"My pants will not fit." Taylor grumbled as she walked into Gabriella's room.

"God, you're telling me. I've been wearing dresses for the last three days." Gabriella said, looking up from her book. "My head is still pounding since I woke up."

"Have we been eating normally? I feel like all I did on my honeymoon was eat." Taylor shared as she sat down on the bed next to Gabriella. "Where's Grayson?"

"Daycare." She said with a shrug. "I'm starving."

"That's probably why you have a headache. I think I need to go to the gym." Taylor sighed. "Do you want to go with me?"

"No." Gabriella laughed. "I don't feel like doing anything today. I called into work. I feel morally obligated to stay in bed or else I'll feel guilty."

"I don't want to go to school."

"Don't go, we can have a sick day." Gabriella said. "I haven't laid in bed all day since I was pregnant with Grayson."

Taylor sucked in a breath. She sat up slowly. "How did you know if you were pregnant?"

"I took a tes…" She trailed off, sitting up as well.

The room was silent and Gabriella dropped the book from her hands. "Shit." They muttered simultaneously.

"We have the same cycle right?"

"I think."

"I haven't bought any tampons in like two months."

"God, me either." Taylor said. "I've been so preoccupied with the wedding before and after."

"I had Troy then I've been working non-stop."

The room went silent again. Gabriella took a deep breath as her stomach churned. "I think I'm pregnant." Taylor said quickly.

"Me too." Gabriella said quietly.

"Wait, what?" They asked each other after a couple of seconds.

"You're…"

"Pregnant?"

"I don't…"

"Me either…"

"I feel like I'm going to vomit." Taylor said, as she started to breath heavier.

"Please don't." Gabriella begged. "If you do, I'll upchuck too."

Taylor stood up. "Oh my god."

"We need a doctor."

"I'm going to be a mother."

"I'm going to have two kids."

"Chad is going to be a father."

"Troy is in Tennessee."

"We need to go to a doctor."

"I just said that." Gabriella said, looking over at her closet. "I have nothing to wear."

"Shit." Taylor rubbed her temples. "Fuck."

"I don't even know what to do right now."

"Shit." Taylor repeated.

They both sat back down on the bed. They turned to each other and burst out in tears. They sobbed as they held onto each other. "I'm going to have two kids."

"I'm going to get fat." Taylor cried.

"I'm not even married." Gabriella exasperated.

"I'm so scared."

"I don't even know why I'm crying." Gabi said in between sobs.

"Me either." Taylor said, sucking in short breaths.

"We're so pregnant." Gabriella said, causing them to break out in sobs again.

Two hours later, Gabriella woke up next to a sleeping Taylor. It was only noon and Gabriella was starving. She nudged Taylor awake. Taylor groaned, rolling over. Gabi's eyes were sore and puffy from crying. Her mouth felt dry as well. She got up quickly when she realized how badly she needed to pee.

She walked back in her room after and tried Taylor again. "Tay, wake up. I want food."

"Make your own." Taylor grumbled.

"No." Gabriella laughed. "Let's get some food."

Taylor turned on to her back and looked at Gabriella. "What kind?"

"I don't know. Let's pick something good."

"I really, really want pho."

"Soup? I was thinking like something along the lines of fat cheeseburger and potato chips."

"Not potato chips. That is all you ate when you were pregnant with Grayson."

Gabriella sighed. "I have to call my OBGYN."

"Make me an appointment too." Taylor said with a sigh. "This cannot be happening right now."

"Seriously." Gabriella sighed. "Let me call then we can get foods."

"Okay." Taylor hugged the pillow in front of her. "Let me change, these pants are really tight." Taylor rolled off the bed and went into her bedroom to change.

She picked up her phone and saw a couple messages from Troy. She replied briefly before she called the doctor. She set up appointments for herself and Taylor for monday. Taylor walked in just as she was about to hang up the phone.

Gabriella sighed, after she hung up the phone. "I have a nine appointment and you're at nine-thirty monday." She looked at her best friend. "Food?"

"Yes, please."

April 6, 2015

"I'm nervous." Taylor said on their way to the doctor's office.

"Me too. I already vomited twice this morning." Gabriella grumbled, driving.

"Chad has no idea." Taylor said. "I asked him if I looked any different, he said no."

Gabriella laughed slightly. "Chad probably wasn't even looking at you. I noticed."

