The last fight Gabriella and Troy had broke them up for good and it left Gabriella distraught all she did was cry and go to class, Troy on the other hand was taking it just fine,just shooting hoops.
Jack came outside to their basketball court in the backyard "son?" He called to Troy who was missing every basket he shot.
"Fuck!" Troy cursed getting frustrated "yeah dad"
"Are you alright Troy?" His dad asked "I spoke to Chad, he said you didn't make prom Saturday"
"Yeah I'm fine" he said nonchalantly shooting another basket and missing.
Jack grabbed the ball after it came down
"Son I've known you since before you could open your eyes" he stated "when I see something wrong, more than likely I am right that something is wrong"
"Dad" Troy said looking down breathing hard
"Heard from Gabriella?" He asked
Troy paused at the sound of her name, he really fucked up and hurt her pretty badly,he wanted to call her and apologize for what he said and done to her, but he knew she didn't want to talk to him,also graduation was in a few days but Gabriella really didn't care if he crossed her path.
"Nah" He said truthfully walking over to his dad and reaching for the ball "I haven't...why?
"You don't think that's a little weird,she's your girlfriend Troy" He dad said getting stern
"And"Troy added shooting another basket
"What happened with you two?" Jack asked concerned
"Nothing dad, but she isn't my girlfriend anymore"said Troy feeling the hurt behind those words and walking away to sit on the picnic table they had in the yard a few feet away. Jack followed his son and stood in front of him.
"Troy?" Asked jack looking over Troy who had his head down "I'm gonna ask you again and I need an answer,do you understand me?"
Troy just nodded.
"What happened between you and Gabriella? Obviously it's something big because your whole personality changed,that young lady was your heart..." Jack stopped "so?"
Troy sat his head up and played with his class ring "we had a fight,dad...she's umm...she's pregnant,I kinda told her she wasn't keeping the baby,lost my temper and hurt her a little"
"Pregnant?" Was all Jack heard and put his hands on his waist.
"Yeah" Troy answered slightly nodding
"Troy what are going to do with a kid,and your future at U of A?" Jack said sternly
"I don't know dad" Troy said getting upset again "that's kinda why I told her she wasn't keeping it, she said she was gonna have it and she'll raise the baby by herself"
"That's not an option Troy" Jack told him "you helped make that child you're gonna he'll raise that child"
"Dad,she's not gonna let me anywhere near her and that baby after I hurt her"
"Y'all will come to a term of agreement along the way" Jack said "how far along is she?"
"I don't know" Troy said truthfully
"I thought I stayed on top of you about using protection Troy" Jack said blaming himself
"We had sex about a month and a half ago,we didn't use a condom but she said she was birth control...obviously it didn't work,I regret that shit" Troy put his head down.
"Well the baby is now growing in her body it's too late" Jack told him waving his hand around to get a point. "Gabriella is a sweet girl,she would never do anything to hurt you,Troy...I think you owe her an apology"
"She's not gonna answer that phone" Troy knew Gabriella like the back of his hand,whenever he would make her even slightly upset,he'll try to call and apologize and she'll ignore the calls.
"Well send a text"
"I can try" Troy said getting up off the table
"Come on,your mother has dinner waiting" Jack said grabbing the back of Troy's neck as they walked together "and tell her she's going to be a grandma,she might faint" he laughed
Troy just shook his head
Gabriella was her room with Taylor and Kelsi,they came to California to get her for graduation in the next two days.
"Omg a baby!!" Taylor squealed getting overly excited.
"Yeah"Gabriella said quietly
"What's wrong Gabriella" Kelsi asked "you don't look happy"
"I'm happy Kelsi" Gabriella started "it's just...Troy"
"What's the matter with Troy?" Taylor asked her
"He's making me raise this baby by myself"Gabriella said feeling tears fill her eyes.
"What?!" Both Kelsi and Taylor said together
"He said it'll fuck up his future" Gabriella said using the quote fingers.
They just sat on Gabriella's bed in shock
"Well hopefully he comes to his senses Gabriella,he's a guy he may just be a little scared" Taylor reassured her.
"Yeah whatever!" Gabriella snapped "he's just being an asshole,this is my first baby too, I'm scared and putting my future on hold for this baby too, this child was definitely not in the plan but it's coming"
"Hey" Kelsi got up and put her arm around Gabriella "We're willing to help you with our little niece or nephew"
Gabriella just smiled then it faded when she saw a text flash across her phone's screen. It was Troy
"He's texting me now" she said reading the text message "apologizing... I don't want to hear from him right now,not ever"
"Gabriella Montez you're having a baby by him" Taylor said getting up "I know he hurt you, but just take your time to forgive him to assure it doesn't happen again,you don't want your baby to be fatherless"
"Want a bet?" Gabriella smart mouthed
Kelsi just laughed.
"That's why you're pregnant now" Taylor said "that mouth"
"Whatever, I'm ready to go" Gabriella chuckled
In about 30 minutes the three girls headed downstairs to go to Albuquerque for their graduation.
Ms Montez met the girls at the door.
"See y'all in a couple of days at graduation,girls" Maria said kissing Gabriella's cheek "take care of my grand baby,mija"
"I will mommy, I love you" Gabriella said smiling
"I love you too" Maria smiled back at her.
She also kissed Taylor and Kelsi's cheeks before shoving them out of the door. "Drive safely chicas" she said,couldn't help but be a caring mother "take turns driving, that's a long drive"
"We will mama Montez" Taylor told ms.montez.
They left out of the front door,packed the car and drove off.
