When he had taken her to the doctor, The doctor let a flashlight go pass her eyes. Troy sat nervously in a chair, "Well Gabriella, you only had a minor concussion..what exactly happened?" Gabriella bit her lip, "I fell down the stairs." there was a long pause after she said that. The doctor nodded solemnly, "hmmm.. alright then." Gabriella bit her lip, tugging at her bottom lip with her teeth, "I..am I free to go?" she asked, she hated hospitals and doctor offices. he sighed, "Gabriella, we have some news.." she bit her lip, "y-yeah.." he sighed, "We found that you might be pregnant.." Gabriella's eyes went wide, "P-Pregnant? how did this happened?"
The doctor sighed, looking at the clipboard then back at her, "Well when a boy and a girl-" Gabriella nearly screamed, "I know HOW, but I want to know how..." the doctor raise d an eyebrow, she sighed, face-palming her forehead, "okay that was...bad example and horribly phrased, but...a-are you s-sure?" He sighed, "if you want, we can run some more tests..." Gabriella nodded slowly, biting her lip, "Yeah...that-that sounds good."
The doctor nodded, "I'll be right back." he left the room. Gabriella began crying. "I..I can't be pregnant.." Troy sighed walking over to her, "Brie...I.." she began crying into his chest, "how did this happen.." he sighed, "Brie, it's going to be fine." she sniffled, "I'm scared Troy, what If Austin kills this baby-" Troy shook his head, "No, No I won't let that happen." she sniffled, "The worst part is, I don't know who the father is." Troy's eyes went wide, "Wait? what. you think I'm the father?" Gabriella bit her lip, "You might be." he sighed, "We used protection-' She turned to him, biting her lip, "Troy..condoms are ...only effective 97% of the time." his mouth dropped and his eyes nearly bulged, "Wh-wh...huh?" she nodded mutely, his lips pursed, "THEY SHOULD PUT THAT ON THE BOX!"
She jumped slightly at his outburst, "Troy-" he stood up now, and began pacing the floor. "I mean-they really should put 'warning: effective only 97%' I-I...I'm not ready to be a father I-I can't be..." Gabriella stood up, her lips quivering, "Troy..what do you mean by that?" he stopped his pacing; for some reason while he was pacing, he had forgotten she was there. Shit. "uh...Brie..look, I'm sorry, but I'm only 17...I can't be a father yet." "Why not?" I-I..." she huffed out a breath, "I'm sorry Troy but...save it, just...just go. Now."
Troy looked at her, "Brie I-" she stood up, her hadns subconsiously running down her flat stomach; she knew it was impossible, but she could've sworn she already felt a tiny heart beat. "Troy...I think it's best if...if you leave." "Brie come on- if this about what I said-" she shook her head biting her lip, "No it-it...well a little, but...Troy if you're not going to face up and be a father-" "I'm not ready to be a father Brie please understand that!" "I can't Troy!" she yelled, making him jump back, "the only thing I can understand is that...that you're just like Austin-" "What?" "you don't want to face up to what is yours...you-you...your a coward!"
Troy bit his lip, "Brie, I am nothing like Austin-" she shook her head, "No! Austin wasen't ready to be a father Either! I don't understand if this child is yours, that you would..you would leave me." Troy looked at her, "I won't ever leave you-" "How Troy? How? If your not ready to be a father, then how could you possibly stay with me!" Troy just looked at her, biting his lower lip. she began to have tears in her eyes, "I don't understand..how you could do this to me...when I need you the most.." Troy sighed, "Brie, I'm 17...were both 17.. were not ready to be parents-" she bit her lip, "what am I suppose to do Troy? you want me to have an obortion? cause I'm not..I don't understand why you wanna treat me this way all of a sudden..if you really love me, we could get through this together, but if you leave.." there was silence, "Don't ever come back...make your decision now." she crossed her arms.
Troy sighed, opening his mouth to speak, but for some reason the words he expected to say-the words he thought were the right ones-didn't come out. "Brie, I'm sorry...I just..I can't-" she shook her head, stepping back from him and turning away from him. "I think you should go...now." "Brie-" "GET OUT TROY!"
