"Gabi has a kid!" Troy shouted once he had entered the cafe. Customers turned around and gave him looks, but Troy was in too much shock to notice it. Taylor spit out her drink, Kelsi dropped her pen, and so did Zeke, who was writing a recipe, Sharpay's mouth dropped, Chad and Jason stopped tossing the napkin dispenser, but Cheryl had no reaction.
"What?" Taylor said quietly.
"She has a kid," Troy repeated.
By that time, everyone had recovered from their shock.
"His name is Troy Jr.," Troy told them.
"Well that explains her leaving," Chad said.
"I mean, she got pregnant, didn't want anyone to know, and left," Sharpay explained.
"You should talk to her. You know, just to make sure who's the father," Zeke suggested.
"I think we all shoud," Taylor said then receiving funny looks, "Not for that reason...Just to tell her that we'll always be there for her, always," Taylor finished.
Everyone agreed.
""Eh, no, I need to let this information to sink in," Troy said with everyone agreeing.
Sunday
"Hello?"Gabi said picking up the phone.
"Hey, it's Tr---," Troy started before Gabi slamed the phone down.
Phone rings.
"Would you quit calling me!" Gabi screamed into the phone.
"Eh, bad time?" Cheryl said taked back.
"Oh, it's you, sorry. Thought you were someone else," Gabi said.
"Like Troy?" Cheryl said smirking.
"Kinda," Gabi said with a nervous chuckle.
"Can I come over with---" Cheryl started.
"No!" Gabi shouted jumping to conclusions.
"---Billy," Cheryl finished.
"Oh, sure," Gabi said sheepishly.
"See you in a few,"Cheryl said leaving to get her adoptive brother.
"Mommy, I'm bored," Troy Jr. said.
"Well, Billy's coming over," Gabi told him.
"Really!" Troy said excitedly.
"Yep," Gabi said with a smile.
"What do you wanna talk about?" Cheryl asked when she came over with Billy.
"I dunno," Gabi said turning on the t.v.
Cheryl turned off the t.v and suggested, "How about you and Troy."
Gabi frowned.
"Hey, doesn't you best friend get to know," Cheryl said with a puppy-dog face.
Gabi sighed and got out a photo album in the hallwaycloset, and dropped the album on Cheryl's lap.
"Awwwww, you guys look so cute," Cheryl coed at the cover photo which was of her and Troy sitting together at the swing.
As Cheryl asked about all the photos, the ski lodge, the singing, and all those events, Gabi explained what ahppened.
"You know you're gonna have to talk to him, right?" Cheryl asked closing the album.
I sighed and said, "I know"
Gabi's POV
I've always dreaded that this day would come for them to find out. It's always been in my dreams, which I always wake up from. But this time, I know it's not a dream.
End of Gabi's POV
Monday-Albatra High
Cheryl's POV
I can tell Gabi's fear fo school today. She's avoided every person from East High High school. She sat across the room, missed lunch, and has pratically lived in the girl's washroom. I saw her slip a letter into Troy's locker, slowly, but it fell in before she could stop it. When I was walking to class, I saw Troy pick up the letter, read it, then smile. At least some one's happy around here. I've also been avoiding Troy too, just so that my big mouth won't tell Gabi's secret.
End of Cheryl's POV
"Hey, Chad," Troy said to Chad.
"Hey," Chad said.
"Look what fell in my locker," Troy said tossing the note to Chad.
"What fell in your locker?" Taylor asked coming behind the guys with the rest of the girls.
Troy pointed at the note Chad was unfolding.
-Troy,
Meet me at 101 Pacific Way at 4 today, you can bring the others
-Gabi
"We are so going," Taylor said.
Bell rings.
Gabi's Place, 101 Pacific Way
Ding Dong
Troy Jr. was dribbling a basketball, while Gabi went to open the door.
After everyone in the gang, and Cheryl entered, everything was silent, except for Jr.'s basketball dribbles.
Chad finally broke the ice, "So..."
Taylor smacked his head, and glarred at him.
"Mrs.Flinshaw says no hitting people," Troy Jr. spoke up.
"Uh, right," Taylor said with Chad grinning.
Gabi took a deep breath and asked, "What do you guys wanna know?"
Nine questions were fired all at once, which didn't really surprise Gabi.
"Kelsi, shoot." Gabi said.
"Why'd you leave," Kelsi asked.
"Take a guess," Gabi said jerking her head to Troy Junior who was now sitting beside her.
"But you showed us the stick and every time it said negitive," Sharpay said.
"They were," Gabi said.
"But then if you left because of Troy...Junior, but the stick was negitive...what's that suppose to mean?" Jason thought out loud.
"The stick was negitive, but you know how I kept on going to the washroom every while or so, and how I was always getting hungrier? My mom finally brought me to a clinic, and remember when I dropped my cellphone at lunch? Yeah, about that, the clinic had called telling me that it was positive for like five months already. Since you know, those pregnancy test are only like 99.8 true. When I got home that day, I didn't tell my mom, and she said that her job was being transferred again, so we had to move. I didn't tell you guys, cause I know you guys would get all teary-eyed. Right before we had to leave, my mother remembered about the pregnancy test, she asked me if I got a call, and I said no, so she called the clinic, and found out that I was positive. So yeah, I found out when I was already like five months," Gabi admitted.
"Woah," Taylor said.
"How'd you guys meet?" Cheryl asked confused.
"Oh right, you werent there," Gabriella said with a laugh.
The gang each told a part of the story, with Troy and Gabi starting abou tthe ski lodge.
"Does that mean I'm the father?" Troy asked slowly.
Gabi turned away from the group and looked at Troy Jr. before saying, "Yeah, you are."
Taylor laughed, "Troy's a father, could have never believed it."
Gabi placed Troy Jr. on her lap with a sigh, and said, "Troy, this is your father."
"Aren't you the person who was at Grandma's house?" Jr. asked eyeing his father weird.
Gabi looked at Troy.
"Uh, yeah, that was me," Troy said.
"Okay, do you play basketball," Junior asked spinning the basketball on his fingertip.
"As a matter of fact, I do," Troy said.
"Okay, let's play in the backyard," Junior said.
Zeke, Jason, Chad, and Troy followed Troy Jr. as he led the way to the backyard.
"How do you feel about Troy being your kid, Troy?" Chad asked with a laugh.
"He doesnt really look like me," Troy said.
"Pft, you guys look exactly alike," Zeke snorted.
"Not really," Troy said.
"Come on, slow pokes!" Junior shouted.
