," Gabriella said and he rolled his eyes.
"I wasn't going through it I was throwing something away and there it was," he said turning his gaze back to the trash.
"Its positive right?" he asked her his voice shaky.
"Yep," she answered.
"Wow," he muttered.
"Yep," she said again.
"So you're having a baby," he said.
"Looks that way," she said smiling now at the look on his face.
"My baby right?" he asked her uncertainty across his face.
"Of course it's your baby," she said appalled.
"Of course sorry but when," Troy asked.
"The day before you went to the hospital," she told him.
"Wow that was almost two months ago," he said.
"Yes it was," she said.
"I'm not leaving this time," he said and she smiled.
"Well I should hope not," she said.
"Cause we are having a baby," he said.
"Yes we are," she confirmed.
"And I am going to be there for all of it this time," he told her.
"I want you to be there for all of it," she answered.
"Good," he whispered.
"Wow a baby huh. This is good really good," Troy said grinning.
"Well I am glad you think so," Gabriella said trying not to laugh at the grin on his face. Peter walked in the room then and Gabriella picked him up and placed him on her lap.
"Are you in trouble mommy," Peter asked.
"Nope," Gabriella answered and Troy gave her a confused look.
"So you passed the test then," Peter said and Gabriella laughed.
"I think so what do you think dad did I pass the test," Gabriella said and Troy grinned.
"Oh definitely," Troy said grinning.
"So what's her prize? Remember you get surprises when you pass the test like Haley got chocolate bears," Peter said.
"Actually we are all going to get a surprise," Gabriella said.
"We are?" Peter said.
"Yep. In few months we are going to get a baby," Gabriella told him and his eyes widen.
"I am going to tell Haley and Hudson," Peter said scrambling off Gabriella's lap. They heard him run down the hall yelling for his brother and sister moments later. Gabriella turned to look at Troy who was watching her with a weird look on his face.
"What are you think about?" she asked him curiously.
"Nothing," he said smiling at her. She moved across the bed being careful of his leg and snuggled up against him. She had to admit she had been a little afraid of the way Troy would react when she heard that the news but she was happy with the way things had gone. In fact she hadn't been this happy in a very long time and while she was happy she was slightly afraid that something would happen to take it all away.
"You're thinking too much," Troy remarked and she looked at him. He was staring at her and she smiled.
"What do you mean," she asked him.
"You are thinking too much I can tell so stop. Everything is perfect right now don't over analyze it," he told her.
"Mommy are we are really having a baby," Haley said as she came into the room. She climbed onto of the bed her blue eyes filled with happiness.
"Yes we are," Gabriella said sitting up.
"I want a sister," Haley told her and Gabriella grinned.
"Well sweetie it doesn't work that way," Gabriella told her.
"Mom please I want a sister," Haley said.
"Don't worry Hales I think it is going to be a girl," Troy said.
"Really," Haley said smiling.
"Yep," Troy said. Haley grinned then and hopped off the bed and ran down the hall.
"Troy you shouldn't have told her that," Gabriella said but he brought her back down so her head was against his chest and ran his hand through her hair.
"I told her what I really think," Troy said and she looked up at him.
"Really?" she asked him.
"Yep," Troy said.
"Or a boy who knows," he said and she laughed as she hit him against the chest lightly.
"Well you better hope it's a girl because if not Haley will be highly upset," Gabriella said and he grinned as he kissed her on top of her head.
TROYELLA
"So let me get this straight. You and Gabriella are having a baby and you want my help to go find a ring she will like so you can ask her to marry you?" Chad said to Troy who was sitting on Chad's couch.
"That is about it," Troy confirmed.
"Oh I see. And how did you get here again," Chad said.
"Jane gave me a ride I was joking about the walking thing," Troy told him and Chad nodded his head.
"Now if you don't mind me asking why me?" Chad asked troy.
"Because you know the kind of ring she would like a lot better than I do I bet," Troy said.
"Trust me dude if you buy it she isn't going to care what it looks like," Chad said grinning.
"I also wanted to ask you something else," Troy said uncertain.
"What," Chad asked him.
"I know that you have been putting up with me because of Gabriella or I hope at first that was why but I just wanted to make sure we were cool," Troy said.
"Yeah man don't even worry about it we're cool," Chad said.
"You know at first I was only hanging out with you because of Gabriella but I missed you," Chad admitted.
"Well this isn't the first time she had to fix our friendship," Troy pointed out.
Flashback
It was 4th period right before lunch and Troy was trying to get Gabriella's attention from across the room in their History class. She finally looked up at him and he motioned frantically to his watch and she swore silently under her breath and raised her hand. The teacher beckoned her up to her desk.
"I need to go to the nurse's office now," Gabriella said.
