Chap. 8. Bad Dreams.

Chad sat there stunned. When he finally recovered he said, "But I thought the test said negative?"

Taylor whipped away her tears. "Well tests can be wrong. I can't believe this. I'm only seventeen!"

Chad pulled her into a hug. "We'll work something out. Don't worry."

Dr. Popawell came back in a few minutes later. "I believe you told him?" Taylor nodded. "Good. Now I'm going to send you up for an ultrasound to make sure the baby's all right and everything." Taylor nodded and dr. Popawell called in a nurse with a wheelchair. Taylor sat in it and her, the nurse, and Chad went up to the OB. (A/N: sorry I don't know what it's called!)

When they got up there they saw a lot of other mothers-to-be waiting. Some of them already had children and were trying to keep them under control. Once in a room a doctor greeted them. She was smiling and stuck out her hand for them to shake "Hello I'm dr. Chincheck. Please lay down on the bed Taylor and we'll get started." Taylor did as she was told. Dr. Chinckeck took out a clipboard and pen. "Now I'm going to ask you a few questions." Taylor nodded. "First off how old are you?"

"Seventeen."

Dr. Chincheck wrote something on her clipboard. "Ok. Have you ever drunk or used drugs?"

Taylor blushed. "I have drunk once." That was the reason she was in there right now.

Dr. Chinckeck wrote some more on her clipboard. "Ok well I suggest you don't do it while you're pregnant." Taylor nodded. "Now I'm going to use an ultrasound to look at the baby to make sure everything is ok. This gel is going to be cold so be prepared."

She wasn't kidding. Once the gel touched Taylor's stomach she nearly feel off the bed. Chad had to hold back laughter.

She started moving the stick (A/N: sorry! Don't know what that's called either. This is sad considering my mom works in the baby section of the hospital and does this for a living) around on Taylor's stomach. A picture appeared on the screen. "Ok. We can't tell much now but we can see that the baby's healthy." She moved the stick to the right side of Taylor's stomach. "Oh my."

Taylor's face went pale and Chad's eyes opened in alarm. In a shaky voice Chad asked, "W-what's wrong?"

Dr. Chincheck smiled. "Nothing's wrong, but congratulations! You're having twins!"

Chad's mouth opened in surprise. Taylor just stared at dr. Chincheck expecting her to scream 'surprise!' or something. When she didn't Taylor said, "Are you serious?"

Dr. Chincheck nodded and took the stick off Taylor's stomach. She whipped the gel off her stomach with a tissue. She went over to a drawer and pulled out a medicine container. "Ok now Taylor, these are for your morning sickness. You should take them right before you fall asleep at night. If for some reason you can't keep them down or have any problems please come back and we'll fix it then. I'm putting you on bed rest for two weeks, just to make sure you don't collapse again. I'll make an appointment for you and we'll call you to tell you when. Until then." She stuck out her hand for them to shake and they left.

They slowly made their way down to where their friends were waiting. Chad was pushing Taylor in the wheelchair. Taylor looked up at Chad. "What am I going to tell them Chad?"

Chad thought this was an odd question. "Well… just tell them the truth."

"But what will they say?" Chad could tell Taylor was nervous.

"It'll be alright. They didn't do anything when they found out about Sharpay."

Taylor looked sad. "I can't believe we're both pregnant. And I'M having twins! I can't believe it! I'm going to hurt Ashley and Katie."

"Not while you're pregnant. After you have the babies you're free to do what you wish to those bitches."

Taylor slapped her head. "What are my parents going to say? They're out of town for this week! And it's for business, so they can't leave!"

"It'll be fine. Don't worry." Chad stopped the wheelchair for they had made it to the doors of the waiting room. "Are you ready?" Taylor nodded and Chad pushed the chair through the door. Everyone saw them and rushed up.

"Are you ok?"

"What's wrong?"

"Why are you in a wheelchair?"

"You're not going to die, are you?"

Chad held up his hand for silence and looked at Taylor. She looked at everyone and took a deep breath. "I-I'm pregnant."

Everyone was quiet for a few minutes. Finally Kelsie spoke. "Are you kidding?"

Taylor shook her head. Just then Sharpay came into the waiting room. She had been at home and was just informed a few minutes ago where everybody was. She walked over to the group and looked at Taylor. "Are you ok?"

