Chapter 30

Gabriella was never alone now. Kids at East High had heard about Gabriella's baby boy and had rung the doorbell so many times that Ms. Montez had to get it fixed. And still kids came, bringing presents for the baby. Even boys came with bags of presents.

One day Ms. Montez eyed all of the presents and said, "Well, there's one good thing about all of these."

"What?" Gabriella asked. Taylor was looking through the bags, sorting them out and putting the bibs with the bibs and toys with the toys and so on.

"You won't have to go shopping!" Ms. Montez answered. Taylor laughed, but Gabriella just smiled. She was too tired to laugh.

The doorbell rang again. Ms. Montez went to answer it and came back looking bitter.

It was the Boltons minus Lucille.

Jack was a little uncomfortable being in a Spanish house, but he became even more tense when he saw the way Ms. Montez looked at him.

He looked away and his eyes landed on Gabriella. He frowned a little, wishing that is was Sharpay, not Gabriella, who was laying down on the couch.

Troy couldn't care less about Sharpay. He walked over to Gabriella, who was less than happy to see him.

"Hey, Gabi," he said. Gabriella looked at him with anger and sadness in her eyes.

Taylor paused her organizing and glared at Troy, saying, "What do you want, Troy?"

Troy cleared his throat and said, "Well, um, I have to tell Gabriella something."

"Well, what is it?" Gabriella asked.

Troy looked at his father, who gestured to him to go on.

"Well, uh," Troy said.

"Spit it out, Bolton," Taylor said. Troy glared at her. "Look, Tay, this is none of your business."

"Don't 'Tay' me," she yelled. "Just hurry up and say it! Gabriella has more important things to do then listen to you take an hour to say something."

Part of Gabriella wanted to stick up for Troy and tell Taylor to shut up. But most of her wanted Taylor to continue shouting.

Troy turned to Gabriella, "Look, Gabi, don't get mad at me, okay? This wasn't my idea."

"What is it, Troy?" she said. Troy sighed. Taylor yelled, "Hurry up!"

Troy glared at Taylor. "Will you just let me talk?"

"I will if you talk quicker!" she screamed.

Suddenly, Gabriella felt something trickle down her leg.

"Guys," she said.

Taylor and Troy didn't hear her and kept arguing.

"Why did you kiss Sharpay?" Taylor yelled.

"Mind your own business! That's between me, Gabi, and Sharpay" Troy screamed back.

"Guys," Gabriella called out louder.

Taylor and Troy still didn't hear her.

"Gabi is my best friend!" Taylor pointed out.

"AAHHHHHHHH!" Gabriella screamed when she hit her contraction.

Taylor looked at her friend in panic.

"The baby's coming now?" she said. "But it's not due until next month!"

"Who cares? Just get her to the hospital!" Troy yelled, grabbing Gabi's hand.

Ms. Montez was about to call the hospital, but Jack had already did.

Few minutes later, everyone but Taylor had piled into Jack's minivan. Taylor was calling everyone else to tell them the news and take any calls that came in while Ms. Montez and Gabi were gone.

On their way to the hospital, Gabriella bit her lip, trying hard not to scream. Troy could've sworn that he couldn't feel his hands anymore, but he didn't care. He was there for Gabi, and he wanted to let her know that.

When they arrived at the hospital, there was already a doctor waiting for them.

It was Dr. Kilbourne.

"Come on!" he exclaimed. They got Gabriella into the delivering room. As soon as Dr. Kilbourne closed the door, Gabi hit another contraction and screamed.

Troy whispered, "Gabi, stay calm. You're gonna get through this. Trust me."

Gabi nodded and looked into Troy's blue eyes. But then she hit another contraction.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" she screamed.

"It's head is showing!" a nurse said. Dr. Kilbourne talked to Troy.

"Make sure she's pushing," he ordered. Troy nodded.

"On three." Dr. Kilbourne said. Troy whispered, "You can do this Gabi."

"one...two...THREE!" Dr. Kilbourne said. Troy could feel Gabi's grip tighten as she pushed.

For two whole hours it was like this.

Then finally, Dr. Kilbourne said, "Last one. One..."

"Come on, Gabi," Troy whispered.

"Two..."

"I know you can do this," Troy whispered. Gabi looked into his blue eyes. So sincere. So...loving.

"THREE!"

Gabriella pushed and screamed. Then finally she heard the baby crying.

"It's a boy," The nurse said. She wrapped him up in a blanket and handed it to Gabi. Gabriella sweaty face lit up and she smiled as she took the baby into her arms.

"Hey," Gabi said softly. "Hi, Trevor."

That's what the baby's name was now...Trevor Chad Bolton.

As Troy watched the whole scene, he started feeling guilty.

How was he going to tell Gabi the news now?

What is the news? Read the next chapter to find out. Sorry that I changed it, but I just didn't like the original one.

Pssst...if you already read the original one, you would know what the news is.
