Gabriella sat up on the hospital bed. Troy was in the chair next to the bed sleeping. The doctor wanted her to stay over night to make sure everything is alright.

There was a small knock on the door. "Come in." Gabriella said quietly trying mot to wake up her boyfriend.

"Hi." Mrs. Bolton said walking into the room.

"Hi." Gabriella said back. "What are you doing here?"

"Me and Mr. Bolton decided to stay over night. We had a lot of things to talk about." She said with a smile. "I'm going to wake Troy up so he can get ready to go to school." She told Gabriella.

Gabriella nodded her head up and down.

"Troy" Mrs. Bolton said shaking her son. "Troy!" She said louder.

Troy opened his eyes. "What!?" He said worried. "Is everything okay?" He asked frantically. He looked over at Gabriella.

"Everything is fine. It's time for you to wake up and go to school." Mrs. Bolton said to her son.

Troy stretched his arms up. "Do I really have to?" He asked yawning.

"Your father and I talked all last night. We both agreed that we would do anything to help you guys. As long as you keep up with school and basketball."

Troy nodded his head. "Fine I'll agree with that, but you will have to stay with Gabriella today." He said scratching his stomach. "I want her in the bed all day ."

"Don't worry I'll take care of her. Now go back to our house, get in the shower, brush your teeth, do something with your hair, and get to school." Mrs. Bolton demanded.

Troy got up from his seat. "Yes, mom." He said and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He went over to Gabriella "You won't see me until a little bit later, I have to go to school, then basketball practice, then I start my first day at my job today."

Gabriella nodded her head "You don't have to worry about me." She said with a smile. "I'm sure your mom will take good care of me."

"I will. I'm going to take her back to the apartment you two bought without telling us. I'll stay there today and clean up a bit." Mrs. Bolton said to the two of them.

"How do you know about the apartment?" Troy asked.

"Your Aunt called and told your father and I. She said she didn't feel right not telling us." She said with a smile. "I have to say Tarsha is getting much more responsible."

"Alright then I have to get going if I'm going to make it to school on time. Taylor will be coming to see Gabriella as soon as school's over so you don't have to stay with her that long." Troy told his mother.

Mrs. Bolton nodded. "It's alright I was enjoying the thought of having time to speak to Gabriella." She said with a smile. "I'm ashamed to say that I never really had a chance to have a real conversation with her."

"Alright then. I hope my two favorite ladies really hit it off." Troy said. He went over to Gabriella and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I would have given you a kiss on the lips, but my breath is probably smelling." He said with a smile.

Gabriella giggled at her boyfriends joke.

Troy then went over to his mom and gave her another kiss on the cheek. "Make sure she stays off of her feet." Troy instructed to his mother.

"I will now leave." His mother told him.

And with that Troy left.

"Can you believe that boy?" Mrs. Bolton said with a smile to Gabriella.

"I guess I can." Gabriella said with a weak smile. She nervously played with her fingers.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Bolton asked concerned.

"I know that this is probably a weird question. It's just been bothering me all night."

"What is it?"

"Do you know what happened to my mom?" Gabriella asked emotionally. "I mean I can't remember that much after I was hit. All I remember was Troy telling me everything is going to be okay, and that's about it."

Mrs. Bolton went over to Gabriella. "I'm sorry that I have to be the one to tell you this, but your mother left with her boyfriend." She said sincerely.

"Wow." She said. "I didn't think that she was that mad at me?" She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Sweetheart I'm sure she wasn't mad at you." Mrs. Bolton said putting a strand of Gabriella's hair behind her ear.

"Then what is it?" She asked upset. "Is it because she doesn't love me anymore?" She asked Mrs. Bolton as if she could answer that question. "I have tried my hardest to be the best daughter in the world and she still doesn't care!" She screamed.

"I wish I could answer those questions for you." Mrs. Bolton said putting her hand on Gabriella's shoulder. "I really do, but what I do know is that she still loves you." She said quietly.

"Really?" She asked. "Because she sure as hell has a crazy way of showing it." Gabriella said wiping her eye. She didn't want to wait until the tear ran down her cheek.

"I know that she still loves you. There is no way that a mother can stop loving there offspring." She said logically.

"You don't understand!" Gabriella screamed.

Mrs. Bolton looked at Gabriella. "No, I don't understand because my parents loved me very much. But if you want to talk about it I'm here for you." She said sincerely.

