Chapter One

Choices. Man let me tell you about that, and what I'm about to tell you, you can either choose to agree or disagree frankly I don't care. It's all up to you, you make the choice. Now let me tell you about choices. Choices. That's all life is about…making choices. The choices you make will affect your life there's no getting around that. As a man I've discovered that there are only two types of choices in life. The 1st is the choice that you regret and would gladly do anything to change it. The 2nd is the choice you would never go back and change no matter how bad it is at the moment cause you know deep down inside with a little time and patience it will get better. How do I know all this you ask? Well I know because I made a choice recently that fell into the choice option number 2, and so far because of the choice I made everything looks bad. But as I said above I wouldn't change it for nothing. Nothing in this entire world would make me take that choice back cause I don't regret it. That's right I, Troy Bolton will never regret the choice I've made. Because that choice I made was made in love. And when you make a choice based on love you will never regret it. So let me be the first to say this to you before someone comes along and tries to sprout lies to you. I made the choice to be with her because I love her and as far as I'm concerned that was the best choice I've made. A choice based on love is the best choice I could have made. And I will never regret loving her.

Staring up at the ceiling with unseeing eyes Troy Bolton lied sprawled against his bed, as he thought about the recent events in his life. It was funny how one night of passion could change everything. He never really thought he be a teenage father, but because of recent events that was a possibility. Well that had all changed last night, and he didn't know how he felt about it. Continuing to stare up at the ceiling his mind drifted off to last night.

Last Night…

"Taylor, you can't be serious." He exclaimed as he paced his bedroom floor back and forth not wanting to look at her for a moment as her words continued to sound in his head, Taylor lowered her head into her hands and started to cry. "You just can't be serious." He said finally stopping his pacing so he could look at her. His voice escalating as he said each word, she lifted her head her face wet with tears.

"This is my life too."

"And that's my child your carrying I have a say in what happens you can't kill my child." He yelled as he looked at her his chest rising and falling in fury. Lowering her hands she looked at him for a moment and placed her hands in her lap.

"Troy if I carry this child to term I'll have to push aside all my plans for college I mean my God Troy we haven't even graduated yet. We have no way we can take care of this baby no possible way."

"We'll find a way." He said slamming his hand into his fist. "What makes you think we won't find a way to provide for our child?"

"Because we haven't even graduated from highschool yet."

"That doesn't matter that baby isn't going to wait for us…and we need to be prepared for when it gets here. I want my child to be raised by us and I damn sure don't wait to give my child up for adoption or for my child to be aborted." He said shaking his head for a moment while looking at her.

"Troy, you have your whole future ahead of you…I wouldn't want to have this baby and then when we grow older you begin to resent me and our child. No I don't want that."

"That would never happen."

"Oh it wouldn't…so how are you going to feel when you're looking at college basketball games on television…how are you going feel when everyone you know is enjoying a carefree life but you're stuck with me and a baby before you turn eighteen."

"I've made my choice Taylor…which means I can live without basketball. You're the only one making excuses. I love you and I love that child growing inside of you and I want to be with you both." He exclaimed as he turned on her and forced her to look at him.

"Well I don't know, Troy I mean if we do this…if we really do this college will probably be out of the question." Troy rubbed a hand over his face, shaking his head as he looked at her.

"You just aren't getting it…I'm willing to make the sacrifice for my child…the question is, are you?" Taylor stood then and looked at him for a moment as she rubbed her arms.

"I have to make the best decision for us both."

"So you're going to do it…if you do don't except me to come along with you." He shouted as he went over to the bedroom door. "Well if that's what's going to happen I'm done, Taylor."

"What?"

"I am done…if you change your mind call me…and if you don't…well don't bother contacting me." He shouted ignoring Taylor's shouting his name as he stalked out of her house.

Now…

It had been a week since that confrontation between himself and Taylor, and he hadn't heard from her. Sadly he felt as if she had done what she had been talking about doing, and knowing that, his heart seemed to break. He jumped as his cell phone went off, not even bothering to look at the caller I.D. he picked up. "Yo."

"Troy…oh thank god you picked up." He frowned as he heard the panic in Taylor's voice sitting up he rubbed a hand over his face and looked up at the ceiling. "Troy?" she asked probably wondering if he had hung up on her.

"I'm here and what exactly do you want." He asked harshly not caring how she felt about hearing him talk like that to her.

"I…I couldn't do it, and I need you to come and get me."

"Where are you?"