"That's because you know." Taylor said, looking over at her friend. "Your boobs are so big already."

"They haven't shrank since I've had Grayson. They're going to double with this baby. They're going to explode."

"You have a bump too."

"What?" Gabriella almost slammed on the breaks.

"A little one." Taylor quickly recovered.

"No, I do not!" She lifted up her shirt. "I don't see anything."

"I'll show you when we get there. Can you drive and not kill us?" Taylor joked.

Gabi rolled her eyes. "Yeah, yeah."

She pulled into the parking lot and parked in the expectant mothers parking. Taylor laughed, looking at her best friend. "Really?"

"They come in handy." She said with a shrug.

"You don't even know if you're pregnant."

"If I'm not pregnant, you definitely are." Gabi said, sliding out of the SUV.

Taylor rolled her eyes and closed the door behind her. She shifted her purse and walked over to Gabi. They walked into the building together and checked in together. They took a seat down and sighed. Taylor couldn't tear her eyes away from the poster with a breastfeeding mother.

"I'm going to have a thing sucking milk out of my nipples."

"It won't be a thing. It'll be a baby. You didn't seem to mind when I breast fed Grayson."

Taylor shrugged. "That's because he was on your nipples not mine."

"You'll get used to it. It's kind of therapeutic. It's the best excuse. Do you know how many things I got out of that I didn't want to go to because I said I had to breastfeed?" Gabriella said, opening her purse. She dug through it and found gum.

"I guess you're right." Taylor held out her hand and Gabi placed a stick of gum in her hand. "How do you think Grayson's going to react?"

"God." Gabriella popped the gum in her mouth. "I have no idea."

"He won't even understand until the baby is actually here, he's only one."

"I'm going to have a two year old and a newborn." Gabi said, sitting back as the realization hit her.

"I'm married and pregnant." Taylor sighed.

"At least you're married."

"Atleast both of your children will have the same father."

"Touche." Gabriella said, spitting out her gum. "It's making me nauseous."

"It's kind of soothing." Taylor said chomping on her gum. "As long as I chew it like this." She said as she chewed obnoxiously.

Gabi and Taylor burst into a fit of giggles. "Gabriella Montez." The nurse called out.

"Come on." Gabi motioned to Taylor as she got up. "I'm bringing my friend with me. Taylor McKessie, she has the appointment after me."

"Come on in." The nurse said with a friendly smile. "You'll be in room two Gabriella. We're just going to do some vital signs."

Gabriella stepped on the scale after reluctantly kicking her shoes off. She watched the nurse move the weight up. "Wow, I lost three pounds." She murmured, looking back at Taylor.

"I think your three pounds went to me." Taylor joked.

Gabi laughed slightly as she sat down. She kept quiet as the nurse took her blood pressure. She answered routine question before the nurse instructed to take off her pants and left. Gabriella sat comfortably on the table while Taylor nibbled at her nails.

"Tay?"

"Hm?" Taylor hummed, looking up at her friend. "Yeah?"

"I'm really glad you're here."

"Me too." Taylor said with a smile. "I'm glad I'm not alone."

"I'm always here for you."

"Me too. Sharpay is going to be pissed when she finds out."

"Yeah, she'll probably feel left out, unless she got pregnant at your wedding too."

Taylor raised her eyebrow. "AT my wedding?"

"In between the ceremony and cocktail hour." Gabi said with a shrug. "That's the only time we didn't use protection. It was quick and dirty."

"You were gone for like 45 minutes."

Gabriella laughed. "That's quick for us."

Taylor laughed. "That is a very special wedding favor."

Gabi covered her mouth, trying to stifle her laughter as the doctor walked in. "Welcome back Gabriella, you seem really happy to see me."

"Hi Doctor, this is my friend Taylor, she has an appointment after me."

"What can I help you with today?"

"Oh…" Gabriella sighed. "We're pregnant."

"Well we think we are." Taylor mentioned. "But all the signs are there."

"Missed periods, weird cravings, pants not fitting, nausea." Gabriella listed. "My last period was… like in January."

"Wow, alright. Let me set you up with an ultrasound." The doctor said, pulling the machine over.

Gabriella relaxed back, rolling up her shirt. The machine warmed up as the doctor squirted warm jelly on her abdomen. He pressed the device against her belly smoothing the jelly around. He watched the screen intently as Gabriella looked back and forth at Taylor and the screen.

