7 months
It's been seven months since Gabriella found out she was pregnant and with Sharpay's child…sort of. They've been to many appointments to look at the progress of their growing child and so far it was growing strong and is very healthy, which is always a good sign.
Sharpay has gotten more of a 'fatherly side' as what Gabriella called it because she's started doing a lot of fatherly things. She started talking to the baby and rubbing Gabriella's stomach every time it'd start kicking since supposedly sometimes a baby needs their 'father's' touch; and usually the baby stops when she does it.
And now she has started to paint the empty room where they planned on placing the nursery. Sharpay came in with two cans of green paint as Gabriella sat on the couch reading a magazine. The brunette glanced up to see her wife of eight months dressed in white overalls and wearing a little painter's hat on her head, with her blonde hair tied back in a ponytail.
She began making her way into the room, placing the cans down on the painting blanket that she placed on the floor previously. As Gabriella watched all of this, she decided to push herself up off the couch and make her way to the room to see what her wife was doing exactly.
"Honey, what are you doing?" she asked leaning against the door pane. Sharpay turned around and smiled at her.
"Painting the room; I got this really nice green because since we don't want to know the sex of the baby just yet and it says that green is a neutral color, so I figured I'd get to painting," Sharpay explained sitting up to talk to her wife.
Gabriella shook her head "Well do you need any help?" she asked beginning to walk in, but Sharpay quickly pulled her out.
"No I want you to rest up on the couch and besides I don't want you around all the fumes from the paint; it could be bad for the baby's health," Sharpay told her, walking her to the couch as Gabriella pouted, but agreed. Sharpay leaned down in front of her and kissed her lightly on her still pouting lips and smiled.
"It's okay, we'll go shopping for a crib and a rocking chair and changing table; all of that after I paint the room," the blonde promised, kissing her one last time then walked back into the room and began painting.

"Aw this is so cute," Gabriella says as she passes the little baby clothes in Babies R Us as Sharpay pushes the cart around. Sharpay was really happy that Gabriella was so into this whole baby shopping thing, of course she did want to get the necessities, but Gabriella was so focused on clothes.
"Babe, we don't even know what were having yet, please let us focus on say a crib maybe," Gabriella pouted as Sharpay said those words.
"You're no fun anymore. Why is it so terrible that I want to get clothes for our child, our first child mind you?"
"Gabs I don't mind buying clothes, in fact you know I love to, but with us wanting to wait to know what the baby is, we should hold off on any regular clothes until it pops out," Sharpay shrugged, starting to walk as she rolled the cart along as Gabriella soon followed close by.
They walked around the store, hand in hand until they got to the crib aisle and found the perfect crib. It is made out of stained wood and shined like you wouldn't believe. It was clearly the perfect one for their first child. They knew whatever it came out to be, they'd be happy since it would be from both of them.

Gabriella laid in hers and Sharpay's bed, sleeping peacefully when she heard a bang causing her to jolt up from a wonderful dream she was having. Being that she's very pregnant, she tends to get sexual as well with her hormones going wild. The dream was of Sharpay doing very sexual things to her; pleasurable things which just turned into annoyance.
The brunette huffed, sliding out of bed slowly making her way towards the banging. She followed the sound which led her to the room they turned into a nursery for the baby. She popped her head in to see Sharpay putting together the rocking chair they bought for her.
"Remind me why we didn't just have workers do that," Gabriella stated, causing the blonde to look up at her wife.
"Did I wake you?" she asked, ignoring the question.
"Yeah kinda, but I guess its okay since I can probably tell you aren't in the same mood you were in my dream,"
Sharpay hoisted herself off the floor and walked towards her "What kind of mood was I in?" she asked, trying to be sly as Gabriella eyed her suspiciously.
"Was I in a…" Sharpay started, lowering her lips down to the brunette's ear whispering something that must've had an effect on her because a barely audible groan escaped her lips. "Oh I'm sorry," Sharpay said even though her wife knew that she was nowhere near sorry.
Sharpay walked around the brunette, towards their bedroom as Gabriella followed her wife with her eyes, suddenly realizing she was in her boy shorts, slowly pulling her tank over her head which she was wearing no bra underneath. Gabriella gulped and groaned, feeling an ache in between her legs.
"Are you coming baby? I guess I'm just gonna start without you," she heard Sharpay yell from their bedroom.
"What? No, I'm pregnant, I'm entitled to take as much time as I want," Gabriella replied back to her.
"Mmm oh Gabi, right there, oh fuck baby, yes,"
Gabriella's eyes widened, walking quickly into the room, shutting the door behind her to have some amazing sex with her wife.

