Chapter 32
"Congratulations your pregnant Gabriella." The three of them just looked at the doctor in shock.
"P-P-Pregnant?" Gabriella stammered out as the doctor smiled and nodded.
"You are about 2 months along. I have to go now but if you have any questions ask the nurse to give me a call." Lisa thanked the doctor while the other two tried to take in everything.
"Gabi did you know you were?" Jack asked, as Gabriella shook her head no.
"I'm going to go and try Troy again. Don't worry I won't tell him." Lisa walked out leaving Jack and Gabriella alone.
"Gabriella. I know this probably isn't what you and Troy had planned but I just want to say thank you." Gabriella was confused. "You are giving me a grandchild that I might have a chance of meeting because we both know that the chances of me surviving are slim." Gabriella nodded tearfully as Jack sat on the edge of her bed and hugged her.
"I'm scared. What if Troy hates me? What will I do? I have no family around for me to fall back on if Troy doesn't want this baby." Jack rubbed her back soothingly as the door opened.
"Gabi? Baby what's going on?" Troy asked as he walked in ahead of Lisa. Jack stood up from the bed letting Troy take his place.
"Troy I'm pregnant." Troy's face paled considerably. I am the biggest loser in the world. I got my fiancée pregnant and then I sleep with someone else when Gabriella needed me. Troy just sat there for a few minutes in silence. "Troy are you going to say anything?"
"I know we didn't plan this but I promise we will make this work," Troy kissed the top of her forehead. "You do know Chad is going to kill me!" Gabriella laughed as Troy wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into a hug. I have no idea what I am going to do.
"Well I will have to stop him because you're going to be a daddy." Troy smiled as Gabriella kissed him but felt really guilty and pulled back.
"I love you mommy." Gabriella smiled as Troy got hit on the head by his dad.
"You complained about our mushy moments in front of you the other day but I see its ok for you to do it." Troy shook his head.
"Yep because we're young and we're the kids. Whereas kids' seeing the adults is weird." Gabriella laughed as Lisa shook her head at the two Bolton men. Lisa noticed that Troy seemed a bit distracted as Gabriella and Jack talked.
"Hey Troy can I talk to you for a minute?" Troy looked at his mom suspiciously but followed her out anyway. After closing the door behind him Lisa spoke again. "What's wrong? You should be happy that you and Gabriella are having a baby." Troy sighed as he leaned against the wall.
"I did something really stupid yesterday." Lisa waved her hand telling him to continue. "I kinda had a go at Gabi yesterday and then because I was still so upset about dad I went to a party with some old friends."
"Please tell me you didn't." Lisa asked closing her eyes.
"I did and now I feel horrible because I don't want to lose Gabi and this baby but I don't know if I can lie to her." Lisa opened her eyes and looked at him.
"You have to tell her Troy because if she finds out from someone else there will be no way you can save your relationship." Lisa told Troy before walking back in the room leaving Troy outside.
Back with the gang
Everyone was sitting in the main room of the girl's apartment after listening to Jason and Kelsi tell them how their appointment went when the phone rang.
"Put it on speaker Chad." Sharpay instructed as Chad did so.
(Chad Stacey)
"Hello?" Chad asked.
"Hey Chad its Stacey."
"Stacey who?"
"Stacey from East High."
"Oh hey. What's up?"
"Is Troy around?"
"No why?"
"Can you tell him last night I had fun and when he is next in town maybe we could hook up again?" Chad and the rest of the group's eyes widened.
"Why what happened last night?"
"We went to a party with some of the old guys and Troy spent the night with me but left before I woke." Chad and the other boys looked ready to kill someone.
"Sure. Bye." Chad clicked the button as he turned to the others. "I am going to kill Troy for cheating on Gabi!"
"Yeah your not the only one. I can't believe Troy would do that to Gabi." Jason spoke as Chad stood up.
"Where are you going?" Zeke asked.
"I'm going to set Troy straight and see if Gabriella already knows and don't try and stop me. I'll be back before Monday don't worry." Chad grabbed his jacket and ran out.
"I wouldn't want to be Troy right now." Jason joked as Kelsi smacked him.
"Gabi's going to be heartbroken." Ryan said.
"Hold on this might all be a lie." Aaron, who was with the gang, spoke up.
"How?" Taylor asked confused.
"Belle remember in high school, didn't Stacey have like the biggest crush on Troy and always tried to get with him?" everyone looked at Annabelle.
"Oh yeah, one time she told me she would do virtually anything to get Troy." Annabelle told the others.
"Well we may want to call Chad and warn him before he does something stupid." Aaron pulled his cell out and dialled Chad's number. "It's going straight to the voicemail."
"Maybe we need to just let Troy and Gabriella set him straight." Sharpay suggested as everyone agreed knowing it was the only option.
A/N: What will Chad do? Gabriella finds out the truth, how will she react? Please review. Thanks!
