Gabriella didn't sleep a wink that night.

Her mind was flooded with images of Troy.

" What is wrong with me?" She thought to herself as she attempted to find a comfortable position to lie in.

Finally, she decided that it was hopeless.

She got up out of her bed and walked over to Faith's travel crib.

The baby was peacefully sleeping, her eyes tightly shut and her chest rising and falling gently.

Gabriella smiled as she watched her daughter sleep.

" She looks a lot like me." Gabriella said to herself.

It was true, Faith did look a lot like her mother, with her dark hair and nose, it was obvious who her mother was.

However, there were traits that did not come from Gabriella, such as her smile, which wasn't really a smile, it was more of a grin, and of course the ice blue eyes.

Gabriella started humming softly.

She didn't know why, she was just happy.

She hummed the lyrics to "Start of Something New", softly remembering the tune.

She sweetly brushed her fingertips over Faith's forehead.

Faith stirred briefly, then her breathing returned to its peaceful state.

Gabriella decided that it would be best not to wake the baby, so she quietly slipped out onto her balcony.

The breeze was relaxing as it caught her shoulder length curls.

Gabriella quietly closed the door, and walked over to the edge of the platform.

She could recall countless times that she had met Troy out here, on this very balcony.

Every time was a memory to her, and were each special in there own way.

Gabriella leaned onto the wooden railing.

She crossed her arms and peered into the nearby tree.

Sure enough, it was still there.

Troy and Gabby

Forever.

She remembered that Troy refused to put the date underneath their names, because as he said,

" Our love is timeless".

Gabriella giggled at his actions, and she did giggle out loud this time.

She shook her head at their behavior.

" We were so in love."

Gabriella's thoughts were interrupted by her cell phone; it was ringing from her room.

She quickly turned to go in and grabbed her phone, hit the 'silent' button, then re-entered her balcony.

" Hello?" She asked in a half whisper.

" Hey Baby! How have you been?" Austin's voice filled her ears.

" Oh, hey Austin. Um…we've been great." She said in a disappointed tone.

" What's wrong? You sound…upset."

" Maybe I don't want to talk to you…"

" Oh, I'm just tired…" Gabriella said.

" Oh, the time difference! I'm so sorry! Honey, I forgot!"

Gabriella rolled her eyes, " It's ok, no worries…"

There was a long awkward pause.

" So, I…erm, guess I'll go." Austin said

" Yeah, me too." Gabriella replied.

" I love you" Austin said before hanging up.

Gabriella quickly hung up the phone.

She sadly sighed, then put the phone down.

Gabriella glanced around the dark patio area.

She looked back down at her cell phone.

The screen was now black, and Gabriella could barely make out the phone itself.

Before turning in, her eyes lingered for a while on the "Troy and Gabby" tree.

The moon hit it just perfectly, so the tree was lit in the dark sky.

Gabriella gazed at it a moment, then gave a slight shiver.

She turned around and walked back into her room.

As she was locking the door, she again, paused and looked at the luminous tree.

She bit her bottom lip and blinked her eyes.

" Is this a sign?"