"Downtown…I went by myself but when I got here I…I just couldn't do it." She whispering and Troy could hear the sobs in her throat. "I realized that if I did this I would never be able to forgive myself…I wouldn't be able to forgive myself and you wouldn't be able to forgive me either." She said openly sobbing now. Troy felt his heart clench in his chest as he quickly got off the bed and slipped on his tennis shoes.

"Where are you?"

"Downtown at the clinic…on 3rd Street. I came on the bus and-" She whispered trailing off as her sobs finally started to calm down. He looked at his watch and sighed.

"I'll be there in about fifteen minutes."

"Okay…I'll be in the building next door, I couldn't stay there Troy I just couldn't." she whispered making Troy strain to hear her voice over the cellphone.

"I want you to calm down…all this crying isn't good for the baby alright." He whispered as he went downstairs and headed towards the garage. Once he got into the car, he pulled off as fast as he could. "Taylor baby keep talking to me alright so you can stay calm."

"Okay."

"I'm glad you decided to keep the baby…for real Taylor I'm really happy about this." He whispered to her as he drove out of his neighborhood and headed downtown. "Don't worry though we are going to work all this out I promise."

"Okay…and Troy I am so sorry I didn't listen to you I was scared and I-."
"I'm not angry with you baby I still love you okay…that is in the past now so don't even think about it anymore. Look I'm almost there okay just hang on." He said as he pulled over and hopped out of the car. Moving quickly he scanned the street till his eyes saw Taylor peeking out of the window next door to the clinic turning off his phone he ran across the street and went into the building he was immediately wrapped in a tight hug as Taylor held him fiercely. He wrapped his arms around her as well not wanting to let her go, bending his head he placed a kiss on her forehead and then as if a floodgates had opened up he began crying as well and began to rain kisses all over her face. "I love you, Tay. Baby I really love you." He whispered as capturing her lips in a hot kiss. "Thank you for not doing it."

"I couldn't do it…I just couldn't do it." She whispered as she buried her head into his chest. Troy rubbed her back and slowly began to lead her out of the building. "We'll get through this together right?"

"Together…I wouldn't dream of leaving you or our baby." He whispered kissing her forehead before helping get into the car. The ride back to her place was silent as they both thought about the baby she was carrying and how it would affect their lives. Once Troy stopped the car, Taylor turned to him and grabbed his hand.

"Come inside my parents are gone for the night so its cool." She whispered as she looked at him. Troy nodded his head for a moment and then turned his car off and followed her inside. Together they made their way up to her bedroom where all this had started several months ago. Taylor sat down on the bed and looked at Troy as he moved to sit beside her. "The baby is going to be due in April." She whispered placing her hand on her stomach. Troy watched her for a moment and nodded his head.

"Yeah…we'll become parents in April." He whispered placing his hand on top of hers; she looked up to meet his glaze. "And we're going to be the best parents in the entire world." He replied softly as he leant down and kissed her.

"Troy, when are we going to tell everyone…when are we going to tell the gang and oh god our parents." She whispered placing a hand over her mouth. He looked at her for a moment nodding his head.

"You're right we have to tell everyone…and I think we should tell the gang when Chad and Gabriella come back into town. I know that we broke up with them over the summer but we need to tell them…and then we'll tell our parents."

"Troy, what if they don't take the news well."

"If I know Chad at all…well he will probably try to kill me." Troy said with a smirk, Taylor however didn't crack a smile at his words as she continued to look at him. "I guess that wasn't funny."

"You're right it wasn't." she stated as she laid back on the bed, Troy followed suit and laid down beside her.

"Look all that you need to know is that we will get through this together…I promise you that right now. You will not regret being with me."

"I don't regret it Troy…I just never expected to be a teenage mother." She whispered as she turned her head to look at him.

"I didn't expect it either but I'm going to adjust…because I want to be that kid's father." He replied as he looked over at her as he patted her stomach gently. "Don't worry Taylor I promise you that no matter what happens I'll be here for you and our baby."

"I love you so much Troy and again I'm sorry for even considering doing what I was going to do today." She whispered as she looked up at him a lone tear falling down her cheek, reaching up he wiped it away and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"I love you too." Once that was said, it seemed to calm down Taylor who immediately snuggled closer to him. Wrapping his arm around her he held her close, after a few minutes he could tell she was asleep due to her even breathing, with a sigh he pulled her closer as he thought about telling everyone. Cause it didn't take a genius to know that once the news was out it wasn't going to go over well with anybody.