"Oh of course here I will write you a pass," the teacher said. Gabriella gathered up her things and got the pass from the teacher and left the class mouthing a quick thanks to Troy. A few minutes later Chad asked for a pass to the bathroom. He left the classroom but instead of going to the bathroom went to the nurse's room eavesdropping outside. He watched as Gabriella checked her glucose levels and gave herself her insulin while the nurse watched smiling.
"Good job you're a pro at this already," the nurse said.
"Yeah I practiced on an orange at home," Gabriella said while she picked up her stuff.
"Make sure you eat well at lunch okay and if your still hungry come here after and I'll give you something okay?" the nurse said.
"Okay thanks," Gabriella said leaving the nurses offices where she promptly bumped into Chad. Chad mumbled a quick apology and started to walk away.
"Do you always eavesdrop on people in the nurse's office or I am a special case," she said and he stopped slowly turning to look at her as she caught up to him.
"I'm diabetic in case you were interested," she said still walking as he walked at her speed.
"Yeah I kinda figured. Sorry," he said.
"Hey don't be sorry it's not your fault and it's not like the world's going to end," she said smiling which surprised him.
"So listen I know you hate me all but..," she started before he interrupted.
"I don't hate you," he said.
"Okay you strongly dislike me and don't worry I get it," she said.
"Oh really," he said.
"Yeah it's the whole Troy thing I mean before I came you were well his main best friend and then I came and butt in and all of sudden you felt like you were losing your best friend," she said and he looked at her stunned.
"I….," he said.
"Don't worry really I get it that happened to me once my best friend Jamie well my best friend back home that is she got a boyfriend and I noticed that all of a sudden I never saw her so we had this huge fight but we made up. And I know that Troy misses you even if he won't admit it and I have a feeling you miss him, too so maybe if you two talked you could work it out," she said.
"He isn't going to talk to me not after what I did," Chad said.
"Trust me just try you might be surprised," she said and the bell rang and people started coming out of their classes.
"Well good luck Chad," Gabriella said.
"Thanks Gabriella really thanks," he said and she smiled at him before turning and walking away to the café for lunch.
TROYGABITROYGABITROYGABITROYGABITROYGABITROYGABITROY
It was halfway through lunch and Troy was sitting with Gabriella, Nicky, Zeke, Taylor, and Will. Troy was laughing at something Nicky said when Chad came up to the table obviously nervous. Troy looked up at him surprised and Chad looked at him then quickly away to Gabriella who Troy saw smile at Chad warmly. Troy felt confused and was even more confused when Chad talked.
"Troy do you think I could talk to you for a few minutes," Chad said. Troy sat there surprised and speechless and didn't respond until Gabriella nudged him in the ribs.
"Oww," he said turning to her. She gave him a glare and he stared back then up at Chad.
"Yeah sure," Troy said getting up. Troy and Chad walked over to a deserted table while Gabriella and everybody looked on.
"20 bucks says Troy punches him again," Nicky said.
"Shut up Nicky," Gabriella said.
"So what's up," Troy said uncomfortably to Chad.
"I wanted to say I was sorry for what I said about Gabriella," Chad said.
"Oh well umm thanks I guess," Troy said uncertainly.
"I'm sorry I punched you," Troy said.
"Yeah well I deserved it I've been a real idiot," Chad said.
"I will agree with you there," Troy said smiling and even Chad smiled.
"It was kinda my fault too though. I wasn't being the same best friend I should have been before she came. I guess I just got caught up in everything," Troy said.
"Yeah well maybe we can just try and forget this whole thing and be friends again I will even forget you punching me," Chad said.
"Okay deal," Troy said.
"You know we can still hang out in fact you can even hang out with me and Gabriella sometimes she isn't to bad," Troy said.
"She can talk," Chad said as they stood up.
"That she can," Troy said laughing.
"So you going to play tonight," Chad said.
"You'll just have to wait and see won't you," Troy said grinning as he went back to his table.
"So how did it go," Zeke said.
"Very good actually," Troy said. He looked over at Gabriella who was all of a sudden very interested in her chemistry notes. He leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"Thanks for the help by the way Dr. Phil," Troy said and Gabriella smiled at him.
"No problem," she said.
Flashback Ends
"If you think about it though both fights were about her," Chad pointed out.
"Yeah its women they cause all problems," Troy said.
"Yet what would you do without us," Taylor said from the doorway of the living room.
"Hello beautiful wife of mine," Chad said grinning.
"Oh please," Taylor said and Troy grinned at Chad who rolled his eyes.
"You know what sweetie me and Troy have some errands to run," Chad said as they got up.
"You two better not be up to something," Taylor said and Chad shrugged.
"Who us?" Chad said grinning as they left.
(A/N I couldn't resist putting in another flashback lol. Don't worry I am going to stop doing those I think. Hopefully you still like it. Okay so I have looked at what you guys think I should do and I have decided that I will keep Peter's mom in this story and instead have it go forward either one year so the baby will be here or three years so that way Peter will be a little older. Tell me what you think of that. Please review!!)
