Chapter 6

Heard Through The Grapevine

I woke the next morning did I really tell my mother that I was pregnant. I couldn't remember was it real.

I got up from bed and walked downstairs I entered the kitchen to find my mother sitting at the kitchen table feeding the twins "Hey sweetie" my mom said with a smile "you want to help me feed the twins"

I felt my heart plummet to the ground I was secretly hoping that last night wasn't a dream to bad it was, so I still had to tell my mother about my little mishap.

I sat down at the kitchen table and preceded to help my mom with the twins. After breakfast I got dressed and went to Jessica's house I really needed to talk to her I needed advice good advice.

I knocked on Jess's door the maid answered "Hey Janice is Jessica home"

"Hi Gabby dear, yes Jessica is in her room listening to music so just walk on in"

I shook my head and preceded up the stairs.

I walked into Jessica's room to find her dancing to Ricky Martin's Living La Vida Loca it was hilarious she looked so goofy shaking her butt I stood at the door laughing. She finally realized someone was in the room she stopped dancing and turned off the radio. She looked at me and we both started laughing "Oh wow I'm so embarrassed" she said

"Please I always knew you were a Ricky Martin fan"

Jess smiled and gave me a hug "Hey girly you look cute" she said sitting on her bed

"Thank you, you look pretty hot yourself"

"Yeah well I try, so Gabby I haven' seen you in what has it been three weeks, what's going on"

My smile faded a little. "Jess I have something to tell you"

Jessica looked at me "Sweetie are you okay"

I shook my head and the tears started pouring out

"I'm pregnant" I cried laying my head on Jessica's lap

Jessica didn't speak hell I don't even think she breathed. "Are you sure"

She asked

I sat back up "positive I took three freaking test plus I went to the doctor I couldn't be anymore pregnant."

"Oh Gabby how far along are you"

"About 4 months remember at the mall when you asked if I was pregnant well I was I don't know what to do me and Troy got into a giant fight the other day I'm to afraid to tell my mom I don't know what to do"

Jess sat there rubbing my back comforting me the best way she knew how. "What was the fight about" she asked

"he wants to keep it and I told him that wasn't an option and that I was contemplating getting a abortion"

"what he wanted to keep it whoa I thought he would be the one to tell you to get the abortion not the other way around" jess said with surprise

I laughed bitterly "yeah you would think"

We were silent for a moment then Jessica reached over and laid her hand on my lap "Gabby you don't think you might consider keeping it"

I looked at Jessica "No that thought can't enter my mind it just can't I have to much to lose a part of me just wish I could get rid of it then go home and act like nothing ever happened I know that sounds horrible but I wish it was some way to do that".

Jess looked thoughtful for a minute "wait a minute there might be a way to do that" she leapt from the bed and went to her night stand she flipped though a magazine once finding what she was looking for she gave me the magazine

"there right there is the answer to your problem"

I looked and saw a ad for one day abortions it read that it took only a day to recover no parents needed just 50 dollars for the first month 15o for the second month 300 for the third month and 450 for the fourth month my jaw dropped at the outrageous prices.

I looked at Jessica

"What this is the only place that will give you an abortion in the second trimester for under 1000 dollars do you know how much a regular abortion cost 300 hundred dollars the first month 3000 by the second trimester". Jessica said

I scratched the back of my neck. "Thanks for trying Jess but I don't have 450 dollars and I'm not going to be getting 450 in the next couple days I can't ask Troy for it because I know he won't give it to me" I started to break down "just when I thought I found a solution"

Jessica reached and gave me a hug I cried on her shoulder "Gabriella I'll give you the money and don't try to tell me not to because I am you'd do it for me and I love you and I hate seeing you like this so don't start to protest just schedule you an appointment and we'll go together"

I started crying harder Jess was so wonderful I swear I didn't deserve her.

"Gabby are you okay"

"I'm fine I love you so much you're like the big sister I never had"

Jess smiled "well that's my job now wipe away those tears and get your bum up and lets go get something to eat I'm starving"

I gave small smile and wiped the tears away "lets go"

Later that night I felt a hell of a lot better I'd made the appointment to get the abortion for this Sunday. The only thing was I couldn't help feel guilty, I hadn't spoken to Troy and I had no intention on speaking to him I'd come up with the decision to just get the whole abortion thing over with not telling any one other then Jessica and Aracely since they were the only ones other then Troy that knew about my pregnancy.

