Chap. 7. More Surprises.

Zeke looked at Sharpay stunned. "W-what?"

Sharpay hid her face in her knees and started crying again. "I-I knew y-you would b-be m-mad!"

Zeke pulled her into a tight hug. "Far from it. Are you keeping it?"

Sharpay looked up at him with blood shot eyes. "Do you want me to?"

Zeke smiled and gently kissed her lips. "Yes."

Sharpay smiled. "Think I should tell everyone else?" Zeke nodded. "Ok well let them in."

Zeke went over to the door and opened it. What he got was everyone falling over one another. They had obviously been listening at the door.

"Ouch! Troy, get off me!"

"You're the one on me!"

"Chad you're sitting on my foot."

"No that's my foot!"

"Ow! Don't push me!"

"Whose on my arm?"

Sharpay and Zeke laughed at the sight. Once everyone had gotten themselves together Sharpay said, "Well I guess you guys know." They all blushed.

Gabriella smiled and hugged Sharpay. "I'm so happy for you and Zeke!"

Sharpay hugged her back. "Thanks."

Kelsie made a disgusted face. "Who let Katie and Ashley in to your party anyways?"

"Well the door was open so they could have just come in." Ryan said.

"Yeah but don't you think someone would have seen them?" Jason asked.

Chad looked like he was thinking hard (someone alert the media!) "They could've had someone do it for them."

They all nodded.

"Remind me to hurt them when I see them again." Sharpay said narrowing her eyes.

Zeke looked at her and said, "After what happened this time I think you should give up fighting until you have the baby, then you can kill who ever you want." Everyone laughed.

Then Mr. And Mrs. Evens walked back in. "I think you should all be getting home. It's getting late and your parents are probably wondering where you are."

Everyone except Ryan got up and left the room. They went to their cars (Gabriella with Troy, Taylor with Chad, and Kelsie with Jason) and said their good-byes and left.

Chad noticed Taylor had been quiet for quite awhile, ever since they found out that Sharpay was pregnant. He took her hand in his causing her to jump. "Baby are you alright?"

Taylor opened and then closed her mouth a few times before speaking. "Chad… Sharpay and Zeke had consequences for what they did. What if we have any?"

Chad's eyes winded. "Y-you're not pregnant, are you?"

Taylor smiled. "Not from what I know, but then again I'm not a hundred percent sure."

"Do you want to take a test or something?" Taylor nodded.

Chad took them to a close pharmacy to let Taylor get some tests. She went inside and quickly grabbed a box, paid, and left.

When they got back to Taylor's house her parents weren't home so they went upstairs to Taylor's room. Taylor went into the bathroom to take a test. When she came out Chad was laying on her bad watching TV. She came and sat down next to him. He sat up and put his arms around her and she rested her head on his shoulder. "So how long do we have to wait?"

"The box said five minutes. I have a timer set."

Chad looked down at Taylor and saw that she looked scared. "Hey baby it'll be alright. If it comes out negative then that's fine and if it comes out positive… we'll work it out." Taylor nodded.

Five minutes later the timer went off. They both got up and went to look at the test. Taylor's hand was shaking when she picked up the test. She turned it over and relief spread over her face. "Negative."

Chad smiled and kissed her. "You see? There was nothing to worry about."

Taylor smiled. "I'm just relieved. I mean, what would we have done if it was positive?"

"Kept him, loved him, watched him grow up."

"Hey what if it was a girl?"

"I don't think so. Damien doesn't sound like a girls name anyway."

"Who said I would have named him Damien? I like the name Jake."

"Jake! No way! I do not want my child to be named Jake."

"Well you're not the one who has to give birth to him! I think I should have the right to name my baby!"

"Yes, and you can name him Damien!"

"No, Jake!"

"Damien!"

"Jake!"

"Damien!"

"Jake!"

"DAMIEN!"

"JAKE!"

"Wait a minute. When did we have a kid?" Chad and Taylor stared at each other for a few seconds then burst out laughing. After a few minutes they were on the floor catching their breath. Taylor's head was on Chad's chest and they were still panting. Chad looked down at her and slowly leaned in and kissed her.

