"Troy?" He heard some say. He turned around to be facing a surprised Taylor.
"Whats up?" she asked watching as Troy hid a photo frame behind his back. Her eyes darted towrds the open cupboard.
"Oh Hell no" She muttered
"You knew?" Troy choked as he pulled the photo back out and stared at the birth certificate
Taylor nodded and stood up. "Troy, you have got to understand...she did what was best"
"What was best...Taylor im a dad" He breathed, not quite believeing it. I'm a dad was all he could keep saying in his head. It was unreal.
"I know, but listen Troy" Taylor started
"Whats going on?" A sleepy Chad asked. Taylor and Troy turned to him to find that not only Chad but everyone was awake looking at them.
"Didn't you guys know? Taylor did and i just found out" Troy said
"What?" they asked
"Im a dad...A friggin' dad, Shar was right Tyler is mine..!" Troy said in a fake-happy nasty kind of way.
"Oh my god" Shar said putting her hands on her mouth. "Where's Gabriella?"
They all looked each other then in one swift moment they all got up and ran up the stairs in a rush all wanting to see Gabriella, in Taylors case warn her.
"Gabriella!" Taylor called
Gabriella came to the top of the stairs holding Tyler, noticing the gang running up them. A look of fury on Troy's face.
"He knows?" She asked quickly. Taylor nodded. In one movement Gabriella ran into Tylers room shutting the door on the gang and locking it.
"Gabriella!" Troy yelled banging on the door.
"Go away" Gabriella cried as Tyler broke into tears also. "Shh" She whisperd to her crying son rocking him back and forth.
"Guys lets leave them to it" Taylor said motioning to everyone but Troy. They grudingly nodded and followed her downstairs.
"Why Gabriella? Why didn't you tell me?" Troy asked through the door.
"Troy go away" Gabriella cried. "Please leave me and Tyler alone"
Troy slid to the floor leaning his back against the door. "No...Gabriella, i need some explainations"
"Troy...It's complicated" He heard a sobbing Gabriella yell through the door above the screams of Tyler. "Look, i'll explain it to you just go downstairs, let me calm Tyler down then i'll come down" She said "I'll explain to everyone"
"You mean it?" He asked standing up
"Yes" She said still trying to comfort a frantic Tyler
"Ok" He said as he left and ran down stairs to the rest of the gang. "She is coming down once she has settled Tyler"
They all nodded and proceeded to sit in complete silence.
-With Gabriella-
"Urgh" Gabriella said planting a kiss on Tylers now calm head "What have i gotten myself into baby?" She asked him knowing she wouldn't get an answer, He just looked up at her innocently, his puffy eyes trying to go back to their normal state.
"Mommy" He said tiredly.
"It's ok baby" Gabriella rested him down in his crib "You go to sleep" She said. She stood there with him and watched him fall asleep, wishing she didn't have to face the gang. Once Tyler was asleep she made her way downstairs and into the completely silent living room. Everyones head turned to her.
"Ok. I'll explain everything then you can ask questions" Gabriella sighed as she took a seat on the floor facing the group. They all nodded for her to continue.
"Ok, i found out i was pregnant a few days before i left East High, Alburqueqe for that matter. I told my mom and she said we had to notify the school. Mr Matsui decided that it would be best if i left East High. So i did" Gabriella started "I didn't say a proper goodbye because frankly i hate them, and i knew you would have all of these questions and you would all make it a thousand times harder to leave..." Gabriella turned to Troy "I left without telling you, you were the father because i wanted you to persue your dreams and i knew you would be all Mr.Responsible and not follow them if you knew."
"True" Chad said
"Shhh" Sharpay shushed him.
"Anyway, i moved away and had Tyler, my mom was a great help and bought me a home tutor so i could still learn and look after Tyler. But she could see how much i missing having friends and a normal life. So she said that when it came to senior year i should ring Mr Matsui and ask to come back. I did and he said yes...so i came back"
"Why didn't you tell us about him?" Troy asked
"Becuase i guess i wanted you guys to forgive me for leaving without knowing about why i did. Im sure if you knew about Tyler you would of forgiven me for the sake of it and not mean it"
"Come Gabi give us a bit more credit" Chad said frowning
"But i didn't know that at the time, i was scared and frightened. Since i became pergnant with Tyler i have had nothing but people judging me from my doctor to the woman in the baby shop. It has never stopped i just thought you guys would judge too"
"I didn't" Came Taylor's voice "I never judged you when i found out..."
