This was it. She was finally big enough to have the classified baby bump. After thanksgiving, her 12th week approached and she finally was one week away from the second trimester. She was now beginning to feel the pregnancy effect her. Troy was constantly being annoyed by her strange craving for salty and somewhat spicy food. She's also misplacing her car keys annoying Troy. But he was still there.

Her 13th week was another milestone as well. She finally reached her second trimester and was in it for the long run. She was starting her fourth month, the vomitting decreased dramatically and she was beginning to glow and be more positive. Her stomach was still getting a bit bigger

Finally her 14th week, she was connecting with her baby more then ever. Singing, reading, and playing music for it, she felt a connection between the two.

Sitting at the kitchen table with Troy, she was glowing like the sun. Christmas was about two weeks away and she was extremely excited to be with her boyfriend and the family. Rubbing her belly and eating nice hot breakfast that Troy made she stared at him across the table. The season of giving made her happy and she couldn't wait to spend it with a man she loves. Speaking of giving...

"Let's have sex." She said excited scarring him. Putting the paper down and looking at her seriously. She smirked and he took his reading glasses off sighing.

"Let's do it." He jumped up and picked her up as she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, she smiled as he kissed her gently. "It's been two months." She nodded and he rested her on the bed gently. Removing his shirt and hers, they both were frozen. They were going to finally have sex after all this time.

As the hour grew longer, they last a good two hours until they finally realized they had to join civilization as Troy remained in the bedroom under the covers, Gabby wearing his long t-shirt shuffled into the kitchen grabbing her phone and checking for any missed calls and texts. Unfortunatly she missed a call from Sharpay and looked over to Troy who fell into a nap. She groaned walking into the room with her hand on her hip, and her phone on the ear.

"I'm the one supposed to be taking a nap." She sighed annoyed. Once Sharpay finally answered the phone she explained how she wanted to do some last minute shopping with Gabby. Gabby got dressed quietly as Troy's arms were open for her to cuddle with. She smirked running over to get a Teddy Bear from a bag in the baby's room and pulled out the teddy bear. She smiled placing it in his arms, fixing his hair and then taking a picture of the two. She giggled making it her background, proceeding to kiss him gently.

He mumbled on her lips, "Not cool." She pulled back giggling, slipping on her casual beige boots with her dark grey yogas, and a long white tight t-shirt. "Where are you going?" He asked groggily sitting up fixing his hair.

"Sharpay asked me to do some shopping with her. I'll be back around six so we could decorate the house. Okay?" She asked and he nodded. "Bye babe." She said leaving the room looking back and seeing him with his head under the pillow. She giggled.

As she sat in her car, driving through Manhattan, she enjoyed the view of all the things to offer in the city at this time of the year. The buildings were dressed up casually with plenty of decorations. Plenty of Salvation Army santas were hanging on the streets with the bells in their hands. Many New Yorkers carried bags and coffees in their hands. She enjoyed her endless Christmas' in New York and then it hit her. She's supposed to be home for the Holidays. She tensed up thinking about having to go home and tell her family that she was already pregnant.

Groaning, she parked her car in the parking Garage and walked down the streets to find a Macy's store with a shopaholic inside. When she opened the doors, she saw Sharpay with another man. She scoffed and laughed looking at the whole scene. She kissed him goodbye and looked over to Gabby who had her arms crossed. Sharpay looked guilty and walked over hugging her.

"He's gay." Was the first thing that slipped out of her mouth as they looked at dresses for Christmas Day. Gabby nodded.

"Mhmm." She said sarcastically. She found a cute dress but not her style. She continued.

"No really. It's not what you think." Sharpay said. "It's...I don't know." She said paranoid. Gabby thought that this was something classic that Sharpay would pull.

"Do you want to know what I think?" Gabby asked as they walked past the bedding section heading to the baby clothes. She slowed down.

"Oh please Gabby!" She pleaded. Gabby smiled and grabbed a pillow from her side and started hitting her with it.

"What's your problem!" She shouted hitting her over and over again with Sharpay squealing. Shoppers looked at the two and walked on continuing their shopping. Sharpay grabbed it and hit her back.

