"Mommy!" Kayla squealed, running into Gabriella's arms.

Gabriella laughed and picked her up. "Hey sweetie. Did you have fun?" she asked.

Kayla nodded and stuck her strawberry flavored lollipop back in her mouth.

"Em, was she too much trouble?" Gabriella asked.

Emma shook her head. "She was awesome. She just kept crying for you and her Daddy. Speaking of Daddy's where is the Daddy?" the 23 year-old asked.

Gabriella smiled weakly. "He had to go visit his parent's." she lied. She didn't want to say the real reason because she'd feel stupid and embarrassed.

"Oh, I see." Emma nodded. "Well, it was a pleasure having her here. She can come back anytime she wants." she smiled.

Gabriella arched a brow. "Gr, trying to get me out so soon. What guy's coming over today?" she laughed.

"His name is Jacob, he's 25 and he has the most amazing green eyes!" Emma said quickly. "Now not to be a bitch 'cause I love you guys, but you must go."

Gabriella laughed. "Alright, see ya." she waved walking out the door.

"Mommy, I swee Daddy." Kayla said, while Gabriella strapped her into her carseat.

Gabriella nodded. "Were gonna go see him now at the house, but first Mommy has to go to the store. Ok?"

"Ok!"

"Troy, I was thinking that when we go back to California together, we should move in together. Afterall, my roommate is moving out as we speak." Candice said, while the two ate at Olive Garden.

Troy gave her an astonished look. "I've only known for you like a week!"

"I know, trust me and I feel like that's a short time also, but I feel like we have such a strong connection. And I..I think I'm falling in love with you." she confessed, smiling.

His mouth dropped and so did his breadstick. What the hell? he thought.

"Ok, I know it's a little soon, but I really do. We've been through so much together and I feel like I can always trust you." she said, blushing.

"I um gotta go. I'm supposed to go uh feed the homeless." he lied. "I'll see ya later." He practically ran out of the restaurant, leaving her confused.

-----

"And then you roll it and you pat it..." Gabriella sang to Kayla, while the two sat on their bed. The gang had gone out to have their "evening" drinks. Gabriella would've liked to go, but she was perfectly content staying with Kayla. "Bake it in the over for Kayla!" she finished.

Kayla giggled and clapped her hands.

"You're so cute!" Gabriella cheered, pinching the little girl's cheeks and kissing her nose.

The little girl who a jean skirt, white leggings and a UCLA basketball jersey and her hair was left down with a white headband that had a bow on it. "Food." she cheered, jumping on the bed.

"Oh, Mommy's hungry too, let's go." Gabriella said, setting the girl on her hip. She set the little girl on the counter once they reached the kitchen. "Hm, let's see that there is." she said, kneeling down.

Troy smiled when he saw his daughter sitting on the counter. He walked over and sat next to her, shushing her quickly so that Gabriella wouldn't see or hear him.

Kayla nodded and stiffled a giggle.

"Alrighty, we can either have ice cream or ahhh!" Gabriella screamed, when she noticed Troy.

Troy feel back onto the counter and began to laugh hysterically. "Oh, man." he laughed.

She rolled her eyes and grabbed two spoon's out of the cabinet.

"Hm, Montez I'll take some of that ahhh!" he smirked.

She glared at him and helped Kayla off the counter. "Sweetie, go pick a movie for us to watch."

Kayla nodded and ran to the living room.

"What are you doing here?" Gabriella asked.

"Uh, I live here." he smiled.

"No shit sherlock, I know that. I mean what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be off with that skank?" she asked, taking a bite of the ice cream.

He rolled his eyes. "Gabs, about earlier I just really didn't want to hear Candice bitch and whine."

"Hm, so you'd rather hear me bitch and whine all day?" she asked.

He shrugged. "Maybe."

She rolled her eyes and began to walk into the living room.

He grabbed her arm and sighed. "How about I take you and Kayla out to eat. My treat?"