"Hmm…" The doctor hummed, taking his time to examine the screen.

"What?"

"There it is." He said with a smile, he turned up the volume and a loud thumping sounded. "Wow, very strong, very healthy baby. You're taking very good care of yourself, Gabi. I just need you to keep doing what you're doing. Take the vitamins I recommended and we'll schedule you an appointment for next week for blood work."

"My favorite." She said sarcastically.

"You look about ten weeks." He said, moving the wand around. "You said your last period was in January so that adds up. I'd say your due date will be the beginning of November."

"Thanks, Doc." Gabriella said, looking over at her best friend. "You okay, Tay?"

Taylor nodded her head silently. "Yeah, I just don't know what to expect."

"It'll be okay. I'm right here." Gabi ensured.

Taylor smiled weakly. "Alright, Gabi, you're all done. I'll let you get dressed. Leave the door open so the nurse can come clean up. I'll be back for your turn Taylor. Gabriella, don't forget to make a second appointment for next week."

"Got it."

Taylor and Gabriella walked out of the Doctors office an hour later. They stopped at the pharmacy to pick up some vitamins for the both of them. They had the same due date it seemed. After they stopped for lunch, Taylor seemed to be in a better mood. She seemed excited for the new journey she and Gabriella were embarking on together.

Gabriella parked in the driveway as they got home. They grabbed their things and walked inside the house. Gabriella giggled at something Taylor said. She stopped when she saw a figure sitting on the coach. "Troy?"

Troy turned around and got up. "Where have you been? I've been calling you all morning."

"When did you-" Gabriella's eyes widened in realization. "Oh my god!"

"I was waiting at the airport for three hours Gab. We talked about this like four days ago. I thought we agreed you were going to come pick me up."

"Oh my god! Troy, I'm so sorry. I turned my phone off cause me and Tay went to the doctor and I completely forgot about it. I thought you were supposed to call me and remind me." Gabriella said, dropping her purse on the kitchen table.

"I was going to last night but some of the guys wanted to go out but I was tired. Once I laid in my bed, I passed out. I didn't think you'd forget something important like this." Troy said with a serious face.

Gabriella had the overwhelming urge to laugh at this whole situation. She sputtered before she burst out in giggles. She looked to Taylor who was laughing as well.

Troy frowned. "What- Why are you laughing? And why did you go to the doctor? Are you okay? Where's Grayson?"

"Grayson's at school, babe." She said, in between giggles. "Oh man, I'm going to pee myself." She said, giggling on her way to the bathroom.

"What is going on Tay? Why'd you go to the doctor?" Troy asked Taylor, concerned.

"Troy, everything's fine. I promise. I'm sorry we left you at the airport." She said, patting his shoulder. "You back for good?"

"For the summer." Troy said, still confused.

"Good. We missed you around here, Bolton." Taylor smiled, giving Troy a hug before walking back to her room.

Gabriella came out with a smile. "How about a proper greeting?" She wrapped her arms around her boyfriend.

"I was expecting a proper greeting at the airport." Troy said with a playful pout.

She smiled at him, kissing his pouted lip. "I'm sorry baby. I forgot, honestly. I'm so happy you made it home okay." She smoothed his hair back. "I love you."

"I love you too." He said, eyeing her suspiciously. "What's going on with you and Tay? You guys seem like you're up to something. She's being nice to me."

Gabriella shrugged. "Maybe she's happy you're home. So her husband can bug you instead of her."

He sighed."Gabi."

She sighed mockingly."Troy."

"What's going on?"

"Can I at least have a kiss before we talk?"

"What'd you do?"

"Nothing bad Troy, I promise." She said, puckering her lips out for him to kiss.

He narrowed his eyes at her. He couldn't help but smile. She was simply glowing back at him. "I missed you." He murmured before he kissed her lips gently.

"I missed you more."

"That's not possible." He said, kissing her again deeply.

"I'm pregnant." She said breathlessly after they pulled away.

"What now?"

"That's why I had to go to the doctor. I'm pregnant." Gabriella confirmed.

A new kind of smile broke out on Troy's face. He glazed her over, taking her in. "We're having another baby?"

"Yeah." She said with a wide smile. "Ten weeks, yesterday I guess. I had no idea until the other day actually. I didn't suspect a thing until me and Taylor were talking and she said she didn't have her period and neither did I. So we talked and cried and made an appointment for today."