"What was that for?" She screamed back. They both looked around and then regained their composture and walked over to the baby clothes.

"Alright. I've been seeing that guy for a while. But it's only because he needs to be comforted. My other friend Amanda left him and took his kids and now he needs someone. I'm just there to comfort him. Hell, I've had him in my house with Tony there. Okay?" Gabby nodded picking up a dress for a newborn infant. "You want a girl?" Sharpay asked. Gabby smiled.

"I would love one, but if I get a boy, I'd be happy, almost happy as if I got a girl." She smiled and Sharpay nodded.

"Let's just get some toys and a crib and what not for the baby right now. Then as soon as we find out the gender, I'll take you shopping okay?" Gabby smiled and rubbed her baby bump.

"You got it dude." She smiled as they looked over to a Mahogany Baby Crib.

Walking into his apartment with her new treasures, She found Troy listening to Christmas music with the tree already up, and the lights scattered around on the floor. She walked to his room and put the presents away and walked into the living room smiling upon seeing him.

"Hey babe." She said happily walking over and wrapping her arms around his waist placing her head against the strong muscles of his back. He sighed relaxing feeling her in the room.

"Hey beautiful." He said with a chuckle. "I had to fix somethings, other then that, we're all good." She smiled, bending over to pick up an ornament that was pretty and had her name in cursive. It was a little heavy but she adored it. Troy snuck up behind her and grabbed her sides scaring her, and making her drop the ornament.

"TROY BOLTON!" She shouted looking down at it then seeing a ring in the glass. "Troy..." She said hesitantly. He bent down and moved the ornament over and picked up the ring remaining on his knee. She was shocked.

"Gabriella." He started out. "I love you so incredibly much. I want you in my life forever." She smiled as he grabbed her hand. "Would you marry me?" She nodded as the ring slipped on her finger. She sat on his knee and kissed him quickly.

"It's beautiful." She said smiling. He nodded kissing her again.

"I don't want a shot gun wedding baby. We should do it after we have ours." She nodded.

"I agree." She touched her small belly.

Another week rolled around and Gabby was finally in her full swing of her pregnancy. She gained about five pounds and the stomach was getting there. Being 15 weeks, she was anxious for this baby to come now. It was December 22 and they were all awaiting the christmas activities to come.

She was almost there in distinguishing her babys gender. Along with that, as soon as they found out that, they would begin to fully decorate the babies room. She was more then excited.

"Babe." She shouted from the couch. As Troy finished packing the bags for the holiday down in New Mexico until Christmas Eve. They were leaving early that morning. With a baby bump showing, she figured it was time to tell her family.

"What?" He asked normally not afraid if she was feeling any pain.

"I wanna have a boy." She said softly rubbing her belly. She smiled and her heart felt warmer. "I mean like I want a bo-" She stopped midsentence feeling a kick come from her belly. She screamed in excitement and Troy ran over looking afraid.

"What happened? Are you okay!" She nodded smiling grabbing his hand and placing it where the kick was felt. He looked confused until he felt another kick. He gasped and looked over to her quickly.

"Baby..." She said to him as he looked down to his fiance'. She smirked and kissed him. As their tounges had danced, she felt a shift in her stomach. He...she was moving. She couldn't believe that her baby was finally connecting with her on a personal level.

"That was incredible..." He said lost for words. She smiled and couldn't believe what she was feeling. She smiled and he stared into her eyes as they heard their apartment buzzer go off.

"Mr. Bolton, youre ride is here for the trip." The manager spoke through the speaker. Her smile faded once he left to respond, and to imagine what her mother and father would think of the whole pregnancy behind their backs.

As the flight touched down, she was holding his hand tightly stressing over the fact that her family would hate her. She hasn't even told Charlie yet, the person in her family nearest to her heart. Troy looked over to her as he vision remained ahead. She smiled over to him to assure him she was fine.

"You're not fooling me..." He said honestly and her smile fell through.

"I know." She said with a sighed. She pulled her long wavy hair to the side as she stared out the window as people began to file out. She looked down to her belly and groaned noticing how it was obviously noticable.