Taylor nodded and said, "I'm pregnant."

There was more silence following that. Then Sharpay smiled and hugged her. "Well that makes two of us!"

Taylor was relieved that they were taking it so well and started to relax a little. "The doctor put me on bed rest for two weeks. Oh! And I have another surprise. I'm having twins!" Everyone hugged and congratulated her.

"Why don't we get out of this hospital and go back to Taylor's house?" Jason said. Everyone agreed and they were off.

Once they were at Taylor's house Chad carried her in and laid her on the couch. They made snacks and talked for a little while, mostly about Taylor and Sharpay. Since it was Friday they all decided to sleep over, since Taylor's parents weren't home. Once it reached midnight they were really bored.

Gabriella looked at Taylor and asked, "Do you have anything to do?"

Taylor, who was laying on Chad, said, "Hmmm… oh! How about DDR?" (dance dance revolution)

Zeke stood up. "Where is it?"

"In the hallway closet."

Him and Sharpay went to find it. A few minutes later they came back with it. They hooked it up and started playing. The boys weren't too good but he girls had played a few times and were not to bad.

Taylor looked at them longingly. "Can't you let me go so I can play one game Chad? Please?"

Chad shook his head. "No way! What if something happened?"

"It's just one game! Besides, that's only a precaution!"

"But what if something happened to you or the babies?"

Taylor rolled her eyes and sat back and continued watching everyone play DDR. She got to thinking about what her parents would say. Of coarse they'd be mad, but they wouldn't do anything like kick her out of the house, right?

Chad was watching Taylor as she sat and thought. He smiled and kissed the top of her head. "So what are you thinking about now?"

Taylor sighed. "How am I going to tell my parents?"

Chad thought for a minute. "Well… you could tell them that you went to a party where the punch was spiked, got drunk, then… yeah, and now you're pregnant."

Taylor cuddled closer to Chad. "I don't know. What if they get so mad they kick me out or something?"

Chad chuckled. "They would never do that and you know it."

They watched the others play DDR. The boys were getting better. Troy tried to play on the same mat as Gabriella. It resulted in them tripping over one another and falling hard. Everyone laughed at the site.

Troy helped Gabriella up and told the others that they were going to get drinks for themselves. Once they were in the kitchen Troy kissed Gabriella. She deepened the kiss. Soon they were making out on the kitchen floor.

"Hey guys- whoa." Zeke had walked in on them. "Get a room."

Gabriella blushed. Troy stood up and helped Gabriella up. "Well we did have a room until you walked in.

Zeke rolled his eyes and went to the refrigerator and pulled out a few water bottles. "Yeah well we're about to watch a movie."

Troy smiled. "Yeah, yeah. We'll be in soon."

Zeke left the kitchen and Troy turned to Gabriella. "C'mon. Let's go somewhere private." He took her hand and led her outside. Taylor had a little pond out back. It wasn't much, but it was more private then what they could get inside. They sat on the bench and started talking

After awhile the subject turned to Taylor and Sharpay. Gabriella was obviously excited. "I can't believe it! It's so exciting! Do you think one of them will make me a godmother? I wonder if they'll all be boys or all girls or two boys and one girl or one boy and two girls. I can NOT believe Taylor is having twins!"

Troy put his finger over her mouth. "Gabriella. Chill. Sounds like you love kids."

Gabriella blushed. "Yeah. I never had any brothers or sisters. Well, my mom was pregnant a few years ago but she had a miscarriage. A little after that my dad had a heart attack and died."

Troy hugged her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up."

She looked up at him and smiled. "It's ok. It happened a long time ago."

He kissed her gently on the lips. "C'mon. We'd better get back inside before they wonder what happened to us." Gabriella nodded and they walked back inside hand in hand.

The next morning Taylor woke up and looked around. Everyone was sleeping. Chad was lying behind her with his arm around wrapped around her, his hand resting on her stomach. She smiled and wriggled out from his grasp. She went upstairs to her room and showered and changed.

She was in the bathroom blow-drying her hair when Chad walked in. "Why are you up here?"

Taylor looked at him confused. "Because this is my room and I would like to properly groom myself in the morning."

Chad shook his head. "Well you could have woke me up and had me help you up here!"

"Chad I'm not helpless!"

"But you are on bed rest. You shouldn't be standing! What if something happened to you or the babies?"

