Troy walked downstairs when he found Gabriella not in the bed next to him. He was rubbing his eyes making his way into the kitchen. "Brie." he saw her sitting at the table drinking a cup of hot chocolate. "Brie, what's a matter? it's 3 in the morning?" He sat down beside her, putting his hand over hers, "Come to bed."

Gabriella looks at him, "You love me no matter what, right?" Troy nods, "More than anything. are you okay?" Gabriella bit her lip, standing up and going over to the counter, and gripping it tightly, "I..I'm pregnant Troy.." she looked down.

Gabriella didn't get the chance to say anything else, Troy had lifted her up, spinning her around, "Baby, Brie.. that's amazing! A Baby?!"

Gabriella bit her lip, "Your not.. mad?" Troy looked at her, "Why would I be mad?" Gabriella bit her lip, "Because you said you wouldn't have anymore kids with me anymore?" "What?" Troy asked.

Flashback.

Gabriella walked into the bedroom where Troy was watching the game. "Troy.. Andy really needs your help playing basketball outside-" "He's a big boy, he can play by himself." Gabriella looks at him, "I'm sure he'd like to play with his father though-" "Dammit Gabriella! will you shut up? I don't wanna play with him."

He stood up walking by her but she grabbed his arm, "He's your son, You need to spend time with them before they grow up-" "I don't care. they're more your kids then mine! I bet they're not even mine!"

Gabriella looked at him, "How could you say that? they both look exaclty like you!" "Why would I want to have kids with someone as worthless as you! I will never ever get you pregnant again, and if your stupid enough to get pregnant, I'll leave you!" and then he left out the door, and Gabriella began to have tears roll down her cheeks.

End Of Flashback.

Troy stares at her, his lips flopping open and shut; at a loss for words as his brain processes what Gabriella had told him. "I...I said all...that?" she is biting her lip- an action that Troy finds attractive, if she isn't about to cry. "Brie, I'm sorry..."

"It's in the past-" "Don't say it like it's not a big deal. It is." Gabriella looks at him, he cups her face, "I knew that I'd hurt you...but I didn't know how much." She stares into her eyes. He sighs, "Why didn't you leave me? I don't deserve you.."

Gabriella looks at him, "Because like I said before, I love you too much, and because of our boys..I couldn't leave you." Troy looks at her, "Brie..Did..I...Did I ever hit you?" Gabriella bites her lip, "Yes..a few times.."

Troy looked at her, "What? I..no..I.." Gabriella looks at him, "It was my fault thought, You had a bad day and I was just bothering you about it-" "I'm sorry..it's not your fault." Gabriella looks at him, "Anyways, are you hoping for a girl this time or another boy?" Gabriella asked him.

Troy sighs, resting his hand over her now flat belly, "I want whatever you give me." he looks into her eyes, "Brie...I really am sorry.." she covers his lips with her finger; ceasing his talking.

"I love you...and I know you love your son's...and you'll love this baby, but I don't want you to sulk around each time I tell you what you did-" "Brie-" "I mean it...Troy...this baby...it's a sign to look to the future, so let's do that."

Troy nods, "Alright." he rubs her belly, "Brie, I want a girl." Gabriella looks at him, "Really?" he nods, "I got two perfect boys with you, now I want a little girl, a little girl who looks like you, and who I can protect her and be her hero and for her to be a total daddy's girl." Gabriella laughed, "Your silly. but I'm sure your daughter will love you." Troy nods, "She better."

"Troy I don't understand why you want to know-" Chad started but Troy interupted him. Troy had came over to Chad's place to ask him about his past and his marriage with Gabriella.. he needed more answers.

"I need to know chad, I need to know more about our marriage.." Chad sighed, running a hand through his hair, He looked at him, "Okay. I think after Rider was born, that was when things started going wrong..." Troy nodded for him to continue, "After you became a laker, the fame got to your head, you didn't spend any time with your family, Or Gabriella. You never called your parents for visits. when your mom and dad came for a visit you left."