Troy smiled. "So Taylor's pregnant too?"

Gabriella nodded. "Chad has no idea."

"I won't tell him." Troy promised. "I'm just… I thought I would have really different feelings about getting pregnant so soon after Gray was born. I'm really happy, Gabi. Truly."

"Good." Gabriella said with a smile on her face. "Me too."

July 23, 2015

So many things happened in the last three months. Mainly, Grayson turned two and Gabriella quit her job. Her boss put too much unneeded stress on her. She didn't want to put herself or her unborn child in that environment. She had a lot of thinking to do and with Troy's support she decided she was going to move.

She was going to move across the country to be with Troy. They found a cute house in a great neighborhood for Grayson to grow up in. They knew the risks of settling in too quickly especially if Troy's future wasn't going to be with the Grizzlies. They decided they'd cross that bridge when it came to it.

They spent the last three weeks packing up everything they needed. They loaded it yesterday and it was already on its way to their new house in Tennessee. They did have to come to a quick decision on the move. Gabriella was about to be 25 weeks and she couldn't be able to fly soon. It was unfortunate that her and Taylor's due dates were around the same time. Taylor was going to be in California and Gabriella in Tennessee.

Hopefully, their baby girl wouldn't be late like their son was. Hopefully, Taylor's baby boy wouldn't be born on the same day. They did, however, decide to spend next summer in California with the Danforths.

They'd said their goodbyes and hugged tightly with two baby bumps in the way. They understood that this is what they needed to do. They were like brothers and sisters, all of them. Sharpay, Zeke, Chad, Taylor, Troy and Gabriella. Zeke and Sharpay were young and in love and pursuing their dreams with nothing in their way. Chad and Taylor were excited for their little boy to come at the beginning of November.

Troy and Gabriella were a family. Gray had sat in the middle of them on the ride to Tennessee. Troy didn't have to be back for another month or so. His focus was getting his precious baby girl's room ready in time for baby. They and their parents are excited for the new addition to the family.

There was no talk of a wedding yet or even an engagement. They had enough on their plates as it was. They had more important things to focus on. When the time came and they both were ready, it would happen.

Gabriella squeezed Troys hand as she thought about their lives and their future together. Troy smiled at his girl and reached out, rubbing her baby bump. She kicked his hand. She leaned over and gave her sleeping son a kiss on the forehead. He didn't even stir.

They touched down and grabbed their things. They packed into their rental car and drove to Troy's apartment. They were staying there until the house was finished and everything was in its place. Troy put Grayson to bed while Gabriella got in the shower.

She got changed and met him in bed. "She's kicking a lot." Gabriella murmured, running her hands over her bump.

"Yeah?" Troy asked, reaching over to feel.

"She likes when I shower I guess. Hopefully she's a little water baby. She could be an Olympic swimmer."

"Maybe." Troy said with a smile. "You're beautiful."

"I love you." Gabriella reached out for him, leaning against him, her wet hair wrapped in a bun on the top of her head. "I love you so much."

"I love you too, more than words can express." Troy leaned down, kissing her forehead. "Are you happy?"

"Very. I admit, I'm a little nervous about taking on a whole new city but I guess that's life. You're going to be here too so that makes it a little easier."

Troy chuckled. "Just a little?"

"You're going to be gone for weeks at a time. I'll still get to see you more than I did when Gray was a baby though." She said, hugging on him.

"If anything happens, I'll be more than happy to drop everything and be with you. It took a lot for you to make the move here. I appreciate it, I really do. If you ever need anything baby, and I mean anything, let me know." Troy said, looking into her eyes.

"I know." She leaned up to kiss him. "I'm so happy to be home with you."

He smiled as he kissed her again. "Me too."

And that's all folks. I'm really glad, y'all have been enjoying this story. I cannot thank you enough for your patience and your support. I've been struggling for a while now with writing and i still want to do it in my spare time. I wish i was more dedicated to it so i could even think about a career in this field but i don't think i'm cut out for it. Maybe i will be later in life. I'll still slowly but surely post new chapters every now and then. I'm trying to finish up SB and LM before i even think about posting anything new. Sometimes you need to just do it, to keep the ball rollin' ya know? No? I don't know what i'm saying. Anyway, be nice to your Fathers, Grandfathers, Uncles and whatnot. You never know if this is going to be their last fathers day.

I love you guys, Don'tforgettoreview.
