Author's note:

Thanks for waiting. I'm back so I'll be updating a lot more. Ok well enjoy the next chapter! Oh and just to let you know, Troy and Gabriella are staying at Gabriella's parents house that they got down here to help with the baby. And they are in Hawaii for a little trip. And Caitlyn's staying at Josh's parents house.

Chapter 8:

Will she live? Or will she die:

Taylor and Chad's house. Sharpay and Zeke are staying at their house.

"You know I'm not having the party today." Taylor decided.

"Why?" Chad asked.

"Well because Gabi's in the hospital and may die. And it doesn't seem fair that we're throwing a party for my baby and not Anna, Gabriella's baby." Taylor explained.

"Yeah. You know we should throw a party for your baby, and Anna when Gabriella gets out of the hospital." Sharpay suggested.

"That's a great idea." Taylor agreed.

"Yeah. Pretty smart Shar." Chad complimented.

"Yeah, who knew you could think of something like this." Zeke said.

"Thanks." Sharpay said. "Wait a minute."

"So I really hope Gabriella's ok." Zeke said changing the subject as soon as possible.

"Don't change the subject." Sharpay demanded. "Are you calling me stupid?"

"No. No. I didn't say that. I just meant that well...you weren't the brightest in high school, that's all." Zeke explained hoping she wouldn't get mad and dump him.

"Either were you!" Sharpay said.

"Neither." Taylor corrected.

"Whatever." Sharpay said.

"Ok. Let's just forget about it." Zeke explained stopping the madness.

"Fine. But you were just as stupid." Sharpay said.

At the hosital.

"So doctor...Do you think she'll make it?" Nurse Betty asked.

"I don't know. She has really bad head damage. But I am surprised she doesn't have a concusion. You know she was in here a few months ago because of a concusion. And she was here 2 days ago delivering her baby girl. She's been here a lot. Poor girl." The doctor said.

"Yes I did know that." Betty said.

At me and Gabriella's house. 2 days later.

"Oh Anna. I wish mommy would come home. She I bet misses you a lot." I said tickling her. "She would be very mad if you had to live your life without a mommy."

Sharpay called.

"Hey Shar." I said.

"Hey Troy. Have you heard anything from the hospital yet?" Sharpay wondered.

"No. I wish they would tell me things though. I want to be sure they actually are doing their best." I said.

"Yeah. How's Anna?" Sharpay asked. "How's she taking it?"

"Pretty good." I laughed.

"Ok. Well I just wanted to tell you that Taylor posponed her party until Gabi gets out of the hospital, and then instead of just having a party for Jordan, we're throwing it for Anna too." Sharpay explained to me.

"Really? Great!" I said.

"And do you know what's weird. The doctor's told her that she was having a girl, but she had a boy. And the girl's name was going to be Gabriella. They can be wrong some times." Sharpay explained.

"Really? Well yes they can be wrong about that stuff." I said.

"Ok. Well we'll call you with more news about the party. Though instead of calling it a party I want to call it a baby shower, but Taylor doesn't want to. She said that everyone has baby showers. So she's just calling it a party." Sharpay explained.

"Weird." I said. "Well ok. I'll talk to you later."

"Yep. Bye Troy. And don't worry. Gabriella's gonna be fine. You just hang in there." Sharpay explained.

"Thanks Sharpay. I sure hope so. Bye." I said.

"Bye." Sharpay said. Then we hung up.

"So what did he think of the party idea?" Taylor asked.

"He thought it was a great idea." Sharpay explained.

"Good. So I was thinking of..." Taylor was interupted by the doorbell.

"Oh that's... My baby!" Taylor said not telling us what the name was yet.

"Oo." Sharpay said excitedly.

Taylor got the door.

"Hey Mom." Taylor said giving her a quick hug.

"Hi. Taylor." Taylor's mom said sad.

"Wait a minute mom. Where's Jake?" Taylor asked.

"Jake!" Sharpay, Zeke and Chad said finally knowing the name.

"Uh. Tay. I think you need to sit down to hear what I'm about to tell you." Taylor's mom said worried.

"What's wrong? Where's Jake?" Taylor asked almost getting tears in her eyes, worried about what happened.

"Well sweetie. Yesterday your father took Jake for a little stroll around the park in his stroller. And...well when they were crossing the street to come back...a car slid into them. And they're both dead..." Her mom said almost getting teary herself.

Taylor's POV:

"What?" I yelled. And then I started to cry.

"Oh my god..." Chad said, speechless.

"I can't believe this." Sharpay said hugging me. I was now balling.

"Who was the driver?" Zeke asked.