Taylor threw her hands up in the air. "It's only a precaution! Why do you take it so seriously!"

Chad was now fully ragged. "Why? BECAUSE THE DOCTOR SAID SO! THAT'S WHY! SHE'S TRAINED AT THIS KIND OF STUFF! SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE'S DOING!"

Taylor just ignored him and went back to blow-drying her hair. "TAYLOR JANE (just made it up) MCKESSIE! PUT DOWN THE BLOW DRYER AND GO LAY DOWN NOW!" she still ignored him.

He went up and grabbed the blow dryer from her and turned it off. "Hey! I'm not done!"

"Yes you are." He scooped her up and brought her into her room where he put her on the bed and sat beside her with his arms around her so that she couldn't get up.

She tried and tried to get out of his arms, but he was too strong. "CHAD! LET ME GO NOW!" he didn't budge. Just turned on the TV like he couldn't hear her. She sighed in frustration. "At least take me downstairs where everyone else is."

He looked at her and smiled. He turned off the TV, picked her up, and took her downstairs. Everyone was awake except for Kelsie, who was lying on Jason as he stroked her hair. Chad laid Taylor on the couch and went into the kitchen where Zeke and Troy were making breakfast. Taylor looked around and realized Sharpay wasn't there. "Hey Gabby, where's Sharpay?"

With out taking her eyes off the TV she said, "Morning sickness." That was all she needed to say. Then Gabriella turned to her. "Where were you this morning?"

"I went upstairs to shower and stuff. Then Chad burst in and started yelling at me to go lie down. He's so overprotective."

Gabriella frowned. "You're on bed rest, right?" Taylor nodded. "Then why were you up there? You should have been lying down."

"Urg! Not you too! Chad is doing the some thing!"

"Well you are on bed rest. If the doctor said not to get up, then don't! I mean, what's cooler then having Chad doing everything for you?" Taylor smiled. "Besides, I think it's cute how much he cares for you and the babies. I can't believe you're going to be a mommy! And Chad a daddy! It's so exciting!"

Taylor looked at her hands. "Yeah, but what will everyone at school say?"

"Well Sharpay is in the same boat as you, and with her there scaring everybody I don't think they'll say anything about you."

"Did I hear my name?" they looked in the doorway and saw Sharpay standing there. She came over and sat next to Taylor.

"Yeah. We were talking about how much taunting our pregnant butts are going to get once everybody finds out." said Taylor.

Sharpay looked surprised. "Them? Tease mwa? I don't think so! If anything they'll be congratulating us if I have anything to do with it."

"No fighting though." They turned towards the doorway and saw the guys in the doorway. Zeke came over and kissed Sharpay. "C'mon. Breakfast is ready."

Gabriella and Sharpay got up and walked into the kitchen while Taylor was carried in by Chad. Troy looked at Jason. "Ya gonna wake her up?"

Jason shook his head. "She couldn't sleep well last night, so I'll let her sleep now."

Troy shrugged and followed everyone into the kitchen. They all ate and went back into the den to watch more TV. By that time Kelsie had woken up and her and Jason had gotten something to eat. At about noon everyone except Chad had left. Right now it was about 10:00 and Taylor was asleep in his arms and he was watching a football game.

Chad looked down at Taylor and realized she had a tear running down her face. Soon more started running down her cheeks. He shook her gently. She didn't wake up. "Taylor? Taylor!"

All of the sudden Taylor sat bolt up right. Chad looked at her concerned. "Are you ok?"

Taylor broke down and started crying in Chad's arms. "I had the worst dream! The twins died and you left me and my parents disowned me. Oh Chad it was horrible!"

Chad rubbed his hand in circles on her back and rocked her back and fourth. "Hey you know I'd never leave you, and if you listen to me and stop walking around then the twins will be fine. Your parents would never disown you Taylor, not over something like this."

She pulled away and whipped away her tears. "You're right. It was just so scary."

Chad nodded and turned off the TV. "C'mon. It's getting late. You should go to bed." Taylor nodded and Chad took her up to her room. She instantly fell asleep once her head hit the pillow. Chad climbed into bed next to her and wrapped his arms around her. Though he didn't show it he was worried too. What would her parents think? What would his parents think? He fell into a restless sleep with those thoughts in his head.