Troy swallowed back the lump that appeared in his throat, "Br-" "OUT!" she shoved at him, he stumbled. "I don't want you in my life! Not if your not going to be in your own childs! GET OUT!" she shoved at him again, and since the door was opened he stumbled out into the hallway. "Brie please-" "Just...go jump off a balcony Troy Bolton." she slammed the door shut in his face, and behind it, slid down the surface and buried her face in her knees as she brought them to her chest.
Troy sighed, He was going to have to..wait a minute, the baby might not even be his. he sighed running a hand through his hair. he loved that girl so much, and was willing to do anything for her, to help her. but having his baby? was a little to much. he was seventeen for crying out loud, he wasen't ready to be a father. what did he know about being a father anyway? his father beat him ever since he was little. he may not know much about being a dad, but he would never lay a hand on his child to harm them, not even to spank them.

A Few Weeks had passed by, and Gabriella and Troy weren't getting along. Troy tried so hard to talk to her everyday but she would just ignore him. she was so upset with him. when Gabriella walked into Mrs Darbus's class Troy looked up at her, "Brie." she just walked passed him, and took her seat in the back. Troy sighed sitting back down in his seat in the front. Gabriella just took her notepad out and doodled. Chad looked at him shaking his head in dissapointment. Troy sighed, "Not you two man-" "I heard Gabriella got her results back today." Troy sighed, 'That baby she's carrying is yours Troy.. and your a coward for not being a father to it." Troy turned to him, "what the hell am I suppose to do! I'm 17!" he whispered harshly.
Chad sighed, "Look, Taylor, not everyone knows but she's pregnant too." Troy looked at him, "What! I thought you two haven't had sex yet?" Chad sighed, "We did, about the same time you and Gabriella did, and I wasen't wearing protection, and she wasen't on the pill.. and you know what when she told me, she was crying, I held her, and told her everything was going to be okay. I'm scared shitless, yeah I am, but you know what, I want my kid to know who their father is, I'm not running away, and I don't like how your treating gabster, this all wasen't her, you were in it too, now you left her."
Troy sighed, running a hand through his hair, "Chad-" his best friend shook his head, "No...Troy, don't say anything just...think." he rolled his eyes, "Whose sounding like a parent?" Chad smirked, "Good, I need the practice." Troy rolled his eyes, opening his mouth to say something but Mrs Darbus cleared her throat, "do you and Mr Danforth have something to share with the class Mr Bolton?" Troy gulped, shaking his head-if there was a teacher he was scared of, it was the eccentric owl eyed teacher standing before him with her arms and eyes crossed. "Then pay attention." Troy nodded curtly, turning his head slightly to find Gabriella staring out the window with a look of confusion and...fear? hurt? he sighed, he wanted to be with her...but a father? How the hell was going to be a father?
After Mrs Darbus was done with her rant like lecture about the importance of Shakespeare's many marriages, Troy gathered his books and bolted out the door only to wait just outside. When Gabriella came out, he grabbed her arm and pulled her into a janitor's closet. "I need to talk to you." she sniffled, "There's nothing to talk about." she made her toward the door, but Troy blocked her way immediately, "yes there is.." "Well I have nothing to say to you-I don't want anything to do with you." okay, that hurt...maybe he deserved that.
Sighing, "Brie just listen to me pleas-" "NO!" she said in a harsh whisper, "why should I? You were very clear at the hospital...so, there! You don't want this baby fine! I'll raise it myself...with my mom and dad...and-and..and we'll move to New Orleans right after graduation." Troy's heart sank, his eyes widened, "Brie you can't do that-" she swallowed, shoving passed him and putting her hand on the door knob. "Well ...I am..it's been decided actually, my dad has a job transfer to New Orleans; we leave after Graduation."
Troy sighed grabbing her arm, "Brie.. please, don't do this.. that's my child growing inside of you too-" she glared at him, "No! you said you weren't ready..so..so there, I'm doing you a favor.. you won't have to see the baby, and I'll make it easier for you." he shook his head, "Brie, please..please listen to me..please." she sighed, "No Troy, I'm sorry..it's done, you made your decision when you walked out-" he grabbed her shoulders, crashing his lips onto hers. Gabriella's hands settled on his shoulders, as he pulled her waist closer to him, and kissed her passionately. they pulled away three minutes later.