"Well he was drunk and was totally out of control. And he also hit 3 other cars. And each of them with 2 in the car. 3 of them died. His name is Jed Tangerman." My mom explained. "I am so sorry sweetie."

Then my mom started crying.

"What?" Sharpay yelled. "Jed!"

"Who's Jed?" Zeke asked.

"Jed. He's the guy who caused Gabriella's concusion and something else I'm not supposed to say. He's the guy who killed your baby and your father?" Sharpay said shocked.

"Well does he have brown hair, glasses, and is really fat?" My mom asked.

"Yes. I have to call Troy." Sharpay said grabbing her cell and dialing our number.

"Hello." Troy answered.

"Troy. You will never believe what happened!" Sharpay said up set into the phone.

"What?" Troy asked anxious.

"Taylor's baby, and father got hit by a drunk driver and they both are dead. And guess who was the drunk driver." Sharpay said really up set.

"What?" Troy asked sadly. "Taylor's baby and father died?"

"Yeah. Well the drunk driver was Jed." Sharpay exclaimed into the phone.

"What? Jed killed Taylor's baby and father? I can't believe him!" Troy yelled into the phone.

"I know. And that's not all. He killed 3 other people in their cars." Sharpay explained.

"Oh my god!" Troy yelled. "I cannot believe him!"

"You said that already." Sharpay told him.

"Well I still cannot believe him." Troy exclamied.

"Yeah...Well any news on Gabi yet?" Sharpay asked curious.

"No. Not yet. But I guess they did say that she might be able to come home in like a week or so if she gets better." Troy explained grabbing Anna's bottle.

"Good. So how's Anna?" Sharpay asked.

"Same as the last time you asked me." Troy said feeding Anna.

"Ok. Well I don't know if we're having the party. But I guess we might have it for Anna still. But not for Anna and Jake." Sharpay said.

"Jake? Is that's his name?" Troy asked.

"Yeah. It's really sad that her dad and him died. I mean I was so pumped up to see him for the first time." Sharpay explained.

"Yeah. It is really, really sad. I feel so bad. How's Taylor taking it?" Troy asked.

"Terrible. First she loses her husband now her baby son." Sharpay explained feeling bad. "Well I guess I'm only sad about her losing her son, not Todd. He was a real jerk."

"Yeah well the way Gabi talks about him, he sounds like a jerk." Troy said.

"Yeah. Well bye Troy." Sharpay said.

"Bye Sharpay." Troy said then hung up.

"Oh Troy!" Sharpay yelled but Troy had already hung up. "Oh well."

"How'd Troy take it?" Chad asked.

"Not good. He feels real bad. And he's really up set about the fact that the driver was Jed. I mean Jed is a total jerk, and practically a murderer." Sharpay complained. "I can't believe they didn't put him in jail."

"So when did this happen?" Taylor asked. And yes, I am totally changing the subject.

"Yesterday." My mom explained.

"And Sharpay, so you know this Jed guy?" I asked.

"Well ya. I mean Gabriella works with him." Sharpay explained.

"Well I think when Gabriella gets out of the hospital, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind." I explained thinking of how I would do it.

"Ok." Sharpay said.

"He so should of went to jail." Zeke added. "I mean he almost killed Gabi. I mean to me that's pretty harsh."

"You think." I said.

"You know we need to think of a way to get him in jail. I mean I don't feel like Gabi is that safe with him not behind bars." Sharpay added. "I think we should set him up, but tricking him into doing something really bad and then film it and show it to the police."

"You know Sharpay, that's actually not a bad idea." Chad complimented.

"Thank you." Sharpay said.

"But how?" I asked.

"I have no clue." Sharpay said.

The next day.

Troy's POV:

"Morning Anna. Do you think mommy will come home today?" Troy said going into the room she was staying in. "I sure hope so.

Then the door bell rang. I got it.

"Hey guys." I said letting Sharpay, Taylor, Zeke and Chad in.

"Hey Troy." Chad said.

"Look Taylor, I'm really sorry about Jake and your father." I explained.

"Thanks Troy." Taylor said hugging me.

"Well actually the reason we're here is because we have an idea to get Jed in the place where he has belonged in for months." Sharpay explained.

"Ok. I'm listening." I listened in.

"So we thought you could help us trick Jed into doing something bad and then we'd catch it on tape and show it to the police." Sharpay explained.

"Ok. I will do anything to get that guy someplace where he can't reach Gabi." I explained.

"Ok. So what are we going to do?" Zeke asked. We thought about it for a few minutes.

"I got it!" Sharpay yelled.

"What? What is it?" I asked.