Troy was over Gabriella's house in her room totally confused about the homework he was supposed to be doing. He leaned over and looked at Gabriella's but she hid it under her hand. "Aw come on Gabby! I don't understand this stuff!"

"Then ask for my help don't cheat!"

"But then you have to explain it about five times until I get it then again after a few minutes after I forget! I'm just making it easier."

"If you're going to cheat then go cheat off Chad!"

"No you see the reason I'm cheating off you is because I want to get it right."

Gabriella rolled her eyes. "If you don't do it on your own then you'll never learn!"

Troy smiled. "Fine then teach me oh teacher!"

Gabriella smiled. "What if I don't feel like it now?"

"Then I'll fail and blame you and you'll have an angry mob after you for getting me suspended from the basketball team."

"Hey! It's not my fault you don't pay attention in class!"

"Yes it is. The reason I don't pay attention is because I can't stop staring at you."

Gabriella leaned over and kissed him softly on the lips. Troy deepened the kiss and soon they were in an all out make out session.

Five minutes later Troy's phone went off. His mom told him to come home because it was dinnertime. He kissed Gabriella good-bye and left.

A week later Taylor woke up and immediately ran into the bathroom and got sick. Her parents were out of town so she was home alone. When she was done she slowly made her way back to her bed and feel asleep.

Half an hour later she heard a knock on her bedroom door and sat bolt up right. She regretted it immediately as a wave of dizziness hit her. She ran into the bathroom again.

Chad heard weird noises from Taylor's room. Cautiously he opened the door and looked inside. "Taylor?" he heard someone getting sick in the bathroom. He ran into the bathroom and saw Taylor hunched over the toilet getting sick. He ran over and started rubbing her back. "Hey baby are you ok?"

Taylor sat back and flushed the toilet. "Yeah. I just felt a little sick. I'm fine."

Chad felt her head. "You feel a little warm. You sure you're alright?"

Taylor nodded. She tried to stand up again but felt another wave of dizziness and was back leaning over the toilet getting sick.

Chad was still there rubbing his hand in circles on her back. "Baby I think you should stay home today."

Taylor shook her head. Once she finished getting sick she flushed the toilet and whipped her mouth. "I feel fine now. It's ok." She tried to take a step but was so weak that she almost fell.

Chad caught her and carried her into her room and put her back in bed. "You're staying home today. You can't even walk!"

"No seriously I feel fine!" she tried to get up but Chad pushed her back down.

"Just stay home today. I'll come by after school and give you all you're books and things. Just go back to sleep." Taylor crossed her arms across her chest. Chad kissed her forehead. "See you after school." Chad said and left her room.

Once Taylor heard his car pull out of her driveway she jumped up and got ready for school. Five minutes later she was out the door on her way to school. She arrived just in time. She raced off to homeroom and made it in just before the bell rang. Chad gave Taylor a look that she ignored. She took her seat and noticed that Sharpay was not there today. No surprise.

As Mrs. Darbus started talking Jason passed a note back to Taylor. She opened it and read it.

Taylor! I thought I told you to stay home! Why are you here? You could barely walk this morning! Chad

Taylor rolled her eyes and wrote back:

I'm fine! Stop worrying!

She passed it back and wasn't interrupted the rest of the class.

After class was a free period so Chad pulled Taylor off into an empty classroom. When he closed the door he turned to her. "I thought you were going to stay home today!"

Taylor crossed her arms. "No, YOU said I was going to stay home. I feel perfectly fine. Whatever it was passed."

Chad ran his hands over his face in frustration. "You couldn't even walk Taylor! You should be at home resting! Go home now! Tell the office you don't feel well. They'll let you go"

Taylor threw her hands up in the air in frustration. "Chad I'm fine! Just stop worrying ok?"

Chad looked at her for a minute and then sighed. "I'm just worried ok?"

Taylor relaxed a little and smiled. "It's ok to be worried but you're just being overprotective."

Chad smiled and walked up and kissed her softly on the lips. "I'll lay off a little, but promise me that if you feel dizzy or weak then you'll go to the nurse." Taylor nodded and Chad kissed her again and they walked out of the room to go find their friends.