"I'm pregnant." She cried. "I can read all the books in the world about pregnancy, and I can know all the information in the world about birth. I guess I just want my mom here. I want her to tell me what to expect and tell me jokes about when she was pregnant with me." She said getting softer.

"I know what you mean. I don't know what I would have done if my mom wasn' there when I was pregnant with Troy." She said thinking about the past. She hesitated before she said the next part. "I know we don't know each other that well, but if you want I can tell you everything to expect."

"I would love that." Gabriella said happily. "Oh, and I'm sorry for blowing up on you back there." She said.

"No problem." She said waving it off. "You're pregnant you are going to have mood swings." She said with a smile.

Before Basketball Practice East High:

Troy yawned while entering his locker combination. He didn't know what he was going to do. He still had to go to basketball, and get ready for his first day at work.

"Hey, Troy." A girl said in a sexy, seductive voice.

Troy turned around to see Sharpay. "What do you want?" He asked annoyed.

"I was just wondering why your girlfriend was at the hospital?" Sharpay asked in an evil voice.

"How do you know Gabriella's in the hospital?" Troy asked confused. He closed his locker and turned toward her.

"Daddy has many businesses. The hospital that your girlfriend happens to be at is partly owned by the Ryan's." She gloated. "Anyway you still didn't answer my question."

"Sharpay that's none of your business!" Troy yelled.

"Well I think it's the school's business. I think that the school should know that the star basketball player is going to be a daddy." Sharpay spat back.

Troy was quiet. He didn't know what to say to that.

"What's the matter?" Sharpay asked.

"I don't understand. What do you want?"

Sharpay smiled at Troy. "How do you know that I want something?"

"Because you could have just told everyone in the school about Gabriella, but instead you came to me first. So I know that you want something."

Sharpay smiled. She knew that Troy wasn't as dumb as he looked. "I want you to go to a dinner with me."

"Are you crazy?" You know that I have a pregnant girlfriend at home right now. "Why would I go on a date with another girl?"

"Because it's either that or the whole school finds out about you and Gabriella." She said with a smirk.

"Tell the whole school I don't care." Troy said shrugging his shoulders. "You act like you can always get what you want by being manipulative, well you can't." He yelled. "I am not ashamed of my child." He said proudly and irritated at the same time.

Sharpay's evil grin quickly turned into a frown. She was speechless.

"Now, if you don't mind I would like to get to basketball practice." He said and then walked past her without another word.

Sharpay screamed. She couldn't believe how he just did that. Nobody ever talked to Sharpay Ryan like that and got away with it. She immediately took out her cell phone. She called her friend Samantha on the phone. "Hey Sam." "Guess what I just heard..."

Troy was about to enter the boys locker room when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Why the hell were you talking to her?" Taylor asked mad.

Troy looked at Taylor who looked mad. "What are you talking about?" He asked confused.

"Sharpay, why were you talking to her at your locker just a few minutes ago?"

"She was just trying to black mail me, but it didn't work. Why?" Troy asked suspiciously.

"I'm just looking out for Gabriella. Who I'm about to go see now." She said pointing to the exit door.

"Tell her that I'm thinking about her, and make sure she stays off of her feet." He said to Taylor.

Taylor nodded as she slowly walked away to the exit door. "I'll make sure she gets the message." She reassured him.

"Tell her that I love her." Troy screamed out.

"Will do!" Taylor screamed back and then she left the school and entered her car.

Taylor looked at the directions in her hand. She made a left turn and looked at the paper. It read the address: Oak Tree Dr. 809. She looked at the street sign that read 800. She drove past four houses and on the left side came across a big house that read: 809. "This must be it." She said to herself.

She exited the car and looked up at the house. She put her big yellow purse on her shoulders. She went up the steps and rang the door bell.

Tarsha went to the door and opened it. "Who are you?" She asked in a rush.

"Taylor, I'm looking for Gabriella." She said scared.

"Go up those steps and then knock on the door. You'll find her in her room." She said with a quick smile. "Sorry to rush you, but I'm only on lunch I have to be back at work in fifteen minutes." She apologized.

"Oh, that's alright I understand." Taylor said waving her hands. Then she went up the stairs and just like Tarsha said there was another door. She knocked on it. A medium sized brunette came to the door.

"Hello you must be Taylor?" Mrs. Bolton said greeting Taylor in.

"Yes, that's me." She said with a smile. "You must be Mrs. Bolton?" She asked with a smile.

"That's me, but please call me Ms. Monica." She said with a warm smile.

