"Okay. Ready?" Ms. Montez asked.

They both took a deep breath. "Yes." They flipped all 3 over and they all said..

"Positive" Gabby said shaky and tears were in her eyes.

"Im scared." She cried softly into Troys chest.

"Shh. Baby Brie, its alright. Everything is going to be okay. Your going to be a great mother. And your not going to go through this alone. I will be right here every step of the way." Troy said embracing her and stroking her hair. "I love you Gabriella" He kissed her forehead.

After a few minutes and she was calmed down, she said,

"I love you too Troy. And thank you.. for everything."

"Anything for you" he replied

Maria smiled about the way Troy treated Gabby and how he calmed her down. She knew immediately, that Troy was going to be a great father, and that sometime

in the future, Troy and Gabby would get married. She knew from the moment she met him that they were each others one and only. She knew Gabby would be in great hands.

"Troy, your going to need to tell your parents. Do you want me to call them and we can all talk about this together?" Maria asked.

"That would be great. Thank you so much Maria." Troy replied.

About 15 minutes went by, Troys parent had just arrived and they all sat in the living room. Maria on a the chair, Leslie(Mrs. Bolton) and Jack(Mr. Bolton) on a 2 seated couch, and Troy and Gabby on the 3 seated couch. Gabby was curled up in a ball and was leaning against Troy with his arms around

her. She was pale, and very exhausted, and still was a bit queazy and had a headache.

"So.. there is something important we need to discuss? Is that right?" Leslie asked curiously but was smiling.

Leslie and Jack loved Gabby like she was their own. They also knew, like Maria, that Troy and Gabby were each others one and only. They knew they

would get married and were quite excited about it.

"Umm. Yes. I am actually quite excited about the news I am about to tell you. I can tell Gabby is too, but she is a little scared. I am too to be honest." Troy began and Gabby nodded.

"So.. what is this excited news?" Leslie asked excitingly.

Troy took a deep breathe. "Mom, dad, Gabby is pregnant."

There was a silence for a few moments but suddenly..

"Wow. Congratulations! Im so happy for you guys. Really. I think this is a sign that you guys are truly meant to be together forever" Leslie got up and gave them both a hug.

Jack was shocked at first but then was able to say something.

"Congratulations guys. Im very happy for you. But what about school and things like that."

"Thanks" they both replied. Then Troy began.

"And that is also what we need to talk about. College, and money, and things like that. We want to discuss it now so we can be totally prepared even though we have 9 months."

"Right. Well. Im not exactly sure. College will be hard with the baby. Its your senior year and its October, so they baby will be born around August. Which means you guys will probably have to take a year off. Then when the baby is 1, you could put her or him in a daycare, or maybe sometimes me, your father, or Maria can take him or her. But once Gabi is 3 months, she can't go to school anymore. But im sure we have enough money to get a home school teacher." Leslie explained.

"And I want to get a part time job for a little while and get some money. I can work until it gets closer to my due date." Gabriella said.

"And I will also be getting a part time job to get some money. Im not sure where, but I'll go checking around." Troy told them.

"I can help with the money. I have a bunch saved away in case we needed it. Also I have money from Gabi's father that he left us in his will. And we definitely need it for a crib, and all the furniture things. And clothes. I have some clothes from when Gabi was a baby if it's a girl." Maria said.

"We can also help. We have plenty of it. More than we need and me and Leslie were thinking of giving some to charity but we can give it to you guys. We have some clothes from Troy also." Jack said proud that he could help.



"Thank you guys so much. It means a lot knowing that we have your support. I know we are only in high school, but I really think we can handle this." Gabby said as she smiled.

"Your welcome. But it is getting late so we have to go. Work in the morning and school for you guys. Troy, are you staying or coming?" Jack asked.

"I have some extra clothes and my bag here. So Im staying incase Gabby needs me. And I want to." Troy said as he put his arm around her. Then he got up,

hugged his parents, and Troy and Gabby went upstairs.

"This definitely could be something good." Leslie said smiling.

"They are going to make great parents. Even if they are in high school."

"Yes. It definitely could be. And they will be great parents." Marie said as Jack and Leslie left.

When Troy and Gabby got to Gabbys room, Gabby said, "Troy, Im still scared to death. I know we can do this, but what if im not a good mother, or what if

I..."

Troy cut her off. "Listen to me. I know you are scared. That is to be expected. Im not going to lie, im scared too, and I know this will be a lot of work and it is going to get tough at times. But you will be the most amazing mother. You are around kids all the time. Kids love you and you love kids. You will make mistakes, but everyone does. Your human, that is

expected too. But we can do this. Okay?"

Gabby nodded and Troy pulled her into a hug. She felt so safe. Like nothing could hurt her. She was so happy that he is the father.

"I love you" she said softly.

"I love you too" he said

Well. The life changing thing, I think we can safely

say, has happened. Will they tell the gang? The rest

of the school? How will everyone else react? Read the
