Chapter 39
Taylor and Chad
Chad was round the McKessie's house with Taylor. They had spent the day with their two families together hanging out.
"Just think in a few months we're going to have four best friends with two babies." Taylor said as she and Chad lay on her old bed.
"I know. I feel sorry for you girls who have to live with it when the babies are born." Chad was holding Taylor by the waist as she rested her head on his chest.
"It doesn't really bother me or Sharpay because we want to help out. Troy actually said it would probably easier for him and Gabs to move into the boys apartment until they can save enough for their own place so that the baby can have either Ryan or Jason's old rooms." Chad nodded.
"You know I just can't see the two of them with kids. I remember when it was just Troy, me, Zeke and Jason. We always did everything together, even for the past few years its just been the four of us together and now its all changing." Taylor turned to look at Chad.
"Are you worried about us all falling apart? Because if you are nothing will break us all apart in fact these babies will bring us all together. Did you know Gabi isn't going to have to work once she has the babies because she's found out that in her mom's will she has been left quite a big sum of money that her dad wanted her to have for her 20th birthday." Chad was stroking Taylor's hair.
"Really? That's great for Gabi I guess because at least she will only have to juggle her classes with the baby and not having to work as well. Hey you know what we should do." Chad started.
"What should we do?" Taylor asked as Chad continued.
"None of us all have class at the same time right?" Taylor nodded. "Well we should get everyone together and make a rota for if someone is free they can baby-sit if someone has to be in class so that Gabi and Kelsi don't have to worry about finding someone to look after the babies." Taylor smiled and nodded.
"Have I told you how much I love you?" Chad grinned.
"No I don't think you have Miss Mckessie." Chad replied cheekily.
"Well Chad Danforth I, Taylor Mckessie love you." Taylor smiled as the two kissed.
Sharpay and Zeke
Sharpay and Zeke were spending the day shopping. Again. Sharpay had been dragging Zeke in and out of shops.
"Sharpay have you nearly finished?" Sharpay shook her head.
"I've finished looking for me but now I have to start looking for Gabriella and Kelsi and their baby's." Zeke rolled his eyes.
"Sharpay I'm sure you would have more fun doing that with the other girls so you can get their opinions." Sharpay smiled.
"Good advice Mr Baylor. We can go now then." Zeke smiled as he picked up Sharpay's hand and intertwined their fingers. Sharpay let put a sigh.
"You ok Shar?" Zeke asked.
"Yeah I'm just tired. Hey Zeke have you spoke to Troy about Coach?" everyone still called Jack coach even though he had always told them to call him Jack but they never did because coach just came more natural.
"No why?" Sharpay shrugged.
"I'm worried about Gabi and the baby because if Gabriella worries to much she will stress herself out and make herself ill. Trust me Zeke if she loses anyone else close to her she will die I know it. She's so scared." Zeke pulled Sharpay closer to him and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"I'm sure Troy is taking good care of her and I don't think Coach or Mrs Bolton would let anything happen to Gabriella." Sharpay smiled.
"Yeah I guess. Thanks Zeke so don't you think its weird that both Gabi and Kelsi are pregnant. I guess Gabi getting pregnant doesn't surprise me but I always thought Kelsi would be the last one out of us all to get pregnant." Zeke nodded.
"Yeah me too. I reckon it will be you and me in a few years time next or Chad and Taylor. I think Ryan and Annabelle will wait a while before they have kids and settle down." Sharpay smiled.
"Yeah probably. I can't wait till we graduate and start our life together." Sharpay up and kissed Zeke. Just then Sharpay's phone buzzed in her pocket. "Sorry it's Ryan." Zeke smiled as she answered.
"Hey Ry, what's up?…What?!…OMG! How you doing?…Well if you need to talk you know where I am…Bye." Sharpay closed her phone.
"What's up?" Zeke asked.
"Ryan and Annabelle have split up because they felt they were better of as best friends so it won't affect them living together." Sharpay explained.
"Well as long as Ryan knows we're all here for him if he wants then you have to support him and leave him alone." Zeke told Sharpay as they left.
Jason and Kelsi
Jason and Kelsi were back at Kelsi's parents house where all their family was gathered. They hadn't told anyone apart from the gang about the baby. The people there would be their parents and siblings.
"Jason what if they hate us?" Kelsi asked. She had been calm earlier but now she was worrying like mad about how their families would react to the news.
"Kelsi they won't hate us I promise. They will probably be shocked like when we got married but they will be happy and supportive." Jason reassured her kissing the top of her head and then bending down and kissing her tummy.
"I love you Mr Cross." Jason smiled as he stood back up.
"And I love you too Mrs Cross." Kelsi gave Jason a quick kiss before they went downstairs to announce the news to their families.
"Hey mom, dad." Kelsi said as she hugged her parents. Jason was doing the same to his.
"So what is the big news you need to tell us?" Kelsi's mom asked getting straight to the question on everyone's mind.
"Jason you tell them." Kelsi said grabbing his hand.
"Ok you might want to sit down for this. Everyone sat down apart from Jason and Kelsi. "Ok parents we have some news. You know we got married in the summer." They all nodded. "Well not long after we found out that Kelsi's pregnant." Everyone's jaw dropped.
"I told you they would hate us." Kelsi pulled her hand from Jason's and ran upstairs crying.
"I'm going to go check on her." Before Jason could move Kelsi's dad stopped him.
"How come you didn't tell us soon?" Jason shrugged.
"I guess we thought you would all be too mad with us for getting into this mess." Jason explained.
"We would have supported the two of you. And we still will so the two of you better not try and complain." Jason nodded.
"Thank you. I better go check Kelsi now." Jason ran upstairs and opened Kelsi's door to see her lying on the bed crying.
"Jason leave me alone." Kelsi's muffled voice said.
"Kels they aren't mad they were just surprised and wished we'd have told them earlier but have promised to be here for us."
Jason sat on the bed and hugged Kelsi who fell asleep in his arms.
