They stood inside their apartment looking around with smiles on their faces. Gabriella was being wrapped around in Troy's arms. She loved the way he smelled like cologne.
"I think we should tell them know." Troy said softly interrupting the silence.
"What are you talking about?" Gabriella asked confused.
"I think we should tell our parents right now." He explained.
"Wait, what happened to it was to early?" Gabriella asked looking up at Troy. With his expression and sound of his voice Gabriella could tell that he wasn't joking.
"Gabriella, I don't want you to live with Antonio anymore. He's bad and I can tell that. I don't feel like you our my unborn child is safe while you are living with him."
Gabriella couldn't help but smile. She loved that Troy cared so much about her and their baby. "I understand that, but I'm not ready to tell my mom yet." Gabriella said looking down at her feet.
"I don't want to tell my parents either, but we have to tell them." He stated.
Gabriella left the comfort of Troy's arms and sat on the couch that was already there. "You don't understand." She said very weakly.
Troy went over to Gabriella and went on his knees. He put his hands on her knees and looked into her eyes. "Than please make me." He said concerned.
Gabriella took a deep breath before she started. "My mom has never been disappointed in me. I was always the person she didn't have to worry about." She paused and whipped a tear that was running down her cheek off. "About five years ago when I was twelve my dad got diagnosed with cancer. About a year later he was really bad. I was thirteen when I visited him on his death bed. The last thing he said to me was "Gabriella you are a smart girl. I don't think that I'm going to be around much longer. I want you to do me a favor? Your mother has been through a lot of things and if you could try not to disappoint her.""
Troy looked at Gabriella who had tears running down her cheeks. He got from off of the floor and sat next to her on the couch. He put his arm around her.
Gabriella immediately fell into her boyfriends chest and started to cry. She couldn't help it.
"Gabriella it wasn't fair for your father to ask so much of you. It's not your fault." Troy said while stroking his girlfriends raven black hair.
"You don't understand." She said sobbing. "All I had to do was not disappoint her. That's all my father ever asked me to do was not disappoint her and I am."
"You are not a disappointment. If anything your mother should be happy. You just graduated one year earlier than the rest of your class." He said while wiping the tears off of her face. "You may be having a baby really young, but at least you didn't get pregnant with a one night stand guy. I'm going to be here for you and the baby through all eighteen years."
Gabriella sat up straight and wiped her face again. "Your right." She said with a weak but reasurring smile.
"So do you want to tell your mother now or do you want to wait?" Troy asked very politely.
"I think we should tell them now." Gabriella nodded.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah!"
Gabriella and Troy walked hand and hand entering Troy's house. When they walked in there were their parents sitting with blank expression on their faces.
Gabriella could see that her mom looked stressed and didn't feel like being bothered, but she couldn't wait any longer. If she didn't tell her mom know she never would.
Troy held Gabriella's hand tightly. They were standing in the middle of the living room while their parents silently stared at them.
"What the hell is going on?" Antonio asked obnoxiously. "Why the hell did you interuppt your mother and I when we were in the middle pf making love so we could come and sit down here for some news?"
Gabriella rolled her eyes.
Troy began to speak. "Mom, dad, Mrs. Montez...Gabriella and I have something to tell you." He said ignoring what Antonio had said before.
"Don't act like I aint here." Antonio said rudley.
"Anyway, I know that you guys wanted us to wait until we got our college exceptant letters, but Gabriella and I moved in together." He said ignoring Antonio once again.
"Why would you guys do that?" Mrs. Bolton asked when she heard the news.
"Yeah, why would you guys?" Mrs. Montez repeated.
Antonio stood up and walked in front of Gabriella and Troy. "Do you want to know why your children have decided to move in together. Because I guess they forgot what a condom was and Ms. Montez over here is pregnant." He said pointing to Gabriella.
Gabriella and Troy were in total shock. But not as big of a shock that their parents were.
"Troy Jack Bolton, please tell me what this person is saying isn't true!" Mr. Bolton screamed.
"I'm sorry dad, but he's right." Troy said looking down at his feet.
Just than Mrs. Bolton lost all control and started to cry.
Antonio had sat down and watched as all the drama came to form.
"Gabriella Montez, what the hell is he talking about?" Mrs. Montez asked pointing to Troy.
"Mommy Troy and I are going to be parents." She said making no eye contact with her mother.
Mrs. Montez got up off the couch and jerked her daughters face. "You look at me." She said forcing Gabriella to look at her. "You are getting an abortion!" She stated looking deadly into her daughters eyes.
"Stop touching her like that!" Troy screamed and pulled Mrs. Montez off of her daughter.
"Look here you dumbass don't tell me how to raise my daughter." Mrs. Montez screamed at Troy. "I'm not going to have my daughter walking around at the age of seventeen pregnant!"
"Since when did you start caring about your daughter?" Troy spat back at Mrs. Montez. "When was the last time you ever thought about your daughters feelings before your own?!"
Mrs. Montez took her hand and slapped Troy dead across the face. "Don't you dare talk to me like that."
Mr. Bolton got up from trying to calm down his wife and took Mrs. Montez's hands. "I know that your mad, but this isn't helping them."
Gabriella went down on the floor where Troy was laying holding his face. "Are you okay?" She asked concerned.
"I'm fine." He said continuing to hold his face. "How are you?" He looked up at Gabriella who's face was also red.
"I'm good." She said kneeling down next to her boyfriend.
"Please let me go?" Mrs. Montez asked politley and calmly.
Mr. Bolton let go thinking that Mrs. Montez was finally calmed. But Mr. Bolton was wrong.
Mrs. Montez went up to her daughter. "Gabriella come home!" She demanded.
Gabriella looked up at her mother. "I'm not leaving. Troy and I are having this baby together." Gabriella spoke up.
"Maybe you didn't hear your mother when she said you're not having this baby." Antonio stated as he walked up behind her mother. He had an ugly smile on his face.
"Nobody was talking to you!" Gabriella said standing up nice and tall. "Nobody is ever talking to you. You need to mind your own buisness."
"I don't know when you started to get so disrespectful." Mrs. Montez said. "But its about to be over. You are coming home with me, getting an abortion, and we are going to act like this never happened." She went over and grabbed Gabriella by the arm, and started to pull her away.
Troy got up and took Mrs. Montez's other arm. "You're not taking Gabriella or my un-born child anywhere." He said tightening his grip on Mrs. Montez's arm.
"Get the hell off of my girlfriend." Antonio demanded as he stepped up toTroy.
"You need to mind your own buisness." Troy stated and then with out a warning Antonio punched him in his eye. Troy wasn't thinking when he punched Antonio back and they both started to fight.
Gabriella got away from her mom and grabbed Antonio's arm. "Stop!" She begged. "Please, you're hurting him!" She begged some more.
Even Mr. Bolton was trying to get Antonio off of Troy. "You're a grown man get the hell off of my son." He demanded.
Antonio took his right elbow and pushed it back about to punch Troy again when he ended up punching something behind him. When he turned around he couldn't believe what he had done.
Troy was in pain, but when he saw his pregnant girlfriend on the floor holding her stomach the pain instantly faided into concerne. He ran over to her and kneeled down to where she was lying. "Are you okay?" He asked already knowing the answer.
"The baby!" She said in pain. "The baby!"