Gym class was never Taylor's favorite subject. Thank God it was last period. Coach Bolton had them running laps around the field and Taylor wasn't doing to good. He kept telling her to speed up, though she couldn't go too much faster. All the boys had finished so now it was all the girls, Taylor, Gabriella, and Kelsie last.

"C'mon McKessie! Speed up!" Coach Bolton had been watching Taylor and she was not doing to well. All her friends kept trying to speed her up but nothing worked.

While panting Gabriella said, "C'mon Taylor. Only a little ways more to go. Do you feel ok?"

Taylor had stopped and grabbed her head. She knelt down and grabbed her stomach. She heard Chad shouting her name before everything went black.

HSMHSMHSMHSMHSM

Chad saw Taylor collapse and ran over. Everyone was crowding around her but he pushed them away. She was pale and sickly looking. Coach Bolton came over and told everyone to stop crowding her. He took his clipboard and started fanning her. After a few minutes Taylor's eyes fluttered open. "W-what happened?"

Coach Bolton look relieved. "You fainted." he turned to Chad. "Chad, sign both yourselves out in the office and please take Ms. McKessie home."

Chad nodded and helped Taylor to her feet. He turned to Gabriella and told her to take Taylor's car home and then slowly started leading Taylor towards the school. Once inside she collapsed again into Chad's arms. He carried her to the office and signed them both out and took her to his car and started driving off.

Chad looked at Taylor and frowned. "I thought you said you would go to the nurse if you felt bad?"

"It was sudden. I didn't really know what was happening until I collapsed onto the ground." She leaned her head back on the seat. "I feel so weak."

Chad took her hand in his and kissed it. "You're going to be fine. Don't worry."

Finally Chad pulled the car to a stop. Taylor looked out of the window and realized they were at the hospital. "Chad! It's not that bad really."

He went over to her side of the car and opened the door. "Yes, it is. Now don't fight c'mon." Taylor stayed in her seat. "Have it your way." He picked her up out of the car and started carrying her towards the doors. She was to weak to fight him but she did complain. A lot.

He took her up to the emergency room and was told to wait for her name to be called. She was sitting beside Chad with her arms crossed. Chad had called everyone and told them where they were and to meet them there. Finally a nurse stuck her head into the room. "Taylor McKessie?"

Chad stood up and had to carry Taylor. Once back there they were told to wait in a room. Chad laid Taylor on the bed and took a seat beside it. "You know we don't need to do this. It's probably only the flue."

"This is just to be on the safe side."

Just then a doctor walked in. "Hello I'm dr. Popawell. Ms. McKessie please tell me what is wrong.

She was about to tell the doctor she was fine when Chad started talking. "She has been dizzy, she got sick this morning, she fainted, and she's really weak."

Dr. Popawell started taking notes. "Any headaches, runny nose?" Taylor shook her head. "Ok we are going to run a few tests. Are your parents here?"

"No, they're out of town for the week."

Dr. Popawell nodded. "Ok. Sir?" he said looking at Chad. "I'm going to have to ask you to wait in the waiting room." Chad nodded and got up and went into the waiting room. Once he got there everyone rushed up to him.

"Is she ok?"

"What's wrong with her?"

"Is she going to be ok?"

Chad jumped back in surprise. "Whoa. I don't know anything-"

"Yeah we know that but do you know what's wrong with Taylor?" Troy said with a straight face.

Chad glared at him. "As I was saying, when I left they were about to run some tests. They'll let us know when they're done." They all nodded and sat back down. After about forty-five minutes a nurse came out. "Taylor McKessie?" they all walked up to her. "She told me only her boyfriend." Everyone went and sat back down as Chad followed her back into the room with Taylor.

When he went in he saw Taylor sitting on the bed looking very pale and scared. Chad slowly walked over to her. "Tay? You ok?"

She broke down into Chad's arms. "H-how could th-this ha-happen?"

Chad looked at her confused when dr. Popawell walked in. "Alright Ms. McKessie have you told him?" Taylor shook her head. "Well then I'll give you a few more minutes."

The door shut and Chad looked at Taylor. "Please tell me what's wrong Taylor."

She looked up at him and took a deep breath. "Chad… I'm pregnant."