They stood up and he grabbed her hand, linking them together as they grabbed their luggage from the top, and began walking out to the Airport. Her phone buzzed softly in her pocket and saw a text message from her mom.

'We're waiting over by the doors. See you soon xoxo'

She sighed as they walked and noticed the huge doors. She sucked in her breath and frowned seeing her mother look over to her smiling widely. That was until she saw the bump on her daughter's stomach. The smile faded as the family stood there as she approached.

"Gabriella Maria Montez." Her mom said shocked. Troy placed his hand on the small of her back soothing her. Gabby sighed as they got closer and her mom's eyes were filled with tears. Charlie stared at her stomach shocked and her dad remained standing clueless.

"Hi Mom..." She said with caution.

The whole car ride was awkwardly silent as they pulled up to the Montez household. Troy's parent's were expecting him to be over as soon as they got home so he had to leave after they set everything up. Her mother walked to the kitchen, grabbed a wine glass and bottle, and sat down at the kitchen table where she poured the drink and sat there, staring ahead. Gabby sighed and walked over as Charlie remained in the kitchen baking off another pie for needy families. She turned the radio down to hear everything going on.

"Mom." Gabby announced as her mother looked over to her with tears in her eyes. "Mom, I'm sorry." She said hurt.

"Why didn't you tell me when you found out?" She shouted. Gabby winced at the tone in her voice. "You're my little girl." She said about to cry over board.

"Treat me like I am then mom." She rebuttled looking at her face. "Ever since I could remember, you've always put Sharpay over me. I grew up thinking that you always wanted her, not me." Maria sat there shocked.

"I know I have." She said honestly taking a drink out of her glass. Gabby sighed. "And I've been working on changing that, but you ignore my phone calls." She said.

"I know. We need to just fix it and work it out. It's just so stupid." She said slamming her hands on her thighs. Maria nodded as the house phone rang and Charlie answered it.

"I need you to be home more often then." She said and Gabby nodded.

"Or you could come to New York and visit the boys." Maria smiled.

"Of course." Charlie walked in and gave Maria the phone. She answered. "Oh, alright. I will be leaving shortly." She hung up. "The church's bake sale started and I forgot. I will be home later." Gabby nodded looking over to Charlie. As soon as the door shut, she ran over squealing and running to her side.

"How does it feel?" She asked excited and Gabby lit up.

"I just felt the movement before we got here. It was kicking around and moving softly." She bit her lip and Charlie touched her stomach. She looked up and her piercing green eyes were filled with warmth.

"Oh man." She said excited as she moved her hand around more, when Gabby noticed her ring finger was gone.

"Not engaged?" She asked and Charlie's eyes turned cold.

"Oh, um. I broke it off. He was with my bestfriend." She sighed. Gabby raised an eyebrow.

"Does this always happen to the Montez girls?" Charlie gasped and giggled.

"You bet." She smiled and got up, walking to the kitchen.

"I bet Chad would like that." Gabby mumbled. "Listen I'm going to the Bolton's."

Gabby picked little Samantha up who wasn't as little anymore. She was now eleven months going on her first year. Lucielle smiled as the family was relaxing in the living room.

"I'm so glad you're pregnant. I love to have another grandchild." Gabby giggled and Samantha was bouncing on her knees. Katie smiled.

"It sure is nice. Sam's going to have a cousin to play with now." Gabby made a face and Sam giggled. Troy was in the kitchen with his dad and he chuckled.

"Shut-up Kate." He shouted.

"Go home." She shouted back. Gabby giggled.

"Yeah, but it's funny because on my other side of the family, my brother's wife is pregnant and she's eight months. And then in this family, Sam's already here, so in both families, this little booger is going to be the second grandchild." They laughed.

"That's ironic." Kate said giggling.

Later on in the night, Troy took Gabby outside on the porch and turned on the christmas station when the Charlie Brown song came on. He pulled her in closely and they danced and she was confused.

"I was thinking about living back here." He said into her ear. She sighed.

"I did too. But then again, you have the new resturant, and it would be fairly impossible for me to find a job like that here." She said and he groaned annoyed knowing she was right.

"Maybe when the baby gets older?" He asked. She kissed his ear.

"Maybe." She smirked.
