Isabella was now seven and getting ready for her first sleepover. Troy watched as Gabriella helped pack her bag to make sure she had everything she needed and that she didn't forget anything. He knew that Gabriella was somewhat nervous about Isabella's sleepover since their daughter had rarely spent a night away from home, Troy could count on one hand how many. He walked into the room and placed his hand on Gabriella's shoulder before turning his attention to their daughter. "Hey Angel, are you ready for your sleepover at Molly's house."

"Yes Daddy, Mommy helped me pack my bag." She said excitedly. "Molly's mom is gonna take us to the park."

Troy smiled down at Isabella. "That's good Bella, should we get going to Molly's house then?"

Isabella nodded and they made their way down to the car and drove to Molly's house. When they got to the house, they were greeted immediately by Molly and smiled as the two girls hugged. The two girls talked excitedly until Molly's mom came to greet Troy and Gabriella. "Why don't you girls go play while I talk to Bella's parents?" The girls nodded and went to play on the other side of the front yard while their parents talked. "Troy, Gabriella, it's nice of you to let Bella stay over."

"Thank you for having her Michelle, she's been so excited to see Molly." Gabriella responded. She was always weary around Michelle, it wasn't that the lady disliked Gabriella – she was always polite to her – but there was obviously some distaste for their age difference. It was clear that Michelle was somewhat disgraced by the how young Gabriella had Isabella and she obviously assumed that Gabriella slept around during her teen years.

"Does she have any allergies or anything I should know about?"

"No allergies or anything, I made sure that she packed everything she needed for sleepover. What time would you like us to come pick her up?"

"9:00 will be fine."

Gabriella nodded, not really knowing how to respond to Michelle's short statements. "Ok well, you have my number, feel free to call if you need anything or if Bella wants to talk to us." Michelle only nodded in response.

Troy spoke up. "Well it was nice seeing you and thank you for having Bella, maybe next time Molly can come over to ours for a sleepover."

Michelle didn't seem to like that idea. "We'll see."

Troy nodded awkwardly and turned to Gabriella. "Ok well, I guess we'll say goodbye to Bella and then get going huh Baby?" Gabriella nodded in response. "We'll see you tomorrow morning Michelle." When they realised they weren't going to get anything but a nod in response, they walked over to the two girls. "Hey Angel, Mommy and I are gonna get going now, you have fun with Molly ok?"

Isabella ran and hugged Troy. "Ok Daddy, love you."

"I love you too Bella."

Gabriella knelt down to Isabella's level only for the girl to hug her as well. "Have fun Baby Girl, we'll be back to get you tomorrow morning. If you need anything or want to talk to us, you just ask Molly's mom ok? She has my number." Isabella nodded. "Ok Sweet Girl, I love you and have fun."

"Ok Mommy, I love you, bye."

Later that night at about 8:00, Troy and Gabriella were sitting in the living room when her phone rang. "Hello?"

"Hi Mommy."

"Hey Bella are you ok?" Gabriella quickly turned the phone onto loud speaker so Troy could hear as well.

"I'm ok. Molly and I are going to bed soon so I asked Molly's mom if I could say good night."

"Ok Sweet Girl, well Daddy can hear you too, have you been having fun with Molly?"

"Yeah we had fun playing."

They heard Molly in the background calling Bella's name. Troy spoke. "Alright Angel, I think Molly wants you back. I love you, sweet dreams."

"Love you Daddy, good night."

Gabriella took the phone back. "Ok my baby girl, Daddy and I will be there to pick you up in the morning. Sweet dreams Bella, I love you."

"Good night Mommy, I love you."
