1 Month Later. Gabriella held Hannah in her arms and placing her in the playpin. "Okay babygirl, Mommy is going to go get your apple sauce." Gabriella went over to the fridge, opening it up, and grabbing a container of apple sauce.

There was a knock on the door, Gabriella smiled knowing already who it was. "Come in!" she yelled as she placed the apple sauce on the counter and going over to pick up Hannah. Troy came over kissing her cheek, "Good Morning Gorgeous."

Gabriella giggled, "Hey Good Morning Handsome." Gabriella placed Hannah in her high chair. Troy smiled, "So about tomorrow night." Gabriella looked at him, "Yeah?" "We have that away game-" Gabriella smiled, pecking his lips, "I know your going to do great."

Troy smiled, "I want you to come with me." Gabriella sighed, "Troy you have no idea how much I want too." she grabbed the apple sauce, pulling off the lid, and dipping the spoon and mixing it a little bit, "But I have Hannah, and..and I have no one to watch her for me.. and..she hasen't been away from me for one night.."

"Brie, your a good mother, but your a teenager, you need to have some fun, you deserve it." Gabriella smiled, "Well Thanks, but.. I have no one to watch her Troy.. I mean Carrie is out of town on her honeymoon, that's the only babysitter I got."

Troy sighs, "Brie...what if- what if I find you a babysitter?" "In short notice?" her eyebrows shot up and her lips pursed, "well..I'd-I'd go..but.." he kisses her lips and pulls away. "Trust me...I'll find you a babysitter..." she sighs, watching as he pulls out his phone and dials a number.

He looks at her, "bathroom" he mouths, she nods, going to Hannah and playing with her. Troy closes the bathroom door and leans against it, the person answers on the first ring.

"Troy?" "Dad..." it's been a month since Troy called his dad... "Uh..I need a favour." "Sure, with what? Are you-" "I'm fine. A friend of mine needs a babysitter..."

"How long for-" "Just for the night.. For the away game." "What about your friends parents?" Troy sighed, "It's complicated Dad.. just please." Shawn sighs, "Okay. Okay. I'll do it." Troy smiles, "Thanks Dad. Bye."

Troy hangs up the phone, and walks out to were Gabriella was feeding Hannah. "Hey." Gabriella looks at him, "Hey-" "I got you a babysitter." "Who?"

Troy cups her cheeks, "My dad." Gabriella looked at him, gripping her fingers on his wrists as he cupped her cheeks, "Does..Does he know about us? Hannah?"

Troy frowns, "Ah..no, I just said you need a babysitter...we can tell him- if you want." Gabriella bites her lip, "La-later..." Troy nods, "so..." he sits by the playpen and picks up a stuffed purple duck, "quack. Quack." Hannah giggles, clapping her little hands together.

Gabriella smiles, Troy would make a great father one day...but, she sighs, is...is this what he wants though? Staying with her? He...he has a life ahead of him. She's a mother...he still has yet to experience everything his life has to offer.

Troy wraps an arm around her, "Brie.. You okay?" Gabriella sighed, going over to pick up Hannah and letting her lay on her shoulder. "Troy..I.. do you really want this?" she asked walking over and laying her down in the playpin. "Want what?" Gabriella sighed, "Me...Us."

Troy nodded standing up and leaving the purple duck behind on the couch, "Brie, I want you more than anything.." Gabriella looked at him, tears brimming in her eyes, "I..I'm a mother Troy."

"I know that Brie-" "You have your life ahead of you.. you have yet to expierence everything.. I would be just holding you back Troy..Don't..Don't you see it?"

Troy shakes his head, "Brie...I-I...yes, you're mother..and you're a damn good one-" "Troy, please...just do something for me." "Why do I get the feeling your breaking up with me?" She shakes her head, "No..Troy, I would never...it's.."

She rests her head in her hands before looking at him and then at Hannah. "Make a choice Troy...okay? Don't make it now...but think on it. Long and good. Is this"-she gestures to her daughter and herself-"really what you want?"

Troy sighed, grabbing her hands, "Brie, I'm not giving up on this." Gabriella sighed, "I love you so much." she kissed his lips, "But just please.. think about it." Troy nodded, "Okay. I'll think about it.. and I love you too."

Troy and Gabriella walked into the hotel room. Troy opened the door to the hotel and looked around. "It's not that bad." Gabriella looked around, The room was kind of messy. Gabriella sat the stuff down, "What's that by the TV?"

Troy shrugged, "I don't know." He put down his bag, walking next to her and she looked at it, "You have to put a quarter in it." Troy digged through his pocket, pulling out a quarter and putting it down the slot. and then the bed started vibrating.

