Thanks for the reviews! Just so everyone knows, it's 3 weeks before the wedding. I'm so sorry I didn't mention that part!
Troy just stood there, shocked of what she just said. "Uh... that's great!"
Gabriella's worried face became less tense. "Really? You think so?"
"Yeah, I mean, this is really sudden, but wonderful."
She smiled at him. "It's all just happening too fast."
"I know. I really wasn't expecting to come through to the door, and you tell me your pregnant."
She almost had tears in her eyes. She started to smile at the same time. She wrapped her arms around him and they hugged. "What are we going to do?"
"What do you mean? You do want to have this baby, don't you?"
"Yeah, I do, but it's just going to be hard, worrying about it and then we still have to plan," she said.
"I know we can do it. We should make a doctors appointment soon," Troy said.
"Fine, but can we wait just a little bit. At least until after we've settled a little?"
"All right, but I want to make it soon," he said.
"I know. Me too," she muttered.
"Is that why you ran an 'errand?'" Troy asked.
"No," she muttered. "I was hungry and just happen to pass by the tests. I decided to take a few and here I am now."
"Wow," Troy smiled. "I'm going to be a dad."
"Yeah, and I'm going to be a mom!" She smiled, and got up and stood next to him, wrapping her arms around his waist.
He kissed her lightly. "Oh, your dress fitting is tomorrow," he said, breaking the romantic moment.
"Okay..." she groaned. "That reminds me. I should call Taylor, Sharpay, Rachael, and Kelsi to meet me at the bridal place... and tell them the news!"
"We're going to be parents." Troy smiled at her.
She smiled and bit her lip. "I know."
The next day, Gabriella woke up to a smile on her face. She just couldn't believe it at all. She was going to have a baby. She was going to be a mom. She would teach her child to say mommy and daddy, walk, ride a bike, and so much more. The whole deal. Of course, Troy would be there every step of the way. She suddenly felt much more independent. Maybe it was the fact of the thought of taking care of a baby and getting married.
"Are you up?"
She turned over and saw Troy facing her. "Yep."
He smiled. "What are you thinking about?"
"What do you think?" she laughed.
"Our baby."
"Ding, ding, ding! You're correct," she giggled.
"What's my prize?"
She leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
"Hhhmmm, we should have more game show prize stuff."
"I'll think about it."
They leaned back, with his arm around her. "You know, I'm surprised you haven't throw up yet."
Suddenly Gabriella felt a sickness in her stomach. "Thanks a lot." She got up, hand over her mouth, and ran into the bathroom. Troy could hear her in the bathroom. After five minutes, she came back in and lay back on the bed, with her hand over her stomach.
"I'm sorry," Troy said.
"What?"
"That I made you, you know."
"Troy, it's not your fault. I was joking," she pushed his arm, playfully.
"Good. Are you sure you don't feel sick today?"
"Well, my stomach and my head hurt a little bit but I'm okay. Besides, today I'm going to the dress fitting, and so are you, so I can't miss it."
"Well you could..." Troy muttered.
"Troy, I don't want to argue. Let's just drop it. I'm going and that's it," she got out of bed and got dressed.
'Must be hormones,' Troy thought. "Sorry."
She stopped what she was doing. "No, I'm sorry. I snapped at you and it was unnecessary."
"All right. I'm sorry, you're sorry. Let's just forget it," Troy said, getting up.
"Sounds good."
When Gabriella pulled up to the bridal place, she could see her four girlfriends standing in the window. She got out and ran across the street into the store.
"Hey," she said, trying to catch her breath.
They turned around. "Gabi! Hi," Taylor came up and hugged her. They all said hi and hugged, pretty much.
"Are you ready? They said they're ready for you, Gabriella," Sharpay said.
"Uh, yeah. Sure," she went into the dressing room and put on her dress. The dress was white, with sequins delicately put around the dress in a circular motion. It was strapless and revealed her curves, nicely. Then she walked out onto the platform to be fitted. She received many 'awes' from her friends and even the dress fitter.
"You like it?" Gabriella asked, shyly.
"Do we ever? Gabi, that's gorgeous!" Rachael exclaimed.
"You think? I love it! It's beautiful," she said, running her hand along the side of her hip, feeling it press against her skin.
"Yeah, Troy's going to love it, too, I'm sure." Kelsi smiled.
Gabriella smiled. After she was done, the bridesmaids, well and Taylor (maid of honor) got fitted for their dresses. They were violet with tiny sequins on the chest area and toward the bottom. Very basic, yet elegant. When they were all done, the five of them went out to lunch at a cafe' at the corner.
"Those dresses were so pretty. Especially yours," Sharpay said to Gabriella.
"Thanks," Gabriella said.
"Yeah, I can't wait until the wedding," Rachael said.
"Totally. It'll be great. Now the only one to get married is Kelsi," Taylor said.
"Nah. Jason and me are just chilling. We're not ready to commit to anything yet. It's kind of nice not being married."
Gabriella just stared at her. How could she not want to get married? It's the best feeling ever! Or is it? Will she miss being single at all? She decided to stop thinking like that, after all, her wedding was in three weeks and she was getting married to the man she loved more than anything. Gabriella was thinking to herself when would be a good time to tell them. Would they be happy? Would they think it was too soon? Would they be worri-?
"Gabi? Why are you so quiet?" Taylor asked, waking her from her thoughts.
"Oh, me?"
They all nodded.
"Just thinking," she muttered.
"About the wedding?" Rachael smiled.
"Not exactly."
"What then?" Kelsi asked.
"Okay, I guess I'll tell you now," Gabriella took a deep breath.
"What's wrong? Gabriella?" Sharpay said, worried. "Are you okay?"
Gabriella laughed a little bit. "No, I'm fine. Okay, I'm pregnant."
They all looked at her. Rachael was the first to break the silence. "That's great!"
Gabriella smiled at her reaction and looked at everybody else.
"Gabi! I'm so happy for you!" Sharpay screamed and hugged her right away.
"This is so wonderful! Wow, I can't believe it! My best friend is having a baby!" Taylor said and hugged her. "You better make me the god mother!"
"Don't worry, I'll make you all god mothers," she laughed and looked at Kelsi.
They all looked at her, waiting for an answer. "Oh, that's really great. Congratulations," she said.
"Thanks, everyone."
"When did you find out?" Taylor asked.
"Yesterday."
"Did you tell Troy?"
"Of course. He's very happy and so am I. I'm just stressed with the little details in the wedding and then now finding out this. But, I'm happy."
When she got home, Troy was sitting on the couch with a book.
"Hey," she said, shutting the door.
He looked up. "Hi. How was your day?"
"Good. The dress is perfect. What about you?"
"The tux is good. So is all the guys'." Troy said.
"That's good. One less thing to worry about. What are you reading?" She asked.
He flipped the book around to face her revealing, 'How To Be a Parent.'
Gabriella laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"You," she said, trying to calm herself down.
"What did I do?"
"What your reading."
"What's wrong with it?"
"Nothing."
"Then why did you laugh?"
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to laugh. I'm glad you're reading because then you'll be an excellent parent," She said, sitting on his lap.
"We are going to be excellent parents."
A/N: Please review! So, Troy's happy about it. That's good. How could he not be? Anyway, thanks for reading and now review!