"Hey sweetie how are you" my mom greeted as I walked into the kitchen

I jumped I wasn't expecting to see her "Mom what are you doing here I thought you'd be at work by now"

"I was suppose to be but I decided to stay home with my babies I haven't spent time with the twins in what seems like forever"

"Oh" I said softly going over to the refrigerator I grabbed the milk and leftovers and went to counter. Now I'm not sure what made this happen it could've been the way I was standing or the fact that I was devouring two plates of food but my mom suddenly asked "Are you gaining weight" I

I looked at her then I looked down "uh yeah um I have gained a little bit of weight I guess all that extra exercise I've been doing has me eating more then usual"

"Well sweetie I don't think that exercise is working because you're mostly gaining weight in your middle like in your stomach"

"It's fine mom and I'm bloated so its fine my stomach will go down in a couple days" I said or a couple months I thought to myself. My mom shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention back to the twins.

I hurried and ran out the room that was close I think it was about time to go back to some over sized t-shirts.

I went to my bedroom and pulled out my cell phone no missed calls I'd hadn't spoken to Troy in forever he hadn't called me and I hadn't called him. We were in a fight and I hated it. Troy had become more then a boyfriend he'd become one of my best friends and us not talking wasn't doing me any good. I missed him so much it was like a deep whole was in my heart and it wouldn't be filled until he came back into my life.

Sunday

Me and Jess were at the clinic I was so nervous I was happy to have Jess here with me. "Gabriella Montez" The nurse yelled

I jumped at the sound of voice "That's me" I said nervously

The nurse nodded "The doctor will see you now"

I was shaking I couldn't move my feet felt like they were glued to the floor
"Gabby, come on sweetie they called you" Jess whispered

"Jess can you help me up" I asked softly

Jess helped me out the chair we followed the nurse into one of the rooms. I was so nervous I thought I was going to piss on myself.

"Change into this the doctor should be here in a moment" The nurse said handing me a gown then leaving out the room.

Jess sat in the chair, as I put the gown on with trembling fingers, I sat on the table waiting for the doctor, Jess tried to lighten the mood by talking about her and Kevin but I was to nervous to even think straight. Where the hell was the doctor I thought to myself. Finally the doctor came in
"Hello Ms. Montez, I'm doctor Moore" Dr. Moore introduced himself

"Alright Ms. Montez we're going to examine you then I'll tell you about the procedure and how much you'll pay then we'll go ahead and get the deed done" he said clapping his hands. He brought the ultra-sound machine out "WWait I thought you weren't suppose to see the baby" I asked, Dr. Moore looked at me "Well Ms. Montez if you weren't so far along we wouldn't have to look at the baby but now I need to judge its size and see what I'll need to dispose of it" and with that said the Doctor preceded to hook the machine up, and the next thing I knew I saw a picture on the screen I felt tears well in my eyes that was the baby I would never see. Jess seeing my tears immediately ran over to me and grabbed my hand. The doctor seemed scared as he backed out of the room "I'll leave you two alone for a minute" he said closing the door .

I was brawling "thhis wwwwasn't suuuppose to happen, I wasnnn't suuuppose to see thhe bbbaby thhis ccchanges eeeverything" I sniffed

"Gabriella calm down every one gets nervous I'd be looking at you crazy if you weren't crying right now" she said soothingly

"No, Jess you don't understand I don't think I can do this, that's a baby a real baby my baby I can't kill it I can't I'm sorry because I know you helped out a lot but I can't kill my baby"

Jess smiled "It's okay Gabby I can't kill my baby either"

I looked at Jess I was shocked "yyyyou're pregnant ttto"

Jess started crying "YYes I just found out the other day, I haven't told Kevin yet"

"OOH my god we're pregnant" I cried

Me and Jess cried in each other's arms. Then the Doctor came back in. "Um sorry to interrupt but we need to get going"

I sniffed back the tears "I'm sorry Dr. Moore but I can't go through with it sorry to have wasted your time" .

The doctor sighed "Its alright Ms. Montez why don't I print you a picture of the baby"

I smiled "I'd like that" the doctor printed the picture and we left.

I stood in the parking lot starring at the picture. My baby was the only thought that was going through my mind Jess stood by my side.
"Jess I'm pregnant I guess I'm just know realizing it but I'm pregnant"

Jess gave me a hug "Gabby we can do this together okay we can do it I love you and I'll be there for you"

We stood in the parking lot outside the abortion clinic hugging neither one of us was aware of the presence that was also in the parking the presence that was at the moment taking a picture of us.

Later that day .

Jess dropped me off a Troy's apartment I had to speak with him we hadn't spoken in nearly a month and it was about time to have it out. I was very nervous..