"Yeah I know it's just that I really would hate to leave her with her being…yeah I guess…okay bye," Sharpay hung up her cell phone and turned to look at her beautiful wife, sleeping on her side on the couch. She sighed. She didn't want to leave for her tour in three weeks simply because she didn't want to leave Gabriella. She's seven months pregnant and she would hate to leave her in that condition.
Sharpay got up off the stool in the kitchen and walked towards the couch. She sat down in front of Gabriella's face, stroking her hair, just savoring the moment. She decided she's gonna savor as many moments within these three weeks as she can.
"Mmm," Gabriella stirred, opening her eyes tiredly. She looked at the blonde in front of her and immediately smiled. "Hey," she whispered.
"Hey, I'm sorry I woke you," she replied as Gabriella shook her head.
"It's okay," she told her, stretching slightly. "What's going on?"
Sharpay sighed sadly. "Martin called and I leave for my tour in three weeks. Will you be okay when I'm gone?"
"Yeah, yeah I'll be fine," she replied. She wasn't that happy that Sharpay was leaving and she may not be there for the birth; she hoped she would be there, but there is always that doubt.
"Are you sure?" she asked her, looking in her wife's eyes in concern.
"Yeah it's okay," Gabriella said as Sharpay nodded.
"Okay,"

Within the three weeks, Sharpay spent as much time with Gabriella as possible while getting ready for the arrival of their baby. Sharpay still wasn't okay with leaving Gabriella to go on tour, but she knew she had to, plus if Gabriella did really need her she'd be right back in a flash, there was no doubt about that.
She called Mark and he said that he'd check up on Gabriella as much as possible which she was happy to hear because she wanted someone to be there to get what she needed or just to simply see how she was.
"Okay now if you need me at all call me please," Sharpay told her as her bodyguard grabbed her bags.
"Baby really if it's a little thing, I'll call Mark. Something major you'll be the first one I'll call," Gabriella told her, kissing her lightly.
"Okay, but I mean I really have a bad feeling about this,"
"I'll be fine. The baby will be fine, okay?" Gabriella urged.
Sharpay sighed and nodded. "Fine, you're right it's probably nothing. I love you and I'll call you everyday to check in and stuff,"
"Okay, I love you too," Gabriella smiled, kissing her deeply as Sharpay returned the passion and smile. She waved from the door sadly, walking out of the penthouse, shutting the door behind her.

It's been an hour since Sharpay left and Gabriella didn't realize how lonely it was. She knew this was going to be a long month or so with the way she was feeling now. It was like Boston all over again when Sharpay would leave to go cut tracks for the album and she hated it, but now she's pregnant and it feels completely different.
As she sat in their penthouse on the couch she sighed. It was extremely silent and she hated it. It was like you could drop a pin on the hard wood floor from the bedroom and you'd hear it. She really missed Sharpay. She missed her kisses, her touch, the feeling of being in her arms; she missed everything.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and she sighed, hoisting herself up. She walked slowly when another knock was made against the door again.
"I'm coming," she said, walking to the door. She unlocked it and opened the door, making her eyes widen in shock.
There was a man with a beer bottle in his hand looking down. He looked about her age with brownish blonde hair. He looked up and right then she knew. Those ocean blue eyes.
"Troy," she whispered.
"I told you I'd be back,"
Okay so I'm sorry this took so long to update, but I got stuck. Now that I know how I'm going to finish this, expect this to be updated. There are about two more chapters left and hopefully I'll be able to write the new one soon because I really want to, but with school and everything else, I may have to hold off. We'll see, but thank you so much for the reviews you guys are awesome and Michelle, I love you so much baby :)
