Chap 7

"MAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAA," Lissy said shaking her Gabriella awake.

"Uhhhuhhhhhh Lissy leave me alone," Gabriella said, she had 15 more minutes before she had to get up for school and she was trying to get as much sleep as possible.

"MMAAAAAAAMMMMMMA WWWAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEE UUUUUUPPPPP!!!!!!"
Lissy has been doing this for about 20 minutes, Gabriella knew she wouldn't stop until Gabriella finally got up so Gabriella wiped her eyes and sat up in her bed.

"Fine I'm up."

"Tan ooo ive ee eckfast," she asked.

"Grandma said she was gonna make you breakfast for me."

"She'd ot ear, she'd ed at oh ould ache it tause she'd oh ome air," she said trying to pull Gabriella out of bed.

"Did she tell you where she went?"

"No."

The second Gabriella got up onto her feet she felt a very nauseated, she dropped Lissy's hand and ran to the bathroom. She remembered this part of the pregnancy and she hated every minute of it even back when she was pregnant with Lissy she couldn't stand it.

"Mamma rd oh otay," Lissy asked.

"Yeah baby Mamma's okay, come on lets go get breakfast and get ready so Mama can go to school."

She's only 2 so whatever her mom tells her she believes so she just went on without really thinking about it.

Gabriella made Lissy eggs and toast, the whole time she was making she had to hold her breath because the smell made her want to hurl. While Lissy was eating Gabriella went to her room and got ready for school, she looked at her cell phone and she had 5 new texts from Troy. She really didn't want to text him back because she was just going to talk to him at school.

Everything about Troy's calm attitude last night confused and scared Gabriella, he made everything seem so easy that nothing was going to be hard. He made it seem that being in high school and having a baby wouldn't stop his dreams of becoming a NBA Basketball player. She cared for him too much to let him agree to something she knew he wouldn't like in the long run. She wondered if she should even have the baby, she was already having a tough time with Lissy, she didn't know how she was going to be able to have two kids at 16.

Gabriella and Lissy finished getting ready, and they got in the car and rode to school. There is a little day care right next to the high school that Lissy goes to when Gabriella's mom is at work and it's her turn at Gabriella's. The owner is a old time friend of Ms. Montez, so she gives Gabriella a discount on the tuition.

"Bye Baby Mamma will come pick you up in a little while okay," Gabriella said when she handed Lissy of to the people in charge.

Lissy looked at Gabriella with tears in her eyes, she never like leaving her mom during the day especially if she was with strangers.

"Mamma oat go," she said with more tears streaming down her face.

"Sorry baby Mama has to go."

Gabriella hated having to leave Lissy but she had to, so she gave her another big hug then left for school.

When she pulled into the parking lot Troy was sitting on the hood of his car waiting for her.

Gabriella took a deep breath before she stepped out of her car and walked up to him.

"Hey," he said when she walked up. He got up and pulled her into a big hug.

"Hi."

"Are you okay, you look upset," he asked.

"Yeah Im fine I just dropped off Lissy and she cried."

"O Im sorry."

They stood there for a few seconds not knowing what to say next.

Gabriella looked behind herself and saw Taylor walking towards them. She wanted to tell Taylor about the baby as soon as possible because she knew that Taylor would help her.

"Hey guys," Taylor said cheerfully.

"Hey," Troy said.

Taylor looked over at Gabriella and saw that she was sad, she hated seeing her friend hurt.

The bell rung and they all migrated to their first period. Troy and Gabriella walked hand in hand and listened to Taylor talk about her Alegbra 2 test.

"Go i'll be there in a sec," Troy said when they got to the classroom.

"Okay."

With Troy:

"Taylor theres somthing up with Gabriella," Troy said pulling Taylor into the hallway.

"Well she's your girlfriend dont you know."

"She is but i dont know why she's upset. She was fine last night after she told me she was pregnant," He said not knowing that Taylor didnt know. Taylor's eyes got wide and her mouth dropped, she was so shocked.

"After she told you what?!!!"

Troy then realized that Taylor didnt know and knew that Gabriella wouldnt be happy when she found out.

"I shouldnt have told you that," He said.

"That's probably why she's upset."