I knocked on the door and Josh answered the door "Oh Gabriella what are you doing here" he said

"I need to speak with Troy,"

Josh didn't say anything

"Josh are you going to let me in" I asked looking confused

Josh gripped my shoulders and pushed me outside the door

"Gabriella I'm not sure you should be here, I mean ever since you told him you weren't going to keep the baby he's been pretty messed up I don't want you to see him like that he won't leave his room and every time someone tries to go near him he's ready to bite someone's head off"

"Really well I really need to speak with him I don't care how he's acting this is important"

"If you're going in I'm living out" he said, we walked into the apartment. Josh grabbed his coat and left me alone. I walked hesitantly towards Troy's room. If he was a bad as Josh was saying I should've been heading in the opposite direction.

I got to his door and knocked softly on the door. No answer. I knocked harder
"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY DOOR" came my answer

"Troy its me" I said

I waited about 30 seconds then the door opened and there stood the love of my life more handsome then I remembered his eyes were blood-shot red and he had a days worth of hair on his face but to me he was gorgeous.
"What the fuck do you want" he said

I was a little taken aback by his words but I didn't run I stood my ground and said "we have to talk"

"We have absolutely nothing to talk about get out of my fucking house"

I felt the tears in my eyes but I refused to let them out. I pushed past him and walked into the room

"Troy Bolton I have something to say whether you want to hear it or not"

Troy closed the door and turned around he glared at me "talk and make it fast I have something to do" he said softly.

I was hot I took my coat off "okay I went to the clinic today (Troy scoffed, I ignored him and continued despite the tears that started to come down) well I was sitting on the table then the doctor came in"

Troy interrupted me "I don't need to hear the details about how you murdered my child" he said bitterly

I ignored him and continued "so he brought in this machine for the ultra sound, you know on those brochures they say you don't need to see the baby you pretend like the baby doesn't exist that it just a fetus, but from the moment that he showed me that baby on that screen, I'll admit I'm not perfect far from it I'm 16 years old I don't have a job I'm still in school , I'm pregnant and I'm terrified but despite all that from the moment he showed that baby I knew I was going to keep it, because from the moment I saw my baby on that screen I felt this surge of undying love and I knew I couldn't do it" I sniffed "so that's it that's all I wanted to say I couldn't do it I couldn't kill our baby"

I stood there for what seemed like forever. Then Troy walked towards me

He stood in front of me and looked me in the eye. "You didn't get rid of the baby" he asked his voice thick with emotion.

"No" I said

Then Troy kissed me hard against my mouth I fell back against the wall. Troy kissed me all over my face traveling to my neck gently sucking on it my eyes rolled back and I moaned softly. Troy massaged my breast through my shirt. "Troy please make love to me" I murmured

Troy unbuckled my jeans in response. Sliding them down my legs along with my panties. I stood in front of him naked from the waist down. He looked me in the eye then he took off his basketball shorts his big member springing out I looked down at him then looked back up. "Fuck me" I said softly

Troy needed no more encouragement he picked me up and took me to his bed he laid me down and got on top me of me kissing me on the lips then he ripped open my button up unclasped my bra and started to suckle my breast I gripped his hair and moaned. Troy traveled lower until he reached my secret place he started licking and kissing me down there I thrashed against him running my fingers through his hair moaning incoherently finally I reached that place of complete pleasure, screeching my release. I sat up on my elbows and looked down at him pleasuring me "Please Troy I need you inside me now" I moaned weakly Troy gave one final kiss to my clitoris before coming back up. He positioned himself in between my legs I wrapped my legs around his waist, I felt my body expand as I felt him enter me. "OHH Yessss " I moaned as he began to move inside me started off slow then gradually increasing the pace 'Oh fuck that feels so good oh please harder" I moaned gripping his shoulders as he continued moving inside me. I felt my orgasm began "I'm about to cum I'm about to cum" I moaned

"Come on baby come to paradise" Troy moaned in my ear

That was it, that sent me over the edge I screamed my release. Troy moaned my name as he came inside me. Then he collapsed against me both of us were breathing heavily "I missed you" I said softly

Troy kissed me "I missed you to".

We fell asleep in each others arms,

The next morning when I woke up

I was shocked to realize it was not only Monday but the end of spring break meaning I had to get to school.

I got up and went and got into the shower. When I came out the bathroom Troy was up going through some papers.

I sat on the bed "So we didn't really talk last night"

He looked up at me "I know, but as far as I'm concerned we don't need to I love you and I missed you we'll talk about the other stuff later but for now you have to get to school" he said

I smiled "Okay well I need a shirt"

Troy grabbed one of his t-shirts and gave it to me

"Hurry up so I can drive you to school"

I quickly dressed in the jeans I wore yesterday and Troy's shirt I pulled my hair back into a ponytail.

"Alright babe I'm ready" I said

Me and troy left his apartment and he drove me to school.

