Wow, I'm the only one that's not a Bolton, thought Gabriella. Annabelle's a Bolton, Michelle's a Bolton, Junior's a Bolton, and Troy's a Bolton, well…duh.

"Gabriella, are you okay?" asked Troy.

"Yeah, sure! Why wouldn't I be?" she asked.

"Well, you've been saying 'Bolton' for the past hour." replied Troy.

"Oh, no I'm fine!" lied Gabriella, putting on a fake smile.

Come on Gabriella, put yourself together, she thought. Okay, I'll just go to sleep, and I'll be fine in the morning.

The next morning, Gabriella woke up to the sound of a frying pan.

"Oh no, Sharpay's here…and she's cooking!" mumbled Gabriella.

Gabriella was preparing herself for another serving of 'vanilla cream' and saw Taylor frying bacon in the kitchen.

"Taylor! Thank God, I thought you were Sharpay!" shrieked Gabriella, hugging her best friend.

"She finally left, huh?" asked Taylor. She had heard about the whole fiasco.

"Yes, it's amazing!" cheered Gabriella.

"Hey Gabs, are you okay?" asked Taylor.

"Yeah…" responded Gabriella. "Why?"

"Well, you kept saying 'Bolton' in your sleep." explained Taylor.

"Oh, that's nothing!" cried Gabriella.

"Really…or is something on your mind?" asked a suspicious Taylor.

"Tay, nothing is on my mind!" protested Gabriella.

"You're thinking about becoming a Bolton!" alleged Taylor.

"Why would you think that?" asked Gabriella.

Taylor shot a look at her best friend.

"Alright, alright! I am, okay! Just stop with the glare!" pleaded Gabriella, shielding her eyes from Taylor's look.

"Aha, so you are!" Taylor snickered.

"Taylor, it's not like I can just go up to him and say 'Hey, can we get married now?'" explained Gabriella.

"Come on Gabby, just do it." encouraged Taylor.

"Taylor, I can't do that!" Gabriella winced.

"You two have been engaged for a year and a half," said Taylor.

"So? We didn't really plan anything, we just sort of…did it." replied Gabriella.

"So you two just…got engaged?" asked Taylor.

"Basically," said Gabriella.

"Gabriella, you're my best friend. And I'm here for you. So let me tell you this, when the time is right, it'll happen." soothed Taylor.

Gabriella chuckled, "So this is why I keep you around!"

And with that, the two gal pals hugged.

Troy was left alone with the triplets because Gabriella and Taylor decided to have some 'girl time.'

Troy was feeding a bottle to Michelle when there was a knock on the door.

"Please don't be Sharpay," muttered Troy. He opened the door to find Chad standing on the doorstep.

"Chad, thank God! I thought it was going to be Sharpay!" rejoiced Troy.

"Excuse me?" asked Chad.

"Never mind that, just come in." said Troy.

"So, how are things going?" asked Chad.

"Pretty good, since the babies are older, they don't cry as much at night." explained Troy.

"That's good, so how are things between you and Gabriella?" asked Chad.

"Good," answered Troy, placing Michelle in a playpen.

"Good? Just good?" asked Chad.

"What do you mean?" asked Troy.

"Come on man, you guys are way more than 'good.'" said Chad.

"Your point?" asked Troy, getting annoyed.

"Do you have any wedding plans?" asked Chad.

"Nope," replied Troy.

"No wedding plans? When will you guys get married?" questioned Chad.

"I don't know…later?" replied Troy.

"I can't wait for a Gabriella Bolton," joked Chad.

"Chad, where is this going?" asked Troy.

"Why don't you guys set a date?" Chad suggested.

"Chad, I don't think she's ready." said Troy.

"Are you?" asked Chad.

No answer.

"Troy?" asked Chad, raising an eyebrow.

"What?" questioned Troy.

"Are you ready?" Chad asked again.

"Maybe," confessed Troy.

"So you are?" asked Chad.

"It's just…I don't think she's ready." explained Troy.

"Trust me dude, she's ready." said Chad.

"What makes you think that?" Troy asked.

"Duh man, she had your kids for you!" screeched Chad.

Troy sighed, "Chad, this is something you can't rush, you really need to think about it before you do it."

"Troy, what is your heart saying?" asked Chad.

"You sound like a stupid love song!" cried Troy.

"I'm serious, what is your heart telling you to do?" Chad asked.

"My heart is saying…" Troy stopped mid-sentence.

"Do you know what to do?" asked Chad.

"I know what to do…" replied Troy.