"I what? why?" Chad shrugged, "You wanted to be with amber most of the time...other reasons I don't know." Troy looked down, "Has..Has Gabriella ever tried to leave me.?" Chad nods, "We tried to get her to leave you, she did once, But that was before you completely lost your head, you stalked her around, she was staying with her mom, and you stalked her. you came into her room one night and wouldn't leave until she took you back and I guess that was it.."

Troy gulped nervously, "Was..Was she ever..with any other guys?" Chad sighed, but nodded, "When you got with amber, she started dating this guy named Mike, he was a hockey player.. but she left him to come back to you-" "Did she sleep with him?" Chad sighed, "I don't know.. you have to ask her that.. but I wouldn't blame her if she did Troy.. I honestly wouldn't and I'm sorry to say it, but it's true."

Troy bites his lip, looking down at the floor...or the walls...or-well, anything but his friends eyes. "I really messed up didn't I?" Chad sighs, "Man, all I know is, you got dealt a second chance when you were in that accident...that is what you don't want to screw up."

Troy finally looks at him, "Chad-" "I mean Troy, this second chance? It's a gift...don't screw it up. Make it better than the first try."

Troy looks down at his hands, "When..what was our wedding like?" Chad smiled, "Your wedding was great, It was on the beach by the ocean, all your friends and family were there, and Gabriella's dress was beautiful.

Taylor was just saying the other day she was jealous of her dress." Troy smiled, "I wish I could remember it." Chad smiled, "Hey, that's a good idea."

Troy looks at him, "What?" "Starting over. Ask Gabriella to marry you again. in a way she will never forget it. and then have another weddinng."

Troy's eyes light up, his lips quirking in a smile. "You think that'll work?" Chad smirks, waggling his brows, "oh yes, definitely...make it unforgettable, and me-being your most loyal best friend- will assist you."

Troy smiles, standing up and stuffing his hands in his pockets, "This will be awesome..uh.." his face drops and Chad stands up in concern, "what?" "Ashley. Who will keep her away?"

Chad laughs, "every guy who hates her? She's banged and screwed with...trust me, that's the whole team. We'll help with that."

A Week later. Troy's parents were in town and we're having dinner at Chad's house. Taylor walked around the table placing salad on people's plate's. Rachel Bolton smiled, "This is a lovely meal Taylor."

Taylor smiled, "Thank you so much Mrs Bolton." Gabriella sat beside Troy, taking small bites of her salad. Troy smiled at her and whispered in her ear, "How's the baby?" He asked rubbing her belly. Gabriella smiled, "It's fine. Just making mommy hungry." she whispered back giggling.

"What are you two whispering about over there?" Jack smiled. Gabriella giggled looking at Troy, then at everyone else, "Well, Me and Troy..are going to have another baby." she smiled.

It seems that everything stops, and everyone looks at them. Taylor's eyes widen and her mouth falls agape, "Are...are you serious?" Troy grabs Gabriella's hand, "absolutely...this baby...it's like a second chance."

Taylor smiles, "Oh my gosh! I am going to be a Godmother again!" she goes over and hugs Gabriella tightly. Rachel and Jack smiled, "I'm going to be a grandmother again!" Rachel squealed. Jack smiled at his son, "Congrats Son."

Troy smiles, "Thanks dad." Chad brings in a plate of bread sticks. "Get them while their hot." Gabriella grabbed one off the plate, and then stood up, "I need to use the restroom real quick." Troy kisses her, "Be back. love you." she smiles, "Love you too." and she walks into the other room.

Looking around, Troy takes a bread stick from the plate and a ring from his pocket. He slips the ring casually on the plate again. Folding his hands in his lap, Chad rolls his eyes, "Dude..." he sits in front of him. "What are you doing?"

Troy looks at him, "I'm waiting to propose to Gabriella-" "You put the ring on the breadstick!" "I thought it was a corny idea that she'd love-" "It's corny...and it's stupid." Chad sighs, putting his hand on Troy's shoulder, "Man, you're not marrying the breadstick..you're marrying her so what you do is take the ring off the bread and you put it on her finger like this-oh that's nice dude.."

Troy sighs, "Yeah thanks now...take it off." Chad sighs, "Okay..but you better screw this up-shit.." "Shit? What shit? No, don't say shit.." "Troy the ring...it's stuck on my finger!"

