Last Time:

"Are you okay, Gabi?" Troy asked as he nuzzled her neck.

"I'll be fine. I'm just angry at Liam Jones. That family has done nothing but try to make me miserable. I thought that i was rid of them, and today, i realised. I never will be," She began to cry.

"Shhh, Gabs. Don't cry," Troy soothed as he hugged her tightly in the hallway.

"Why does all the drama happen to me?" She cried.

"Because, you're more like Sharpay than you think...Drama queen," Gabriella laughed from her tears and hit Troy on the arm in reply...

"He did what?!" Sharpay screeched over the phone, when Gabriella was telling her the events of the previous day.

"I just told you!" Gabriella replied in exasperation.

"Oh my God, again, i'm so sorry!" Sharpay apologised.

"What are you talking about? It's not your fault, it's Daniel's, and his stupid family's fault," Gabriella sniped.

"Yeah, but if it hadn't been for that stupid MTV thing, he wouldn't have known about you and Troy, so it is my fault!" Sharpay whined.

"Shar! Trust me, it's not your fault. Stop worrying, everything will be okay," Gabriella soothed.

"I hope your right, Gabs," Sharpay said.

"I know i'm right. Anyway, what's new with you?" Gabriella asked.

"Well me and Zeke caved. We decided we wanted to know the sex of the baby, so we went and found out," Sharpay replied excitedly.

"And!?" Gabriella practically yelled, wanting to know what the sex of the baby was.

"Let's put it this way. Our nursery is a lovely shade of pink," She squealed.

"OH MY GOD! You're having a girl?" Gabriella cried out.

"Yeah! I'm so excited!" Sharpay said.

"I bet you are," Gabriella paused," Hold on, Shar! I think someone's at the door," Gabriella got up, with the phone still to her ear and walked to answer the door. She opened it and gasped, "Umm, Shar, i'm going to have to go. Congratulations again, Love ya," She said before hanging up and turning her attentions to the man standing before her, "What are you doing here?" She asked through gritted teeth.

"Look, Gabriella, i just came to talk to you. Can i come in?" He asked genuinely.

"Make it quick," She snapped before opening the door wider for him and walking towards the living room. He followed her and took a seat where she motioned, "What's this about, Calum?"

"I know, that right now, i'm probably the last person you want to see," He began but she cut him off.

"You can say that again," She sniped.

"Right. But, i just wanted to come and see how you are," He said smiling uncomfortably.

"Why would you do that?" She asked skeptically.

"Because, contrary to popular belief, all of my family aren't assholes," He laughed.

"Most of them are," Gabriella commented.

"Well, i'm not. You know that i have never been like my brother or my Dad, Gabriella,"

"They ruined my life," Gabriella cried.

"I'm sorry for that, i really am," He apologised.

"Look, i'm really busy, so can you just cut to the chase?"

"Okay. I just wanted to let you know that i have information that might help you. My Dad forged the letter that Daniel was supposed to have written. He never found a letter that said you had been cheating on him with Troy Bolton," Calum Jones explained.

"Why would you tell me this?" Gabriella asked, confused.

"It's no secret that my Father loved Daniel more than me. He hates me, and i've always tried to make him love me, but he never did. Gabriella, we got on well when you and Daniel were married, and you were the closest thing to family that i've ever had. I owe you," Calum admitted.

"Thank-you. That's really nice of you to try to help me," Gabriella thanked him, "And i just want you to know, i never cheated on Daniel,"

"I know you didn't. You took so much shit off my big brother, Gabriella, i only hope that this makes up for some of it," He smiled.

"It does. Thank-you. And i'm sorry if i was short with you at first, i'm just under alot of stress," Gabriella apologised.

"That's okay. Gabs, can i ask you something?" Calum asked.

"Sure, Calum," Gabriella smiled.

"Troy, umm, how did that all come about?" He asked uncertaintly.

"Me and Troy, we were an item in High School. I loved him, still do in fact. I don't think i ever stopped. I mean, how can you ever fall out of love with you first love? He's just so perfect and he makes me happy," Gabriella explained.

"When you saw him again, did you know that you would be together again?" Calum asked.

"No, i didn't. He was still one of my best friends and he was going through a bad time in his life. I never thought for one second that a relationship was on the cards with him, because in truth, i still loved your brother. I don't know how, but i was. If Troy hadn't admitted that he still loved me, i would still be victim to your brother, and for that i love Troy even more, he protects me," Gabriella told him.