We pulled up to my school I saw all the students and felt a deep hollow form in my chest I really didn't want to go back. I turned to Troy "okay so I guess I'll talk to you later I doubt I'll be able to go out tonight my mom is already going to be upset with me for staying out all night"

"It's okay I'll see you soon"

I smiled and reached over and gave him a small kiss that soon became a passionate kiss I pulled away from him before we ended up making love in the car "Alright I have to go I love you" I said getting out the car

"I love you to" he said before driving off.

I watched as the car drove off then headed into school in a dream-like state I was so off into lala land that I hadn't noticed the people starring at me when I got out Troy's car or I didn't notice the people starring at me though out the school day it wasn't until lunch did I realize something was going on.

I was sitting at our groups usual lunch table when Amanda came to the table "Gabriella is it true" she asked

"Is what true"

"Well I heard that you were pregnant by some rich boy that stays in West glen"

I felt my heart stop "What where did you here that from"

"Its going all around the school apparently someone saw you and Jess at the abortion clinic and they posted it on the school gossip website"

"WHAT, oh my god I have to find Jess do you know where she is"

"UM I think she's in the bathroom when I told her about you she started throwing up"

I ran away from the table and went the second floor washroom

"JESS" I screamed I looked in every stall I found her in the last stall slumped over the toilet puking her guts out

She looked up at me "I'm sorry" she sniffed

I shook my head "what happened " I asked

"I don't know but I read the blog and I quote "seems as though good girl Gabriella Montez isn't so good anymore we've recently caught wind on the fact that Ms Montez is indefinitely pregnant and has been for quite some time she was recently seen at the unwanted surprises office where we were told she was suppose to get an abortion but couldn't do it" end quote Gabriella I'm so sorry I don't know who found out"

"how can this happen how can someone find out " I said panicking

"I don't know but I think we need to get out of here, I mean don't panic no one reads that stupid school blog anyway its stupid its just for people who don't have a life and like to live though real peoples lives come on I'll take you home" Jess said standing up.

With those reassuring words we left the school maybe Jess was right who outside of our school read that cheesy ass version of gossip girl website.

Fat chance was all I could say later on that day when Aracely came storming in my room "Gabriella everyone at school knows you are pregnant it was all over school they even have a picture of you getting out the car with Troy"

"What" I said

I went to my computer and typed in sure enough there it was me and Troy in his car kissing and under it read We now have a face to go along with Gabriella's baby daddy a unidentified male who seems to be about 18 or 19 and allegedly lives in an apartment in the suburb known as West Glen.

"What the fuck am I a celebrity now" I said more to myself then Aracely

"Well Gabby you are like the smartest girl at you East High and your pregnant to them that's like big news"

I sighed "well people were bound to find out sooner or later since I decided to keep it"

"You did you're keeping it" Aracely asked

"Yes I couldn't do it, how pissed was mom about last night" I asked changing the subject

"Actually mom didn't come home last night she spent the night at the office, so you're off the hook for now, and look on the bright side only teenagers know not one adult has came up to me so you might have a couple days before mom finds out." .

I shook my head. "I don't know" I said heading back to my bed "all I know is that I need a nap" I said before going back to

I awoke from my nap and went straight to the kitchen my mom was there cooking dinner.

"Hey mom" I said

"Hey sweetie how are you"

"I'm fine"

" Oh my god Gabriella guess what I heard today it was hilarious "

"what" I asked

"Well my co-worker told me that her daughter who goes to your school she said your pregnant, funny isn't it" my mom said with a laugh

I was frozen all the blood must've drained from my face.

I could still hear my mom talking about how she knew it was absurd and that I was still a virgin. And I couldn't move I tried to make a break for the door before my mom realized I was just standing there.

Just when I thought I was a caught Aracely came into the room

"Hey mom Gabby um I need your help with my computer" she said grabbing me by the hand come on she escorted me out I started to breathe normally

"thank you" I whispered

She smiled "yeah I figured you needed my help when I saw you froze"

I took a deep breath "she refuses to believe I'm pregnant all the signs are in her face why doesn't she want to believe I'm pregnant" I asked I couldn't believe my mom didn't believe I was pregnant all the sighs were in front of her face yet she refused to believe "Uh Gabby" Aracely said trying to get my attention but I ignored her
"its so frustrating because as crazy as it is I just wish she'd find out already I just want her to find out I'm pregnant Gabriella Montez is pregnant" I said

"Gabby is that what you really want"

I gave a small laugh "of course not"

"Well all wishes don't come true" she said pointing towards the door

I turned slowly towards the door and there stood my mom. It happened again I froze and from the looks of it so did my mother.