"But yesterday she was fine," he repeated.

"She's probablly really worried aabout the whole thing. I'm suprised that you arent scared out of your mind too."

"I am but i know we can figure it out."
"I think you should talk to her about it and sort stuff out. Even tell her that your scared too, so that she doesnt deel alone," Taylor suggested.

Troy knew Taylor was right he just didnt want to admit it, he was scared too but he wanted to put on a brave face for Gabriella because she thought she wasnt worried because shes been throught it before.

With Gabriella:

She couldnt pay attention in any of her classes, she just thought about what her mom would say, what wuld be best for all of them, how they were going to finish school, what people would think about her. She would never know what she missed that day in Physics.

Gabriella couldnt wait until lunch she was so hungry, she caught up with Troy and they walked to lunch together.

"After school i'm going to look for job applications, so that youre not the only one making the money," Gabriella said while they were standing in the lunch line.

"Why, i'll just get some more shifts."

"Because a baby needs a lot of things and i want to take responsiblity also," She said.

"Are you sure because i can do it."
"Yes, i'm sure, we're in this together," Gabriella said then gave him a short sweet kiss on the lips.

After they ate their lunch they went and hid on the rooftop like they always do.

"It's okay to be scared, because i am too," Troy said pulling Gabriella to his lap. Gabriella smiled becuase he finally realized what was wrong with her.

"My only fear is that we wont be able to raise a baby and Lissy while trying to finish school," She said.

"I know it'll be hard but we just have to keep out heads up."

He grabbed her hand and sweetly kissed it,"As long as we stick together everything will be fine."

"Let's hope so," she said

They sat their on a bench staring at each other, and shared a few over zelous kisses and they lightly rested their hands on Gabriellas stomach. Once the bell rung they left each others sides and want to class. When Gabriella got to her class Taylor was standing at Gabriella's desk waiting for her.

"Hey girlie," Gabriella said.

"Hey best friend, when were you going to tell me about the B-A-B-Y," Taylor said with her hands on her hips. Gabriella was confused, she didnt know that Taylor knew.

"Who?"
"Troy told me this morning, but it was totally an accidcent. He thought i knew already."

Gabriella wasnt mad that he told her, and she knew that he would automaticlly tell Chad.

"O It's okay i was going to tell you anyway...so after school i'm going to get another job so Troy isnt the only one making money for 'our' problem," Gabriella said sitting down at her desk.

"Well if you need me to watch Lissy i can, or if you need any help at all i'm here," Taylor offered.

"Thanks, but i promised her i'd take her with me."

"Does Lissy know," she asked.

"Nope."

"Your mom?"
"Not yet," Gabriella answered.

"David?"

"No."
"Then who does know," Taylor asked.

"You, Troy, possibly Chad," She answered, "I'm kina afraid to tell my mom."

"Why, she was cool about it last time."

"Yeah but this in number two even before i have graduated high school, no mom would be that cool," Gabriella explained," And i cant have an abortion or give it up because that wouldnt be fair to it."

"Okay class take your seat," their teacher said.

Once th ebell rung to signal the end of school Gabriella walked out to the parking lot and found Troy sitting on his car waiting for her.

"Hey I thought you'd be at basketball practic by now," she said.

"I ditched, i wanted to come with you to look for a job," he said hopping of his car.

"But wont your dad be mad."

"Yeah but i dont care," he said grabbing onto Gabriella's waist and giving her a few kisses.

"But we have both cars."

"Your right, well why dont i drive to my house and you come pick me up so you dont have to drive in my crappy truck as you so call it," He suggested.

"Okay i'll go pick up Lissy and i'll meet you there,"

Troy gave her another kiss then they both got into their cars and drove away.

Gabriella went to the day care center to pick up Lissy. When she got there it was nap time for all the kids.

"Can i help you?"
"YEah i'm here to pick up my daughter Lissy," Gabriella whispered.

"Yeah, um you sign her out here then you can got get her."

She signed the paper and slowly walked to the sleeping Lissy. She got to her and Gabriella carefully picked her up then walked back to her car trying not to wake up Lissy.

When she got to Troy's house he was sitiing on his front porch playing with the basketball. He got into the car and they drove off to the mall.