He leaned his forhead on hers, "Brie, please..I wanna make things right..please.. please give me another chance, please..I'll be that baby's father, I don't want you ending up with another guy who takes my place as it's father." Gabriella bit her lip, "You would just go crazy wouldn't you?" she giggled. Troy smiled, "I would.. so please, please let me have a chance to show you I love you and this baby...please.." Gabriella sighed, taking a deep breath, looking at him, she sighed, "Today, I'm going baby shopping, come with me?"
Troy smiled, holding her hand, "I'd love that..." his other hand rested on her belly, he could've sworn he felt a heart beat even though she wasn't showing yet. Gabriella smiled, but then a thought occured to her, "Troy...my dad is still being transferred and...I still have to go with him and my mom to New Orleans."
Troy sighed, "I'll talk to your parents, alright?" she nodded, "okay, meet me at the rooftop after school, and we'll go baby shopping." Troy nodded pecking her lips, "I love you." Gabriella looked at him, "I..I love you too." he kissed her forhead and she walked out of the closet. Troy sighed, he felt like he did the right thing.

Later after school, Troy and Gabriella went baby shopping at Walmart. there was a cart full of baby clothes, stuff animals, pacifiers, diapers. Gabriella just kept throwing things into the buggy as Troy pushed it. "Brie, don't you think we have enough?" she smiled looking at him shaking her head. she went over to the diaper bags and found a cute blues clues one for a boy, and a tinkerbell diaper bag for a girl. she looked at him, "look how cute." he smiled, "which one do you like?" she smiled, "I like the blues clues one? don't you? I want a little boy."
Gabriella bit her lip, "Well, I want...a boy, but with my personality-" "You want him to be gay then?" she rolled her eyes, "Troy Bolton...that's not even funny," he chuckled, "Sorry..continue." she sighed, "and if it's a girl, I want...her to be like her daddy." Troy smiled, wrapping her in his arms, and kissing her lips gently. That is until a voice broke them apart, "Well well well well well...well." "That's a pretty deep well." Troy said, chuckling, Gabriella bit her lip, she hated running into Austin. He turned from exboyfriend to stalker in a matter of weeks.
Gabriella bit her lip, "Austin, please..leave me alone, were over, were done." Austin looked at her, then at Troy, then to the buggy. his smirk dropped, and he looked at Gabriella, "Your Pregnant?" she bit her lip, "Yes I am." Austin chuckled, "What deadbeat have you been fucking?" she glared at him, "Troy isn't a deadbeat Austin! His a better man then you are! and not a coward!" she looked at Troy and whispered, "Definetly..not a coward." she smiled, he smiled back. Austin glared at Troy, "You little punk! you got my girl pregnant!" he sent a punch towards Troy but Gabriella pushed him back, "Leave Troy alone! I'm not your girlfriend anymore!" she screamed at him for the first time. he glared at her, raising a hand to hit her, and she covered her face.
Troy grabbed his wrist, "Touch any part of her, and I will beat your head into the pavement..are we clear?" Austin threw his arm of him, "get off me!" Troy pushed him against the wall. "Troy!" Gabriella shouted. Troy grabbed his neck throwing him across the isle. "Now stay away from her!" he narrowed his eyes. Austin stood up, wiping his shirt, and leaving out of the isle. Gabriella turned to Troy, "haven't I told you not to get into fights in the baby isle?" Troy chuckled, "Nope, actually, that's one place you told me not too." she rolled her eyes, lifting up his shirt and kissing him, "I can't believe were having a baby together, and we have known eachother since we were babies."
Troy smiled, wrapping his arms around her waist, "seems like a match right?" she giggled, "yeah it does..." suddenly a bassinet on a shelf caught her eye, she gasped, "TROY!" she yelled, grabbing his hand and pulled him (in turn, he pulled the cart) into the aisle and picked up the bassinet, "Isn't this cute?" it was a light green with soft gold seems. Troy smiled, "It's beautiful-much like you-" she gaped further, "and it can for a boy or a girl." Troy smiled bigger, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her neck, "I want this baby to be born...now." she giggled, "it'll happen...in due time."