"I think we should disguise one of us to be like a gangster or something. And then go up to Jed and say like your in need for a partner to do crime with. And then have him tell you what kind of things he's done in the past and record it." Sharpay explained. "And then we'll be taping it and having the police watching live and then have men that are hiding everywhere capture him."

"Shar that's brilliant!" Taylor said surprised.

"I have to say Sharpay. That's an awesome idea." I complimented.

"Thank you." Sharpay said.

Gabriella's POV:

In my car.

I am so glad they let me out. I mean it was just a hit in the head with a brick. Well I guess it did hit me pretty hard. And the scar is really bad. Oh I can't wait to see Troy again. And everyone else. And Anna. Oh I wonder how she's doing. I drove up to my house. And Sharpay and Zeke's car was there. And Taylor's car and Chad's car are here.

"I guess everyone's here." I said walking up to the door. Ok here I go. Then I opened the door.

"Hello?" I called into the house once I got in.

"Gabi!" Everyone yelled. Then they came running down to me.

"Hey!" I said hugging and kissing Troy. Then I hugged everyone else.

"What was the reason they let you out so soon?" Troy asked.

"What do you mean 'so soon'?" I asked.

"Well the doctor said you wouldn't be coming home for like another week." Troy explained.

"Oh. Well I guess he was wrong." I said. "And Taylor has your son came yet?"

"Uh...well sort of. Well no. He died in a crash. Some guy hit him and my dad and they both died." Taylor explained sadly.

"What?" I asked. "How did it happen?"

"Well they were just crossing a street and a drunk driver hit them." Taylor added.

"Yeah, and you'll never believe who the drunk driver was." Sharpay explained to me.

"Who?" I asked.

"Well do you remember when you got your concusion? And do you remember the guy who caused it?" Sharpay asked.

"You mean Jed?" I asked.

"He was the drunk driver." Troy explained.

"What? Now he should definitly go to jail. I mean first he practically murders me, and something else that I'm not gonna mention, and now he kills two people." I said.

"Yeah, well we have a plan that'll make us capture Jed confessing in front of one of us and we'll tape it and show it to the police." Taylor explained.

"Wait a minute. How are we supposed to go up to him and and make him confess. I mean he would have to be really stupid to fall for that." I said.

"We're gonna be in disguise." Chad added.

"As what a gangster?" I asked though that's probably not what it was.

"Exactly." Troy said.

"Who's gonna do it then? But I'll tell you this, it's not gonna be me." I added.

"Well we thought it should be you because well I don't know we just thought of you..." Sharpay added.

"No way. I am not talking to the guy ever again. There is no way." I explained.

"Oh come on Gabi. You know him the best." Zeke added.

"But he'll recognize my voice." I added.

"But..." Taylor added but then Troy interupted.

"I'll do it." Troy said.

"Oh thank you Troy." I said giving him a kiss.

"Are you sure Troy?" Sharpay asked. "I mean this is really dangerous."

What is she saying? She was about to put me in danger and wasn't worried.

"I know but he doesn't know me. And well...I just would rather have me do it then Gabi." Troy explained.

"Ok then. I guess Troy's doing it." Taylor said.

The next morning.

4:00 am.

"Ok. Troy are you ready to do this?" I asked waking up.

"Ahhhhhhh..." Troy moaned.

"Oh come on Troy. This is the day where we finally get Jed in jail...I've wanted this day to come ever since I found out he wasn't put in jail the first time." I explained shaking him.

"Yeah but that's not until the sun's actually up. Now go back to sleep." Troy said pulling me down.

"Fine. But I'm gonna wake up in an hour, and so will you." I said laying my head on Troy.

1 hour later.

Anna's crying.

"Uh...Anna. I'm too tired to get up. Come on. Go back to sleep." I said getting up.

"Now you know how I feel." Troy said coming with. I took Anna into bed with us and started feeding her.

"Well I cannot wait until we get Jed behind bars." I spoke.

"Yeah. I can't either." Troy agreed. "I don't feel that you're very safe unless he's in jail."

"Yeah. I don't feel safe." I said.

"Well at least he will be in about 24 hours." Troy said comforting me.

"Yeah. He will." I said.

"You know when you were in the hospital, the doctor said that their was a possible chance of you dying." Troy explained to me.

"I know. The doctor told me when I woke up for the first time." I said. "I wouldn't like it if I died."

"Me neither. And when Anna got older she wouldn't." Troy said putting his arm around me.

"Yeah. But I am really glad I didn't." I said kissing Troy on the cheek.

"Yeah. Me too." Troy said returning my kiss.
