After senior year, the gang went their separate ways. They meet up again 10 months later to see where they're all at. But Gabriella has a few surprises. Like a daughter, a secret love and a life-threatening illness.

Troy ruffled his hair up and walked out of the changing room.

'Hey Troy, nice work out, dude!' He and one of his team mates touched fists and Troy picked up his bag and swung it onto one shoulder. As he turned the corner, he saw a dark haired girl talking to his coach.

'Excuse me, I'm looking for Troy Bolton?' she asked.

'Gabi!' Gabriella looked towards Troy's yell.

'Troy! Thank you.' She nodded at the coach and ran into Troy's open arms.

He swung her round and she laughed so much she cried. 'I missed you so much!' she said, clinging on to his neck tightly.

Suddenly something occurred to Troy. He set her down. 'Why are you here?'

'What, I can't come to see my best friend?'

'Gabi.' Troy warned.

'Fine.' She pouted. 'I wanted you to meet someone.'

She walked round a corner and then came back with a pushchair. Troy looked at her, confused. She reached into the pram and took out a small baby, holding her over her shoulder. Troy's eyes widened.

'Is that…?'

'This is my daughter, Troy. Or more importantly, this is Brad's daughter.' Gabriella said, rocking her.

'Oh.' Troy said. He thought that they wouldn't have lasted long. He was bad news. 'Well. You don't want to keep him waiting.'

Gabriella's forehead creased in confusion. Then she realised. 'Oh God, no! Troy, I'm not with him. He left me when he found out I was pregnant.'

Troy paled with anger. 'Why?'

'He didn't want my baby. He was cheating on me.'

Troy's eyes narrowed. 'Son of a bitch.'

Gabriella put a hand over her baby's ears. 'Troy. Not in front of the minor.' She smiled.

'Sorry. What's her name?' Troy reached out and stroked her dark hair.

'Actually…she hasn't got a name. I came here to ask you a few things. Like, what to call her and…would you be the godfather?'

Troy pointed to himself. 'Yes.' He said quickly.

Gabriella laughed. 'Do you wanna hold her?'

'Yeah, sure.'

He took the baby girl from Gabriella's hold. 'I've got three names.'

'Yeah?' Troy was distracted by how much Gabriella and her baby looked alike.

'Lacey, Lila, Skyla.'

'Skyla. It means scholar, doesn't it? She'll take after her mommy.'

Too bad I won't be able to see her do it.

Gabriella's thoughts there.
