"Guess this means you're sorry,

You're standing at my door,

Guess this means you take back,

All you said before,

Like how much you wanted anyone but me,

Said you'd never come back,

But here you are again."

As Gabriella finally made her way to the door of the pharmacy after long fifteen minutes staring blankly at the building, she couldn't help but wonder what to do next with her life. If she was having a baby, Troy's baby, there was no way she could raise a kid alone, she knew how important having a father was to a child, she knew how important it was for her having a father. Gabriella wouldn't, in no way, deprive Troy to have a relationship with their baby if she was pregnant, if she decided she was ready to bring another person to the world, such a dependent and lovable creature. A little her, a little Troy.

She found herself smiling at the thought of having a family of her own, being a mom, with a small baby in her arms, a baby that had Troy's eyes, her hair, her nose and his gorgeous lips. An amazingly cute chubby baby that would fill her life with love and reason. Reason to wake up everyday and to be a better person. Her baby, her precious little bundle of joy.

She breathed deeply through her mouth, nodding her head twice before heading to the women section to find the pregnancy test. She found it quickly, deciding which one would be best to know if she was or was not expecting.

"Gabriella?" she jumped back and turned around to become face-to-face with Mandy, the girl she was always so jealous about.

Behave, she warned to herself, counting till 5 before smiling politely, "Oh… hey, it's Mandy right?"

Mandy laughed in disbelief, as if she knew Gabriella was trying to keep cool even though her body stiffened slightly as she called her name. "Yeah, it's Mandy" she looked down tenderly and Gabriella followed her eyes to Cameron, "That's my son, Cameron. Cam, say hey to Gabriella"

"Hello" he waved and smiled sweetly and Gabriella found herself smiling back, wanting her baby to be as cute as Cameron was. Her baby, it sounded so beautiful even when she was only thinking about it. "He's very cute, congratulations"

"Thank you" Mandy said sincerely.

"His hair is exactly the same color as Troy's" Gabriella complimented, feeling her stomach twist and turn with jealousy. She had to remember her baby wouldn't be Troy's first child even though it was hard.

"Oh… you think?" Mandy giggled, "That makes sense" she scooped her son up in her arms and he rested his face on her should, yawning slightly, "Cameron's dad is Troy's cousin, Jordan. They look a lot like the other"

Gabriella blushed deeply, "I thought Cameron was Troy's son"

"Uh, he's not. Troy and I were always only friends, since we were little, to tell you the truth" she smiled sympathetically, "But let me advise you, never mention Jordan in front of Troy, it's a delicate subject. He'll never forgive himself for introducing me his cousin that abandoned his son when I was pregnant"

She gasped, feeling her pain, "I'm so sorry, Mandy"

"No, it's okay" she hugged Cameron tightly, rubbing his back gently, "It's fine, at least he gave me a present" she smiled and her eyes wandered around the room, stopping when it reached Gabriella's hand, more precisely on the pregnancy test she didn't remember holding to, "Oh God" she gulped, "Are you?"

Gabriella looked down and regretted immediately grabbing the test, "I---I don't know yet" she admitted quietly, "and even if I am, I'm not sure I'd be a good mother"

"Of course you would. Don't get an abortion just because you think you're not ready, believe me, you'll regret it" she kissed the top of her boy's head, maternally, "They are an amazing gift, it doesn't matter the way they were brought into the world" she advised smartly, "Well, I should go. He's hungry and will get grumpy"

"Thank you, Mandy… Seriously"

She winked, "No problem, and good luck"

Now, more than ever, Gabriella felt the urge to know if she was or wasn't pregnant with Troy's baby. If he took care of Cameron like he was his own son, he'd probably be happy to have one of his own. She smiled as she approached the balcony and paid for the test, hurrying to the nearest toilet to proceed in what she knew would be the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

"I'm coming, I'm coming" Troy growled lowly as the doorbell rang and woke him up from his recovery nap, standing up slowly and crawling to the door. His face was getting better by now, it wasn't hard to talk anymore, but he still had a purple eye, the side of his face was still a bit swollen and his lip cut.

But it could have been worse. He knew this was the way his father found to release his anger and he was truthfully happy they found a way to manage the situation, even though it meant he went home covered in blood. It was a manly thing, to fight over something and he knew that, although the way was still full of obstacles, there was a fair chance that maybe he'd get his father's trust back and hopefully, their relationship as father and son one day.