"That's so beautiful. And as for my brother, he's a jerk! I'm so glad that you realised it and got out of his life. You have always been like a big sister to me, and it killed me to watch you go through everything you did," He admitted.

"Well, you were always a little brother to me, and you helped keep me sane, Calum," Gabriella giggled.

"So, the baby, how far along are you?" He asked.

"Nearly five months," She told him proudly.

"Wow! That's so great. I'm so happy for you Gabs," He gushed.

"I know, it's so great. I can't wait," She admitted.

"You'll be a great mother, Gabriella,"

"Thank-you," She thanked him, just as Troy entered the house looking harrassed.

"Gabs! You wouldn't believe the day i've just had!" Troy moaned without even noticing the extra body in his living room, as he gave Gabriella a kiss on the cheek.

"Troy, we have company," She said embarrassed.

Troy turned his head sharply and looked straight at Calum Jones, "Umm, Hi, i'm Troy Bolton. You know you look awfully familiar," He said as he put his hand out for Calum to shake.

"Pleasure to meet you sir, and i don't want to tell you where you know me from," He admitted sheepishly, embarrassed of who his family is, but shook Troy's hand anyway.

"Troy, honey. This is Daniel's kid brother, Calum Jones, but don't worry. He's a good kid," Gabriella explained.

"Oh right," Troy said, before rubbing his neck uncomfortably.

"I'm nothing like my family," Calum said quickly.

"It's true, Troy. In fact, he's just told me something very interesting," Gabriella smiled.

"Oh really? What's that?" He asked.

"I just informed Gabriella, that my father forged the supposed note from Daniel. And by the way, Gabriella, i'm willing to testify that in your hearing," Calum said happily.

"Thank you so much Calum, that would be great," Gabriella gushed.

"Anything for you, Gabs, i better be going though. And congratulations, on the pregnancy and the engagment," He smiled before hugging Gabriella and turning towards the door, "Nice to meet you, Mr Bolton,"

"Call me Troy. I'll walk you to the door," Troy offered before following Calum out into the hallway, "Listen, thank-you for doing that," He thanked Calum.

"It's not a problem, she's like a sister to me, and the only family i've ever really known," He told Troy at the door.

"Again, thank-you, and stop by anytime," Troy offered.

"Thank you, Mr- Troy. I'm glad that Gabriella's got someone like you. She deserves to be happy. Thank-you for making her happy," Calum said honestly.

"It's not a problem, she's a great woman," Troy admitted.

"Yeah, she is. Take care of her, Troy," Calum warned.

"I will," He said before waving to Calum, closing the door and walking back into Gabriella, "He is a good kid,"

"Yeah, i know. He always looked out for me, when i was married to Daniel,"

"You wouldn't think that someone as nice as him, could be part of that family would you?" Troy asked her.

"Nope, he's definitely nothing like that lot," Gabriella smirked, "So, what was so bad about your day, honey?"

"My physiotherapist just got himself sacked," Troy smiled.

"Oh my God, Troy!" Gabriella scolded.

"Hey! I didn't do anything, he did!" Troy defended.

"And what exactly was that?" Gabriella asked sarcastically.

"He told me that i didn't have an eight pack anymore, and that i needed to exercise more, if i want to play pro-ball again," Troy said annoyed.

"What's so bad about that?" Gabriella asked confused.

"Gabs! He was basically saying that i'm getting fat!" Troy moaned.

"You are!" Gabriella joked.

"Hey! You're going to get it, Montez," Troy yelled jokingly as he tickled her slightly.

"Troy! Baby!" Gabriella screamed.

"Damn it! I can't even tickle you anymore," Troy whinged.

"Get over it fattie," Gabriella stuck her tongue out.

"Look who's talking," Troy joked back.

"I'm pregnant! You're just fat!" Gabriella smirked.

"You're mean," Troy said and pretended to cry.

"Drama queen," Gabriella laughed.

"I am not!" He shouted from the bottom of the stairs, before stomping up them, still joking along.

Okay, so it was a little short but i've still got writer's block, slightly. Next few chapters will be longer because i no longer have exams after tomorrow, so updates will be back 2 normal again! I'm just guessin, but there should be around ten to twelve more chapters left in this story, and i WILL be writing a sequel, but not any time soon! Sorry, but anyways, would appreciate if you'd review, and also check out the info on my co-written story.
