The rest of the day past by quickly; Troy and Bella had decided to spend a quiet night in their new home.

Troy laid on the couch holding Bella with her cuddled into him. They had been watching 'Titanic,' Bella's favorite movie but she had fallen asleep before the ending.

Troy stared at the ceiling. Somewhere in his mind he wanted to stay in that spot forever. He had his Bella; that was all he needed. He didn't need some kind of big wedding to prove it either. He loved her and that was all that mattered.

He thought about what he had said last night about the exact thing. He had told Bella about it, but she didn't agree.

"She didn't agree," he repeated in thought, "she wants this wedding and I have to give it to her whether I have a nervous break down or not I have to give it to her."

Chad, Taylor, Bella, and Troy had been sitting in the waiting room for what seemed like hours. Troy had had his head stuck in the same magazine since they got there and after looking and reading every single page twice it was getting old.

Peaking up he saw what sickened him most about the doctor's office: the doctors. He knew he way to old to be afraid of a doctor, but every time he came he could swear they were all watching him, waiting on the right moment when he was alone to knock him out with some kind of shot.

Willing for anything to ease his mind Troy tapped Bella on the shoulder. "Taylor said they might find out whether it's a boy or girl today," he whispered to her. "I know that was like the millionth time you've told me," she whispered, rolling her eyes.

Troy waited a few moments but when she didn't even look at him touched her arm. "You're not still mad about the other night?" he asked. Bella moved away, "funny that's what I should be asking you cry baby." Troy pulled his hand back and looked back to his magazine astonished. Bella had never called him a cry baby like that before. What was wrong with her?

"Taylor McKenzie?" A doctor in a white coat carrying a clip board came out into the waiting room. "That's me," Taylor said getting up. Chad followed her and whispered something into her ear that caused him to get a giggle out of her. Chad held her hand and the couple strolled into the hall and the door was closed.

Troy cleared his throat this time in order to get Bella's attention. "Aren't you curious though Bella?" Troy asked, "I mean maybe one day that'll be us." Bella looked up finally after about a minute. Her eyes were wide as if any moment she would cry. "I'm sorry Troy," she said. Troy wrapped his arms around her in a hug. "I'm sorry to," he murmured.

Gabriella grimaced at the fowl smelling slop as she gave it to the Doberman, Chico. What ever was in it he seemed to like it more than she did because he was scarfing it down. That was it; all that had to be done today. She had washed the dishes from breakfast, swept the floor in every room, made dinner, and so forth. She didn't want to watch TV that was for sure; right now there was nothing on but stupid comedy shows and she didn't feel like laughing.

Gabriella opened a window and let the cool winds blow her dark hair back. She closed her eyes. "I have to go," she thought, "I have to get out of here for at least an hour. I tired of being trapped inside these walls and confined from everyone I know." She stifled a sigh. "I miss them all so much," she mumbled.

"Miss who?" Gabriella turned at the sound of the gruff voice. "Oh hi dad," she said with a fake smile plastered on her face. "I was just thinking out loud. No worries, I'm fine," she promised.

Jake put his hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him and instantly couldn't see that craze look in his eyes that she had seen before. He was back. He was her dad again. "I was just thinking about my friends from high school. I haven't seen them in a while."

One of Jake's eyebrows rose. "Why didn't you tell me this before," he asked. "I did but you were to out of it to listen," Gabriella thought but didn't dare say out loud. He might not be the best of them but he was still her father and she must respect him. "I was afraid you wouldn't let me," she said instead, she bit back any other thoughts from coming out.

"Of course I would Angel. All you had to do was ask," her dad said, "would you like to go after dinner?" Gabriella suddenly felt sick to her stomach. She hadn't been out with her friends in a while. The only time she had seen one of them is if they would pass her in town, but she had such a small voice they would rarely see her.

Suddenly it occurred to her that she didn't have a clue where they lived now. It was obvious they no longer lived with their parents, but she still lived with her dad. That defiantly wasn't fair.

"Gabriella?" "Huh?" Gabriella suddenly realized she must've dazed out in thought. "Oh sure dad," she said, "I would loved to go meet up with my friends." In thought she added, "Or just get out of this house."

Troy had just dropped Bella off at the coffee shop. He said he would be back for her in 40 minutes.

Bella strolled in ordered her usual latte and went to her usual booth. She had gotten a newspaper on her way in and was now looking through it. It was her typical usual part of the afternoon.

She heard the bell at the door ring announcing another customer had arrived. Bella looked at her watch it was; it was 3:00. She was one of the few people in town that came to get coffee at this time. She did know all their faces that did at least, but she was surprised when she saw a girl that she had never seen before come looking for a table.

The girl looked about her age and her height. They even looked somewhat the same; she had long dark hair and brown eyes just like she did. But Bella considered it a coincidence; a lot of girls she knew had her hair and eye color.

Bella dismissed the girl at first, but then decided to be nice and go over. "Hi," she said walking over with her latte and newspaper. The girl just waved as Bella sat down next to her. "So are you new here?" Bella asked putting another fold in her newspaper to make more room on the table.

The girl shook her head and looked down at her own cup. Bella started to feel a little insulted. She had taken the time to come and talk to someone that she didn't even know because she looked lonely and this was the thanks she gets? "Are you gonna talk to me?" Bella asked her in the same tone as before but less enthusiasm.

The girl looked up at her. "About what?" she asked. "For starters why's a girl like you getting coffee at this hour?" The girl made a sound of a scoff and replied, "I should be asking you the same thing."

The both sat quiet for a moment. "Look I'm sorry," the girl said, "I'm just in a bad mood because most of my friends hate my guts now." Bella began to feel a sense of sympathy for her. "Why; what happened?" she asked. "I don't even know where to start," she answered, "it happened a while ago though and they still won't let it go." "Let what go?"

Just before the girl could answer her question Bella heard Calvin, one of the employees that she knew very well call her name. "Your boyfriend's outside," he said pointing out the window.

"Well I have to go," Bella said. She pushed in her chair and collected her newspaper and latte. "I better go to," the girl said. She got up and pushed her chair in and was about to walk off when Bella had a quick thought. "Hey wait!" The girl stopped and Bella went over to her. "You want to have lunch together tomorrow?" Bella knew it was sudden and she didn't even know her but she wanted to get to.

"I guess I can. Where?" Bella paused thinking of a place. "What about the restaurant right around the corner," Bella suggested. The girl nodded.

"Don't you want my name," the girl asked with a laugh. Bella laughed too, "Yeah my name is Bella Madison. What's yours?" She put out her hand. "My name's-"

"Bella he's still waiting; he's gonna hold up traffic in the parking lot at the pace you're going," Calvin said from behind the counter. Bella mouthed out the words '1 minute' and looked back at the girl and shook her hand. "I really have to go," Bella said. "Okay, my name is Gabriella Montez by the way," she said. "See you tomorrow," Bella replied, "around 12:30, okay?" Gabriella nodded.

Bella left the coffee shop and went out where Troy was waiting for her. "What took you so long?" he asked. Ignoring Troy's question she asked, "Can you drop me off somewhere around 12:30 tomorrow?" Troy nodded and looked back at the road as they drove off.

A.N- Sorry it took so long. My dog just had nine puppies!!