Gabriella looked at the bed, "I'm guessing the wires are crossed." she saw another slot by the bed, "Okay, if that makes the bed vibrate, I wonder what this one does."

She puts another quarter into the slot, and she hears the toliet flush. Gabriella giggled, "That's good to know." she whispered.

Troy smirked, wrapping his arms around her waist, and pulling her close, "How about that game?" Gabriella giggled, "You did great wildcat." she whispered kissing his lips gently. Troy crashed his lips against hers and got ontop of her on the bed.

They kissed passionately, Gabriella ran her fingers through his hair. he moaned into the kiss, slipping his hand under her shirt.

Gabriella pulled away, "Troy..Don't." "I understand that your not ready-" "N-No..I..I just.. I don't want you to regret anything okay? I don't want anything ruining your future.." she whispered.

Troy looks at her, "Brie...I won't be ruining-" "Troy." She whispers, "Please...just not tonight, K? I-..." her voice trails off, Troy looks at her as she sits on the bed and wraps her arms around herself. "I get ...I get the feeling that this more than just my future isn't it?"

Gabriella sniffles, looking at him and then looking at her hands. "Troy...Brian and I knew each other our whole lives; he used to be real sweet and then he changed-"

"You're afraid I'll turn into him?" "No!" She says, too quickly. "Just...just trivial insecurities. But it's your future I'm worried about.."

Troy shook his head, tilting her chin with his finger, "I want my future to be with you." Gabriella looked at him, he continued, "I love you...more than anything in this world.. and I love Hannah.. Hannah captured my heart that day at the hospital..I want to make you happy." Gabriella looked at him, "I'm inlove with you too Troy."

Troy smiled capturing her lips in a passionate kiss, and leaning her back on the bed. Gabriella pulled away leaning her forehead on his, "Brie.." he breathed, "What's wrong?" Gabriella sighed, "Are you sure you want this? are you sure you want me and Hannah a part of your life? I don't want to get mixed signals here Troy.."

He looks at her, tracing her lips with his fingers. "I want you.." he whispers, she stares at him; raking her fingers through his hair. "Troy...I love you." He smiles, "I love you too."

She smiles at him, kissing his lips passionately, gently before pulling away. "But...I think this is too soon..." "Brie-" "No, Troy...please, it's too soon...you-you have a future-"

"With you. And Hannah." She shakes her head, "No...you have a choice. Me and Hannah are one of your choices...please just, not now...? Not yet."

Troy sighed, leaning his head down, and then looking at her, "Okay..I understand." He got off of her, and sat up and Gabriella sighed laying on the pillow and then sitting up after him, "I..I'm going to go talk to Sharpay and Taylor." Troy nodded, "Alright."

Gabriella went to the door and opened it when she saw Chad, "Chad you scared me." Chad chuckled, "Sorry." Gabriella smiled walking by him.

Chad closed the door and looked at Troy, "Yo dude! There are fifty chicks downstairs calling our names! and I am pretty sure you can get laid." he said taking a sip of his coke.

Troy sighs, "Man...just go have fun." Chad looks at him, "Dude...okay, you're depressing, what's wrong?" he sighs, running his fingers through his hair. "Nothing man...just nothing." "Bullshit, come on...share." "It's just...Gabriella, man." "What about her?"

He sighs again, lying down on the bed on his back and running his fingers through his hair and down his face. "She said...she loved me, and now...she's just...she says she's holding me back."

Chad snorts, "She is." "Chad!" "She has a kid, Troy...granted, a beautiful kid, and she's a great mother-" "She's not holding me back!"

Troy sat up, "She isn't holding me back, she's going to make my life better." Chad rolled his eyes, "Dude, Gabriella is a great girl, and great person, and I'm happy that your with her, but you have to face it, once you live high school, your going to have to leave her behind-" "I'm not leaving her-"

"Troy think about it, She already has a kid, she probably can't go to college, she is probably going to have to do two jobs to support herself and Hannah.. Man I'm just saying, You should just let her go... You don't need to be a father to Hannah..your not her father."

"Chad...get out." "Dude-" "GET OUT CHAD!" Troy yells, standing to his feet, "OUT!" "Dude, just chill, I'm stating a point-" "Your point is wrong!" Chad sighs, "Troy-" "I SAID GET OUT!"

Chad sighs, "Sorry Troy." and he backs away and out the door. Troy plopped back down on the couch, and runs his hands down his face.

He had been searching for months for her. He had no clue where she had ranaway too. He did know she was pregnant with his child, and had it by now. He was going to get to her. He was going to find her, and when he did, he was going to get back at her. He was going to hurt her.

No matter what it takes he was going to make sure she payed for running away. Brian smirked as he zipped up his bag, and taking it to his car. He would find her, one way or another.
