Gabriella awoke from a refreshing nap.
She yawned and sat up in the bed she was currently in.
Gabriella swung her legs off the bed, and slowly stood up.
She walked out of the bedroom, and down the short hallway, to where she heard people talking in the kitchen.
" Hey! Look who it is!" Troy said playfully as Gabriella walked into the dinning room.
Troy stood up with Faith and walked over to Gabriella, he gave her a kiss on the cheek, and let her sit in his chair.
" Did you have a nice nap?" Anna asked as she poured a glass of water for Gabriella.
" I did, thank you." Gabriella responded.
" Flying always made me sick…" Lena Montez, Gabriella's mom, threw into the conversation.
" I never really did well flying either, now that I think about…" Anna thought.
The two women began comparing their airborne illnesses.
Troy leaned in to Gabriella, " You know…we should probably tell them…" He softly whispered as he pulled up a chair next to Gabriella.
" Do you think they'll get upset?" Gabriella whispered back, as she pulled Faith into her arms.
" I don't think so…" Troy said as he smiled.
" Well, aren't you two quiet!" Anna exclaimed, turning her attention to the younger adults in the room.
Gabriella blushed and quickly turned her attention to Faith.
" Well…mom…" Troy looked at Gabriella, their eyes met, and Troy smiled.
" We DO have a bit of a secret…" He said playfully.
Lena and Anna both exchanged surprised looks.
" And what might this secret be?" Lena asked, mainly directed towards Gabriella.
" Well…it wouldn't be a secret if we told you…" Troy replied in a 'duh' voice.
" Troy Bolton, you tell us what is going on right now!" Anna exclaimed, showing how nosey she was.
Troy opened his mouth to speak just as his father came through the door.
" Hello everyone." Jack said happily
Anna gave him a scolding look.
" What" Jack asked, now confused.
" Uh…I've got to…go." Gabriella said awkwardly as she stood up from the table.
She walked around to the side where her mother was sitting and slipped Faith into Lena's arms.
Troy watched her and then stood up as well, " I've got to uh…go with her."
" Where are you two going?" Anna asked as she raised her eyebrows.
" On a walk…" Troy said quickly, then turned and jogged to catch up with Gabriella.
Gabriella was already outside.
She trotted off the patio and away from the house.
A few yards away, she stopped and looked at the setting sky.
She breathed.
Troy rushed out the door, and closed it behind him.
He jogged to catch up to Gabriella, and then he slowly walked up behind her.
" Hey…" He said carefully.
Gabriella turned around; soft tears glistened on her cheeks.
She sadly smiled.
" What happened back there?" Troy asked softly.
Gabriella wiped her eyes, " I don't know…"
Troy nodded, and waited for her to continue.
" I mean…did you see the look on my mom's face?"
Troy looked at her strangely.
" She looked…like she knew what we were going to say…and I know she wouldn't approve…"
Troy gently placed his hand on Gabriella's arm, as Gabriella began to cry.
" I just feel like everything we're doing is against all my beliefs…"
Troy tried to understand, but he couldn't, " Like how?"
Gabriella softly laughed as she looked back to the sky, " Like I'm supposed to be married…" She confessed.
The two were silent.
" Well…" Troy began, " I guess you'll just have to marry me." He said, not taking his eyes off the sky.
Gabriella snapped her head around, so she was facing him, " What?" She asked, taken aback.
" Marry me, Gabriella." Troy said, now looking into Gabriella's chocolate eyes.
" What?" Gabriella asked again, now completely flabbergasted.
Troy laughed at her utter confusion.
" Gabriella, what can I say? We've had good times, and bad times. You…are my everything, and now, I mean…we have a family!"
Gabriella smiled and placed a hand on her stomach. A few tears fell from her eyes.
" Gabby, you mean the world to me, and SO much more." Troy wiped her eyes with his thumbs.
He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a black box.
Gabriella gasped as her hands flew to her mouth.
" Will you marry me?"
Gabriella nodded her head, " Yes." She whispered.
Troy smiled as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
Gabriella looked at it, and then looked at Troy, she was speechless.
Troy pushed a lose strand of hair out of her eyes, and gently cupped her face.
" I love you." Troy said, and he meant it.
As often as he told her, Gabriella never got tired of hearing those words.
" I love you too." She said as she placed her hands over his.
Troy leaned in, as did Gabriella, and their lips softly brushed in a soft, romantic kiss.
Troy pulled away and looked at Gabriella, she still had her eyes closed.
He smiled.
" I guess we should go tell our parents we're getting married…" Gabriella said shyly.
Troy nodded.
Walking back, Troy slipped his hand into Gabriella's.
Gabriella looked at him and smiled.
" Life is good."