"WHAT?!" Troy grabs Chad's finger and tries to pull the ring off but to no avail. "Chad...I hate-" "Back." The two boys whip around to see Gabriella, Troy smiles and chuckles nervously. "Brie...hey.."

Gabriella stands there raising her eyebrows, "Uh..Troy..Chad..what's up?" Troy clears his throat, Chad hides his hand behind Troy's back. "umm nothing..." Troy smiles. Gabriella looks at him, "umm..are you sure?"

Troy nods, "Yeah..why won't you go outside on the patio and I'll be out there in a minute-" "Why is chad's hand hiding behind you?-" "He's not-" Gabriella walks over, pulling Troy's shoulder away and grabbing Chad's hand and looking at the sparkly diamond ring on his finger. Gabriella gasped, "It's..It's beautiful.." she looks at Troy, "T-Troy..what..what's going on?"

Troy sighs, "This.." he gets down on one knee, pulling Chad down with him and holds Chad's hand out to her.

She raises an eyebrow at her, "you...are giving me Chad?" Troy fights the urge to laugh, Chad's expression is hilarious. "No..babe, it's the ring...I'm asking you to marry me."

Gabriella's breath hitched in her throat, "W-W-What?" Troy smiles, standing up with chad, and grabbing her hands, and holding them close, "I love you Gabriella. and I don't ever wanna lose you again, and I promise, I'll spend the rest of our lives making everything up to you.. and I think getting married again will help."

Gabriella smiles, tears shining in her eyes, "Troy..The ring..it's beautiful..." she began sobbing.

Chad rolls his eyes, "uh...hello, guy with a ring on his finger that ain't his! I'd like it off..." he looks at his finger with the ring, "ah hell no, it's turning my finger blue...it's turning it blue, man.."

Troy chuckles as Gabriella giggles, "Well Chad, come on...let's go see what can be done-" "no sharp objects." Troy looks at him, "Dude-" "I mean it Troy...no sharp objects."

Taylor laughs, grabbing his hand and leading him into the other room. Troy pulls Gabriella close, and Gabriella wraps her arms around his neck, and Troy holds her hands around his neck. '

He pecks her lips, and looks at her, "So is that a yes?" Gabriella nods, "In every language, Si, Yeah, Ya, Yes."

Troy smiles, leaning down to capture her lips in a soft kiss and his hands held her waist tightly. It was perfect, except for Chad whining like a baby as Taylor twists and pulls the ring off his finger.

"Damn! That hurts!" Taylor grunts, "well Chad, I'm not the one with fat fingers!" Chad gasps, "Take that back!"

That night after the dinner, Troy and Gabriella were in the bedroom. Troy was laying against the headboard, resting his head on the back of his arm. Gabriella had one knee on the bed, and her other leg on the floor and she was looking at the pink little outfit that her mother bought her.

Gabriella smiles at Troy and and holds the outfit up to her, "Look how cute this is?" Troy chuckles, "Baby, sorry to break it to you, but you will never be able to fit into that."

Gabriella scoffed, and hit his leg with the outfit and crawls up next to him, "Are you excited about the new baby?" she asked laying her head on his shoulder.

Troy lays his head on top of her's "More than anything," she smiles, wrapping an arm around his waist and closing her eyes briefly, then the door flys open and Chad runs through holding something in his hand.

"I got it off! It took a long long time, but I did it-with Taylor's help, but it's off!" he hands it to Gabriella, "here you go Gabster and congratulations.."

Gabriella giggled, "Thanks Chad." Chad nods smiling, and leaves. Troy sits up, grabbing the ring from her and slipping the ring on her finger. "It's official.." Gabriella smiles, "Yes. I love you." she whispered.

He smiles, "I love you too.. so much." Gabriella smiles, and lays her head on his chest, sighing heavily. "I'm exhausted." she said.

Troy smiles, kissing the top of her head. "Me too..." "how about we sleep right now?" "And wake each other in the morning?" Gabriella smiles, leaning up and pressing a kiss to his lips.

Hmm, she loves him. "You...read my mind." Troy smiles, "you look tired.." "...and you too." "Good night baby Brie." "Good night, Wildcat."
