Gabriella rolled over in bed and sighed, content. It was Saturday and that entitled her to sleep in as long as she wanted with no interruptions. She cracked her eyes open a bit and smiled when she saw Troy beside her. He shifted in his sleep, as if he could feel her staring at him, and rolled over so his back was to her. She rolled her eyes and then closed her eyes, happy to lie there for the whole day if she were allowed.

RRRRRING! She jumped and sat straight up in bed as she heard her cell phone ring. RRRRRING! She groaned and picked it up, looking at the caller ID.

"Taylor, why are you calling so early?" she groaned when she answered.

"Early? Girl it's 9:30, what do you call early?"

"Before 10:00." Gabriella retorted, her happy mood destroyed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll call back later ok?" Taylor apologized, her voice sarcastic. Gabriella sighed.

"Sorry Tay, I guess I'm just grumpy."

"Aren't we all?" Taylor replied. "So how was your mother-daughter movie night?" Gabriela grinned and pulled the covers tighter around her.

"Great, we watched three movies and made Troy panic, so I call the night a success." Gabriella replied.

"You made Troy panic? Gabs, what did you do?" Gabriella laughed and explained how Troy had come home to find the two of them crying on the couch. Taylor laughed for a few seconds and then Gabriella tensed when she heard her friend moan. "Gabriella I'll be right back." Taylor said, her voice tight. As Gabriella waited for her friend to come back she slid out of bed and walked over to the mirror. Looking at her hair she grinned and patted it down with her free hand. Just then Taylor came back and her concern returned, hearing her friend panting.

"Tay? What's wrong?"

"Just the baby acting up is all." She replied. Gabriella sighed.

"How's it coming along?"

"Good. I'm going in for my first utrasound in a few days."

"Oh that's great Tay!" Gabriella exclaimed, happy for her friend. "Do you have any names picked out yet?"

"Well Chad really likes the name Jeffery if it's a boy. And I like the name Jaden if it's a girl." Taylor replied.

"Oh they're both great names." Gabriella said, honestly. "Practical and stylish" Taylor laughed.

"Okay, I wasn't thinking about that, but I'll go with it. So where's Troy at right now?" Gabriella smiled and glanced at Troy in the mirror.

"In bed, sound asleep, where's Chad?"

"Out getting me breakfast."

"Nice going Taylor, isn't thay guys are for?"

"You know it." The two of them laughed and then Gabriella heard her mother call for her.

"Oh I'd better go. Mom wants me. See you later on."

"Bye Gabs." Gabriella hung up the phone and journeyed down the hall to see her mother sitting in the living room with a book next to her.

"Hi mom, did you need me?" she asked, sitting down beside the older woman. Maria turned to her daughter and smiled.

"No, I was just wondering if you were up, is all."

"Yeah I was talking to Taylor for a bit. So when does you flight leave?"

"3:00."

"I'm going to miss you mom." Gabriella admitted, forcing a smile. "It was great having you here and I know it helped me a lot."

"I'm going to miss you too Bella. Believe me, I love being here and I love seeing you." It was silent for a bit as the two women looked at each other and then they decided to make breakfast together. Once they layed the feast on the table Gabriella giggled.

"Troy's going to be surprised."

"Where is he?"

"Probably still asleep, I'll go and get him." She hurried down the hall and into the bedroom where Troy lay, snoring away. She smiled and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. "Wakey wakey!" she whispered. Troy moaned and rolled over. Gabriella sighed and went over to the other side, crawling onto the bed beside him. "Come on Troy, I've got a surprise for you." She tried again.

"Five more minutes." Troy muttered and waved a hand in her direction. Gabriella giggled and leaned in close.

"Please Troy? Wake up?" she asked in a hushed voice. Troy opened his eyes a crack and kissed the tip of her nose.

"No. I'm sleeping. Go away." He muttered, closing his eyes again. Gabriella rolled her eyes and got up.

"Fine have it your way." She said, stomping out of the room. Her mom seemed surprised to see her back without Troy when Gabriella came into the kitchen.

"He wouldn't wake up?" Maria guessed. Gabriella sighed and grabbed a cup from the cupboard.

"Oh he's going to wake up." She said, determined as she filled the glass with ice old water, before walking back to the bedroom. She went over to where he was snoring away again and promptly poured the water over his face. His eyes shot open and he sat up with a yell. "Good morning Wildcat." She said sweetly, putting the empty cup on the bedside table. He turned his eyes to her and she saw the anger on his face, but his eyes still twinkled.

"Gabriella, that was not funny." He said, trying not to smile. She rolled her eyes and sat down beside him.

"Oh I'm sorry superstar, but you wouldn't wake up and you left we with no choice." She retorted and then jumped as he grabbed her around the waist, ticklng her. She laughed and then fought him off with a pillow. He gave up and set her back down on the bed.

"Fine. Now since I'm awake what was the surprise?" he asked. She grinned and stood up. He crawled out of bed too and followed her down the hall. Once he got to the kitchen his jaw dropped as he looked at the amount of food on the table. Maria laughed and sat down on one of the chairs.

"Troy, close you mouth." Gabriella mumbled with a giggle, sitting down beside her mother. Troy shut his mouth abruptly and then sat down on the remaining chair. After breakfast Troy and Gabriella helped Maria pack the rest of her belongings and then they all sat down to have a snack. Just as they were finishing the phone rang and Troy hurried to answer it.

"So Gabi, has Troy hinted at asking you yet?" Maria asked. Gabriella looked at her mother, shocked.

"Mom! Why does everybody keep asking me that? Yes he's hinted, but no he hasn't asked me yet." Her mother laughed at Gabriella's expression.

"I'm just wondering dear. Well it's good that he's at least hinted. That's a start!" her mother replied. Gabriella smiled and nodded.

"Besides I'm hapy with him even if it takes him the rest of our lives to propose. I love him and I know he loves me too. I trust that he'll ask when the time is right." Gabriella admitted truthfully. Maria nodded and smiled at her daughter.

"I'm glad you're with him and nobody else."

"Me too mom." Gabriella answered as they began to clean up.

Later on that day the three of them were standing in the airport to see Maria off. Gabriella hugged her mother one last time.

"I'm going to miss you so much mom!" she cried. Maria hugged Gabriella back.

"Me too Bella." She sighed and then dragged Troy into a hug too. "You take care of her for me okay?"

"It'd be my pleasure." Troy promised, hugging the older woman. She turned to go and Gabriella smiled at her mother.

"Have a good trip mom." She said waving. Her mother nodded and waved to the couple. Gabriella watched until she could no longer see Maria anymore and then turned to Troy. He put an arm around her waist and the two of the walked out to the car.

"About that date I promised you." He started. Gabriella looked up at him.

"Yes?"

"Is it okay if I take you somewhere else besides a movie?"

"As long as I'm with you."

"Okay we'll go tonight." He promised.

"It's a date." Gabriella replied with a smile.

"Guess where I'm taking you?"

"Where?" she asked, curious.

"My secret hiding place." He said, winking at her.

AN: So there you go. Getting close to the best part EVER. But don't worry I'll take a nice LONG time to update. No I'm kidding. I'll try to hurry! R&R!