"I know"
"So why didn't you feel secure enough to tell everybody" Sharpay asked
"I was still frightened, just because Taylor was ok with it didn't mean you guys would be"
"Well i am" Chad spoke up and getting up. He walked over to Gabriella and bent over giving her a hug.
"Same here" Zeke said mimicking Chads actions
"Ooh me too...I mean i'm an auntie!!" Sharpay clapped then hugging Gabriella
"Thanks" Gabriella said. Everyone then turned to Troy. He stared at Gabriella. Gabriella stared back hoping for his forgiveness.
"Im sorry...But i can't" He said standing up and leaving the living room.
Gabriella sprung up "I have to deal with this...guys try and get some sleep" She said as she exiting the room.
Gabriella found Troy in the kitchen sitting at the breakfast table. She sat oppsotie him "Troy?"
"I can't understand it" He said looking up at her. Gabriella noticed tears in his eyes.
"I'm a dad?"
Gabriella nodded "You are"
"..."
"Troy i meant what i said i didn't tell you cause i wanted you to persue your dreams" Gabriella said
"Did you ever think.." He said through gritted teeth "That maybe my dream was to be with you, marry you and have a family"
"No..But even so you wouldn't of wanted a baby at 16!" Gabriella said
"Who said i wouldn't of? No one! You didn't give me that decision!" Troy said angrily
"I thought what i was doing was for the best"
"FOR THE BEST! GABRIELLA WHEN YOU LEFT YOU BROKE MY HEART!"
"Leaving wasn't easy on me either Troy" Gabriella said trying to remain calm
"I loved you Gabriella"
"I loved you to. Christ! Troy i still love you...but i know after all whats happened, we will never go back to what it was like"
"..."
"Don't you think i regret the way i acted every single day" Gabriella persued
"Well as long as you feel guilty" Troy said sarcastically
"Troy what can i do? Look i don't expect you to act like a dad to Tyler..."
"Wait, hold on i want to be a dad to Tyler!" Troy interupted
"You do?"
"Yes!! Gabriella wether we are ok is a different matter but I want to be in Tylers life. If you will let me" He added
"..."
"Gabriella you can't just tell me i have a son, dangle him in front of me, then say you don't expect me to be part of his life"
"Im doing it to protect you"
"Gabriella im old enough i don't need protecting!" Troy said "Maybe when i was 16, but now im nearly 18 and i don't need it"
"Troy listen to me you don't know what it's like, you have baskteball..."
"Gabriella!!! LISTEN TO ME OK?!?! I want to be part of his life, i need you to let me in" He said urgently. He could feel Tyler and Gabriella slipping away from him, making him want to hold on even tighter.
"Troy, lets just say if, and thats an if i let you in. How would it work?"
"I don't know, we could work something out like I could come see him most days after basketball pratcice and school and on the weekends" Troy told her with a hint of hope. He was no longer angry with Gabriella or the situation. He was now just trying to hold onto everything.
"Gabriella, please!" Troy pleaded. Gabriella looked at him, her heart full of sorrow towards him. She wanted to let him in, she just didn't want to get hurt again. Even if it was her fault last time, she wasn't going to let it happen again.
"I don't want to get hurt.." Gabriella mumbled
"I promise you here and now Gabriella i will not hurt you when it comes to Tyler"
"Oh and what about the rest of the time"
"I promise that too, we may not be a 'couple' but i'll always protect you, jeeze your the mother of my child!"
They sat in silence for a few minutes. "Let me in" Troy whispered
Gabriella looked up at him, tears threatening to fall.
Slowly as she looked into his big blue eyes she nodded "I'll let you in"
Will Gabriella really let Troy in?
