Troy was silently snoring on Gabriella's soft shoulder. Gabriella had literally dragged Troy from the sofa bed and pulled him onto her bed. She was awake, staring at the neon red digits of her fancy radio alarm clock. She couldn't sleep with Troy's head over her shoulder. She gently pushed his head to the side and crept out of bed.

"Mommy, you awake?" Alexis asked as she clutched on to her teddy bear, Snuggles. Snuggles was actually a gift Troy had given to Gabriella before she moved.

"Honey, what are you doing up?" questioned Gabriella, picking up her tiny daughter.

"I hungry," Alexis declared, patting her tummy.

"Well, we can't have that now, can we? Let's get you some food," Gabriella set Alexis on the counter and pulled out a box of Cream of Wheat.

"Where Daddy?" asked Alexis.

"Daddy's sleeping," she explained. "Don't wake him, okay?"

Alexis nodded. When Gabriella wasn't looking, she skipped into the bedroom and jumped on to the bed. "Wake up!" she chanted as she was jumping up and down.

Troy was startled and rolled off the bed. He gained his strength again and plopped back on to the bed. "Why are you awake?" he asked, pulling Alexis on to his lap.

"Because Mommy make me breakfast." she explained.

"Oh," muttered Troy. His eyes landed on Snuggles, who seemed oddly familiar. "Who's that?" he asked.

"This Snuggles!" Alexis squeaked, showing off her bear. "Mommy said someone very special gave it to her. Then she give to me because I very special to her."

Troy smiled, "Is that right?"

"Yes!" replied Alexis, as she continued bouncing on the bed. After a minute, she left and toddled over to the kitchen. Troy eyes followed her until she was out of sight. He chuckled softly and went back to sleeping.

"Mommy?" asked Alexis.

"Yes honey?" Gabriella asked, placing Alexis's breakfast on the table.

"Do you love Daddy more than Walter?"

Gabriella closed her eyes and breathed deeply, "I don't know honey. I don't know,"

"You kissed him?!" shrieked Taylor.

"Shh, Taylor, Troy's still sleeping!" warned Gabriella.

"But still, you kissed him?!" cried Taylor.

"Yes, and now I'm off to a counselor to work things out." she explained.

"What the heck? A counselor?" asked Taylor.

"Yeah, it's called Rough Relationships. 'A counseling office for relationships stuck on the rocky road of life.'" Gabriella informed. "I'm bringing Alexis with me, I'll see you later." Gabriella grabbed her daughter and hurried out the door.

"Gabriella Montez?" a receptionist at a fancy desk asked.

"That's me," replied Gabriella, standing up.

"Dr. Collins is ready for you, please go down this hall. Her room is the fifth door to the left." the receptionist informed her.

Gabriella nodded and held Alexis's hand. "Um, Dr. Collins?" she asked as she entered the room.

"Ah, you must be…Gabriella. It's nice to meet you. Now tell me, what is your problem?" the doctor asked.

"Well, I've been with my boyfriend for about a year now." explained Gabriella.

"Mm-hm," said Dr. Collins as she was writing on her clipboard.

"But now, my daughter's father, who I never really broke up with, is back in my life. And now I guess my feelings for him are still here."

"Oh, that's a tough one." Dr. Collins muttered. "I'm going to have you take a test. And once we get your results, we can start from there." the doctor handed Gabriella a twenty-question exam with questions such as:

Why do you love this person?

Why do you love that person?

After scanning Gabriella's results, Dr. Collins frowned. "Gabriella, you seem to be tied with Walter and Troy."

"Really? It's that bad?" asked Gabriella.

The doctor nodded, "I'll give you this tie breaker."

Gabriella took the slip of paper and read it slowly. It read:

Man #1

What I love MOST about being with him

What I hate MOST about being with him

Man #2

What I love MOST about being with him

What I hate MOST about being him

Gabriella sighed and picked up a pencil. "What do I love most about being with Walter? His sweet and sensitive personality." she said as she wrote on the slip of paper. "What I hate most? His aggressive temper," She quickly jotted through Walter's slip and moved on to Troy's. For the first question, she put His sweeter and more sensitive personality.

"What do I hate most about being with him?" Gabriella bit her lip and tapped the pencil on the table top. She glanced at Alexis, who was humming to herself. She seemed to be much happier since she met Troy. Her eyes returned to her paper. "What do I hate most?" she asked herself, again. After ten minutes of thinking, Gabriella scribbled down her answer. She re-read her answer to make sure that was how she really felt. I hate that I love him too much, and I'm too afraid to show how I feel.

After reviewing the results, Dr. Collins cleared her throat. "Well, it's obvious who you're more attracted to," she announced. "It looks like Troy is our winner,"

Gabriella smiled. She had that funny feeling in her stomach again. The feeling she first experienced when she first met Troy. "Wow," she mumbled.

"Now Gabriella, I don't want you to choose Troy over Walter just because he's the father of your child. I want you to choose him because your heart tells you to." explained the doctor. "Is he what your heart really wants?"

Gabriella closed her eyes and sighed, "I'm sure of it."

"She kissed you?!" Chad asked in shock. "Gabriella kissed you?"

"Yes," answered Troy. "I'm not sure if she really meant it, though."

"Of course she meant it!" exclaimed Chad. "Why wouldn't she mean it?'

"Because," said Troy, "She stopped loving me two years ago."

"Come on, dude. She never stopped loving you. She just got distracted by that Walter guy." Chad explained.

"Why are you trying to defend her? Last week you were calling her a whore!" cried Troy. Sometimes, Chad could have a very split personality.

"Yeah, that was before I knew why she stopped calling. I can see she really loves you." replied Chad. "You still love her, right?"

Troy nodded, "I've loved her all this time. She was all I could think about for the last two years."

"Good," said Chad. "Because we all know true love never dies."

"Uh…Troy?" Gabriella asked nervously as she opened the door to the apartment.

"Hi," he responded, just as scared.

"Hey," she replied sheepishly.

"Where's Alexis?" asked Troy as he scanned the room for her.

Gabriella blushed, "She's at my mom's house. It's just you and me right now."

"Oh," Troy said apprehensively.

Gabriella nodded, "Yep, just you and me." There was a long, awkward silence between the two. All that could be heard was their soft breathing and the whistling of the wind. Gabriella sighed, "Listen Troy, I know I'm with Walter, but…"

"Yeah?" Troy asked patiently.

"What I'm saying is, even though I'm with Walter, I…still…" Gabriella gulped and closed her eyes, "…love you."

Troy bit his lip, "Um, wow. I've been meaning to tell you something too. I…" he paused and looked at his feet.

"You what?" Gabriella inquired.

"I…love…you…too." He belted out a sigh of relief.

"Really?" asked Gabriella. "I mean, I didn't know what I was thinking last night…something came over me. I thought you were mad at me because things were moving along pretty fast!" she said quickly.

"Really? Me too! At most points, I felt like strangling Walter, especially after you're date with him a couple days ago! I mean, I've loved you all this time and I thought you didn't—" Troy was cut off by another kiss from Gabriella. "I guess true love never dies," he said.

Gabriella chuckled, "Never." she said as she pulled him in. It felt so good to be in his arms again.
