"Chad, that's never going to work." Gabriella said for the second time as Chad continued to try and stuff countless fries into his mouth.
"Myesh ith isth." He said, thickly. Gabriella made a face and looked away.
"I have no idea what you just said Chad." She responded and then sighed with relief as Taylor come back from the bathroom, her face pale, but smiling. "Tay, make you husband stop acting like a 5 year old." She pleaded. Taylor sighed and rolled her eyes as she saw what Chad was attempting to do.
"I've tried countless times. He's been like that since he was five." Taylor retorted with an amused smile. Chad managed to swallow the mouthful of fries with diffuculty and grinned.
"Awsome a new record! 25 fries! By the way Gabster I said yes it will." He crowed. Gabriella rolled her eyes again and coninued to eat her burger. Her, Troy, Taylor and Chad were at Benny's Burgers the next day and Gabriella and Troy were getting around to telling their two best friends about their announcment but Chad hadn't given them a chance. So far he had squirted Troy with ketchup and mustard and now he was trying to see how many fries he could fit in his mouth at one time. Gabriella turned to her friend and smiled as Taylor took tiny sips of apple juice.
"How are you feeling?" she mumbled. Taylor gave a small smile.
"Alright, I get sick a lot. But a least we know the baby's healthy." She replied.
"Yeah, that is definitly worth it, if you ask me." Gabriella said, grinning at her friend. Just then Troy plopped back down in the chair beside her and sighed. Gabriella looked over at him to see the front of his shirt was drenched with water, but ketchup and mustard free. Chad seemed to notice this too because he went to grab the bottles again but Taylor hit him on the back of his head.
"OW!" he cried. "What was that for?"
"For acting like a 5 year old." Taylor retorted, glaring at him. Chad sighed and crossed his arms. Gabriella glanced at Troy again and raised her eyebrow in a silent question. He nodded and she took a deep breath.
"Guys? We have some news that we want to share with you." Gabriella started and then felt her nerves calm a little as Troy gave her hand a squeeze under the table. Taylor looked at her best friend intently whereas Chad gave a little smile and then went back to sulking. "We just wanted to let you know that w-"
"Yo guys!" a voice interrupted. The four of them looked up to see Jason standing over them with a huge grin on his face. Gabriella smiled and gave a wave although inside she was angry. 'We're never going to get to tell them at this rate!' she thought. Trot squeezed her hand again and she leaned against him as Jason dragged up two chairs: one for him and one for Kelsei. Gabriella waved again to Kelsei as she sat down beside Jason and then diverted her gaze to the floor. Troy put and arm around her waist and gave her a one-armed hug knowing she was upset. Gabriella sat up staighter and sighed, as she finished her lunch. Taylor goraned from beside her and Gabriella patted her friend on the arm as Taylor rubbed her stomach. Taylor's groaning seemed to wake Chad up from his dream and he looked at her worridly.
"You feeling alright Taylor?" he asked quietly. She grimaced.
"I don't feel so good." She moaned. Chad jumped up and helped her stand up.
"I'm going to take you home." He decided and before she could protest he led her away to the car. Taylor gave a small waved to the others but allowed Chad to help her to the car. It was silent for a minute as the four of them watched the couple walk off and then they all sighed in unison. Looking at each other they all started laughing and Gabriella felt better instantly. While Jason and Kelsei ordered food Gabriella leaned over to Troy.
"Do you want me to tell them or do you want to tell Tay and Chad first?" she whispered.
"Chad and Taylor. But wait until later on." He whispered back. She nodded in understanding and then got lost in thogut while the lunch continued.
An hour later Gabriella sat beside Taylor on the couch while Taylor sipped on some gingerale. Chad sat across the way with Troy but looked anxiously at his wife from time to time. Taylor turned to Gabriella presently and smiled.
"So what were you trying to tell us earlier on today?" she asked. Gabriella had to think for a minute before she realized what her friend was talking about. Gabriella took a deep breath and smiled.
"Tay, Chad I just wanted to tell you that Troy and I a-are getting married." She stammered in a big rush. Taylor squealed and hugged her friend tightly.
"No way no way no way!!" she squealed. Gabriella laughed and hugged Taylor back. Looking over at Troy she saw that Chad was clapping him on the back and they were saying something. "Are you excited?" Taylor asked when she had gotten over her squeals.
"Duh!" Gabriella cried, unable to hold back from squealing with Taylor. "I'm ecstatic!" The girls kept on squealing until Troy dragged Gabriella off the couch to go home. Taylor gave her one last hug at the door and then they got in the car and drove home. Once in the car , Troy smiled and grasped her hand with one hand as he drove with the other. They didn't say anything until they got home however but once they got inside Gabriella squealed again and hugged Troy tightly.
"I'm so excited!" Troy laughed and picked her up, carrying her up the stairs and into the living room area where he plopped her on the couch. She giggled and blushed a little. Troy winked and then sat down beside her.
"So. Do you want to have a big wedding or a small wedding?" he asked. Gabriella smiled.
"Small. You know I don't do good in crowds."
"I agree, besides I only want friends and family there."
"Same here." She said. Troy nodded and then Gabriella leaned into him, resting her head in his shoulder. "Troy I'm worried." He put his arms around her waist.
"What about?" he asked.
"I'm scared that something is going to happen to you and I'm going to be left all by myself." She admitted and then blushed. Troy sighed and planted a kiss in her hair.
"Well first of all, nothing's going to happen to me-"
"But how do you know?!" Gabriella interrupted.
"I don't but you need to trust me. Also if something did happen to me than I'll always find a way back to you." He answered sincerely. Gabriella locked eyes with him.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
