It was time for gym. The whole hang had it together.
"Alright. Today we are just going to play basketball. Just laying low. If anyone doesn't want to play basketball, just chill on the bleachers I guess." Coach Bolton said.
"Gabriella, Troy, come here." Jack said.
"What's up dad?" Troy asked.
"Office first. Private conversation." They went into his office.
"So, this is gym. And I don't think Gabi here should participate as much." Jack started. Troy and Gabi nodded. "Things like today, sure. But if we do something that I don't think is safe for Gabi or the baby, I want her to sit out."
"Okay. That's fine." Gabi said.
"Your classmates are going to ask why you are sitting out too. We need to discuss what we should say. " Jack told them.
"Well, sometimes we could say she doesn't feel good. Or wrist injury. We shouldn't say ankle, cause then she would have to limp all day or something." Troy suggested
"Okay. That would work. You leave school at 6 months right? And we won't have to use those excuses for the whole time you're here; you should start to show around 3 months." Jack said.
"Right." Gabi said.
"Guys, you need to tell the principal. I don't think he will kick you out or anything, but he needs to know. Maybe you guys could do it now since we aren't doing anything important. I can come with you if you'd like." Jack suggested.
"He's right Brie. We should do it now. And I think it would be a good idea if you came, dad." Troy agreed.
"Alright, lets go." Gabi said.
"Hey, does the rest of the gang know about this yet?" Jack asked.
"Yeah." They said in union. They walked out of the office and headed for the principal's office.
Knock Knock
They heard a faint "come in"
"Ahh. Ms. Montez, Mr. Bolton, Coach Bolton, what brings you here?" Mr. Matsui asked.
"Well, there is something we, actually more like Troy and Gabriella need to tell you." Jack said.
"Yes?" Mr. Matsui said to Troy and Gabi.
"Well, you see sir, um… I am. Well." Gabriella stuttered.
"Brie is pregnant Mr. Matsui." Troy finally said. Gabi buried her head in Troy's chest scared of what his reaction was going to be. There was silence for a minute.
"Really? Wow. Um, that was unexpected." He said in shock.
"Yeah.." Troy said.
"Okay. Well first off. Congratulations. Second. We are going to need to discuss this." Mr. Matsui told them.
"Thank You." Gabi said.
"Well, me, my wife, Maria and the kids talked about it. We came up with some stuff. But one thing you need to know is that Gabriella will be attending East High until she is 6 months. Then she will start home-schooling. Troy will continue school and basketball until the end of the year." Jack clarified.
"Okay. That's fine. About the students finding out, I don't think they'll mind. You're East Highs favorite couple after all. And you haven't had any trouble the what, 4 or 5 years you've been dating." The Principal said. Everyone laughed.
"I think we will be fine in that department." Gabi said giggling.
"Okay well, is there anything else? I think we discussed everything we need to. If you have any concerns, come see me. And again, congratulations." Mr. Matsui told them.
"Thank you." They all said back. They all walked out. Once the door was shut, Coach Bolton headed back to the gym, Troy and Gabi stayed back.
Gabi sighed in relief, turned to Troy as a tear slipped from her eye. He wrapped his arms around her waist. She sobbed.
"Shh baby girl. This is good news. He didn't kick us out or anything, he wasn't even mad. There's no need to cry" he whispered in her ear which stroking her hair and rubbing soothing circles on her back.
She calmed down after a few minutes. "I know. I'm sorry. God, these stupid hormones. They are all whacked out! I was crying because I was really happy. But these hormones just made me emotional." She laughed.
"No need to be sorry Brie. Your allowed the be emotional. You're pregnant." He said into her hair.
"Shh! Not so loud. I'm not ready for the whole world to know." Gabi said.
"Oops. Sorry."