She stared at him questionably. "Kayla, go get your shoes." she called out. "I'm ordering everything off the menu." she said, walking up the stairs.

He smirked. "Can't wait, Montez."

"I'll take a strawberry daiquiri, a side of water, an appetizer of cheese sticks and nacho's, for my dinner I will have the 6 ounce New York steak, turn the side of mashpoatato's into fries, um is that it?"

Troy rolled his eyes as Gabriella blabbered on and on to the waitress. He knew she was doing it on purpose. "You know what? She's done. I'll take a spicy chicken salad with honey mustard on the side and a Coke. She'll take the kids chicken nuggets and a small Sprite." he smiled handing the waitress their menu's.

"OK, I'll get those right in." the waitress smiled, walking away.

Gabriella pretended to be shocked. "Bolton, I wasn't done ordering. When I come to Applebee's I like to order alot." she giggled.

Troy rolled his eyes and began to draw on the napkin with one of Kayla's crayon's.

"So, to strike up a conversation. You excited to go back to California?" Gabriella asked.

He shrugged. "I guess so. I just don't want to go back to school." he said, coloring in his monster.

"Aw, that sucks." she sighed.

He laughed at her carelessness. He glanced up at her. She looked beautiful to him, wearing a pink v-neck sweater, she had minimal make-up on and her hair was left down straight.

"Now's not a good time to check people out Bolton." she laughed.

He blushed madly and looked away.

"It's ok though. You don't look so bad either. I like your hair when you it looks like you just got out of bed." she smiled.

He smiled back at her and dipped his finger into her daiquiri.

"I have a headache." Kelsi whined as they all drove back to the house.

"I told you to take tequila shots." Sharpay said.

"Whatever."

"Ok, now we're here. You guy's have to remember to be quiet. It's 1a.m." Ryan said, stepping out of the car.

"Dang, so much for "evening" drinks." Chad said, shaking his head.

Ryan shushed him and opened the door to the house.

"Who's awake?" Zeke whispered as the living room TV was on.

They walked out of the parlor and to the living room to see Troy and Gabriella sleeping peacefully. Her body was turned to him while he wrapped an arms around her and rested his head above her's. Their legs were tangled together.

Taylor pinched Sharpay when she heard the blonde let out a small squeal.

"Let me go get my camera." Kelsi said, running up the stairs.

"They're so cute." Taylor cooed.

"Ok, I got it." Kelsi said, standing in front of everyone. She took atleast 10 pictures.

"Oh, you have to give me a copy." Sharpay said, taking the camera out of her hands.

They all backed up when Gabriella stirred.

Sharpay let out a breath as the brunette only snuggled in closer to Troy. "I don't want to see them be apart. They love each other. Why can't they admit it?" she asked.

Zeke wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Trust me Shar, tomorrow is gonna be eventful." he sighed guiding her upstairs.

-----

Troy moaned as he woke up from the sun hitting him in the eye. He looked down confused to see Gabriella sleeping peacefully.
He smiled and layed his head back down as he quickly thought memory of the two last night.

Flashback

"Why do you watch this every night?" he asked as the two watched The Notebook.

She shrugged. "I don't know. It's just their chemistry, is so sweet and you have to admit, don't you ever imagine yourself having love like that?" she asked.

He smiled. "I already have." he said.

She smiled and blushed. "Aw, this is my favorite part!" she said, turning the volume up.

In the movie

"Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it's too late." Allie yelled over the thundering rain.

"I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year." Noah said.

"You wrote me?" she asked.

"Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over." he said, kissing her passionately.

End movie part

Gabriella clutched her heart and fell back onto Troy's chest. "God, I love this movie."

He rolled his eyes. "It's just fantastic." he said, sarcastically.

She hit him on his strong chest softly. "You're such an ass." she muttered.

"Oh, let's not be mean now Montez."

She laughed and snuggled into him.

End Of Flashback

Troy smiled and ran a hand through her soft hair. Tomorrow he would have to leave. Leave her and Kayla. He sighed and closed his eyes back shut.
