" Taylor, I really don't know what I'm going to do!" Gabriella in a panic began pacing the bathroom.

" Gabby, I'm worried for you, I mean…what's Austin going to say when he finds out this baby isn't his either…"

Gabriella was silent; Taylor knew she was thinking of something.

" Gabby?" Taylor asked, now beginning to become suspicious.

" I've got it!" Gabriella exclaimed.

" Austin won't ever have to know! Tonight we can just-"

" GABRIELLA!" Taylor quickly interrupted, as Gabriella fell silent.

Taylor shook her head and silently laughed at her friend's ridiculous thoughts.

"Gabriella…" Taylor began as she massaged her temple, " Why don't you just come home?"

Gabriella was about to speak, but Taylor's voice stopped her.

" I mean, we both know that Troy would take care of you and Faith…not to mention be ecstatic about another baby…"

Taylor stopped to wait for Gabriella's reply; instead she heard her soft sobs.

Taylor took the opportunity to speak again, " I just don't understand why you're doing this."

Both girls went silent.

Taylor then felt bad, as Gabriella continued to cry.

Finally, Gabriella spoke, " I don't know Taylor! All I've ever wanted…was Troy."

" Then…why did you agree to marry Austin?" Taylor asked, now confused.

Gabriella shook her head, " I don't know…I guess I just wanted to prove to Troy and myself…that I didn't need him…guess I was wrong…"

" But, why Austin?" Taylor asked again, now even more confused.

" He hasn't always been like this…all…formal and work centric."

Taylor waited for Gabriella to continue.

" I mean, he used to be…like Troy…I mean, he was the first person I meant when I moved out here, and…I don't know. It's like I was looking for a replacement…to fill the deep whole in my heart…and that's what led me to Austin."

Gabriella took in a breath, and then exhaled.

" But then… he got promoted…and suddenly, he was Mr. High and Mighty, and his job took up majority of his life…it still does! It's like…I'm at home with Faith, and he's married to his job…and I don't want that…for me or my kids…"

Taylor silently nodded her head.

" That's mainly why I came to Albuquerque…not really to see Troy…but to…reconnect with myself…I didn't even plan to run into Troy…and…and…" Gabriella began having difficulty finishing.

" …But then I did…and now I can't get him out of my mind Tay! He's all I think about…and every day I regret coming back here to Washington…I wish it were like a movie, then I could just…leave. But I can't do that…" Gabriella sighed.

" I don't think I'm emotionally stable to do that…" Gabriella gave a light-hearted laugh.

She sighed again, " Tay…are you still there?"

Taylor lightly dabbed her eyes with a tissue, " Yeah, I'm still here."

Gabriella heard Faith's cries coming from the other room.

" Aw, Tay, I have to go, Faith's crying..."

" Yeah…I hear! Just wait until you have two!" Taylor exclaimed, and then regretted it.

"Well, anyways, I'll talk to you later, ok?" Taylor said quickly

" Oh, yeah…bye Taylor!" Gabriella said weakly.

Gabriella hung up the phone and came out of the bathroom.

" Faith, it's ok! I'm coming!" Gabriella assured her daughter as she came around the corner and into the living room.

Gabriella bent down and took Faith out of her swing.

She was barely two months now, and still as cute as a button.

" Shh, honey, it's ok." Gabriella soothed Faith's cries.

" There now, all better."

Gabriella sat on the couch, and laid Faith down beside her.

She began to sweetly play with Faith, by tickling her small toes, and repeating words like "mama" over and over again.

Gabriella was happy that at least one important thing in her live was turning out ok.

Meanwhile, back in Albuquerque, Taylor had her head down on the kitchen table.

Chad walked in through the door, and immediately noticed his wife.

" Hey baby…" He said carefully.

" Um…everything alright?"

Taylor slowly lifted her head, and rubbed her tired eyes.

" She's pregnant…" Taylor said simply.

Chad, who was beyond confused, just gave his wife a quizzical look.

Taylor, noticing this, impatiently spat, " Gabriella! Gabriella's pregnant…again…"

Chad, now understanding, sat down next to his wife, " Whoa…that's…not good." He said.

Taylor nodded her head, " I know…and Austin doesn't even know…"

Chad's face contorted into utter confusement, " Why wouldn't she tell Austin?"

Taylor rolled her eyes, " The baby's not Austin's…"

Chad's eyes enlarged, " It's TROY'S?"

Taylor sadly nodded her head.

" But…she's supposed to be getting married to that guy! He's going to find out that neither one of those kids are his…wow"

" I know…and the thing that really bugs me, is that she's so in love with Troy…"

" Then, why is she still in Washington?"

" Her own stupid pride and stubbornness…"

Chad nodded his head.

The two sat in silence for a while, neither not really knowing what to say.

Taylor yawned, " Well…I'm going to head to bed." She said tiredly as she got up and began to walk away.

Chad quickly stood and grabbed her hand, " Hey, don't stress ok?"

Taylor nodded as Chad kissed her forehead.

" Besides, you and I both know that it's bad for the baby."

Taylor nodded again as Chad leaned down and gently kissed her lips.

---------------

Gabriella was still sitting on the couch; she was gently rubbing her hand around Faith's small stomach.

Faith had drifted off to sleep; only minutes ago, and now her chest peacefully rose up and down.

Gabriella rested her other hand on her slightly bulging abdomen, gently rubbing that as well.

Gabriella smiled.
