"4 months down, 5 to go" Gabriella said looking at her belly in the full length mirror in her and Troy's room.

"And you are still hot honey, trust me" Troy said as he wrapped his arms around Gabriella's pregnant belly and kissed her cheek.

"Thank you husband" Gabriella said happily as she turned to face Troy in his arms.

"You're welcome wife" Troy said kissing her forehead sweetly.

"I love you more than you know Troy" Gabriella said sincerely as Troy rubbed her back lovingly.

"I love you too Gabi, some times so much my heart aches" Troy said honestly as Gabriella teared up at the truth in Troy's voice.

"Are they home?" Gabriella asked needingly as Troy dried a few stray tears from her cheeks.

"No" Troy answered as he started to kiss Gabriella's neck.

"Lay me down?" Gabriella asked as Troy unzipped her dress and they moved over to their bed.

"Whatever you wish my wife…" Troy said as he lifted Gabriella up slightly and laid her down on the bed.

"I've never been happier than I am with you Troy" Gabriella said lovingly as she allowed Troy to pull off her dress.

"I have never loved anyone the way I love you Gabi, and I know that I'm going to feel this way forever" Troy said as he pulled off Gabriella's white lace panties.

"I love you Troy" Gabriella said starting to cry sweetly as she pulled off Troy's boxers.

"I love you too Gabi" Troy said as he lovingly rubbed Gabi's belly and she unhooked her bra and he pulled it off.

They laid there for a few seconds Troy held her and they smiled at each other and then Gabriella smiled and asked.

"Are we going to make love?" she asked with a giggle as she and Troy were lying there naked.

"Of course" Troy answered as he ran his hand up her inner thighs gently spreading her legs.

Their bodies joined together in an emotional and physical connection that left them both elated and weak with every pleasurable move that they made. As they were moving with a rhythm Troy gently caressed Gabriella's breasts with his finger tips and she moaned in pleasure, they kissed and embraced and moved together with their love and affection for one another.


"Kids can you please come here a minute so we can talk to you?" Andrea asked later that evening walking into the living room where Troy and Gabriella were.

"Coming mom" Troy answered as he helped Gabriella up off the couch.

"What's going on Mark?" Gabriella asked curiously as she and Troy came into the kitchen and saw the expressions on Mark's and Andrea's faces.

"Well your dad and I have been talking and we have something we want to discuss with you two" Andrea said her tone serious as the kids sat down at the table with Mark.

"We know that this pregnancy was a shock and we feel that even though it has been welcomed the fact that it is twins we are afraid it will take a little too much from you two and we think that maybe you should consider adoption." Andrea explained to the kids as Mark just looked irritated.

"No, we are not giving up our babies" Troy answered sternly as Gabriella gripped his hand.

"We are just asking you to think about your futures Troy" Andrea begged desperately with Troy as she sat down across from him and tried to take his hands but he pulled them away.

"We have thought about OUR future mom and it includes these babies. And who knows maybe even a couple more. As in love as we are we'll probably have a house full of kids, you never know" Troy said sternly as he rubbed the back of his sobbing wife.

"Well if you two want to waste your futures that is just fine with us it is not our place to stop you" Andrea said annoyed feeling defeated as she got up from the table.

"Ann let them alone…" Mark said softly trying to reason with Andrea as the tension in the room was thick.

"Can I say something?" Gabriella asked speaking up clearing her throat as she had been crying.

"Yes you can sweetie, what's on your mind?" Mark asked in his caring father voice giving Gabi her chance to talk.

"These babies are a gift from God and I think we are losing sight of that. You all are focusing on the bad of the situation instead of the good and that is taking a toll on me not just emotionally but physically and I don't know how much longer I can take it" Gabriella said as tears streamed down her face and rubbing her stomach as the twins sensed the tension and were kicking hard.

"Gabi…" Troy whispered reaching for her hand but she pulled back.

"And I just want to make one thing clear and that is if I hadn't have been in love with your son when he got me pregnant we wouldn't be here right now. Just think about that" Gabriella said and then sat back down next to Troy and everyone just looked at her a little confused.

"What do you mean by that?" Troy asked turning to face her with confusion coming over his face.

"I mean if we hadn't been in love when I found out I was pregnant I wouldn't be carrying your twins right now" Gabriella answered with a sigh as Troy looked at her surprised.

"Are you saying when we first made love you weren't in love with me?" Troy asked Gabriella with a bit of worry in his voice.

"Come on" Gabriella said with a stressed sigh getting up from the table and going upstairs with Troy following.

"Did we miss something?" Mark asked confused as he and Andrea watched the kids run up the steps.

"We're parents, we are always missing something" Andrea answered with a light giggle as she got out a bottle of wine and poured a glass.

"So were you in love with me?" Troy asked when they got to their room and closed the door.

"Yes I was" Gabriella answered with a smile to reassure Troy.

"Were you a virgin?" Troy asked seriously wondering.

"What kind of question is that?" Gabriella asked surprised by Troy even thinking to ask her that.

"Answer it Gabriella!" Troy demanded to know he raised his voice and it scared Gabriella as he had never done that before.

"You have never yelled at me before Troy and I don't like it" Gabriella said starting to cry.

"Were you?" Troy asked walking closer to Gabriella his voice lowering.

