A half asleep and very tired Troy rolled over to find the other half of the room lit up and the clock reading 3:27. He rubbed his eyes and saw that his wife was wide-awake and staring at him.

"Why are you awake?" he mumbled and rubbed his eyes once again, to get them adjusted to the light.

"Someone's hungry." Gabriella smiled as she rubbed her hand across her now six-month pregnant stomach.

"Oh you have got to be kidding me." He groaned.

"Please Troy? Just this one time? I promise this is it for the night." Gabriella asked with a little pout on her face and the moved her hand from her stomach and linked fingers with him.

"Fine, fine. But this is it though." He said as a small smile crept on to his face. "Now what will we be having tonight?" he said as he pulled himself to the edge of the bed and slowly got up.

"Well we could really go for some ice cream, oh and one of those brownies that Zeke and Sharpay sent over. Oh and you know what sounds really good a huge club sandwich with everything on it and bring some…" Gabriella said as she continued listing off more and more things.

"Why don't I just bring the whole refrigerator up here?" Troy interrupted.

"Do you think it would fit through the door?" Gabriella asked in all seriousness.

"Gabby." Troy said and Gabriella giggled.

"Fine, then just bring me the brownie and the sandwich." She said as she sat up and watched him leave. "Oh and Troy," she said after he had already left.

"Yes Gabby?" he sighed a bit as he rested against the door frame.

"Thank you." She smiled sweetly.

"You're welcome." He said and smiled back before he finally made his way down stairs.

He shuffled across the cold tile floor of his kitchen and pulled open the refrigerator door. He grabbed everything he needed to make his wife's huge way past midnight snack. He couldn't help but smile a little as he put her sandwich together. Sure it was 3:30 in the morning and he would be getting up for work in three hours, but knowing that Gabriella and the baby would be happy was all he needed to keep going. He did wish though that her crazy nighttime cravings would strike a bit earlier. Nonetheless he finally got her food all made and managed to get upstairs without dropping anything.

"Okay, your wonderful husband has arrived with the late night snack you've requested, and he even threw in an extra brownie just in case you two weren't satisfied enough." Troy said as he carried the tray of food into the bedroom, but the sight in front of him caused him to almost drop everything.

Gabriella was tucked tight under the covers and sound asleep. Troy couldn't believe that no longer than five minutes ago she was wide awake and starving, and now she was in a deep sleep. He just rolled his eyes and smiled as he set her food on the nightstand next to her, knowing she'd want it sometime or another.

"I'm sure you'll be awake in a little while anyway." He whispered as he kissed her forehead and then made his way back to his side of the bed.

It only took him a few minutes to get comfortable again, and right before he fell asleep he felt Gabriella sit up and start in on her feast. She gently moved over and whispered in his ear, "I love you." That was all troy needed to hear and he finally fell back asleep.

The next morning Gabriella woke up to not only an empty bed but an empty house as well. She sighed a bit as she made herself get up and go downstairs. She hated that Troy had to work. She was all alone in a big empty house for hours upon hours and it was taking a toll on her. She needed someone to talk to, so each day she would choose a friend to bother and today it would be the only other person besides Troy who could get her laughing. The one and only Ryan Evans. After a huge breakfast and a shower Gabriella got herself comfy on the couch and dialed her cell phone. A very familiar voice answered and immediately brought a smile to her face.

"Hello?"

"Ryan, guess who's bored?" Gabriella giggled into her phone.

"Hmm I don't know, you?" he laughed a bit too.

"Good guess! How did you know?"

"Well lets see for the past 3 weeks I've gotten a call from you, and they all start with, guess who's bored? It's getting pretty obvious Gabs."

"Well I'm sorry but there is like nothing to do in this house. And I called everyone else so far this week so now it's your turn." She smiled.

"Oh lucky me." He said sarcastically and they both laughed.

"Oh shut up." Gabriella giggled. "Now tell me everything you've done today and don't you dare leave one thing out."

"Wow you really are bored huh?" Ryan said which cause Gabriella to let out a nice long sigh.

"Yes, yes I am completely bored to death. And all I ask is for a little company during the day, but no, everyone is too busy with their stupid jobs to talk to me. So they just blow me off and tell me they'll talk to me later. Its unfair you that? I called you today hoping you'd talk to me for a few minutes but so far I've got nothing. So I will give you two more minutes to entertain me and if you don't I will hang up this phone and not call you again until at least tomorrow." Gabriella screeched all in one breath.

"I'm sorry Gabs did you say something?" Ryan laughed a bit.

"Oh you are so mean!!" Gabriella giggled a bit.

"I'm sorry Gabs but I had to do it. But I really do have to get back to work."

"Fine, fine you're just lucky Troy's going on his lunch break in a half hour and I can talk to him then."

"Definitely lucky me." Ryan mumbled under his breath.

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing, I'll talk to you later Gabby."

"Bye Ryan." She said as they both hung up. That left Gabriella to entertain herself for the rest of the day, and that was a lot harder than anyone would think.

---Troyella---

"Gabby babe. I'm home." Troy said as he shut the front door behind him and made his way into the living room. He smiled when he found Gabriella fast asleep on the couch and the phone in her hand. He gently picked her up and headed upstairs.

"Hey you're home." She mumbled as she woke up a bit.

"Yeah, I sorry I'm so late." He said as he laid her down and pulled the covers over her.

"I missed you." She said, as she quickly got comfortable.

"I missed you too, but I've got tomorrow off, so it's gonna be me and you all day." He replied as he watched her eyes slowly start to shut.

"I think you're forgetting someone." She whispered and set her hand on her stomach. Troy smiled and set his hands on her stomach too.

"Oh no I could never forget this little someone." He said as he rubbed her growing stomach and kissed her before she fell back asleep. He watched her sleep for a minute before going to bed himself. Within a second of him laying down Gabriella wrapped her arm around him and he faintly heard the three words he could never get tired of. I love you.