Taylor looked around the apartment. It was nice for a teenage couple expecting a baby to be living in. Though it only had a couch and t.v. in the living room. The couch looked like it was supposed to be white, but it was so dirty it was tan. The t.v. was an old fashion t.v. that looked like it didn't get cable. Then she looked at the kitchen which only had a sink, refrigerator, and stove. Which also looked old fashion. Then there was a table that looked like it was about to break.

"Gabriella is in that room over there." Mrs. Bolton said pointing to the right.

"Thanks!" Taylor said. She went over to the room and slowly opened the door. "Hey!" She screamed entering the room.

Gabriella's face lit up when she saw her best friend. "Taylor!" She shrieked.

Taylor went over to her and gave her a quick hug. "How are you feeling?" She asked still hugging her.

"I feel pregnant." Gabriella laughed.

Taylor giggled and looked around the room that her best friend was in. It was all white. She was lying on a big white bed, next to her was a night stand,then on the left side of the room was a closet, and then in front of the bed was a big dresser. "This looks nice." She said with a smile.

Gabriella laughed. "I love how your trying to make me feel better, but you suck at lying." She sat up on the pillows. "I know that this isn't the best apartment in the world, but it's all I have." She said a little disappointed.

"I don't know what your talking about?" Taylor said sheepishly.

"Whatever!" Gabriella said rolling her eyes. "So how was school?" She asked with enthusiasm.

"The same. I went to all of my classes, and in between classes I made out with Chad." She said with a smile. "No big drama though."

"So nobody knows that I'm pregnant?" Gabriella asked looking down at her stomach.

"Not that I know of." She said thinking about the question.

"Did you see Troy?"

"Yes, I did. He said that he loves you and is thinking about you." She passed on the message. "He is so sweet." She added.

Gabriella smiled and started to blush.

"Gabriella Montez are you blushing?" Taylor asked.

"I can't help it. It's something about when I hear Troy's name. My face just starts to turn red."

"Wow, it's so weird how you guys have been going out for so long and his name can still make you blush." She said with a smile. "I hope Chad and I can be like you two."

"I don't think you want to be pregnant." Gabriella pointed out.

"You know what I mean." Taylor said.

"I do." Gabriella said ending the conversation.

There was a moment of acquired silence before Gabriella talked. "I almost forgot." She said reaching over to the night stand near the bed. She pulled out a picture of the baby's sonogram. "Look at your little godchild." She said handing it to Taylor.

Taylor took the picture and looked at it. "Wow, Gabriella that's growing inside of you?" Taylor asked amazed.

Gabriella put her hand on her stomach. "I know sometimes it's hard for me to even believe." She said rubbing her small bump lightly.

"Doesn't it freak you out?" Taylor asked interested in what was going on with her friend.

"Yeah, especially without a mother." She said feeling a lump in her throat.

"I am so sorry." Taylor said instantly. "You called me and told me everything at lunch and I am a total idiot." She said.

"No, it's alright. Troy's mom has really been helping me out with everything. I mean she cleaned up today, and she told me that she was going to buy a decent couch for us."

"Really?" Taylor said surprised. "She sounds cool."

"She really is..."

Troy walked into the apartment. He was so tired that he felt like he was going to fall a sleep right there. He went over to the stove, and there was a plate of food that was at least warm. He ate it real fast.

Gabriella sat up in the bed. She turned on the lamp that was sitting on the night stand. "Troy is that you?" She asked frightened.

"Yeah!" He said entering the room and looking at his beautiful girlfriend. "I'm about to get in the shower real quick." He explained.

"Alright." Gabriella said looking at her boyfriend who looked like he had just worked for two days straight with no sleep.

After Troy got out the shower and put on some underwear he climbed into bed with Gabriella and gave her a kiss.

Gabriella loved every second of the kiss that was shared between her and Troy. "How was your day?" She asked after that kiss.

"Well, Sharpay knows about the baby and was trying to black mail me, but I said no. My father was pushing me extra hard in basket ball practice today. Then at work my first day on the job people were trying to get me fired." Troy summed up his day.

"Wow, all I did was sit here and talk to your mom and Taylor."

"My mom?" Troy asked puzzled.

"Troy I love your mom." Gabriella said with a smile. "I think me and her are going to be getting along very well."

"I'm glad that my two most favorite ladies are getting along." He said giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Yeah I think I made a new best friend." Gabriella said with a smile.