"What do you think? Yeah I was. you were my first. Was I yours?" Gabriella said as her tears fell and then took a sharp breath asking a question she was wondering.

"Yeah, you were" Troy answered as an embarrassed smile crept across his face.

"I was your first?" Gabriella asked with a smile as Troy dried her tears.

"Yep, you were my first and you're going to be my last" Troy said as he lovingly tucked a few stray hairs behind Gabriella's ear.

"I don't like it when you yell at me, please don't do it again?" Gabriella asked her voice breaking as she started to cry more.

"Oh, baby I'm so sorry, I'll never do it again" Troy apologized as he pulled her into his arms and kissed her head.

"You promise?" Gabriella asked as tears fell down her cheeks.

"I promise you I will never ever raise my voice or lay a harmful hand on you" Troy said as he held Gabriella tightly in his arms.

"Did you want an abortion?" Troy seriously asked as he lifted Gabriella's face to meet his eyes.

"If we had not been in love when we slept together I wouldn't have gone through with it. But I was and am madly head over heels in love with you, so going through with this pregnancy was no question" Gabriella answered honestly as she wrapped her arms around Troy's neck.

"I love you Gabi and if I ever do anything to make you unhappy I want you to tell me, please?" Troy asked as he and Gabriella locked loving eyes.

"You have my word husband" Gabriella answered truthfully as she kissed Troy's cheek.

"And just for the record, we would have never slept together if I didn't love you. Did you love me?" Gabriella asked as she rubbed her belly as Troy's hands rested on hers.

"Yes I did and still do" Troy answered as he kissed Gabriella's lips affectionately and held her close.

"I love you…" Gabriella answered as her voice faded into their kiss.

"I love you too…" Troy answered as he pulled her closer and kissed her neck lovingly.

They were quiet, just sitting there holding each other and kissing and embracing lovingly. But then reality set in and with a sigh Gabriella looked dead-on into Troy's eyes and said.

"They don't want us to keep them, and so what in the world are we gonna do?" she asked as tears filled hers and Troy's eyes.

"Don't worry babe, we'll figure it out" Troy said as he kissed Gabriella in reassurance and she wiped away the few stray tears that were lying on Troy's cheeks.


"Okay, Ryan and Gabriella can you please go get my clipboard from the theater and the box of pencils?" Ms. Darbus asked as she was getting ready to leave and she noticed she had forgotten her things.

"Sure Miss Darbus, no problem. Come on Gabi" Ryan said pleasantly as he and Gabriella turned and walked out of the chess club room.

"Okay here's the clipboard, where are the pencils?" Ryan asked as he saw the board sitting on the table but not the pencils.

"Maybe they're back stage, I'll check" Gabriella said walking up the stage steps and then disappearing behind the curtain.

"Found them" Gabriella said a couple minutes later as she was walking back down the steps with pencils in hand.

"Here let me take them" Ryan said as he ran over to Gabriella and took the pencils.

"Even though I'm pregnant Ryan doesn't mean I can't carry a box of pencils" Gabriella said with a giggle rubbing her belly as she took the box back from Ryan.

"Sorry, I didn't think you wanted people to know yet" Ryan said with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"It's okay. The whole school knows now since I am the size of a pumpkin" Gabriella said as she and Ryan sat down in one of the aisles.

"Shar told me and she also made me swear to secrecy, which is a first for her" Ryan said with a chuckle.

"Well that's good to know" Gabriella said with a smile as she unzipped her hoodie which was just barely hiding her bump.

"When are you due?" Ryan asked with a curious smile as he noticed Gabriella's belly.

"September 21" Gabriella answered with a smile as her rested her hands comfortably on her belly.

"I always knew this would happen" Ryan said with a happy smile as he and Gabriella locked stares.

"What's that? Troy impregnating his girlfriend their senior year, prompting them to get married after her mother kicks her out. And then the school board wanting her not to graduate, and also his parents wanting the babies to be given up for adoption?" Gabriella asked with a stressed sigh.

"No, the two of you falling in love, getting married and having kids. I always knew that would happen" Ryan answered taking Gabriella's hand and griping it in reassurance.

"Really?" Gabriella asked raising her eyebrows.

"Yeah, you two have been in love since the day you first set foot in here at east high" Ryan answered with a smile at Gabriella's disbelief.

"Okay I'll take your word. Give me your hand…" Gabriella said taking Ryan's hand and placing it on her belly as the twins were kicking.

"Wow! Now that is beyond amazing" Ryan said with a big smile on his face as he felt Troy and Gabriella's twins move inside her.

"Yeah it is" Gabriella said returning the smile as she rubbed her stomach.


"Yes, okay. Thank you, I'll tell them. Good-bye Mr. Lone" Mark said as he was on the phone with the school.

"Kids can you please come here and Andrea too" Mark said from the kitchen to everyone in the living room.

"What's up dad?" Troy asked as he walked into the kitchen with his arm around Gabriella.

"I just got off the phone with the school superintendent and he said that they made a decision about Gabi" Mark answered as Andrea walked over to his side and rested her hand on his shoulder.

"And what did they say?" Andrea asked sounding impatient.

"Yeah Mark, do I get to stay?" Gabriella asked worried as Troy held her tightly.

"Well here is what they said…"
