Months Later


Gabriella had just gotten home from an appointment. Lately, she hadn't been feeling too well and decided to make a doctor's appointment. On the other hand, Troy was on a trip. He went to another marine life preserve for a week but was returning late tonight. Gabriella couldn't wait. He was expected to get home after midnight though.


Midnight.


Gabriella slowly walked throughout the house, cleaning up some things off of the floor and throwing trash away. She was listening to a movie while doing this and lounged on the couch, Daisy hopping up beside her. Gabriella patted the small patch of fabric beside her head where Daisy would fit perfectly. Daisy came over and plopped herself down next to Gabi, giving her kisses before falling asleep.

Gabriella continued watching the movie until she dose off into a deep sleep.


Two Hours Later


Gabriella was still sound asleep on the couch with Daisy right beside her.

Troy walked unlocked the door and stepped inside slowly and silently, being careful to not wake Gabriella up incase she was asleep. He heard the TV on in the living room and plopped his suitcase down to go there. He saw the DVD menu up on the screen and found an asleep Gabriella on the couch. He patted her shoulder gently causing her to open her eyes.

"Hey, when you'd get home?"

"Just a few minutes ago, let's go upstairs." he whispered back to her.

"Alright. Can you turn that off?"

Troy walked over to the TV and turned it off also switching the DVD player off. They silently walked upstairs, Daisy slowly coming from behind.

"How was your trip?" Gabi asked once she slid into the bed.

"It was great, hey, I bought you something."

"Really?"

Troy walked over and grabbed a plastic bag with whales, dolphins, and fish images all over it. He reached into it and pulled out a book on whales, since she wanted to learn more about caring for them, and a small stuffed dolphin. She loved dolphins to death and was excited that he bought it for her.

"You didn't have to! I love it!"

"Well, I thought you would like both. Glad you like it." he replied.

She gently kissed his cheek and layed down, he did the same.

"I took your advice and went to the doctor.."

"Well, what did he say?"

"Well, he told me what was wrong."

"What?"

"Troy, I'm--"


Note: Cliffhanger! Well, probably not to most of you who are really good guessers, but I tried to make it a little more descriptive and a little more.. cliffhangerish. Haha. Can you guess what she's going to tell him? Isn't Troy really sweet to his wife? I'd love to be her.. omgosh I would. Married to Zac Efron/Troy Bolton. HECK YAHH. Hehe, getting carried away. Hoped you like this chapter, it's definatly better than the last one.. to me at least! It's probably the most interesting one I've written out of the whole three. -Peace, Brianna