Reaching for the doorknob, Troy pulled the door open and his eyes widened as Gabriella stood in front of him, looking devastatingly beautiful wearing a blue t-shirt and dark washed jeans. Her shiny hair was pulled up in a messy bun and her face was lightly flushed, as if she was embarrassed to be looking for him;

Her expression changed from embarrassment to worry though as she observed his cuts and bruises. Gabriella's mouth dropped open and her hands reached for his arms, squeezing it gently. "Oh my God Troy, what the hell happened to you?"

Troy's mouth curled up in a smile at her worried tone of voice, it was great having someone that was preoccupied about you, "It was an accident," he lied, stepping back to offer her his apartment, "Get in"

She nodded, stepping inside quickly, turning around as he closed the door behind him to touch the side of his face, "do you need any help? Do you want me to take you to the doctor?"

He shook his head, "Nope, I'm fine… Seriously"

"You don't look fine" she whined.

"I feel fine" he smirked playfully, sitting down on the couch, "Make yourself comfortable, Ella"

She sat down too, sighing, "I wanted to talk to you, do you have time?"

"Yeah" he nodded his head, "I wasn't expecting you too soon, I hoped you'd come… but I thought it would take longer"

Gabriella smiled and looked down, "Well, here I am"

"Yeah, here you are" he smiled in return and his eyes softened as he studied her face, "You look better"

"I am. I talked to Jack, we're okay"

"Oh…" Troy nodded in understand. "That's great"

Gabriella sat closer to him, grabbing his hands on hers, "I told him I fell in love with you, Troy" she whispered so low that he had to certify himself that he really heard what he thought he heard. "You what?"

"I told Jack I fell in love with you" she repeated, louder this time. "I love you Troy"

Troy's held his breath as the words he wanted so much for her to say escaped her mouth and filled his heart with joy. Being unable to stop his enthusiasm, he cupped her face with his large hands, crashing his lips hungrily onto hers. Gabriella giggled into the kiss, returning it with the most of passion she could. For several minutes, they kissed and hugged, and when they finally pulled away, Troy had an enormous grin on his lips.

"Can you please say it again?"

"I love you" Gabriella smiled, "Sorry it took so long to realize that"

"It doesn't matter" he hugged her and whispered into her hair, "It only matters you're here now, with me… you chose me"

"My heart chose you, Troy" Gabriella corrected him, pecking him on the cheek, "and my body too…" she lifted her shirt up to take it over her head; Troy smiled as his attention was caught by her belly button ring he liked so much and her black lacy bra that modeled so well her nice sculptured breasts.

He leaned on her to kiss her neck, shuddering when he felt her hand on the small of his back underneath the shirt. "Gosh, I love you"

"There's another thing I need to tell you"

Troy pulled away and smiled at her, nodding his head in encouragement. Gabriella grabbed his hands, placing it on the center of her stomach, "Troy… there's a baby growing inside of me"

He looked down at her flat stomach and a pang of adoration and happiness invaded his soul. The woman he was crazy in love was carrying a baby inside of her, his baby. He was going to be a father.

"Wow…" he whispered as his hand began caressing her belly soothingly, "My baby"

"Our baby" Gabriella corrected tenderly, running her hand up his arm and cupping the side of his cheek, where she stroked, "I think that's the way fate is showing us we belong together"

"I love you" he embraced her tightly again, kissing the side of her head, "thanks"

"No" she shook her head slowly, "Thank you for bringing me back to life. Thanks for making me so happy. I didn't think I would be so content to be here with you" she placed one hand on top of his that was still on her stomach and laced their fingers, "With our baby."

Troy raised their twined hands to kiss her knuckles, "Stay with me"

"If you have me" she giggled lightly, looking down and corrected herself, "If you have us…"

"Forever"

She touched her forehead to his shoulder, closing her eyes as his thumbs caressed gently patters on her stomach, feeling happier than she ever felt. Gabriella was finally in peace, finally in the arms she belonged. She felt like there were no missing pieces to her puzzle anymore and her heart was complete, at last.

"Forever's fine with me"

"'Cause we belong together now,

Forever united somehow,

You got a piece of me,

And honestly,

My life would suck without you."
